THE PRESIDENTS MESSAGE.

We received the Presidents Message about
two hours before going to press-too late for
its insertion this week. Had it come to hand
on Tuesday we should have given it in full as
it is it will go over to next week.
The message is model of compact statement
and of brevty. 1t gives satisfactory state
ment of the progress made in suppressing the
rebellion, and of the prospect for the future.
The relation of the war to Slavery the Presi
dent evades except to recommend the acquisi-
ton of territory upon which to locate the con.
fscated contraband, and such free negroes as
choose to leave the country. By his silence he
signifies the determination Of the administra-
ton to leave slave property to the natural and
inevitable effects of state of war. The "lo. iC
Of events is more potent in the solution Of
difficult problems than al the theories of the
m ost distinguished the orists.
The Presidents message was unaccompanied
by ony.department documents. IN consequence
of the estimates of the departments coming in
later than usual this year, the report of the sec
retary of the treasury will not be sent to Con.
gress till Friday or Saturday.

THE LAWS.

On the outside Of TO days paper we publish
all the acts Of the late session OF the Iegisa-
ture, designated ny the Secretary of State for
publication. III the act numbered &c." and en-
titled "An Act for the protection Of the treasu-
ry," manifest error occurs in the last two
lines Of section -four the word "second" be-
fore the word "sectiou" should read "third y as
the error was in the original act as it passed
both Houses and was approved, we did not
feel at liberty 10 make the required change. In
the act numbered "63," and entitled "An Act
providing pay for certuin soldiers, and in rea-
ton TO the support of families of volunteers"
reference is made in the 9TH and Slh lines of
the first section 'to the acts to which this is an
amendments" as the act now stands this is OBJ
scure, but if it is borne in mind that the origin
al title of the bill before it was amended was
"An Act in amendment of acts entitled, AN Act
to provide for raising six special regiments for
immediate service for protecting and defending
the Constitution and Union and AN Act to
provide for citizens of Vermont mustered into
the service of the United States Approved
April 26, 1861" the obscurity vnnishes. This
act as it now stands YVES the result of confer
ence between committees of the two Houses,
and in changing the title of the original BILL of
which the LIST sectien of this act was a part, the
phrascoogy Of the section aforesaid was mad
vert entity overlooked. There can, however, be
no reasonable doubt as to the construction of
the car, % ,1, NAM a., tho ;n,o,,,;,,
of the Legislature.
In reference to the multiplicity Of acts in
which provision and referc &c to the pay of vol
unteers and aid To their families are made, the
following abstract al the law on that subject as
it now stands has been prepared and it is be-
leved to he accurate and to cover the whole
ground-
All troops hereafter .ised except the Butler
Regiment and Sharp Shooters. will be entitled
to the same pa M the State as is provided
In the "Six lie ;;aent Act of last Spring, for
the iull term of their enlistment, viz for non
commissioned officers, musicians and privates
500 per month until mustered into the service
of the United States, and 81 per month there
after.
All non-commissicncd officers musicians and
privates, ,cho are citizens and residents of Ills
State and who eusted previous to November
Goth, 1861, and all who enlist subsequent to
that date who nj the time of their enlistment
had been citizens and residents of this State
sixty days, are entitled to the benefits Of the act
''proyiding for the support of families of citi-
zens of Vermont mustered into the service OF
the United States"
All Vernon, troops now in the service of the
United States, including the Sharp Shooters,
Col. Platt's Cavalry Regiment, and Col. Thorn
as Regiment are entitled to 81 per month OIL
ly from this State.
The 81 per month pay begins in all case,
from the date of mastering into the service o.
of the United States.

THE PAY or PRISONERS OF WAR.-Adjutant
General Thomas has issued general order
giving directions concerning the pay Of soldiers
who are prisoners of war, which, Of course,
goes on Just the same as if they were still serv-
ing with their regiments.
payment will be made to persons presenting
a written authority from prisoner to draw his
pay, or without such authority to his wife. the
guardian OF his minor children, or his widowed
mother in the order named.
Applications for such pay must be made tn
the senior paymasler of the district in which
the regiment OF the prisoner is serving, and
must be accompanied by the certificate of a
judge of court of the United States, of a dis
tyict attorney of the United States, or some
other party under the seal of court of record
of the State in which the applicant is resident
setting forth that the said applicant is the wife
of the prisoner, the guardian of his children
or his widowed mother, and il occupying either
of the last two relationships toward him, that
there is no one in existence, who is more near,
ly related according to the above classification.
Payments will be made to parties thus an
thorized and identified, ON their receipt madt
out in the manner that would be required o
the prisoner himself, at least one months pay
being in all cases retained by the United States.

THE STATE TAX.

Among the laws designated by the Secretary
of State for publication we do not find the act
which provides for the support Of government:
We can conceive of no reason for its omission,
for it is an act of more consequence to the pub
lie than almost any other that was enacted by
the General Assembly. 1t is of itself an If.
resistble appeal to the pockets of every man,
and one that is often made in touching man
ner. The comforts and enjoyments of life are
evancscent and eerilin, but taxes, like death,
are sure to oyertake every man of any means
whether visible or invisible No plea in abate-
merit will ward off the constable, for he always
goes armed with document that provides for
the distraining of goods chaltles. &C., and sin
default thereof TO take the BODY" &c. 1t is a
weapon that never misses fire nor fails to bring
down the game. And this year this fact is like
ly to be appreciated.
The tax imposed by the act referred to is so
per cent of the Grand List. This LIT for State
taxes amounts to 1910 59O,O5 so per cent of
which is about $4S5450. Deducting abote-
ments and l2 per cent for collection and il
is believed that this tax will yield $3.50 600 net
revenue. OF this tax the proportion for Wind
ham county amounts to nearly $4,000, and
for tie town Of Brattleboro, $7,222.
The fees for the collection of this tax are 70.
duced one half on the ground that it is but lit.
tie more labor to collect large than small
tax. In most cases. however, the towns and
not the constables will bear the loss, as the con
stable seldom receives the entire per cent al
lowed for collection.
The State has assumed its share of the direc
tax imposed by the general government, amour
ting to $2l 900 less 10 per cent, and will pay
the same into the Treasury of the United States
Consequently this tax is not to be assessed anC
collected in the manner provided by the United
States for the collection of taxes in the States
that do not assume their respective quotas o.
this tax, but is to be paid out of any money.
in the Treasury not otherwise appropriated
Hence the State tax of so per cent covers all
the taxation, except local taxes, for the ensuing
year.

fight desperately; but how could the small
number Of male whites defend their helpless
wives and daughters against lenfold force of
matldcued slaves, whose strength and ferocity
are vel, knnNup
No genera insurrectiun has taken place,
though several re-, volts have been altempted
ttco quite recently and in these cases achole Gtmi-
lies ioere murdered before The Siares tcere sub
dUed. Then came retaliation of the most fear
fu character. At any time where servants as
sail or murder white persons, speedily and Sc
we're punishment is administered; but now they
do not wait for the action of the law; Lynch
law prevails. In these revolts. which occurred
in the interior of the State, most of the SER
wants who participated were either shot in the
conflict or as soon as captured, and two of them
were burned to death.
To say they were burned to death seems
simple sentence, devoid of any special horror !;
hut the scene as describe to me BY a witness
was too dreadful for mortal eyes. Imagine the
poor wretches. red with the blood of their mas-
tiers, covering in the hands of those from whom
they need not look for pity; not even for time
to repent OF deeds which exclude them from
hope hereafter. They are dngged and defiant
towards their captors, until their doom is pro.
nounced-a fate of which they have special
horror. Dragged to the place of execution,
within sight of their own houses, surrounded
by their fellow servants. who are compelled to
witness the sight, they are bound to strong
trees, with 'reat heaps Of pine knots piled close
around their persons. Directly the torch is
applied, and the inhlmmable pine bursts into
vivid flame. Wnen the flame reaches the boz
dies, and the sensitive flesh peels and crackles,
their cries are too fearful to be heard by hu-
man ears. Nor is the torment soon over.
The flames scorch the upper par; of the bodies,
producing exquisite agony, but slowly burn in
to the vitals, until the wretched sufferers go to
Judgment, with all their crimes upon their
| heads
| undertook to say the apprehension of SER
vile instruction lost its pawer when, as time
passed, all seemed peaceful so we easily fill
back into dreams of security until these events
aroused us to watchfuness. This news is sup
pressed as far as possible, and kept entirely
from the papers, for the negroes bear what is
published if they do not read it, and such ex-
amplrs might produce disastrous consequent
cCs.

THE TARIFF.

1t is surprising that papers which support the
administration should continue to miSreprestnt
the character and effect OF the Morrill, tariff.
Undoubtedly much foreign hostility has been
excited, not by the tariff itself, but by the mis-
representations Of it, some of them interested
and malicious, and some Of them only ignorant.
We have more than once, and at considerable
length defended the revenue laws of the coun-
try us compared with those of Europe, and We
do not propose to go over the ground again.
The existing tariff, whether good or bad is low
err in its rates, simpler in its details, and more
leberal in its provisions, than the ariifs Of the
countries whose hostility towards it has been
excited by misrepresentation at home. 1t i,
the lowest tariff of its predecessors except the
tariff of 1857, which was so inadequate to the
wants of the government that it piled up deb
OF SS0,O00,OOO in four years, and the public
credit ran so low that money for the absolute
needs of the treasury could be hired only al
twelve per cent.
What would the DIRECTORS have? Would
they have us 20 on with the revenue system
that yielded only three quarters the ordinary ex-
penses Of the government? The tariff OF lS46
yielded too large u revenue, and the tariff OF
1857 was enacted to cut it down. The tariff Of
1857 yielded too little a revenue, and the tariff
Of 1861 was enacted to !ring it up. The rates
are between those of 1916, which were found
too nigh, aud those of 1857, which were found
too low. II it is not right, it can be remedied
and if the men who denounce it will devise Il
plan whereby the ordinary expenses Of the gov
eminent can he met by the duties on imports
leaving the war expenses to be met by loans
and extraordinary taxes, they need have no ap-
prehension concerning its immediate adoption
This would he better employment than in de-
nouucing our own government and, intlaming
