passed by the extra session Of Congress, in Au.
gust last:
The direct tax assessed upon the value Of all
the real estate in the United States, 10 raise the
annual sum Of twenty millions OF dollars, has
been overlooked by many persons who seem to
he under the impression that there is but one
National Tax (the Income Taxi TO be paid.
by law Of Congress, adopted Aug. 5th, it
was provided, in order to raise the above men,
toned annual SUN, that each State shall be com.
PEELED to furnish a certain proportion Of that
amount, which is to be collected in the following
manner: Assessors, appointed by the Prcsi.
dent, and approved by the Senate, will, about
the lst Of March next, ascertain the value OF
each piece Of real estate, the valuation being
based upon the supposed money value Of such
property on the first day Of April. Property
exempt from taxation is that belonging to the
United States, or any State, or that which is per-
manently or specially exempted from taxation
by the laws Of the State in which it is situated
a deduction Of five hundred dollars will be
made from this valuation. Al persons possess
ing taxable property are required to furnish
written lists Of it to the assessors A false or
fraudulent list will subject the offender to fine
OF five hundred dollars. After the estimates are
completed, public notice will Oe given by the as
SCISSORS where their books may be seen and cor
reciOnS may be made.
The places at which the payment Of taxes
will be made, will be published in 4 newspaper in
each district twenty days before the tax becomes
due : and II PERSONS neglect to attend according
to notification, the collector will make personal
application to them within sixty days after the
receipt Of the collection lists. II then the taxes
are not paid within another twenty days he has
power to collect by distraint.
The income tax, which win be levied on and
after the first Of January next, will be three per
cent. on incomes above eight hundred dollars,
except that portion Of such income which is de.
rived from Treasury notes and other United
States securities, on which the tax will be one
and ahalf per cent The tax is to be assessed
on incomes dating from January, 1861. In esti-
mating the income, all national, State and local
taxes assessed upon property from which the
income is derived will be first deducted.
The payment Of the tax viii be due on or be-
fore the 30th Of June next, and all sums unpaid
on that Jay will be subjected to an interest at the
rate Of six per cent, and in default Of payment
being ynade within thirty days thereafter, the
collector Is authorized to levy the sum on the
visible property Of the deaulter, and sell 1t, after
due notice has been given. II no visible pro-
perry is found, the person assessed may be ex-
:mined on OATH and any stock or bonds he may
possess be sold at public auction. A refusal to

The above is one Of Q number Of similar let.
ters which We have received since we COM
menced publishing the Herald. Our object in
publishing this is to show our readers the i'm
portance Of writing for the paper, and giving
descriptions Of the different sections Of the
Territory, especially such as possess advantages
for farming. One communication like that we
published last week, signed "G. A. p" CwhOm
We here thank for it) is worth more to those
who have at heart the inter Of the Territory
than all the political twaddo ever written and
printed in our journals; and we would be glad
to exclude other matters every week, il neces-
sary, to make room for letters setting forth the
resources which are claimed to exist here. On for.
mer occasions we have invited contributions on
this subject; we repeat the invitation now.

that the liver Is never much disordered itself

Oh. fallen hero, noble friend,
IT'S not the friend mourn in thee.
Though called, in mid-career, to end
Thy shining course of victory.
| dare not grieve, for friendships sake,
To know thy soldiers knell is rung-
That shame or glory ne'er shall wake
The silver trumpet of thy tongue;
That dim the eve whose lightning scared
The traitor. through his brazen mail:
That lips, whose smile of sweetness cheered
Our darkest day, are cold and pale.
No selfish sorrow fits the now,
And we who loved thee stand aside
While she, our Mother, walls her brow,
And in her grief forgets her pride.
When half the stars Of honor fade
That gemmed her banners morning sky
She sees them triumph, who betrayed,
And he, her truest chieftain, die
When low ambition rules the land,
And patriots play the traders part,
We i'll can spare his open hand,
We i'll can spare his honest heart
When timid lips proclaim their doubt
To chill the ardor of the brave,
We miss his daunte>s battle-shout,
That never truce to treason gave.
When Freedom's base apostles preach
Dishouor in the sacred name

No more shall smite the covering shame
