Milleugevills. Xoy. i2th, 1864.
Messrs. Soitoks .
Your readers b ve doubtless observed. Irom
the proctedinirs ot the General Assemby, that
there has bee i :ucb uneasiness felt on xc
eou .t of the pre- alence'of small pox in this
city. This hui interfered materially with the
dispatch of business, and continues to prevent
the cool deliberation so desirable in a legisla
tive body.
Notwiths andiirg this disturoing tact, unu
sual progress b-s been made in the number
ot bills disposed of during the first week ot
the session In the House, about one hundred
measures have oeen introduced, more than
halt of which hwe been acted upon. In the
| Senate, the number introduced is not over
, one fourth as large, and a few have been act
ed upon by both branches.
, The practice of starting so large a propor
tion of bills in the popular branch greatly
j retard? legislation. It crowds the calendar
, of the House, while the Senate, especially
duriug the early part of the sessiou. has but
I little to dti. It members of the House would
! allow Senators to introduce more ot their
j
; bills, it would facilitate the business aud great
| ly promote deliberate action. The press would
i do a public service by calling attention to this
! subject.
The measures regulating our military sys
j tem and providing for the public revenue are
of chief importance, and there is a general
disposition to perfect such measures prepara
tory to an early adjournment.
A bill relieving men over titty years of' age
from active service in the militia has been
adopted. It contemplated their employment
as a police force at home, but there is nothing
in the militia laws to authorize such duty to
be demanded of them. Such a provision will
doubtless be appended in the Senate ; other
wise, no duty can be legally exacted of them,
j Bills to make militia officer; between tbe
! ages of eighteen and forty-fire liable to con
! scription : to reduce the number of Justices
i ol the Peace and Constables ; the number of
j Judges of the Inferior Court; to turn over the
State troops to the Confederate States, have
| all i believe, failed in the House. They met
[ with considerable support, and all appear to
be founded in a correct estimate of the public
good. Our State military establishment is
becoming a grievous source of expense, and
it is very questionable it the benefits derived
from it are at all commensurate with its cost.
Tiie few. very few thousand militia now in the
service require a retinue of men, including
ai ls, officers, medical boards, hospital corps,
and various agents on all sorts ot bomb-proof
duty, probably fully equal to the number of
effective men in the ranks. The civil officers
alluded to constitute the recruiting officers of
the militia, and require about 5,000 men, over
half of whom are entirely' unnecessary in their
civil positions, and are not doing much toward
strengthening the miiitia force in the field.
The reservation of these, and of the State
line, for the protection of railroads, post and
guard duty, and the suppression of insurrec
tion. was more necessary when do Oonfede
; rate military operations were in progress in
; the State. But now that otir soil has become
j the theatre of active war, and the Confede
rate authorities have control of our defences,
aud men are so much needed, would it not be
as well to remove this useless wheel within
a wheel, and give the Confederate authorities
all our fighting men ? It cannot be denied
that much strength is wasted by keeping up
separate Sta-e and Confederate departments
ito accomplish the ?atne end. I trust I shall
not be heid to favor any odious scheme of
| consolidation, or to regard lightly the soveign
ty of the State. But we have selected an agent
: to raise armies and to carry on war;.may we
not properly confide to th at agent all thewar
-1 waging resource- that we can spare? Far be
it from me to charge Governor Brown with
| any improper desire ta enjoy the honors or
ostentation of military authority. I believe
i he is actuated by a patriotic regard for the
, public good. But men sometimes pursue a
favorite theory or policy, right in itself, until
| it becomes positively damaging, or at least
loses its original merit. Measures are pro
posed to retire disabled solJiers of the State
troops —to give bounties—to provide for Judge
advocates, and a long retinue of other expen
ditures which, if we preserve a separate State
military organization, are necessary ; but
which are already provided for by the Con
federate authorities. All these, if carried on
by the State, will very soon necessitate a de
gree of taxation grievous, indeed, to tie borne.
The Governor caEs for $10,000,000 for mili
tary purposes, and a like some tor other nec
essary expenses He urges that the State
avoid incurring tny further indebtedness,
tad hence if his recoinmendatien is heeded,
this amount must ne chiefly raised by taxa
tion The amoun- vised by the most onerous
rate of one per ceir. the present year, was on
ly about S 15,000.0 'O. Are the people will

th- necessity for the amount askei for this
purpose is very questionably The Confede
rate authorities are now well supplied with
shoes and clothing, and only in extreme eases
should the State attempt to famish them The
Hospital and Relie! Association am?! not be
crippled in it? noble miesion : and there seems
room for little national economy save in the
nfUitary fund That grievous burden can be
chiefly dispensed with by giving to tne prop
erly constituted authorities the management
of our defences.
Are there any so weak as to suppose that
the petty forces of the State under the preteu
tious titles of State Line. State Guard, Militia,
and Reserves, are more serviceable in their
presen’ semi-organized condition, than they
would be in the Confederate army? AY ill there
be renewed danger of usurpation—the night
mare that haunts the modern exponents of
State rights—if these our brothers and friends
are put where our worthy chief Executive can
not control them, and where his retinue of go
betweens cannot get fat from the bounteous
leaks incident tc the huge machinery that is
rolling them aud us resistlessly on to bank
ruptcy and ruin ?
This misconceived sensitiveness about titate
rights and desire to divide the war-making
power, has already cost us millions, and must,
if persisted In through the four years more of
war which threaten us, lead to inevitable re
pudiation and disgrace.
In these hurried observations I intend to
cast no reflections upon the patriotism or worth
of our Executive. Next tfl President Davis I
regard him the sternest, wisest and best civil
officer in all the land. But men are loth to
abandon a favorite policy. Gov. Brown con
ceives it necessary to keep up a State force,
and will continue it so long as the meaas are
forthcoming. He has now a numerous circle
of friends who would speedily grow hungry
without it. 1 propose that they all try Con
federate fodder awhile. It would no doubt
put them in a better humor with President
Davis, and be a decided measure of economy.
If this military millstone is to drag us down
another year, your immediate Representative,
Mr. Russell, has proposed a very wise and
proper measure. He has introduced a resolu
tion for the appointment of a joint committee
from the General Assembly, to act as an ad
visory board, or rather, a board of auditors, to
look into the disbursement of funds. This is
no reflection on the Governor or other officers
of the State* who are over burdened with la
bor, and cannot give due attention to all the
expenditure. I will endeavoi to send you the
resolution proposed by Mr. Russell, in a sub
sequent letter, when I will review its features
more fully.
In this connection it is simple justice
that in Mr. Russell your county has a watch
ful, safe and able legislator. He only speaks
when he has something to say, and says it
briefly and to the point. He is doing good
service in opposition to numerous unrestricted
appropriations. One of these, to give certain
counties overrun, a large amount of corn, has
just been defeated in the House. Mr. Russel I
opposed it on committee and in the House-
Such legislation is partial, unjust and imprac
ticable.
The unanimous adoption of a resolution
expressive ot confidence in the wisdom, purity
and patriotism of President Davis, by the
Senate, will meet with the cordial approval of
the country. Georgia.
From Missouri.
Under the caption of “The End of the Rebel
Raid in Missouri,” the St. Louis Union has the
following, from which it will be seen at once that
the recent accounts of Price’s utter rout and
ruination were what they,were believed to be fab
rications :
It is most probable that the rebel invasion o
Missouri was dictated from Richmond. As it was
impossible for Price to cross the Mississippi, and
reinforce Hood, the next best aid he could render
the Georgia General was to prevent the sending
of reinforcements to Sherman by invading Mii°
sonri.
As an invasion, the movement has proved a
failure, for the rebels gained no stable foothold in
the State, aud held the regions they traversed
only while they were traveling them. Asa raid, a
foray for plunder, it has been of mammoth pro
portions, and indescribably terrible. For nearly
six weeks the ruthless invaders had everythin®-
their own way, and did as they pleased, auda<?ious°
ly bearding our forces almost up to the confines
of St. Louis, destroying railroads, pillaging towns,
ravaging fields, conscripting citizens, murdering
all who oppose them, and gobbled up our feeble
garrisons by the score wherever they went.
But the raid, we hope, has reached its end at
last. The very nature of the movements has
proved the cause of disaster to it. No army can
remain an effective army after abandoning itself
to plundering. The rebels, demoralized and dis
couraged by their wild hunt after booty, and en
cumbered by the nondescript spoils with which
they had burdened themselves, proved an easy
prey to the inferior avenging force under Pleas
anton, put on the track. The small army assem
bled by Curtis on the Kansas border turned them
aside from their line of march towards Leaven-
and as they retired toward South, Pleasan
ton, with his cavalry, fell up>on them, captured ;en
pieces of artillery and two hundred prisoners, and
sent them fleeing in disorder towards Arkansas.—
Whi.e we cannot help regretting that they were
not met and ae r eated two or three weeks ago, it is
gratifying to know that this chastisement has
been inflicted upon them before they escaped en
tirely. It does not repair the injuries which the
State has suffered at the hands of the plunderers,
but it teaches them a lesson which mav prevent a
repetition of their audacious and destructive ir
ruptions.
By the following paragraph from a AYashiug
ton letter, we infer the authorities tnere were not
satisfied with Rosecrans' management:
THE PRESIDENTS LAST JOKE.
The removal of Gen. Rosecrans is imminent, but
will not likely take place until after the election.
The President says he believes that Rosecrans.
who is a McCLelLanite, “ has allowed the State
which Halleck recovered to again pass into rebel
possession, on a contract with Sterling Price that
the rebel forces should vote solid for McClellan
and carry the balance of the Democratic ticket.”—
It shows a cheerful spirit ia Mr. Lincoln to be ,
able thus to faeetiate. Hunter is named as the
probable successor to this General, and also ia
connection with the 10th army corps, his old com
mand.
It is stared that the English poet laureate has
already cleared ten thousand pounds bv “Enoch

Eirfllrat Orders.
The disaster Jf it mav be called so,) of Ce
dar creek will eventually prove a blessing to
the Army of the Valley. No more victories
are to be thrown away by demoralized plun
derers. and the organization of the army itself
is to be so changed that the troops will be
more compact and wieldy. Already several
skeleton regiments and brigades have been
consolidated, which cannot fail to prove an
excellent step. The apple brandy question
also receives some attention iu the following
orders of Gen. Early:
He VIiqUARTIKS. 1
Valley District, Oct. 2.". LBu4. >
[General Orders, No, 44.]
I. Officers commanding divisions, brigades,
regiments, battalions and companies, will at
once take steps to improve the discipline of
their commands, and for this purpose the fol
lowing rules will be rigidly observed :
Ist. No officer or soldier will be allowed to
absent himself from his camp without written
permission approved by his division comman
der, or ir. the artillery by the chief of artillery ;
and no such permission will be granted for a
greater length of time than six hours. All
permissions to be absent for a greater length
of time mast be approved at these headquar
ters.
‘2d. Patrols will be organized in each camp
to arrest all stragglers ; and whenever men
are found absent from their camps on permits
not approved, as above provided, they will be
arrested, the permits taken away and sent to
the proper division commander, or the head
quarters of the artillery, and the officers grant
ing such permits will be arrested and tried
on charges for disobedience or orders.
3d. There will be four roll calls each day in
camp, to-wit: At 6 a. m. r booh, 5 p. m. and
0 p. m., which roll calls must be attended by
all company officers, and superintended by the
commandants of regiments or field officer from
each regiment; and no company officer or
so'dier, absent without proper authority from
either of said rolls, will be allowed to draw
rations for the next draw day, and all provis
ion returns must be made to conform to this
provision, ajid the absentees will be otherwise
punished.
On marches, the rolls of companies will be
called on the formation of the command, at
the close of the march, and repeatedly during
the march wher the column halts to rest, and
the names of absentees noted, and the same
rule will be observed in regard to absentees as
to drawing rations and punishments.
4th. All plunder or property of any kind,
gotten by officers* or soldiers on the battle
held, or from the enemy, will be taken from
them and turned over to the quartermaster of
the army.
All property of every kind captured in battle
or from the enemy, legitimately belong to the
Government. No officer or soldier has the
right to appropriate to himself, or bis partic
ular command, any kind of property so cap
tured, because he happens to find it first, and
for him to do so is a great wrong to hi? com
rades.
The mau who continues to fight the enemy
is the captor, and not he who stops to gather
booty. In tuture ail such appropriation is
forbidden, and all persons making it will be
brought to trial.
sth. The names ot all officers and men who
stop to plunder, or who throw away their
arms, «>r otherwise misbehave before the ene
my, will be punished by publication in the pa
pers of the State to which they belong, and
they will be tried under the fifty-second ar
ticle of war.
11. Division commanders will cansi* to be
made out lists of all officers and, men who
stopped to plunder, threw away their arms,
or otherwise misbehaved in the recent battle
on Cedar Creek, in order that their names may
be published in the newspapers of their States:
and charges will be preferred in the most fla
grant cases, especially against officers guilty
of such misconduct. The lo3t arms will be
charged iu every case to men wbohave thrown
them away.
111. All horses and mules captured, and ail
other property —whether sutlers goods or
public property —taken from the battle field
and not appropriated, will be turned over
to the chief quartermaster and commissary
of this army ; and where it baa been appro
priated, each article will be valued under the
direction of the chief quartermaster or com
missary. and charged to the officers or men
to whose use it has been appropriated.
This will apply to all camp and garrison
eqtiipage, wearing apparel of every description
—including boots, shoes, and all other com
missary and sutlers’ goods of every descrip
tion : but horses and mules will be taken from
the persons having them in possession, wheth
er appropriated or not

commanders will see to the execution of this
order.

East Tennessee Front. —We have no pews of
any exciting character from the front, althougo
many wild reports-were adoat yesterday. Me
think we can state accurately tua the enemy have
not come further than Henderson’s, a short dis
tance this side of Greenville.
It is believed that no serious apprehensions
need be felt. The enemy is evidently not in
tending to advance as far as this place at pres
ent : and were they to attempt it, we predict
that they will find some serious obstacles in the
way.
Our late disaster at Morristown has enabled
the enemy to extend their lines, so that a larger
number of votes can be obtained in the Presi
dential election. The devoted followers of Andy
Johnson, in Greece county, may have a chance
to vote for the idol of their affections. Tbi3
will be doubtless pleasant in the extreme, espe
cially as they can, at the same time, “go it” for
Abraham the First. They can now exclaim in
Greene county :
“No pent up Utica contracts our powers,
The whole boundless Universe is ours.”
P. S.— Since writing the amove, it is rep irted
that the enemy had come to Leesburg, a short
distance below Jonesboro, but this nee:?* confir
mation.

beyond measure with Governor Brown’s staunch
loyalty to the cause and his high character as a

A Rejoinder. —ln response to the order of Dix,
with reference to “rebels” voting at the late pre.-i
--dential election in New York, George N. Sanders
issued the following counter proclamation .
“To all whom it may conclrn.”
Montreal, C. E., Oct. 29, ISfiWAs Maj. t.ex.
John A. Dix, of the Federal army, under the pre
text of guarding against Confederates voting, has
issued an extraordinary order directing the Fede
ral soldiery to take possession of the polls in New
York upon the presidential election day. it be
comes proper and right that I should declare that
there is no fact better understood than that the
Confederates are but mere lookers on: and fur
ther, that Ido not believe there is one in Canada,
including the St. Albans prisoners, who would
cross the line with the fullest Federal protect! a
to vote for either of the presidential candidates.

An Old Max who has Shot Sixty P»a
--! sons. —The Cairo correspondent of the St
Louis Republican, tells this story:
l At one point on s he Tennessee river there
is a place that has become a terror to steam
boat men, and in passing it they always fin !
some place to secure themselves till the boat
passes. At tiii: point an old man, sixty-od<l
j years of age, h is made his headquarters for i
long time, and the peculiar “crack of his gun ’
i is familiar to river men, and sends a thrill of
j terror wherever it is heard. He has a long
heavy barrelled gun, originally a squirrel rifle,
which Ims been bored out three different times,
until now the largest thumb can easily be
turned >n the muzzle, and the aim of the old
man is one of deadly certainty.
The sentinel is always faithfully upon his
watch, and his retreat has so far baffled all to
catch him, from the fact that he is so surroun
i ded with dense swamps and deep ravines.—
I Well informed river men estimate that this
I old man has killed in this way not less than
sixty persons, and yet he performs his work
with as much earnestness and vigor as wher.
i he first commenced.
The Sun from the North Pole —To a
person standing at the North Po ! e, 'he sna
appears to sweep horizontally around the skv
• every 24 hours, without any perceptible vari
ations during its circuit in its distan e from
! the horizon. On the 21st or June it is 23 deg.
I 38 min. above the horizon, a little more than
one-fourth the distance to the zenith, the
i highest point that it ever reaches. From this
altitude it slowly descends, its track being
represented by a spiral or screw, with a very
fine thread, and, in the course of three months
it worms its way down to the horizon, which
it reaches on the 23d of September. On this
day it slowly sweeps around the skv. with it?
face half hidden below the icy sea. It still
■ continues to descend, and. after it has entire
ly disappeared, it is still so near the hori/.or.
that it carries a bright,!wilight around the
; heavens in its daily circuit.
As the sun sinks lower and lower, this twi
light gradually grows fainter, till it fades away.
