official labors in behalf of the Church in this western region. Although my relations with the clergy will be those of courtesy instead of canonical obligation, I am sure no practical inconvenience will be experienced. I trust that you will approve of the determination thus announced, although in arriving at it I had not the benefit of your advice. It is proper to add that I have not received, nor do I feel at liberty to receive, any salary from the Board of Missions since the 1st of April last, a period anterior to the secession of Arkansas. I remain, with sincere regard, Your friend, and brother, Henry C. Lay. Fort Smite, Ark, July 26, 1861 To the Dr. Rev. T. C. Browebll, D.

w the regulation standard. The adoption of this measure will decrease the number of officers, and proportionably diminish the expenses of the Army. It is said of Napoleon by Jomini that, in the campaign of 1815, that great General on the 1st of April had a regular army of 200,000 men. On the 1st of June he had increased this force to 414,000 men. The like proportion. adds Jomini, "had he thought proper to inaugurate a vast system of defence, would have raised it to 200,000 men by the 1st re line of miles, with an interring boundary line of 7,237 miles in length. This conspiracy stripped us of arms and munitions and our navy to the most distant quarters of the globe.

resources of all kinds, by curing us of that rashness which our continued successes had begotten,--and, most of all, by stimulating enlistments, and thus increasing the numbers and efficiency of our armies. It is now almost certain, that by the 1st of April we shall have a larger disposable force in the field than that of our enemies; for they must retain two hundred thousand men in Maryland to guard and retain that State and the City of Washington, a hundred thousand in Kentucky and Missouri ty quit its wooden walls ere long and march far into our interior. Then we will make prisoners of their armies, and gloriously and triumphantly wind up the war. Let faint-hearted people recollect that we never yet met them with equal numbers in the open field without defeating them, and that under the levy en masse which is now going on in the South, if they invade us by land after the 1st of April, we will meet them with superior numbers.--Our bad roads will prevent their invading us sooner.

bly no one thing in the world which grows so universally as cotton. Europe, therefore, was willing to take advantage of the crisis to enfranchise herself from our away at any cost, but she has found the ordeal too severe. India cotton is too dear, and the whole machinery of their immense manufactories would have to be changed to suit the stipple. Orleans middling has been found by experience to be the only thing that will exactly do, and the supply of that will be exhausted by the 1st of April. Then, when a starving population rise around their thrones, with the words "cotton or blood," the blockade will be raised. Here Mr. Yancey was asked by a gentleman, whether Mr. Seward's promise to open a cotton port had not had great weight? Mr. Yancey replied, emphatically, no. They did not believe one word he said. They believed the Yankees to be a nation of mendacious liars, [applause and laughter.] It was impossible now, in Europe, to get at the truth of things over here. Fat
