y Curious CoMpAR1soN.-Tho num-
bers enlisted in tho present war, by tho
way, are curiously suggestive of the fact
that the world is getting no better fast
when compared with the number engaged
in former European wars.
At Marengo NS00) there were %, 600
French and 10000 Austrians; $1,000
killed or wounded
At Austerlitz, 10000 French, so, 900
Austrians and Russians; $4,000 killed or
wounded.
at Jena. 100, 900 French, 100, 900 prus.
slams; 81 900 killed or wounded.
At Wagram, $50, 900 French, 3O,OOU
Austrians; $4,000 killed or wounded.
at Borolino, 125, 900 Frcuch, 125, 900
Russians; 80, 600 killed or wounded.
At Leipzig. 100000 French, $50, 600

THE FRENCH AND PEUSSI.,N ARMIES
In the present war there nrc already
cngagcd 500, 600, of which the majority
by oO,OOO or more are on tho Prussan
side. at this moment Prussia has very
nearly II 1000, 0D0 available (armctl) men,
including garrisons, &c, and no doubt
France can, under stress, get nearly the
same number. But unquestionabIy the
late Prussan conluests have made
Prussia more round 40,00O,00O OF
population than France.

TIE POPULATION OF The
Savannah Ne,rs reports thnt the Assist
ant Marshals, appointed under the Cen
sus Act Of Congress, have completed
their la5ors, so far as the city is con-
ccrncd, and gives the following rs the
result:
The city was divided, for the purpose
of the census, into three divisions or dis
tricts, numbering Goth, 2lst and 22d.
The population thus reported by the
Assistant Aarshals foot up as follows:
goth Subdivision. ........ u, 325
Dist ub-Division. . . .(about) 49,. 5000
22d Subdivision. 1920
Total ,....... ....... 2S, 245
These figures fall far short of what
was generally supposed to be the popu-
lation OF the city. But the fact that a
large proportion OF the negro popula-
ton have forsaken the Insecure means of
livelihood i'll crowded city for more
certain work on the railroads, farms and
other rcmunerative employments in the
country--bcsides this cause, there is
another, the movable nature Of some
classes, from which many have been
doubtless overlooked. We have heard
Of several cases where residences have
not been visited Mt all. Summing up all
these omissions, the population of Su-
vannah may be placed ut 0,00O souls.
The oldest inhabtant of the city is II
negro woman, aged 1O2 years.

The Gnlrn,in ARRAY.

Mr.. William Exum, who shot and killed
James Harrison at Gallatin, on the 18th
inst, and was himself wounded, is a citi-
zen of Lebanon. The other parties to the
affray, Presbery Proctor and James Bran
ham, on the side of Exum, and the Harri-
son party, were residents of Sumner county
The Lebanon Herald, of yesterday, gives
some facts connected with the affair not
embraced in our account of it published
on the 18th. The Herald says:
The original cause Of the difficulty was as
follows Some time last April James Har-
risOn went in disguise to the house Of
Exum's mother, who lives in Sumner
county, and attempted TO rob her. On her
refusal to give up her money, Harrison
tried to force her to do SO, beating her Sc
verely with stick. During the scuffie,
Mrs. Exum saw Harrison's face, which had
become unmasked. Harrison left the
county Immediately after, and remained
away for several months. On his return,
he was arrested and bound over to court.
His trial came up on the 18th When the
court adjourned for dinner, the parties met,
and James Harrison commenced abusing
Proctor, who is Exum's uncle. A general
fight was the result, in which the par ties
named above were engaged. Harrison shot
Proctor in the arm. His next shot was at
Exum, whom he wounded in the right arm.
Exum Immediately shot Harrison, the ball
striking him in the breast and killing him
almost instantly Branham was slightly
wounded in the thigh.
The surviving parties to the difficulty
were arrested, and bound over, In the sun
of 81 900 each, to appear at the next term
Of the Sumner county Criminal Court.
Exum returned to Lebanon on the da,
after the difficulty. His wound is severe,
but no bones are broken, and he will moi
lose the use of his arm. His killing o.
Harrison was entirely in self-defence, and
even if he had not been attacked by him,
he would have been perfectly justifable IN
killing the scoundrel who had maltreated

A warning 90 Prevent Tricks and



By the following communication from
Justice Baskeste, it viii be seen that design
ing men are making a malicious effort to
deceive and mislead voters as to certain
provisions Of The amended Constitution 20
be submitted to the people tomorrow for
ratification. It is hoped that the friends Of
the new Constitution will closely watch and
guard against the tricks CT its enemies.
MEssRs. EDITORS Il have distributed
thousands CT copies of the new Constitu
ton in pamphlet form from my Office.
Within the past few days the cOlored peo-
pie have sought for it eagerly. I have Just
heard Of objections urged by them to the
new Constitution, which no doubt arise
from erroneous impressions as to some Of
its PROVISIONS 1t is well known that many
of the colored voters cannot read, and are
thus forced to depend upon others for their
information in relation to printed or writ
ten documents. In this way many
of them have been deceived as
to clauses, of the Constitution to be
voted for or against tomorrow. Its
enemies tell the colored men that if they
vote for the new Constitution, they cannot
sell or move their crops, unless they first
get permit to do so from the landlord
from whom they may rent; that they viii
not be allowed to hunt in the forest and
field, nor fish in any stream, unless per-
mission be first had and obtained from the
owners of land These are some Of the
resorts to which the enemies Of the new
Constitution have applied themselves 10

A SHARP LETTER,

The Captain General of Cuba is in a
fair way to realize that ''Jordan is hard
road to travel.' At all events, the Ameri-
can General of that name, commanding
the insurgents, has addressed to him let
ter of character that is not calculated to
flatter his vanity. The letter is written to
contradict statement which Jordan as
sumes was telegraphed from Havana, with
the knowledge of the Captain General,
that he (Jordan) was about to ''sell out"
to the Spaniards. We quote:
Sir, your Excellency has not received,
not even apocryphally, any such propo-
sitiOn-nothing that would have the least
similarity thereto, and which could have
any other origin than that of Havana.
If it is not SO l challenge your Excellen-
cy to lay the proofs before the United
States Consul at Havana. A soldier since
my adolescence, proud to belong to a
profession whose members of all civilized
nations am accustomed to recognize as
men of honor, to whom it is repugnant
to fight their enemies with unworthy
arms, came to Cuba expecting that even
the Spanish officers were gentlemen. But
| soon found, too truly, around me the
proofs that they were tigers rather than
soldicrs-but the skunk, not the tiger,
tries to annihilate his enemy with
filthy odors. When l have seen
the subordinates of your Excellency as
sassinate aged men, helpless women and
children, the sick in the hopitals, the
wounded on the battle field, the dement,
ed, which even the savage Indians res
poet and honor; yes, when l know that
| their practices are to inflict obscene mutt
lations on the corpses of their enemies
and commit incredible and diabolical
atrocities of all kinds, it should not really
surprise me that Spanish officers can be
found who soil an honorable profession
with false inventions like the one l treat
| of in this letter.
But was not prepared, sir, TO see 8
Lieutenant General and Viceroy of Spain
intend to bespattef his enemy with dirt
thrown by his own hands. Honorable
soldiers do not make use of such arms,
and leave the sad honor to your Excel
lency to be the first one to do so.
Nobody will believe you; the results viii
not recompense even the small amount
outlayed to give course to your false
hood.

Treaty.
The Senate to-day confirmed the nomi-

The Senate was engaged this afternoon
four hours and a-half in considering the
San Domingo treaty. MIR. Sumner opened
the debate Ia opposition to its ratification,
occupying the floor until the session ad-
journed, but giving way occasionally to
Senators who made brief remarks-based
upon answers to questions which they had
proposed to him.
The Senate will resume the subject to-
morrow, directly after the reading of the
journal The time for the exchange of the
notifications expires on the 29th inst.
j. P. O'Sullivan arrived here to-day di-
rect from San, Domingo, bringing inn
portant official dispatches, including the

VIM. Momtt vs.. Moses Cruise.

VIM. Mofht vs.. Moses Cruise.
Judgment on motion in favor of Cruise
against Moffitt.
Cruise was sheriff and Moffitt his dep
uty; and judgment, by motion, was OBJ
tanned against Cruise for the default of
his deputy, Moffitt, in the return of an
execution.
Upon this being done, Cruise made this
motion against Mof1itt and recovered
judgment from which Moffitt appealed.
The execution in regard to the return of
which the default occurred was issued and
returnable in 1861. The notice of the mo-
ton against Cruise was served upon him
Feb. 20, 1866, and was to the effect that
a motion would be made against him for
the cause above mentioned at the then en-
suing March term of the Circuit Court,
but specified no day when the motion
would be made.
No court was held at the regular March
term, 1866, or at the ensuing July term; and
at the November term, 1866, the motion
was entered, and the judgment rendered
against Cruise, as appears by the recitals
in the judgment, no further notice being
given to Cruise. The facts all appear by
bill of exceptions
This judment against Cruise must be
held void The notice given for the
March term would not Justify a motion
made and judgment entered without APP
pearance of the defendant, at the next
November term. Cruise did not appear
IN the cause, and the motion not having
been made at the March term, the cause
was not so commenced by the service of
the notice that it would be continued in
Court from term to term upon the failure
| TO hold the Court Cheatham VS.. How
ell, Yer, 312,
As to whether the notice in question
was sufficiently definite as to the time
when the motion would be made, to
authorize the Court to render a judgment
in case the defendant did not appear, it is
not necessary to decide.
The defendant, Moffitt, may be made
liable to Cruise upon motion for the
amount of valid judgment which might
be recovered against Cruise for Moffitt's
default as deputy. But the judgment
| against Cruise in this case was a mere
nullity, the Court having no jurisdiction
of his person and he was not bound to
pay it. A void judgment upon which
no liability of any kind existed against
Cruise would not authorize the rendition
of a judgment by motion against Moffitt
as his deputy.
The judgment rendered against Moffitt
in this cause was therefore unauthorized
by law, and it must be reversed and the
motion dismissed
