LETTER FROM A SOLDIER.

NASHVILLE, Tenn.
Mn. EDIToR:-The last commu-
nication which I sent to your paper
called forth from one Of my COM
pany commanders considerable of
threatening, in case I should be
guilty of a like otFense. The threat
was in the "Register," and 1 never
would have known of it, if some of
the boys had not shown it to me.
q cannot tell why, but no one ever
said q word to me condemnatory of
the article.) So 1 must be careful
this time to write nothing that will
bring upon me the wrath of my
officers; but I will take the oppor-
tunity of penning a few thoughts,
which you may publish, If you
choose.
We occasionally see a newspaper
here in the army, and a principal
subject under consideration we find
is measures by which peace may be
again restored to our country, and
these measures are presented and
supported chiefly by the Domo.

redeem the nation from the harm
it has done. The scorn and ridi-
Guile of the whole civilized world,
it has been to America the direst
of calamities. In its contempt tor
human liberty, in the name of free
dom, it has stricken down the bull
wark Of civil liberty and free insti-
tutions, by surrendering the per-
sonal liberty of the citizen to the
caprice of tie Executive; proclaim
ing this the freest and best Gov
erument ever given by God to man,
it has reduced it to the level Of the
meanest military despotism by a
CONSUMPTION Bill such as never
disgraced any civilized country but
Russia and Austria. To carry out
its scheme of Abolition bogus phi
lanthropy for the negro, it has
poured out with reckless unconcern
the blood of hundreds OF thousands
of white men; and to fill the pock-
cts of its political and military pots,
army contractors and war specula-
tors, it has impoverished the whole
country, and Their, as a farewell
gift, voted q billion of dollars to the
present Administration as q cor
ruption fund to influence future
elections. Robbery, faction, and
tyranny have been upheld, while
the Constitution has been trampled
under foot, and the will Of the peo'
Pile set at defiance. A record SO
base, of speeches and acts, never
disgraced any legislative body be.

will only have to point the finger
of scorn and contempt to the say
ings and doings Of the Thirty.

AMENDMENTS TO TIE REVENUE
BILL.

BILL. (
The following are among some of the most
important amendm snts, agreed to in the
House, to the Revenue Bill. They interest
tradesmen and business men generally, and
are we'll worthy a careful %perusal:
The duties of the Assistant Assessors are
more clearly defined; but have no important
bearing only as they affect them. Attorneys
having taken out q license, shall not be re-
quired to have another, for letting or selling
property for others. Apothecaries, regular.
ly licensed, shall need no additional license
to sell alcohol.
Architects and civil engineers shall pay
$40 license.
Builders and contractors shall pay $2j, OK
cept those whose building contracts do not
exceed $500 per annum.
Stations and jacks, owners of, shall pay
$l0 license.
Lottery ticket dealers or policy vendors
shall pay 81 600.
Insurance agents shall pay $40, except
when the receipts are less than $500 per
annum.
Butchers SHALL pay $40, exccptthose whose
annual sales do rot exceed 81 700.
Retail dealers, whose annual sales do not
exceed $4,000, pay a license Of $40.
Wholesale dealers, whose sales do not ex-
coed $4,000, $2j, n
Between $1,000 and 500. 900, $50. 2
Between $1,000 0 and $3.50, 600, $l0D.

Between $500, 900 ard 81 900, 900, $500.
Between 81, 900, OO0 and 81, OOO, 900, $500.
And $3.50 for every million Of sales above
two millions. ~
All sales of gold or silver coin or bullion
and all loans on these metals are required to
be made IN writing, and the writing stamped
to the value of one quarter of one per cent.
(rcckoncd in currency # the contract is
made for three days or less; aud to pay one
per cent, if for more than three days; pro.
vided, however, that if Government is Il
party no charge shall be made. Any person
who deals. in gold or silver coin or bullion
other than by writing and after this fashion,
shall be mulcted in severe penalties; and in
case of violation, any party may sue and re-
co Ter back the money he has paid at any
time within a yea. afterward.
We see, says the New York Journal of
Commerce, no provision for discriminating
between short and long dates in promissory
notes, which, is one ofthe greatest evils under
the present act, A man who berrt VS. fifteen
hundred dollars for thirty days, and rcncws
it monthly for six months, will have paid
three dollars and sixty cents in stamps, while
one note running the sam time will only pay
sixty cents, A true financial policy should
discriminate in faytr of short loans, and not
against them. Another error in the present
act is to charge note ofS5, 800 with S stamp
Of 81 so, while W. notes, one Of IS 900 and
one of $500, would pay only 81 10 in the
aggregate. These rates shall need careful
revision, and we make these suggestions as
it is not yet too late.

mate, the other bogus.
Did not this man, Morris tell the

times" peace and plenty
would smile upon the whole coun-
try? Has he not deceived them?
Did he not attempt a few months
ago to prove that we would be q
richer people after the war than be-
fore? Is that honest? Has he not
urged and entreated young men to
volunteer, but will not do it him
self? Is that honorable? is it man
ly? Stand up, Morris, and answer?
Now, a great many persons are OPP
posed to these dishonorable prac-
tises of yours, but nobody proposes
to mob you. You are entitled to
your opinions, and should be char
table enough to allow Others to
enjoy theirs without brandingt them
as "trailors" or "secessionists."
You have had your way of pros
ecuting this war for two years, and
still the matter is growing worse,
and is it not proper that some other
remedy should be applied? Look
at the distress, the wido VS. and the
orphans, the desolation of homes
Have you no soul to feel and sym

oring to dry up this fountain OF
tears and bloo1shed? Answer, MIR,
Morris. Abe Lincoln opposed the
Mexican war, and said "the blood
of the slain in Mexico would rise
to Heaven for vengeance on James
K. Polk" Was he a traitor, and
did he deserve hanging? You, Mr.
Morris, said you "would throw up
your hat in joy if the Southern
States would 60 out of the Union!!'
Was that treason? Did you de.
serve hanging for such language?
Was your freedom of speech, OF
your life threatened by any of your
neighbors? Is there any honesty oil
consistency in your course? Have
you not been, and are you not still
pursuing a very dlshonorablc, dis
reputable business? Answer, Mr.
Morris. Genuine patriotism is &
noble virtue; but the sham is ''tht
last refuge of scoundrels." Who
that has observed your course close.
ly, can say that yours ia not of the
latter quality? Had you been hon.
