Taxes and the Poor.

John ". Foruey in the Phladelph phia
Press complains that those who grumbe
'oudest at the imposition of national taxes
are those who have the least pecuniary in
terest in the preservation of the governs
usnt.
Ifths be true, the fact is not without
a good reason. Under the present system
Of national taxation, the poor are first and
most heavily oppressed BY the burden. The
tax is not distributed in proportion to the
amount of property possessed, but in pro
portion to the demands of the stomach for
food, and the back for rament The
poor man pays as much upon his pound of
cheap tea, as the rich man pays upon his
pound Of costly tea. Very naturally the
former feels the oppression, while the lat
ter does not.
One Of the most fruitful sources Of 70
gro, connected with the existing civil war,
is the fact that he immense debt i. will
leave behind. must in probability prove in
a great part the especial Inheritance of the
laboring and mechanical classes of our
population, The Influences connected with
the question are such, that so far as pos
sible, we ara TO have specific instead Of ad
valorem dutieSTand taxes upon consump~
lion rather than upon propsrty-a princi
pie which abstracts from the working >lnans
till the same sum that it takes from the
bankers vault.

FRESH MAPLE MoLAssEs.-A cores
dendent Of Field Notes, gives the follow
ing;
Maple molasses we'll made and put up
in cans right from the kettle, and hermet-
ically sealed, as you would can and seal
fruits, will keep as fresh as when first boil
ed from the sap, and this is decidedly the
best plan for keeping, ss when made IN
cakes, if exposed to the air, it will lose
somewhat of the peculiarly delightful fla
vor for which it SO priced, and is often in
jured by insects. All this is obvialed by
canning while hot. To mauy families who
do not make on a large scale, this need
be bnt little expense as the cans that have
been emptied through the winter can be
used until autumn fruits demand them
again. Putu your best in this way

Behind a market stand installed,

Stands at her stand the falrest girl
I've met with at the bay;
Her two lips are of cherry red,
Her hands a pretty pair,
With such pretty turn up nose,
And lovely red:.h ha.r.
'Tis there she stands from morn ill

Her customers to please,
And to appease their appetite
She sells them beans and peas.
Attracted by the glance. from
The apple OF her eye,
And by her Jersey apples, too,
Each passer-by will buy.
She stands upon her little feet,
Throughout the liveIong day,
And sells her celery and things y
A big feat by the way.
She changes off her stock for change,
Attending to each call,
And VIXEN she has bu. one beet left,
She says-"Now that beats all I"

ccrtained that the current complaints
to the effect that the army of the Po,o-
mac lacks necessary supplies, and is una
bic to advance against the enemy, for the
reason they have been withheld, are ut
terly without foundation. The matter
was brought to the attention of the Sec
rotary of War. He instituted an investf-
CATION which disclosed the fact that every
requisition from the army under General
Mcclellan, had been Immediately answer
ed, and that every article called for had
been promptly delivered. shoes not ex-
cepted. This We are enabled to state
distinctly and positively.
Reports differ respecting the present
whereabouts of the great Rebel army of
Virginia. The general opinion among
our officers is that the main body remains
in the vicinity Of Winchester. Intelligent
residents of Frederic City, however, pro-
Tossing to speak on the authority of desert
ers and refugees, black and white, are
confident that little more than the shell
remains in front of our forces, most of
the rebel army behind il having crawled
away. The circumstance that Bragg has
in like manner escaped Buell., by eyacua-
ting Kentucky. lends plausability to this
latter suggestion, in the eyes Of some
persons.

The Georgia Constitutionalist under
stands the policy of the party supported
by the Keokuk Constitution, and takes
great encouragement therefrom.
The Georgia Const'tutionaiist says:
"There is, however, evidently in the
West, and particularly in Ohio. Indiana
and Illinois, strong opposition to the
present war upon the South. The tone
of the press in those States, the public
meetings amt he Democratic Contentious,
all prove this conelusively. This feeling
does not display itself as boldly opposed
to the war per Sc, but assume the form of
opposition to abolitionism, coercion and
subjueation. 1t would not be safe to ex-
hibit it otherwise, for in that event the
individuals giving expression to it would
soon find themselves incarcerated within
the walls of some Yankee Bastile, and
their opposition thus speedily and eileotu
ally crushed out. But by protesting de
votion to the Union, the Constitution and
the Administration of Abraham Lincoln,
they can organize thoroughly for work, and
thus secure a way to triumph in the up

New York, Oct. "a.

The correspondent Of the Tribune,
writing from Bolivar Heights, 22d inst,
says more than one half of the army is un-
der command Of Maj. Gen. Burnside in
addition to his own corps. the 9th. The
commanders Of the I'd and 18th report to
him. The Cd. late Summers, is under
Maj. Gen. Couch. The 18th, Banks ,
was assigned, three days ago, to Maj. Gen.
Slocum; but while all these corps are un-
der Burnside. the three remaining ones
to the north and west of us, the 9Th, LIST
and 9th, are commanded respectively by
Fitz John Porter, Reynolds and Frank
lin, who continue to report directly to
Mcclellan.
The current belief that when the army
of the Potomac moves, it will be in two
bodies. one commanded by Burnside and
the other by Mcclellan one to take the
enemy in front, the other in flank, is
probably only an inference, drawn from
the arrangement.
