DESERTERS -THEIR DEEDS AND DESTINY. Macon', March 16, 1865 —Transportation agents tell methattoor* men are returning to their commands than at anv period since the assumption by Hood ol the chieftainship of the army of Tennessee. There are ten reasons for this conduct on the part of the absen- Ist. Forrest has said if the militia foil in any coun tv to rqpiove deserters, he will make a campaign in the locality tbev occupy and hang every one caught. o<|. Deserters have ascertained that the Yankees show them no merev. They are hanged by the halt dozen every week in the penitentiary at Nashville, and ; the Federal general commanding at Memphis has agreed to furnish a regiment or brigade to co-operate with Forrest in removing deserters troni Western I Tennesseefand Northern Mississippi. 1 Sd Thenext legislature ol this State will disfran j chise’every soldier, now absent from duty who fails to i take advantage of proclamation. Deserter* and. their children thus become infamous, incapable of j holding property and of exercising the privileges ut eb|TmtioQ Qf t 0 the commanderin chief has done much to restore public confidence, which was impaired by assaults of politicians and {dace-hunters upon the character and conduct ot Presi dent Davis. . , sth.

Usbould be know?that General Lee has begun bis military administration with an act of clemency which will* stultify himself by renewing. The frequency of these proclamations of pardon has impmred, as all kn^rthe efficiency of our military organizations.— No we understands this fact more thoroughly than roni/tiers and none more than Gen. Lee. It U that there are many counties • and Alabama in which a newspaper it V —E O SoV U roISoS U io phS of these States ?

Might it not give uqjireradity to the circula tion of a newspaper containing a statement ot tacts which l have recited ? Everywhere, in every village, there is a conscript and enrolling officer, and every where a poet commandant, quartermasters and com mis varies, their cictks and employee*, are necessarily in numerable. These might exiend jue spheres of their ii aefunlea* by giving publicity to tacts known to reryfcw of the masses of people. It wonle be hard to shoot it de serter who had uever heard of Lee’s amnesty, ttod Forrest’s will be a disagreeable dnty, when the desert ers in Winston, who recently. :n open daylight, rob bed the quartermaster of the ©only, were hanged for their ignorance. These men deem themselves outlaws. They defy the authorities as they do in Neshoba, and threaten to atftiibilate tbe militia and born their hous es if they attempt to arrest deserters. These danger ous men'are not numerous, b»»t bare learned the ad vantages of organization. They are armed the militia fear them, and must I say it ?‘others hare—the ticians in the Legislature, feareS their influence. Wortiit of Thought. —Gov. Blair, of Michigan, says: the commencement of the war upwards of eighty thousand men have been placed in the field from the State, of which thirty five thou sand have been raised since January, 1363. The State has now in service tb~ty e*fdmen4*of infan try, eleven of cavalry, one of light artillery, one of engineers and mechanics, two independent batteries, and fifteen companies in various arms of service.” The Governor of Indiana says that State has furnished over one hundred and twenty-five thoa .sand men to the jrar. The Governor of* Massachusetts says that State hat sent one hundred and twenty five thousand four hundred and thirty-seven men to the war, making a surplus, over all calls, of seven thou sand. Referring to enlistments, the Governor says that Maine has contributed daring the past year to the service of the Government 18,994 men; und since the commencement cf the war one-tenth of the population of the State, or more than .11,005 of her sous have a been in jtbe military and naval service. The message of Gov. Yates, of Illinois, says that State has ever filled its quota of every call for men l>v Lincoln, and has furnished 198,360 men to the Federal Government, beside 11,328 one hundred days troops. The total of tbe above, from fife States only, is 529,000, yet the entire vote cast by Gram’s and Butler’s armies was only 18,000! Again : Official peports claim that there have been furnished 4 by the 80*>callfd “loyal” States, and placed in the service, 3,258,847 men. Yet the aggregate vote cast for President in the same States, in 1860, was only 3,860,919; by which it would appear that, excepting the comparatively insignificant number of 600,000, the ehtire voting population went into the army. Ax Artificial Blkssixo. —We were favored, yesterday afternoon, with the privilege of exam ining a specimen of tbe ntechauical ingenuity of our fellow-townsmen, Messrs. Strasser & Callahan, in supplying one of our disabled soldiers with an artificial limb. Mr. A. I). Sandlin, of Madison county, Miss., who suffered tbe loss of both feet in tbe battle of Fredericksburg, bad applied to the firm named for substitutes, and, although such a requisition was never filled before by the most celebrated manufsenirers, the task was underta* it*®, asnsuas But upon the first trial of tbe efforts of Messrs. S. & C., and which was their first attempt to sup ply, artificially, «ooh t com bination of deficiencies, Mr. S. seemed almost as capable of locomotion with bis “ new understanding ”a* before. With out crutches, or cane, or any assistance whatever, he found himself able to walk about, tnrn around, etc., with an ease aud assurance of safety we have never seen excelled by any wbojvere necessitated to use only one artificial limb, and had enjoyed experience. He left for home on the boat last evening, feeliug almost “as good as new.” We invite an inspection of tbe peculiar construction of the limbs manufactured by Messrs. Strasser & Callahan, by all who are unfortunately in need of their aid. We have examined numerous instan ces in which they have contributed to the relief of parties, and in every case their efforts have been successful. — Appeal. A HEROIC WOMAN- The Fayetteville Telegraph gives ns the particu lars of a thrilling affair which recently happened In Nook Carolina. I* appears tb.t about mid night % band of deserters and escaped I&nxee prisoners, fifteen in number, and ted by a Yankee naval officer, attacked the honse of Mrs. Dr. Mc- Nair, Robeson county, and, after spending nearly an hour in the attempt, forced an entrance by breaking down the front door. Mr. Wm. Stanton was staying at Mrs. McNair’s on she night in ques tion, and being called by that lady to her assist ance, soon after the attack commenced, promptly “reported for duty.” An exciting contest follow ed, Mrs. McNair and Mr. Stanton both being pro vided with Colt’s repeaters and a rifle, which they used with fatal effect; one of the attacking party being killed and another woatfded in the breast We regret to learn that Mrs. McNair was badly burned and her face otherwise injured by frag ments of glass and powder. Mr. Stanton was also slightly wounded. . Mrs.' McNair and Mr. Stanton having exhausted their ammunition, the latter, at the urgent solici tation of Mrs. McNair, (who feared the despera does would wreak ovenjfeance 'on him for the death of their comrade,) retired, and she remained aloDe to brave their fury. On approaching her, the Yankee officer in commmd was so struck with her bold and determined :«ein, that, instead of harming her, he congratulated her warmly on her heroic conduct, stating that she was the first per son, man or woman, who had offered any resist ance to his band. They carried off nearly aP the valuables they conld find, including silvervare and jewelry, six thousand dollars in Confederate notes, and two breastpins,containing the pictures of Mrs. McNair’s husband and son—the latter of whom fell in de fense of his country on one of the batUe fields of Virginia. The courage and determination of this noble woman savors more of romance than reality but the incidents given in tiis article are literally true. It carries one back tc the days of the rev olution, when the fearless weraen of the colonies performed so many feats of wonderful daring.— The example of Mrs. McNak is worthy to be imi tated by many of the male sex whose knees are smiting together, like Belsiazar s, lest they be attacked by deserters and ttber roving despera does. MR. BROOKS, OF NEW YOIK, ON THE MONROE DOCTRKK. In a debate on the ©port concerning the, “peace conference,” sent in by Lincoln to the Yankee House, Mr. Broocs, of New 1 ork, used the following language: He (Mr. Brooks) waa in avor of an armistice.— Some day or other this ww must end, and prior to that there must be an atnistice. He regretted that the President had no'availed himself of the opportunity recentlv offeitd to grant an armistice, believing that if this thin* had taken place, peace would have followed. There were things now in progress on this con tinent which imperiously require an armiatice or a friendly accommodation between the Sonh and ; South so that we can resist, by combined opera- ! tions, .the European encroachments in North * America: and in this connection he referred to the fact that Sinaloa, Sonora, Chihuahua, Dnrango,. and lower California, aye occupied by the French, [ under the pretence of having received these por- ! tions of Mexico for & debt originally only one 1 hundred and five thousand dollars. This; subject, considering the geographical, political, and material interests invited, was c<y-tainly of more importance to the House than the abstract i question ot slavery. „ . This administration hfid done nothing and could , do nothing in the way .of resistance to the foreign I encroachment. If the Memorial Diplomatique— tbe highest authority in European circles—L« right, Secretary Seward has given a quasi support to tbe overthrow of the Mexican Republic by i Maximilian, supported by Loots Napoleon ; and it j was stated in that paper in September or October la#*, that our domestic agitations—meaning the j elections—prevented the recognition of the new dynasty set up in Mexico. Hence onr Minister— Mr. Corwin—obtained leave to come home, in or der to avoid any representative of our country near the liberal or Jurez Government.' Mr. Brooks: &Eg!iad to show the importance of peace between the North and the South, in order that both may practically unite in the maintenance of tbe Mon roe doctrine. How ocr BnKADSTrpr Trade is Falling Off— I The following table shows how tbe breadstuff trade is de clining uder the exhausting effect of the war, which is diminishing production to an alarming exteat: Flour —Shipments to Europe. 1359—’60. . barrels, 799.899 1860—’61 2, 703,797 1861— ’62 3,299,180 1862 1,692,971 1863 '64 1,341,316 Wn*AT —Shipments to Europe. 1359—’60 bushels 5,119,745 1860—’61 26.005,866 1361 ’62 33,872,181 1362 ’63 25.510,674 1863—’64 19,326,342 Indian Coax —Shipments to Europe. 1859 — ’6O bushels 1.241,215 1860— ’6l 11,800,176 1861— ’62 14.406,841 1362—’68 *. ..10,403,813 1893-64 780,807 With no cotton to export, and but little breadstuff it is a question how we ate going to pay for our imports. The above figures sbouiu prove of serious import to those engaged in agricultural pursuits. With the prospect of tbe war lasting another year, and as a con sequence thereof, a large draft from which ibere will be no escape, the future financial condition of the coun try wears a gloomy aspect, Congrees will no doubt at its next seasion, abolish the exemption clause in the conscription law and increase the taxon real estate. How then can tbe large force that will necessarily be drawn from the cultivators of the soil to till up the ranks of the army be supplied ?— SittropiliUiv* Record. What Gov. Brows is Bringing rs to. —The following paragraphs, says the Telegraph, of a letter dated.Sarannah, .January 31st, and written to the Boston Journal should attract public atten tion in Georgia, if, indeed, it does not arouse the most callous to a painful sense of the peril that a certain class of politicians in this State have brought upon us. Who is the intimate friend of in order, if possible, to degrade this great State and turn pver a free'people to Abolition vassa lage? But to the exposition; the writer says : “The cause of the Union is gaining ground, not only in this eity, but throughout the State. I have just seen a man who arrived to-day from the interior, who holds a position in the State Gov ernment, and who is in intimate relations with Governor Brown. He has come in to confer with the military authorities, and is in communication with General Grover. He confirms what I have stated in a letter already forwarded, that there are fifteen counties in which Union organizations are formed. Meetings have been held. Men begin to speak openly—to express their feelings and views. They want arms to protect themselves against guerrillas and the cavalrymen, of the rebel service. It is not probable that they will be sup plied with arms at present, but they will be en couraged iu every possible way. “I would not have undue importance given to this intelligence, and yet it is very important. the rebellion has lost its power in Geor gia, that men hare eonie to the reflection stage, that the old Irtiwrut* »» 4 ivnma umuu IS disappearing, that love for the Confederacy has vanished, that Jeff. Davis’ tyranny is at an end. But at the same time we are not to think that their love for the old flag is as intense as we wish it to be. They have ceased to fight, and that is a great gain, In time, they will love the flag.” THE HEW RBVEHUE LAWS. The tax law passed,by Congress, before the adjourn* nient. levies a tax of eight per cent*on alt property not expressly taxed at a different rate; on specie and bills of exchange twenty per cent; on .currency fire per cent. The interest on Government bonds is taxed as income under existing laws. Upon profits made by buying and selling merchan dise or property of any description, between the years 1565 and 1366. 'a tax of ten per cent, is levied in ad dition to tbe’taxon such profits as income; and npou all profits exceeding twenty-five per cent, a tax of twantr-tive per cent The' property, the income and moneys of hospitals, asylums, churches, schools and charitable institutions are exempt from taxation. Also, all property within the lines of the enemy shall be exempt from' taxation as long as it remains within snch lines. The taxes are made due and are to be collected on the first day of June next, one-halt to be paid in treasu ry notes, and the other half at the option of tbe party, in certificates oi indebtedness, without any allowance of interest. It also provided that upon all subjects of taxation mentioned in this act and the act approved i7ih of February, 1 364, there shall be levied and assessed tor tbe year 1366 an additional tax equal to one-eighth of the amount of the tax on the same subjects imposed for the year 1565; which tax shall be payable in Treasury notes of the new issue; and the money arising there- Irom shall be first appropriated to the payment of tbe increased compensation of the soldiers; provided, that this additional tax shall not be construed to apply to or increase the tax in kind. » The following important section we quote at length : Confess having intended by tbe act ofiTtb Febru - ry, 1364, entitled, etc., as amended by tbe aet of 14th Jane, 1364* to impose said additional taxes for tbe year 1365 only, the said act of 17th February, 1364. *as amended, in so iar as it can be construed to operate otherwise than as thns intended, shall be and the same is berebv repealed, and all the taxes imposed by this act shall be paid without any discount or credit ior tbe value of the tax in kind, or tbe income tax, and all the taxes on income and profits under existing laws shall be paid without any credit or deduction of the ad valorem tax. - A PA&ABLE TO THE POINT “The Countryman thus inculcates a lesson of Christian charity to the enemies of President Davis.
