The daily bulletin. [volume] (Winchester, Tenn) 1862-1863, 1862-12-12

These amounts for the several district, a,
arrived ut from the relative wealth of thu Al,
tricts as shown by the tax book.
1t is not intended that persons in the Arm,
shall pay part of this sum but every ma
who is at home Is expected to contribute n
| exact rateuble portion to make up the amour
according to his taxables, or trade, if bp
engaged in any lucrative business.
For this purpose, a list has been prepare
from the tar book, and each citizen will be AK
ed to contribute his portion. A bound book win Z
be kept, in which all the names and mOuDh
are entered, and those who pay will have h,
book credited, Opposite the names of tho
who do not pay upon application, will be yri,
ten refused" This book will be filed in h,
County Clerks office. so that when a tar
levied for this purpose the court may, if it will
allow each man who has paid, n credit on Nj
taxes to the extent of his credit on the book.
This course is taken because there are NAM
families in the country, families of men VII,
have been in the service, some of them, eight
cen months, and others less) who are now h
actual need.
There is no compulsion on any man to civ.
but an appeal is made to all, and the follOwiv
considerations are presented. ;.
l. Did you, directly or indirectly, agree thai
the families of those who went out to fgh,
should not suffer? If you did, tho argumeu
with yon is at an end
Suppose, however, you made no such agree
ment, still, however, you are one Of the men
who, by your vote for separation, accepaed the
issue of war rendered by Lincoln. YOG said
if Lincoln wants n fight let us put forth our
strength and give him one. You knew We
had no army, and had to make one out of cit.
izens. Your ~ncighbor went into the field, and
you and | staid ut home Now are we not a
much bound to support this war as he who vA.
unteered? and yet how does the account >land,
Why. if W e were to pay the amount asked fr
every month in the year, we would not BIZ con,
tributing one half as much, all things cOn,i.
cred, as the volunteer who is in the servir
who gives all his time-sacrificcs nom inter
estS, and home pleasures, perhaps impairs BIZ
health, and certainly risks his. lifc-and al b
~ common cause. Now. upon these considen.
tions. shall We not see that his family does not
suffer while he is gone? When we shall have
done so. will we not have the best Of it? =
All agree that $1,000 will barely r%eIievetp
wants of families who are in .ecd. and The
proportion of each citizen ut home, is mad
with care from the tax book. The money
non needed, and l have for district No. ! the
list made out. So | will be under many obi
cations if all will at once come into my Office
and contribute his rateable amount, so thattb
relief may be at once given. 1t / have tOg
over the district and see every citizen, it will
take much time and cause delay in giving th
relief so much needed.
The agents in the several districts will muh
facilitate this movement by at once comingD
town and procuring a list of the persons and
taxables in their respective districts.
To agents and citizens. let me say in conclr
sion. let us do our duty and make u record that
will be honorable even to old Franklin.
