Hakkr, above quoted, will be 13,00 men. The exce. furni.-hed by the St ite over lormer call i al most double the quota under the last, yet it is not unlikely that, under the operation of the section quoted from the act of February 21th, liC4, as construed by the Frovo-d Marhal General, the draft may fall udou a number of counties that have failed to d their part. A before stated, the liabilities and ci edit of each county will be given a soon a the necessary data can be pro cured in the Aojutant General office, and when that hu been done, the quota of each county can be approximately distributed among the evenl townships or ward, in cities.

The journal of Nashville concur in holding up the late election in l ennessee as a miserable sham. This remarkable concurrence itself speaks dunning volumes against the proceeding. The Xahvillc Union, in an article entitled .'Cheiting Ourselve," sys: "We might a well speak out plainly, und con fes to the world, that what was called an election. Saturday, nt leat so far s Nashville i concerned, wa a seriou farce. And it would be well if those in authority would oberve a like candor, and thereby pave scandal to the government, or least to tin udminUtratiou. Very few of the original Union men voted at all, for they had warning iu advance that fraud like thoe practised by King Isham G. Harris, and hi minion would be used. Thev had denounced the rebel fiaudsof (il.and were not willing to compliment the devil by adopting hi pro gramme. In a public meeting called "unconditiou Union." it had been announced by the May or of the city, as reportef by a city paper in strong sympathy with him. "that ('uarterma ter and their clerks, and all thr noldirrt and Government employee, who hd been resident of the county six month, should nsit in the election id' loyal men " A reported by miother paper. Judge Hrien, (a irentleman appointed Ciiminal Judge by the Military Governor), lent his legal weight to the new doctrine, by joining iti a declaration, that "all persons who had been in the count v six months whether soldiers or citizens had a r:j;ht to vote the ticket." "A meeting which ratified the caucus t.ornini tions, Thürs lay night, immediately preceding the election, appointed a committee to a -Ttain who ate ti.ti'le-i to v te at the coming election, nr.d to instruct thr iudirs occur ?iii ?l !

A a proof of its strength und of the hold it has on public opinion, I will mention the runnerou demonstration of sympathy which the rebel President and hi cabinet received on the occa sion of the pretended bloody manifesto which was found in Dihlgren's coat t.ocket a manifesto which, a printed in the Richmond journal, threatened Jttf.

Thi. it is true, is a feudal doctrine; but is cot feudality incarnate in the hurt of the Southerners, and reflected in all the act of their life? X.AIE MIL1TART CriKATlONs THE ATTACK ON DALTOX. I will ri d !eve Richmond and the accidents of it political existence without a ghnce to the m lit ary operations which have, during the last three weeks, thrown it whole popuUtio:i into an unprecedented state of excitement, and revetled mote than any precedent campaign the determination and energy of the rebels. I will not repeat here what I have already said concerning the defenses put up bv Lee in Virginia and by Johnston at Dalton. The late events have demon strateJ that neither one of these two general? mcd.t.ited a raid upon our line, but thai they were simply bent upon Inerea-ing the number of their works and of their intrerchments. The last attack of our troop against Dalton an atuck, perfectly useless, which ought not to have been undertaken, had the general iu command been as well informed s your correspondent is there to prove how truthful wa my information on that point. It is indeed a sore subject of reflection to know that any one of our army commander is at all times ready lo sacrifice five hundied soldiers for the sake of obtaining inform dinn which any man of intelligence may obtain without trouble or bloodshed six hundied miles from the battlefield oa which the sacrifice take place. Had Generil Palmer read the World he would h iv' ascertained beforehand that the rebel were in force at Dalton, well intrenched in a position to resist four times a strong a torce as that w hich he mnrched ngainst them; and he would not have

exposed the life of our brave -.d.Pers in a fruitless attempt. However, it would perhaps fie wrong to accuse that general of this mistake, inamuch that his advance was ma le in accordance with the pi in of the administration, and executed upon orders received from Washington Our repulst from Dalton. and the withdrawal of (icn. Graut from the command of the Armv ( f the Cumberland, i construed in Richmond :is a demon-tt a'i jn of our weakness, and of" tlie impossibility tor anv one of our ai aires to peaettate into Georgia. In the estimition of the rebel leaders. Gen Grant ha left Chattanooga because it wa impossible for him to win any more laurels iu that region, and becan-e he was nfraid to lose tho-e which he had wm To them Dil ton and the utvesion of fortified w oik. surrounding it, present insurmountable obstacle w hich no force can overcome or eonquer. "Gen. Thomas and his army w ill perish." they say, "if they attempt to operate against our hues." In front of them they have placed four brigade of cavalry, Rhoddy's, Patterson's, Hume's and D ividson's, to watch the movement ol the Union troop and give warning of their advance. Behind them, sever il miles in tln rear are Johnston's two corps of infantry, one under Hardee's, the othei under Hindm in' command. Hardee's division olln-trs aie General Walker. Cheatham and Claiborne; those under H'lidniin's orders are (ieneral Stevenson, Stewart ami Rites. These force, which miv amount on no average to about thirty five thou-.nd men. are protected by a reserve of tirteen thou tu I men. under command of General McCown and Walthall, now located at Rome and Atlanta. The distribution of bot lies of troops iu tho.-e place and elsewhere show evidently that Johnston has taken his disposition so as to avoid any turning movement on hi flanks, which I am told are a well fortified us hi front. LOXG-TRKtT 'S MOVEMENTS.. The mystery of Longstreet's minouvering, which has puzzled so many of our military w ri ters, i explained bv officers in Richmond in thi way. When Gen Orint had sent Gen Schofield, reinforced by Gen Slocum, to Knoxville, both ot the-e ollicers advanced on Longstreet's front with all tlieir forces, as If their intention was to give him battle. This, of Course. caued all the rebel cavalry to fall back upon the main column encamped at Bull's Gap, and produced an unavoidable disorder and contusion. At the -ime lime the nes re ached L-oigst i eet that General Grant was advancing with his wholearmy against Chattanooga, which made him believe that the whole ot tue Union force were in motion to crush him. In this juncture he deemed prudent to conti act his troopt, no as to facilitite their retreat, if the thing became nece-siry. In consequence, he fell back upon Greenville, on the Ten-ue-see and Virrini Itailroatl. with the heat! of his coltinn ie?:i;ig on Hull's Gap, which he h never abandoned. But as soon as the ad tidings of our fiilure it Dalton and elsew here b-ca me known. Lis cavalry started again tor the surrounding of Knoxt ille. spreading all over the valiev they had just abandoned. L ng-tteet himself rest. med his former position, thus exposing once fm ire Tennessee und Kentucky to an invii-iop of the rebels. TUK SIKOE OK MOBILE. The great, attraction of the hour among Southerner is now the siege of Mobile. Admiral Farragqt is pronounced to bo a second edition of Dupont and D ihlgicn, and thev predict to him the sam lesiilts as those obtained by those to ii-tinui-hed oilicer. Now that Snerm.an hi been driven out from Meridian, either by one cause r by another; that Grierson and Smith hive been put fmrs du combat; that our army in the S i;;tli has been disabled, and will not recover for at least three month from the severe blow it has re'-eivi'd in these fruitle-s expedition-, they feel confident that Mobile will not he taken. Mobile, thev ay, vulnerable on the land -ide, is impregn ible bv ea, and will b d'b the effort of the whole Yankee fleet. CLiricsfnii, which i tir easier 'o fake, has no? be'ii taken: eor sequtiiliv ihcie is no dr. gtr for Mobile.
