The reports of Gen. Grant and the Secretary o? War hare brought the consideration of our military power prominently before the country; and the figures given by Mr. Stanton emphasize at an important moment what the whole progress of our war made evident-the fact that we are in truth the first military power of the earth. Indeed, in view of the events of the past four years, it would not be extravagant to say that the possible power of the United States for the purposes of war is equal to the com? bined power of the five great nations of Europe-Austria, Prussia, Russia, England and France. The aggregate armed force of those five nations is two millions of meu, and that is the number of men that the Northern States alone have put into the field in the past four years. Add to that force, as the collective power of the United States, the men with which the South through four years held up against our blows, and the numbers will be sufficiently in our favor to balance what war might add to their numbers. And if it is in their power to greatly increase their force, it is equally certain that the full strength of this country was never yet brought out. But the present position of our foreign relations gives greater interest to the especial contrast between our power and the power of England and France. The published reports show that our force actually on foot when Lee laid down his arms was a great deal larger than the combined armies of those two nations, taken at their highest numbers and when organized for war. The actual army of France is four hundred thousand men; but war runs it up two hundred thousand igher, the difference being counted * reserve which the Government ut as the necessity may arise.
