Lincoln's war message.
It is reported that Abraham Lincoln, in his forthcoming message to Congress, will recommend that five hundred thousand men be raised at once, and two hundred millions borrowed, to carry on the war. This would be a larger army than France, with double the population of the United States, possesses at this moment, when it is believed that she is preparing for a European war. In proportion to population, Louis Napoleon would have to raise an army of a million to put the French Empire on a military equality with the magnificent programme of Abraham Lincoln.--The London Times complains that it is portentous of war in Europe, when Napoleon has at his back an army of four hundred thousand men, which, it says, is one to every one hundred of the whole population, or one out of sixteen, able-bodied men. To raise five hundred thousand men, would be bringing into the field 1-36th of the whole Northern population.
Who believes that it can be done?
It is an easy matter

Gigantic Military Preparations of France.
The London Times has a long article on this subject, in which the old bug-bear of French invasion is dressed up in tog tly refuse to be moved again from his equanimity.
The Times states that whilst France fears no invasion and has the compactest territory in the world, she has an eff ,737; its horses 85,705--evidently, says the Times, a locomotive army. What can France want with so many horses?
Is it for merely a defensive force — so gigantic, so handy, so terrible — that France is now paying, in money and in forced labor twenty-four millions a year?
France is now in the very state she was in thirty months aFrance is now in the very state she was in thirty months ago, when she poured her legions over mountain and sea, and drove a great empire and a friendly State out of an ancient appanage.
Thus speaks the Times, and the expla e reward of its labors.
So far as the entente cordiale between England and France is concerned, we have no apprehension that it is likely to be soon disturbed.
