PopuLArroN AND THE WAn.-The dimin-

POPULATION AND THE WAR.-The dimin-
ution Of the male population by the war
will not prove SO disastrous to the popula-
ton Of the future as many have been led to
suppose. On the contrary, should the war
continue two or three years, and the loss Of
life proceed at the same ratio with which it
has done during the past three, the reduc-
ton will about produce q balance of the
two sexes. According to the census Of
1860, the number of males in the then en-.
tire United States was greater than the
number of females by about $50, 700.
Strange to say, in polygamous Utah the
numbers were then nearly equal. Massa-
chusetts and New York were the emily
States in which the females outnumbered
the males-in the former by $4,000; in
the latter by few hundred. Proceeding
upon basis of moral philosophy, it is ra-
tional to presume that this war never would
have occurred, but for this unclaimed 1870, !.
600 chartered libertines," who, if they
had been properly mated, would never have
found time to squabblo over politics and
stimulate the discussions that resulted nat
urally in disunion. "When this cruel war
is over" it is to DO hoped that tho popula-
ton will proceed on the brlahcing princi.
pie, as that principle Is certainly tho best,
if not the only insurance for tho peace and
prosperity ola republ,.

WAR news.

The news received during the past
rxnex from our different armies, CON
tains nothing relative to any contem-
plated move in either of the Depart
ments. The extreme cold weather
now upon us, and the badness of the
roads in the vicinity of our armies.
present very formidable obstacles to
the march Of infantry and artillery fo1
some time to come.
Our Cavalry, however appear to be
active and have daily skirmishes with
the enemy, at different points Gen.
Forrest in a late despatch dated Sen
atobia says that he met the enemy and
fought them for four days, and repulsed
them each day with heavy loss to them
His loss was light. The Mobile Reg
lister giving an account Of the same
exploits says that Gen. Forrest crossed
the Charleston and Memphis Rail
Road after having several fights in all
of which he was successful. He de-
feated the 9TH and 9th Illinois, near
Summerville with heavy loss !; cap
tured Lafayette, drove the enemy into
his works at ColliervilIe captured
the wagon train Of the 9Th Illinois and
sixty prisoners fought the enemy,
infantry and cavalry near jackson
Tennessee and drove them back. At
this point Gen. Chambers formed a
junction with him.
On the 3rd inst our Cavalry, Gen
Fitz Lee in command captured neal
Moorefeld, Hardy county a train Of
wagons together with the teams, dri
vers and guards. On the same night
they surprised, and captured about sc
Yankees who had taken refuge in g
Church. The prisoners about "a il
number passed through this place last
week on their way to Richmond
Gen. Lee in his official dispatch puts
the number Of prisoners at 200 and
adds one hundred and twenty-five cat.
tie, twenty-five wagon loads of hides
and 125 mules. This is doing pretty
well for a short raid.
Maj, Mosby attacked picket post
Of the enemy near Warrenton on the
9th inst. at night, capturing Is priso-
ners and killing IL or 20 more anG
bringing off forty horses and all th'
arms and equipments. This capture
was effected without any loss, eithe.
in killed wounded or missing.
Gen. w. E Jones captured neal
Jonesvllle Lee county OH the 3rd inst
about 400 Yankees that had beer
proving III that country, together
with 3 pieces of artillery, and all theil
wagons horses and mules. His loss
5 killed and IL wounded.

BIZ NOT DECEIVED.

The Cincinnati Enquirer" pub.
fishes The strength Of the Democratic
party in the United States, as est
mated from the votes given in The
State elections Of 1868, showing that
there are one million and half Of
Democrats at the close Of the last year.
and exclai,ns "what a glorious fgure!'
We could rejoice at this estimate il
mere numbers attached to the name
OF Northern Democrat were it. all that is
necessary, but The Democrats of the
United States have left their old land
marks, since this struggle for South
crn independence began, and in their
desire to prosecute the war for the
maintenance Of the Union, thus being
willing to coerce Sovereign States, they
have laid aside the Constitution and
with it The doctrine of States rights,
for which they had long and success
fully contended, hence we trust that
the mere numbers of the party can no
longer deceive any one in the South
into the vain hope Of good to the Con-
federate States resulting therefrom.
The Enquirer asserts S'that it is a
power in the country, within twenty
per cent as great as the Administra-
tion, Notwithstanding all its tremen-
dous appliances, all of it's money and
military backing, all its various and
different factions, having no common
agreement Of principle, and certain,
as soon as the distribution of spoils is
over, to split apart, which will be ar
rayed against it." and that cts infu~
ence must ere long be felt in shaping
the policy of the Government" II
the men who compose the million and
q half were like the few left here and
there, merely indicating what De-
mocracy in the North was, we might
hope that their controlling influence
would shape the policy Of the Govern
ment, but when we remember that the
men these numbers have placed in
power have only aided the Admins
tration and Its party, which it is de-
clarcd the Democracy Of the North
will oppose, we can readily understand
that it is opposition, hostile opposi-
ton, to us and not to the enemies OF
their constitution which we are more
reasonably to expect Let us not then
be turned aside from our endeavors to
meet the entire Yankee nation in
arms, by this great display of num-
bers in the northern Democratic par
ty, but trustto that one and only thing,
which will secure to us the blessings
Of liberty and independence, our own
inyincibiliiy.

EW If it DO true, as stated, that fifty per
cent, Of the army is absent from tho iisld /,
it is manifest that tho efficiency Of tho SER
vice and the general interests Of tho coun-
try will be better secured by tho adoption
of such measures as will remedy this evil,
than by legislatipg for The enrolment OF
other classes Of citizens. There is u serious
defect somewhere, either 10 the organiza-
ton or discipline Of the army There has
not single reverse occurred to our arms
since the began, which would not most
probably have been avoided, had onc-half
Of the absentees been present to GIL our ex-
hausted ranks. Is this evil remediless
II it is not, tho FIRST duty Of the Govern
ment is to correct it. IF the forces which
we have already enrolled are not sufficient
to repel the invaders, then the Congress
cannot too soon provide for an additional
enrolment; but, if by arresting the evils
Of struggling, unauthorized absences and
assertions, the armies in the field can be
rendered equal to the emergencies of the
service, then there ought to be no addition
al enrolment, because the social and indus
trial interests Of the country require that
every man whose presence in the army Is
not needed there, should be permitted to
remain at home. - Columbus Times.
