COMPARATrvE srRENCr1I.

A correspondent of the Boston Journal
induIges in the following statistical calcu-
lations:
Since the census Of 1850, our population.
at the usual rate Of increase. has grown to
thirty-iour millions of which thirty
millions are whites. Twentv.six millions
Of these whites, reside in the districts
which recognize the Federal flag, aud bnt
-four millions in the rebel districts
In the enrolment of the militia in for
mer years, it was found that but ten per
cent. of the white population was subject TO
military duty or competent 10 bear arms
under the laws Of the United States.
This wonld give but four hundred thou
sand fighting men in The rebel States, 10
which we may add PERHAPS fifty thousand
more VINO Dave gone over TO the secession
flag from the border States, making an ag-
gregate of four hundred and ffty thou.
sand ablo bodied men in the Confederate
States.
This force has been called into the field
10y conscription, but at least one sixth. or
fifty thousand, in great part Union men.
have not responded to The call, but have
He'd TO the mountains and swamps. and
crossed the line Of free States, or taken
refuge under the Stars and Stripes OF the
army
We have then residue of 400. 900 fight.
ing men, but these have been greatly redu.
ced by sickness, and the casualties of war.
1t is saie TO estimate that the former has
disposed of at least twelve per cent. or 90.
600, and the latter have enrolled in the list
OF killed, wounded and missing, at least
100000. Since the great battles at Rich
mond but 100000 fighting men can remain.
This number is daily diminishing. and the
sources Of supplies have been nearly or
quite exhausted.
How can this force be further increased,
except by boys. old men, the feeble and in-
firm, the halt, the lame and the blind? The
whole effective force of the South. 250, 600
men. is now in The field.
To cope with them we have at least q.
5000, 900 effective men In the free States,
or two and half millions after allowing
for all the l0s es of the war, and if 10 res
pOnse TO the calls of the President we can
keep our troops in the rebel States up TO
ODe-tifth that number, we have ample force
to put down secession. If we assume that
$4,000 rebel troops are now in Arkansas
and Texas. 10000 south Of Corinth, 25. 900
in the Carolinas and Georgia and Is 600 Ia
the mountains Of Virginia and Tennessee,
we have left after the late conflict less than
l25,OOO rebel troops around Richmond.

ii is supposed by many that the late calls

British Government TefRsed. Mediation
means Intervention. The United States will
not accept the offer, for mediation means

Government believing this, or having id-
formation 10 that effect, is preparing to
meet them. France may come alone, or
she may prevail on England to join her.
Lord Lyons left Washington some time
since, aud Is now In London. The Comic

son, and cannot be In arms against France
because of their birth and pretensiOns.
Their departure some think has been advised
by England, who is friendly with them,
while others surmise that they have gone OF

foreign powers against interference. Sec

1t is true, England has said, through her

would not. And "periidious Albion" may
change her mind any day. These Powers
may say to our Government: "This war
