Il not this the effect and is it not designed to be
the effect, of this most Ubiquitous bill. Let us once
more examine its provisions, and then decide.
1t provides for the appointment Of Board of
Tax Commissioners, who are to enter upon their
duties wherever the military authority of the Yam
kee Government has been established and who are
TO sell the land in all where the refuse

provided that the land may be redeemed wherever

Left home to join the rebels the ease is still worse,
for then the Yankee Government comes in, takes
full possession without any farther ceremony and
may lease otherwise dispose Of them, until the
election of loyal Legislature nniess, in the
time the Board Of Commissioners think proper to
subdivde it, and sell ii in papes 10 loyai ctisan,
any person, Nhahef citizen not, who shall have

The pre- emption principle is engrafied on the law
in order To hold out Inducements to men to 81 'iSt
EIr ths invasion ct country, ana thereby swell
the number Of the Yankee army to the greatest
possible extent. THUS the property Of every man
who is fighting for his country is swept away by
this bil!-the most Internal eon'riyanee that Yankee
malice has yet conceived for the destruction Of The
Southern people.
But the worst fen.ure of the ia,yif there can be
any ssrst where all is supreme!y bad-is that which
provides for selling The land in small parcels TO
those persons who have served in the army
