To the People OF Union County,
North Carolina.

Ny attention has recently been called TO q commu-
nication in the Democrat of the 22d December signed
by "Many Soldiers from Union County," nominating
me for seat in the House of Commons at the NEXT
regular election and in reply would say that thank
my brother soldiers for the very haterng manner in
which they have been pleased to speak OF me. They
certainly give me credit for ability Than possess.
One thing must say. that have never sought public
Office 10 any manner, having any desire To enter
the of political strife but believe that IL is the
duty of every his country in capacity
where his services be most beneficial TO Der inter-
esis therefore accept the nomination. and IL the coll
diers and citizens Of this county feel disposed 10 elect
me- will certainly them to the best Of my abi
~. would also say that 10 is not my Intention TO re-
the from the military service of my country, but
elected will attend the sessions % the General Assem-
bly, and return to the army after its adjournment
As regards my political principles, would say, that
am opposed to the suspension Of the writ OF habeaa
corpus as it would destroy civil government and the
right of trial by jury
1 am also opposed any act of government affect
ing the rights Of the citizen to the elective franchise
il would tend to destroy the great bulwarks Of
political freedom.
| am not in favor OF every thing that President Davis
the heads, of the different Departments have seen
fit, in their wisdom, to do. believe many great err
have been Committed; but, Notwithstanding am
in favor of giving the Administration our united sup
port therein lies only salvation from Yankee
rule and the final triumph of the South as an iudePen-
dent people.
l am in favor Of larger appropriation being made
for the support of soldiers wives and families as con-
slider the late appropriation inadequate for their sup
port and believe that depots for provisions should be
established in the different sections OF the country so
that each family could be supplied with provisions by
the member OF the board resident at that point.
am also in favor of increasing the soldiers pay to
the ratio of living wages, as believe the duos and
exposure of camp life merits at least much pay ~
those in civil life.
The above are some of my views in BRIEF hastily
drawn up and just they presented themselves 10 my
mind l give them that the people Of the county
know them.
l am very respectfully, your obi servant,
THOMAS r. MAGILL,
4th G Regiment, Rutledge Cavalry.

-'Whereas, the alarming and fearful tendency of
the Confederate Government toward military des-
potism by the enactment of unjust and oppressive
laws to her citizens is just cause of complaint &c.
The above is an extract from preamble to some
resolutions adopted by a so-caed public meeting''
in Rockingham county. Such assertions are I'M
necessary and uniustfed by facts. There is not a
particle of evidence to sustain the charge that the
tendency of the Confederate Government is towards
military despotism. Neither President Davis nor
Congress have done ything to justify such decla-
rations. Every law passed by Congress has been
sustained constitutional. 1t is true of them
have caused Inconvenience to citizens. but can
we expectso save homes from ruin and secure
independence without suffering Inconvenience. War
is calamity, but when it is forced upon self
preservation requires US to adopt and submit to
such measures may be necessary for our defence,
though they bear hard and seem harsh. 1t may be
considered "oppressive' to force to takapp
in defence of his country, but it is necessary
to do to protect rights, persons and property
Some of our people do not need any force to make
them do their duty but there is large class of per-
who would see the perish and the brave
volunteers annhated by the enemy, before they
would &c to the unless forced to do by
law. No doubt many of the agtators and partici
pators in public meetings. belong to this class
No wonder they raise howl about oppression
and 'military despotsm.' Pigs always squeal
when their tails pinched.
But President Davis has done nothing tosjustfy
such declarations this Rockingham and other
factious meetings make. Wherein has he offended!
how, and at what time! 1t is a notorious fact that
he is the forbearing and cautious Chief Magis
trate any nation ever had in time of war. He has
nterfered with the freedom of speech or the
freedom of the press. Men have used reasonable
language and excited the prejudices of the unin-
formed against the Confederate Government few
newspapers have advised course of action which
will result in breach of peace here at home and
which encourages enemies to make upon
US but the President has never interfered with
either. In no instance has he transcribed his
authority. In fact he has not exercised as much
power many think he ought to have done. Yet
he is denounced tyrant and designing men call
public meetings to protest against military despot
ism! What humbuggery.

A recent estimate made in Richmond, shows
that the cost of a private soldier to the Govern
ment is 81 $50 per annum. Thousands of the off,
GERS in the army arc not receiving so much by two
or three hundred dollars.
We learn from gentleman that Yankee green
backs were selling in Bermuda at 62E cents on
the dollar, and Confederate greybacks at 20 CENTS
the latter being u cents more valuable in the es-
timation Of the Bermudisns than the "pronises to
pay" Of the Lincoln Government.
The amount of duties on imports collected in
the Contederacy last year is said to have been
about 100000 dollars. This, We suppose, was
mainly collected a, Wilmington and Charleston; a
little at Mobile and Brownsville and sone at Rich
mond on goods run through the blockade across
the Potomac.

BAD EFFECTs.-We learn from good authority
that some persons in some of the counties west of

way some have already been induced TO desert.
