A5- MEETING OF THE MERCuASTs-OP
POSITION tn TIKI OSE Per CENT TAXA
large and respectable meeting of the
Merchants of this city, convened at Col
Loriugs Office in the Court House, yes
terday morning. Mr.. Thos. Sweeney was
appointed chairman and Mr.. 0. W. Ieiskill
acted as secretary. The chairman read n
Geographic dispatch which had been re-
ccived by Mr.. Heiskill, from one of our rep
rcsentative in Richmond, in which it was
intimoted that n bill was before the Legis-
lnture proposing to tax merchants one per
cent. upon their sales
Mr HciskilI understand that the object
of the meeting was to prepare and agree
upon remonstrnnce to be forward to our
representatives, rs it was thought probable
that the measure would come before the
Legislature to-day, wednesday,
On motion committee was appointed
to draw up q remonstrance against the
measure. The committee consisted of DR..
T. H. Logan, o. W. Heiskill, N. Reilly,
and the President, Mr.. Sweeney. The
turned, and reported the following pre-
amble and resolutions, which were unani-
mouSly adopted:
WHEREAS, information has been received
that it is proposed in the General Assem-
blv of Yirginiu, to alter the tax on Mer-
chants license, SO as to estimate the same
at one per cent, on amount of sales,
And Whereas, it is notorious that the
present tax on Merchants license is onor-
Gus and Oppressive, and far greater than
the tax imposed upon Merchants in the
surrounding States,
And Whereas, it is we'll known that the
present rate OF tax has already, from its
oppressive character, placed the Merchants
OF this State at great disadvantage in
their efforts TO compete with the Mcr-
chants of surrounding States who are not
bOrne down with such taxation. There
tore
ResoIred, That any increase in the tax
on Merchants license must necessarily
result in the destruction of the comercial
interest Of the State aud that we do earn
estlv demonstrate against any increase.
k,soiced That the foregoing be tele-
grhphed to our representatives, at Rich
mOnd.
The matter was discussed by the differ
ent merchants present, and considerable
zeal vas manifested. a proposition was
made to send delegate to Richmond,
but rs it was not known when the Legis-
lature would adjourn, it was thought not
advisable. The tax proposed would be n
most fatal thing for the merchants of the
Fan Handle, paying as they already do, a
most burthensome assessment.

Esg-THE CALLIoPR-This steam musical
instrument is becoming quite popular with
the Ohio river steamboats,, and nearly ev-
cry day we are startled by the strange mu-
sic. The Calliope is great puzzle to ma
ny persons along the Ohio who hear the
music for the first time. A young man
who lives near Ceredo, in the Thnyer Col
oay, was somewhat astonishcd the other
morning when the steamer Grey Eagle
passed that place 1t was little foggy,
and though he heard the boat he did not
sec it. He looked up the river aud then
down; looked east, north and south, then
over his head into the sky; but could not
make out where the music came FROM
Again ne looked up the river, and once
more above him, and if ever one man was
perfectly bewildered, enchanted or puzzled
into strange maze, that chap was Pnoth-
er in just such fix. If he had been be-
lever in the immediate coming of the mil
auium, he would at that time have looked
for the advanced guard of GLbriel's escort.
lie was greatly relieved when told that
it was - musical instrument on board the
boat coming down, but he has not yet en-
tirely recovered. 1t does sound rather
nnimating in the morning early, when the
mir is clear and still, and the bluffs on the
sides of the river send back the echoes
strong aud shrill, and must surprise one
not used to it,
