CHATTANOOGA AS IT Is.


Chattanooga grows. Itwould be a hard
task for an enemy to capture it and it i
becoming more SO every day. The late
supposed proximity of General Hood had
decided good effect. The dirt few IN
those days more than it was wont. The
famous l4th Colored Infantry exereise
themselves in the drill two days out of ev.
cry seven, one day they rest from their Ia
bors, and on the remaining four they work
on the Notifications of Chattanoops, Tbev

become by long tutoring, they labor well,
Chattanooga is literally a walled in citv
The huge parspets Of clay stretch around
two sides of it, from the lem see above
to the Tennessee below, and there is no an.
trance into it except across the river OF
through the gates in the wall. Through
these the great trains, laden with man. and
meat, and horses, rumble in and out ana
through them swarm the mixed multitude
Of men who now congregate here, waiting
to 60 toward the front.
Chattanooga has become a CITY of entar.
prise, and noted for its public spirit. Not
only has it completed a system of exten-
sive waler-works, but warned bv the great

Labor pays the Taxes.

! 1t IS truly said that the people of this coun~
try have not yet begun to feel the effects of
| the taxation that is in store for them. The
value of the real and personal estate in the l.
nited States in 1860 was ST. 1000, 900, ,000.-
This amont embraced the whole lnon North,
South East and West. 1t must be admitted
that the amount at this time is much less. Up
on what there is left is to fall the enormous debt
of 81, ZOO, ,000,0 ,000 Therefore, so much of
the capital of the country is sunk--is worse
than destroyed because it is burden, a dead
weight upon what there is left for ali tine to
come.
The bonds issued by the United States are to
draw interest, but they are ereapt from tdTutoa.
The effect of this is that the farmer and mechan-
ic must pay, while the capitalist who has ready
cash to invest escapes taxation by investing his
money in United States bonds.
In this way this immense debt of 81 ,O00,-
100000 is Withdrawn from the productive cap
ital Of the country, and becomes burden upon
the remainder. The question naturally arises,
as TO how far it is safe to carry such system.
and have we not reached the limit already The
farmer and the mechanic pay the taxes, while
the rich man, who has invested his capital in
bonds, is exempt, and not obliged TO pay cent.
The rich are to grow richer, and the poor poor
er, under such laboring men of the country
Labor is taxed, while capital becomes privileged
and escapes. 1t is therefore, for the interest of
every farmer, every Mechanic, every laboring man
of small means, that the debt shall not be in
creased.
Already the Government Mortgage upon ev-
cry farm and every house and lot, is enormous,
and every dayss continuance Of this reckless
Administration increases it. So long as the
Republican party continue in power, we have
no reason to expect to see an end to this strug

The Working Classes.

The wrongs of the working classes are close
ly hidden under veil of spurious prosperity.
Because working men receive generally little
higher wages than formerly, it is said they are
prosperous and happy. But this is not So
Look a. il in its true hight. Under the reign
of Shoddy. a man may receive fifty per cent,
er Let him answer
81 now pay three times more than formerly
for nearly every article of clothing for my fam
ily and double, or more, for coffee, tea, sugar,
and all the other necessaries of Iife.-I find it
growing every day more difficult to make my
income square off my outgoes, to say nothing
of The impossibility of laying up anything against
a rainy day"
Such is that Abolition and Shoddy ''prosper-
ity' which is rung in the ears of our Working
men when their votes are wanted to help shod-
dyites to fat contracts and demagogues to fat
offices. The seeming prosperity is hollow; it
is lie upon its face. 1t raises the wages OF
labor for time, and at the same time increases,
to a much greater extent, the price of every
article the laborer must buy for himself and
family. In the meantime Shoddy gets well paid
| for its investments; Abolition parasites get rich
offices and plenty of public plumber, and are
merry and jubilant over the ruin of their coun-
fry and the poverty and misery that have come
and are coming upon It's toiling millions

The WHITE SLAVES PETITION.
BY RICHARD RocKDALE.

How long must the reign of Mammon
Cypress the world with woe?
How long must Justice. blinded,
Be led by the wicked foe
How lorg must we sit in the shadow
ot the worlds great sorrow and wrong 2
How long must we dwell in bondage
How long, dear Father, how long
With patience have we waited
The hour of freedoms birth
of peace, and love, and Justice,
Through all the ends of earth:
But the night is growing darker,
And hope hath ceased her song,
How long ere the morning breaketh-
How long, dear Father, how long?
Our hearts are sad and weary,
Our souls are sick with fear;
Awhile, and We quickly perish,
With all our loved ones here
The world is lost in darkness,
Where fearful phantoms throng;
How long must We wait his coming
How 'ong, dear Father, how long2
Except these days be shortened,
No human flesh car live;
The help that now is needed,
Thou, only Thou, cans't give;
he wicked are in our councils,
And work the ends of wrong;
How long lust we live and suffer
How long, dear Father, how Iong9
We pray in The name of Justice,
We pray In the name of Right
For the sake OF Love and Mercy,
We ask for the boon of light
The fangs of MammoI are fastened
Alike on the weak and strong;
And we sink in Death and Darkness
dow long, dear Father, how long?

THE ELECTION FARCEIN LOUISIANA

Gen. James M. Ashley, of Ohio, is a mem
Der of Congress who is very apt to say what he
thinks. He is an uncompromsing Republicans
but this circumstance does not prevent HIM from
having a most contemptuous opinion OF Mr..
Lincoln, and his demagogcal trick for getting
voters for his own reelection, by the farce OF
holding elections in rebel States where we have
only the most precarious footing for our armies,
and where, the instant that they are withdrawn,
the whole community a unit in expressing
their attachment to the rebel cause. Recently,
in speech delivered in Congress, Gen. Ashley
made the following state ment with reference to
the late elections in Louisiana. He sald
