BOuntieS.

From the commencement of the war, we
have been among the number who believe
in paying liberal bounties to those who
leave their families, friends and business
to enter the military service Of the United
States. We believe this, in principle, is
right. A country, government with ali
the protection, both direct and incidental,
which it affords, sheds its blessings, to q
greater or less extent, upon all its citizens.
Every man has personal interest at stake
in this contest. The poor man needs the
protection Of the government, because he
is poor whilst the rich man needs the
same protection, because he is rich. The
more property man has, the moro he has
at stake The volunteer, when he goes
into the military service Of the United
States, goes not for himself alone; he goes
not only to protect his own property, but
also the property of his neighbor-hence
there is no earthly reason why he should
make all the sacrifice. And there is no
way In which the matter can be equalized
between him and his neighbors except by
a pecuniary consideration by way of
bounty. To leave this thing to be regu-
lated by the voluntary contributions of
the people of town or city, would be to
allow the misery and penurious to escape
from paying anything, and compel the
generous and liberal minded to bear the
whole burden.
The only equitable way to reach the
matter is by taxation. Let the towns and
cities act in their corporate capacity, and
under the sanction of the Legislature, vote
and pay bounties to those who go. Taxea
of this sort are never paid grudgingly by
loyal men. If men do have to sacrifice
something by way of legal contributions,
they ought not to complain. The sacrifice
they make is not for single moment to
be compared with that Of the man who
takes his life in hand, leaves his wife,
family, children and friends, and goes to
distant land to brave the dangers Of the
battle field, the diseases of the camp, and
the thousand inconveniences and ills incl
dent to soldiers life. Money, when put
in the balance against human life, is
nothing--it sinks into utter insignifcanee.
This rebellion must be put down, and we
must have men to do it. Volunteers make
the best soldiers, therefore it Is wisdom
and good policy for cities and towns, under
the recent call of the President, to vote
and pay liberal bounties to all such as
respond to this call. The men who vol
UNFAIRLY risk all for their country, in this,
the hour of its peril, deserve not only
nations gratitude, but deserve also to be
most generously dealt by pecrniarily.

tin is now in Washington, erdeayoring to

The sDoils Of conquest are retained by their

the revolver and other accoutrements OF che

An Interesting Inclden, or the war

The following extract from letter addressed
by youns officer at shclbyville, Tenn, l. a
friend in Richmond pays a just tribute to the
character Of Cen. Loouilas Polk, while il
commentaries tao galantry Of tho color
bearer, Sergeant Oakley, Of Col. McMunay's
regiment the 4th Tennessee, as exhibited at
the battle Of Murheesboro on tho 3lst Of
December last:
Yesterday had tho honor TO ride around
the camps with Lieut.. Gen. Polk and General
Chcaiham, who wero on grand inspectir q
tour The camps all looked in fine order. the
guns bright and tho men in the very best
spirits
Gen. Polk, after questioning Col. McMurray
about the condition OF his regiment said
where is the color bearer? Sergeant Oakley
q young man about eighteen or twenty wears
Old, stepped out in front of the whole repi.
ment, dressed in common butternut leans. with
real modesiy and unaffected manner and took
off his cap. Gen. Polk ungloved his hand
and said, must shake hands with yon. and
then raising his hat, said with great feeling
and real martial eloquence, ! am proud Ia
uncover in the presence Of 50 gallant man.
The effect was tremendous and shout rent
the air. This young Oakley at The battle Of
Murireesboro advanced his colors some two
hundred yards in front Of bis regiment under
a terrific fire. A battery was playing upon
the regiment and it was uncertain whether il
was our battery or that Of the enemy. This
color bearer advanced in front, displaying his
colors in conspicuous manner, 80 as to stop
the firing if they were friends or to make il
moro intense if they were enemies The in.
creased severity Of the firing which immedi.
atey followed determined the doubt and
showed them to belong to the enemy. He
then deliberately resumed his place in the
line We silenced their battery and drove
back the opposing column. The high com.
plment which Gen. Polk paid him made that
young man as proud as king. 1t was an
honor greater than the Star or Garter. He
and that Whole regiment will fight until the
last man falls" Y. T. IL.
