Eleven Months.
The Chicago Tribune says -


ave are bile to announce, on unquestionable
authority, that Gen. Scott has so Tar matured
the plans for the war as to inform the Presi-
dent aud the Cabinet that the last SeceSsi on
flag shall be torn down, the authority of the
American Government reins tated on every
foot Of American soil, and JEFF. Davis hung or
driven out of the country, within eleven
months from the day when Fort Sumter was
surrendered. About the 4th of March next,
he Will hand over the Union, safe and sound,

Gigantic Military Preparations of France.
The London Times has long article on
this subject, in which the old bug-bear of
French invasion is dressed up in toggery that
seems none the worse for wear, but which has
done service so often in similar capacity that
we should think the most eXcitable Of the
Tribulation Trepid school would perSistently
refuse to be moved again from his equanimi-
ty The Times states that whilst France fears
| no invasion and has the corlpactest territory
in the world, she has an efficient military
power OF four hundred thousand men, being
ii hundredth of her whole pOpulation-one out
/ of every sixteen able bodied men. The French
cavalry numbers 76 1903 its artillery 37,S73 :;
| its train 5,6jj its administrative services
| S,731; its horses Satisfactorily, says the
Times, locomottre army. What can France
! want with 90 many horses? Is it for merely
defensive force-so gigantic, so handy, so
terrible-that France is now paying, in money
and in forced labor, twcnty-four millions a
/ year. France is now in the very state SIZE
was IN thirty months ago, when she poured her
/ legions over mountain and sea, and drove a
/ great empire and friendly State out of an
ancient appenage. Thus speaks the Times
and the explanation may probably soon be
given uron the plains Of Italy. The death o.
/ CAvouR may render necessary the intervention
of the same friendly hand which not lon2
ago rescued Italy from Austri despotism
and which may naturally desire to reap th'
reward Of its labors.
So far as the enteate cordia}e between Eng
land and France is concerned, we have no ap
prehension that it is likely to be soon dis
tnrbed. The alliance is of too great mutua
importance and benefit to be readily sacrificed
Nevertheless, the periodical warnings of tn,
Times are valuable in keeping up the prepare
ton for war which is the best means of avoid
lug it.

sensible Views.

The Charlottesville correspondent Of the
Charleston Courier, who met Coy. WISE on
his way to the West, says he was struck with
an observation made by that gentleman upon
the best mode of dealing with undisciplned
volunteers, yet skilled as marksmen, such as
he will have chiefly TO rely on in his opera
tons. He said great mischief would result
from making them think they could do moth
ing without drill, when there was no time to
drill them thoroughly. He desired just to got
them organized, so as to prevent confusion,
and then he would tell them he wanted them
always to go where they were told to, and
stand fast till they were hidden to move, and
that it woul! make very little difference
whether they could shoulder arms according
to rule. provided they could shoot at man
and hit him. With few disciplined soldiers
to support them, he viii make these mountain
men light to some purpose. He was talking,
also, about the notion which is becoming so
common, that man can do nothing without
the modern improved weapons. And it does
seem pity that people should be falling into
this error, however natural. There is very
little really accomplished by shooting with
small arms at long range, especially in regu-
lar battles besides that man must have had
much practice with these weapons in order to
do anything with them. 1t is cannon that do
the work at q distance. In shooting at short
range an old fashioned rifle or musket, par
ticuIarly when man is only used to that, may
be much better than the new fashioned. And
when it comes to the bayonet, there is nothing
that supports il so well as a good heavy
musket.
We trust our Kentucky friend; will follow
the wise counseis Of Gov. WISE. Surely they
need no better weapons to encounter the in
mates of Ohio styes than those with which
they clay the nobler game Of the forest. Be
sides, Louis NAPOLEON showed in his Italian
campaign that more than ever since the in
vention OF improved small arms, battles are
to be decided by artillery and the bayonet.

JOHN NITCHEL ON THE WAR.-John Mitchell
writes from Paris TO the New York Irish
News as follows:
You are right in sympathizing with the
South. The South has not thrown on the
shacklas OF the Union one hour too soon. She
has not been the aggressor, but has suffered
much and long from the greedy, commercial,
altogether British commercial, and industrial
system forced upon her by the North. Her
cause is lust cause her lnstitu tons are safe,
and sound, and benefiCant and am happy
to say that the Irish citizens of the Southern
States are standing Loyalty with their adopted

their zeal IN volunteering upon any service

I.tucoIn,s War Message.

II is reported that ABRAHAM LINCOLN, in
hi. forthcoming message to Congress, will re-
commend that FIVE hundred thousand men be
raised at once, and two hundred millions bor-
rowed, TO carry on the war. This would be a
larger army than France, with double the
population OF the United States, possesses at
this moment, when il il believed that she is
preparing for n European war. Ia proportion
to population, Louis NAPOLEON would have to
raise an army Of a million to put the French
Empire on military equality with the mag
nifcent programme Of ABRAHAM LINCOLN
The London Times complains that it is pOr
tentous of war in Europe, when NAPOLEON has
at his back an army Of four hundred thousand
men, which, It says, is one to every one hun
dred of the whole population, or one out OF
sixteen, able bodied men. To raise 1--WE nun

The Clay !Status-We have been informed

whom the statue has been entrusted for safe

how they will set about it, unless they erect
