TL 5w Tor k Tribuct oppoae the taxic of Coiled States Bond, for State aad xaaciciptl purpose, as breach of faitb, and if permitted it regards it in effect "repudiation aod p-er-d." It argcea that the Gorercmeot. doriof the dark dai of Ihf rebellloa could cot bare obtained loact for the p roe ecu lion of the war without the txtraordioarj indareaieot of eifmpticg thtm from local taxation. It thus pota the case: "To induce ajch large, cootinnocain?etmeati io the fundi of as imperiled Natioa, certain ioducementa were ofTeted. Among these wee exaoptioo from taxes. The GorernmeDt takes a tr.all alice out of all incomes derived from inUreat on in boodt, but it atipalatea that tbie it all that co State or local authority ahall exact a farthing. The right to do toil b.ta been affirmed by the Supremo Court after a full bearing, Cfcief Justice Marhil pronouncing the decision. And. if the Government Lad aright to borrow at all, it surely has a right to prescribe the terma on which ita loam aball be issued. "We are lurrrised that the Legislature! of Iojal state like Connecticut and cw lliruphire should attempt to tax income from national debt, io deüance of an eipre atipulatioa of the Uovernmeot. They should have left this poor butineM to the Legislatures of New Jersey and Delaware, (neither of which, we beliere, has attempted it ) The attempt cannot succeed, for it is repudiation and perfidy. The, Government has the. power an J the will to keep its faith; and any aauu!t upon it only weakens the National credit, therebv increasing the public hardens, yet doing good to no one. Let us hsve no more of this. It ts already established, we believe, that the uie of Government fund, say as a banis of bank circulation, can be taxed. That ought to auffice." The war is over, au l why should capitalists terich men of the Nation be relieved from the bjrdtts it hss occasioned by icvesiiog their means in Government bonds at Urge ratea of interest? The great body of tbe people, whose labor pays the taxe, cannot appreciate tbe propriety or justice of exempting from taxation incomes derived from any source. A extemporary thus exhibits tbe injustice of not taxing United States bond: Suppose two mechanics to earn each exactly $000 a year, and to lire each upon $'2fK). The one putt Lis surplus $100 of property into a IT. S. bond, and the other puts his surplus $100 into a house and lot cr tome little industrial buinei The former's savings, drawing him a fat interest, are, under the legislation of a radical Congress, exempted from all State and local taxes, while thoe of the latter msy b ground down, and the quick of the principal reached to satisfy the public indebtedness in its various shapes, a part of the taxation levied goin to pay the interest upon his brother mechanic's Government iuvestmeut ! The question whether the public indebtedness is to be saddled solely on the laboring, the commercial, and tbe agricultural interests, while moneyed men and banking corporations are to have their property invested in United States bond., upon which they are drawing an exorbitant interest, exempted, m one that no public journal can dispose of by following the tactics of the pettifogger. It is not a case in a Justice's Court, but one before the people, and one which the independent press of li.e country will see properly presented. Hut the Tribune, iu the interest of the class which is attempting to build up a moneyed aristocracy to be exempt from the burdens of tbe Government while receiving all the rights and benefits it confers, says, "The Government has the power and will to keep its faith." But who constitute the Government, and from whecce does it derive its power? Tbe Tribune holds out the idea that the Government is distinct from the peoj!e, a sort of overshadowing power over which they have no control or direction. It is threatened that this power, by whatever name it may he called, has the will, and intends to force the irjutire of relieving a portion of the capital of the couutry from its share of the public birdens. Suppose the people should determine that there mut be equal taxation or no taxation. we think "the Government" will obey its behests or else representative would be placed ia power who will. This will be tho remedy when the people acertain the great injustice which is im posed upon them and which la illuatrated in tbe comparison instituted above. Hut the Tribune is troubled "because the Legislatures of loyal States like New Hampshire and Connecticut should attempt to tax income from National Debt, in defiance of an express slipulation of the Government." It will find that the Legislatures of many other loyal States will do just the same th ng. Hut is there right or justice in the genera! Government attempting to exempt any portion of the income of the citizens of tbe State from taxation for State or local purposes? If this doctrine is conceded the effect will be to build up a moneyed arristocracy a privileged c'aes who will be relieved from tbe burden o' aapporting the Government while enjoying all its privileges, thus adding to the burdens of the balance of the community. The injustice of euch a policy is to apparent that the people, who are yet the Government, will repud:ate it. It will cot do in this country yet to exempt wealth from taxation, and place it altogether opon the producing clashes. ASSlua.HIXT OF C.EXEltAI, Olrl11:11.

By refusing to fulfill the obligations of the Coastitu

Has it made the taxes light? j Has it plc ed the blacks and whites on better relatione toward each other than existed between them before the war? Has it brought peace to the Nation? In other words, is the civil war at an end? May we cow joyously sit down and feel that in the future continuous repose is ou?s? Not a bit of it. The Republicans now tell us that we lave only passed one stage of the civil war that of turning icose the blacks from their guardiats; that we hare now to enter upon TUX SXCOMO STAUB Or THE CIVIL WAR thatof extermination tht setting free the blacks has simply uncaged the wild animals with whom we cannot safely live, and that we must, therefore, now enter upon the war of extermination, till", iu tbe language of Cox, of Ohio, we "drive them to the wall." This is to be a bloody war, pervading the North and South. I regard the late letter of Cox, ot Ohio, as i serai official proclamation of the commencement of thi war; and I regard the late negro murders, rapes and burning, through, out the land as aimply skirmishes in this second stage of the civil war proclaimed by Cox and his Republican brethren that of the races for exter mination. It teems to me that if the Republi cans bad possessed a particle of political sense they would have considered what was tobe done with the lion before they uncled him. The Niookr Civil Wae. For tbe State Sentinel. i:qual Taxation or fto Tnxatlon. Ma. Editor: I heard a gentleman discoursing upon the above proposition the other day with an enthusiasm indicating that be saw great beauty in it. At the time, I gave little thought to the subject; but since then, having bad my attention called to the amount of my own taxes for tbe current year, the proposition seems continually settling deeper and deeper into my mied, and a kind of equitv and justice seems almost beginning to manifest themselves iu it. My tax account this year is about this: Tbe income from my property, productive, and located iu Indianapolis, is twenty-two hundred dollars. My State, county and city taxc. including street improvement assessments, are about twenty hundred and seventy dollars. Tbe account is thus: Income $2.i2üO Taxes 2,070 Left to live on and keep up repairs $130 The reason why my taxes are so high is because the wealthy capitalists of our city and county invest thetr surplus moneys, of which I have- none, in U. S. stocks, ro as to pay no taxes; hence they tnut be piled the heavier on those whose property is taxable. 1'. The Kegroes Soutli Their treent Mtad Srpectlv Condition hut the üevsrumentTlust as. From tbe Lictniocd Time. When bees lose their queen the whole hive is thrown into confusion. They all quit work and run hither and thither without any apparent aim or object. They seem to lose their eenses, or to speak more correctly, their proper instincts. Ants are thrown icto the same disorder when their hills are rudely broken icto. They are called a "wise folk" in the inspired volume, but on such occasions they appear to loeall of their wisdem. We have recently witnessed, in thee Southern States, an exhibition ot the same character among the laboring class of the South. The human hive lot their head, the African ant till was broken iuto, and from hive and hill tbe swarming thousands poured in confusion. Chaos is scarcely a word strong enough to describe their condition. The idea of freedom, freedom front labor and restraint, with all tbe vague visions of happiness it inspired, acted upon them like so much exhilarating gas. It set them to running about, jumping and gesticulating. The plantation- upon which they. and their forefathers were accustomed to work were abandoned, their homes desolated. Tacked down with all their worldly goods, they filled the public highways leading to our cities. Alt seemed bound "for tbe bappy land of Canaan." Scattered, confused, unemployed and boa eless, they soon found that labor, no much dreaded by man, is man's greatest blessing. It is his capital, bis money, his bread and meat, his home, his source of comfort and happiness. A few months have passed, and io the lapse of that time a marked change has taken place. lMgrim negroes co longer throng the thoroughfares leading to our cities, and co longer occupy the street corners, tbe unbuilt lots and the cellar-caps io the cities and towns. They appear to hare settled down. Chaos has been reduced to order, and the wandering tribes have found resting places. Many of the negroes have returned to their former homes and gone to work, finding by a bitter experience that freedom without labor is nothing but freedom to starve. Others influenced by a vague apprehension that their title to freedom would be incomplete and unsatUfactorj as long as they remained with their former owners, have sought aod found employment with others. Many, unable to provide for themselves, have been taken in hand by Provo.t Marshals and officers of the Freed men's Bureau, and have either been hired out or provided with quarters until they can be permanently settled It is seldom now that tbe eye falls upon a traveling negro, loaded down like a pack mule, with his goods and chattels, and in quest of a new home The great bulk of them appear to be supplied, with lodging places. But the warm seison is rapidly passing away. Spring has been succeeded by Summer, and Summer will soon be followed by Autumn. Then the rigorous Winter, with its blasts and snows, will come upon us. and the troubles of the ne groes will begin in earnest. Tbe fruits, vegetables and fish which now afford them a cheap subistence, will be gone, and solid meats will hart to be purchased. Tbe genial sucthine which warms tbe world without cost, will bo longer be lek, and for seren loag and drears months fuel will have to be bought Htppv those who can provide themselves vi;h it. It is to be feared that great numbers of the emancipated negroes will be usable to do so, acd will have to shiver throogh the Ion?, cold ieaon with few blankets and co fuel. We are all alike, poor here now. The whiles nd it almost impossible to take care of Ibemsel es, and are altogether unable to assist the colored people, however much they may desire io d-i so. If the Government does cot provide for them, either by fur nifhicg fuel or by keeping up steady fires at certain stations, dav and night, their condition will be deplorable indeed.

The Soldiers' Home IroJect-fIw tm

rrorlde f r the Disabled Veterans. The following sagge.tiocs of the Evansvil'.e Journal, sn ultra Republican paper, in regard to tbe propoed Soldiers' Horn enterprise, and as ta the best mein of providing for the comfort cf the disabled veterans, are well worthy cf conS:icrat.on: We gave yesterday some of the reasons which iorllne us to disfavor the Soldiers' Home ccterpriaeas contemplated by the association orgaa ized at Indianapolis. Our objection was, in few words, that too much of the money subscribed ireuU be ub$orhtd by $vprrnumerarie$ connected xrüh the Atr.ciatMn, and the benefits of the liome confined to too few of our private sol diers. We propose, to day, to suggest what we regard as a more practical, uniform and certain way to accoraphah tbe object aimed at by the Soldiers' Home Association, while obviating the most serious objections to that enterprise. We would adorn one of two clans, both oreratioc io the same direction. 1. We would have a careful investigation to ascertain the exact number of our soldiers who have been disabled iu the ervice. the character of their misfortunes and their circumstances in life. A roll of ihe;e unfortunate but honored children of the Republic aod State should be kept in the archives of our Sute bv some oue of the State officers, to be deienated. Io this way not alone those who boldly apply for assistance will tie known, but the modest and retiring, who would rather suffer than parade their poverty, will also have their claims recognized and their sufferings alleviated. This we regard as an im portant point. Hundreds o' men, needy aod dis ablet, would rather suffer with their families and remain at home than to abandon those families and apply for admission to a Sjldiers' Home, however luxurious might be its accommo Jitions 2. Having ascertained the cumber aod circum stances of those requiring relief at tbe bands ot the citizens of the State, we would have the State Legidature enact a law setting apart a iioerai pension wnicn, aujed to tne pens. od allowed by the Government, would place them in comfortable circumstances and levy a tax for that especial purpose, liy this arrangement the funds for the relief of distbled soldier would be permanently secured. We would like to see the party that would dare to attempt its repudiation A greater number of soldiers would be beaefitted, aud their families as well enjov incidentally. the blessings coal erred by tbe pension. Modest men would not bare to exhibit themselves daily to satisfy the idle curiosity of pleasure-seekers who chose to visit the handsome grounds and splendid gardens of a Soldiers' Home ; but iu tbe quiet of their owu firesides, acd surrounded by loved ones, they could feel they ha 1 a Sol diers Home wortc all others, however erandiy they might be constructed and adorned. If tbe number of disabled soldiers are co larger thau bas been estimated by the Icdiituapolis Home Association, the additional burden upon the tax payers of tbe State, to provide a liberal pension lor tnem all, would scarcely be felt. It is etuimated that cot over 1,000 disabled soldiers are to be found in the State. A pension of $100 each per year, would, with tbe Government pension, make the majority of them comfortable and contented. The State pension might be graduated to the condition of those receiving it the worst caes of disability receiving the largest pension. If the people of Indiana are too unpatriotic to make such a provision for her maimed and suffering Bous which we can never believe we would cill on the patriotic and liberal he irted to raise by ubcriptiou what the Legislature refused to appropriate. But we would htve the funds thus raised dibured in the forui of pensioas, theifcbj dipeLsing with tLe costly paraphernal! of ehowy Soldiers' Homes. We do not think our people arc so anxbus for dipliy that they will not subscribe uult-s their subscription is continually paraded before the world by Uvifh trustees and 6tcards of gaudy establishments, mic.tl!(d Soldiers' Homes. The comfort of sll tho disabled boldisrs married and single is what they arc after, aud they prefer to have every dollar go directly to that object. Jlut of the two plans we much prefer tbe first one named the paac of a law by our State Legislature providing a liberal pension for the disabled soldiers of our State and no distinction should be made by ieif.ou of any rank they held in the service. This plan, we think, will satisfy all our cotemporaries, who, with u., doubt the practability and wisdom of tbe Indianapolis Soldiers' Home enterprise. It certainlv will obviate the necessity of spending thounaods of dollars in purchasing grounds and fitting up buildings, which, when, oompleted, will be occupied by but a small portion of thoe who are most needy and deserving. In addition, it will prevent all jealousy among rival cities in locating the Home, and harmonize all differences. This jealousy h inevitable as long aa it is well known that some one city is to be benefitted alone by tbe subscriptions of all others. Locate the Home where you may, it will be found iu the end that mainly thoae soldiers living in its immediate vicinity will enjoy its comforts and privileges. We thus imperfectly submit our views of tha proper way to provide for the comfort of our disabled veterans. We submit it for tbe consideration of our contemporaries, especially those who are not saliaCed with the Indianapolis Soldiers' Home anangtment. Soldiers' Dlicharges, Executive Dipartmest of Ixdi est of Indiana,! ral's OrriCK, !, August 7, 165. Apjutaxt (Jener Inma apolis To Ditcharged Indiana Soldiers: Numerous inquiries having been made at this ofSce in relation to the sale of soldiers' dis chirge papers, the following information and suggestions are published tor the benefit of whom it may concern: The oaly objeet any one cau have in purchas icg soldiers' discharges ii to defraud or speculate off the soldiers who may be foolish enough to sell their papers. It is btlicve! that Congress, probably at its next session, will pas a taw giving to soldiers at least one hundred and tixty acres of laud, and it may be thit an additional bounty in ca?b will be granted to veterans and those who received none of the large local bounties paid to new recruits under the calls ot last yeir. Speculators underotand very well that co soldier can receive his land warrant, or any bounty that may be allowed by Cougre, unlers he can produce an honorable discharge. They, therefore, are aow endeavoring to buy up the-e papers lor a mere song, with tbe view of selling them back to tbe persons discharged, or their heirs, so soon as the law is passed, of course expecting to make a big profit in each case. I, therefore, warn soldiers not to part with their discharges for any consideration whatever. The Government has land enough to give you each a farm; and a greatful people, appreciating your services iLd sacrifices, will see to it that Congress does you jutice. Tho?e of you who have fought through the war without receiving any local bouties should certainly get as much as those who staid bick until the war was nearly over and then joined the army only for money. Remember that your discharge papers mut be produced befote anything can be secured from the Governmeu Besides, allow me to remind you, jour diichü-Ca are evidences of faithful and honorable service to your country, of which every soldier should feel proud.

Near the mouth of Coal Creek, where the Company ha large quantities of lands salt water has b.en discovered equal in quality tothe Kanawha. This water was procured some 35 years sgo ty boring, soon after, the Onondaga alt finding its way down tbe Wabash and Erie Canal, Mr. Thomas, the proprietor, finding hlmaelf unable to compete with it, abandoned the manufacture.
