EKssRs. EDITORS The Yankee Government having
found at last that it is utterly mpossble to suhugate
the Southern cIle AID confscae the property
its debt, has hit upon grand ami mdgaif Cent
scheme" to raise money Gu: Of its cizans. The
Yankee Congress has recently passed " OoHScTtphGn
Bull" they call it but which should have been entitled
frighten the SOUTH bamboozle the North vest
and raise to help pay eff the Abolition war debt
This bill by declaring that all persons in the Uni
between the ages twenty and years,
except Vice President heads of the departments at
Wash ngton, Governors of States Sons of poor wGOWs
etc. shall be liable to CONSUMPTION; it does
exempt the Ministers of the Gospel! And the lying Yam
newspapers sag that three millions OF soldiers will be
raised under it. The NV York Herald the "bjggeSt liar
them all says will raise four million But pursue
the bill little farther Cd, and find clause which DECLARE
that any PERSON liable to Corscrto under ths Act
obtain discharge the payment of three hundred dol
lars. Let make calculation: The history OF Europe,
which but history of wars info US that only ten per
centum of population, are fit for solders The YanFee
contains population of twenty Million ten Pr
cent of that amount is two million. The Yankees say
themselves that half of tbs Eumber-one milonhave
already gone into the army. Now it is fair to presume
that Dot more than ten per cent OF the million liable TO
CONSUMPTION poor mean degraded ard friendess
