THE WASTE OF WAR.

The Pension office at Washington has lately
recorded the nineteen Mousandh application of
wives made widows by this war between the
Northern and Southern States.
What a shocking proof is this of the awful
work of war Nineteen thousand wives made
widows by these battles during the last twenty
four months and this number, frightful as It's,
is far from complete, while it only represents
one side in the fratricidal strife; there are at
least as many more desolate homes in the South.
The whole number of those who have been made
widows by this sectional contest certainly can
not be less than 100000. 1t is an appalling
thought; but this number falls far, far short of
the actual loss Of life that has been occasioned
thus far Multiplication of these figures must
be resorted to, if the whole extent of the NOR
tality alone Is to be arrived at. 1t is estimated
that the total casualties number nearly mil
lion.
Has the sun ever shone on a scene so sad, so
terrible, in all earths circling seasons, as that
which our planet has presented, in this once
happiest country on its surface, during its two
last annual Journeys in its orbit! ~
The evils resulting from the injuries suffered
by hundreds of MANNED and crippled men; from
the unloosing of the foodgates of vice and i'm
morality, which must always necessarily occur
to some extent in time of war, bat never to
such degree as in civil war; the blow that
has been inflicted upon the great material inter-
ests of the country; the suffering in other lands;
and the extent to which the worlds progress
has been retarded, if not actually reserved, by
this lamentable contest, cannot, of course, now
be correctly estimated.
How strange it is, that ere our peace was yet
broken, men were found, on both sides, who
were jealous for the accomplishment of every
thing that made for ,oar.--Hartford Times.

FRIEND MEYERS:
I notice in yesterdays Inquirer an
article headed: ''The curseef. .partH" This
is a aconfession. The curse now resting up
on the party in power is a great bprfhA TO
us all. But it appears to me thss the atl-
thor wants to produce an effect that he darea
not express, namely: Democrats should na
longer regard party obligations, but vote
with what he styles the Union party. A
bout here we have no such Democrats. We
all know that their sham Union party is
nothing more ror less than the Abolition
party, dressed up, spread out and fed by
Government patronage-by your taxes and
mine.
The fact of seeing two Or three such ar
ticles lately makes me think that there might
be some Democrats in market; but can't
think that we have any intelligent Demo-
Gratis who are so short-sighted; for, woe be-
tide that Democrat who now fails to do his
whole duty. The cry of Union party by
the Abolitionists, is foul sham-another
gull-trap The people in the country can
think as well as the people in town, and the
leaders of the Abolition party in Bedford,
may as well quit; for the people are tired
of them and won't be deceived by them any
longer. 1t used to be ''the blind leading
the blind" but those who lead have stum-
bled so often and blundered so much that
the people are going to take their own course.
If there be any men in our party who are
for sale, or who carry water on both shoul-
ders, we want you to name them out In your
paper, whenever and wherever found. We
want to clay out" all such fellows, if there
are any, and be done with them. We can
do without them and now is good time to
get rid of them. We feel that the only safe
ty for this Republic is in the Democratic
party. The history of the last sixty years
If not of the last two alone-establishes
this, and the sooner and more decidedly we
put down the ruinous party now in power
the better. He who can't go into this work
with his whole heart, is no good citizen
certainly no Democrat has no busi-
ness in the ranks. The Union party dodge
is "played out"-the humbug is too trans
parent and the Abolitionists must get Ii
on's skin of another color to cover the car
cass of the Abolition ass.

THE INCOME TAX.

The income tax imposed by the act of Con-
gress is about to be assessed, and becomes due
and payable on or before the 30th of this month
June All incomes not exceeding 5000 are
exempt from the tax. The following article
from an exchange will explain several impor-
tant provisions of the law. The income tax is
imposed upon a certain proportion of the in
come of these two classes, viz:
l. Every person in the United States, and
every citizen residing abroad who is in the en-
ployment of the government of the u. States.
2. Every citizen of the United States resid-
ing abroad, and not in the employment of the
government of the United States.
Every person in the first class wll.be taxed
at the rate of three per cent. when his or hel
annual gains, profits or income exceed 500.
and $4,000.
Every person in the first class will be taxed
at the rate of five per cent. when the annual
gains, profits or income exceed $4,000, after
the following deductions are made from the gross
amounts returned:
l. The 5000 allowed by law.
2. Other national, State and local taxes as
sessed for 1862, and paid.
3. Rent annually paid for the dwelling house
or estate occupied as the residence OF the per-
son assessed.
A. Necessary repairs to property yielding the
income, or insurance thereon; or pay for hired
laborers, and their subsistence, employed in con-
ducting his business; or interest on incumbran-
ces upon the property; or all, as the case may
be.
Every person in the second class will be tax
ed at the rate of five per cent. whatever may
be his or her annual gains, profits, or income
from property, securities, and stocks owned in
the United States, without other deduction than
numbers and above stated.
Whenever the taxable income of resident
in the United States, ascertained as above, ex-
cceds $4,000, and upon a portion of said a
mount three per cent. has been withheld by the
officers of companies, corporations and associa-
tions, from interest or dividends therein due
him, such income will be subject to a tax OF 2
per cent additional upon so much thereof as
may have been previously subjected to duty
of three per cent. by the officers of the compa-
nies, corporations OF associations aforesaid
But in no case, whether person is subject
to tax of three or five per cent. is higher
rate of tax than l. per cent. to be collected
from that portion of income derived from inter-
est upon notes, bonds, or other securities OF the
United States.
Where husband and wife live together, and
their taxable income is in excess of $500, they
will be entitled to but one deduction of $500,
that being the average fixed by law as an esti.
mated communication for the expense of maintain
ing family. Where they live apart, by di-
vorce or under contract of separation, they will
be taxed separately, and be each entitled to a
deduction of 5000.

What Constitutes a True Democrat.

What Constitutes True Democrat.
Mr. EpIToR:-Will you allow me small
space in your columns to define what, in my
Judgment, are few of the characteristics of "a
true Democrat?
l. The political creed of a true Democrat is
founded upon the doctrines OF Jefferson and OF
Jackson, which, embraced among other things,
an acknowledgment of the capacity of the peo-
ple for self-government, civil and religious lib
erty, and strict Interpretation of the Consti-
tuition.
2. A true Democrat has an abiding faith in
the ability and disposition of his party when in
power, to manage successfully our domestic and
foreign relations, to administer justice to all In
terests and all sections, and to infusc spirit OF
economy and enforce rigid accountability In
all the departments of the government.
3. A true Democrat is always ready manful-
ly to defend the measures and policy of his par
ty when unjustly assailed or misrepresented by
its enemies, and when an error, in his opinion,
has been committed, to frankly acknowledge 1t,
as he is not foolish enough to claim infallibllity
for anything human.
4. A true Democrat never has recourse to
the lies and calumnies of a pensioned and prof
igate opposition press for missiles to hurl at the
heads of those whom his own vote.has helped
to put into high positions, and thus injure and
demoralize his own party.
5. A true Democrat never permits his per-
sonal disappointments to interfere with his po-
litcal fealty and if he has failed in his appli-
cation for office, he consoles himself with the
hope that better man has been selected to fill
| the place.
6. A true Democrat may be opposed to slave
ry in the abstract; but believing this Govern
ment was created By and for white men, he is
not willing to sacrifice the great interests OF
twenty-five millions of the Caucasian race for
the sake of the ''nigger," by engaging in sense
less Abolition crusade against the South, which
must, if not promptly arrested, terminate IN the
disruption Of the Union.
Z. A true Democrat makes it his business to
attend and participate in all the primary meet
ings of his party, to the end that good and faith
! ful men may be chosen to fill the various Offices

Children o,ce mach of their Sickness to Colds
No matter where the disease may appear to be seat
ed origin may be traced to suppressed perspiraton
or Cold. Cramps and Lung Complaints are dl-
rect products of Colds In short Colds are the har-
bingers Of half the diseases that afiict humanity,
for as they caused by checked perspiraton, and
as ve- eights of the waste matter of the body es-
capes through the pores, if these pores are closed,
that portion of diseases necessarily follows. Keep
clear, therefore, of Colds and Coughs, the great
precursors of disease, if contracted, break them
up Immediately, by timely use of Madame POr-
ter's Curative Balsam S,ld by all Druggists, at 13
cents and c5 cents per bottle.

8. A true Democrat always attends the cleo
ton and deposits his vote, conscious OF the saw
ing influence of the right of ballot, and believ-
ing, with Jefferson, that ''the price of liberty is
eternal vigilance"
9. And finally, true Democrat entertains a
s'religious hatred" of all trading and huckster-
ing politicians, and all political guerlllas and
renegades, who "sell their brthright for mess
