An inspection Of these figures discovers IN
e1!raordiI ary change In three years. The
cemocrAtic majority Of 1855 given in 1860
had decreased to 5,eo9 in 1862, and in 1853
The Unionists carried the district last tau By
SO nsjc1ity. The change in some of the
counties is most remarkable. Look at Jack
so., johnson, Massac, Perry, Popo, PulaskI,
Saline ard Williamson. The Union mca are
co1fccnt Of carrying johnson by 100 majoz-
ity, Saline by 800. Perry by 200, Pope bT $50,
and jackson by 800, The heaviest majoritics
against them Fill be in Union and White,
The vote will be close In Alexander, Gallatin,
Mnssac, Wabash and williamson Josh Allen
admits that Lis majority will not exceed 100,
while the friends Of Kuykendall claim 1000

It Is charged By the Louisville Jowrnas that
General Paine's course has been 1arksd By
numerous outraces, Robbery, murder, en-
bnzzleme1t and unjustiaable basishmeats
are among the crimes alleged. A military
commission WAS sent to Kentucky nearly
three weeks since, and has been holding full
Investigation. It possible that the charges
xgainst General Paine are true. 1t will be
time 10 decide t1Et when the report OF the
commission Is published. Oaa thing Ia ccr-
tin: that the policy pursued Was sach as to
incur the indignation OF Kentucky dtsloy al1sts
who have hitscrto considered th.meelYes tue

any "1ighte.'' Any interencn with their
schemes WISE sure to evoke their lon 1.spoken
wrath and there is ground for susp-c.ing
their wrongs in the present case to be more
imaginary than real Il the "murders''
should Prove to be The execution Of gueril-
las The " robbery" heavy taxation Of
known Gisloya1ists, the suspension Of all
bustness'' the stoppage Of eontra oand trale
and the "banlshment Of citizens" the ex-
pulpion Of active rebrl sJmpashizers, there
will be nc real Cause for complaint. General
Paine's policy, whatever his personsl con-
ductay have been. had tha good effect TO
drive The guer,lI4s from his district: and
