These are the two essentials; rather, the army is indispensable to the taiaing of the rebellion, and money, or lit, is a sine qua non, to the keeping up the army. To raiso their army in the first place' conscripted all able-bodied men be -13 eighteen and thirty-five years of age, wing substitutes to be employed. They extended the conscription, so as to 'nee men up to fifty. They now pro and the bill is likely to pass, to• con ,t all who are able to bear arms, without ird to age, including those who have al ly furnished substitutes; and also in ling foreign residents, giving foreigners ,y days to leave the country if they wish to serve in the army. his movement indicates a near approach thaustion.

This is a wise conclusion, and own Congress may take a hint, and not •case the amount of (g legal tenders" will surely decrease in value, near as much as they multiply in their lel extent.

In two things they still to hope—one is their own desperation, the other is, Northern folly. We trust these means of stimulus will soon also and their own folly be discovered. i might they see that their wisdom id be, to cease from their wickedness. nu) Crowe, the British Minister at Ihington, 'has written home, that the will be ended in three mouths after the dog of the Spring campaign. If it not be so, the fault will be with our Governinent and people. We may, mingling justice and meroy, offer such s of amnesty as will deprive Jeff.

And he Lord shall delight in us, add take Atm in our ways, he will give us the !dem, the patriotism, and the blissful re t. That he will do so is a happy thought . which to commence the new year. We would, hoWever, speak cautiously. the demon of discord should be let loose 4 , us, we may yet fail before oar foe. d the Confederacy is able still to offer a y tempting price to secure the ()Opera of France and Spain, and the continued (trality and Indirect favors of England. If we shall become boastful before God, and cruel toward oar enemy-,- and exacting be yond reason, God may turn` against us, and give us up to dissentions, and raise np help ers to the enfeebled. 'He loves righteous. ness. Let us so love it as to aim only at righteous ends, and thereto use only right •eous means. State Rights. The States have rights—rights which are precious—rights which they never sur rendered, and which they ought not to sur render. But a separate independence is not one of those rights. Neither is Seces sion one - of those rights. Mr. Croswell, of New-York, formerly the editor of the Al bany Argus, a leading Democratic journal, and a zealous champion of State Rights, is quoted as expressing himself thus : " It is among the errors of these disas trous times, that many superficial politi cians, and some fair-minded persons, con sider Secession the legitimate offspring of the State Rights principle. In my judg ment the State Rights doctrine consists in the maintenance, as Mr. Jefferson said, of the rights of the States in all their orig nal vigor' under the Constitution, not of an imaginary Sovereignty, in defiant* or violation of that instrument This was the doctrine of Jefferson, John Taylor of Carolina, and the authors of the Virginia and Kentucky resolutions in 1798. It im plies the defence and vindication of the Constitutional rights of the States against the tendency to encroachment by the Fed eral power, and any tendency of either to consolidation, and by no means to sanction that violation of Constitutional rights of the State and National Governments which is the essence of Secessionism. That dog ma is the antagonism of the State Rights doctrine. It is a libel on that doctrine to consider them synonyms. Secession is the overthrow of the Constitution. "For a series of years prior to this civil war, the South had much cause of com plaint, but none for rebe/lion, for such I must characterize their treasonable course. In all the annals of .the world, a more causeless rebellion never darkened the page of history. While, therefore, we would vindicate the Constitution, maintain the rights of the States, and correct the abus es of Government, it is the incumbent duty of every loyal citizen to sustain the Con stitutional arm of Government in all its efforts to restore and treserve the integrity of the Union. " I *m, very truly, your obedient servant, "EDWIN CROSWELL." Disappointed. Mr. Memminger, the Secretary of the Confederate Treasury, in his annual report says: " At the commencement of the war no one foresaw the extent to which it would be carried. It was not expected that we would be called upon to check the advance of half a million of men, supported by the whole outer world, while we were shut in to our own soil and resources. Our pro ducts were thought essential to the rest of mankind, and it was believed that they would come and buy them." ' No strange thing happened to Mr. Mom minger and his friends, in the utter failure of their expectatOns. They set out 'on a wild project, and they reasoned on false assumptions, and inconclusively. If vris dom should return, they will lay down the weapons of their rebellion. itutral Seta. The Eclectic Magazine. The.

The only son of a devoted Presbyterian minister, he was of course the sub ject of much pious care and of many prayers, which we now trust, by the bletsing of God, re sulted in his conversion. At the beginning of the war he wasin feeble health, yet he resigned a civil office to enter the army, where at once he was elected Lieutenant, and afterwards was pro moted to the captaincy of the first Company that went from Union Couney to the army. He fought bravely at Carnifex and Shiloh, but his health still failing, he resigned about a year ago. Three years ago, during a season of religious interest, he expressed himself to his pastor as deeply concerned for his soul, 'and "at• different times ebee gave his testimony privately to his faith in Christ, though he made no public pro fession. On . his deathbed he expressed regret that he had been so reserved; whilst he - had for three years been trying to live the life of S Chris: tiara. During this period he lost no time it at tending church or prayer-meeting. Whilst at home and in the army, wherever he went he in quired for Presbyterians; and they were not to be found, he'sought the society of other Chris . tians.
