GEN. McCIELLAN-'o Occasional, of the
Phil. Press says:
1.-THE absence of sensation paragraphs
and startling dispatches may induce our
people, who have been accustomed to the
fash fa1rications of the New York papers,
to suppose that there is Indifference or iu-
ertness in this quarter. The reverse is the
fact. There never has been SO much quiet
and order in Washington, and so much in
dustry and energy on the part of the young
eommander-in-chiefo of the American forces.
Glad to hear what all men have to say
ready to receive statesmen, editors, and pol
itieians, he is careful to avoid committing
himself to a revelation of a single one his
plans"

So 1t has been supposed that General
Fremont's reason for declaring martial law
in st. Louis was to prevent an insure ctiOn
on the part Of the. secessionists- 1t turns
out that it was for their protection that the
proclamation, was made Thedeep and danger
Gus arousing of feeling in the Union popuia-
ion of the city, by the slaughter of favorito
commander and of so many fellow-citizens,
when it is known that Immediately in the
city are several thousand friends Of the
rebel army, exulting and rejoicing at the
great calamity, was snch, that fears were
entertained that summary punishment
would be visited on the heads of the boast
ing rebels.

WHAT PATRIOTIC LADIES CAN DO.-The
wives and sweethearts of the rebels in Ala
bama are knitting socks for the soldiers in
the Confederate army. This is an excellent
idea, and we hope to see it initiated by the
loyal ladies of Indiana, and especially Of
Evansville. Our young Misses, fresh from
school, can leave their crotchet work for a
season, arm themselves with knitting nee
dies, and work assiduonsly for our brave
soldiers, who will be exposed to the rigor
of the disappointing winter. 1t is a So
cial employment, does not interrupt CONVEX
sation, aud can be carried about, Cup stairs
and down stairs" and taken up whenever
convenient. The sewing societies are soon
to be organized " for the season." Instead
of making fancy needle books, aud worsted
work, let them knit socks for the brave
men who are rallying to the support of the
government. In this way, they may add
to the debt the country has already incur
red to the ladies of the land, for their exer-
lions in the cause of philanthropy and pat
riotism.

IndIazaass Portion %. the Direct Tax
How shah 1t be Collected

HOW SnEtAA IT ne corrected
We published last week the voluminous
bill, passed at the late session of Congress,
for the increase of the revenues of the uni
ted States. It was seen that Indiana's por-
ton Of the direct tax is near one million of
dollars. The bill alluded to, provides for
an army Of collectors, assistant collectors,
tax commissioners, SC, to be appointed by
the President, but it also provides that any
State may collect the tax levied, in its own
manner and by its own officers, and pay the
same into the Treasury of the United States
It is the interest of Indiana to exclude from
the State the collectors of the general Gov
eminent, and instruct the assessors of the
different counties to assess, and the TreasHr-
ers to collect, our portion of the direct tax.
It may be done without any additional cost
to the State. The United States tax can be
placed upon the same duplicates with the
State tax, and collected by the same officers.
In this way we will avoid the payment of
several thousands of dollars to Government
tax collectors, and the work will be done
more faithfully and promptly. We call the
attention of the State Treasurer to this ina
portant subject now, in order that proper
arrangements may be made whereby each
county can pay its portion of the tax to it's
own Treasurer.
In this connection it may be proper to
correct several misapprehensious in regard
to the nature Of the Government tax No
tax win be laid upon watches or carriages,
as reported in the first bill The revised
bill leVies a tax upon real estate and in
comes of over $500 per annum. The com
paratiVely small tax levied by Congress, if
properly managed and collected by the
State authorities, viii not be burdensome,
or increase the taxes of the people of Indi-
ana. We believe that the assessment al
ready made is amply sufficient if the State
Government is economically administered,
to meet all the proper expenditures of the
State, and to pay the State proportion of
the direct tax to the National Administra-
ton. But, if the present assessment is not
sufficient, let our officers collect the amount
necessary to make up the deficit.
The Democratic papers in the State are
raising hue and cry about direct taxa
ton. 1t is, beyond doubt, the fairest and
most uniform manner Of Increasing the rev.
enue, and will be borne patiently by all
good citizens. The great rebellion, and the
expenditure of the vast sums necessary to
suppress it, has created this necessity for in
creased taxation, and It is not opposed ex-
cept by political partizans, sympathizeEs
with, and abettors of, the rebellion.

CRY ITEMS

ALL GoNE.-The eight companies of Cav
airy, Col. Conrad Baker commanding, left
for st. Louis yesterday morning, on four
trains. Seventy-fve cars were necessary TO
transport the men and horses. The troops
were embarked without confusion, and in
comparatively short time. The friends and
relatives of the boys were erowding around
the cars, and many fearful faces were seen
as friends, brothers and husbands were ia
king leave of their families and homes.
The majority of the men were in excellent
spirits, and were glad to be off. The first
train went at six o'clock and the last about
nine. By the time of the departure of the
mail train, the Cavalry Regiment had left
US for three years, or the war" May
they return speedily and in safety.

lowed him, when ] overlook an officer, who was
