al, substantial command Of the re-
resources of the slave States, Mis-.

than Alabama and Florida together;
Kentucky covered its weakest front

trality, and sent quite number OF
regiments to the secession armies be.
fore she gave one to those of the
Union. New Orleans was its com
mercial and moneyed metropolis
Norfolk, Nashville, Memphis, Vicks-
burg Natchez, Knoxville, Little Rock,
&c. were its inland forts, lnanufac-
tories, and recruiting stations The
entire resources OF over ten millions
of people, of whom nearly seven mil
lions were free whites, were at its
command; while the three millions
aud over of slaves were the docile
unquestioning instruments of its will

A correspondent of the Vireoua
Wisconsin, Times gives the follow
ing interesting particulars of the ca
gle "Old Abe of the Sth Wiseon-
sin regiment:
O'd Abe is an intelligent bird, and
understands himself. When Mt lib
erty to 30 where he plcases, the SUIT
lcrs tent Is his fayorite resort. Ifany
live chickens aIe to be found, he is
to pounce on one, seizing il with one
claw. aud hobbling off on the other,
with the aid of his wings. Old Abe
we are sorry to say, is quite thief
There is one favorte dog in the regi-
ment with which the eagle keeps on
good terms. They will both eat to-
gcther at the beginning of the meal,
but towards the close of the meal rs
provisions get scarce, the eagle will
pitch into the dog and drive him off
II a horse comes within reach, Mr..
Eaglc is sure to exhibit his superior
ity ever the quadrupednl creation by
hopping on 20 the nag and inserting
his talons in no very complimentary
manner. oinls
Old Abe mmifests his appreoia
tion of orutory in n very miquc man

and then lump up and down ON his
perch. This 'aode of applause adop-
ted by the eagle is said to be very in
spring TO the orator.
When the regiment is engaged in
battle, Old Abe manilests the iicrcest
delight Al such time he will al.

place at the head ofcompany ID. To
be seen in all his glory, he should he

in the smoke of battle. Then the ca-
gle, with spread pinions, jumps up
and down on his perch, uttering such
wild, fearful screams as an eagle on
ly can utter. The iiercer, wilder and
louder the storm OF battle, the fierccr,
wilder and louder the screams of the
eagle. .......- -...,i.se
Twice Old Abe has been hit by Sc
ccssion bullets, one shot carried away
n third part Of his tail fcathersa He is
Il universal favoritc, and has been car
/ 'ried with the regiment through sey-
en- states. Thousands flock to sec
him, and he is fast becoming famous.
When the war is ovr with, this en-
gle should be kept at the expense of
the State, at the Capitol at Madison,
and the heroic warrior who bore him
safely through should he pensioned
by the State and be retained as the
keeper Of the eagle. TO this we are
sure oil the people of the State will
agree. What grand history he will
have--what a grand eagle he will, be
a hundred years hence. Pilgrims
would come in vast mnltitudes from
oil parts Of the world to sec the eagle
that was borne through this, our sec
ond war for independence. Yesl let
the eagle become State Institution

already recorded in history"

Such is, according to the census OF
1860, the white population, so nearly
as may be, of the entire area held
this day by the rebels; and it does
not exceed the population of the sin
gle State of New York.
Ont of this population, it is barely
possible that the rebels, bYthcir mer-
ciless and sweeping conscription, can
have 100000 men on their muster
rolls; but this must include nearly
every white male capable Of beal1ng
arms, Including those employed in
foundries, manufactures
OF ammunition, operators Of railroads,
DC, &e. If the rebels can pat 800.
600 men actually into the field, they
can do What no o'her four millions
ever did on earth, after three years
of bloody, exhausting war We be-
lieve 100000 to be, this day, the eX.
treme limit of their effective, fighting
force. And he it noted that they are
now at the end Of their chain. As n
thousand fall, or are disabled by
wounds or disease, there are no more
to take their places.
Believing that we see evidence that
some Of our past errors are to be
avoided, and that energy, conceutra-
ton and skillful generalship are to
signalize the campaign about to open,
we eXhort every patriot 10 regard the
future of our country with hope aud
cheerful trust.
