The Tax BiIl--The Machinery of
Collection.

The New York Heral gives the fol-
lowing synopsis of the Machinery of col
lections under the new tax law passed By
Congress.
To carry the act into effect small ar
my of officers will be appointed, over
whom a commissioner on Internal Reye-
nue. is to be placed. The salary of this
official is fixed at $4,000 per annum -
The officers under his direction, and their
duties, will be, in brief, as follows, name-
ly:
First-A collector for each collection
district, to be appointed by the President,
with the consent of the Senate, whose
duties will be to collect for the Govern
ment the taxes to be paid in said district.
The compensation for his services is in the
form of commissions on the amounts
collected.
Second-An assessor for each assess
ment district, to be also appointed by the
President, whose duty it will be to fur
nish the collector with list Of the per-
sons to be taxed and the articles on which
the taxes are levied His salary is TO be
three dollars per diem when engaged in
preparations, and five dollars when asses
sing. He is also to receive commission
of one dollar for each hundred names on
the tax list.
Third Deputy collectors. Their du-
ties are to be to act as assistants
Fourtk-Assistant assessors to be ap-
pointed by assessors. Their salary is fix
ed at three dollars per day, in addition
to which they will receive the some com
mission as assessors.
Fyh-Inspectors Of liquors, etc, to be
appointed by collectors, whose duties
will be to measure and examine the proc f
Of liquors removed for sale, for which
they are to receive fees from the owners
thereof, the extent of which is TO be fixed
by the commissioner of Internal Reye-
nue..
Tie officers above classified are to car
ry into effect the provisions Of the bill.
and are to be held strictly accouu table for
their actions. Collectors through whose
hands must pass very large sums of mon
ey, will be required to give heavy bonds
for an honest performance oftheir duties.
In some districts it is probable that
bonds to the extent Of $500, 900 or $500,
600 will be required.

THE BEACON, OR LIGHTHOUSE.


Tho scene was more beautiful far to my eye,
Than If day in its pride had arrayd it;
The land breeze blew mild and the azure arch d sky
Look'd pure as the spirit that made it.
The murmur rose soft and silently gaz'd
On the shadowy waves playful motion.
From the dim distant isle till the beacon fire bazd
Like a star in the midst Of the ocean.
No longer the joy Of the sailor boJ's breast,
Was heard in his wildly broath'd numbers;
The sca-bird had flown to her wave CIR died nest,
The fisherman sunk to his slumocrs;
One moment ook'd from the hills gentle slope,
(All hush ID was the pillows commoton)
And thought that the beacon look'd lovely as hope,
That star Of lifes tremulous ocean.
The time is long past the scene is afar;
Yet when my head rests on its pillow,
viii mcmory sometimes rolinde the star
That blazcd on the breast Of the bilow.
In lifes closing hour, when the trembling soul dies
And death stills the hearts last emotion;
q! then may the scraph Of mercy arise
Like a star on cternity's ocean!

Christian called Onesimous, and conver.
ted him to Christianity.
Though he needed his services in his cap
tivity, he deemed It his duty to send him
back to his master with letter in which
he aid
perhaps he, therefore departed for a
reason, that thou should receive him for
ever; not as a servant, but above servant
a brother beloved. especially to me, but
now much more unto thee, both in the
flesh and in the Lord"
Now suppose Philemon had had a
thousand such servants, all members Of
his church, all contentod aud happy in
their gospel brotherhood with their mas
ter, and that some Beecher or Chceyer by
preaching the modern doctrine that sla-
very is a sin, had broken up this brother
hood and sent its happy members TO some
ancient Canada to live on husks like the
prodigal son, do you think Paul would
have recognized him as true Christian ?
He would have been more likely to de-
nOunce him as the "servant" Of him
who taught the happy inmates Of Para
disc that by eating the forbidden fruit
they would "become as gods, knowing
good and evil"
This letter is already so long that
must reserve some further views Of the
subject, with its practiced application,
for another communication.

--LoOk to your Congressional
EicctiJns!
The Congressional election Of 1862, is
hardly secondary, in the magnitude oil the
issues it Involves, to the Presidential
election OF 1860. This nation will not
survive repetition-now invited-of the
error of two years ago. Jacobinical, OIL
ultra Revolutionary elemen. III the North,
hitherto in some measure rcpressed. has
grown insolent with success, and arrogant
with power, and now disclaims any pur-
pose to restore the authority Of the Con-
stituton as it is, or to reinstate the Un-
ion as it was. 1t demands nothing less
than the emancipation of four hundred
millions of scmi-barbarous negro slaves,
who are invited to infest and backen ev
cry community of the North; to COM
pete with the white in his toll for bread ;
to Gil our jails with criminals, our poor.
houses with paupers, our streets with
vagaboni S, our lanes and alleys with
thieves--to produce, in the near feature,
a war of races, war Of determination,
a war whose horrors and atrocities must
equal ifnot excel those of any conflict re-
corded in human annals. This internal
influence is all but paramount in the ex-
listing Congress. 1t would, if it were not
afraid Of the temper of the people, beat
down all opposition, and pass sweep
ing act of emancipation before the close
of the present session. If the people
elect another Republican Congress, it will
be accepted and acted upon by the Radi
Gals, as full and unequivocal assent, on
their part of:their constituents, to their
tevlish designs. The election of a Dem,
ocratic Congress is all that can avert this
crowning woe from our PROSTATE and
bleeding country.
Let us not hear of conservative Re-
pvblicans." That delusion must be al
lowed to deceive us no more. Their is
and can be no such thing as Conservative
Republicanism. individuals there are
who vote with that party who would be
conservative if left to their own choice;
but, once in Office. the demoniac bowling,
the fendish threats and invective OF the
Abolition Jacobins, drive them to the
adoption of their most damnable meas.
ures. Let no man, then, be deceived
We must elect Democratic Congress,
or the once happy and prosperous State
of the North will be transformed into n
Pandemonium Of -crime-horror-
from which their will be no possible es-
cape, except through death or expatlia-
tion.
The columns of this paper through
many years, bear witness that-although
we have often warned the people-we
have never sounded Ease alarm. We
are not idly tampering with your appre-
tensions now The great danger is real
and iminent AS God lives, the woes
which we depict are impending and moth
