THAYTR,. ...........KriT0 ...Associate Kditob u. K. J DEWThe Tax ou Newspapers, The Solon of the present Coogreea are determined to tax newspapers, and the discussion of the subject has elicited various opinions as to its practicability. One paper in Kew York says that "the press will make no outcry, because the import will not affect the circulation in the least, every man who reads in America being perfectly Willing to pay one cent more for a daily gratification that has proven more necessary to him than many petty, and not always harmless indigencies, on which the poorest man lavishes dozens." The editor takes it for granted that the tax will be one cent upon each copy of a newspaper. . Let na see what would be the effect. For example, the Journal ia furnished to subscribers at $5 per annum. There are 312 publishing days in the twelvemonth. . Here, then, would be an addition to the subscription price of $3 12, making the price per year $8 12. This is a pocket-picking impost which the public would not long submit to. To say that such a tax would not decrease the circulation of the Journal, is absurd. Again, it is proposed to tax advertisements. This, of course, would be added to the price of advertising, and the effect would be to banish advertisements from (be columns of our newspapers, and, thus in a short time every printing concern in the West would fail, and the people would be deprived of local papers and compelled to sustain the wealthy metropolitan journals. And this Is the reason why the New York papers favor the tax. They know it would break down establishments of limited means, .and give them the monopoly of supplying news to the whole country. The proposition is, to begin in this matter where the English have left off. They tried the system. At first the tax was fourteen cents on a single sheet. This was reduced i ' 1836 to two cents, and in 1855 it was wholly abolished. Advertisements were formerly taxed in England eighty-four cents each, but this was abolished in 1853, and for the first time in one hundred and fifty years the people of England had a free pressThe result at once was the establisbrueut of newspapers all over the United Kingdom of newspapers at once cheap and good. Twenty-five years ago every London paper cost fourteen cents at least (stamp duty included), and some gold at more; but now there are numerous goed journals in Loodon and other places at two cents. The present Congress seek to fasten upon the country a system of taxation which even England repudiated as a nuisance. They propose a tax upon Knowledge ; to fetter the press and place the newspapers of the country, the great eivilizers of the age, beyond the reach of the laboring man, and the mechanic. This would be the inevitable consequence of the proposed tax, because it would so diminish the circulation of newspapers that the former prices o subscription would be largely augmented and papers now furnished for five dollars per annum would be compelled to double their subscription price. Let us as a nation take no step backward -or revive in this free land, a system which England has repudiated and shaken off forever. If there iaone blessing of our government to be thankful for more than for any other, it is the freedom of the press ; uot only the freedom of opinion in the columns of our newspapers, but that freedom from taxation and governmeut surveillance whercreby the people are furnished with papers at such a trifling cost, enabling the poorest man to read each day, the record of events and political condition of the countryLet onr legislators apply themselves to search out other sources of revenue. An uniform stamp-duty on all receipts and bank-checks would be productive. In England, a Stamp-receipt must be given for all sums over forty shillings ($8,) aud this stamp cuots two cents. It is the same for checks, drafts, or orders on demand. Agree-, meais, letters or powers of attorney, bills of exchange or promissory notes, protests, bonds and mortgages, bills of lading, apprentices' indentures, legacies, male servants, dogs, horses for private use, carriages, (except omnibuses aud cabs,) and quack medicines, are all taxed in Englaud, and might be made productive here, now that public purposes require a large public revenue. Would it not be well to try these, or some of them, before imposing taxes on Knowledge? trey The Louis ilia Democrat says that the rebels bve sent a flag of truce from Bowling Greeu to ask for the body of Zollicofier. . It will be given them as soon as it can be obtaiued from Somerset.

Kxetteiuetit at Henderson.

We learn from a gentleman who came op from Henderson last night, that the people of that town were intensely excited by a report that 1,000 rebels were at Dixon, 12 miles from Henderson. It was further reported that they intended to attack the town. We do not vouch for the accuracy of the report, -although -onr informant assured ns that the report was substantiated by some of the best men in Henderson. P. S.-Since writing the above we learn that a portion of the Sixtieth regiment will be sent to Henderson this morning. Flax Cotton', Again. CO"4 We have in our possession a sample of the calico now manufactured in the State of New York from flax and cotton. The proportion of the latter i3 small, and when the machinery now in process of manufacture is put up, it is the intention of the proprietors to make this quality J of goods, without any cotton. The sample before us could not be distinguished from the ordinary calico, except that the " iiuen finish "t is much finer upon the " flax calico" than can possibly be attained in .the old ; style f goods. We are informed that these prints are sold in New York, and it is confidently believed they will be introduced so ex tensively by another year as to materially limit the use of cotton in the North. In view of this coming demand for flax, we advise farmers to prepare for its' extensive cultivation. The seed alone will pay handsomely, for the trouble, leaving a crop of flax which will bring a good price. The seed we are told is now worth $ 1 a bushel, and this alone would pay for the cultivation of flax. Io this country where flax will grow almost spontaneously, millions of bushels of seed are imported. If we are to become a self sustaining people, we must turn our attention to the cultivation of a crop, by which we will be rendered independent of the world and retain among ourselves the millions annually expended for the products of other lands. Our Indiana Agricultural Society should at once issue a circular to the farmers of this State, setting forth tbetje facts and urging upon them the importance of flax culture. The practicability ofsubsti tnting flax for cotton, is demonstrated beyond the possibility of a doubt,' and we have now an opportunity of forever, de throning King Cotton, substituting therefor a product of the Free North. tSTThe wife of John M. Bowman, of Delphi, Iu.l , mi fstimalile lady, was burned to death r Ti.tc - fey-night by the breaking of a coal oii lame- The fluid was spilled on her clothes and immediately ignited. causing her to be burned in a most horrible manner. Our friends who use these new fashioned oils cannot be too careful. The plain truth about the matter is that, they are not safe, for the breaking of a lamp will prove fatal to all npon whom the fluid is spilled. If it reaches the floor and ignites, all the water ituthe Ohio river would not pot it out. The oil is so cheap, that we all feel obliged to buy it, but those who do so should exercise the greatest ' care in its use. Never allow children to meddle with the lamp when ignited, or the table npon which it Btands, and never under any circumstances fill the lamp when burning, or after night. When aecidents do happen from the ignition of this oil they are terrible beyond description. i Thb Praying Colonel. Col, Garfield, the Kentucky hero, who so signally routed the Fallstafilan Humphrey Marshal, is well Known iu Rensselaer connty,lNew York. He is still quite a young man, and a few years ago, when a student at William's College, was in the habit of .going over to the ' Disciples " - churches at Poestenkill and Millville, and preaching to those congregations. On leaving College he went to Ohio and became President of an institution of learning abandoning that position, however, at the call of hia country. He is known in the army as the "Praying Colonel," and is almost a M John Balfour of Burley " in hia rigid piety, yet high courage. JSP The London Times endeavors, by the publication of an infamous and malicious falsehood, to strengthen the cause of the rebels. It says that whispers are already beard in the North of a wish for European intervention. Our dispatches, in today's paper, do not indicate that Johnny Bull is in a good humor,' after all. -.JaWThe Band of the 17th regiment, all of whom, we believe, live in Posey and Gibson con u lies, came down, yesterday, on the Grey Eagle, Laving been discharged from the service. Other bands will be discharged from time to time.' The ,17 th regiment is in Gen. Nelson's Division. He drills the men seven hours a day, with knapsacks on their backs, and the consequence is, that he is very unpopular with the men under himThe fact that be ia discharging the bands of his Division,. .thus -depriving-the boy of music with which to while away the tedium of camp life, will not, we imagine, enhance his popularity. '" -:.- figy It is a somewhat singular coincidence that the battlaof Bull Run was fought oo the 20th of July, the battle of Ball's Bluff on the 20lh of October, the buttle of Drainsville on the 20tb of December, and the battle of Mill Spring on the 20th of January. . iA New Orleans man sent North by the rebels some nunllia ago "to see what ha oould see," wcut back, and made the following report: "I went to Naw York ; business" is going on there about as ever never saw tiiiut; more busy there should judge any body had not guoe to the war didn't actually hear anything about the South.

ARMY CORRESPONDENCE

Fort Smith, " Smithland Ky., Jan. 27, 18C2. Friend Journal : I anticipate a few items concerning the Union forces now encamped at this important point, would in some de gree interest your readers, and I propose to propound a few items. In the first place I roust say the election passed off very quiet, on last Monday. The secessionists looked, what I term, rather gloomy, or if allowed the expression down in the mouth. Although, rather than loose their votes as Mr. Trimble is a good dealer in contraband goods they united their votes for him. Hia majority over Casey, in town, wa3 about fifty. The different precincts throughout the county, polled but four votes. Fort Smith at present is strongly fortified ; the breastworks, constructed under the proflcieut Ekill of Lieut. Shelly DeBrul, 6tand parallel to any in the West There are mounted three eiego guns: one 64-pounder and two 32-pounders. The entrenchments are entirely surrounded by strong pickets, covering a space of ten or twelve acres. I judge, since you heard from us, a great change has taken place. Col. Brand's Kentucky regiment which was encamped here, departed some two weeks ago for Louisville. They were all in fine spirits, and anxious for an engagement with the rebels. On yesterday the steamer Chancellor arrived, having on board the 7th Iowa, or I may say a part; for the chivalry of Iowa's so.13 was tested at the battle of Belmont, and the 7th Iowa, who stood for hours at the point of the bayonet and kept at bay the notorious Cheatham and his degraded followers, until overpowered by re-enforcements from Columbus consequently over five hundred were doomed to die. I need not dwell, or attempt to give a description of the bravery shown by the Union forces at that battle; history alone will record it. Suffice it to say the Stars and Stripes still wave triumphantly over the soil of Missouri, and Sterling Price has creeped slowly and silently into Arkansas, where he can meditate upon the sham proclamation he issued sometime ago: "I want and must have fifty thousand men." I suppose that you are aware that Col. Chet.lan, who has had command of this po9t, has been removed, with the balance of bis regiment, (12th 111.) and two Companies of the Forty and Forty-First, to Paducah. I must say, and I think I speak for all the citizens, that the deportment of the men while they remained with us, could not be criticised by Chesterfield. They were liked by all, and deserve great praise for industry and attention to duty. The officers were gentlemen: of great ability, and well discip lined iu military tactics and the rules of etiquette. 2 In fact we feel a3 though we bad lost many friends. As the steamer left the shore, many lovers took a long linger lag iook, ana were notinea by the waving ot a nandkercnier that tbey were seeo. shall not place the Colonel on the list of lovers you cau juJge for yourself. The City of Memphis arrived last night, with the I'llty-aeconu Illinois regiment, commanded by Col. Wilcox. It numbers one thousand strong. They have gone into camp at this point, it contains a find brass band, which discourses some beautiful Na tional airs, reminding one of the time when we couldlproudly sayin the language of weoster, " 1 be Union now and forever, one and inseperable. ' We are expecting several moreregiments this evening or to-morrow. The health of the troops is very good. must say something in regard to the loca tion, for it stands unsurpassed by any in the State for health and for erecting fortifications. About one hundred cavalry left here some days ago, on a scouting expedition up in Crittenden and Lyon counties. They met no rebels, with the exception of two who were enjoying the arms of Morpheus. They were the horse thieves, Bob. McDon ald and Frizzle, who have been robbing loy al men ot their horses and stock and who assisted so conspicuously in arresting sever al union men in UarrsviIIe, some time ago, Tbey have been forwarded to Paducah, where they will undergo trial. 1 have just learned the number of the force now at Fort Smith, including cavalry and artillerymen it is about twenty-two hundred. . Everything is progressing 'finely,' and I think, before many weeks elapse, Clerks ville and Nashville will be ours. Gei.eral Smith hns returned to Paducah. The Cum berland river is very high and a prospect ot an overflow. Yours truly, A mo Mea Patria. P. S. The gunboat Conestoga has just passed on her way up the Cumberland river. A. M. P. ' From Paducah. A late letter to the Indianapolis Journal says : The Paymaster is here, awaiting the re turn of the troops to commence paying off. 1 hope be will wait as patiently as we did tor nis coming. - i ovary me monotony ot camp lite, we bad a small shooting affair on Sunday night. A number ot articles having been stolen from our Commissary, it was thought ex pedient to post a sentinel at that place, wnen the miet matting hn appearance at the window to try his luck again, received the contents ot a musket in his neck, pass ing clear through and killing him almost instantly. 1 be deceased was a notorious character of this place proprietor of a nouse or ui-iame mat was much loo near our camp to be a propagator of good morals. The river is pretty high at this point, but doing no damage except the submerging of an 84 pound cannon that was lying near its edge at low water, awaiting the completion of a floating battery. ' - A boat has just arrived at the wharf and is landing the 55th Illinois : regiment, with all their equipage. , Their band is playing that popular air, " Bonnie Eloise," which ki the first music I have heard for a week. "8 A General order has been issned by General Buell, numbered twenty-threei complimenting Col. Willichand his gallant regiment of Indiaoiano, for the part they bore in the recent skirmish with the rebels near Wunfordsville. tSfTbe New York Tribune mentions a circumstance which shows how well rebel prisoners are uscil by our government, and how little confidence they have in their own government. It says the prisoners of war at Fort Warrt-n are so well satisfied with their condition tie-e, and have so little stomach to be further "counted in," in the fight on the Southern side, that from forty to fifty of them have voluntarily surrendered their right of exchange to others. It is to be hoped that their example will not be generally followed, for our poor fellows at the South have no such wish to remain in their present quarters. .

A gentleman in this city received a letter yesterday from a rebel at Bowling Green. The writer eays that the siory about the death and defeat of Zollicoffer is a "weak invention of the Yankees."; They know better at Bowling Green, and are not to be so easily taken in by the newspapers. As Zollicoffer's body will soon i reach Bowling Green it is probable their scepticism as to bis death will be dissipated. tlaf-The ladies of the Union Knitting Society who have socks or mittens in their possession belonging to the society, are requested to send them to Mayor Baker's residence to day.
