thousand volunteers from Indiana our
heartfelt Congratulations, and hail with
pride the fact that upon every battlefield
where Indianaians have been found they
have displayed the bravery of patriots In
defence of glorious cause; and we
pledge them that while they are sabda-

condemn at the .ballot-box all those in
our midst who are not Internationally

= Res We want it understood that in
anything we say about shipping goods
to Kentucky, we mean to apply our
remarks to no particular person, nor
do we mean to insinuate that any Of our
merchants are engaged in contraband
trade.
We believe it is bad policy to grant
permits to ship, to any part of Kentucky,
which is exposed to guerrilla raids, any
species of goods, whatever, that would
benei the rebels. While the officers Of
Government grant permits to ship, it Is
not to be expected that our merchants
will refuse to sell goods to Kentuckians
The fact that the men desiring to buy
may be good Union men, does not
mend the matter. elf the guerrillas find
full store belonging to good Unior

confscate them for the benefit Of The

WASHINGTON, September 80.
Arrangements have been made by which Dr.
j. w. Stone, U. S. Collector of Internal Reve-
nue. at Boston, will furnish the public general
ly, especially in New England, with revenue
or tax stamps, at the regular government rates
of discount, as rapidly as they can be manu-
factured or supplied, on reniittiinces to Boston
of treasury notes..
The following commissions, payable in
stamps, will be allowed: on purchases of $50
or more, per cent; of 500 or more, 3 per
cent; of $500 or more, 4per cent. ;ois1 600 or
more, per cent. in sending orders the public
should remember that by law every stamp ex-
presses on its face its kind as well rs its de-
nomination. Each stamp can be used for no
other purpose than that specified; thus check
stamps are for checks alone, contract stamps
for contracts only, and the person using such
stamp must deface ii by adding his initials.

DEATH OF GEN. NELSON.

CINCINNATI. Sept. 20.
The Gazette says gentleman reached Cow
ington yesterday, from the vicinity of Lexing
ton, and reports that there was great confia-
grafton in that city on Friday. The fire broke
out at Boards livery stable, at the corner of
Short and Limestone streets, destroying every
house on both sides Of the street, for two
squares north of Limestone street, including
the Bank OF Kentucky, Northern Bank, post
office, and Mr.. Walverton's fine residence and
livery stable. The origin of the fire is inl-
known.
The correspondent of the Gazette at Angus
ia, Ky, says that place was attacked by $40
rebels, and two cannon, under command Of
brother of John Morgan. The Union forces
under Col. Bradford, numbering 120, took
refuge in the houses, and fired from the win
dows, killing and wounding 80 men. Among
the killed were three captains, one of them a
younger brother of Morgan. Among the NOR
tally wounded was Lieut.. Col. Prentice, son of
Geo. ID. Prentice. The rebels were so exas-
perated at their loss, they set fire TO the
houses, and two squares of the town were
burned. Our loss was Q killed and Is wound
ed The balance OF our forces were taken
prisoLers. Subsequently Union force from
Maysville Intercepted and attacked the rebels,
when they fed in panic. The result of the
pursuit was not learned.
The Louisville correspondent of the Times
says Gen. Davis went into the Gait House at
half past eight this morning, where he met
Gen. Nelson, and referred to the insulting
treatment he had received at his hands, in or
dering him to Cincinnati. Gen. Nelson cursed
him in the most Infamous manner. and struck
him in the face several times, and then retired
few PAGES. Davis borrowed pistol from a
friend, advanced upon Nelson, who by this
time had gained the stairway, directly up to
him, and fired. Every body who witnessed
the affair justifies Davis.

The Richmond Dispatch of Sept. 9th, says
that about two weeks ago five men were ar
rested from boat in Mobile, on suspicion of
attempting to escape to New Orleans. They
were subsequently sent to prison in Mobile
Upon searching them there were found charts
and plans of the defences ol Mobile. One of
them, DIR. Marins Louis RossvilIey, of New
Orleans, where has a wife and children, has
been hanged, but whether by military or civil
authority is not ascertained.
The despatch also says, our army is daily in
creasing by accessions of stragglers and con-
scripts.
Whatever may be the intended movements
OF Gen. Lee, he is pesfectly successful in keep
ing them concealed; what is concealed from
our people finds little chance of making its

On Thursday night 81 Yankee prisoners ar
rived from Gordonsville, including several sur
geons and nurses.
The Despatch also mentions the fact that
Abraham Lincoln has issued proclamation
to liberate the slaves, but makes no further
comment on the subject
The same paper also states that yankee
cavalry force visited Warrenton Junction.
Thursday last, where a number of wounded
were left after the battle of Manassas 1t con-
lectures that the yankees intend to make a
raid on that place to take prisoners those who,
from their wounds are unable to defend them
selves.
The Despatch also contains an item from
Texas paper, dated Sept. Sd. which saws that
Gen. Sam Houston is alive and well and living
on his old homestead
The Despatch advises the appointment of
reliable brigade in the service to prevent
struggling from the Confederate army
The Richmond Examiner of the 27th saws
that the public highways in the valley of vir-
ginia, from Winchester TO Staunton. are crowd
ed with suffering and wounded soldiers, who
were in the fight Of Sunday, Monday and
Tuesday, and especially in the terrible fight
of Wednesday of last week. They left the
battlefield for home or the hospital and were
too weak TO proceed, and had no money to
procure their passage.

MoRrAR FOR BUILDING.-In common prac-
tlce, the cohesion of mortar is greatly impaired
by using too large portion of sand il should
never exceed two parts by measure to one of
lime paste. A cask of lime weighing two
huudred and eighty pounds, made into eight
cubic feet OF lime paste, should be mixed with
sixteen bushels of damp sand. The notion
used to be generally entertained that the
longer lime was Stacked before it was used. the
better would be the mortar made of it,
Ihls, however, Is not the case with our COM
mon fat lime and sand mortars The sand
should be mixed with the Stacked lime as soon
as the latter becomes cold, and no more water
should be employed than will reduce the lime
to thick paste. In preparing mortar the un-
Stacked lime should be placed on boards and
sheltered from the sun and rain; 1t should be
open above and surrounded with some sand.
Ihe water necessary to slake lime should be
poured upon it with any suitable vessel, and
care should be taken to stir the lime so as to
bring the water into contact with every por-
tion, when it may be left until all the yapor
has passed Off,
The sand may now be Incorporated with the
lime by means of hoe or a shovel; and, If
necessary, little water may be added to pro-
duce homogeneous, consistent paste, when it
is ready for use. Sand from the sea-shore
should never be employed for making mortar
without being first washed with fresh water,
because the salt left in such sand is liable to
absorb moisture and prevent the mortar be-
coming hard.
In putting up walls of brick or stone, care
should be taken that the stones or bricks be
moistened before they come in contact with
the mortar. Every brick and stone should be
laid in good bed Of mortar, and should re-
ceive blow to fix it firmly. The bricks
should not be laid merely, as is the common
custom, but forced down as to press the NOR
tar into all the pores and crevices. The super
intendent OF building should give his person.
al attention to the vertical joints in the walls,
as the masons frequently neglect TO I'LL them

Stamp Duties.

As the despatch from Washington, relating
to stamp duties, published in our issue of yes
terday, has created some little excitement. and
as the public, generally, do not seem to under
stand the exact nature of the acts passed in
relation to that matter, we give below the sec
ton from the excise tax act upon that subject.
Section 95 of the act approved July 1, 1862.
provides: That if any person or persons shall
make, sign, or issue, or cause to be made, sign
ed, or issued, any instrument, document, or
paper OF any kind or description whatsoever,
without the same being duly stamped for de-
noting the duty hereby imposed thereon. or
without having thcreupon an adhesive stamp
TO denote said duty, such person or persons
shall incur penalty of fifty dollars, nd such
instrument, document or paper, as aforesaid.
shall be deemed invalid and of no effect
An amendment to this act was approved
July IA, 1862, as follows:
Sec. 70. 1nd be 10 further enacted, That the
95th section of the act entitled "An act TO pro-
vide internal revenue to support the govern
ment and pay interest on the public debt" an
proved July |, 1862, be so amended that no
Instrument, document, or paper, made, signed,
or issued prior to the list day of January. lS63
without being duly stamped or having thereon
an adhesive stamp to denote the duty imposed
thereon. shall for that cause be deemed invalid
and of no effect: Provided, horerer, that no
such instrument, document. or paper shall be
admitted or used as evidence in any court un-
til the same shall have been duly stamped, nor
untl the holder thereof shall have proved TO
the satisfaction of the court that he has paid
10 ine collector or deputy collector of the dis
rict within which such court may be held, the
sum OF hve dollars for the use of the United
States. t ~
we are informed that Mr.. Miller, the col
iector for this district, has sent to Washington
Tor the requisite stamps, and that he expects TO
DC supphed with them at an early period next
month. Notice will be given by Mr.. Miller,
through the papers, when he shall have receiy-
ed these stamps.
