minds, and they will, almost to a man, demand a speedy termination of this war — would submit to almost anything rather than fight one day longer as they have been fighting. It is only by the force of bayonets that their army is kept together. Even that cannot prevent their deserters from flocking into Jackson by hundreds to take the oath of allegiance or to join the Union ranks. And I tell you what I know when I say that it will not be many days ere the entire States of Mississippi and Tennessee will be knocking loudly for re- admission to a Union which, not long since, they thought their puny efforts could quickly dissolve. They are talking of it even now. Speaking of being united, I tell you, by the eternal God, there was never a more truthful sentence than that of Douglas, "Those who are not with us are against us;" and I reiterate it, and add that those who are not with us should be hung, or should be with their Southern brethren, fighting with them.

The fighting strength of the Confederacy. --Mr. DeBow, editor of Debow's Device, has made a calculation of the fighting population of our country. He makes a very fair deduction for our losses in consequence of the position of Maryland, Kentucky, Missouri, and portions of Virginia, Tennessee, Louisiana, and Arkansas. He then shows that our male population between the ages of 18 and 45 amounts to 1,181,500. Deducting one-fourth for exempts, (a very large allowance,) we have $80,100 men. We have lost many men in the war; but the natural flow of our population has gone far to replace them. During the two years of hostilities not less than 120,000 males have passed from under to over 18 years of age. Mr. DeBow estimates, from these figures, that "in no event during a long war can the Confederate strength be reduced under 700,000 men, if the people are in earnest." This is an army ample for all our possible necessities.
From Tennessee. --On Sunday, 9th instant, three regiments of the left wing of Rosecrans's army advanced on and attacked Sparta. They were gallantly repulsed by Gen. Forrest, who had but one regiment of Tennesseeans. The enemy made three distinct charges, in each of which they were repulsed, and were finally routed, leaving their stead upon the field. Our information is that the enemy impressed from citizens buggies, carriages, and wagons to carry their wounded towards Nashville. Our lat the enemy impressed from citizens buggies, carriages, and wagons to carry their wounded towards Nashville. Our loss is reported to be only six. One of the enemy's regiments engaged is said to have been the 4th regulars. On the Wednesday of last week two regiments of Yankee cavalry appeared at Huntsville, remaining but a short time, and disappearing without doing injury to people property. Judge Robert L. Caruthers has been elected Governor of Tennessee, in place of Gov. Harriss.
