The TAX QUESTION. Editors Demo-
cras snd Ners The time has arrived when
We can no longer bear such oppressive taxation
as has been forced upon US for the past three
years. and l am heartily glad that the people
are awake to the importance of this subject
and have determined to hurl from power all
who disregard their rights. and care not for
their interests. The bond holders are villino to
grant an srtension, or accept loscer rate of im-
teysst. They were willing to do this fourteee
months since. and had it not been for tvrant
who then carried the city in his breecher
pocket. We should to-day have been paying .ix
per cent interest, instead of ten per cent. II
seems to me that the proper course is to nepo-
tiats with the bond holders. and get an extern
sion or reduction Of interest, rather than to
submit to vexatous lsw cults and the pay N ent
Of thousands Of dollars cost II.

Sang persons who have not read
the papers much think that if they
vote for Tennessee going out and
Joining the South they thereby IN
crease : their tsxes. The reverse is
true. The last Legislature voted S5,-
OOO.OO0 for the defence OF the State,
If the State goes out, this sun is
to be shared with all the Southern
States, which will reduce the amount
to be paid by this State to s small
sum. and hence reduce the taxes Oh
each MN. But iit the State does not
90 out, ii must pay the whole OF the
S5.O00,O00 itself, and 10 addition to
that. if it remains in the 'Unlon,
mnst bear its part Of the immense
national war debt Of the United
States. As matter of economy,
therefore, il is to the interest oil every
Taxpayer for the State to go with
the Sonth. If Tennessee has to pay
all that S5,0OO0OO, and then her
share of S300,000,00Q per year,
which is the debt now being con.
tracted by the Union" these COM
bined will almost crush her tax.pay-
srs. Let every man. poor and r'ch,
think of this.-B inner Of Peace.

Chances Of Being Killed in War

! Marshall SAKE, 6 high authority ia
such things, was iu the habit of say
ing that to kill man in battle, the
mans weight in lead must be ex-
pended. A French medical and
surgical gazette, published at Lyons
saws this fact was verified at SolieIi-
DO. even With the recent great i'm
prevement in firearms. The Austrl-
ans fired eight million four hundred
rounds. The loss of the French and
italians was Two thousand killed and
ten thousand wounded. Each man
hit costs seven hundred rounds. The
main weight of balls is one ounce;
thus, we find that it is required, on
an average, two hundred aud seven
sy-two pounds Of lead 10 Kill a man
