Starke County Union Resolutions.

The following are the preamble and res
olutions adopted by the Union men Of
S,arke county, on the 7th ult., which Der
ry of the Press attacked so enormously
in his issue of the Goth, and which our
correspondent. "a USIoNIsr, has SO sue
ccssfully replied to:
WHEREAS, The government of the o. s. is enga-
ged in a civil war on gigantic scale, and is now
in need of the united support o: all her patriotic
sons; AND WHEREAS, wa believe that party strife
tends TO weaken the councils Of our nation; AND
WHEREAS, our nci. bors and friends, without dis
tinction of party fighting the battles Of tie
ton, therefore be it
Resolred, That we strike from the call for the
Convention the word Republican, and substitute in
its place that of Union, urging upon all patriots the
necessity of uniting at home at the ballot box as
they have around the banner of our country. with
out distinction of party, and support untedly our
country in this her hour Of need.
Resotued, That we heartily endorse the admins
traton for the promptncss with which it has met
the emergencies of the times, and for the energy
with which it has prosecuted this war for the sup
pr ession of this unnatural aud nncaed for rebell-
ion, and that plsdse is our support.
Resoiued That we endorse the course pursued
in knowing that he is universally acknowledged as
the first and best governor in the Union; and that
rs he has our confidence so shall he have our sup
port and assistance in his philanhropic endeavor to
render as comfortable as possible the sick and dis
abled soldiers of our State.
Resoircd, That we will forget past party differ
enccs and seek only for Union men with Union
principles; that will first endeavor to restore to
the Union peace and then. when the ship OF State
is safely anchored and there are no more breakers
dashing against her sides. il fit to return to
our former party organization we will do so. But
now in the hour of peril we deem that man not
worthy home in free land that will notalnitc in
the effort TO maintain his country rather than his
party.
Resolred, That every patriot, Of whatever party,
or whatever may have been his former political
faith. is, if ne is good Union man, invited to
unite with in support Of oar government and the
overthrow of rebellion.

Officers Under the New Tax Bill.

An analysis Of the new tax bill shows
that the offices under it will not be as
lucrative as has been generally suppos-
ed.
One assessor and collector are to be ap-
pointed for each congressional district by
the President. by and with the advice, land
consent of the Senate. They appoint their
deputies for the various counties of thei.
district. the members Of Congress having
nothing to do with il at all; and will be
controlled in their selections. we suppose
by qualifications, and the manifestations
of public opinion Of the various locali-
ties.
The pay of the district assessor is three
dollars per day. except when hearing ap-
pesls. when the pay is five dollars per day
lie receives also in addition one dollar foI
every hundred names on the duplicate he
prepares and delivers to the district col
lector.
The district collector receives four pei
cent. on the first 500. 900 collected in his
district. and two per cent. on all over that
amount. There is q maximum. that nc
collector shall receive over $4,000 fol
himself and oil his deputies in any district
But. in our Western rural districts. there
being no taxes on lands or town lots. OF
houses. or cattle. or grain, or incomes less
than 5000 per year. there is not much pro.
liability that the aggregate fees of col.
lector and his deputies will amount to
anything like that sum.
The district collector is responsible on
his bond for all Of his deputies. and makes
such arrangements as to compensation
with them as he pleases. II is quito evil
dent from the bill. that he cannot allow
them over two per cent. on what they COL
lect; as that would leave him for his re-
sponsibility and labor. just $4,000 il
500. 900 were collected in the district.
and no more il million were collected.
The deputy assessors receive three dol
lars per day for the time actually employ
ed in assessing. and one dollar per hun
dred names for the tax payers entered on
their duplicate. How long time will be
required to assess an average county. we
cannot now estimate. Where large ma
jority Of the people viii have nothing to
pay, as 10 the West. il will take less time
proportionately. In manufacturing and
commercial localities, longer time will be
required.
The Commissioners of Internal Revenue
is to lay down the rules under which the
assessment and collection were to be made,
and will Of course require the former to be
completed as promptly as possible that the
collection may commences. From ell
which. we infer that none of the officers
will be likely 70 get very rich out Of their

description OF the Twentienth which we fiud
in the New York Tribune:
Soon word came that the rebels wert

As the 10Th Indiana advanced, the S7th
became sharply engaged with the enemy.
and Gen. Robinson ordered our boys Ia
cheer, which was taken by them for an or.

did. scattering the rebels like chaff: bul

exceedingly busy. and our wounded have

MUNSoN'S
Copper Tubular Lightning Red
SPIRAL FLANGES.

Munson's rod is the most complete protection
against disaster by lightning ever invented. Its
chief points of superiority, are:
It's Great Conducting P0weF.-Copper is
the best conductor of Electricity known, except
silver. Ii is eight times greater than iron.
Its Tubular Spiral Shape.--This form
gives the greatest strength at the smallest possible
cost. 1t is the shape of the "Fulgarite," the Wit
riied tube formed by electricity when striking up
on sand, thus indicating the form required. II is
better than solid copper rod four inches in cir
conference, and its cost is not quarter as much
as such rod would be.
Its Great Amount Of Surface.-The sur
face only of conductor is used by electricity
iron rod. and being times better conducting met
al, it follows that this rod is equal to twenty iron
rods IN their best condition, while its peculiar shape
adds so per cent. at least, to this estimate.
IL Does not Rust.-Copper will not. rust,
but will always retain its power OF conductiOn,
while an iron rod soon rusts and then not only
looses its usefulness, but becomes absolutely dan
gerous.
It's Perfect Joints.-The manner of con-
Quoting the joints is such that perfect continuity is
formed from one and to the other. lion rods are
connected 10y nuts, that in many cases are mper-
feet when first put on, and the best of them be
disconnected by the action of the wind and oIyda-
ten, in a short time.
Its Gold Plated Point.-The point, besides
reaching upward has four prongs, all of which arc
sharp and bright, so rs TO receive the electrical
current from any direction. 1t is of solid copper,
and plated with pure gold.
Its Dnrnbility.-This rod will remain good
protection against the disasters by lightning,
long the building endure. upon which it is erect
