RECOVERY OF A LOST Doa--An inhabitant of
one of the adjacent towns having lost valuable
dog, and having reason to suppose that il was in
the house of a certain party, forced the door and
whstled, when the lost animal came FORTH and was
thus recovered. The occupant of the house
makes a complaint criminally against the owner of
the dog for house breaking, on which he
rested this morning. The question that will arise
is whether the man justified in resorting to 30
much force to recover his lost property.

MILITARY STRENGTH OF THE UNITED STATES
The statistics of the military forces and resources
of the several nations of Europe, which have lately
appeared, present formidable warlike aggregate,
but for all the purposes of defensive and offensive
warfare they exhibit nothing equal TO the internal
military strength of the United States. In the city
of New York alone there one hundred and
sixty eight volunteer companies, numbering on an
average sixty men each, which give total of ten
thousand and eight fighting men equipped and al
most fully disciplined This large body of men
arc subject to no military rules regulations,
benefit. A proportionate force of artillery and
dragons also exist, and which, when added to the
former, give the nucleus of the military power of
the city, but if necessity required it, the city of
New York in ono week could raise and equip an
army of one hundred thousand men. Such are the
military resources of one single city in the Union
On referring to the Army Register (officiaD of
1850 we find the actual organized militia force of
the United States set down in the aggregate at
million nine hundred and sixty thousand two hun
dred and sixty five men, with report from Iowa,
California, or the Territories. The total militia
force of the Union may, therefore, be safely set
down at two millions OF men. There is an inherent
military spirit in the American, and love OF mill
tary glory strong in the Frenchman, COM
bined with the most practical character In the
world. His average height is two or three inches
taller and he is vigorous and athletic, and in
every sense more of the man on the average, than
the European. He is from his youth accustomed
to the of arms, in field sports and target prac
tice; in fact, detachment of our militia infantry
is detachment of sharpshooters.-N. Y. Express.
