The Cash System.

After mature deliberation the Publishers of
this paper have determined to adopt the
CASH system They have been led to this
step by the heavy losses experienced from
debts scattered throughout the State, which
they have been unable to collect, the neces-
sity which compels them to pay cash for Ia
Dor in the printing Office, for paper and other
supplies, and the general adoption of the sys-
tenn on the part of leading houses in all
branches of trade and industry. The cash
system, necessary to protect US, will also be
beneficial to punctual subscribers, inasmuch
as it will rid US of the expense entailed by
non-paying subscribers, and enable Us to re-
duee the price of our weekly paper. From
this date, therefore, we shall enter the name
of no person on our books as subscriber,
unless be pays for his paper in advance. And
on the LIST day of July next, we shall erase
from our subscription lists every name not
paid in advance. Our weekly paper will De
trO dollars per annum. Those who have al
ready paid in advance beyond the LIST day of
July, 1861, will be allowed the benefit of this
reduction from that date.
~Ws shall keep this notice standing IN our
columns until the Isl of July, and, on that day,
erase euery delinquent from our list

DEATH OF A GALLANT VIRGINIAs.-The tele-
graph announces that "Capt. JOHN MANN was
the only rebel killed at Fairfax" on the 3Oth
ult. We have good reasons for believing that
it was Capt JOIN Q. MARI, of the WarrsntOn
RiR<zueu, who was killed, as he was at Center
vile, few miles from Fairfax, just before
the night took place. Capt. MARI was a
brother of our esteemed fellOw-citizens,
Messrs. w. j. and T. 8. MARI. He graduated
at the Military Institute at Lexington, and
was a member of the Virginia Convention
which passed the ordnance of secession. I'm
mediately on the adjournment OF the Con-
yention he fastened to his native county OF
Fauouier, of which he was the representative,
and raised company of rifemen to repel the
invaders of his State. He was brave and
gallant officer, and commanded one OF the
finest companies in the Old Dominion. Our
cause sustains heavy loss by his death. In
the next fight in which his company Is en-
gagged, he will be terribly avenged.

Mai. Henry at CIarksburg.

Wewere at Clarksburg on Saturday last to
hear the Eagle Orator. speak, and as doubt
less conflicting reports are in circulation as
to his reception and treatment there, will
give a plain, unvarnished statement of the
circumstances as they came under our own
observation.
In company with Maj. Henry, Col. Allen,
and a few others, we arrived at Clarksburg
about 10 o'clock, tied onr horses and walked
up to the crowd which had gathered under
some shade trees. No one advanced to greet
the distinguished orator he was introduced
to few gentlemen, whom he engaged for q
short time in conversation. during which
time, no chair was offered him, no one invited
him to dinner, or showed him any other
courtesy. At the time OF our arrival the
Home Guard" were on drill, dressed in their
uniforms, with the "stars and stripes" at
their head, and marching to the strains of
martial music, with guns upon their shoulders,
and, as we learned with those guns loaded
and primed. After marching and counter
marching for time, they halted in front of
Parker's store, when young gentlemen,
member of the company. mounted block
and made proclamation that they desired all
present to come forward and hear their "po-
sition defined" Maj. Henry and Col. Allen
were called by name and asked to come and
hear il. They walked up, when the young
man spoken Of proceeded to read series of
Resolutions, which had been previously
adopted, and which set forth the objects of
the organization of the "Home Guard"
Among the resolutions was one denouncing
every man who had had any agency in the
passage of the ordinance of secession or the
military alliance with the Confederate States,
as "peTjured traitors" after which the COM
pany was dismissed.
In short time Maj. Henry, addressing the
crowd stated that he had come there for the
purpose of speaking but that he had no wish
to inf1ict q speech upon them If they were not
willing to hear him. Several voices told him
to go and speak if he wished, that there was
no mob there, &c.
Preparations were then made for him to
speak in front of store-house owned in part,
at least, by a Mr.. Brewer, when about to be-
gin Brewer stepped up and told him that he
did not wish him to speak upon his lot. DR..
Wilson then proposed that Henry might
speaking iE grove near by belonging to him,
If he would divide time, if he would not do
this, then he could not speak there. Henry
accepted the proposition. He was to speak
and Jack Murphy was TO follow. Henry spoke
for two hours and made very fine speech,
and was attentively listened to. After he
concluded be called upon the crowd to stay
and hear Murphy, but that gentleman failed
to come to time, and thus the matter ended.
We leave the reader to Judge whether Maj.
Henry and Col. Allen deserved the treatment
which they received.-Carrou Patriot.

The War Tax.

a great deal of Misrepresentation OF the
war tax authorized by the Legislature, at the
late session, has been made The following
brief note from the revenue collector of Nash
vile states the facts. No one can remain in
error sfter reading it:
CITY HALL,
NGzhriIZe, June 3, 1861. :
In reply to numerous inquiries as to the
War Tax levied by recent act of the Legis-
lature, will state that it amounts to cents
on the hundred dollars, or so cents on the
thousand dollars worth of property, or IS on
ten thousand dollars worth of property.
In other words, man must own taxable
property to the value of ten thousand dollars,
in order to pay eight dollars war tax; or pro
perty valued at five thousand, to pay four
dollars; or property valued at one thousand
dollars, to pay eighty cents of taxes; or one
hundred dollars worth of property, to pay
eight cents The man of small means, or
possessed of a small amount of taxable pro-
perty, will scarcely feel the additional tax
levied for military purposes. A man worth
one hundred thousand dollars, in taxable pro-
perty, would pay eighty dollars additional
tax. Very Respectfully,
A. NELSON.

Division General Orders No 4.

DIVISION HEADQUARTERS. NASHVILLE, TENN.
June 3, 1861.
The Major-General, commanding in Middle
Tennessee, will receive and muster into the
service of the State, from this division, two
thousand rifemen. Companies will furnish
their own rifies-the Tennessee riie-and
when mustered in, the State will furnish the
Minnie ball. Experiments already made de-
nonstrate that with this ball the Tennessee
rife, in the hands of our troops, is the most
formidable weapon in the world.
The Major-General will also receive and
muster into the service of the State five COM
panies of cavalry, each private to be armed
with a strong double barreled shot gun, TO
be furnished by himself and paid for by the
State. The State will furnish the other arms.
Each mounted man furnishes his own horse

To the People of Middle Tennessee

The service requires the use of thousand
strong double-barrelled shot guns, and
you will render important aid to the State
by forwarding them to the Financial Bureau,
at Nashville, Immediately, for which fair
compensation will be allowed. Your prompt
attention will be appreciated.

Experiments with the Minnie Ball

Experiments with the Minnie Ball.
Experiments conducted for several days
by direction of the Military and Financial
Board, demonstrate that the Minnie ball, in
the Tennessee rife, with the same charge of
powder used with the round ball has a range
and force three fold that of the round ball.
A rife carrying 100 balls to the pound,
used with the ordinary sight is at 800 yards,
most deadly weapon, projecting the ball
with greater accuracy and force than the ri
fled musket. The rife of larger calibre has
greater range and force.
The ball should be of less diameter than
the round ball, so as to admit of great ra-
pidity in loading. The cartridges should be
dipped, or if a cartridge is not used, the ball
should be dipped in compound of beeswax
and tsllow, and patch should not be used.
A rifle thus used may be fired 100 times
without cleaning.
1t is thought proper to call the attention
of the people of the State to this fact, SO
that they may know the value of the weapon
which all possess.
Newspapers throughout the State will
please copy.
