All, ~ correspondent who has secured and COM
Pnt-SI these tables remarks:-~
The Confederate army undoubtedly reached
its highest point, both in numbers and etn-
cienoy1 in the early summer of 1868, when Tue
movement into Pennsylvania was commenced
AT Ithe close of March, before all preparations
hnd been made, the returns show nominal
SSjrce of $4,000, of whom 34l 600 were present,
and 2Sl 600 present for duty Probably about
10000 were added during the next six weeks 10
the Army of the East; so that we may safely say
that at the middle of June there were o little
more than 100000 on the muster rolls, OF whom
100000 were present for duty.
In the first week of July they suffered losses
amounting to nearly 100000 men. AT the end
of the month Lee had only Al, 900 for duty out of
before; and In a month, by every exertion, he
could get together only $1,000 more, and out of
this Sc 000 all told, he forced to send $4,000
of his best troops to the West.
When in the spring of 1864 Grant opened his
campaign, Lee had only little more than
$4,000, and in August, when the siege OF Rich
mond was fairly opened, he had counting In
those present with him, though still nominally
belonging to the Department of North Caro-
lina less than 60 600. From this time the returns
show how prevalent became desertious from
The Confederate armies at the East and West.
In August out of a nominal force of $4,000,
there were not 200 900 present for duty in all the
armies. At the close Of February, the date of
the latest report in our possession. Lee out OF a
nominal force OF 16O,O0O, mad present.but 73,OOO,
and for duty but $4,000. More than halt We're
absent wholly, and little more than third
were present for duty.
Wejudge that in all 600, 600 different men were
in the different ranks during the war. or these
we do not believe one-half are alive this day.
Once in the ranks there was no escape except
by death, disablement from wounds or sickness,
or desertion. or the 100000 of the Confederate
sold ers yet alive, no man can say what proper
tion are wholly or in great part disabled by
wounds or disease.

According to this statement General Lee
entered Pennsylvania with one hundred thou
sand troops, but on returning to Virginia after
tne battle Of Gettysburg, he was able to muster
but forty-one thousand-a total loss OF tifty-nine
thousand. Gettysburg was indeed the turning
point p the struggle, and that and other dis
asters encountered during the summer months
of 1868 should have convinced the Southern
leaders of the utter folly of further resistance.
The following tables give in round numbers
the total number of troops In the Confederate
service at different times during the war;

that 81, 600 soutbern troops participated in the

Lee succeeded him. The following figures indi-

To Our Friends.

Where we have to pay cash for ink, paper,
composition, and all the heavy incidental ex-
pensos Of a printing office, we cannot afford
to send out papers without prepayment. 1t is
simply impossible. Each subscriber can very
easily pay three dollars a year for II weekly,
whereas the aggregate to US would be an
amount that few readers of a weekly paper
even dream Of. Already there are on our
books enough charges for advertising and
subscriptions to make Us independent if we
could get the money, and ye; advertisers and
subscribers are apt TO think it a matter Of
little importance, where the sums due from
them respectively are small, whether they
settle their bills or not. They .eem to look
upon the amouals as too Insignificant for n
second thought.
If our friends will but think a moment,
they will at once recognize the necessity of
paying the printer rs well as the market-man.
Neither the one nor the other eau get along
without being fed, and the feeding of one re-
quires money as well as the feeding Of the
other. We could increase our subscriptions
tenfold if we were to credit everybody ask
ing MS aud pledging Themselves that they
viii "pay up in a short time.
Our letter files, we regret to say, are filed
with such applications. We cannot credit
subscribers al over the country, nearly the
whole Of them unknown to rs, in fact entire

Conviction Of Judge Frazier.

Judge Frazier is inpeached. He is de-
posed from the Office Of Judge of the Crimi-
nal Court of Davidson County, and disqual-
fled for exercising the functions of any Of
fee in the State. After a careful ana i'm
partial examination of the evidence adduced
we have only to say that the tribunal by
which this verdict is rendered, has acted
impartially and in full accordance with the
highest dictates Of reason and right. The
Nashville Union and DjPatch is terribly ex-
ercised over tue sentence, but this only
proves the simple and undeniablc fact that
the rebels and conservatives are working to-
gether to achieve the downfall of the Radi-
cal party, and to force their obnoxious prin-
ciples upon the people Of Tennessee against
their wishes.
The conviction of Judge Frazier is bot a
warning to those entrusted with the admins
tration of justice in tins State, that if they
do not comply rigidly with their oath of Of
fee, they must suffer the penalty thereto at
tachsd. The proceedings Of this trial are
destined to be memorable in the history oil
Tennessee, and the name of Thos. n. Frazier
will 20 down to posterity loaded with oblo-
guy and shame, for his .otal disregard Of the
solemn oath which he swore upon induction
to Office aud the Partially and uniairness be
exhibited in the discharge Of the same. The
verdict is past and Judge Frazier is disgraced
and execrated by all Union men.

HaFk from the TOmbS.
The Hon. Thaddeus Stevens has written
the following letter, in viudicatioE OF his
proposed policy Of condscation.

A correspondent OF the Hickman Ky
Courier, writing from Dresden, Etheridge's
town, says;
Our all is c%eutered in our crops, for none
of US look forward with any degree of hope
to political prospects.
Notwithstanding the indefatigable, untir-
ing Etheridge, if unmolested, will do all that
can be done to redeem his loved anu oppres-
ed Tennessee, yet the apathy that has seized
upon and now possesses the people, III is
feared will greatly lessen his chances for sue
cess. We are induced to believe, however,
iroh what we learn from his discussion so
far, that he is arOusing the true people Of
" good old Tennessee to a sense of their
danger, and we can but wish most earnestly
that by some mishap or other he may Ie-
deem Tennessee yet.
The fact il, that neither Etheridge nor bis
more intimate friends have any hope of
carrying the State. They expect to be beat

sion acquitted Etheridge, ::(for gold glitters)
which Gen. Thomas then in command of tia
Department OF Cumberland, entirely dis
approved. lie Impressed it as a duty upon
all Radical Upion men to go to work to de-
feat the Conservative party, that their sue
cess would be a dire calamity from the
shock ofwbich it would be impossible for US
10 recover IN a century. The audience in
the grove numbered AT least eight hundred, a
goOdly number Of which were colored citi-
zens. The colored people listened with the
utmost attention, and prepared themselves
for casting an intelligent vote the LIST Thurs
day Of next August. Not one single colored
man did wen office in the Conservative audi
ence. They know. from the very reason of the
case that they are hopelessly undone and
doomed to a second slavery if the Radical
party are defeated, and consequently take no
concern in the coLvocations Of that party
whose corner stone is the dnnihilation Of
their race.
We are happy to say that Notwithstanding
in the morning there were some symptoms Of
a disturbance everything passed of quietly,
and both parties demeaned them selves prop
erly. The Radicals OF Washington County,
largely in the majority, have shown to the
world that they have no disposition to treat
with disrespec: any one who may come into
their midst to advocate the policy of the op-
posite party. The quietness with which last
Wednesday passed away shows conclusiyely
that the spirit tint animatcs the opposition
in their strongholds is quite different from
that which stimulates the Radical party
where they largely predominant.
At night Col. JoHrsG Brownlow, the ac-
comPlished editor Of thezEn oxyill, Why, adj
dressed our white and colored citizens at
the Court House. He pitched right into the
Etheridge-Johnson party and exposed It's rot
teaHes' and corruption ia capital style. He
briefly reviewed the political record of their
stellar lights, aud showed that the people Of
Tennessee would be horelesslv ruined if the
government should fall into their hands. lie
paid his respects to one John Baxter, the
Chairman OF the Conservative State Commit
tee and convicted him Of almost every
species of %yilliany known to the laws.
The Colonel explained and ably defended
the principles Of the Radical Union party,
and convinced his hearers that the prosperity
greatness and glory otour country depended
upon its success.
Thus ended another day Of triumph for
the Radical party. They had two advantages
over the conseryatives-one a lager audience
and that audience composed principally oil
voters. Some who came here Etheridge men,
went home with the determination to vote
for Gov. Brownlow, giving the very sensible
reason that they would support no nan, who

NEw YoRK, June 3.-The Herald's New
Orleans special says: The Juarez official
paper at San Luis Potosi has recently pub
lished alGthe official correspondence relative
to the safety of Macmillan, and comments
upon it in a manner that would seem to i'm
ply that the Arch Duke would receive no
mercy. The Juarez generals have strongly
protested against any leniency towards him
and it is believed this publication in the OIL
clal organ is with view to the justification
of the future course of the Mexican President
in conserving to his execution. Gen Sturin,
the Mexican agent here, who resides on Sta
ten Island, was sNrenaded by his Mexican
friends, on Saturday night. In his remarks
he says Juarez could not save Macmillan,
as the people demanded retaliation for his
barbarous decree. Gen. S. also said Mr.,
Seward had shown systematic opposition to
the Liberals, because a near relation Of his
was connected with an Imperial express COM
pany.
