THE NEW STAMP DUTIES.

Yesterday the law i'm relation TO stamp duties
under the act for internal revenue, went into
operation. 1t Is n most important law, affect
every one dealing in bonds, mortgages, legal
writs, bank checks, policies of insurance, Gus
tom house papers, and other documents of
legal and business character. All these instru-
ments have to be stamped or they become null
and void, and Tor every stamp there Ii a speci-
fed price. These stamps will be supplied by
the Postmasters as wellas by the Internal Rev.
enue Collectors, ut Government prices, in
amounts NOT exceeding one hundred dollars.
A law like this, affecting SO many interests
and going into every individuals business,
will raise great many Questions difficnlt of
solution upon the nstant. Manyof these ques-
tons cannot be resolved in advance. but must
wait till they arise for proper Official solution
The law requires the following articles TO be
stamped: . .H
For a bank check or sight draft for an amount
Xceeding twenty dollars, two-cent stamp
VIII be required; for promissory note or
draft, (other than sIght,l stamps OF various
amounts, from five cents upw ards, are re.
Quired; a certificate ofstock in an incorporated
company, enty-tye cent stamp; a power Of
attorney, twenty-five cents; a passage ticket
10 a foreign port, fifty cents TO one dollar;
merchants ans shippers have 20 pay stamps
duiies OF from ten cents to one dollar on bills
OF lading, manifests for entry of clearance,
certificate Of damage, entry of goods AZ CUSTOM
house, &c; for protest of note or marine pro-
test, the stamp duty Is twenty-five cents, on a
lease, fifty cents TO one dollar; protest,
twenty-five cents; policy Of insurance on life
or property VIII have from twenty-five cents
10 one dollar added TO its cost in the way of
stamp; telegraphic dispatches are taxed from
one 10 three cents each; bonds and mortgages
have 10 be stamped according TO their amount,
the lowest denomination Of stamp for this pur-
pose being fifty cents; probate of will or letter
Of administration pays stamp duty OF fifty
cents upward, proportionate TO the amount in
volved; while an express company's or
common carriers" receipt is taxed from one
10 five cents.
There are heavy penalties for "making, sign
ing, or issuing any instrument, document, or
paper OF any kind whatsoever, without the
same being duly stamped" and the instrument
or paper becomes invalid and Of no effect from
the want of such a stamp. .ss-g

Evergreen Trees.

Evergreens are always in leaf, and il is.
therefore, important in planting TO secure a
quick action OF the roots in order TO sustain the
foliage. Early in the spring the ground is cold
and wet, and the roots cannot take hold: and
therefore sharp, drying winds are very likely
10 exhaust the tree Of all its juices before g new
supply can be furnished. Late fall planting is
still worse-for the roots remain dormant a
much longer time, and evaporation from the
leaves Is going on 10 soKe extent throughout
the winter. In May and June the ground
becomes warm-the roots are ready for action
and, consequently the time is favorable for
removal -l.
But the conditions are even more favorable
in August and September, At this season the
ground is thoroughly warmed through, and as
the nights begin 70 be cool and dewy, the earth
gives, as IL were, gentle bottom heat. Ii is
surprising 70 find with what readiness and
yigor the roots now act-often showing signs
Of growth within three days after planting
There is additional advantage over May, that
the trees has made all its growth for the eason,
and early mature its wood, 90 that IL il not in
need Of such a full flow Of sap as when the
young growth is starting, or is succulent and
the plant has need OF all It's energies During the
autumn months, the earth being warmer than
the atmosphere, while the wood is simply ma
turing not growing, the roots on the contrary
i'm vigorous action, and willius ure ufficient
streE 9Th TO resist the succeeding winter, and
also the best possible condition for subseQ uent
growth.-Ne1 England Farmer

uOn0ay.
SHARPSBURG, Sept. 3a-YesterCiay Colonel
Farnsworth's brigade of cavalry, accompanied
by Gibson's and Tidball's United States bat
terles, crossed the Potomac into Virginia below
Shepherdstown. The force reconnoitered the
country for distance of five or six miles from
the river, and discovered that the enemy still
holds his position in the vicinity of Winches-
ter. rr-
Major Madill. of the Sth Illinois cavalry with
three squadrons, took the road leading from
Shepherdstown 10 Martinsburg, and met one
regiment OF the enemy's cavalry four miles
from the former place. The enemy also had
two pieces OF artillery, and fired a few she'll
but without effect.
The Rebel videttes which were in Shepherds
town and along the road in the morning re-
tired as our cavalry advanced. -
Capt. Farnsworth, of the sth Illinois took the
road TO Winchester. In the houses along the
way he took prisoners over 20 of the enemy's
wounded-including Col Megill, of Georgia
all Of whom were paroled
- Shepherdstown, Gen. Pleasontonis Pro-
yost Marshal paroied nearly 400 rebel wounded
Our artillery was not brought into practice.
Gen. Griffin, with the I4th New York 62d Pa
Sod Massachusetts and I'd District of Columbia
Regiments, also crossed the river, and proceed
ed a mile and a half beyond. They took over
four wagons, which they brought in At night
loaded with forage. They also opicked up twen-
ty- Eve muskets. -
Itis believed that the enemy will net reap-
pear in Shepherdstown while our forces occupy
their present position opposite.
