Praiseworthy Liukiiauty.—E. Steadman,

lost over a million of dollars l»y the Federal s

dwelling, and the’devflstation ol h : s estate, sent
last week to Rev. A. K Dickinson five thous
and dollars for nrmy colportoge, with inßtruc»
tions to draw on him for twenty- live thous
and dollar* additional Mr the same purpose—
A month or two ago he contributed three
thousand to this game ol.ju t, besides a con

making tilt! contribution of thirty .thousand
dollars to Rev. Mr D.riym-on for nrmy col por

Mr. Hteadman for some months was a resi
dent of thjs city. A few weeks since he re
moved to Athens, we believe. No matter,
however, whete is his residence is, ho is a use
ful and estimable member <J society. His
praiseworthy liberality is a good examplq for
ull to follow. We know of no p-ivate indi.
viduul who has, eilher before this war began or
since, bestowed such princely giPa upon char
itable objects. Long may lie live to enjoy the
high esteem of his fellow 'Hitizsns he so richly
deserves, and (ho ample fortune which he still
bus left.
Would there were more men like Mr. Stead,
man scattered throughout the Confederacy.—
'Then there would be let s want, less vice—so
ciety be improved, and the virtuous
would be spared the many scenes of degrading
demoralisation which now meet their view on
every side.
The best way those who have an abundant e
of money can put it to, is to provide lor the
wants of the poor in our midst—spiritual as
us well as temporal.
Look Our rou Imimsfoiis -Wo learn that
several nights since some soldo fs part jelly in
toxicated, visited Mrs. Eliza Seago, six ruilcs
from town, under the* pretext that they were
searching for Calvin Seago, whom tiny said
they had authority to nr jest us a desetter.
Mrs. Seago told them that, they were at liberty
to search the house, provided they exhibited
their authority. This they tailed to do, and
after indulging in a few oaths, left. That they
were impostors there can he no aoubt, as at
that very time Calvin Seago, whom Alley as
serted was a deserter, was then on duty as a
private in the Richmond Jluzzus, Cos. A.
Cobb's Legion, Cupt. Atelier, at Green Fond,

uo defence against such a charge.
Unprincipled men will doubtless perambu
late the country under the pivleuctr ol hunting
up deserters the more fully to'gratify lic it'
plundering propensities, uud every one would
do well to make such show tU-U*
papers before admitting them in the house.
The times demand extra vigilance on the part
of those residing in tpo country.
Mr. Seago has B«nee lv.turncd home on lei. -

rived by the Tennessee train who informs us
that a p» rty of armed tones and deserters ap
peared ir i the tow nos Ashvilie on Monday last,
just bet'c re daybreak, and committed deeds of
the most revolting character. They surround

Rankiti, -and a young soldier named Hortou,
were stoj ‘piDg. Finding that they would be
destroyer: with the building if they remained
in it any longer they endeavored to escape by
jumping through one of the windows and run

On making their appearances Capt. Ste-vart
was shot and killed instantly and Capt. Ran

running through tho garden. Life not being

An Important Decision oy Secretary of

auctioneer’s commissions:
Treasury Department, C. S A. [
Richmond. Dec 13th, I SG I j
Mon. IF. 2? Smith, Home of Representatives:
Dear Sir: —I bad the honor to receive your
letter of tbe22d nit. inquiring if the soldiers’
tax of ‘‘one lifth the present tax,” was to be
levied on auctioneer’d commissions, from the
sales made before the pas age of the Act im
posing the soldiers’ tax.
1 have the honor to state, in reply, that the
point being involved in some doubt, it whs .sub
mitted to the Attorney General. His decision
D, that the law could not have a retro-active
operation, and applies only to the commis
sions on sales made subsequent to tho passage

Volunteer Troop j for the war —ln the
Confederate House of R- pvesentatives, on the
10th ult, Mr Henry, of Tennessee. intioduced'
a bill to receive volunteer troops lor tho war.
The bill provides:
That all persons uot now in the service, and
those who are absent without leave, shall he
anthemed within three months cast, of the
Mississippi river, and within six "months west
of that river, to form themselves into volun
teer organizations of companies, elect their
company officers and tender their service to
tho President of the Confederate Stales as vol
unteer- tioaps during the war. Such organiza
tions shall conform to existing laws, anil, when
tendered to the President, shall be organized
into battalions and regiments, and shall be
subject to all the regulations, which govern
the army of the Confederate States.
Mr. Henry said he entertained Do feeling of
opposition towards thu conscript law, and this
bill had been introduced in no such spirit
But he was convinced by information derived
fsorn a number of trustworthy sources, that a
measure such as this would add tons of thous
ands of soldiers to our armies who would nev
er enter the service as conscripts.
The resolution was referred to the Military
Committee,
A Gkm at EuiiOß. Oa« sad, unpardonable
error or negligence on the part of the govern
ment, has been the withholding from tin; sol
diers of the army, their just remuneration for
valiant service in the field.* We pen these re
marks in no demagogue spirit, merely to win
the applause of one class of the country at the
expense of another in power, uo matter bow
ibrelict in duty the latter, or how deserving
and patient the former.
We have witnessed many instances of in
justice to the BoUlier-citizen, from the appa
rent, indifference of the government or the
carelessness of its officials in this respect.
We are not in a position to know the causes
which may exist for the temporary wilhhold
ingof pay, but we know this one fact—which
is surely enough— tout lbe men are kept out
of their monthly wages longer than is usual
with governments that conduct wars, and
longer than 13 absolutely necessary. These
men ought to be paid immediately. Wo con
versed with one au hour since, who had not
received his pay for twelve months! Such an
evil as this is more demoralizing tha'n a
dozen disastrous Franklins or Nushvilks, and
and -mandsiastaut remedy. —Montgomery Mail.
Wo at (jEoi ora has bonk for tiib Cau.-f'
Lately the House ot Representatives called on
the War Depattment to furnish that body with
the number of men each State lias put into the
service, and was informed in reply, that Ihe
furnishing of the desired infoimation would
iuvo’ve such au amount of labor as lo render it
im practicable.
It" this be f rue, it shows a grors neglect of
duty on the part of tne War Department in
keeping its records. The business of that De
pavtm.-nt should he so kept that it would at
any time be an easy matter to refer to such
information.
We give it as our opinion that Georgia has
contributed more men .and means in carrying
on this war than any other State, for the fol
lowing reasons : The report ot the Commis
sioners of Taxes shows that she pays largely
more taxes than any other State, and nearly
double the taxes of any State, except Virginia;
and we have before us a letter from a member
of Congress, which states that the records in
Richmond show that Georgia ha.s lost more
men in the war than any other State iu the
Confederacy. —Macon Confederacy \ f
Taxes ix Florida. -’1 be Governor cf Florida
has notified tax assessors aad collectors in that
State that he shall hereafter inquire all taxes
due to be paid iu the treasury notes of the
State, or in specie. This requirement, he says,
‘•is made in compliaye with existing laws,
which it is necessary should be. observed.”
Ileierring to Uij order the Floridian says We
are not clear as to the authority tor this mea
sure, and also doubt the policy of it at this
t ; me. It will work great hardships to many
persons who are in the army and have taxes to
pay, and will also have' a tendency to still fur
ther depreciate the Confederate currency.” If
Florida has such laws upon her statute' books,
of course Gov. Milton cannot do otherwise than
enforce them, but that they shou’d be at once
so modified as to embrace the national currency,
no oae can doubt, and we are astonished it has
not been done ere this. There can be no mis
take as to the effect the enforcement ot such
laws will have upon the credit of Mr. Tren
hoim's currency.
Public Opinion Disregarded. —We learn by
gentlemen direct from Richmond, that it was
conceded in that city there was no probability
that Gen. Johnston would brrrestorcd to com
mand. The almost unanimous expression of
Cougre-s, a.nd the wishes of the people and
the artsy, failed to produce the least impres
sion on the Administration.— Montgomery Ap
peal.
The Washington Chronicle states that Gen.
Wm. E. Anderson, of the Florida State troops,
who was captured in the raid on Marianna, has
been sent to Fort Warren, Boston, together
with most of the officers captured at Fort Mor
gan, Mobile.
