ICE

MR EDrTeR: Would it not be we'll, yea, is it not
the duty of our citizens who live in ATTITUDES favor
able for the purpose to begin now to make prepare
ton for putting up large quantities of ice. Cut off
as we may be from supplies abroad, if our coast has
to be projected during the next summer our brave
soldiers must suffer no little if supply Of this ar
t,ce cannot be obtained. And not only soldiers
but our private citizens in our cities, towns, and
villages. and the extreme Southern sections of our
Confederacy, must likewise be deprived of their &C
customed summer luxury. 1t would be- not only
humane and patriotic act, but remunerative one.
Let our citizens them who live in the colder sections
of the Soath, and in close proximity to our Rail
roads and naygabe streams sec to it that there be
no scarcity of this valuable commodity during the
next summer; and show our enemies of Yankey-
dom, that we can liye'without Northern ice.

fair countrywomen they have left behind.
Yes, the lades-God bless them-what could the

possess that true energy OF character. which is now
exhibited in u wHingnc,s, sustained by a determi-
nuion to exert all the power they have for the at
talnmcnt Of the end we propose.
That end Mr.. Editor, is "a vigorous prosecution
of the war, and perpetual separation from the Unit

Can you for one moment suppose that people
possessing such ladies', can lin the language of Pres

never, nerer.
While upon this subject, allow me to state what
the ladies' OF Richmond county have done, and are
still doing. for they evince not the least abatement
of their zeal They have already made UP and sent
off 200 over-coats 400 shirts, 400 pair of drawers,
$50 pair of pantaloons 500 pair of stockings; be-
sides blankets, quilts, towels bed ticks, &c, with
ices, wines, brandy, &C.; and not satisfied with
all this, they have contributed some $500 in money

such wives and daughters afford to be whipped 3

Editor Of the Standard, RalsieA M O.:
DEAR sln:-I have read III gulE The 3!

upon the meaning of the M whle9 Anio sA4 !.
is collected, as we'll as that the different portions Oh
our State may act uniformly in this matter take
the liberty of sending you this communication, IN
hopes that you viii give the desired 'nformation'
and that it may be replied to by some assessor IN
some other portion Of the State. 'sAts
Firstly, you say: IAN persons who are not worth
$500 in property and money are exempt from tag
alton "e''7 . = f''
Here in the outset we differ in our opinion Of the
law. The assessors of this county, before entering
upon their duties met and consulted together read
the act and the instructions and determined upon
a uniform plan of action. We found it distinctly
stated in said act and instructionst y" Heads #
families whose taxable property does not amount to
$500, are exempt" In consequence, we have re-
quired ALL persons, male and female over u years
of age, owning taxable property and not being inc
head Of family to list their property II I'D otner
portions Of this State and Confederaey this class OF
our citizens are exempted it is clear we should ex'
empt ours likewise. ~'-
Nexta as regards the valuation of real estate. The
act states that the property shall be assessed at It's
| marketable value, the first of October, 1851.
The last general assessment in this State made.
| think, eighteen months or two years ago, since
which time all such property has deprecated great
| ly in value. | believe deduction of at least 20
! per cent should be made from that valuaton.f IN
this matter uniformity of action is the principal re,
| qusite 1t would matter not if we took the OLD
assessment, if all the other assessors would do the
| same.
| Again: Do all the Banks Savings Banks kaii-
road Navigation and Gas Companies list their stoch'
and thereby exempt individual stockn .iers
AS copies of the act are scarce, believe only one
copy of the law and instructions are sent TO county
| believe you would be doing great favor to tax
payers and particularly to assessors to give or on
tain for us, some further light upon this subject
AN ASSESSOR.
Our correspondent is correct We discovered
after the article was printed, that VIC had simply
followed the common idea, and on reference to the
| act found that "headS of families" only who were
not worth $500 were exempt. All other persons
are taxable if they havs any amount in proPert!
OF money, which is included in the law.
We think the view of our correspondent on TIM
point, the true policy. Property has certainly de
preclated greatly, and the assessment should be
new one.
1t is proper that the Presidents of Banks ant
corporations should enlist the stock and pay tn
tax, deducting it, of course, from the stockholders
! dividends But in case the officers of those corpo
raUons fail to enlist the stock, each stakeholder
| bound to Go it.

stopped here only long enough to cook one

The field officers are; Colonel, NJ. Nj.

ment is all full and fully organized, though
some OF the companies have not the max
ium OF men. In the way Of general sup
plies, they have everything except arms,
oyereoats and fatigue suits. AS to their
general appearance. there was little op.
portunity for judging but the mere fact
Of being an Iowa Regiment is capital
enough to start on.
