Our WAR FoRcEs.-It is estimated that the
United States Government has now in the
field an army of 512.O meu, all armed and
equipped and disciplined.
The total now 10 arms under the stars and
stripes is equal to that Of the French army !;
aud if the rebels have 100000 men under arms.
the aggregate on both sides is 100000. No
nation in Europe has such an army. in case Of
war, except Russia. Under the first French
republic, when the frenzy impeled the rulers
to the levy en- nnasse, there was greater army
raised. but in our case no such levy has been
resorted to. The enlistment has been purely
voluntary.
