This intention ia manifested and avowed by the very fact of go ing to foreign cpnsula, and -professing themstlvei subjects of foreiirn powers. For' this claim of a foreign citizenship implies and rests upon the animus revertendi, as writera on international law term it the constant intention to return to their own respective countries . and there abide. It would be diQcult, but very interesting and not a little startling, td estimate how large a proportion of our national' wealth is thus actually making, to itself wings to fly across the Atlantic Daring this war, the foreign population iaa aponge which ia conatantly sucking in gold to be one day squeeze ed out over Europe it is a cloud forming con stantly over our heads, which' drinks in the juice and sap of the land, and then spreads its black wings eastward, to rain down in London or dissi pate in Paris. We say gold) for every dollar of Confederate bonds which they buy hero, they ex peel to convert into gold; and they are right. We and our children will be payjng that whole debt ope day in gold; and thus, after the war, by the process above described (as well. as by others not now adverted lo) the Confederacy! will be a lemon in the jaws of a lemon-presser. . The foreigners have, then, at least as deep a material and financial interest for we have no right to expect they will acknowledge a .bigimr and dearer Interest in defending the indepen -dehce ofthe country and the credit of its govern-' men t, as the citizens themselves. Why should' they not discbarge that duly ? Why should they no be compelled to discharge it ? One objection which has been made against subjecting aliena to our conscription is that they are often ski. led ar tisans, who do for the Confederate cause more In dispensable Bervice in the factory of the work shop than they could perform in the field. Trades, it is said, must be carried on in. the towns, as well as marches and charges and biviouaca on the iron tier; and. the labor and enterprise of. these Lforeign people provide many supplies which are needed much, and which otherwise we should have to do without. This is true; but foreigners are not the only persons who know useful trades; . .i ! us meu jorcea into, tne army who were practising all aorta of trades with akill and intelligence; why ahould their place be lfft empty, that it should be occupied by strangers ? ii certara numbers oi persons roust be exempt, in oraer mat iney may carry on useiu: occupauons why ahould alf, the foreigners be placed on this favored list? If there be, there certainly are, some for eign artizana amongst, us, whoe services are real ly indispensable to the Government, in their aev erai trades, tney caq do detailed witnout any in convenience; and the. bill before Congress, if paia- ed, will doubtless contain a provision to that effect. ' Another objection Which has been urged, ia that unwilling foreigners torced into our rank, would not fight as our own people do, and might even tend to demoralize better men. They have not the same lofty motive to inspire them, not the same profound passion to sway them, not. the Same appealing voic9 of a dear home and country ringing in their ears by night and day; not the same fierce hatred of the base Yankee foe to nerve their arms and fire their hearts. AH true; but not valid as an objection to laking their services. Men are after all considerablyan the nature of machine. Give the material to a good machinist in that kind and he will make it go. Morale is much, but not all.
