Named Entity Results, DeBow

The fighting strength of the Confederacy. --Mr. DeBow, editor of Debow's Device, has made a calculation of the fighting population of our country. He makes a very fair deduction for our losses in consequence of the position of Maryland, Kentucky, Missouri, and portions of Virginia, Tennessee, Louisiana, and Arkansas. He theDebow's Device, has made a calculation of the fighting population of our country. He makes a very fair deduction for our losses in consequence of the position of Maryland, Kentucky, Missouri, and portions of Virginia, Tennessee, Louisiana, and Arkansas. He then shows that our male population between the ages of 18 and 45 amounts to 1,181,500. Deducting one-fourth for exempts, (a very large allowance,) we have $80,100 men. We have lost many men in the war; but the natural flow of our population has gone far to replace them. During the two years of hostilities not less than 120,000 maleing the two years of hostilities not less than 120,000 males have passed from under to over 18 years of age. Mr. DeBow estimates, from these figures, that "in no event during a long war can the Confederate strength be reduced under 700,000 men, if the people are in earnest." This is an army ample for all our possible necessities.
