of an army of men in the to understand tbe proportions which tbe naval and military appliances of onr Government have that we may justly be asked to make some allowance for the prevalent skepticism among the compromise In the experience of a large class of the case is similar to that of at- tempting to gauge the capacity or sure the agility of Youth by the standard which applies to the incipient
