Dec 30 97 6t A T A MESTING OF THE COiljIlSSlO'irRS, to • RESOURCES OF THE CONFEDBRATE STATES, Fron the Richmond Diapatch. Two remarkable articles, upon the “Physical Resources of the Confederacy” and “The Sitoa- tioB, Past and Present,” were published, several days since, in.the Kichffond Whig. As they seem to be ths resalt of profound study, and are v^ry encouraging, we propose to give a summary of tneir contents, having no room to publish them in exfenso. The belief has bcon very widely entertained fhat the arme-bearing population oi the Confede racy is exhausfcod. This boUef—common to us and the yankees, has had the effect of depressing OOT '-tuple and 'stiaiuiatLiu; tJxa ya£.kees». utte.ly erroneous. u«vcnii,l*, oi are coiCposed eziat wevad os in soittciost dance not only to Keep up our force to its present standard, but to enlarge it beyond what it has over been. This is proved by aompariug data derived from the statistics afforded by the cem^us ot I860, with an estimate of losses and diminu tion of resources sufficiently large to cover all decreat^e in tho supply oi arms beariog mea. For example: The white loale population of all the Confede racy, leaving out Keutacky and .Mipsouri, .was, in 1860, a tmcdcn less tLaa 2,800,000. Of this male popu'ur,oti, a irac^icc ’rs3 tt.r i 1,^00,000 were butwt^iD me ages of 17 and 50. The per- aons who have arrived at the age of 17 aiuce 1860 are co jiputed as a iraciion above 330,000 —a moderate computatiou we think. Add these numbers together, and we have, in round num bers, 1,630,000 fighting men. Allowing 200,000 for tae average natural mortality oi four years, and we still iiave 1,430,000. But a great deal of the Confederacy is in the hands of the enemy. It id computed that this occupation deprives us of 340.000 men (in round numbers) between the ages of 17 and 50 These are to be deducted, and they leave lj090,000—say, in round numbers, 1,100.000 ■ If these are underestimates, they may be supplied by troops fvom Missouri, Ken tucky and Maryland, and reff'.gcea from those portions of the other S^^ttes uoder yankee domi- uution. A farther deduction must be made for the oasoalcies that have resulted eitder in death or disability. Tnis is done by estimating the losses in Gcu. Lee’s uiuiy for the last year. Patting it at S5,000—which ii greatly above the truth— and allowing 5,000 for dead and 5,000 for per manently di.-.abl3d, we have 10,000 for that army. Making che same ailowauce ilir the Army of Tennessee, we have 20,000 for the two armies. is fair to make the same allowance for all the r%t of the forces, so that che entire disabling casualties amonnt to 30,00i). To these add 50 per 03nt. for mortality peculiar to campe-~45,000. The whole loss then may be computed at 75,000 men fur this year. But it has been much heavier tills j^car than it was during tne other thre^ years of t;io war. It is fair to sajr *!»•• i» xsox, when there was little figating, the loss was 30,000; in 1862 and 1863, 60,000 each—so that the whole loss from diseasa and battle has been 225,000. Add to cnis 50,000 for prisoners Total, 275,000. Taka this from 1,100,000, and we have 8'i5,000. Allowing 100,000 tor exempts and details, snd there is scill a fighting population of 726,000 men! Allowing one out of every three for details, aad we still have 4S0,000 men; joiore thantUe yankees ever had, and enough, if •.‘mbodied, to drive every yankoe out of the coun try ia three months, aiid keep them out We have not followed the numbers vf our author ful> ly, beoaus3 ne aims at exactness, while we uae oxUy round numbers. 8uoh we believe to be very nearly a true state* ment. There can be but one thing wanted to secure undoubted success.
