their great alarm, and since that time the sing.

EAST TENNESSEE-THE CAMPAIGN.
The Union majority in East Tennessee, in.
stead Of being 10000 or $4,000, is now set
down ut 10000.
Upon general view Of the slave States enst
Of the Mississippi, they exhibit n dissttected
rim skirting the Mississippi river, the Gulf Of
Mexico, and the Atlantic, enclosing an elevated
plateau, which is occupied by loyal popua
ton. The lowlands, which constitute this dis.
affected rim, are characterized by the presence
of large proportion Of slaves. The highlands,
which constitute the central region, are com.
psratively free from that social and political
curse. ~ ~ ...- - rs he.

North Carolina, East Tennessee, North Ala.

ern South Carolina, are loyal. East Tennes.
see, which is the centre Of this central plateau,
is not only loyal, but belligereuty loyal. Its
people are not only ready to 6gh,, but they are
determined TO fight, in defence Of their liberties
and nationality.
This central plateau embraces the Cherokee
country, acquired by Gen. jackson twenty five
years ago, and which he regarded as so essen.
tal to the unity aud integrity Of the South. 1t
is over that country that the great railroads do
pass and must pass, which unite Memphis and
Charleston, and the Southwest, with Virginia.
This geographical description points out what
the plan of the summer campaign ought to be.
1t is simply to take advantage of the loyalty of
East Tennessee, which is easy Of access through
East Kentucky, and thereby reduce the South
to what Gen. Jackson said it was before the
Cherokee acquisition, "a mere rim" The
great railroad from the Southwest to Virginia
runs through East Tennessee for more than
two hundred miles. 1t can be cut off at
blow. The same thing is true Of the Memphis
and Charleston railroad.
The eutire Of this elevated region Of the South,
which is loyal, is favorable to the health of
troops in q summer campaign, much more go,
indeed, than the average Of the places where
our troops are now located.
And it is this region which embraces the
best part of the military strength Of the South.
Our men are vigorous, accustomed to arms and
to hardships, brave and warlike. These noun.
tain men have been very little debauched by
slavery, either physically or politically. They
preserve the virtues as we'll as the traditions of
the old revolutionary stock, and It is to them
we must look to control, TO save, and to reform
the South.

TAXES.

On the 9Th Of January, 1915, Congress passed
a law imposing a direct tax Of six millions Of
dollars. Our population has quadruplsd since
that time, and our wealth has increased in q
vastly greater proportion. 1t was after the i'm.
poverishment Of o considerable period Of war,
preceded by still longer period Of embargo
and non.ntercourse, that this direct tax Of six
millions wns imposed. And it was imposed,
while other taxes, not now known, were in ex.
istence, such as upon watches, pleasure car.
riages, household furniture, merchants licenses,
&c.
IT is said that q direct tax cannot now be
levied, for the reason that it would not be col
lected in certain States. This is very made.
quate reason.
The act of January 9, 1915, allowed to the
States, whose governments would come for
ward within certain dates, and pay their quotas
of the direct tax, certain sbatements. But if
the State governments did not pay, the act pro.
vided the official machinery by which the tax
was to be apportioned upon and collected from
individual property. II our jurisdiction is never
asserted over the States now seeded, We shall,
Of course, collect no taxes from them, but that
public exigeucies demand it. But as soon and
as fast as our jurisdiction is extended South,
we can collect direct, as well as indirect taxes,
and as well taxes in arresr, as future taxes.
The taxing power reaches individuals, and uu.
less the real estate of the South disappears
by some incomprehensible process, there will
be no difficulty in collecting taxes whenever we
assert the national Jurisdiction.
We do not particularly advocate direct taxes
upon property. Not that we have not decided
opinions upon that point, but because we are
willing to cooperate in any plan which shall
exclude the idea Of carrying on this war wholly
by loans.
We shall support any tax of excise, or upon
most votes in Congress. But large, sweeping,
and vigorous taxation in some form, involves
question Of essential duty, which We shall
compromise with no man and no party.
The New York Tribune opposes everything
but custom.house duties, and calls for hundreds
of millions Of notes and bonds, which it says
will readily be taken, if all the patriots in tn :
country will join in advising the people to
take them. 1t is impossible to foresee what
patriots may do, but no honest man will be
concerned iu cajoling others out Of their prop.
erty, by advising them to take the obligations
of o Government which has not the 6rmness
and virtue to impose necessary taxes.
