were matters of more than ordinary importafite. It was their habit during.the earlier,
of the rebellion to treat our advance as
of but little eénsequence, and speak of our
armies as unworthy of serious notice. When
Grant drove them fromthe Rapidan to Rich4
mond, they were boastful and defiant, and’
. Claimed every battle to ‘have. resulted in a
“wiétory for them, and when tlie President
made his repeated calls upon the country for
men to fill up’ the ranks, these calls were the.
subject.of merriment; but things have lately
changed, and they are compelled to aéknowl“edge that the condition of affairs is becoming .
Serious; and that boasting and bravado will
nto longer answer their purpose, but they
must either fill up their armies with new men
‘or fail in their undertaking.
The victories of Thomas over Hood, and:
the triumph of Sherman. in ‘Gédrgia have’
made them, wiser'than they were; they see
thatthe clouds are fast thicképing around
‘theni, and tlidt unless they can make their
Slaves.available assoldiers, they must sink.
This, however, is an experiment which they
will try with great caution, knowing that
the ats which they purpose putting into the
hands of those whom they have so Icng held .
in bondage may be turned against them-,
‘selves. They have seen them deserting their
—amasters.whenever. opportunity afforded, and .
encountering every danger in order to reach .
ur camps. They know that they feed and
« direct our brave boys when they escape from.
these Southern-hells in which they are incarcerated, ‘and they feel that the risk of plac‘ing arms in their hands might only be the
ameans.of recruiting men to fill the ranks of
their enemies, That there. is a large class
in the South who oppose, from interest, the
-__@onseription of the slave, is manifest.. These
“will do everything in their power to prevent.
‘it, This class, with those who oppose it on“the ground of fear, will make ita measure of
‘doubtful policy. But even should they force
‘the slaves into their army, with three. hunodred thousand men added to our present
force, what would they be able to accom{
plish?. Before the Spring campaign opens,
‘the majority of their seaports will be in our
‘possession, and with an army which will be
unwilling to fight their battles, and which
will require the utmost vigilance to hold
within their lines, they cannot expect to
‘accomplish . much ;-so-that-taking any view
of their, situation they have but little to
base a hope upon, and their prospects for
conquering their independence are exceed‘iwaly, gloomy.
