The 6SfE1 Illinois.

Ibis regiment, which has been reduced
since its organization from s6S to $40, is now
At Camp Butler, Springfield. The officers and
men who were captured at Shiloal1, having
been exchanged, were ordered to report at
Camp Butler, and the remnant Of the regi-
mcnt still in tie field, numbering about 140
men, have been brought up from Corinth also
to camp Butler, and reorganization and
1uing up the regiment is now in progress.
Col. " r. Lynch is III command of the post
ut Camp Butler, and Lieut.. Col Rutishauser
commands the regiment. Major Thomas
p Newlan is spending . short time ut home in
Aurora, and has, within a few days, sent a
number Of recruits forward to The regiment. :.
Major New1an. by the way, has had some
experience in the Goyernlnent service. he
served five years on a nan-of-war under Com
modore Perry, in the African squadron some
years ago. Although he is man Of wealth.
and engaged in lucrative business pursuits
when the war broke ont, yet lie was tile means
of rccr1,ing two companies, and enlisted hlm-
self as private. when tho 5Stl, was oreanizcd,
over two years ago.
We hope this veteran regiment will be filled
up and enabled to do more good service in the
field. It is well offccrcd, and has an excellent
reputation.

THE POPULAR VOTE.

Tic assertion has been made several
million times since the 4th Of November,
by the Opposition party leaders, that the
elections of last fall condemned the Ad-
ministration-that the popular voice had
renounced strongly against the Republ-
can party and its policy for conducting the
war. The result in all the States that have
voted is now known, and here are: the fig
ures. They tell very different tale from
that told by the Democratic demagogues.

NEGRO WOKSHIpPER4

1t is wonderful how much a lie. well
stuck to, will accomplish. Rcitcration is
the secret Of the success Of a bad cause.
Ridic,de, and talsehood, repeated often
enough and boldly enough, will ef1ectually
deceive mrltitudes. Take for example the
assertion Of the Democratic prints that the
Republicans are negro worshippers y that
The former sympathize with the white man
and the latter with the negro. On these
strings they harp day and night, and these
false assertions they never weary in repeat
ing. Yet they arc Ies-mcan, malicious
and ilnIudent lies Tits lie Of the hugcs1
kind that their symratlies are with the
white man, OF that his good is their chie1
concern; and tits still huger lie that they
tHt2tze negroes. In fact they are the real
@'negro worshiprers" Only let tle black

Especial correspondence of the Chicago Tribune I
NAsHT1lLs, Tenn, Dec. Ii, 1852.
FROM 4 lew Southern papers which have
been enabled to catch glimpse at, have
gathered a few items Of interest regarding
rebel movements in front. I would couplc
them with our own, but the fact is that no i'm
porta1t movements are being made BIZ us.
We have no President to visit us. no prand
reviews except those Of Gen. Rosencrans' and
MS inspectors, and no movements at all. We
are indulging in flags of truce (which the
rebels don't 1esrcet) and our martial banners
are furlcd, We are indnlging in words. Per-
haps we slall get to blows shortly.

1t Is thought that he came west on a personal
inspection Of the army to revive their, droon-
spirits. They have not been in the very best.
on account Of their terrible condition in rf-
regard to winter clothing and the unsatisfac
tory prospect before them. But though the
PRESIDENT may revive their dropping spirits.
there is very little likelihood of his c1otninp

stealing the clothing of the Hartsville cap
tlves, and'returned them. to US minus OYER

I have Bragg's order regarding the Hn1ts-

copy it and send it entire. I give ron the

and pleasure, mingled With gratitude to the
Supreme source Of Ill victories, that the Cen

that The force making tho attack on Colonel

Of "a portion of Morgan's. cavalry brigade and

TIE SsTH {2D %. OF r. REGIMENT.

a correspondent in the above regiment
writes us on the 10th that they arc on tile
pike 1cading from Nashville to Nolans9ille,
taking their turn at picket duty. The COM
mander Of their brigade, Col Nick Greusel,
las been superseded by Gen: Sill, and the gal
liant Colonel is now in command Of his reei-
ment. THIS pleases tho regiment but not the
brigade. Our correspondent also states that
the regiment were supplied with shelter tents
few days ago. They are made Of common
unblcached cotton cloth, and entirely worth
less. They no more she'd rain than would a
fine scire. They were hooted out Of camp,
The health Of the regiment is improving very
fast, although there are still quite number
i'll. The Colonel Of the sstl is popular with
the boys.

on that cast for Congress, which was not
by several thousand fair test of party
strength as in one or two strong Demo
cratic districts the Republicans made no
effort to poll their strength. But the gen

fourths Of whom would have supported
the Republican ticket. Had all the legal
voters among the soldiers been allowed to
cast their ballots the Democrats would
have carried just one State-New Jersey,
and that by very slim majority. All the
others would have gone for the Admin

Pleas for a mandamus, ordering the Coun-
ell to restore Dufield to lis rights Of MEM

was granted. During The argument the
following colloquy occurred between
Judge Thompson and Mr. Phillips, coun-
sel for the defendants:
Judge Thompson said that if he understood

can turn out the whole minority whenever
they choose, and there is no redress: to
which Mr.. Phillips ingenious1y responded,
" think sot'' In other words, if it suit:
their partisan purposes to get lid Of the mi
norlty, they can turn them out and thereby
dleffsnchiEe more than half the people, for

Grafton in the next Congress. We see by
our exchanges that several notices Of CON
