inforcements when our youth are already in the
field? And when peace is finally attained, where

needlessy neglected, and mere boys permitted to
join the ranks, because carried away by ZEAL with
out discretion, the novelty of camp life presenting
more attraction to them than college discipline
Gymnasiums and military exercises combined, with
a regular educational course, might do more for
our future than the slight addition of these young

CONFEDERATE TAx.-Ihe Congress has levied
a war tax of fifty cents on the 500 value of what
every man is worth. If any State will pay its
quota between this time and the 1st Of April next,
10 per cent will be discounted. The Government
has appointed one collecting agent in each of the
Southern States and that agent is required to ap-
point a sub-agent in each county, in all cases
lecting the sheriff or other county officer whose
duty it is to collect taxes.
Much apprehension is felt as to the ability of
the people to raise the money for this tax. Those
who have the means will pay it cheerfully, but in
view of the difficulty in the way Of collecting
money on old claims, many fear they will not be
able to meet it. There is distrusttul feeling
abroad, tending to contract purse strings except
in the few rare cases where sure and liberal returns
may be relied on This nsay so far wear off before
we are called on for the Confederate tax as to re-
move the difficulties which now seem to be in the
yav of the people Sufficient unto the day is
the evil thereof" of"-SaliSb~ry Watclman.
If the State Convention, which meets in Novem-
Der, will repeal the Stay Law and allow business
to 60 ON and take its usual course there will be no
difficulty about getting money to pay taxes But
little money will circulate whils that ruinous Law
is in force.

No FAlTH.-Those precious fellows all through
the country, who are charging exorbitant prices
for leather, bacon, sugar, coffee, shoes, &c. &C.,
articles of indispensable common necessity, are
infdels, or faithless christians. They either do
not believe in righteous God, or else they are
afraid to trust him.
