EVILS IN OUR ARMY.
DUELING AMONG THE SOLDIERS, AND SOME
STRICTURES THEREON SMALL ARMS,
THEIR UTTER USELESSNESS, AND THE
TERRIBLE MISCHIEF THEY PRODUCE
THE WAR TAX ITS WISE PROVISIONS
JUDGE CABANISS TO BE APPOINTED CHIEF
COLLECTORS. FOR GEORGIA.
Richmond, Virginia, August 20,1861.
There is a growing evil in some of our Regi
ments which calls for exposure and condemna
tion. You will be surprised to hear that it is
dueling. An intelligent and reliable friend in
forms me, that he knows of two duels now on
the tapis between volunteers from Georgia. I
have heard of similar affairs among the troops
from other States. I know nothing whatever of
the parties to these quarrels—neither their names
nor the regiments to which they belong, nor the
counties from whence they came. What I may
have to say, therefore, can have no personal ref
erence to the gentlemen engaged.
A volunteer is a person who freely and of his
own accord offers his services to his Govern
ment to defend its territory and maintain its
rights and honor upon the field of battle, if nec
essary even unto death. When he enters the
army, he binds himself as a soldier and a man
of honor to square his conduct by the rules and
regulations adopted for the government of the
army. He obligates himself to obey those who
are in authority, to do whatever he may be com- (
manded to do, to go wherever he may be order
ed, to advance, retreat, fight or run, or do what
ever else his official superiors may think is best.
In other words, during the term of his enlist
ment, he parts with all control over himself, and
transfers to the Government all his faculties and
energies, mental and physical, subject only to
the terms of the law in such cases made and
provided.
There is another obligation he takes upon
himself, which, though not expressed, is im
plied, and of equal force with the foregoing. It
is, to inflict all the injury he can, under the rules
of war, upon the enemy, and to promote, in all
proper ways, the welfare of his own Govern
ment, its people and its army. If any one in
fringes upon his own rights, whether he be a
private and below him, or an officer and above
him, he has a full, complete and ample remedy.
The rules of the army, which he agreed to ob
serve when he entered it, provide a suitable tri- 1
bunal where his wrongs may be promptly vin- 1
dicated and his rights respected and enforced. 1
What right, then, has any soldier, whether
private or officer, who has thus disposed of him
self to his Government, to send a challenge or J
to fight a duel during the term of his enlist- '
ment? He has volunteered in the service of the ’
Government, and has taken up arms against the '
enemies of that Government. Nay—as in this
war—he is fighting in the sacred cause of liber
ty, and against a corrupt, licentious and vindic
tive enemy. All that man or woman holds dear
is at stake. Before the volunteer stands the
armed foe of his country. Will he move him
self forward to meet that foe, as he has bound
himself to do? or will he turn aside, and for
some trivial, technical offence of a private na
ture, seek the life of his brother volunteer in
the same holy cause ? If the wrong be slight, a
brave man may overlook it. If it be gross and
grievous, there is the court-martial—let him
apply to that. If it be of a character that can
not be reached by that tribunal, let him adjourn
the quarrel until the common enemy shall be
beaten back and the national wrongs vindicated.
But if he must fight—if he must have blood, and
can’t wait—then, in the name of all that is ra
tional and patriotic, let him strike at the foe in
front, and not at the brother on his right hand
or his left.
With an enemy in the field, no man should be
tolerated in the army one day who would send,
bear, or accept a challenge. He is no friend to
his country, but its enemy. He makes war upon
its friends. He thirsts for the blood of its sol
diers, and so far as he is concerned, leaves the
enemy free to burn, to pillage and to murder. —
What more can the enemy do ? What more
docs he do ? 1
There is another evil which requires correc
tion, but which has gone too far, I fear, to be 1
entirely extirpated. I allude to the practice of
carrying side arms by volunteers. The musket
and the bayonet are the true weapons of the
soldier. They arc the best, too—the best for
offense and for defense. All other weapons are
in the way, are seldom used, frequently lost,
and instead of adding to, really detract from the
effectiveness of the soldier. I made special in
quiry among the men who were engaged in the
battle of Manassas, and I could not hear of a
single instance where a pistol or a bowie knife
had been used, except one. In the exceptional
case alluded to, a regiment had been ordered to
fall back, and a captain of one of the companies
who was reluctant to retire, fired off his revol
ver at the enemy, three hundred yards distant,
byway of expressing his defiance. It is rare
that the approaching forces get near enough to
each other to justify a resort to side arms, and
when they do, no other weapon ever invented
b equal to the bayanet. It is said that there is
no instance on record, where an army has ever
successfully withstood a bayonet charge prop
erly directed and made with determination.—
Raw volunteers, however, who do not appreci
ate the great value ot this weapon when they
get into close quarters, are liable to be thrown
into inextricable confusion by relying upon their
revolvers, which are of as little use against a
well directed charge, as so many pop-guns would
be in staying the onward sweep of an avalanche.
But the greatest evil arising from this practice
is the constant bloodshed to which it leads.—
Scarcely a week passes that we do not hear of a
difficulty. Involving life or limb, all of which
can be traced to thia wretched practice. Ido
not mean that these things occur in camp and
after the soldier has taken his position in the
army. It Is on the road, and at many sta
tions, and especially at this and other points
where he is halted for a week or two before en
tering into active service, and where he can get
any quantity of the meanest kind of liquor. A

niac; and the authorities ought to see to it, that
no more men be suffered to enter the service
unless they leave all such weapons at home,
where they may be needed. A pistol is a part
of a horseman’s equipment, but it is not a legit
imate weapon in the hands of the infantry.
You will find in the papers of this morning
the Tax Act recently passed by the Confederate
Congress and sanctioned by the President. It
received the vote of every member of Congress
present, and should receive a like unanimous
support from the people. A great war like that
in which we are engaged, cannot be carried on
without money. Our liberties are at stake; and
if we do not succeed, every life and every dol
lar’s worth of property in the South will be at
the mercy of the North. - The tax is wisely ar
ranged, and falls lightly upon the poor. This is
right; for the poor are doing their duty nobly
upon the field, and this they could not do, if the
tax were of a character to require their labor at
home to raise the means to meet it. The object
of the tax is to provide a fund to pay the prin
cipal and interest as it may accrue upon the
Treasury notes provided for in the act. To this
end a direct war tax of fifty cents upon every
one hundred dollars in value is imposed. Where
the amount'of taxable property owned by the
head of a family does not exceed in value five
hundred dollars, no tax will be required.
Each State will constitute a tax division, over
which shall be appointed, by the President, one
Chief Collector, who shall be charged with the
duty of dividing the State into a convenient
number of collection districts, and of appoint
ing a collector for each of said districts. The
salary of the Chief Collector is $2,000. It is a
very important office, and your readers will be
glad to hear that their Congressional delegation
have recommended to the President the ap
pointment of Judge Cabaniss, of Monroe coun
ty, as the collector for Georgia. A

UP TIGERS ABOUT THE CORPORAL TA
KEN FOR ONE FIGHTING THE “ TIGER”
AND LOSING THE “ RED.”
Caup Davis, Lynchburg, Va , )
August 18th, 1861. J
Dear Confederacy: As I write you, a thou
sand lights from our different camps illumine
the bill tops and plains, and the merry songs
and ludicrous jests are heard on every side,
while the pleasant breeze, blowing pure and
fresh from the mountains, revives the spirits
and invigorates the frames of our men. Around
rude pine tables the soldiers are enjoying their
rations of beef, ham, bread, Ac., besides dis
cussing the war with a vim. “I tell you,
boys,” says one, "the 7th and Bth pitched into
them, and so will all the Georgians.” "The
8. C. Legion,” says another, "is my favorite;
for they went at double quick right over them,
and next to them the Tigers.” "Give me the
death of a Bartow,” saya a third." "I had
rather be a dead Bartow than a live Yankee,”
says a Colonel. This talk, and a great deal
more is said all over the camp. Nothing is
thought of or talked of but fight, fight, fight;
and verily the spirit animates them, and the
flesh is not weak. The cry is, when shall we
move? where to? and the wish is, that we
may be placed where the bullets fly thickest,
and where death claims us fastest. Our hearts
are nerved for the fray, and with a firm reli
ance on Providence, a determination to "con
quer or die,” we await our onward march. I
feel more and more convinced every day that
this conflict cannot last—that we are becom
ing more and more invincible. In truth, as
the Virginians say, we will burn every bale of
cotton, tumble our sugar info the Mississippi,
and our tobacco into the Potomac, yet the spi
rit of our people is not overcome. If we are
rebels, we will always be rebels.
Our encampment is this evening unusually
active in consequence of the advance of the
11th Virginia Regiment ou to Fairfax C. H.—
This regiment is one of the finest in the ser
vice, and the State is proud of this well-drill
ed corps. They drill entirely by the bugle,
and by this means their orders cannot be un
derstood by the enemy, who, by the ordinary
method, might counteract the movement.
We conclude the bombardment.of Washing
ton City a certainty, and in the event of its
capture, we predict that from thence to Balti
more will be one continued battle field, rival
ling in its grandeur any of the great cam
paigns of ancient or modern history. Then
we will see our little sister, Maryland, rising
as a little star above the horizon of her future
destiny, and shaking the dew-drops of tyr
anny from off her down-trodden children,
proclaim her magnitude, and move within
her prescribed orbit beside her twelve sister
planets. What an upheaving of the masses
there will then be! What joy over the lost,
but now found, prodigal .' Every bush will
become a musket, every house a fortress, and
every inhabitant a freeman ! ’Tis worth the
fight to gain for her this liberty ; and the
sword that shall sever the last tie that binds
her to the old Union, is now poised, waiting
for the same hand that led us at Manassas to
strike the blow. I weary you in this digres
sion, but I do feel for the goodly people of
Maryland, and long to see them free.
The health of all in the camp, ao far, is very
good, though I am sorry to see so much sick
ness at other places. Typhoid Fever is get
ting to be quite as formidable an antagonist as
the Lincolnites. Our boys at Staunton, Mon-
Urey and Manassas are suffering badly with
this epidemic, though the measles is raging
more at Manassas than anywhere else. The
i people of the cities and towns are doing all
they can to alleviate their sufferings. A good
many **U never see the dear familiar faces of
the loved ones at home again, and yet it is
but the fortune of war, a great lottery, where
Death secures all the prises. Severe cold* are
prevalent among us here, in consequence of
eur change of latitude, bat as the winter ap
proaches, we hope to be free from all disease;
we have this assurance from Virginians who
know this to be the fact.
I had a visit to day from Capt. Johnson, of
the G. Vs; alsb, Lieut. the same
company. Both these gentlemen, from their
smiling faces, rosy cheeks and healthy look,
are getting acclimated fast, and assure me
that they are the poorest sample of health to
be found in the whole regiment. So, you see,
the boys love Georgia health very well, but
Virginia health better.
I have had no time, as yet, owjng to multi
plicity of duty, to pay a visit to my Erin
friends, but the health of the whole corps is
excellent, and must be so; for one of the
Guards, after discu-sing two fowls,-sundry box
es of sardines, bread, tomatos, and two dezen
of the “praties," declared that " he could get
nothing to ate, the doctor, owing to his weak
state, had prescribed too little, and they must
double his rations, or he would have to go on
the sick list.” Judging from this, I should
declare on oath, in a court of justice, that the
Jackson Guards were in good trim, and, de
pend upon it. they will make bullets fly as
fast and thick a3 our foes desire them.
Col. Boyd has been quite sick, but is now
convalescent. He is being entertained at a
private house, and is very comfortable. And
here I must speak once more of the bospita'i
ty of these 'V irginians. It appears to be on
the advance every day, and verily it is un
bounded. When it .became the
officers of our company could not draw rations
from the Government as long as we were near
a place where we could purchase them, sev
eral gentlemen of this city kindly offered to
furnish them with the best their tablas afford
ed at their own houses. Behold us, then, dear
Confederacy, ensconced at every meal beside
a pure specimen of the Virginia gentleman
and Virginia lady ! See with what care they
lavish every attention upon us, and are en
tirely too fearful of their inability to please !
I eat, and eat, yet I must take more, for I am
pressed so kindly. First the in
sists, then the lady, and last, though equally
pressing, comes the invitation from the daugh
ters. The fact is, we are getting spoiled, far
ing too well; and as an instance, I cite you to
our Lieutenant, J. D. Gilbert, who has actually
grown so large and weighty, that when we go
to roust him for reveille, we do not know where
to find his head, being equally as thick as
long; and the Surgeon is getting sorely puz
zled at this extraordinary case.
The name of this kind family with whom
we fare so well is Johns, and no matter in
what part of this continent I may be thrown,
whether as soldier or civilian, I can never for
get their hospitality ; and coming, as it does,
to entire strangers, I appreciate it the more.
There are some of the “Tigers” in the city,
and in consequence of leaving Manassas with
out leave, they were all ordered to be arrested.
One of our Corporals went to the city, and hav
ing on a red shirt and Zouave cap, was forth
with halted and commanded to go to the Bars.
On inquiring the reason, the reply was, that
they had orders to arrest all " Tigers," and
our Corporal protested that he was no Tiger,
never saw a Tiger, didn’t resemble one in the
least, in short, hadn’t the remotest idea what
a Tiger was. It was no go-a scuffla ensued,
and in the scuffle our Corporal proved a real
live Tiger, for he gained his liberty, and, I am
happy to state, is now quite tam«Han.d is etill
of the opinion that he never fought a Tver
but once, and then " lost every red." ± More in
cidents in my next. Yours, '

A Trophy !
By some unaccountable neglect, allmention
has been omitted of one of the most remarka
ble and characteristic trophies, which our ar
mp took from the Chinese at ths Battle of Man
assas This was a drum, manufactured in Pek
in, 9 feet across and 15 feet high—and suppos
ed to be the most gigantic animal of the kind in
the world. It was intended for the grand,
and final victorious charge—which was plan
ned in this wise : All the Gorgs of the Grand
Army were to beat at once—the Gigantic
Guns were to be discharged, simultaneously
with the stin-guns and batteries of Balloons,
then the whole army was to perform the favor
its Chinese manoeuvre of the turning the som
ersault directly in the face of the enemy, ac
companied by the overwhelming volume of
sound from the monster Drum. It was very
reasonably presumed, that this demonstration
would be irresistible. But, luckily for us, the
Celestials became panic stricken before they
had got their terrible engines ready, and fled
ingloriously, without sounding the fatal Drum
or turning the decisive and invincible sum
erset !
We have the Drum and hope to din it into
their ears before many Moons.— Richmond

Concert by the Atlanta Amateurs, composed
of ladies, gentlemen and misses, from our
sister city, passed off last night, with entire
satisfaction. Our citizens turned out in goodly
numbers, and the reception the different per

pleasing to the recipients. The entertain
ment as a whole—for we have not time or
space for lengthened remark—was at once a
plensing and novel melange, combining mirth,
melody, and striking and beautiful tableaux.
We feel assured a repetition at an early day
