The Boston Journal remarks the
United States has been said to bo a
warlike nation without being auiilitary
nation. Its war potontiulities are vast,
indeed. It showed that 30 years ago,
when with only a little more than half
its present population it mustured
more than 3,000,000 men nuder arms
in the Union and Confederate forces
There are now in America tho enor
mous total of 0,900,000 men of mili
tary age eligible for militnry service
Of course, the actual number ot or
ganized, drilled and uniformed citizen
soldiers is only asm ill fraction of this,
but tho real available military strength
ot tho United States is only inade
quately appreciated by the averago
American. Never before was tho Na
tional Guard of the several states so
strong in numbers, so well armed, so
excellently disciplined. There are
112,190 of these volunteers in all, rep
tenting infantry, cavalry and artillery.
New York heads the list in numbers
irith a well-equipped, force of 12,810
officers and men. Pennsylvania has a
force of 8.G14, whose mettle was tried
two years ago at Homestead ; Ohio
has 6,123, and Massachusetts 5,660.
The states in which the present strike
centers are well prepared fur such an
emergency. Illinois'! militia body
musters 4,777 men ', Indiana's, 2,633;
Iowa's, 2,351 ; Missouri's, 2,415, and
Michigan's, 2,801. Illinois is particu
larly fortunate in the character of its
fine city regiment. ' When to this
great army of 100,000 men are added
the 23,000 regulars nnd the 2,000 or
8,000 blue jackets aud marines of the
war ships ou the home stations, it is
obvious that there is something more
than the policeman's club between the
UUnerican people and anarchy,

FARM ERS UP IN ARMS.
Bears, Deer and Partldges Dss roying
Crops in Vermont.
Id the mountain distrlots east of Rutland,
VX, partridges aud deer are so abundant that
tb -y are destroying crops. The black bear Is
also takliiK a band In the trespassing.
Ueorxe H. Woodward, a farmer living five
miles Ironi ltutlnud has inude complaint to
tho Vermont (lame Club that a herd of deer
hat destroyed an aero aud a half of buck
wheat and devoured Ids vegetables. Ho de
mands damages, and legnl complications are
likely to grow out of the ens?. II j says tii e
deer come into the fields seven or eight at a
time, just after sunset, nud stay uulil he
drives them away in the morning. They smy
until npprouched within three or four rods.
Within a mile of Hutiaud deer nre met trot
ting along tlm traveled road.
I'pon the mountains farmers frequently
have to drive partridges from their gardens
nnd deer are found feeding with the cows.
This Is the result of the law forbidding the
killing of game until 1000. The next Legis
luture will probably modify or repeal tho
laws or the farmers will rebel.
