Extending the Conscription.

The recommendation of the Secretary of War and the measures proposed in Congress to extend the term of the Conscription from thirty-five to forty-five years, will give the Confederacy an army large enough to meet the emergencies of the country without sacrificing other interests, which are as important as a large and unwieldy mass of men. The six hundred thousand called for by Lincoln will be only a Persian army, which will be overbalanced by its own weight. We rejoice to see the blended energy and discretion which govern our own councils.
