ATLANTA, GEORGIA:
MONT)AV EVENING, JUNE 22,1862.
I'm of Canlr}.
Tie Yankees fcavejuat discovered tliat ihey have un
dernted Mio r. Jue of rnrrfry. Tl>» testimony of
croud* of militivy ntwnei is adduced to prose aa
auoliavid«.rcmay demonstrate that cavalry instead of
being attelp wav a hindrance to military operations,—
Q oeral Scott declared, at the outset of the contest,
that cavalry wav of no u-a in auch a war as that
in which we are ougaged. To the Federal report on
the conduct of the war, Orneral P. Richardson testi
fied that for ax army of tSujrbO mao. four reg'monts of
Coralrj weald be enough, adding tkatof the volunteer,
cavalry, -1 think If the horses canid he told at auction,
and yon could put the men on foot as infantry, ,t would
be better."
Oenrral Heintr.clman testified that ooedrnT the cav
alry that is a. rose the river would be sufficient for the
army, and states the nuteter as necrsaaiy at 12,000.
Ocncral I'm. B. Franklin said, “I Imre mmydivi-
aian now one regiment of cavalry. I would he glad to
got rid of twodfcirdj of that regiment which numbers
at tout 1,000 men '•
General McDowell thought that two regiments of
cavalry would be amply sarficient for three d visious
of en army corps. Generals .Slocum, Casey, Win. F.
Sini-h all testified to the same effect.
A'VsnkfC editor, he ol the Ereniny fieri. conclude* that
all this evidence hen proved deceptive-that Confede
rate-victories are a tribal:,Me to ctvalry—that we
have taught them a letooo in title respect—that Gene-
ntl Scott with all this arrty of witnoites. has drltvcred
eronr »u» opinion*.
Bat Is not the inferen :e from tin t testimony the re
verse of that dr|«n ? |* It nut founded on the quali
ties end capacities of Northern ni, rt for the battle-
fi ‘hi I la not the experience of General fcott and the
most able of the Yintt-e commanders, based on per-
* n si knowledge that the requisite material is abveni

die? The cavalry of the 3 nth are to the ••manor
born.'* They constitute the chivalry of its nrmy, not'
in an exclusive sense, but generally. The inference,'
therefore, is that the Yankee Generals seeing that the
.attempt to improvise a, cavalry force ws attended
with-a vast expenro without corresponding results.-

moke a few remarks Onr correspondent Is,, in our
judgment,clearly | B error, when he tries to make It tip-

Ihil punishes by fine or imprisonment, or both, some
crime commit led,. f which n person has been convict

Tne act in question is nothing more nor lees than a

quire tnon. to pay a fee tor license to keep a h’ tel, re

d -r any pretext
The tax imposed, h..Wi ver, by the act complained of,
is very light, and no man’a profits are taxed who has
made less than 20 per c-nt. profit upon the capital in
verted. When it amounts to Eli per cent, the t-ix is
only ;V> cents on every t ’00 profit, and when the profits
ar. 100 per cent, the tgx is only $5 on every $100 of net*
profit. Realty this tax I, very light, and when we con-
aider the sacred object to which the money raised by
this tax it already npprop tated, we hope no one will
refute to make a foiififal return of his profits, or to pay
tho tax; and that no man iu Georgia will attempt to b'v’e

Capt. J. N.Jjaaiel:
1 >i ia meI have t'te honor to acknowledge the re
r-eipt of - tc* resolutions adopted by theZoth tegim-irt of
Texas Volunteers, infantry, in ntsss meeting assem
bled. and presided or. r by you, nominating me ututii-
1 moldy for Governor of Texas
This unanimous nomination for tie high a position,by
those who have had an opp.rtunity to know me well
through a constant association of more than a year in
t’ e army, implies a respect for meanil a confidence in
me, ef which f feel gratefully proud.
h ntertaining the Highest respect for your wishes, as
Indicated in the Resolutions, 1 fet-1 co strained howev
er to reply that 1 cannot get the consent of my mind to
submit toy t ante for that position nt this t ime.
I am in the srmyiilling.it is true, nn bumble "posi
lion in it I take upon myself my full share of responsi
bility tor the oxlstoneeof this war. 1 voted for seces
sion; and w hen 1 voted for it 1 did it in all go. d con-
science, and wt-h the firm conviction on my mind, pub-
licly expressed nt the lime, that jnst such a »ar na we
now have would he Ihe result. When 1 voted for the
act of accession, I expected to fight for the principle of
It. I was not one of those wt o believed that a stent
country fifce the United States, so closely boimn to
gether by a common government and a common histo
ry; so ramified hycomtnou interests; so tied together
by radroads, telegraphs and rivers—by social and com
mercial intercourse; with so much lunatic ism in otic
section, and so much determination in tho other, and
so much hate in hath; I,ay I was not one of those who
could believe that such a country and auch people
could ptssitly *opiirate into distinct governments'
withotitn.co'lislon of arms. To tny mtua .-.ttcli nn idea
was nnidlo tlream, n theory at war with the history of
the wot id and blind to the true character of mankind.
This war, iu its magnitude, has not exceeded
my expectations, nor ha* it yet reached the pe
riod ot its antiolpatid duration.
It has taken two years of terrible war to teach
tlie people of the North that -these Coniuderaie
States canot be conquered and held a* subjugated
provinces. It will probibiy take two years more
to rttnvinco that (he last man will perish in Ihe
lost ditch rather than consent id live with them
under the tame government in any .event. Iu
m) opinion, much of this war. and bv far.ihe
darkest period of ii, is still before us. Perhaps,
before it closes, every arm, of whatever og • or
condition, able to should a musket or to wield a
Idsde, without any exemptions, will be called
into the field. All we have and all we rail have,
property, family, liberty, life'; country, all that
men hold dear on earth, are involved in the res
suit of this, the mightiest struggle of modern
times, if not of all lime. That we will triumph
gloriously in the end, I never, for one moment
entertained a doubt.
--irarihis v wr nriflnanneircn think »f golfing
nut of the service, or to exchange a place ill the
army, however humble, lor a civil position,' how
ever cxaltt-d. These considerations, added to
more than one year's service, first as a private
in the ranks, and since as a subaltern officer, has
failed to satisfy me that there is now any better
Itlaeo to serve my c .entry in than in tlie Con*
lederaut army—even in the humble position I
now hold.
Trustify that the course I-have adopted will
be satisfactory in the regiment so ready to honor
me, and lo other friends, both in and out of the
army, who have expressed to mo a like desire, I
am, very sincerely. Your* friend,

Editors Sontha'n Confederacy:
Allow me, through your columns, to say a
few words in reference to the income tax a t
passed by the last Legislature. We find in the
Constitution of the State of Georgia the follow
ing words: ӣx post facto.laws, and laws ini-
paiting'the obligation of contracts, and retro
active legislation irjurionsly affecting the right
of the citizen, are prohibited.” la not the act
in question retro active t it wao assented to
April 18ib, 1863, and yet it goes back, in ita op
eration, and affects all business transactions of a
certain class from April 1st, 18u2, to.April 1st,
1863. It seems, t'ten, very clearly to be retro
active. Does it injuriously affect tho right ol
the citizen? If I make a reasonable income by
trading or manu'acturing and you do the same
in some other pursuit, is i; not an injury to my
rights to require me by law to pay a.patt of that
income ior the support of a certain class of pur
population, to whose support we sro equally
bound to contribute, and exempt you? Would
it not be making me pay your debt ? And if so,
wonld not my rights be injuriously affected ? It
seems very plain that they would,
b Again, the provision of the Constitution
Above quoted lorbida the enacting of ex post
facto laws. The phrase ex pott facto it under
stood to have application to penal laws only.—
But U not ihe income tax act penal in its char
acter t Will any man doubt but that the legis
lature meant to punish men who, as ia supposed,
have been making large profits bv trading or
manufacturing ? If a man. has realised a profit
of 2000 per cent, on the capital invested, the in-
cqme tax will exhaust all hia profits. If he has
made a larger per cent, profit, ii will lake all and
bring him in debt. Can that be called a tax
law which, ia certain cases, may take all a man's
profits, exhaust his capital, and leave him in
debt I It is very evide.it that, whatever the hill
may have been christened by. its framers, if is
eesentisily a penal law, 'and tbe simple fact oi
its being ex-poet facto renders it null; lor the
Constitution of the State aays: ‘^Legislative
acts in violation of the fundamental law are
void; and-1 he Judiciary shall so declare them.”
I have no doubt tho Judges will so decide if a
case shall be submitted to <bem.
1 did not set oat with ihe view of making an
elaborate argument, but simply to make, iu as
concise a manner as possible, the points ai-ove

To Tax R- reivers and
Collectors of this State:
In consequence of tho imperfections of a
portion of tbe Stale Income -Tax Act, I have
received from hia Excellency, tho Governor,
tho following communication, directing - me to
isruu certain eider* to you, viz :
EXECUTIVE DEPARTMENT, >
Milledgetrille, Ga., June 15th, 1863 J
Col. P. XnwEATT, Comptroller Control:
I am informed that fioms wealthy individu
als ami corporations, who have made very
Urge profits during the year, from 1st April,
1662. to let April 1868, refuse to give.in their
tax returns under the Income'fax Aet peased
18.h April, 1863, as they are of opinion that
the penalty fixed by Uw, for auoh refusal, is
left* than tho tax due under the act; whiie
oth rs with loss capital, wno have probably
labored harder, are obliged to give in and pay
tho lax on all they have made, as they are not
able l? pay the penalty for refusing to make
their returns. It is generally understood that
the penalty ia $5,000. This depends upon tbe
proper construction of the third seotion of the
aot, which deelkres:
•'That if- any .person, or body corporate,
shall fail or refuse to make a return of hia,
her ur their profits made or realised as afore
said, he, she, or they shall be held to have
made the eum of $100,000, and shall be taxed
»e.<or Jitrgly.”
The defect in this seotion is, that it does not
any »• what per oent. he shall he held .to have
made Ute $100,000. If at 100 per cent., then
the penalty is $5,000. But if at 1,000 per
cent, it is $50,000.
Upon a careful review of (hr whole alalule,
I adopt ihe latter construct' •'h. aud ho’d that
this ia the penalty or tax assessed for refusal
to make a return.
Ill ,ne qth section, it ispiovidcd that a person,
or M? 'rerporste, chsrg< d with having made a
laiso return, and reluaina a produce his or their
books of entry, if they kept any, shfcll be held to
have mido 1000 per cent, upon $100,000- Con
struing the twoeecifonv toct iher, I think it a
lair conclusion, thm ii.c pi - c, r.t. which aperson
refusing to make a return e!,a!I be presumed to
have made, was intended lo bo as large, ib that
which a person refusing to produce his books of
emry, ia presumed to have reaRxed.
The conclusion seems, not only to be warranted
by the nsal Title* .of construction, but it can
work no injustice, as no ofe* ran be compelled
to pay the tSOftOO, who wilnBake a lair return,
and pay the amount of lax which the .Statute
requires him to pay upon his actual income.
He who refefses to make the return, may bo
safely set down as having made proGts so large
as to auhjocrhim to more than $50,000 of tax.and
he ia not injured by being compelled to pay from
a sum less than the lex which would bo dun to
him if he obeyod the law arid gavo in aa other
citizens dp.
You arc, therefore, directed to order tbe Tax
Collectors of the respective coumics ol this
Slate, to assess and collect a lax of$50.000 Irom
rach person, or body corpora's in this State,
who shall fail or refuae to make a return of hi
ker, or iheir profi’s, made of relived as aforesaid.
1 am also informed that some persona in ihe
Siato who commenced with a very small capital
huvo insdo several thousand per cent., durina

' Knoxvili.x, June 20.—Six regiments of Yan

a battery of artillery, in ail amounting to 3000,

tbe Mtb Virginia regiment, was in command of
oar forces. After a spirited engagement ol one
hour and a half, our batteries drove tlie enemy
from the field with heavy lots. Our loss was
six killed and wounded. Wc regret to state that
cipttin McClung of tbia city was killed. The
enemy tore up the railroad track and cut the

Lieut. Colonel Maitin, who still occupied
his position on Ihe left, waa ordered forward
to ihiealen the righ. of the enemy. At the
samo lime, I ordered \he command under
Colonel Uauc to move up, dismount and attack
the enemy vigorously immediately in their
front; Colonel lireokuiaidgo was ordered, to
move to the right with his oommand and at
tack their extreme left; Captain Quirk, in the
meantime, had been ordered to get on the
|Pikc, immediately in the rear of the enemy,
.to out off oouri-rs and threaten the enemy,
whieh ho did in a most ealb/oHory manner,
I capturing 16. or 20-prisoners. He remained
in the rear of the enemy until reinforcements
[came to them from Murfreesboro,Vboing only
13 miles distant,) yrhen be was driven baok.
When our artillery opened, the whole com
mand moved forward. .Colonel Mar in charg
ed up in most gallant stile, and had a number
of bis horses killed will! cam-tor, as ihe guns
of the enemy vrero tumid npon him. The re
mainder of the oommafd waa moved up to
about one hundred yards of the main column
of the Federala and dienteunled and went bold
ly up, the enemy’s artillery'being at this
time removed from the Fiko to a position upon
tne (op of the bill immediately in their centre;
but this was not accomplished until it came
near being captured by Col. Grigsby, who was
within 50 yards of it aud moving rapidly up
on it, when his ammunition given completely
out, he was forced to halt and the battery was
sav d. It was near this point thst Col. Na
pier was severely Wounded while cheering
and leading his met! up ; Col. Grigsby was
also wcuaded while in front of his command
and enci uraging his men; at the same
time the firing from Ihe centre line
nearly ceased; a few scattering shots now and
then gave evidence that prarly all Ute am
munition was cxha&sted! Five more rounds I
would have made our victory complete, and
two thousandFcderald have been the result
of the day’s fighting. Finding that none of
the command had any ammunition, I ordered
them to retire, which was dune in perfect or
der, the enemy not firing h shot or following.
We fell back to Milton where wc met an am i

that had been sent the.,day before from Mc-
Mianville, bat Owing to the condition of ihe
reads bad been detained. With the addi
tional artillery and ammunition I determined
to make a second attack, being tatisfied that
wo would succeed in capturing tho entire
torcc of ihe Federate. In ac ordance with this
rc-olution I moved my entire fpicq.lo ihe-
front, keeping Lieut. Col. Martin in theasmeJ
position occupied by hftn in the first engage
ment, nn I sending Col: Gano’s entire c ua-
ntand to the right, The artillery took post
lion in about 800 yards of the enemy’a bat-1
tery, and commenced a rapid and severe' lire
upon them. They had again taken position
on thdpike, from which they were soon (Liv

of my battery. Our pieces were served with
the greatest precision, and the men stood by
tbcdrgnns like veteran?. Although they ha I
but few men ia the fighf, the casualties were
two killed and eighteen wounded, showing
the determination with whioh thcyheld their

St. Fbaucisco, June 7, 1863.—The aleam-
ship Uonstitutlon has arrived from Panama,
bringing, via Acapulco, dates to the 18:h, and
from tho City of Mexico to the 19th of May.
On the 16th and 16th of May the French
wero repnleed before Fortress Carmen.
The garrison and inhabitants of Paebla
were reiluoed to a stalo of starvation, and
their ammunition entirely gave out before they
would consent to eurrender.
Gen. Ortega was greatly disappointed in
Gen. Comonfort not cutting hie way through
with supplies. ' '
On the 17th of May Gen. Forey sent a flag
of truce to Gen. Ortega, otfofflng to allow the
Mexican offioers and soldiers to inarch out,
the .officers with their side arms, provided
they would give a parole • net to serve against
tbe Frenih again.
This was refused by Gan. Ortega.
Meanwhile, Gen. Ortega spiked his cannon,
burnt his gnn carriages, destroyed tbe arms
of hht infantry and then sorrenJered as prig-
oners of war.
Gen. Regale and his aids, and also tbe ad
vance officers, preferring death to being pris
oners, committed suicide by thooting them
selves.
The advance of the French army is alCho-
lule, six miles from Paebla, on its way to tbe
capital.
The Mexicans are much embittered against
Ihe French.
All Frenchmen within.the oity of Mexico
have been ordered to leave the country within
eight days.
. Tho Mexicans are determined to defend the
approaches to thoir capital to the last, and
drive the invaders of their country baek
The greatest enthusiasm prevails among them
to engage in the oommon struggle, notwith
standing the disaster which befelthe garrison
at Puebla.
In San Francisco the houses of the Mexi
cans are draped in mourning, while the French
-have the tri-color everywhere flying.
The foregoing news is from Mexican sources.
A Yanks* View,
Qf President Danis Dismissing tin British
' ;. , Consul.
News of President Davis revoking the exe
quatur of tho British Consul at Riobmond,
has retched the North. The Washington
Chronicle, the organ of the Administration,
says: . .
About the broadest farce Mr. Jefferson Da
vis has yet performed bears date of Jane 6tb,
1863. Ox that day he issued “letters patent”
revoking the exequatur of Mr. Bichard Moore,
British Cunsul at Richmond. Anything more
ridiculous he could not have pence!. Mr.
Moore was never oredited to tho so called
“Cod federate Government,” hb consular com
mission being made out for the United States.
Some time ago he waa called upon by Mr D i
ets to submit his commission to tbe rebel See.-
retary'ot State. He knew hb poestion, how
ever, too well, whatever other fruits he may
have had, to be guilty of such a piece of folly.
Our Government not having rcogeiztd the
Confederacy, neither could no. -He was Con
sul to the United States, and to no other pow
er. Mr. Davis, findtbg that ruse would not
Miceefd, tow announces the revocation of Mr.
Moore’s exequatur; but as Mr. Davis did not
grant it, we presume Mr. _ Moore will simply
laugh, at his attempted revocation. The ludi-
orousaess of the whole tiling is, that as in or
der'to revoke the exequatur Mr. ■ Davis must
.acknowledge iu existence, .bespeaks of it as
having been granted by a “former government
authoriz'd to act as the agent oP the State of
Virginia,” meaning the' government of the
United States. Well done, Mr. Davis.
