Broaoaes Cavary.--While ON drill at Fair>
field Race Course last Friday evening, an or.
der was read to this battalion which took
most Of them by surprise. It announced
That all members under IS years of age, being
liable to conscription, would be allowed
twenty days to enlist In companies in the
fleld of their own selection, members over
45 to be permitted to remain in the bat

The Population OF the Northern
States.

1t would certainly be as useless as il
would be heartless 10 deny or TO under
value the immense losses, suffered by
the loyal States of the Union no less
than by the Rebellion, in consequence
Of the war. We have among US tens OF
thousands of disconsolate widows and
fatherless orphans. We have tens of
thousands of parents mourning the
premature death of belove,t sons, who
were snatched from them in the prime
of life. We have tens of thousands OF
crippled soldiers, who will never be re-
stored to the enjoyment OF health and
the ordinary pursuits of life, and we al
have to bear the burden of a h avY
taxation. Still, Notwithstanding all The
misery and deprivation which the
var has brought upon US, 1t is re
markable sign of the times, that the
loyal States nave not suffered yet any
,oss in their aggregate population but
hat Notwithstanding all the devasta-
tons of the last four years we have at
present a much larger population than
IN 1860 This appears concluslvely
from a comparison of the votes cast at
the Presidential elections in 1864 and
1860. We believe it is fair TO assume,
that the vote of 1860 was about as Tdll
as that of 1864, and that the increase
in the aggregate vote ofthe States may
be taken as an index of the increase Of
population. The following list com
brises all the States FROM which COM
nlete returns of the Presidential elec-
ton have so far been received, and
shows the increase of voters from 1860
The Nashville daily union. [volume] (Nashville, Tenn.) 1862-1866, 1864-12-10

IL will be seen from this table that
there is an increase in the number of
voters in every State, except Ohio
Even this solitary exception disappears
when we add the soldiers vote, which
will largely swell, also, the increase of
every other State The aggregate of
this increase in the thirteen States
enumerated in our list viii, including
the soldier votes, reach a very high
figure.
we must add that most of the Satet
not embraced in our list show likewise
an increase; that since 1860 We have
formed two new States, Kansas and Ne
yada, of which the former in 1868 cast
1884, and the latter 20,934 votes, and
that number of territories are equal-
ing the two States in rapid progress
We must further take into considers
ton that the immigration from Europe
is assuming greater dimensions from
day to day, and is this year, cOnsidera-
bly, larger than last year, and 1t must
be clear to the most inyeterate skeptic
that our country has not been drained
yet of men, and that we are as fully
able now TO replenish our armies and
continue the war as ever beiore.-N

The Louisville Journal Of day before
yesterday, is out in favor of petition
ing the Legislature Of that State to
take such measures as lie in its power,
to emancipate the slaves of the State.
This is indeed refreshing, and is an in
dubitable evidence thai public opinion
is changing in Kentucky. TheJournal
held out against the measure, as long
as it could, denouncing the enlancipa-
tionists, and even, within a year,
threatening them with violencs, or
rather.regretting that the people Of the
State had ceased to employ violent
measures, in their dealings with them;
therefore we may form some idea Of
the magnitude Of the change which
has taken place in public opinion.
Anything short Of an irresistible pres
sure would have been of no avail
At the late election, Lincoln and
johnson, the representatives. Of imme-
date emancipation, received about
thirty per cent Of the entire vote of
the State, against one per cent, cast
for Lincoln and Hamlin, and the limi-
tatios Of slavery, four years since; and
in this thirty per cent is to be found
the eblest men, and profoundest think
ers in the Commonwealth and the in
crease of the anti-slavery party is so
rapid, that there is every reason to be-
Iieve it will carry the State next Au-
gust; and, therefore, the journal cares
not TO resist it longer.
We are in favor Of SO amending the
Constitution of the United States, IS
to abolish slavery; but pending the
passage Of the amendment, we desire
the States, in their individual capacity,
TO take action in the matter, as Mary
land has done, and as Missouri wi
do, during the coming January, and
as Tennessee viii doubtless do by next
4th of July.
Itwould be great honor to Kentucky
to take the lead in this matter to be
the fret of the older Western States
to inaugurate emancipation. We hope
the Journal will go on, in the good
work in which it is now engaged.

70 repent, Il they will.

The rebels pretended to hold an
election in this State last year, at which
one Robert /. Caruthers was chosen
Governor They have never had an
opportunity to inaugurate him, and
Harris, the great skedaddler, and itin-
Grant therefore, holds over, and exer
cises the functions of Governor. He
has followed Hood into Tennessee, and
had the GOODNESS to encourage his fol
lowers, recently, with the assurance
that they would soon be in Nashville.
The boys are both hungry and thirsty !;
they long TO dip their dirty fingers into
the rich viands Of cur eating houses
and pant for Barkaorn's ale, as the
hartpants FOR the cooling water brook"
Old sweethearts are the last thing
thought Of for the "boys" are well
aware that the pick snd flower of the
manageable girls they left behind
them, have fallen into the arms of
Yankee husbands
But lsham and the "boys" have been
hanging around Nashville for a week.
They have, Of course, had frequent
consultations with the hundreds of
their old friends, that reside Just out
side of the Federal lines, and have
learned much of the condition Of affairs
IN this place. Aye, we may venture to
say, they have been thoroughly posted
relative to our defences, to the strength
and efficiency of our army, the number
of people here, the business Of the city,
the quantity Of supplies, and, as a GER
tain secesh squire would say, the status
of all the old citizens We have seen
enough TO satisfy us that oaths are no
thing-honor a myth-in the estima-
ton of men once regarded as pinls of
chivalry. The stock of information
obtained through such sources has,
doubtless, satisfied Isham and "the
boys that they must continue to
realize indefinitely that Hope
deferred which maketh the heart
sick" They may continue to prowl
around our city, like pack of ravenous
wolves, and eat out the substance of
their aiders and abettors, and thus re
duce them TO restitution. No body
will care how eflectnally this is done;
for it is but retrbutive justice Aud
after they have done this, they will
sink away, and seek safety FOR time
where they can prey upon the corn
cribs and meat houses of other com
munities. Inside of the gates of Nash
vile they will never come. Hood may
ride from camp TO camp and make
braggart speeches, and vast promises;
his speeches viii prove but gas, and his
promises go uniulflled With all his
boldness and daring he has not the te-
merity 10 throw his corps Of desperate
and desPairing traitors on the thick
bosses Of Nashyille's Buckler
Isham must therefore, continue to
hold over; and Bob to wait for his day
Of Inauguration The'old proverb saith
"every Cog hath his day but we feel
assured that this dog is an exception
