BS MERCHAHTS' MEETIi6.-The meeting
ofmerchauts and shippers was held Satur-
day afternoon at 3 o'clock according to pre-
viOus announcement Or. T. H. Logan was
called to the chair, j B Sheppard appoint
ed Secretary.
Robert NOrrisou, of the firm ofList, Nor
riSOn Co., stated the object of the meet
ing to be the consideration and adoption of
some measure by which the onerous tax Inn
posed upon the trade of this city By the pre-
sent Permit system as nov in force might
be removed. Mr.. Morrison did not object
to the.system of Permits but 10 the manner
fits application. He did not believe that
the law required that because man bought
his goods of half dozen different rner-
chants he should be compelled to pay for as
many different Permits. He said that 20cts.
for permit seemed small thing at the
first glance and hardly worth the attention
ofbustaess men, but il was in fact heavy
burden upon and calculated TO break down
the business of the city. Taking fifty bu
siuess houses for example with an average
of Eve customers per day; this Permit tax
would amount TO fifteen thousand four hun
bred dollars per year. He said that as now
in force if man Rpurchasing his stock
bought single wooden bucket worth 25cts.
of one house he must psy 2octs. for per-
NIT to have 1t shipped. Mr.. Morrison then
read several sections from the late regula.
tions of the Secretary of the Treasury con-
corning Internal and coastwise intercourse
aud dated August 2sth 1852. he showed
that these regulations specially exempted
the city of Wheeling with several others,
and moreover that the regulations only ap-
piled to sections in rebellion or under the
control of insurgents, aud no wanted to
know upon what or whose representation
loyal Western Virginia becomes ehargeable
with being 10 state ofinsurreetton.
Mr.. Morrison wanted it perfectly under
stood that he deemed the permit system a
q wise precautionary measure on the part
otth Government, and of course tax was
necessary to deFray its expenses and thus
the Collector of Customs having eonsIdera-
BILE Discretionary power he could no: see
any reason why valuable precautionary
measure should be made burden upon
trade and a nuisance to the public.
After some further remarks, on motion a
committee consisting of Messrs. Morrison.
H. craugle and n. OFT was appointed to
consult with the Collector or to communi.
cato with the Secretary of the Treasury
upon the subject asking for such modifica-
tiou of the system as would render it less
burdensome to trade without in any way
Interfering with its effectiveness as a pre-
cautionary measure.

rY.-Oa last Thursday night nine horses
were taken from the premises of Leonard
Lamb, at Lambs mill. on and near the
mouth of Booths creek, some Eve miles up
the Monongahela river above Fairmont.
Five of them belonged TO j. O. Watson
of Fairmont, one to T. G. Watson, sane
place, two to Mr.. Lamb, and one "a very
fine animal) to John n Hall, living a mile
or two further up the river.
The i've belonging to Me- Watson had
been purchased The day before at Glnysville,
inTaylor county, an Lhad undoubtedly been
logged by the scouudrels from there TO the
place where they were stolen, as they had
mot been in the stable more than two hours
before they were missed. The one taken
from II. G. Watson had been sent to the
mil. aud kept over night. They are believ-
ed TO have been stolen by parties operating
in the interests of the rebel army, and were
taken of by sort of underground route
by which the rebels have been going back
aud forth at pleasure, leading up Booths
creek, running through Taylor, striking
an unfrequented mountain road in Preston
aud thence in'the direction of of ST. George
IN Tucker county. 1t was understood at
Grafton on Saturday morpiug that the
thieves had been discovered near Evans
vile, in Preston county, and were being
pursued.
The losing parties have offered reward
of$4Oo-s2oo for the recovery of the hor-
ses, and 5000 for the capture of the thieves.
This is not the arst of such operations In
that section. Something over year ago
twill be remembered. about dozen val
liable horses were stolen from that neigh
bOrhoOd, and run of beyond the ebellines.
