BS- The editor of the Dayton (Ohio)
Empire, thus speaks his mind to the Lin
colnites, who seem inclined to suppress
the free press and freemen;
THE SPIRIT OF MoBocRAoY. Since the
return of the Dayton volunteers there
have been stndious efforts on the part of
the Dayton journal, and certain Republi-
can men of property, to incite mobs
against the Empire office and Democrats
who do not justify this war. We have but
a few words to say on this subject. We
desire to call the attention of property
holders to the fact that we are doing a le-
gitimate business, under the protection of
the Constitution and Laws of the State,
holding ourselves amenable for any viola
tion thereof. Those therefore, who are
urging others to destroy our property, are
melting to violation of the law-are rem
dering their property responsible for the
safety of our own, for we tell these gentle
men that if the barriers interposed for
our protection by the laws are broken over
by them or their emissaries, the doctrine
of retaliation will be enforced
1t is we'll known that by far the largest
portion of the propertyin this city is own
ed by Republicans-vthat when the spirit
of lawlessness once breaks loose in our
midst-twenty Republicans will suffer
where one Democrat is molested, We tell
these gentlemen frankly, that the first mob
started in this city by the Republicans
against Democrats will become the signal
for inaugurating in our midst strife at
once bloody, vindictive and destructive.
If they desire to taste the bittar fruits OF
civil war, they have but to commence mob
bing and they will get their hearts FILL
Such attempts to browbeat, and by brute
force compel Democrats to sing peans to
the Illinois rail splitter are about played
out and it is high time such conduct was
stopped,
Mobs are much more easily raised thar
controlled when raised, They respect
neither the rights Of property or of per
sons. They would as quickly destroy I
finely furnished and expensive dwelling, I
store, Bank, as to destroy printing of
fee. AS for our course, we will only say
that we feel that we are right, and thu
feeling, we shall yield not an inch, ever
though we were certain our Office would b
mobbed We shall continue in our cours'
regardless of all consequences. w
have been indorsedby the Democracy o
Montgomery with an enthusiasm an'
unanimity never excelled. We shall no
, betray their confidence.

CAPTURE OF THE STEAMER EQUALITY
On Thursday morning the 18th inst, while
the stern wheel steamer EguaLiy-which
is owned by the Lincoln government, and
used as a river patrol between Cairo and
Evansville, on the Ohio river-was lying
at the mouth of Mayfeld creek, at the head
of Island No. /, about three miles below
Birds Point, taking on board maketing
for the troops at Cairo, party of seven
horsemen roke up to the boat and made
a bargain with the captain to convey them
to Norfolk, on the Missouri shore, (where
there are two of Lincolns regiments en-
camped,) at the rate of dollar each, for
themselves and horses. AS soon as the
boat pushed out. The pilot and other Off.
GERS of the boat were astonished to find a
loaded pistol pointed at each of their
breasts, accompanied with instructions to
head the boat down stream. 1t is need
less to say that the orders thus given were
Immediately obeyed, Upon the arrival Of
the boat at Columbus, twenty miles from
Cairo, the crew was set to work taking in
coal, the captors retiring to the hotel to
narrate the particulars Of the capture, and
also to refresh the inner man. Before
each of the seven had given his own YER
sion of the affair, the proprietor of the
hotel came rushing down from the roof
where he had stationed himself on watch
and reported "the gun boats coming-hC
had seen the smoke" This was more than
the eaptors had bargained for, and six Of
the seven incontinently backed out and
would have nothing further to do in the
matter. The seventh one Immediately
started for the boat, with bottle of "reC
eye" and after short discourse with tn,
crew, ordered the plank in, and soon the
SOLITARY horseman,' with his prize, wa'
steaming down the Mississippi, en- rout

Imprisonment for Non-Payment
of the War Tax.
TFrom the Louisville Courier |

We have published, elsewhere in our pa
per this morning, an abstract of the reve
nue. law, passed by Congress at the session
just closed. We must confess we hav'
been astounded at the enormity of severa
of the provisions of the act in regard t.
the collection of the direct tax imposed tc
carry on Lincoln's infamous war. The
54th section of the act authorizes the col
lectors of the tax and their assistants to
ARREST AND COMMIT TO PRISON whoever
neglects or refuses to pay the tax. 1t is
said ''whom the Gods intend to destroy,
they first make mad" 1t appears to us
that Lincoln and his Administration are
rushing swiftly to destruction. We had
supposed that imprisonment for debt had
long ago been abolished; but Lincoln S
Government needs money to carry on the
war, and must have money, and hence who
ever refuses to pay his tax collector must
be Imprisoned. We subjoin the obnoxious
section of the bill, and bespeaklfor it a
careful perusal
The several collectors and assistants ap-
pointed under the authority of this act
may, if they find property to satisfy the
taxes assessed upon any person or author
ity of the 49th section of this act, and
which such person neglects to pay, as here
inbefore provided, shall have power, and it
shall be their duty to arrest such person
and commit him to prison to be held in
custody until the same shall be paid with
interest thereon, at the rate of six per cont
per annum, from the time when the same
was payable as aforesaid, and all fees and
charges of such commitment and custody.
And the place of custody shall in all cases
be the same provided by law for the custo-
dy Of persons committed for any cause by
the authority of the United States, and the
warrant of the collector, stating the cause
