4 TRIBurE TO CONFEDERATE SOLDIERS.
The New York Sun, in taking strong
grounds against the increase of the
United States army, compares the ma

late war, with that of the COnfrderutes.

The quality Of the Confederate
soldiers etfectually disposes of tue plea

army as nucleus. On tho Union side
was the entire rank and file of the old
army. OF that force. the rebels had

and filo was composed wholly of raw
men, and, in the first two years of the
war, volunteers. Yet what an infantry

charge in line of battle never approao OH
Confederate cemetery without taking
l'off our hats in homage to the devoted
braves who ever walked straight into
the jaws Of death without blenching. "
