GEN. Pope has been relieved of his com.
mand at the Potomac, and placed in charge
OF the Northwestern army. He has already
gone 10 his new field of action. few more
such Generals as Pope and we would
not have one in Virginia. He is the man
our Abolition friends hold in such high es>
ieem. For every little turn or maneuvre
he makes with his army these aboltioniss
are ready to throw up their hats and shout
glory. There is nothing in him, and the
President has found it out at last, and is
acting accordingly. General Mcdowell is
another blood.sucker on the Government,
not worth picayune TO the Federal army.
He has been dismissed from his command
His bravery has been questioned for long
time, and at present it is pretty well un-
derstood that he is a coward. His qualifi-
cations for General, Otherwise are of the
first order. General Banks still holds his
position. He has done more than many
other Generals in the field and has been
praised less.

The President taking his seat made
few remarks, thanking the meeting for the
honor they had conferred upon him, besides
briefly stating The object of the meeting in
a very appropriate and becoming manner.
On motion, Col. L. L Tate was invited TO
address the meeting, The Colonel came
forward and spoke to the people al consid-
erabe length, and in such 4 manner as 10
command their whole and earnest attention.
His remarks were patriotic, national and
soundly Democratic, and were received
with rounds of applause.
Next, Thomas Chalfant was called upon
the stand, who addressed the audience in
an earnest and able speech, nearly an hours

iutional, aud Union loving Democrat, and
his speech, If published would well attest
10 this fact. The people of Green wood,
Pine, and surrounding townships, hold Mr..
Chaliant in high estimation a loyal man
and true patriot, notwithstanding The hard
names he is called by some of his Abolition
enemies in his own county as well as in
this His remarks at this meeting will
have good effect, and may he long live 10
oft repeat them.
Al the close of the speeches a patriotic
song was sung by two sons ci Tram Derr.-
It was well sung and received with ap-
plause.
Il would De no more than proper 10 state
that Hon. Paul Lsidy was advertised to
be present and speak at this meeting but
failed 10 reach the place on account of his
taking sick while on his road, after having
travelled some considerable distance, olher-
wise he most certainly would have been
present and spoke 10 the people
vote of thanks was given the speakers,
after which the meeting adjourned in good
order. Signed by the Officers.

Agreeably 10 public notice given By hand
bills, and through the different Democratic
papers in the county, there was a Demo
cratic Mass Meeting held al Serene, Colum
bia county, on Saturday, the 9Th day of Sep
!iember. 1862, which was largely attended.
The people began 10 gather about half past
eleven o'clock A. M and continued to pcur
N, in large delegations, until nearly 2 Nj.
They come in regular old>fashioned style ;
with four horse teams, rickory trees plant
ed upon the wagons, Stars and Stripes float
ing and Martial Music playing.
The Lairdsville Brass Band was present,
and was quite an acquisition 10 the meet-
ing. They enivened the occasion with
some of their besl pieces.
Among the first objects of attraction was
the appearance of Military Company,
well equipped, although rather fantaslical>
ly, and in drill not inferior 10 many on the
field OF battle. They were a good looking
company-ripe for the war. The company
on arriving at the spot selected for the hold
ing of the meeting, gave three cheers (that
would have done credit 10 whole Brieade)
for the "Constitution and the Union,n and
three cheers for the "Stars and Stripes"
This was the largest meeting we ever had
the pleasure of attending in This part of the
county. We fear we would moi be discharg-
ing our whole duty as Secretaries did we
not state the fact that this meeting was
honored with the presence OF large mum
ber of ladies', both old and young, all of
whom seemed TO manifest great interest in
the terrible state of our country, and exhib
tied much anxiety, as well as the men, to
hear talking on that point

Taxes ppm Newspapers.

1dACS pm w spuPCsSs
We exposed yesterday certain absur-
dities CT the tax bill which the Com
mittee Of Ways and Means have repor-
ted to the House at Washington. We
had not investigated, and telt in no
haste to investigate, the provisions Of
the bill especially affecting ourselves,
because it struck US that in respect 10 SO
universal an interest as newspapers the
committee had observed common fair
ness and justice and dcccncy in assess
ing the taxes. Some Of our cotempo-
rarics, however, have not been SO con-
tidng as ourselves, but have analysed
the bill as relating to themselves, one of
whose analysis is as follows:
"If 1t we've not for the imputation Of
speaking from motives of personal in.
terest we should object to some of the
various modes of taxing spapers pro.
posed by the bill. 1t is right that the
proprietors Of public journals should
bear their part in the general contribu-
ten to the needs of the treasury, but it
may be doubted whether it is good
policy to make newspapers dear, the
effect of which is to take them out of
the hands of the poorer class. BY the
effect OF the b..l the publisher Of news
paper is taxed on his income and IN
other acoys ike every body else. Then
come the taxes which bear particularly
on his vocation. He is taxed on the
paper he employs three mills pound,
Win II they say is about fifteen cents a
ream. He is next taxed three per cent.
IN tie rolue Of all tie neuspopers he
prints In the third place he Is taxed
tive per cent on all the money he re-
ceiyes for adcertisen ents. In the fourth
place he is charged duty Of three cents
on all messoges sent or received by tcle-
sraph IL tie fifth place he is required
10 pay tax OF three per cent. IN the
value ot the printers ilk used by HIM.
Here are five distinct waysin which the
publI. her Of newspaper, after pay ing
ms .topOrtion OF the general lakes like
other persons, is taxed on bis special
branch of business. We are not sue
that these are all, tor the tax bill is SUR
p,singy multiiarious, and We have not
had time to examine it as c!, sely as it
requires. We doubt whether any other
branch Of business is made to contribute
is SO many different ways and so large
y"
With morning papers the article OF
yasligft is no incoIsiderablc item; our
own gas bills are in the vicinity CT one
hundred dola,s per month and gas is
taxed heavily.
Without having critically examined
the bill, we venture tie assertion that
he taxes upon newspapers are vastly
heavier than upon any other interest
whatever.
Under their nficton one l-alf Of all
tic newspapers in the country could not
survive.
They would rot be in the nature OF
axes for revenue, but taxes for the sup
preston OF newspapers.
If the bill throughout is as crude ard
Il -contrived as in the two respects
which we have exposed, the committee
who have framed it had better suppress
their ban:ing as soon as possible, and
the whole scbject should be handed over
TO some other committee who have some
grains Of the commoncst sense. CHI
