' Increase of the Army.
The President has issued bis -proclamation
calling for 300,000 volunteers to in
crease the army so as to render it capable
of operating efficiently against the rebels.
We snppose that this large n unifier of tnen
are actually needed,, or 'they woald not
have been demanded. . But if needed if
without the addition of that number the ar
my will not be in condition lo act with ef
fect against the rebel forces, or. perhaps to
bold all the important positions of which it
is now in possession it strikes us that very
strong inducements sbonld be held out to
tempt men into the service.
It may be said that such inducements are
offered; that large bounty will be paid, and
that there ia a probability amounting almost
to a certainty, that the soldier's pay will be
increased from $13 to $16, or even a larger
sum, per month.
Very true. Bat is there no . drawback to
this 1 Does not the present policy of the
Administration in regard to our soldiers cap
tured by the enemy more than neutralize
all the inducements held out by high boun
ty and increaed pay 1
There is an act of Congress, we believe,
providing for the punishment of persons
who may be convicted of discouraging en
iistments. Is not the administration guilty
of. that offence. ? What eould possibly be
more discouraging to enlisting than the fact
that our men taken prisoners by the enemy,
can see no end to their captivity and their
sufferings in rebel prisons, because of the
policy adopted by the administration . in re
gard to exchange ? Under that policy any
of our brave soldiers, who are so unfortu
nate as to fall prisoners into the enemy's
hands, may lie in rebel prisons, and, starve
and rot there, cntil such time as the Con
federate administration may see proper to
recognize the negro as the equal of the
white man, and exchange a Lincoln darkey
in uniform for a rebel soldier. . . .
. As the time is uot likely soon to arrive
when the Confederate administration will
do this, and as Mr. Lincoln ha not, up to
this time, shown the slightest disposition to
change bis views, or recede Irom or modify
the policy we have indicated, the conclu
sion cannot be avoided that our toldiers
now prisoners, and those who may hereaf
ter be captured, must languish in captivity
to the close of the war, unless, in the mean
time, death : steps in to their relief, and
while he kills their bodies, sets their spirits
Iree.
Is this a wise or humane policy towards
our white soldiers who have borne the
brunt of the war so far, and must bear it to
the end? In our judgment i! is cruel, atro.
c'tons injustice. Will men, with the proba
bility of such a fate staring them in the face
enlist as freely as they wonld under a wiser
and juster policy of exchange, throngh
which, il so unfortanate as ta be taken pris
oners, they might confidently expect a
speedy release 1,
Certainly not. The bravest man he who
will stand unmoved amid the storm of bat
tle, and unflinchingly peril his life, will t
shrink from the horrors of prison life, the j
poisonons atmosphere of a crowded room,
the filih and vermin that, under such cir
cumstances are unavoidable, unwholesome
water and starvation rations.
. We trust that some influential and hu
mane friends of the administration, who re
ally, wieh to see the decimated ranks of the
army filled by brave, intelligent white sol
diers, will move in Ibis matter, and urge
upon the administration the necessity of
changing their policy.
The Cost of Charleston and Richmond.
We have always been of the opinion that
an hundred weight of iron expended on a
railroad was worth millions ol times the
same weight of the same metal used up in
forty pounders. We should like to have an
inquiry started in the next Congress, to
prove what weight of metal has been used
against Charleston and the forts in the vicin.
age. . We understand that the powder, ball
and shell alone have cost some seven mil
ion, while the expenses of the different
'expeditions have exceeded thirty. This is
a precious little item as the cost of taking
one city we be? pardon, we meant to say
attempting to take one city. The? proba
bilities are that the cost will be doubled,
and then they will have to abandon it. And
yet the poor, deluded, blind people, who
are uitima'ely to pay all this debt, look on in
a sort of stupor at the immense preparations
and throw up their hats when they hear of
the vigorous shellingof Charleston, al:hongb
they will have to down with the dost -some
day, to pay for it all. It is all dance now,
the piper has not yet passed round the hat.
And then, too, what has been, the cost of at
tempting to take Richmond Several hun
dreds of millions, enough, if expended, to
build a half a dozen cities of the size, and
almost as many lives lost as would populate
the whole of tbem. And so the war runs
on, and this monstrous debt runs on with it,
eating up the resources of the country,
mortgaging its lands, destroying the flower
of its youth, demoralizing and emascula
ting its people. Douglas Jertold ued to
say, that ''the shirt of Nessus was a shirt
not paid lor," and if this war debt does not
prove a shirt of Nessus to us and our pos
terity,' it will be because an indignant and
crashed people will rise and thro of! the
incubus, will not put it on to burn and
scorch their vitals. The delusion of tbi

The FresideDt's Jlcssase.
With one or t wo exceptions, which will
J strike our readers without particular refer
ence to them, we so nearly concur in ' the
following views of the President's messaj-e,
which we find in the Journal of Commerce,
that we adopt them as the expression of our
own sentiments. Passing over those parts
referring to foreign relations, the depart
mental reports. &e., and coming at once to
the important part, to which all eyes and
thoughts will be directed, the Journal
says': - ': : '
The President's plan for reconstruction or
restoration seems to be less a plan of paci
fication than a device to perpetuate the
affect of the Abolition measures in the
Southern Stales. The plan embodied in
the proclamation which Mr. Lincoln pro
poses to issue sounds very much like a
ukase from the chambers of an autocrat,
instead of the voice of an ordinary man,
temporarily representing the constitutional
government of the United States.
, la our view the grand question is now,
"Can we restore peace and union, without
reference to slavery or the negro at all V
If the proclamations and acts of the admin
istration are law, they will stand as law
till repealed. The past is past. But the
President seems to think the great question
how to perpetuate the laws and proclama
tions relating to slavery ; and the question
of peace and union he makes wholly sec
ondary to that. The negro is ' the promi
nent object of his care ; the legislation relat
ing to the negro is that which alone he
labors to make effective ; the negro is the
condition on which he rests the possibility
of peace.: This prominence, given to the
negro ts a melancholy indication of the
failure ot Mr Lincoln to see the future , as
men of sagacity, trne statesmen here and
elsewere see it. I If the slave is free, he is
free ; and why then waste so many words
in making the peace of our nation depend
ent on his freedom 1 .
A wise man would trust the proclama
tions and the acts of Congress to the future
action of the courts and the people, not
thrust them forward now as the special con
ditions of pacification. As we read the
message, Mr. Lincoln means to say that
there is no peace except on the condition
of abolition. Wisdom would have looked
for peace without any such condition, leav
ing the laws to their owu effect.
The serious question is whether this plan
of the President is calculated to Bring about
peace whether it is a proclamation that
is likely to be well received by any con
siderable portion of the people engaged in
the insurrection, and to hasten the close of
the war. It is plain that what Mr. Lincoln
wants is peace and abolition. He does not
take into consideration at all the question
of peace without abolition. In this respect
he lends himself entirely to the radical
Abolitionists, and evidently expects to coo
tinue the war until slavery is actually abol
ished where his old proclamation has theo
retically abolished it. The President's idea
of closing the war is by a sort of individ
ual and personal contract with each and
every man, woman and child, to the eifect
that if the person will sustain all the.policy
of the Administration and all its acts and
proclamations, he or she will be pardoned.
The offer is. doubtless one which the Presi
dent has the right to make. If the people
will accept it, it is a very neat and pretty
way of doing up the war. But it certa inly
does not hold out very brilliant prospects of
success as a pacificatory measure. Neither
is the President's halting and hesitating
method of defending his position and plan
at all encouraging or inspiring. He does
not seem to have faith in it, he introduces
it with an argument in its lavor, which is
of course an admission t,hal needs defence ;
and this is a very bad feature in any pub
lic measure of so great importance as this.
There is nothing statesmanlike in the plan
or the paper defending it. It indicates a
narrow view of the grand questions of gov
ernment involved in the future pacification
of the country, and a total failure to rise to
the solemn importance ol the events crowd
ing into the close of bis administration.
Withoat perception of the real condition
ot the country, and without ability to master
the grand problem before him, we have
here from Mr. Lincoln a proclamation
which is, as compared with the vast throes
of the nation which have seemed to produce
it a very small and pony affair.
Was it not enough to require an oath to
support the Constitution of the United States,
and all laws made and acts done in pursu
ance of it ? Why force the negro in the
very nostrils of the Soathern man whose
submission to law you seek ? Is it said the
oath requires no more than that t Vi;a all
doe respect to Mr. Lincoln it requires a
great deal more.' It requires the support
of a proclamation which one-half cf the
people of the North do not support. It re
quires the sopport of laws one half cf the
people of the North repudiate as nnll and
void, because unconstitutional. 'The doc
trine is not yet forced on American that
they must obey a law until it is. declared
unconstitutional. On . the contrary, the
American is compelled to judge and take
responsibilities on . himself, which in no
other country are imposed on the ci.izen;
and if in obedience to a law; an American
citizen injures a neighbor, and the law is
declared unconstitutional, he is compelled
to pay the damages. It is no defence to
plead, "I obej ed law on the statute books."
This proclamation requires the taking of an
oath, as a condition ot pardon, which half
the citizens of the Northern States would
refuse to take. It is tree the President may
proffer pardon on conditiocs. Bat the ques
tion is whether his conditions are wise,
practical, likely to do good. . We are very
much alraid that the Administration knows
no more bow to make peace than it has
heretofore seemed to know about making
war. We see no prospect of peace tr good
to the country in the President's plait. Oc
the contrary, we fear he has thrown away
a goldea opportunity for the country, lor
the sake of winning a support among
Northern 'radicals for himself.
There is one part of the proclamation
which preseuts a curious subject for reflec
tion that, ia which the President, talks
about temporary arrangements for the
slaves, to be made by State authority, when
new State governments are organized. Here
is a most singular muddle of State rights
and executive "abolitionism. We must
take more than a day to see our way
through it. What has the pardoning
power to do with the re-organization of
State governments and the laws they may
pass relatingv'to their domestic affairs?
Does the President intend to retain a veto
power over State legislatures ? It looks as
if he means to do this, or at least to imply
not only that persons who are pardoned
must sustain bis pet ' schemes, but also
legislatures that are organized musrpass
such taws as be likes. How would this
work if the next President should happen
to be of different politics and different views
about the negro 1
The genera.l scope of the President's plan
may be said lo be of the extreme radical
sort. He almost, but not quite, recognizes
Mr. Sumner's State suicide theory. He
ignores the present existence of State gov
ernments, regards them as defunct, and
anticipates a sort of territorial reorganiza
tion. In this view he is neither sound nor
consistent. Bat what are soundness and
consistency worth in our day ?

LATE WAR NEWS.
We are without news from either General
Grant or General Meade, and are unable to
give our readers any information ot General
Longstreet's progress from . Blair's Cross
Roads to Knoxville. The telegraph main
tains a mysterious silence.
General Averell's Cavalry are in the
Shenandoeh Valley, and have appeared at
Staunton. This is thirty-five miles east of
Gordonsville. A local railroad connects
them but forms no portion of the great read
from Gordonsville to Lynchburg and thence
to south-western Virginia. A report (which
as the telegram that contains i states, needs
confirmation) has been received here that
Averell has destroyed this road for six miles
east of Siaunton. If snch destruction has
been made, it does not interfere with any of
the Confederate communications. The
Federal out posts of Ihe force at Harper's
Ferry at are Winchester nearly fifty miles
north of Staunton. The country between
is overrun by guerillas.
The Federal gunboat Daylight, one of the
Wilmington blockading fleet, has been
destroyed. A blockade runner had been
chased ashore, and the Daylight ventured
too near, when a shot from Fort Fisher, a
Confederate battery on the shore, exploded
her magazine, destroying the vessel and
killing most of her officers and crew.
An arrival from New Orleans givei us no
definite information about the real slate of
affairs in Texas. Military operations seem
to be at a stand-still, and it looks very much
as if the authorities there, having failed in
several expeditions, are at a loss what to
do next. General Franklio, with twenty
thousand troops, is at New Iberia, in Loui
siana, but a short distance from New
Orleans. A small force is at Matagorda
Bay, the centre of the coast of Texas, and
another at Brownsville, on the Rio Grande.
AH maintain a masterly inactivity.
An official despatch from Halifax to
Washington states that the Chesapeake has
been gived np to the British authorities, and
that the Federal c a ptcrs bad abandoned
her. It will now be the subject of lengthy
negotiations. The Chesapeake is at Hali
fax, and a party of citizens who sympathiz
ed with her captors rescued them from the
authorities upon their arrival at that port.
Every one is now at large.
A confederate raid from South Western
Virginia to Kentucky, resulted in the cap
ture of forty-six federal prisoners, and two
hundred and filly horses. Seven hundred
thousand dollars worth of property and six
hundred and fifty small arms were destroy
ed. Ten Federal soldiers were killed ; the
Confederate loss was two wounded.
It is reported that the recent storm has

the obstructions, scarcely believe this
