The subject OF the revenue will demand
your attention. \ rerklessnrss has char
acterized the legislature Of the Smtc for
the last ten years, that has Involved US in q
most onerous debt. For many years past
the Western part of the State has been cou-
Lributing, IN an unequal and unjust pro-
portion to the revenue, which has been
largely expended on internal improvements
for the benefit of oar Eastern brethren,
from which the West has received 40 adj
vantage in any form. the proceeds of the
heavy deOt contracted on State account
have also heen applied TO Eastern railroads
and improvements from which the West
derives no benefit. The leaders of Seces-
sion in the Gulf States have adrOitiy in
vOlved Virginia in an immense expenditure
in support of their reasonable schemes;
and to save their own people and property,
have managed To transfer The theatre OF
war to our territory. Before they Are tiriv-
en- out, the whole Ut the material interests of
the State East of the Blue Ridge will
probably be destroyed, inciniing the Inter
ual improvements upon which such lavish,
expenditures have been made.

attention TO render effective the collection
of she taxes already imposed, aud the Ut.

our people, NO incTease of taxation should,

The Logic of Treason.

ginia Legislature and at one time Wing
Member of Congress. Under Mr.. Fillmore,
he was Secretary of the Interior He was
last year a prominent supporter of Bell aud

Constitution and the enforcement OF the
Laws. He was chosen from his county oi
Augusta Union delegate 70 the late Con-
ventuu Of Virginia, and 10. some time il1u-
red as Union man therein; but We cannot
say whether he did or did not finally give in
to the SecrssiouSts and vote to take the
State ont of the Uuion, rs the veil Of secrecy
has not yet been removed from these last
dark doings. But Mr.. Stuart has been ask
ed what lie proposes now to do, and he thus
responds through The Stanton Spectator

citizens to stand by the action Of the Slate
1t is no time for elimination or recrimnatiOn.

while it was still kept secret, they rushed II.

The wild Cat" Company.

The volunteer companies from PotteI
and Elk counties are creating some con
siderable attention at Harrisburg. Few
of our citizens, we take it, have n very
dcfinite idea of the country from which
these men come. Such being the case
their appearance attracts good deal o.
attention; while their skill with the rife
throws into the shade all the perform
ances of our city amateurs. The avoca
ton of these hardy fellows -one and all
is the lumber business. Their entire
lives, excepting the season of rafting, is
spent in The pineries In the time oi
the spring treshets they come down the
Srsluchanna With their avails of their
toll; and then at Columbia, Marietta and
Port Deposit they may be seen 10y thou
sands Their only pastlaie IS the ri8e,
with which they bring down alike the
largest and the smal est game. We
have seen these fellows kill black SOUR
rels by the string. every one Of which is
hit upon the top of the head, leaving
the skin uninjured The use of small
shot they consider unworthy Of the hun
ter. They bring down squirrel from
the top of pine so lofty that the game
is scarcely visible to ordinary eye-sight
During the still hunting season they
subsist almost entirely upon venison.
and, with scarcely feeling its i'll effects,
can imbibe sufficient whisky during a
holiday frolic to kill outright an ordina-
ry drinker.
The men, in their daily work of cut
ting timber, receive more or less axe
wounds in the course of the experience
and for this reason we learned yesterday
several of them were rejected at the re-
cent inspection. The rejected men are
now in this city endeavoring to be recei-
we'd into other regiments. They are de-
tcr"ined to fight, if they are obliged to
fight Oh their own personal account
They grumble immensely at their rejec-
ton, and for the simple reason that in
he pincries of Potter and Clearfeld E.
scarce man can acquire skill as wood
chopper without receiving more or less
cuts upon his limbs. One man in the
regiment, who was informed that he
could not be accepted, lost his temper,
and offered to bet the inspector that he
would walk fifty miles without complain
ing of weariuess, and not eat or drink
anything until tie york was accomplish
ed.
More than this, he offered to double
the first wager that he could pierce the
eyes of jeff Davis or any other traitor.
with his rifle at the distance of $50
yards. The inspecting officer was so i'm
pressed by the mans rem monstrancc a.
gainst rejection that he declined the bet,
and ordered him to fall back into the
ranks.
The first piece of personal property
sought for by most persons is time
piece. In the wildcat district of Penn
sylvania the first ambition is the owner
ship Of rife These men bring their
rifles with them but the probability is
that these arms will not be accepted -
By way of showing the skill of these
men with the rife, we may state that
five of the rejected men exhibited their
skill yesterday by hitting five cent
place from split stick at a distance of
$50 yards, They will, in all probabili-
ty be accepted into some of our own re-
glments.
