A POSSIBILITY. - We remarked the
other day that we deemed it exceedingly
bad policy for the Government to stop re-
cruiting on this coast. We ventuTed some
reasons for such an opinion, which we
need not now repeat. But we will ask
our readers, in additional thought, to con-
slider these facts: Captain Semmes states
to his English friends that Texas can be
made fighting ground for the chivalry for
an indefinite penod Of time, if driven
there; and there is now known organ
lied endeavor to open a secesh highway
from Texas to California. Senmes is,
like all his kind, braggart, and the secesh
forces now and to be in Texas, may be
small, inadequate for continued guerrilla
life and warfare, or for the opening OF a
plumber way to the Pacific States; yet, it
were well that Mr.. Secretary Stanton take
q hint for reflection from these items.
General Mcdowell, Of course, would re-
gard this as an absurdity, if not something
worse-ss he is about to have re.issued,
under practically his undeniable au-
spices, the Monitor and the Echo du Pa
Clique.

speculative reasons assigned for the exist

conclusive judgment from them as to the
real cause of the falling; especially as all
the assigned reasons are plausible and yet
do not admit Of cooperative validity; and
against all of them objections can be
assigned arising from the probable force
of other and essentially different reasons.
We know that it is for the great interest

ciated by the entire public. Hence the
