while II cannot be denied that the country Is
indebted to intoxicating liquors for many,
very many OF the evils with which II i5 ai-
nicted, II must be admitted that thero are
other causes. The country Is full Of men by
nature inclined TO bo outlaws, and the war

Nashville, Tenn, Nov. 80, 1865
Enron UNION FLAG;
Dear Sir thinking that few lines from
an old brother soldier may not be amss in
making up your reading matter thought
to occupy some of my idle moments in giving
you few items of the proceedings of the
present General Assembly, as there are some
very important measures now pending before
that body, which elicits active discussion.
The lower House has a bill now under con-
fderaion, to be entitled Gan act to wind up
the Bank of Tennessee Requiring said
Bank, to redeem her notes, which appear to
meet very little opposition.
Also, another bill has been introduced and
passed first reading in the House to repeal
the dislranchise law, passed Mt the spring
session of the General Assembly and giving
to all free persons Of Constitutional age and
residence, the right of the elective franchise
The bill 90 introduced, was referred to COM
mittee, who will be very likely to recommend
its rejection, and the House concur in the
same.
Also, another bill has passed on its second
reading in the House, repeating an act pass
ed at the spring session, allowing discharged
Union soldiers and loyal citizens to carry
side arms.
Another bill has passed the lower House
for the relief of Rail Road Companies, which
appear to have n good effect, resulting in the
payment of over seven hundred thousand
dollars Of State bonds, into the State Treas.
ury, by the Nashville and Louisville Rail
Road Company.
\ resolution has passed the lower House
for an adjournment of the present General
Assembly, to take place on the sixteenth of
December next, to meet on the eighth day Of
January.
Business in Nashville, is quito active. Cot
ton is gradually advancing, being worth
from 45c TO 47c.
Buyers, appear more anxious and better
prepared to invest in large lots than for a
week or more previous.
Nashville continues TO he oyer-run with
desperadoes, who are daily committing nn-
mcrous murders aud various other offences
Scarcely a day passes without seeing adycr-
tiscd, q murder er some oiher deed of yio-
lcnce. Respectfully,
