PAID Orr IN THEIR OwN COIN
During the occupation of London. KY.
by the rebel forces under Zollicoffer,
they obtained all Of their supplies from
the Union men of that town, giving in
return that vile stuff, Confederate
bonds, payable two years after date
They never took anything from the Sc
cesh of the neighborhood, but encour-
aged them in all Of their impositions
upon the Unionists about there
When, however Zollicoffer was driven
out by Gen. Schoepf, the Union forces
were in need of supplies. one Of the
richest secessionisis of the neighbor-
hood-who had been most active in
showing Zollicoffer who Of the Union
men had corn and supplies--was ap-
piled to by the General for corn. oats
and hay fer his forces, but was ans
wered by him that he would neither
give, lend. nor sell anything to him or
his forces. Gen. Schoepf then very
quietly sent 8 detachment for the
articles wanted; obtained from the
Unionists around the Confederate
bonds. paid him a good price for his
produce with, bonds, and gave to the
Union men the money of the glorious
Government for which be is now so
nobly fighting.

How CAMERoE's REPORT WAS Mop
IFIED BY THE PREsIDENT.-It is said
that the modification made by the Pres.
ident commenced at the words
1t has become grave question for
determination what shall be done with
the slaves.
All after that was erased, and the
subjoined passage substituted:
1t is already grave question what
shall be done with the slaves who are
abandoned by their owners on the ad-
vance of our troops into Southern ter
ritory, as at Beaufort District in South
Carolina. The number left within our
control at that point is very considera-
bic. and similar cases will probably oc-
cur. What shall be done with them?
Can we afford to send them forward to
their masters, to be by them armed
against us, or used in introducing sup
plies to maintain the rebellion? Their
labor may be useful TO US; withheld
from the enemy, il lessons his military
resources, and Withholding them has no
tendency to induce the horrors Of insur-
reclion even in the rebel communities.
They constitute military resource,
and, being such, that they should not
be turned over to the enemy is too plain
to discuss. Why deprive him OF his
supplies by a blockade. and voluntarily
give him men TO produce supplies?-
The disposition to be made of the slaves
OF rebels after the close OF the war can
be safely left to the wisdom and patriot
ism of Congress. The representatives
Of the people will, unquestionably, Sc
cure 10 the loyal Shareholders every
right to which they are entitled under
the Constitution of the country.

be increased to s4e per pound on
brown, Sc on clayed, zoe on green tea,
&c on coffee, and that no other alters-
tions of the tariff be made, unless fur
ther experience shall demonstrate the
necessity. He deems it necessary to
increase the direct tax, so as to produce
from loyal States a revenue of at least
100000 estimating such duties on
stills, distilled liquors. tobacco, bank
notes, carriages, legacies on paper, evil
dences Of debt and conveyances Of
property, and other like property. as
will produce an equal additional sum-
The income tax will probably produce
SO, ,OO0, 900 more. making an aggre-
gate of $4,000. 900. The Secretary
is aware that the sum is large, but see
ing no probability of the revenue ex-
ceeding $40, 900. 900 during the current
year, he feels that he must not shrink
from a plain statement of the actual ne
cessities of the situation. Two fifths
of one per cent. on real and personal
property of loyal States. will produce
s44. .OO0. .OOo-the proposed income ad-
ding slO.OOo.O0O. The Secretary
recommends plan for a national circu-
lation of notes, the features Of which
are circulation of notes bearing a
common impression. and authenticated
by common authority. The redemp-
ton of these notes by associations and
institutions to which they may be de-
livered for issue, and the security Of
that redemption by pledge of United
States stocks, and an adequate provis-
ion of specie. An important advan-
tage 10 the people by this plan would
be in the increased security of the
Union, springing from common interests
in its preservation, created by distribu-
ton Of its stocks TO associations through
out the country as the basis of their
circulation and he entertains the
opinion il credit circulation be desira-
bic, it is most desirable in this form.--
He states it is earnestly hoped, not
without sufficient grounds, that the
present war be brought TO an auspicious
termination before midsummer, and
that in that event the provision of
revenue bv taxation recommended will
amply suffice for all financial exigencies
without additional loans, and enable the
Government at once to begin a reduc-
ton Of the existing debt. If the war
continues till July 1st. 1869, the public
debt will be s5l7.329, ,S0s. If till July
lst, 1868. il will be in round numbers
geo. .OOO, 600 dollars.
The prohibition of trade with the
rebel States has been fully enforced
Regulations have been established by
which rice, cotton. and other property
in the insurreclionary districts occupied
by our troops, will be collected and
sent by sea 10 New York. All sales
will be for account Of Government, and
the proceeds paid into the National
Treasury.
AS general rule, commerce should
follow the flag. and when The authority
of the Union is fully restored in States,
ports should be opened without restric-
tion, and all commerce freely permitted.
The Secretary closes by saying. it
has been his endeavor to infuse into
bis department the greatest possible ac-
tiviLy and yigor, and hopes that con-
tinued endeavor with larger experience,
will make it what it ought to be.

How TO SELEcr MusHRooN,.--In
consequence Of the death Of Eve OIL
GERS, caused by eating poisonous fungi,
the French Army Board have had the
following instructions published:
Fungi afford man an agreeable and
nouriShing food, and therefore in some
provinces OF France they are consumed
to a great extent. The soldiers seek
them, but unfortunately they often con-
found the poisonous with edible ones,
and thus expose themselves to the
gravest accidents. 1t is important,
therefore, that they should be taught,
as far as science is able, to distinguish
the wholesome from the injurious spe-
cies. and at the same time be made sc-
quainted with the proper means to COM
bat the poison. II is with this view
that the Board Of Health have drawn
out the present instruction. Edible
fungi grow usually in elevated and airy
places in waste ground; whilst the dam
gerous species aIe found in woods, and
in dark damp places. The edible spe-
cies have compact. brittle flesh; while
those with soft and watery flesh should
always be rejected.
Wholesome fungi have an agreeable
odor. although this character is also
found in some injurious species. A
powerful and diagreeable odor is the
certain indication oil noxious qualities.
We ought at once to reject fungi which
secrete milky juice. and those which
present an scrid, astringent, bitter acid
or salt taste.
We should suspect fungi which have
a bright tint. red, green or blue, Of
which the gills are colored brown or
blue. The flesh of the edible species
is in general white; nevertheless, a
beautiful red fungus. the orange o00rie,
is considered as the finest and most
delicate species. Wholesome fungi do
not change color by contact with the
air after being cut; those oil which the
flesh then acquires brown. green, or
blue tint, are poisonous. We ought to
regard as dangerous those which insects
will not touch.
1t is proper TO abstain from fungi.
whatever may be their apparent quail.
ties. when they exhibit any signs Of
change; when even they have been COLI
lected more than twenty four hours
the poisonous properties being capable
of development when the fungus dries
up.
