which ifte ho will gat the r-qflretl
army of fiffy thousand raw recruits
by about Jaun iry n«*t. . But if, ae
Oh . Halleck i« reported t«. have
■aid th* Yankees want recruits t
the number of 200,QÚQi aud that
immediately, in order to hold the
whole territory now iu their possess-
ion, k n at the rate of 500 per day
tfce reomjla will be rawed in some-
thing «ver a year hence. But Hal-
leek taya th*y «re all needed forth-
with, or they will have to abandon
territory taken by them. If this w
not done «ooq he thiuk* it will re
qiure an army of eight hundred
thouaand (just oae to every squiir.
mil*).to accomplish the same thing
next spring. He evideutjy base*
hia calculations on the assumption
that the rebel generala will t ke ad-
vantage of the weakened condition
«£ the Federal army, by the heavy
detachments required to garrison and
hold Vickaburg and Port Hudson
and the balance of the Kifcsissippi,
as well aa the important points in
other States. We predict that they
wiflT soon begin to find out that their
late conqtu-fcts are likely to prove
move disastrous to themselves than
to Us. Ourown people-have only to
be ,espute and determined and the
Tenerimi will soon take place. r
Ordinarily the invaded country
has the advantage of the invaders of
jBleaat thffe to one in point of num-
bers. But as £ ion as the invader*
have conquere! any considerable
portion of c.Mintry, and attempt" to
hold it by military possessiou, (and
thia-is the ojily way i> can be held.)
they may requi e(an arm)' of ten to
tSTenty. or even one hundred to one,
(according to the extent of country
to be thus held.) in order to put them
on a footing" of equality with the
army of the invaded country. Thus
it is seen tT ^í?very step the enemy
makes in advance renders the next
sttep more difficult and expensive,
or it may prove to bo only a "tie/)
ia. kujnrd*."
I'liis reasoning is, however, based
on the hypothesis that our own peo-
ple will be trne tO themselves and
their country, and there is no othci
condition whatever required to make
the posttiou here stated unanswera-
bly true. {jet the people then re-
member the great truth, that no peo-
ple ever yet were conquered who had
determined to be free, aiid nev--r can
be. Let them remember also that
next to this unalterable determina
ti.n to be free, our great Strength
lie* in our vast territory, not in
few seaports or fortified • positions..
