As usual tLc Yankees who raided on KnOxville, muTflCTed inoffensive people and plundered the country. They murdered Dr. Harvey IJaker, a . prominent physician residing near Kiiox-rillc. The ltcisfer gives an account of the brutal affair: Dr. leaker's house h about ten miles below Knoxvilie, on the main Western road. On Friday alternoon he told his wife and family he could do no good staying at Lome, and believed he would come up to town where he might be of some as sistance in its defence.- He got Lis gun and was in his yard when a Yankee rode up and presented Lis gun at him. Dr. 1J. lold him not to shoot, that he was a citizen, and. did not belong to the army. Uut the soldier in place of desisting raised his gun to hi3 face to take sight, and fired, Dr. -B. firing at about the same time. Dr. 1J. then went ,into his house and locked the doors, sending bis family up stairs. Ilis wife insisted he should go up stairs with them, which he did soon after. In a short time the coMicr who had fired on Dr. Baker brought up a large number of men, who surround ed the house andj commenced firing through the windows on both sides, demanding that the men in the house should surrender. Mrs. Baker came to tho window and told thctn there was no man in the house but her husband, and if they would cease firing he would surrender. They continued fin a g, and Dr. Baker came to the window once or twice, and told them there was no man in the house but himself, and if they would cease firing he would sunendcr. But whenever he presented himselfat the window they fired on him, and he returned the fire with his pistol. In a few minutes a num ber of them broke open the lower doors and en tered the house, and commenced firing through the ceiling into the room where Baker and his family were. They then went to the stairway and de manded that thejnen should come out and sur render. Mrs. Baker came out and told them there was no maa iu the house except Dr. Baker, and if they would not fire upon him he would come out. They ordered her, to go away from the door or they would shoot Iter. Dr. Baker then pulled - his wife in the room and threw the door open. They fired upon him with their guns, and he re turned the fire with his pistols. The Yankees present, having exhausted their ammunition, threw their eruns, with fixed bayonets, at him be throw ing the iruns back oirain at them. A number of Yankee reinforcements then came up with loaded guns and fired a volley at him, inflicting-two mortal woum'.s. Dr. B. said to his wife, "they have killed mc," and fell; his wife, in endeavoring to support him, fill with him. The Yarkeos then entered the room one of them who had no bayo net on his giin, jobbed him in the mouth with the muzzle of his gun; another run his bayonet through his cheek; others struck him on the head; one ruffian pushed Mfs. Baker aside from her husband with his bayonet. Dr. Baker asked, to be turned on his hide, and asked for water. After he drank, he observed to the crowd of Yankees around him that they were a cowardly set of scoundrels so many of them to assault and murder one man. Two of the Yankees were dangerously, if not mortally, wounded. They went on to the next house and had their wounds dressed, and said Dr. Baker was the gamcst man they ever saw. Dr. Baker was one of the earliest of our citizens to espouse the cause of the South, and was an ardent secessionist from the beginning. We have no doubt gome renegade tory from Kast Tennessee had given the Yankees full information about Dr. JJakcr's sentiments and his activity in the cause of the South, and that' they intended to seize upon some pretence to murder him. After the cowardly scoundrels had murdered her husband, they commenced robbing his wife of her jewelry, and carried off everything they could find of value that Wis easy to be concealed. Anions other things, they took a breastpin containing aJ miniature likeness of Dr. Baker, set in gold. PRESIDENT DAVIS AND GEN. WASH INGTON. At one time, during our revolutionary war, there was a plan gotten up, by one of the officers of the arjny, to supplant Gen. Washington, and give the chief commaudjof our revolutionary forces to Gen. Gates. It was alleged that Washington was in competent, too slow, &c., etc. The same charges were brought against the general-in-chief that have been brought against President Davis. Washington was deeply chagrined and mortified at this, but he acted like a true patriot, suppress ed his indignation, and ate his griefs in silence. In a letter to Mr Laurens, the president of Con gress, Gen. Washington wrote: "3ly enemies tako an ungenerous advantage of mc. lhey know tuc delicacy ot my situation, and - that motives of policy deprive me of the defense I might otherwise make against their insidious at tacks. They know I cannot combat their insinua tions, however injurious, without disclosing secrets it id of the utmost importance to conceal. But t by should I expect to be exempt from censure, the unfailing lot of an elevated station? Merit aad talents, which I cannot pretend to rival, have ever been subject to it. My heart tells mc it has been my unremitted aim to do the best which circumstances would permit; yet I may have been very often mistaken inmy judgnicut of the means, and may, in many instances, deserve the imputa tion of error.". . , Every erne will recognize in the foregoing state ment of his case by Gen. Washington, the case of President Davis, precisely. But we believe that even the Charleston 'Mercury and Richmond Ex aminer have ceased their war upon our President. .-rThe Countryman. I PmcE oS Newspapers. The Southern I Watchman puts up the following knock-down ar gument in reference to the price of newspapers to wiucn we invite mc auenuon ot all readers : It is , said that owin to the peculiar circum stances of the case it would now be unfair to take gold as a standard of value. Inasmuch as corn is the basis of our provision crop, let us try that as a Vtatidard. ' When we published our paper at 82, wo could buy four bushels of corn for that amount. -t)ur paper was therefore worth four 'bushels of sorn.

J Tho following is the system adopted for the collec tion of (he tax in kind : Ad officer of the Quartermaster General's Depart ment is assigned to the special charge of the subject. A controlling "Quartermaster, with the rank of Major, is assigned to each State, and a Post Quartermaster with the rank of Captain, to each Cougresiional Dis trict, where it is practicable to collect the tenth. Each Congressional District will be subdivided by the Post Quartermaster in charge of it into section?, for the convenient delivery by the tax-payer of his quota of produce, and agents will be appointed by that officer to take charge of the depots to be estab lished in that section. . . Before these depots can be established, or the asscss mnta prinlrfd under the law be made, the crops of small grain, hay and the clip of wool for the present year will have been secured. To relieye farmers from the risk and inconvenience of Storing the Government portion, as well as to ob tain immediate supplies for the use of the army, tbe Department authorizes and requests farmers residing near posts where Quartermasters are now swuu ,li:t-o t!. f'nvornmont'a tnh ftr ftnv Dart Of it tO that Quartermaster. Under the law. farmers are required to deliver their . . . .i u 'm:aa frrtm fne ten ill ai acpois noi more uu niaA nf nrrwttictinn.' 'If thev.will deliver nnder this request, the Government will pay for the transporta tion iu excc3J of eight miles. The Quartermaster re ceiving produce under this rule will give receipts to tho producer as evidence that so mnch of his tax is paid. And as the Post Quartermaster of the Con gressional District is responsible for the tenth, after The assessor has established and made it known to him, the Quartermaster to whom "the produce is .de livered will also receipt for it to the Post Quarter master of tbe District, who will endorse a copy of the receipt upon the assessor's estimate before transferring it torthe njrents at the receiving depot.

March 3, 1SG3 tf THE SOUTHERN Hepatic Eills. This combination of medicines was firat prepared by the proprietor in 1825, when he .was pronounced by three eminent physicians in a Southern cily as in an advanced stage of - Consumption. These pills cured him.' He is now over seventy j ears of age and in dis charge of active professional duties. Their good ef fect upon others created such a demand for them that he waS compelled to desist from supplying them gratu itously. - They are xot recommended by the proprietor as good for all diseases, but only such as arises from DISORDERS OF THE LIVER. Many persons have testified to their good effects ia Chills and Fevers, Bil ious Fever, Yellow Fever, Pneumonia, Dyspepsia, &c, &c. They are au excellent FAMILY MEDICINE. - .Read, the following: S. D. Wallace, Esq., Treasurer of the Wilmington and Weldon Rail Road, (Aug. 30, 1862,) says : "lThas been said that 4'DvsPErsiA" is our national disease. However this may be, it caused me long and severe suffering. Providentially a friend furnished me with a few boxes of the "Hepatic Pills," an the use of them has perfected a cure. In my family they have been used frequently with eminent success. Among my ac quaintances, many cases originating from diseased hver, have been relieved and cured by them. I regard them mm invaluable medicine, and take pleasure in forwarding this voluntary tribnte." Cot.. Jos Wright, of Goldsboro', N. C f ine 14 18C2,) says: "I have used the 'Southern Hepatic Pills'' in my family here and also on my plantation in Ala bama, and always with success. I have a valuable servant girl who had been a long tim under treatment for consumption, without receiving any benefit. Al most in her extremity I was induced (o try the 'Hepatic Pills.' .They were given according to directions and she is now well, entirely 'restored by thera. a Similar cae occurred among my servants in Alabama. For liver and lung diseases I have perfect. confidence iu them' Full directions and other certiitcates will be found on the. wrapper of each box.' - The great rise in the price of medicines, compels the proprietor to put these pills at 50 cents a box. As it m:.y soon not be possible to proenre all the ingredi ents, it would be well for the affik-ted to order them at once. t rom the price above stated, a liberal discount will ue raatie l0 dealers as lo Address fJEORGE W long as tbe pills can be furnished.'
