Our Resources in Men.

The rebels map as we'll understand that,
although our armies have been: completed
considerably by fighting in their swamps
and jungles, we have great many men
left. In Massachusetts, for instance, tie
militia rolls show the names OF fi!ty-three
thousand between the ages Of eighteen and
twenty four years. -.
Under their new law, the militia Of Mas
sachuset.s arc divided into the active class
and the reservers-those between eighteen
and twenty four years being armed and
drilled as the actives, and those between
twenty. four and forty five being enrolled
and held as reserves. 1t is reasonable to
suppose that the number OF reserves, whose
ages have range Of twenty one years, is
double the active militia, whose ages have a
range Of only six years. This would give,
in round numbers, one hundred : ana fifty
thousand available men in the little State
Of Massach nsetts, without going leyond h.
ordinary ages for enrolment. This stata-
ment will give the rebels an approximate
idea Of our resources in men.

John Morgan n Rebel Failure

Mor;an's raid into Kentucky has proved
almost as disastrous to the great horse thie'
as his former tour through Ohio. 1t now
appears that he brought into the State
about $500 men. How many he recruit.
ed We do not know. At Mt. Sterling, he
lost, in killed. wounded and prisoners. eigh.
hundred. At Cynthina. his losses foot mp
100 including 500 prisoners. Thus .ssoo
ont Of his original 2, $50 are used up. Ocr
dispatches this morning report the remnaqt
of Morgan's forces scattered and demoraliz
led. General Burbridge himself is at Lex.
ington, but two brigadcs Of his cavalry are
in pursuit Of Morgan. Prisoners are being
captured continually and brought in. The
|siege o, Frankfort has been raised. The
!anlnge to the railroads will be repaired in
Ia few days. Soldiers o: the les,h and III
Ohio captured by Morgan at Cvnthiana
were raroled, and arrived here via Augusta
yesterday afternoon. The paroles are
worth nothing. and the men &ill return to
duty Under the cartel paroles on the,
fl Id are not recognized bv either side.

Rebel Barbarity.

The Boston Journal Of the 14th says:
"At the battle Of Gettysburg, as W are
by ons who witnessed the incident
a wounded rebel soldier fell near our lines.
His means and cries for wafer were ritaous
and excited the compassion cfsome Of the
members Of q Massachusetts regiment
They attempted to relieve him, but found
that the task would be per,'ous in conse
quesce Of the vigilance Of some Arka, sas
sharpshooters VINO had effected lodgnent
within lodge at no great distance. At
length one Of our men unable to rest rain his
sympathy, threw down his gun. held up a
canteen, and called out 10 the Arkansas
men, Now don't shoot; I'm going to give
that poor fellow some water, Hs had
nearly reached the wounded man when he
was hit by ball from rebel rifle, and
compelled to rehnquish his mission OF kird
ness. The rebel riaemen knew that j: wa,
one Of their own comrades who was suffer
ing. but no emotion of sympathy could 70
strain the fendish malignity."
