An Old Alarm Revived.

The London Times revives its old alarm
of French invasion. In its issue of May
%, it publishes a review of the army of
France, comparing it with that of England.
Undeniably the superiority of one over the
other is most striking. The total of the
French army in France and Algeria is four
hundred thousand men, against two hun.
dred and twelve thousand seven hundred
and seventy three men in the English army,
including England, her colonies and India !;
or one hundred and forty six thousand if
India is omitted and England and the colo
MES only counted. The French army has
also eighty five thousand seven hundred and
five horses, while the English army in Eng
land and the colonies has only eight thou.
sand two hundred and sixty two, or twenty
one thousand nine hundred and four, if In.
dia is included.
10 some branches of the service the dis.
proportion is even greater, especially in the
cavalry, staff, train and administrative SER
vices. In fact, France has six times the
cavalry, four times as many in the staff,
three times as many in the train, and FIVE
times as many in the administrative service.
In the French army the proportion OF of.
fcers to men is as one to sixteen, and in
the English as one to nineteen. The re-
spective numbers in the branches named
are in fact as follows, including Algeria
with France, and India with England and
the colonies:
France. England.

The exhibit appeals to the chronic terror
ofthe London Times, and causes that jour.
nal to exclaim-" This is eminently loco
motive army. All know the trouble we
have to prepare moderate force for an
expedition. If we have to send twenty
thousand men far or near it is all the same
What fuss, and inquiry for horses, artil-
lery, wagons, ambulances, and officers COM
petent for particular services. But here all
is ready at moments warning" Then
the Times anxiously inquiries what France,
the compactest territory in the world, can
want with seventy thousand horses, the
number of army horses now in France

Total in the field and under orders. la, 900
We do not credit these figures. If they
were as large as represented, Governor
LETCHER would hardly have issued an order
directing the levy en- masse Of all the males
in the State, between the ages of sixteen
and sixty. That looks as if the supply of
volunteers was not abundant, and hence an
arbitrary CONSUMPTION was resorted to.
The Herald also states, from the most re
liable information at its command, that there
are now not less than 225, 900 men mustered
into the service of the United States gov
eminent and under pay. They are distrib.
uted at the following points, under the COM

The Strength Of the Rebels I'm Vir.
ginia, and the Number OF Loyal
Troops i'm Arms.
There seems to be the greatest uncer-
tainty regarding the number Of troops at
the disposal of the rebel commander in Vir-
ginia. Estimates vary from SO 900 men to
l47,O0O. The press of the State is not al.
lowed to chronicle army movements. The
telegraph from it has been stopped. No
persons are allowed to leave the State.
The spies which have been sent in there
give contradictory accounts, and are far
from being reliable. The Baltimore cor
respondent of the New York Herald is of
the opinion that DAVIS has under him in
Virginia the following forces:

is constitutional disease, a corruption of the
blood by which this fluid becomes vitiated,
weak, and poor. Being in the circulation, it
peryades the whole body, and may burst out
III disease on any part of it. No organ is free
from its attacks nor is there one which il NAV
not destroy. The scrofulous faint is variously
caused by mercurial disease low living. dis
ordered or unhealthy food, impure air. filth
and filthy habits, the depressing vices, and,
above all, by the vCnereal infection. What
ever be its origin, it is hereditary in the con-
stltuhon, descending from parents to children
unto the third and fourth generation :" indeed.
it seems to be the rod Of Him who saws. :.

their children"
Its effects commence by deposition from the
blood Of corrupt or ulcer0us matter which, in
the lungs, liver, and internal organs, IL termed
tubercles; IN the glands, srellings; and on
the surface, eruptions or sores. This foul cor
Yuption, which gendors in the blood, dopresses
the energies of life, that sc-ofulous constitu-
tons not only suffer from scrofulous com
plants, but they have far less power to with
stand the attacks of other diseases; cansc-
quentiy, vast numbers perish by disorders
which, although not scrofulous in their nature,
are still rendered fatal by This faint in the

cnnates the human family has its origin directly
