Act promptly and efficiently. If you

SORROW.

and combined effort may accomplish
much. There are thousands of the

Advance ia Prices OF Subscriptions

In consequence of the increased cost
of wages, paper, and other materials,

the Proprietors of the NAsHyILLLE

This step has been taken reluctantly,
but after mature deliberation; and not
until we were satisfied that it could no

however, that it will not be long before
the country is relieved of the high pri-

rhe State Gorsrnments IN Ise5.

The New York Tribune says, in our
JOY over the reelection Of Abraham
Lincoln as President and the election
of a Congress in which three-fourths
Of the members of each House will
vote for the abolition of slavery, we are
apt to under estimate our gains in the
State Governments A cursory glance
at them will show that they are no less
sweeping and noless important
We have a majority in each House of
every Legislature of the original free
States with the sole exception of the
Senate of New Jersey. The Senate of
Indiana had until recently a Demo-
cratic majority of one, but the recent
disclosures of the reasonable plots of
the "Sons of Liberty" to which we are
indebted for a gain of so many thou
sand votes at the late elections, have
also carried over to our side one of the
Senators, thus giving us a majority.
We control, besides, both Houses of the
Legislatures of Nevada, West Virginia,
Missouri, Louisiana, and Arkansas. In
Maryland the Democrats have major
ity of one in the Senate, but we have a
large majority on joint ballot This
gives as control of tscsnbfUs Legisla-
lures
IfCongress should vote Tor an amend
ment to the Constitution abollshing
Slavery, such amendments must be
ratified by threefourths of the State
Legislatures or of State Conventions,
as Congress may propose. In case the
Rebellion, by the time Of the adoption
Of this amendment, should not yet be
completely subdued, Congress will
have to decide whether a three-fourths
majority of all the Ssates or only Of the
States actually in the Union shall be
required. Even in the former case, it
will be seen from our above statement,
we are now very near having the re-
auired three-fourths majority. The
political complexion of the next Legis-
lature to be chosen in Tennessee will,
without doubt, be anti-Slavery, and the
same will be the ease with the first
Legislatures of the New States, Colorado
and Nebraska. These three States
will give us. 2g Legislatures out Of 80,
the number requisite
We need no longer fear any factious
opposi ton from the State Executives
The Governors of all the twenty-nine
States which we have just enumerated
are loyal and anti-Slavery men, with
the exception only Of the GovernOrsof
New jersey and Kentucky. Rebel
sympathizers in England will have no
longer q Governor Seymour to whom
they can look for the Inauguration of
civil war in the North. There Is now
the greatest harmony between the
National Government and the State |
Governments-one omen more for the |
speedy suppression of the Rebellion.

and distress of this unfortunate class,

The cruel necessities of war have,
during the past two years, caused large
numbers. of persons to seek a refuge
from oppression here and at other
points, within the lines of the national
army, as we'll as further north; but, at
no former period, have we had in our
midst such scenes Of misery and woe,
as are now to be seen at the above
named place Hundreds of men ad
vanced in years, grey haired sires, with
decrepit forms; gaunt, halffamished
boys within the rebel conscript ages

grown girls, and tender little children,
of all ages, are congregated there. The

no hospitable voices to invite them TO
