mighty ships are feeling of the enemy, as- pertaining the location and strength of the various batteries. The narrow, tortuous, hill-dominated channel presents many se- rious difficulties, but the American navy was built to overcome difficulties; and when 1t is fully ready it will, aided by the army, capture the entire outfit, fleet, harbor, forts and town. It is plain that Santiago is to be first taken. When it is forced to sur render, even Spain may see that farther effort on her part is useless. The prevalent is mere talk. Spain has scarcely any sea- worthy vessels left, and every one of them Is needed at home and at the CansHes. When Cervera is gathered in, the utter folly of continued resistance will become appar- ent to the holders of Spanish bonds if it is not to the Spanish rulers themselves
 capture and occupation of San Juan, the complete conquest of the Philippines pro- ceeding in the meanwhile. This plan leaves
 
 as a final and crownng effort the seizure of Cuba Possibly this may be deferred to the end of the rainy season, but 1t is much more probable that events will move rapidly, and preferable to war, or else that Havana will be attacked by overwhelming columns. The 'far-fung battle line' is at any rate and the yellow flag of oppression, cruelty and misrule is doomed to utter defeat The speedy capture of Cervera's fleet and of Santiago will illustrate anew the indomit- able force of the American navy. It may be worthy place alongside Dewey's brilliant victory.

Two New Regiments.

The Chattanooga Times, in thoughtless or belligerent mood. recently exclaimed:
 Some of the governors strenuously ob- ject to filling up short regiments, sent out on the first call. They insist on new regi- ments, because that policy gives them lot of official patronage, which they would not have if they filled up commands that were already offcered. The govern ment should take the bull by the horns, and give such governors their choice be- tween filling up the short regiments, and sending no troops on the second call. Any other course would be weak, wrong to the nation, a waste of revenue. besides being unfair to the short regiments. The presi- dent can get allzthe men needed, without conceding the absurd and unpatriotic de- mands of these state officials, who are politicians long before they are patriots, for themselves many times to once for their country.
 In no state can the policy advocated by the Times be easily carried out-least of all, in Tennessee. Governor Taylor un- derstands the difficulties in the way of gathering 35O recruits for each of the states three existing regiments, even if the Times does not. The government itself knows how difficult 1t is to fill up the regiments of the regular army They are shorter service. They do not average 700 men, and recruits cannot be obtained to fill them up. What cannot be done for the regular army surely cannot be done for the volun- teer regiments. Men will not join regi- ments that have a full complement of of- ficers, both commissioned and non-com- missioned.
 Recruiting is no more feasible in Tennes- see than it is in Alabama; and if the Times will watch the process in other states it will soon see that human nature is every where the same None of the states are obtaining recruits for existing regiments. Nor will any state furnish another states quota. Its thoughtless paragraph does as a matter of fact. invite an employment of conscription, a method that no one de- sires.
 The mistake made by the government. in regiments must remain short regiments They are not nearly so short as the regi- ments of the regular army. All the states will soon see the situation as it really ex- fists, and the second call will doubtless be filled on the lines of the first call. This means another white regiment in this state, and also black regiment; and the sooner steps are taken to organize two new regi- monts the sooner Alabama's quota will be filled. The present battalion of blacks in Mobile will constitute a nucleus of the black regiment. Governor Johnston is not as yet authorized to proceed on this basis but as the recruiting will sus y take this form the people who desire to go to war can safely make their plans accordingly.

THE VOLUNTEER

From the Selma Journal.
 The soldier who gives up home comforts, domestic life and business today, to ente, the army is hero deserving of all praise. and he is worthy the highest admiration and gratitude of his countrymen, for he is actuated by the noblest impulses of patri- otism. It is this all alb O. ng and ever predominating spirit that has raised the Anglo-Saxon race to it's present emlnence. It is this spirit that gained American in- dependence and has add d glory to the American name since the formation of the government. It is spirit that should be encouraged and honored in the most posi- tive. emphatic and appreciative man. CT. All hail to the noble volunteer!
