How THE NEWSPAPERS KILLED SOLDIER
TIE REsuLr.-Just after the fight at Belmont
met Major, now called Colonel Cole, OF the 9th
Confederate Regiment, Severely wounded in the
late battle at Chattanooga With Cole was an
old man named Gibbons Coles orderly. / was
then a newspaper correspondent, and sought from
Major Cole information as TO the details Of the
fight on his part of the field. He gave them, aud
at the same time the names Of the killed Of his
Regiment Just here "old Gibbons" interrupted
us, and insisted that bis name should be on the
published list of the slain. He assigned as q rea-
son. that his wife a termigant that he could
live at home in peace and had therefore joined
the army. lie wished her to suppose him dead,
aud then perhaps she would regret the wanton
wrongs she had done him.
Seeing no special harm To result I added to my
memoranda " Paul Gibbons, brave old soldier
belonging to Col Picketts regiment, was shot be.
tween the eyes while fighting CALAMITY beside
Major Cole" l bad the testimony Of Cole and Of
Gibbons himself and surely this was enough Tor q
veracious letter writer. Shortly afterwards l met
the correspondent Of the newspaper, and
we exchanged notes. The letters appeared, and
the death Of Gibbons was duly announced.
The little paper published in the village whence
Gibbous came, pronounced a touching eulogiuul,
aud to the great world beyond the army, Gibbons
was more.
Six months afterwards went down the Tennes-
see in a skif from Chattanooga TO reach our army,
then encamped at Tupelo. One day riding along
our lines was accosted by care-worD old man,
whom / did not recognize. "Don't you know meg"
he asked in tremuous accents. 81 am the man
whom you killed at Belmont" could not repress
an exclamation Of denial and amazement, the terms
of which need not be reproduced. He then ex-
planned that had "killed him in the newspapers"
that "hs wife had administered on his estate, sold
his negroes and married again"
| asked him what / could do for him His
wo.begnne looks white hairs and fearful eyes,
touched all my sympathies. He answered that 1
"must resurrect him" Sad was Gibbons face,
and sincerely as l regretted what bad done,
laughed till my sides ached. The old man grew
angry at length, and swore he would shoot me.
The joke vanished, and become instantly serious
In solemn accents promised to resuscitate him
through the columns Of every newspaper in the
South. Soon, however, the Federal invaders came
to the village in which Gibbons had lived His
home was plundered and burned, and bis slaves
euticed away 10 starve in Yankee garrison. The
old man died, aud was buried perhaps-no one eau
designate the spot. We never heard of him after
we left Northern Mississippi-Aaanta Register.

Correspondence Of the Western Democrat
HEADo's N C. CAVALRY BRIGADE,

hEADQ . ~ w. NAR ALhf 1)RlGADE, I
April L., 1864.
Mr. Editor: Hoping that you will be kind
enough to indulge me in few remarks, Will at
tempt my first piece to a newspaper. AS it is
generally the custom of soldiers, when writing, to
speak about their respective commands, l will not
omit saying few words in regard to our brigade.
This brigade-Baker's, commonly known in the
army as the "Nor:h Carolina Cavalry Brigade
is now commanded by that gallant and dashing
officer, Brig Gen. James b. Gordon. Ever since
the first organization of our brigade, 18th Sept,
1863 Gen. Gordon has commanded it, winning
laurels not only for himself but for his men, State
and country showing the croakers and 'whipped
men" of North Carolina that what courage they
once possessed, if any, has been transmitted to the
brave souls of the n G. soldiers. The lst I'd,
4th and 5th n cavalry Regiments compose this
Brigade-generally known among the cavalry as
the star heels.
We are now encamped near Milford Station, on
the Richmond, Fred. & Potomac Railroad. We
all anticipated fine treat by hearing Gov. Vance
axe one of his amusing and patriotic speeches at
Hanover junction, during his visit to this army,
but unfortunately, from cause, he was not
able to visit US. Why the people at home can
support Mr. Holden i'll preference to Gov. Vance,
with all his ickleness and changing about, is more
than we soldiers able to comprehend. Mr.
Holden, to hear him speak for himself, is always
supporting the "poor soldier" but Gov Vance's
actious speak louder than Mr. Holden's words.
Mr. Holdep's "supports" in the Raleigh Stan
dard in the shape of notAi"g. Gov. Hance's sup
ports" are in Virginia in the shape of shoes,
blankets clothes, &c.
The Spring campaign is about to open-the
army is actively preparing, and nothing prevents
a contact of the armies but the almost impossible
condition of the roads Our brigade, which oc-
cupies the right of Gen. Lees forces, will soon be
ready to make few more dsshes on Kilpatricks
'nyincibles," and led on by gallant leader we
will no doubt gain better reputation for fighting
for the cavalry than it gained last summer. JS.S

SPIRIT RAPPINGs.-The Southern Republic
learns that the Legislature of Mississippi has pas
sed scorching law the subject of distilleries.
The law provides that when any one shall establish
a distlery, the property and everything thereunto
appertainng shall be coufscated. 1t is made the
duty of every officer in tie State or county, no
matter what Office he may hold, TO report the same,
under the penalty of FIVE thousand dollars fine and
twelve months Imprisonment in the county Jail, and
that the officer so failing neglectng shall never
again be eligible to hold any Office in the State
In case the same is reported by citizen he shall
be paid one-hsf the price of the property confs-
Gated.

HARD -0ompany H, 4th N. g. Regiment, re-
Gently held meeting and passed the following re-
solution among others:
Resolved, That we have heard with profound
regret and indescribable Indignation that many of
the ladies' for whom we are fighting, are setting
their caps for militia officers and such characters
as have escaped the swift current by virtue of Ha-
beas Corpus and various other hobbies, and not
only so, but are actually marrying them occasion
ally.
Go. is from Iredell county, and the ladies of
that county had better write to their soldier ac-
quaintances or some one will get mad.
Seriously, we fear that the ladies (and home
folks generality do not write to the soldiers often
enough. Write cheerful, encouraging letters, and
they will help tie soldier to disc barge his duty in
better spirits, and make him more determined to
fight in defence of his home.

ComptroleIs Department, Raleigh, April 16.

Hon. A. W. yenable, Sir: In reply to yours Of
the 18th inst, l am authorized to say that our
present Revenue Law does not impose any tax up
on Confederate Bonds of any kind, for either State
or county purposes.
At the adjourned session in February 1868, in
the Revenue Bill before the General Assembly,
Confederate Bonds were included in the 4th para
graph of section 1sasgether with county and State
bonds The two Houses disagreed upon sundry
matters in the bill, committee of conference was
appointed and made their report. which adopt
ed, and one recommendation was to strike out Con-
tederate bonds, which was agreed to- So that
neither bonds then issued those since issued by
the Confederate States, of whatever kind, are sub
ject to State county tax.
The Public Treasurer and Attorney General con-
cur in this opinion Very respectfully,
