Increased Tax on Tobacco.

We publish, in another place in this
mornings issue, an article of much i'm
portAnce to large number of the farm
ers of Southern Indiana and Southwest
ern Kentucky-the Recommendation of
Commissioner Lewis of tax of from
five to ten cents per pound on manufae-
tured, and twenty cents per pound on
leaf tobacco. This subject vitality af-
fects the interests Of this portion of the
loyal States, and it becomes a question
of great Importance, when the tax shall
be collected, whether it shall be from the
producer, or from those holding it after
it has been sent to market
The general impression, as we learn,
among tobacco dealers East, is, that it
will be entirely impracticable to collect
the tax from the producer, as a great
majority of those who cultivate tobacco
would be totally unable to pay the tax,
which would be 800 per ton. The sub
ject has already greatly embarrassed the
tobacco trade in this region, as dealers
are unprepared to act advisedly in the
matter. ,a-trf
As many of our farmers are extensive
ly engaged in the cultivation of tobacco,
we invite their special attention to that
portion of the Commissioner report
which we publish. We will give some
attention to this subject in the future,
and will endeavor to keep our tobacco
growing readers advised on the subject.

What little news we received yesterday
is of encouraging Importance. The
Richmond correspondent of the London
Times admits that the blockade is ex-
of the Wilmington papers, and fully sus-
tains the statement of Admiral Lee. A
correspondent of. the same paper with
Bragg's army says a crisis is approach

tribute to the faith and selfreliance of
the North. This letter was written pri-

knight Township Aroused !

Editors Journal:
L was requested to visit Knight town
ship on Saturday, at l o'clock P. NJ, for
the purpose of making speech on the
war question. met the friends at the
school house near the Fickas place, and
the citizens subscribed nearly 500, and
paid down all but $40, to pay bounties to
volunteers to relieve them from the draft.
l swore into the service, on the spot, one
man, who will receive the Sl00 bounty
on Monday morning, provided he passes
the examination at the Provost MarshaPs
Office. Mr.. Moses Aiken, now a citizen
of this place, but who was late a resident
of Knight township, had already pledged
himself for $3.50 to parties who had vol
unteered in knight township, without
knowing what his old township would do.
He put down 800. Dan. Aiken, who is
not subject to draft, put down 800. o.
P. Aiken, who also is not subject to draft,
put down $l07.50 The rest was SUBJ
scribed in parcels of from s. to $50.
There were men who own no property,
who work for their daily subsistence, who
subscribed $40.
1 went by invitation to the Terry
school house, on the Newburgh road. and
spoke again, after night, to another por-
ton of the citizens of Knight township.
There were not so many present, but
! they gave quite as literally as their more
wealthy neighbors had done at the Flick
as school house, in proportion to their
wealth. They made up over $500, all to
be paid in on Monday The meeting
was enthusiastic, and unanimous in SEN
timent
The quota of this township will be
| filed by Monday. Among other things,
it was resolved to pay three soldiers, who
were patriotic enough to volunteer from
Knight township before any bounty was
appropriated, the same as those now GO
ing in. This, Messrs. Editors, is as it
should be. Knight township has set us
a glorious example. Can we not do like
wise in Pigeon township? l know our
township and city have poured out their
money, hitherto, like water. The Cres-
cent City has always stood pre-eminently
high. Why cannot we pay the bounties
appropriated to soldiers, when they pass
examination at the Provost Marshal's
Office? All other townships do this, as
far as have heard, in this and other
counties l have spent much time in
exerting myself to fill the quota of our
city; and 1 need not say that, directly
and indirectly, have received as many
men for Pigeon township "as any other
man."
The following is the roll of honor for
Knight township, showing what each
man subscribed to fill her quota:

shall cease, except the one hundred dollar bounty
provided for in the Act # Congress.
Letevery man, therefore, who thinks about vol

services needed, ard the liberal bounties
now paid, will so soon be stopped.
There are recruiting officers in the District from
almost every old regiment in the field, from this
part of the State, we'll now regiments form
ing, so that a man can have his own choice, as to
where he will enter the service. Besides all this,
