DISEASE OF IsIPRUDENCE.

W hen the misguided and lmprudent NOtary OF
pleasure finds that he has mbibed the seeds OF this
painful disease it too often happens that an i-timed
sense of shame, or dread Of discovery, deters him
from applying to those who, from education and
respectability, alone befrend him, delaying till
the constitutional symptoms of this horrid disease
make their appearance, such as ulcerated sore
throat, diseased nose nocturnal pains in the head
and limbs, dimness ofsght deafness, nodes on the
shin bones and arms botches on the head, face and
exremties progressing with frghtfu rapidity, till
n; last the palate of the mouth the bones of the
nosc fall in and the victim of this awful disease
becomes horrid object of commiseration till death
puts period to his dreadful suferings by sending
him to 'that Undiscovered Country from whence no
traveller returns"
Itis aniciaachoiy act that thousands fall victims
to this terrible disease, owing to the unskiluness of
ignorant pretenders who, by the use of that Deadly
pOtSOn, Mercury, ruin the constitution and make
tie residue OF life miserable.

THE DIRECT TAX.

From the Fayetteville Observer
TO the Editor Of the Nashville Union and
American: In your paper of the Doth ult.,
you have an article showing the assessments
and collections by the United States Gov
eminent, of direct tax at the South, in
which il is stated: "Apportioned to Ten
nessee, S669, 498; collected, SS3,821." viii
you he kind enough to tell US hOW and tUhy
this, when the Government Collector iMr.
FoRD) collected in this (Lincoln) county
alone nearly ttCeRty thousand dollars of this
direct tax?
Again: II, as recommended by the Sec
rotary of the Treasury, the States assume
the payment of this taxi. C. to be paid out
of the State treasury-are tUe to be tdTed
again to pay the aggregate amount due?
Why has this tax not been collected in other
counties? l sthis one of the ways ne are to
be punished for our sins
Reply.-The statement in our paper in
which the above interrogations are founded,
was extracted from a Washington paper,
and the amount given as paid, was evident
Iy erroneous. The Direct Tax Commission
er in this city informs us that more than
100000 has been reported as paid by the
people.
We have no reason to suppose that our
State, as a State, will assume this tax. fit
should, it would be justified in assuming
only the unpaid balance; and in its final
payment it should be paid by the several
counties in just and fair proportions.

nine deaths were reported in this city. There
had been no admissions of cholera patients
in the hospitals on BLACKwELL's and PAN

a marked decrease noted, there being but
thirteen cases and two deaths yesterday. On
Governors Island, but two new cases were
reported. DR.. THAYER, in charge Of the

creasing in the 18th Ward, and all the new
cases were a mild type Of the disease.

THE CROPS AND LABOR OF TEN.
NESSEE.

The Assistant Commissioner of the Freed
mems Bureau in Kentucky and Tennessee
recently addressed a circular to each super
intendent in the district, requiring replies
to the following queries:
LIST. What portion of your county is in
cultivation this year as compared with 1860?
ID. Are there as many acres of cotton plant
ed as in 1850? 3d. Are the freedmen gene
rally industrious and faithful to their en-
gagements? 4th. Are the planters generally
liberal and just towards the freed people?
The Assistant Commissioner has forward
ed TO the chief Of the Bureau the reply of
each superintendent, and from these reports
we gather that there is much greater area
of land under cultivation this year than
there was at the beginning of the rebellion
and the quantity of land planted in cotton is
much greater than the usual crop put in in
Tennessee. As a general rule the freed
people are faithfully performing their con-
tracts though in some few of the counties
they are disposed to wander about from one
employer to another, and break their en-
gagements lightly; and the people are max
ing quite liberal contracts with the freed
men, treat them very well, and evince dis
position to do them justice. There are some
exceptions to this rule, but even these show
a marked improvement when compared with
the condition of affairs one year ago

MARTYRS AND MARTYRDOM.

As the Jacobin journals just now are hav-
ing great deal to say about this and that
other MARTYR" we trust it is no imperti-
hence to enquire whether any of them have
heard Of the case of Rev. SAMUEL B. HEAD
LEE, the poor unoffending Methodist min
lister, who was inhumanly murdered in Web
ster Co., Missouri, on the Odd ult, by Radi-
cal mob, his only ofiense being-so far as we
can ascertain,-that he desired to preach the
gospel without let or hindrance. If a black
man is killed by a mob anyw here, any how,
at any time, these Jacobin journals devote
columns and columns to his "Inart yrdom,"
but If an unohending minister, Of the gospel
white mani, is butchered in cold blood by
ruflians Of their own set the occurrence is
honored scarcely with an ordinary para
graph. Could anything better illustrate the
instincts Of the reckless, revolutionary men,
who thus seem to be now, more than ever,
imbued with deadly, and apparently liner
adicabie, prejudice against persons Of their
own race and color? Like the ogres they
are blessed, or cursed, with but one eye.
That eve can never be made to see but one
side of thing, and that side the one which
most harmonizes with its own superabOund-
ing depravity.-Ner York Express.

JEFFERSON DAVIS HEALTH.

CHARLES OCONOR, Esq, counsel for J Eff
PERSON DAVIS, arrived in Washington from
a visit to his client at Fortress Monroe, and
found Mr.. DAVIS health in no wise improv
ed since his last visit, and thinks if any
thing he is physically a.little weaker, though
his mental faculties continue with their
wonted freshness. From sunrise to sunset
he is allowed full freedom inside the fort,
going whittier he chooses unattended, he be-
ing on parole; but the returning of the pris
oner to close confinement when the sun goes
down is now what is affecting his condition
more than aught else.
The nights being warm and close, and,
what is still worse, being away from the So
ciety of his wife and children, at twilight he
feels bitterly this continued over-anXiety Of
bis solitary confinement. The reports of
Congressional Committees regarding Mr..
DAVIS have given no cause of apprehension
to the counsel or client that the latter's COM
plicity in the assassination of President
LINCOLN can be proved The visit was in
no wise the resultof that report Mr.. STAN
BURY, the new Attorney General, viii give
