REYENuE SrAMps.-Tha imnression

REVENUE STAMPs.-The impression
has gone abroad that the law, with refer
ence to the Internal Revenue Stamps,
will not be enforced until the first of jan
uary. This is mistake. All penalties for
uon-use of these stamps are now in force,
aud they will be rigidly enforced as fast
as the various stamps are issued. The
Commissioner has made decision rela-
tive to tax stamps on checks, drafts, notes,
&c. It is of interest to every business
man, and is as follows:
WAsHISGroN, Oct. %, l8G2.-I would say,
that when maker of check, draft, note, or
any other document, shall neglect to put on
the required stamp, it will not do for the party
receiving the same to affix the stamp and cam
eel it, but it must be returned to the maker
for him to do it.

EzIg> We are informed that many of tie
n4dn who were drafted in this county have
u4t yet reported themselves to the proper
officer. Much curiosity is evinced to
kbPw the penalties under State and Ma
tl3hal laws for refusing to serve when
dfitted The draft is enforced under an
act Of Congress of July II, 1862, which
prdvides among other things, that "the
PrfSj6ent Is authorized to make aHneces-
sa'W ruies and regulations i'll cases where
State laws are defective as to the enrol
meht or execution of the draft. An act
of assembly of Pennsylvania, passed in
1872, (65 section, April 2d,) provides as
follows =
Each and every \ private of the
militia who shall have neglected or refused to
serve when called into active service in pur-
Suahce OF an order or requisition of the Pres
iieft of the United States, shall be liable to
thepenalties defined in the act of Congress of
February 28th, 1895, or any other acts that
may thereafter be passed.
On reference to the act of Congress re-.
ferred to, it will be found to embrace the
following points =
i'Eyery officer, non-commissioned officer, or
private of the militia who shall fail to obev
the orders of the President of the United
States shall forfeit sum not ex
cefding one years pay, and not less than one
months pay, to be determined and adjudged
by a court-martial k and such nom
com missioned officers and privates shall be
liable to be imprisoned by a like Sentence IN
failure of payment of the fines adjudged
against them, for one calender month for ey-
cry FIVE dollars of such fine"
1t has been decided by the Supreme
Court of this State that those who disobey
the requisition are not employed in the
service SO as to be liable to the articles
of war, but that they are liable to be
tried by court MARTIAL under the above
act. Such oourt-martial must be consti-
tutdd under the authority Of the United

Esg The Hughes-ites in PENNSYLVANIA

B@The Hughes-ites in Pennsylvania
are already beginning to fear the boiling of
some true men from their traitor party
they threaten death, worse than the Eng
lish punishment for treason, and say that
it were better for them that "mil-stone
were hanged about their necks and they
were cast into the depths of the sea. y
r'Tho wicked fee when no man pursu-
eth" Convinced of their own rottenne.s
the leaders fear that their followers may
detect it and thus defeat their pretty plans
for embarrassing the government. "There
is many slip 'twixt the cup and the lip"
Frank Hughes may be United States
Senator and, he may not. There exists
a possibility that some one else may claim
that position. We advise Frank to work
hard against this possibility. Remember
Vallaudigham's fate! Buckle on your
armor, but threaten not drunken men
and fools quite often run their necks into
the very moose they most industriously
sought to avoid.

every ignoralnus in the country, has just
been shown how he is loved by those who
know him best the op-
position Of the family who "make and
break men" On the evening of the 1st
inst. sword was presented to him by the
Germans of ST. Louis The procession,
attending the presentation, was one mile
long. with the streets densely crowded
along the route. Transparencies were
exhibited whose Inscriptions plainly told
the story of the peoples love for the great
and neble-hearted Pathfinder. The sword
was mouEted with gold and cost $1,000.
The ladies at the same time presented
him with a sash of white silk, one end of
which was studded with thirty-four stars
in gold, below the stars which were clus-
tered in the form of shield were the
words: "UDited and Free" "To the
patriot, John c. Fremont, from the La
dies of St. Louis" Three days after the
election occurred, when the Blair family,
who were instrumental in Fremont's re-
rnoval from the Western Department were
defeated by the friends Of the Free-Gen-
qral, and Knox, Radical Republican, beats
Blair, jr., Anti-Fremont Republican.
