INTERESTING TO OWNERS OF BANK SrocK.
A cashier of one of the banks in Massachu-
setts recently addressed the Commissioner of
Internal Revenue, for decision npon por-
ton Of the SD Section of the Excise Tax
Law. 1t was the opinion of the cashier that
If bank declare dividend of four per cent.
1t must not pay that amount to the stockhold-
er, but must deduct three per cent. from the
dividend. Thus, If the dividend be four dol
lars per share on the par value of one hundred
dollars, the stockholder will receive but three
dollars and eighty-eight cents. The following
is the Commissioners answer:
"TREAsURY DEPARTMENT.
Office OF Internal Revenue, Sept 23d.
Sir Your letter of Sept. 10th has been re-
ceiyed. In reply, l would say:
Your construction of the SID Section of the
Tax Law is precisely correct If your bank
declares a dividend of ten thousand dollars.
you must withhold from the parties to whom
the dividend is payable three per cent. on that
sum, viz: three hundred dollars, and account
for 1t to the Commissioner of Internal Reye-
nue., as required in the law.
Very respectfully,
GEo. >. BOUTWELL,, Commissioner"

Brig. Gen. Lauman has added fresh laurels to
his brilliant fame acquired in the bloody fields
Of Belmont, Donelson and Shiloh. He was in

terrific fire during the continuance of the en-
gagement, prompting the brigade by his pre-
sence to daring deeds unsurpassed in the history
Of the war. His name il tower of strength
His praise is on the lips of all his men.

THE Army SIGNAL CoRPs.-A correspondent
of the Philadelphia Inquirer gives the following
respecting this important branch of the army:
The code of signals now in use was invented
by Major Myer, of the United States army, and
first used in New Mexico during the war with
the Indians. The corps now number upwards OF
three hundred officers and nine hundred men,
selected from different regiments of the volun.

in the service, and like engineers, form part
of the army staff corps. They are subject to
they frequently occupy very exposed positions.
The colors of the flags used are modified by
the nature of the background White with
black centre, and red with white centre, are
used against a dark background, and black with
white centre against clear sky. The signals
are made by rapid movements of the flags in dif-
ferent directions. They can be understood at
distance varying from five to twenty-five miles,
according to the atmosphere. At night flying
torch is substituted for the flag, and foot
light is placed at the feet of the signalman.
| The officers are furnished with powerful tele.
scopes and marine glasses, the excellence OF
which is celebrated through the army. The
corps being a mounted one, stations are estab-
| lished and changed with great rapidly. There
are stations of observations, intermediate sta.
tions, and beadquarter stations At the first

and reported At the second, messages impossi-

transmitted through to their destination For
example, General in valley wishing to send
orders to distant point in the same valley,
sends them first to mountain station. At the
bird, orders and intelligence are transmitted to
and from the respective Generals
The distance between stations is not often
more that six miles, though in some instances it
is much greater. Each signal officer has two
mounted fag-men, who make, under his direc-
tons, the signals. The station on Elk Mountain,
since the passage of the enemy over South
Mountain, has been one of the most important
As an illustration of the necessity OF the signal

BURLINGTON WEEKLY HAWK-EYE.
An Episode Of the war.

The following verses are from &n English
,urnal, depicting the sufferings among the
ctory operatives in the country for the want
cotton:
Dead-dead-dead!
Far better it should be so;
To lie In psuper's coffin there,
Than Sins temptation to know.
For @, my girl was bonny AMI fair,
But beauty's Q curse, you see,
When Hunger and Want, Disease and Care,
Such merciless tends can be.
It was for her sake, that day by day,
My heart grew heavy and sore;
Till hope itself seemed ebbing away
From my life's dark and sunless shore.
Dead-dead-dead!
She was starved to death I'ssy,
Because of the fierce and cruel strife
Mid our kinsmen far away.
Man, look on her face so worn and pale,
On her hands so white and thin;
Here was spirit that would not quail
From striving her bread to win
But yonder, closed is the factory gate,
The engine is red with rust;
And what could we do but starve and wait
Till peace should bring US crust
Dead-dead-dead!
With her brother lying i'll,
And her father shivering on the step
That leads to the silent mill
Alone kneel in my binding tears
Alone in my black despair
My heart o'erburdened with gloomy fears.
Yet far too bitter for prayer!
Why doyou pirate how the world still grows
More kind and more wise ea6h day.
Wars bloody fame still glitters and CLOVIS;
The olives Of peace decay
Dead-dead-dead!
Oh God that my curse should fall
On the heads Of those whose sel6ah aims
Have worked such woe for us all
Man, blame me not for my burning words,
Nor bid me these thoughts disclaim
For death has riven the silvery chords
That swelled through my anguished
frame.
True, am only woman, whose heart
Lies struck by q mortal blow:
But God, how keen is the bleeding smart,
A mother alone may know

NEW YORK ELECTIoN.-ln the course of an
article on State politics the New York Herald of
the 18th, withdraws the tory candidate for gov
ernor in the following graceful manner:
We therefore appeal tc Mr.. Seymour alone
to rise to the greatness of the occasion and give
to the country the convincing proof of his pat.
riotism by desisting from any further canvass.
allowing the election to go by default in favor
Of his opponent, and thus permitting the adj
ministration in power at Washington to have
full liberty to carry on and settle this war on
the best terms it can. In addition to all the
considerations already urged, but without wish
ing to appeal to mere selfish motives, we can
assure Mr.. Seymour that, from present indica,
tions, if he remains candidate, his defeat is
inevitable. He may carry New York city and
Albany and few interior towns but tine en-
tire State will certainly 60 against him. Pract-
ically, therefore, we only ask him to do now
what candidate often does during political
Observation-Disclosures his name from the bal
lot in favor of another person. Weare all one
great party for the Union now and will Mr..
Seymour refuse to do for his country what he
would do willingly for his political party? We
sincerely hope and trust not.
We wonder what is the color Of the cat under
that heap of meal?
