The plan upon which the [State designs supplying
Iter .soldiers with all necessary clothing, is based upon
Lheir willingness to surrender to the State the amount
money appropriated by the Confederate Govern,
meat for this purpose, say forty-two ($12) per annum

[lie greatly advanced cost of material. It is in view

voluntary contributions of labor and materials, wiil

'8'in; Two AniiiOK?A:i View.
The Northern States are pouring battalion
after battalion into the Federal caj?ital, while
it is said that even these incessant reinforcements
still leave the army under McClellan
inferior in numbers to that of the enemy.
The magnitude of the forces, either actually
under arms, or shortly to be raised, is almost
incredible. After the abatements demandc I
by the exaggerations of the American journals,
the residue of probable truth, as computed bv
our special correspondent, is enough to astound
us. None of the regular armies of Europe
make any approach to the scale of the levies,
all of which, he it observed, arc for active and
immediate service. The aggreato population
ot the States adhering to the Union is very
nearly that of (beat J>ritain, the advantage
being rather on our side. Out of our popula
tion we maintain an armv?considered a large
one?of some 2d0,000 men, being in the
proportion of about one soldier to every hundred
inhabitants.
The Northern States, from an equivalent
population, have placed doO/tOM troops in the
tield, are on the point of increasing these numbers
to "i-OO-OOO- Mild could ill llio ni.iiii/iK of
- ? -7 ? -..V/ "["...VII V.
our correspondent on the spot, raise at least
one million " without any remarkable pressure."'
The population of the South is about
0,000,000, but from this narrate must be deducted
3,o0o,ooo on aeeonut of the slaves,
who do not bear arms. This loaves 000,000
to be drawn upon for ihe supply of the army,
and we are assured that from this population ?
a population less than that of Ireland?the
Confnfi rate (ion n> men ( can ma in In in a force
of 000,000 lmn. This wouhl be one soldier to
every ten inhabitants of the country?a jo-o
portion never rtoch>d before.
America, in all its groat centres of population,
is one vast camp. A democratic republic,
with a standing army of less than 15,000
men, has been transformed in the spaee of a
few short months into something very like a
despotism, atapiiiing more and more of a military
character day after day. France, under
the first empire, was not more, completely
merged in its army than the Northern half of
the Union is at the present moment. The
Unionists have neither been disheartened by
defeat nor disconcerted by delay.
The war fever has spread till all classes
are embraced by the contagion. Soldiers are
everything, and everybody is a soldier. No
party, or section of a party, adventures to talk
of peace. The only kind of business thriving
is that springing out of the war. Army contractors,
luaufacturers of warlike implements
and purveyors of military stores, are driving a
prodigious trade, but all other peaceful pursuits
are either languishing or suspended. Excepting
in the remoter States, there is little
actual lighting, but drilling serves for excitement
and occupation till the collision occurs.
The two sections of the Union arc creating
their armies before marching out to battle.
The absence of a standing force has not proved
the least preservative against war. \\ hat
other countries kept ready made the Americans
arc now making as fast as they can on
an enormous scale, at an extravagant outlay,
and for the most terrible of combats.

of a Into date :
The (Tinolinas ot' Matamoras are making
strenuous efforts to protect the city Iroin the
approaching liojos, by batteries and barricades.
The f'rof/trsxista of the 12th, announces that
the black Hag waves over the town at present,
and that under its sombre folds the Crinolines
intend to fight, without asking or giving quarter.
All the people arc at the fortifications
working with might and main.
General Guadalupe Garcia is said to be on
the march from Tampico to Matamoras, with
11is cavalry, three rilled cannon and 400 infant
ry. (Jen. Carabejal is said to be outside of
the city of Matamoras, at the distance of a
day's march, with 000 to 2000 men, and heavy
artillery in proportion.
Jiv a private letter from Monterey, under
date of November 11, we learn that President
Juarez lias made a demand upon (Jen. Vidaurri,
of Nuevo Leon, for the delivery of
< ?en. Comontort to the authorities in the city of
Mexico, and that (Jen. Yidaurri had refused to
deliver Comonfort up. Comonfort has pub-lished
a manifesto, declaring his intention to
remain in tlio country, despite " iny lord cardinal"
lienito Juarez. The matter threatens
a dilKculty, if Juarez had any force, but he is
at present shut up in the city of Mexico, surrounded
by Marquez, Moja, Xuloaga and Cajilgas.
If he sustains himself at homo he will
do well.

Governor Letcher, in his recent able Message,
says :
1 avail myself of this, the first opportunity
that has presented itself, to return my cordial
thanks, individual and official, to his Excellency
1\ \Y. Lichens, Governor of the State of
South Carolina, for his promptitude in sending
troops to our aid immediately after the passage
of the Ordinance of Secession?tor the deep
interest, he has uniformly exhibited in our be
half, ami for his generous and ready responseto
every request 1 have preferred, lie was
the lirst Executive who proffered us aid andand
support, and hence the propriety of this
rclerenec to him. * * * *
Very recently 1 have furnished one thousand
muskets to South Carolina, and some heavy
guns and five hundred muskets to North Carolina.
The Confederate and State authorities
have worked together for the advancement of
a cause common to both, and the success of '
which can only be secured by united counselsand
concerted action.
