"The same will be the case in Wis

"The same will be the case in Wis,
consin, and the result will show that
the scheme Of allowing the soldiers to
vote out of the state was an abolition
trick, concocted by them to deprive the
people of their right to choose their
own representatives. ~ Green Bay Id
cocdte
Thus speaks democratic paper. It's
sentiments are III accordance wiCh all
the other democratic papers III the state.
1t is evident that the party IS opposed
to allowing Wisconsin soldiers to exer-
else the right of suffrage, because they
have taken up arms against the enc
mics Of the country, and have thus re-
moved themselves from amongst U.s.
We cannot see how their voting can
deprive the people of the right to
choose their own representatives when
the volunteers are themselves part Of
the people. They dc not lose their cit
izenship by joining the army. They
are not regulars, but volunteers from
the private walks Of life, who have of
tered their services for specific pur-
pose, and when that is accomplished
we hope they will return to the stase.
1t ought not to be our policy to cause
these men to lose their interest i'll
the affairs of the state: but to keep
Wisconsin and her welfare in their
minds. One method Of doing this is
to continue to them the privilege Of
voting at the elections. There is no
difficulty about it at all, and the Iiablli-
ty to fraud is not SO great as in the
elections at home. The returns show,
SO far as they have been received, that
the volunteers have exercised this tight,
without yielding to undue Influences
from any source, and so far from the
soldiers suffrage having been demon
strated "humbug," as some contend,
the policy has fully vindicated itself,
and we hope will be continued.-Jancs-

6tH. Price in Missouri

Two Of three days age .go a report
was quite Current here that Gen.
Price had recently attacked and
whipped the Lincolnites stationed
it Lexington, Mo. Several PASS
engers on the train report the ru-
NOR as in circulation in Nashville,
but we were still disposed to doubt
lit as no mention was made of it in
our western exchanges. Northern
papers, though; seem to confirm
the report, and it is how quite ,evi-
dent that a severe battle took
place between Gen. Price and the
Federals, near Lexington, on the
29th. The Yankees attempted q
SURPRISE and were defeated accor-
ding to their own estimate, with a
loss Of 800 killed and taken pris-
oners. Our information states
thar loss as amounting to some
900, ahd Prices loss 20 killed and
SO wounded: The forces engaged
are said to have numbered about
1900 Federals, and II, 900 Con-
federates. The difficulty IF COM

the South may account for not

The Tennessee LegiSla .ure =

The press Of Tennessee is be-
ginning to speak out loudly with
reference to the Tennessee Legis-
lature. When this body met in
October last, a desire was very
generally expressed that the session
should be a short one, and six
weeks was mentioned as the prob
able and ample length of the term,
vet over three months have been
passed in legislation, and the end
is not yet. The General As
sembly costs the people of Ten
nessee about eight hundred dol
lars a dag, and they are becoming
FESTIVE under the burden. We
have heard the subject discussed
repeatedly by persons from various
parts Of this county, recently, and
the plan of calling a public meet
ing to pass resolutions, asking the
Legislature to adjourn siae die,
meets with an almost unanimous
favor. And from the tone of our
exchanges, we infer that the same
feeling prevails in other portions
of the State.
