none more gallantly and devoted than
by our adopted fellow citizens.
Common justice would seem to insist
that the protection of the Government
should be equal over all its people, and
while the strong arm of the nation
would be raised to resent with armed
force, If need be, any restraint Of liberty
suffered by An American born, It Is a
shameful Inconsistency which allows
indignities and dishonor to be imposed
with impunity upon citizens Of foreign
birth.
,. desire, therefore, to call your atten-
ton to the laxity with which the Gem
eral Government has hitherto regarded
infractions upon the rights Of this class
Of our people. Accordingly I would
suggest the propriety Of meMorializing
Congress to take speedy and definite ac-
ton for their protection.
The very able and exhaustive message
Of my predecessor has left little necessi-
ty for a further consideration Of the
work before you. I cannot forbear,
however, to urge the Importance Of leg
islative action upon the subject of a Re-
form School, and the erection Of new
State House. And whatever provisions
may be made i'm the latter case, let the
word be guarded so thoroughly against
the danger of fraud and misapplication
of the public funds rs not only to protect
the State, but also the individuals who
may have the york in hand from
groundless suspicious.
1 have the honor to submit herewith
An appendix to the Report of the Regis
ter of the Land Office.

TAX MATTERs.-The United States
Assessors have received instructions In
commence work on the annual tax list
for the year ending Dec. 31st 1867. All
tax payers, and particularly our friends
in the country and in the towns will be
interested in the following decisions:
The tax is levied upon the gain, profits
and income from jan I, 1867, to Dec
alst, 1867, Of every resident Of the Uni.
ted States.
All persons of lawful age are required
to make list or return and give to the
assistant assessor OH or before the 1st of
March, 1868, although the net income
may be less than 81, 200.
The list or return will not be accented
If sent through the mail, or If sworne to
before any one other than the assessor or
assistant assessor.
1t is made the duty of the assistant
assessor to tax all persons who neglect
to make Il return as above from the best
Information he can obtain, and add 50
per cent. as penalty. In that case
there Is no appeal to higher authority.
and the amount will be collected as pro-
vided by law.
The assessor is to add 100 per cent. as
penalty in eases of fraudulent return.
The first $1,000 of all gains, profits,
etc, is exempt from that tax of 5 per
cent, but it is to be deducted out of the
gross amount only in its proper place in
the list.
The tax on gold watches valued atSlOO
or less is 81, and on the same valued at
over 500 is 81. The tax on carriages
valued at $500 il So
Many of our tax payers have to come
in to pay their State and County taxes
during this and the next month. and We
are pleased to learn the Department has
arranged the matter of assessing tho
revenue tax so that all the tax business
can be attended to at the same time.

Gov. BroNnlow and the Legisia-
turc.

NASHVILLE, July y.
Gov. Brownlow's message was read in
the legislature this morning, In stating
the reasons which prompted him to call
the legislature together, he says the action
of that body last winter left him without
authority 10 employ the military, and he
accordingly paid and disbanded those in
service. That members had been told 10y
the Conservatives that there was no use
for the military, that all would be quiet
in the State, but at that time rebel pa
rolled soldiers were forming themselves
into secret bands to overthrow the State
government and carry the Presidential
election. He stated that he regarded
those bands as murierers and robbers,
and recommends the legislature to declare
them outlaws, punishable with death
wherever found. He calls on the mem
hers who have been insisting upon his
calling out the militia for their protec-
ton, TO pass the necessary laws and give
him sufficient clerical force TO carry out
his order. and the money necessary to de-
fray the expenses, and to pay whatever
force may be needed, and says he intends
the responsibility shall rest with the legis-
lature and not with the executive depart
ment
If the military force is ordered out,
laws must be passed to protect them in
all proper acts whilst on duty. Should
the legislature prefer some other party to
have charge of the militia he would stand
aside
Gov. Brownlow calls attention to the
financial. condition of Tennessee and rec
ommends tina special committee be ap-
pointed to investigate the consp tracy
which prevented the payment of the Jul
ly interest.
In conclusion he says: 81 have been APP
pealed to by prominent men of both po-
litcal parties to urge upon you the pro-
priety Of removing political disabilities
formerly imposed upon Il large class of
rebels.
The conduct of that class OF people has

self by yielding to this request, accom-
panied by threats of violence. If the
members Of the General Assembly are
alarmed for their personal safety, and
feel disposed to sue for peace upon term'
proposed by an armed mob, they will o
course take a different view of the sub
ject. Any recommendations of this kline
if made at all should be made at regular
