recent act Of Congress. Taking it for

cred from the disloyal states, we may sim
/ pity the matter By surprising that il will
operate upon only about twenty millions
Of people. The result, therefore, will be
one dollar for each man, woman and child
/ in the United States which stand by the
/ Union. This is mere trifc when com
pared with the ends to be obtained by tic
burden. 1t willfall principally upon those
best able to bear it, and upon articles Of
luxury. Ii is true that the indirect tax
upon tea, sugar and coffee touches the hum

will be TO induce a curtailment of other ex-
penses in matters not essential 10 either

three per cent. on all tie excess Of incomes
over eight hundred dollars per anuum, and
five per cent. on the incomes Of non-resi-
dents. The President OF the United States
will pay seven hundred and twenty-six

Amy SUBsIsTENcE.--An army officer
has just made most interesting estimate
of the material required by an army. He
says that 10000 consume daily 81 tons
and ten cwt. Of provisions alone, thus re-
curing 800 horses to carry food enough
to support them for the first four days, as.
suming that they themselves could carry
the first three days iood--and 5000 horses
to carry the food needed every day after
