How About RecruitingP

kAoW IAbohS ktCOl uAtkus
The surrender Of LEES army suggests
the inquiry as to whether recruiting is to
be continued in the Northern States under
the Presidents last call for trooEs. It is
quite unlikely that there will be any or.
gauized rebel army east Of the Mississippi,
in Southwestern Louisiana and Texas there
may be some show of rebellion force, but,
at the most, it cannot amount to very
much.
The actual fighting over, and the ne.
ces,ity for strong garrisoDs at strategic
or otherwise important points in the South
is removed, and Of course the government
will no. need to keep in the field an army
as large as that which it has maintained
for three years past. Taking all these
considerations into view, it seems hardly
necessary that the administration should
persist in demanding the 800 900 soldiers
called for By the Presidents last proofs.
nation, Estimating the number of men
now in active service and f, for duty 9,
100000, it is probable that by the close
of the year not more than 800 900 will re.
main, owing to the fact that The term of
service of large portion of our soldiers
will expire between the present time and
January, 1865. These 100000 men will
be more than will be actually needed even
allowiDg-which is not improbable
the party in power will insist upon re.
tanning under arms large military force.
The best rode OF settling the matter
would seem to be for the authorities to
announce that the immediate need oftroops
having ceased, recruiting should also
cease ; but, in case it should be deemed
necessary hereafter to put more men under
arms, demand would be made upon those
/ caltits which have not filled their quotas
under the present call. Such course
would be at once economical and polite
1t would relieve communities Of the heayc
expense incurred by raising soldiers--au
item of grave Importance in time like
this, when, in addition to the immense ma.
tional debt, every town, every county, and
every state is burdeued with unprecedent
ed financial indebtness. 1t would also re
duce the current expenses of the govern
ment, which is likewise q considertion pot
to be overlooked. Moreover, true polic,
indicates that as soon as the tremendou
pressure oil this war is partially removed
the Industry of the nation should be turn
ed,as far aspossbIe ,iuto its ordinary chan
nels that its products may be applied to
restoring the country to the state of pros
