linking the Oath.

For the information of such as seem dis
posed to doubt the fact, we can state that all
the members of the Legislature took an oath
to support the Constitution OF the Confeder-
ate States and of The State oil Tennessee. The
Senator alluded to in one of the papers as
having hesitated, only did so, as we under
stood him, on account of legal difficulty
which had arisen in his mind. Having all
promptly accepted the obligations required,
we hope it will not be considered necessary to
agitate any more on the subject. Indeed, we
shall begin to doubt the purity and honesty of
any man, no matter how early or ultra he may
have beeu in the Southern cause, who insists
upon dragging In the past, and says to every
one less extreme than himself ''stand aside, /
am holier than thon!n We know there are
parties in Eas' Tennessee who wish success
to Lincoln's arms, and who will never stop
until some of them get their necks broke; but
when those who have been "Union men"
manifest willingness TO acquiesce in the
new order of things, and cheerfully comply
with the obligations thereof, it is ungenerous,
unwise, unpatriotic, and self-dishonoring to
doubt their honesty and sincerity. We hope
this friendly hint will be received in the spirit
in which il is given, and that there will be
no occasion to reeur to the subject.

The Sick VOiunteers--Youth s, a Great
Promotion of Them

We copy the following extract of a letter
from Richmond to the Charleston Courier:
The War Department has adopted wise
provision in regard TO the disabled soldiers
of the Confederacy.- Her. after it will offer an
honorable discharge and free conveyance TO
their homes, TO all soldiers whose wounds or
sickness are likely to prevent their return to
active service within four months. The SOL
der of course need not accept his discharge,
but very few will refuse the opportunity to
be returned safely to the homes where loving
hands are ready to administer TO the wants
of the suffering. This course will save the
Confederacy great amount of money; tor
under the old system the disabled soldier not
only costs the Government his hospital ex-
penses. but was entitled at the same time to
his regular monthly wages.
a great proportion of our sick soldiers are
boys. The practice of permitting boys to en-
list in the army for active service cannot be
too strongly condemned. OF course the dis
play of patriotism the part of our chival-
Tous youth is very gratif, lug, but the cir
cumstances show that our boys can be of far
more service to the State reserve than in
the field, exposed to the terrible hardships of
campaign.
At the Office of the Assistant Quartermaster
General, which sometimes visit. have been
struck with the extreme youth of many of the
homes, There stand boys scarcely fifteen or
sixteen years of age, pale, shrivelled and
wan, bent with disease, their half formed and
outraged constitutions speaking for them
selves against the folly of the system. These
boys will fight as long and shoot as accurate
1y as any man on the field of battle, but they
do not possess the bodies to support their
great souls. They are unequal to the task
OF lighting against scanty food, heavy work,
forced marches, extreme heat and extreme
cold. and are the very first to fall victims TO
the prevailing camp epidemics. They be-
come, therefore, burden instead of help
to the republic. While we have men enough
to fight our battles, let the youths be kept at
home, either in their schools, OF, if their
martial valor outstrips all curbs, in military
training. With constant attendance in the
drill room and the gymnasium, the Southern
youths Of sixteen will tour years hence be-
come the most effective soldiers in the Con-
federacy. The Spartans were the most hardy
and Athletic troops in the world, for by the
laws of LYCURGUS the Spartan Was forced 10
spend his youth in training for a military Ca
reer, and was not admitted into the army
until he had attained the age of twenty.

Sam. Houston.
We find the following in the ". O. Dsta of
hn 9Th inst.


HoUsToN, Oct. 8. 1861.
You will see in the Galveston papers of yes
tarday, a report that Gen. Sam. Houston is
dead. This report is premature. The Gen
eral is very sick, indeed; you may not be
surprised to hear he is dead, by the next
mail. He was, however, alive, and some
hopes were entertained of his recovery,
twenty-four hours after the report of his
death reached Galveston. His residence
since be left the Governors chair, has been
at the head of Galveston Bay, in Harris
county, at place called Cedar Point, where
he had retired very much from the world, to
spend his last days in peace and quiet, amid
his bleating fiocks and lowing herds. AS un-
popular as his political course, for the last
six ears, has been, the people of Texas will
sincerely mourn his loss when he does pass
away, nor will the fact that a month ago he
come out unequivocally for the Confederate
States at ali lessen the good feeling which
will attach to the name of the dead hero. L
trust, however, to have no occasion to write
his eulogy for years to come.
