The credit system works a hardship upon
the community where it is indulged in too
way. A merchant purchases at the East
or wlsowhere, ten thousand dollars wortli ol
goods and brings them to Pcs Arc, he
makes an estimate of his house rent, board
of self and clerks, clerks wages, taxes, inti
dental expenses: loss in wppe and tare, &e;
he then puts on his por cent sufficient tu
cover all these expenses and pay him a
reasonable profit'ibr his risk in Investment;
say his per cent (for illustration,) is forty
per ccuk—now in view of his probable 1 s -
undcr the credit system, he is compelled tu
put his per cent ten ov fifteen per cent
higher on his entire stock than be w uid
do under the cash system, by which be
would be enabled to reinvest bis means two
or three times every year and make a small
per cent on each investment and thus the
merchant would realize more in the way ol
profits every year, ami the farmer and me
chanic would get their goods or lie .e -apes
cheaper. l?ut who pays that additional
price of ten or fifteen per cent on the goods
under the credit system t evidently it is
paid by the solvent or punctual part of the
community, and they are thus taxed ton
or twelve dollars every year to keep up and
eucourage'a class of men and women that
arc all the time consuming and making no
efforts to pay their debts or liabilities, from
year to year. Look at the money, paid
judicial or civil officers in suits Instituted
for the collection of debts—look at the
time consumed by plaintiff and defendant
in actions of debt costs, fees, &c. These
are, in part, the'fruits of the credit sfilSni
But how are we tb remedy tin:; evil . I an
swer, by learning to unlearn the things we
have learned amiss; we can educate our
selves to the cash system slowly, gradually,
and effectually. Then men will feel freer,
easier and happier—they will be indepen
dent in the true sense of the term inde
pendence, Under our former mode of do
ing business it was impossible lor most men
to determine what they were Worth at any
time, but they hurried on with continual
leaping in the dark, ever looking upon the
bright side nf the picture and hoping that
times would get better; that something
would turn up to relieve them from em
barrassment, and thus they indulged others
and were themselv.es indulged, till war sud
denly broke upon us, with its startling' re
alities—the cun-sequence was that debt,
were lost sight of, iillfc hostilities ceased,
then the old claims were revived, and (non.
having lost all by the war, were unable to
liquidate the claims created years ago, It
is an inconvenience to be’poor, but to be
poor and have old claims hanging over ns
is stiil worse—but all this can and will-be
remedied by time, industry and courage.
Experience is .the lamp by which pur.feet
should be guided and directed in the fu
ture.

Something from the Unpub ished History
of the Late Con flirt—An Authentic Ac

accompanying events, 1 accompanied the
expedition into Tennesseemade for tlie pur
! pose of driving bncK General Gillem’s brigade
i of Federal cavalry. We arrived at Greenville
: early in the evening of the fid of September,.
!H 1. Greenville is distant from Hull's Gap
i (General Gilcm s position) nineteen miles.
The General established Ills heaquarters at
.the house of a Mrs. Williams, in the town!
; of Greenville. His own brigade was sent on
| i he road leading to llodgersvilte, to a point
three miles from Greenville, for the purpose
I of grtiug f rage, and a detachment of Ten
1 uesea cavalry, Hx liitndred strong, was orderd
under t’olouel Bradford, to encamp on the
I road leading to Hull’s Gap and to picket the
roads leading toward the enemy. * This force !
.vus not increased because a large number of I
horse* could not be foraged in.that direction. |
Tire country between Greenville and the Gap
i is hilly, and wild, and very poor, Gen. Gillem
! suited afterward that be received information
I of tho sini,us of affairs about Greenville at
half past nine of that night. He immediately
moved his comuiaild in tho direction ofGrecu

i Bradford's command ; lie drovehim' (Bradford) j
i back from the road, leaving it open to Green- '
\ i l lev. A driachutMit of * four companies of
the 10th Tennessee cavalry was then sent
; forward to charge the town. They met with
no res: -lance, 'i'he square on which Mrs,

Through the garden : finding exit in that (lirec

i s.rap ■ vines. Ho had no weapon at all, Cap

•Johnson. A. A. G.'s clerk, the other While
tho officers of his staff and couriers were
together under guard within twenty yards of
I his place of concealment, ho ncceessarily
. heard the questions asked them and the threats
made against them. The questions wove as to
his whereabouts—the threats to make them
tell his place of concealment. Seeing that
there was no hope .of successful concealment,
ho came out and surrendered to ('apt. Wilcox.
' company Cl. 18th Tennessee cavalry. He had
already both of Gen. M.’s pistols in his posses
sion. This Captain sat on his horse (ho and
lift eon or twenty others had ridden into the
garden, having broken down the plank fence
to get in) and conversed with the General
and us for sonic time—about ton or twenty
minutes: ho then rodo off. In a few minutes
after lie left a tuau rodo up and presented his
gun at Gen. Morgan : the general said : “For
God's sake don't shoot me—I am a prisoner.”
The gun was tired and the General fell. The
muzzle of the gun (a Colt’s army rifle within
■ o fo •! ot Mov i t's breast when it was di ur
ged ; bis clothing and his body wore blackened
with powder. This man then dismounted and
threw the general’s body across his horse, in
front of the saddle, and rode about town shout
ing “horts’s yourdiofse thief.” When Gen. Gib
lem gave us pcraiissnofl to go otf and attend to
Gen. M.’s body| we found it lying in the road
about one mile from the place where it had
been shot. It was so covered with mud that
we could scarcely recognize it. The ball struck
tlie >irer of the breast, about three inches
below its jiind Ion with the neck, and came out
behind t-ho left hip bone. He met his death as
1 lie met his foes a. thousand : hues before; there
: was no shrinking-—not a quiver of a nerve—
, though be saw murder in that brawny felon's
eye. .Kemmckey "'ill yet Jj.» proud of /oha
Morgan—ol his vallaut, dashing life and fear
less .Until. And in the “land of mih and flow
at lone Will his deeds be the theme of “song
, J o _
• and story.” Tf*“ man who shot him was named
i Campbell, of Co. G loth Tennessee cavalry.
, He was promoted to a lieutenancy for his
j hVavery on this occasion.
At Knoxville the staff" officers were locked
* up iu iron cages, in a jail, whose windows
j had neither glass nor sash. They l;ad neither
■ change of clothing, nor overcoats, nor lilan
; kets. These had all been taken from them
They were permitted to go into the prison
yard in the day time, and they had a dead hue
there.
We found at Knoxville several officers and
men of Mot gan’s command, who had been taken
two week before us. They told us that the
soldiers who captured them saidthat they had
orders not to take Gen. Morgan alive. After
this it was rumored, that the soldier of Gen.
Morgan’s command refused to take as prison
ers of war men belonging to t he ltitd Tenneseo
cavalry. Gen. Gillem sent a communication,
under a flag of truce, to General Brekinridgc
on this subject,complaining that somemembers
of the Thirteenth had been killed, and stating
that he supposed it was done in retaliation for
the “reported” murder of Gen. Morgan. He
stated that Gen, Morgan had been killed in fair
tight, and inclosed a copy of a note from Capt.
Rogers,of Gen. Morgan’s staff,in answer to one
from him inquiring into the circumstances of
Morgan’s death, (Rogers was then a prisoner
in Gen. Gillcm’s hands.)
At the bottom of this note was written, “ A
true copy. A.C. Gillem, Brig -General.” When
Gen, Breckinridge afterward attacked and
routed Gen. Gillein, weeaptured his headquar
ters desk and private papers, among which was
the original note of Capt- Rogers, altered and
amended to read as the copy Gen. Gillem sent
Gen. B., and very different from the said copy.
These papers are still in existence.

The First Baby.
By the Rev. Mr.-.Mr. J. W. G. to
MissC. E. G., only daughter, etc.,.“No cards ”
We didn't say no baby ? I have one of those
interesting animals at my house. It came
when it rained like blazes, dark as pitch, and
my umbrella at the store, no ears running.—
The doctor lived five miles due west, and the
nurse five miles due east; and, when I got
home to the bosom of my family, the condensed
milk-man was at the next door. Its a funny
little chip, that, baby ; solferino color, and the
length of a Bologna sausage Cross? I guess not.
Utn, um ; it commenced chasing me down the
pathway of life just when muslin, linen, and
white llannel were the Highest they they been
sinee'Adam built a hen-house for Mrs. Eve's
chickens. Doctors charge two dollars a squint
four dollars a grunt, and on account of the
scarcity of rain in the country, take what is
left in a man's pocket, no discount for cash,
and send bill for balance, January first. A
queer little thing is that baby—a speck of a
nose like a wart; head as bald as a squash,
and no place to hitch a water-fall; a mouth
just suited to come the gum game and chew
milk. 0„crackee ! you should hear her sing.
1 havo bumped it, stuffed my fur cap down its
throat; given it the smoothing irons to play
with, but that, lttle red lump that looks as if
it couldn’t hold blood enough to keep a mos
quito from fainting persists in .yelling like
thunder. It shows a great desire to swallow
its list, am.1 the other day they dropped down
its throat, 'and all that prevented their going
clear through was the crook inits elbows. D
stopped its music, and 1 was happy for one
and a half minutes. It's n pleasant thing to
have a baby iu the house—one of your colicky
kind. Think of the pleasures of a father, in
dishabille trembling in the midnight hoqr,
with his warm feet upon a square yard of cold
oil cloth, dropping paregoric in a teaspoon, by
moonlight,the nurse thunipirgon the door,wife
of your bosom shotting hurry, and the baby
yelling till the fresco drops from the ceiling.
It's a nice time to.think of dress-coats, pants,
ties, and white kids. Shades of departed
cocktails what comfort, what a picture for an
article in Plaster Paris ? Its mother says the
darling is troubled with wind on the stomach !
it beats all the wind instruments you ever
heard of. I have to get up in the cold and
shiver while the milk warms : it uses the bot
tle. 1 have a cradle with a representation
of a miraculous soothing syrup battle on the
dash-board. 1 tried to stop its breath the
other night, it was no go; I rocked it so hard
I missed stays, and sent it slap clear across
the room, upsetting a jar of preserves. It
didn’t make any noise then ! Oh I no, its moth
er says only wait til! it gets bleached, (it's
been vaccinated.) and old enough to crawl
about and feed on pins. Yes, I am going to
wait. Won’t it be delightful ? John, run for

stairs ; sis has swallowed the tack hammer;
shows signs of the mumps, measles, croup,
whooping-cough, small-pox, colic, dysentery,
cholera infantum, or some darn thing tolet tho
doctor take all tho money laid by for my win
ter's corn beef, and all this comes of my 3ham
pooning and curling my hair, wearing nice
clothes and looking handsome, going a courting
and making my wife fall in love and marry ine.
Tub Nkwspapkh.,—Without my newspaper,
life would narrow itself to the smallest limits
of my personal experiences, and humanity be
compressed-in the ten or fifteen people I mix
with. Now 1 refuse to accept this. I liave
not a sixpence in consols, but I want to know
how they stand. 1 was never—never in
likelihood shall be in Japan; but f have an
intense curiosity to know what our troops did
at Yokohama 1 deplore the people who suf
fered by that railroad smash ; and i sympathize
with the newly married couple so beautifully
depicted in tho illustrated, as they drove utt in
a chaise, and one old gent at tho hall door
waving them a last adieu. I like the letters
of correspondents, with their unwarrantable
omissions in the liturgy. 1 even like the
people who chronicle the rain fall, and record
little facts about the mildness of the season.
As for advertisements, 1 regard them us glass
and mirror oft lie age. Snow mo but one page
of the •‘wants.’of any country, and I engage
to give a sketch .of tho period. What glimpse
of rare interiors do we gain by these brief
paragraphs, How full of suggestiveness and
