They have an immense army, and three or four millions ofnegroes to plant for it and feed it. Hundreds of thousands of acres ofgood corn-land are waving in the hot breezes of Dixie. These are factsof the strongest kind--so strong that we have actually been compelled toadopt some few of the 'radical and ruinous' measures advocated from thebeginning by 'an insane and fanatical band of traitors, ' for whose bloodthe New-York _Herald_ and its weakly ape, the Boston _Courier_, have notyet ceased to h...owl or chatter. Negroes, it seems, are, after all, to beemployed sometimes, and all the work is not to be put upon soldiers who, as the correspondent of the London _Times_ has truly said, have endureddisasters and sufferings caused by unpardonable neglect, such as _no_European troops would have borne without revolt. It is even thought bysome hardy and very desperate 'radicals, ' that negroes may be armed andmade to fight for the Union; in fact, it is quite possible that, shouldthe North succeed in resisting the South a year or two longer, or shouldwe undergo a few more _very_ great disasters, we may go so far as tobelieve what a great French writer has declared in a work on MilitaryArt, that 'War is war, and he wages it best who injures his enemy most.
