Tns Growth OF tho Nation,

There is 10 more striking feature OF the
Pr. siaenrs Message than that which estab-
lishcs the fact Inst notwithstanding all the
desolalions and ravages OF this unhappy
civil wsr, the loyal States hsve actually IN
creased IN population since 1850. The net
increase, during The war, in theloysl States
and Territories has been I45, ,75l, not in
eIudiny the soldiers from various Ststes
t5at did not vote in the recent election.
statistiaians, in ordinary times, estimate
that as many as % per cent OF the popula-
tion do not vote at all. The number that
did not vote in 1880 and 1884 was very
much less than this and probably about
the same in per cent. But this increase
does not inelu1e tens of Thousands of fer
eipn migrants who have arrived upon our
our shores, and who have not been natur-
allied
This fact of a great increase in our popu-
lstion has 8 very important bearing on the
question of our ability TO carry on the war.
It shows that there is yet an abundance
of men in the land and that the rebellion
can be pat down.
Ihe CROWN IL our populabIOH muse
several other i'm portAnt facts. The pOPu-
lar vote. in 1860, of all the States now in
insurrection, was sj6, ,524. That of New York
this year is 72o78O, only ls5,7s4 votes less
That If, the strength of New York alone
is nearly equal to that of the insurrec1ion-
ary States in 1860 But the population Of
the rebelIioul States has been greatly re-
duced in four years. The ravages of war
have been in their midst Their loss Of
life has been fearful We may therefore
infer that the popular vote to-day of the
State OF New York is as great as that Of
all the States in insurreetiOn.
Its this wonderful growth of the North
going on in spite Of the civil war, which
alarmed the rebel leaders in days gone by
z.rheF saw it inevitable that they would f.
nslly be out-7oted in the legislative halls Of
the nation. Theysought, therefore, toescaPa
from the consequences Of that msjority by
plunging into this desolsting strife. TheiI
motto was, "better reigR in hell than serve
in heaven and reignirg in darkness ant
destruction they certainly are. The dream
of great slave empire bordering on th'
Cult is forever gone. The great free pop
ulation Of the North is TO inhabit the
South.

The Frauds at the Philadelphia Navy
To -- Yard.


The Philadelphia Ledger of to-day says:
The developments in reference to the
thefts at the Navy Yard continue, very
naturally, to excite the public mind from
the fact that the depredatious were OF such
extensive character, and involve 30 many
persons, some Of them holding responsible
positions. As the Investigations of the
Commission which is snquiring into the
matter, are conducted in private, 1t is i'm
possible to lay before the public all the
facts. But enough is known to make it a
matter of certainty that the thefts havO
been going on for considerable time,
and thst the value of the property stolen
exceeds in amount the highest estimate
yet given.
The manner in which discovery was
made, YVES this: Invoices were received for
goods sent from New York and other
places, which never reached the Yard
This led to an inquiry, and detectives
were SCI to work to find out the apparent
mystery, which was soon laid bare. The
vessels in which the articles had been ship
ped we're unlosded at wharves outside the
Yard, and the copper and other articles,
inSLeAQ OF DeAlS Iah0H W INC NaNA SASAoEi
were hauled to repositories in the city, to
be there kept until an opportunity was
offered to dispose of them. Copper seems
to have been favorite article Of plunder,
but it was not confined to one or dozen
articles; thus far sheet tin, in large qnan-
titles, lead, block tin, and other articles
were discovered, and the prospect Is that
much more of the Plunder will be brought
to light.
The arrests thus far made are William
q. Harris, keeper of sailors homei An
tonic Ais, master carter; Isiah Pascoe,
master plumber; Edward Simpson, mast
er csulker; Lewis George and james Gil
bingham, clerks; and Joseph Tauline, in
the Purseris department of the receiving
ship. 1t was reported yesterday that
other arrests were made, and among them
tavern keeper-snd an employing carter.

A few days more and the reply will be

The Movement of General Gregg Pro-
uOuncrd Most Important.


If all we hear be true, Grant has made
most Important movement on our ex-
treme right, south of Petersburg. A gen.
tleman from Petersburg informs US that
on Thursday morning, the enemy, with a
large force Of cavalry and tw divisions of
infantry, struck the Weldon Railroad at
Stony Greek, twenty miles soutn of Peters
burg, and having burnt the railroad bridge
at that place, started south, towards Vel
don, destroying the railroad and laying
waste the country as they advanced.
The Petersburg EsDress states on the
information Of passengers by the South
side road, that Stony Creek Station was
seized by a large force of Yankee cavalry,
who held it at last accounts. We fear
that the account above given by US is the
true one, aud that the movements are
more severe then q cavalry raid.
1t is proper to state that We have been
unable to Oh ain from the War Depart
ment any information in regard to this
imporeant event.-RichmoHa Dispatch,

Carrier pigeons are suggested as being
very excellent messengers in case of an
expedition like that of Shermans. Had
Sherman possessed them, he might have
communicated with Washington, thinks a

The failure Of the President to speak of
our relations with England and France,
may or may not be accidental. 1t is high
ly improbable that it was a merely curious
omission. What it means may be deter
mined hereafter.

The report that Grant was crossing troops
te the north side ofthe Jams River was
repeated yesterday, but we believe it TO
have been without any foundation. We
think it far more likely that any move
ment which he viii take advantage Of, this
fine spell of weather, viii be IN his left and
not on his right.
There has been no more fighting on
General Picketts lines. The shelling of
the Dutch Gap still continues. 1t wos re-
ported, some days ago, thatfrom HOwletts
battery q steamer could be seen in Buffers
Canal.
The Sentinel says that below Richmond
quiet still prevails this side Of the James,
though there is a repetition Of the report
of the movement of troops toward our left.
Mr.. Grant will find our troops on the al
ert and prepared to receive him. There
was the usual shelling at Dutch Gap on
the 25th. A shell from one of our batter
les struck steam dredge squarely amid
ships and sunk It instantly in the water
ten or fifteen feet deep. This dredging
machine had Just been repaired and is the
only one the enemy has in the river.

ane I.esson Of lne Reeenl Election.

ahe Lesson OF Ihe Recent Election.
The President rightly interprets the re-
eenteleotion when he says that it gave un-
mistaksble evidence that the people were
unchanged in their determination to stand
by the Union and the Constitution. Now
that the smoke of party conflict has been
1ifted from the field of strife, this'one pur-
pose may be seen shining forth bright
and strong as the besms Of the sun. With
the exception Of few peace COpperhesds
that still live scattered here and there, the
people are united IN tins one thing. The
Union is to be restored, by peaceful means
npoasible, by war if necessary.

Just as was about to close this letter,
1 received the following interesting item
of intelligence;
A deserter came into our lines this eve
ming, and said an order from Hood was
read this morning at the head of each
company in the rebel army, the purport of
which was, that the General congratulated
his troops upon their glorious victory at
Franklin; that one more such triumph Gs
that would entirely ruin our army; that
thomas had under him only the odds
and ends of troops gathered
from various quarters, eked out with sab
stitutes and conscriptsi that it would be en-
easy matter to drive this molly and dis
affected horde into the Cumberland; and
that then Nashville, with all its beauty and
booty would be theirs.
1t is said further, that Hood rode ont this
morning with Cheathsm and others, to the
top Of an eminence overlooking part of our
position. and pointing to Fort Negley, said;

This morning his infantry lines were
fully depioyed around the city and he
made still further advance to-day, dri-
wing cur skirmishers at several points and
killing and wounding few of our men.
At about two in the afternoon his move
ments became so threatening that our ar
tillery opened upon him from various posi-
tions, and some lively shooting between
the skirmishers taking place at the same
time, several frightened citizens who were
watching the affair from afar, imagined
they had witnessed battle, and had won
derful stories to tell of it.

SITUATION.

Our line extends generally in semi
circle south, east and west CT the city, our
aanks resting upon the Cumberland. Forts
Negley, Merton, Gillem, Houston and Ca
sin0 are all in fine condition, and their
garrisons are longing for the command TO
let their big guns speak in thunder to the
enemy.
Our boys have been as busy as bees yes
terdsy and to day, and a magnificent line
of works now connects the forts, and eZ-
tends entirely round the city, from the
river above TO ther below. The rebels
have also been engaged to-day throwing
up intrenchments all along their lines.
Nearly all the timber around Nashville
has baen Ont down during tho course Of
tho war, and the operations of both. arimes
can be plainly seen. The spectacle of the
opposing hosts as seeu from the Capitol,
either by night or day, ia truly sublime.
