The Richmond Sentinel, in an editorial on 4< the supply of m- n,” presenis the following fuels in the form of tig urea, touching the resources in men of the Lincoln Oorerntnenl ! The population of Mr. Lincoln's dominions, the territories excepted, is rather under twenty mil- Roas. figures aa to ages anil sex; but it can bn approx* lmated. Halt ate Id bn deducted for females. Let ns sup. 030 tho males under IS and abore 45, to make up two thirds of the remainder. Tbis would learn of females, between the prescribed ages, a little over ibree millions. This is, indeed, what the New York Herald claimed. Os these three millions who could number tire multitude of exempts? Exempts because of bodily iulirmi* ty; exempts bernuH' of non-citizsnship. Who can tell how many will iun away to avoid the war ; bow nanny will evade it lu a hundred dll fereutwayg; how many will pay the paltry price of exemption? We should nol think it wonder ful if the three millions were to dwindle to one half under these various cilcmnstanees. Bat Lincoln has already called out, under his various proclamations, thirteen hundred thou sand men. How many has hs behind that he can count upon ? The most warlike are already in the field, an, Bren they are excessively weary, and have deserted in large numbers. The tbfr (eon hundred thousand have molied away before th» nfl“3 of Ihs Confedrate", and the various wastages of war, until probably there are not l oir hundred thousand mea under arms th's day. V. ; ,rlv a milhoa of '.bo ,e who enlisted are hra d* C,wl'ait. We do not believe that L’r.co'n will be able to add threo hundred fresh elleclives to his army. He has ahead r drawn too near to the limit of his re.’OOTceS,as to lighting men. A state of feeling exists among bis people which will greatly inter, le-e. wi'h the op rati ns of his draft. He cannot, i hv a great deal, draw out his full, effective 1 strength. Wh it measure of success he may he ihlc to ic’nieve w 11 itself require large detuiis from his army. It will require many of hi* good soldiers to coerce and to guard the reluctants. In short, we lli'uk the facts warrant Ihc belief, that Lincoln has done bin worst, and tLat his fu ture efforts must bo weaker than his past. It is folly to say that his resources are untouched. Ho far as machine shops are concerned, that is true; hot with respect to men, be has not only sacrificed Ins best, but nearly used up Ihe supply. There are some figures, in the National Alma mo for I=o'.". which throw further light on ihe matter of our inquiry, and present it in a still more favorable vi*w.' The statistics from Rhode 1,-and Connecticut, New York, and Minnesota, <■h-.iv a’ militia foroe of 504,744, in a population of 4 .pu 357. Observing the same ratio, the militia force of the Lincoln State* would be 2,587,498. instead of .hreo millions, as w* assumed in our »9titrm>e above.

Tits Latb Raio — A correspondent of the Pe tersburg Express, writing-from Jackson, N. C., the 11 th isst., gives thfuollowing particulars connected with the mid on Weldon : •‘This narrative would be very incomplete with om relating some of the many deeds of barbarism done by theeuemy. The ba ling of the Weldon bridge seemed to be the pri*ae object of the raid. Theft, arson and ■ ape the secondary object. I will venture the assertion that not one householder on the road troci Winton to Boon’s Mill, u distance of thiity.-ifnur tnih*H escaped being robbed by these barbarians. They robbed all classes—tbe rich and poor—the white and the black. Horses and mules, money, watches, jew elry of all sorts, silver plate, brandy and whiskey, bacon, and ail kinds of food seemed to be coveted bv them more than aught else. White men and negroes were robbed of their watches and clothes from ot! their persons. Mr. Samuel Calvert and Mr. Win. J. I>t-akinß sustained greater losses than anybody else in Jackson. Ii has bieu reported in ihe newspapers that they took six thousand dollars of Government funds from Mr. James W. News urn, an! three thousand dollars from Captain S. J. Calvert. This m not so. Our Government lost not a dollar. They bttrirod Mr. Djrsey Deloatch’s mill, for jrktoh li« had recoil(ly paid * <ur thousand dollar*; took alt ol his horses ami tuples, iita.iy Q ll M * » bacon, and evi-ry negro 1m had, (about fifteen in all,) except iliree that were hired out on a ru:i road. But 1 am happy to say they took with them but very few negroes from Northampton* Many of them told the negroes they had better remain with their masters. From one citixeu they stole his tooth brush, the tooth brush of his child and bis wife’s prayer book. Who but a tilth rand infidel Abolitionist would steal a second han<i tooth brush und a prayer book? Th - ir treatment to negro women ought to he known to the outside world, and espcciutly to the negro worshippers of the North and Exeter Hall. To tho* writer’s own knowledge, they ravished ten negro women in hi* neighborhood. Homo ot them they ravished most inhumanly, indecently and publicly. In three instances they drove ne gro uieu from their own houses with the sw>rd and ravished their wiv«‘H. Iu this connection I could (but will notj relate a fact, so horrible and unnaturul, that it would challenge the credulity of the world. Col. Oruiodnnk and about seven hundred ol the enemy never went nearer to the battle lAdd than Juckson. Our citizens believe that Gen. Spears commanded the lighting mou.and Col.

The cry of peace, raised at this juncture, means treason, find noth ing else. The “Tithing-man ” trouble seems to bo over in North Carolina, and everybody is very well pleased. The uew appoiulep is praised on ull sides. The Standard says: We learn that the Secretary of War has ap pointed John Devereux, Esq., of this city, chief Tithmg-man for tins State id place of Maj. Brad ford, removed. Devereux is a native of the State—a gentleman of intelligence and business habits, and will no doubt perform tho duties of the office as acceptably as any one who could The State Journal remarks . Major Doveieux is a most capital appointment, lie is thoroughly identified with the cause of the South, and is a geutltmau of first rate business qualifications. We question if a better selection could have been made. According to u recent market report at Fayette vi He, N.

Fioyd, whilst passing through that city on hi.* retreat from Middle Tennessee in 1862, is reported to have said that ten thousand men could hold 1 the country from ‘Bridgeport to Chattanooga uguinst eighty thousand. .Similar opinions have been expressed by the rißst experienced engineers in the army. i. This is at present G<% Bragg’s line of defence. Ilia base is supported by the rich and grain grow ing Btalesof Alabama aid Georgia; the location 1 is one ot the healthiest fa the western continent; his commissariat is said to be ample, he has an army of veteran soldidr& and the ftHsls*»«»*«» u.- , ablest Generals in the Confederacy. His adver sary, in order to attack him, must leave his base some three hundred and .fifty miles in his rear, cross, first, a plain ofl5) miles, made desolate by the two contending ur&iies in the early spring ; then a succession oT black-jack ridges, producing nothing but gooee berries and persimmons , then the Cumberland chain •( mountains; then “WaU leu's Ridge,” an elevation encircling the whole district ot East Tennessee, but not sufficiently near Chattanooga to be used advantageously by u besieging army; and then, in the last place, a deep and brood river presents itself as a barrier. Such being the “gitnation” we have no fears from the army of Gen. Rosecrar*. If East Tennessee is not held under so many advantageous cironm stances, somebody will be terribly to blame. Sun. A correspondent of the Mobile Advertiser says: aiy own impression is very decided that a grand campaign against EuSt Tennessee !s iLc object now sought by the enemy below us. The heart of our railroad interest Ihe seat of local Union ism, J*nd a back doo- to Richmond, it ofliers the most tempting lure since the fail of Vicksburg. Gen. Bragg is decidedly of this opinion. The only thing which will retard their movements is the possible change of commanders, which is ru* inured. It is said that Grant succeeds Kosecrans. who goes to the East: 1 think: this is so. A few days will determine. Geo, Bragg is convalescent. George Wm. Brent resumed, the other day, bis old position as Adjutant General, Col. Walter re entering the Judge Advocate's ocrtice. It, is reported here that Hon. A. O. P. Nichol son, and other prominent citizens of Columbia, Tens., are in prison. • The editor of the Confederate alluding to Gen. Bragg, says : We hear much n,ore of Gob. Bragg’s unpopn | larity away from his Army, than in it. Indeed. : we have heard it hero, and am inclined to regard it as, for the most part, a myth—the creation of ihe morbid fhnev of sufferers from his excellent discipline. A soldier by our side says, “ThaPr so—his soldiers, generally, liko him, aud would not exchange him for anybody. Mvhoan’s Men*.—We learn from Adjutant Cun- Qir.giiain, that a number of Morgan’s men have recently Reaped through the Yankee lines, Ironi Ohio, spelling the force that succeeded in mak / ing the 44 through trip,” to fully six hundred. . j They are encamped near Morrisinwo, Tennessee.

The tiriug on Monday night had been slow, buti&riy in the morning the bombardment was renewed with not lets lury than was exhibited on the previou day. Three monitors and the ironsides assaulted Battery YVugner, throwing ai the same time, from their pooiron on the other side of Cuniniing’s Point, an ocaasional sliell at Fort Sumter. This continued till ten o’clr ck, at which courthe fl *et ceased its tire aud drew ctl for a while. Iu the meinwliile, the land batteries of the enemy, made up of Avh Parrott and two lighter giu h, were directing their shots at Sumter. They opened tire about 6 A. M., and kept pounding away for the remainder of the day. Tbcir fire, however, though heavier, perhaps, by ft gun or two, was less continuous aud less accurate th in on Monday, owing, we have it upon unquestion able authority, to the fact that they were much aud seriously embarrassed in their operations by our batteries upon James island. Between two and three o’clock, P. M , a single monitor engaged Fort Wagner, and was driven off iu a disabled condition. That obtainste fort is as Strong as ever; aud tho brave officer at pie sent in command, Col Kent,declares that he tvill hold it as long as there is a hillock of saud upou the island.

FROM HITVrSVHXK-YA!VRIcB» ORAFTLVO THIS AEUItOKH. A letterfrom Huntsville, Jutjr 20tl», says: •• We have had a distressing time, but not so bad us it might have been. Sunday, the 10th, was h dreadful day. Negroes were hunted for the avowed nirpdse, as t was told, of putting them in the army. They were forced to drill. In the eve meg one of Mr. Archie McDonnell's ran in our yard for protection, f saw the pout fellow driven between two soldier:: out of our gate. The ser vants say that they had a pistol drawn before be would go. f made »n appenl to them They appeared to feel it, hut s:tid their orders were to take all able bodied men.” Advantage was taken of the negroes, while at their houses of worship..which were surrounded and the negroes carried off, willing or unwilling. H'.me appeared to go unwillingly, while many went with apparent joy. They carried off 10 ne -jrrres and all the horses anti mules belonging to Caption Martin and Frmik Martin,'* of«Jatue* 1!. and G. L. Martin's, 14 or J. J. Donegnn’s, 1 of Gov. Clay's negro women, and ail his horses and mules—his men hid themselves and escaped; all of George P. Beiroe’s men, Hut nil escaped and returned. Nearly every owner suffered some loss of slaves, but we cannot give further partic* nlars. From time to time, stolen negroes were returning, and, it is hoped, many more will do so, when opportunity offers. The” Female Semi« nary was used as a negro prison, some 200 being kept there and about 600 horses in the yard. The most of the negroes taken were men, but the families of t lff uenco were, in some instances, so robbed of female servants that the unstresses were compelled to take their places in the house anti kitchen.—: Confederal*.
