Editors Chicago Tribune:
The subject Of internal taxation being now
prominently before the country, and the
public vision seeming in some degree OBJ
scufcd in regard to it, am induced to con-
tribtte my mite to dispel the prevailing
mists.
Presuming on the odium attached to q
stamp act, traccable to our revolutionary his
tory, your leading editorial Of yesterday NOM
ing appears to have for its object to reconcile
that, as well Is oth5r internal duties, to the
favorable consideration OF our communities
under the present exigency; and in doing
this, you recitc precedents in other countries
of Europe, besides that Of England, ignoring
altogether its adoption hy our Government il
the war Of 1912.
In support Of the war, stamp duty was
enacted by Congress, with ethers for raising
internal revenues Of almost every description,
such IS tax on clocks and watches, house
hold furniture excepting beds and bedding,
ca1faaees, &C. l don't recollect whether IN
income TAX So called, was levied or not; but
this know, that besides excuses, all annuities
were taxed, and even private bankers wete re-
quired to make sworn statement Of their
business transacted, and to pay certain per
<eAt-i5@ W LIZ p401te. Aue%SeFGfal States
were divided into districts, and collectors ap-
pointed for each.
Direct taxation, also. docs not appear to be
clearly understood BY some persons editors
and members Of Congress among them. A
direct tax, technically, is tax on land and
nothing else: The Constitution expressly pre-
scrlbes that direct tax ehall be levied in each
State. according to the number Of its repre-
eentatiyes (not Including senators} In con
grcss. Therefore, all States having the same
number Of representatives have the same
amount to Pay, to the thousandth part Of q
cent. Notwithstanding this, most of the
editorial fraternity, yourselves among them,
in relation to the bill levying direct ta1'
then before Congress at tile extra session, pub
| lished 4 schedule Of the allotment to each
State under it. In which appeared . fow dollars
| difference between Delaware and Oregon. The
| error was made by making population, instead
| Of representation, the basis.
+ The direct tax Of 1918 VAS ten millions,
| apportioned among the States according to
! the Constitution. 4 deduction OF ten per
| cent. w:s allowcd to any State that would ad-
! vsncc the sum apportioned to it. New York

It is matter for profound gratif cation that

Such triumph Of good sense and patriotism
over mere party shows that the President re-
alizes the situation Of the country, and
it must, therefore, have the most salu-
ta1J effect. Mr. Lincoln seems to hare
turned hls attention to the wholesome advice
given By General Jackson to President
Monroe, "that. IN the selection OF his Cabi-

the nation, and not Of party; that he

BALrIxoRK, Friday, Sept. 10, 1862.
| learn from a gentleman who left Westminster al
noon yeseaday that the Rebels abandoned that lace
at II O'Clock yesterday morning, marching toward
Uuiontown, which is in the direction Of Hagers'
town. They came from Newmarket, on the Balti-
more and Frederick Road, coming across the country,
aud not by road through Frederick
The route by which they left passes through
Unionown, and thence by way of Cavetown to
IIagerstovn. They number about $50, being one
portion of Stuart's Cavalry, with R-pound field
pieces, under command Of Col. Rosser. They dartcd
into town about o'clock, stationed tleir cannon on
hill, Immediately picketed their horses, told the
citizens who had not fed they had nothing to fear
that they came AS friends and would interfere with
no one not in military service
The Secession sympatbizers in town kept aloof
from them as much as possible; but female traitors
locked around them and welcomed them in q most
enthusiastic manner. Their conduct is described as
most disgusting and immodest. They arrested DR..
Bilngsea, the Provost Marshal and afterward
paro ed him. All the books and papers in connec-
ton with the enrolment were destroyed
They also took possession OF the Post-oilice, and
seized all the postage stamps, which they carried of
with them. They opened few letters, but left the
balance.
In their intercourse with the citizens they protested
the greatest desire for peace and desired to be re-
ceived a. friends
No one was interfsred With or questioned with

Haperstown and our surrnse last night that they in
tended to seize the first convenient opportunity after

sligbt importance if it shows no fight, but retreats
into Virginia If il il, many suppose, the bulk oil
