The Advantages of well Organized
Systems of Labor.

Mr.. EDIToR: 1t is my desire to disclose a few
thoughts at this important crisis on the passing
events of the day, including the probability of
negro slavery being crushed out of these United
States and the consequences that must inevitably
follow in their train. 1t is not my design to be
mixed up in discussion of the cause or causes
that led to this fratricidal strife, but merely to
speak of things as they are, and what may be
their ultimate condition. Previous to the war
cotton was cultivated the full extent of the de-
mands made by the manufacturers of the raw ar
ticle, both in Europe and in country and
offered to the purchaser of their fabrics at
very reasonable rate, SO that the most INDECENT
persons in community could clothe themselves
with ease from their daily earnings. This deci-
ded advantage to the poor had grown out of a
well digested organized system of slave labor
which had become domestic and patriarchal in
stituton; and should it be seriously disturbed in
its long established organization, that now seems
to threaten it, will be attended with more serious
difficulties and disasters than can be imagined
at the pres mt moment by the most far-seeing
statesmen
1t is an established fact that no man can ration
controvert, that a system OF organized labor
whether it be free or slave, is the backbone and
bulwark of any nation. Ii is the nucleus of
wealth and prosperity which concentrates and
gives vitality to all other branches of industry;
tits the base upon which all departments ofgovern-
ment must rest, without which government would
haveno adhesive quality; would crumbe to pieces
like rope of sand; discord and confusion would
prevail; continual intestine wars, no government,
no safety of life or property. And to prove these
assertions, it will be only necessary to point to
Mexico and the States of South America, or any
other country that has not secured this important
and fundamental condition in the construction of
of its government.

county taxes are, we believe, as unknown as State
taxes. There are no educational taxes and the
cost of church support falls mainly upon land in
the shape Of tithes. Our voluntary religious sys-
TEN is expensive for il is larger and still in
the process of development, with all the expense
of construction" upon it.
In estimating, then, the capacity of our people
to bear taxation, we must re arrange the figures,
and taxation An annual Federal levy Of 5000. :
000,0 900 imposes on New Y York a taxation of $50,
100000. If the Federal levy is reduced to $780,
600 ,00O, the share of New York will be still $40,
100000. Where a days labor brings a dollar,
the expenses OF war rise rapdly-for the soldiers
pay is graduated by the rate of the laborer's
wages But the capacity of such people TO pay
taxes, in peace, is to be gauged by the same stand
ard. We must make a day wages the unit of
value in this calculation.
The people of New Y ork can endure a taxation
OF sixty millions year. direct and indirect. Such
an imposition implies increased labor: exacting
economies and no little suffering on the part of
the people. But can the people of the new States
bear their proportionate sharel Can Wisconsin
and Iowa, already oppressed by three-fo debts;
can Illinois and Indiana, with their experience of
taxation; can devastated Missouri and Kentucky,
torn by contending armies, meet these require
ments7
Some of these States will make every sacrifice
to maintain honor and credit; some despairing,
will not even make the attempt; and a large de-
felt of taxation, on the basis we have estimated,
must be left either to swell the general debt. or
to be borne By loyal and powerful States like New
York.

The Volunteers Burial.
BY PARK BENJAMIN.

'Tis eve: one brightly beaming star
Shines from the eastern heaven afar,
To light the footsteps Of the brave,
Slow marching to a comrades grave.
The chill North wind has sunk to sleep:
The sweet South breathes, as low and deep,
The martial clang is heard, the tread
OF those who bear the silent dead
And whose the form, all stark and cold,
Thus ready for the lOOsened mould,
And stretched upon so rude bierI
Thine, soldier, thinei the Volunteer.
Poor Volunteer the shot, the blow,
Or swift disease had laid him low;
And few his early loss deplore-
His battle fought, his journey Ger.
Alasl no wife's fond arms caressed,
His cheek no tender mother pressed,
No plying soul was by his side,
As lonely in his tent he died.
He died-the VOluuteer-at noon:
At evening came the small platoon
That soon will leave him TO his rest,
With sods upon his manly breast
Hark to their fire his only knell-
More solemn than the passing bell;
For. ahi it tells a spirit flown.
Unshriven, TO the dark unknown.
His deeds and fate shall fade away,
Forgotten since his dying day,
And never ON the roll of Fame
Shall be inscribed his humble name.
Alas like him. how many more
Lie cold upon PotOmac's shorel
How many green unncted graves
Are bOrdered by those placid wavesl
Sleep soldier, sleep from sorrow free.
And sin and strife 'Tis well with thee,
'Tis well; though not single tear
Laments the buried Volunteer

tions of the farmers of that State, which will APP

localities, to other places well:
Are the farmers of the West willing and salts

murderous attack by, as is alleged, trio be-

Mr.. Samuel Norton, of that township. We are
also in receipt OF a communication on the same
same subject 1t is alleged THAI while Mr.. Nor

wood at his residence, he was fired upon by one
of a party of three, who had followed him home
from Winchester One ball passed through the
feshy part of the left thigh, while another shat

Our communication informs us that the would

down, to visit neighbor of Mr.. Norton, but who
luckily was absent, and thus escaped. The reso-

nation of the murderous outrage, and give notice
that the citizens viii repel all such attacks by

EDIroR SENTINEL: Time moves along, but this
grand army is still at stand. We are yet on

"high.'' but is beginning 10 sober off Cheerful
ness reigns supreme among the soldiers Every
one is the tiptoe in anticipation of an encoun-
ter with the much talked of Buckner and his con-
federates.
On Tuesday night about & o'clock few rebels
came up TO Rowlet's Station. set FIRE to the depot
and storehouse, and then "vamosed'' All this
was done within sight of our pckets and within
two miles of camp Pretty bold work. Maraud,
ing parties are constantly securing the country
between this and Bowling Green. The bold and
fearless Major of the 9th Indiana is anxious to
ge. after them with sharp stick, but Gen. Nc
Cook will not permit any scouting.
On last Friday our pickets came rushing in
announcing that large rebel force was advanc-
ing. Gen. McCook Immediately sent out several
regiments to their relief Although the mud was
very deep, they went on double quick. Captain
Stones battery was ready to open out at the first
sight Of the enemy But it was soon discovered
to be false alarm. Buckner certainly has more
sense than to try this point.
We are looking anxiousy for forward move
but it is doubtful when, although three days ra-
tons have been ordered and prepared, but this

not in quite as good condition as heretofore. The
measles are making sad havoc among the men,
No deaths have occurred, and it is hoped will not
Other regiments are suffering in like manner.
Every thing is being done that can be by the Off

Col Crittenden is home on sick furlough.
Lieut.. Col. Prather is in command. Major Ab-

The weather for the past few weeks has been
very disagreeabIe. At present the appearance is
rather better, the weather appears to be settled
and the mud drying up.
There is no other regiment in Kentucky de-
serves more praise than this, yet withal it seems
that they are not so much favored as some others.
The Enfield rifles that Gov. Morton sent them

Ii is understood that Col. Crttenden has been
promoted to Brigadier General, and that Capt

these reports is not known here They are both
good officers and reflect credit ON the War De-

The Return of Fugitive Slayes-The
Presidents Position on the Question
He Knows no Authority for Yield
ing Them.

The following reiteration by Mr.. CRoFFur of
the Presidents conversation with jim LANE, we
find in the last received Philadelphia Inquirer:
WASHINGTON, Jan. %, 1862.
/ am authorized by those who were present at
the conversation at the White house between
President Lincoln, General Lane and Senator
Pomeroy, to assure you again that the idea which
the President intended to assert, and did assert,
was distinctly this:
"That the rebel States, having by their own in
sane action abolished slavery in all its relations
with our Government, by repudiating our protec-
ton, they can make no claim on us for fugitives,
and that, therefore, the United States can not re
turn them. without enslaving free men,"
To this conclusion the President said he had
come after deliberate thought.

Federal and Foreign Taxation.

The New York Argus presents the following
considerations upon the future necessities of the
Government, and the ability of TIE people to
meet the enlarged demands which will be made
upon them for its support, which can not fail to
arrest the attention OF the thoughtful reader:
In the discussion of the subject of taxation,
the press, which is expressing sounder views than
heretofore, falls into a general error in regard to
our capacity to endure taxation, compared with
other nations. For instance, the New York Her
aid is accustomed daily to reterate this argu-
ment
Are we not able to stand a heavier tax than
Great Britain, with her impoverished population? =?
Yet in the beginning of the Crimean war, an in
come tax of $50 .000, 900. pledged to the pay
ment of loans for the war, was levied by the
British Parliament and that was distinct from
the other taxes. The whole taxation for the
support of the Government has, in recent years,
been from $3.50 ,0O0, 900 to 1870 900 900 per an
mum, or about one million per day. In 1915
Great Britain fiOated unlunded debt of 1855
600 900, and paid 1850 900 900 in taxes when
her population was only half as large as ours is
now. Will it be said that twenty four millions
of American freemcn have not the public virtue
or the patriotism or that they have not the ability
to bear much taxation twelve millions of
Englishmen, particularly when the obi ect to be
attained is infinitely more precious than that tor
which England contended7
The impoverished population of Great Britain
only pay taxes indirectly. The immense capital
represented by lands. buildings, ships. money and
machinery, far exceeding ours in value, contrib
utes the immense revenues that support the Gov
ernment and sustain the debt.
But the people of Great Britain have no State
Governments to support, few municipalities, no
system of governmental education, and their ag-
/ gregate of taxation is by so much leSsened
| The people of the State of New York pay in
direct taxes for State and municipal purposes,
nearly two millions year. We take the figures
| for tS60.

vania--An Appeal for the Ii be ra ton
OF the Siaves--A Dictator Recon-.
mended.
Al the close of the debate on the financial
bill before the House of Congress last wednes-
dav, THAD. STEVENS, of Pennsylvania, made
a speech, from which we make the following
extract:
How, then, and when, will this war endf In
other words, how can the South be wholly ex-
haustedl Ii viii not end until the Government
shall more fully comprehend the magnitude Of
the crisis, in which party the other must be
reduced to hopeless feebleness. and the power of
future efforts shall be utterly annhilafed- This
is sad but true alternative. The South can
never be reduced to that condition so long as this
war is prosecuted on its present principles-so
long as they are left the means of cultivating
their fields through forced labor. You may ex-
