NORTHERN TOADYISM.

affairs little Of a treaty Of al
lance between the Confederate and
North Western States-but the sem
sationists are nevertheless not idle.
We have now sallandigham and New
York peace meetings. Our imaglna-

poets indicated by the assembly to-

In our ears the name of Mr.. Valland-

stantly drunlmed, and we arc assured
By all the weak kneed and Anticipated
newspaper men and politicians that

SOMETHING. One would naturally
suppose that Nj. VS.. SOMETHING could
have been more reasonably expected
to be accomplished by him in Ohio,
than in Virginia In the former State
Mr.. v had some friends, personal and
political-had the credit Of having i'm

the people-in the latter he can have
neither influence or position, indeed,
if MI. v is to accomplish ANYTHING
in Virginia It can only be to awaken

some land amongst the number Mr..

pie.
We see nothing to cheer US in the
peace meetings. We are disguised
with the toadyism Of some and the
ridiculous folly and twaddle we see al
most daily in the newspapers in refer
ence to Mr.. Vallandigham. But the
age Of humbug is not over The SEN
sationists and men who button hole
passengers on the arrival Of every
train must have tomething to do, but
above all something to talk about.
TAXIN KIND.
We see from a notice lately pub
lished by the Assistant @. NJ. Gen.
that the following is the system which
has been adopted for the collection Of
the tax in kind.
A controlling Quartermaster is as
signed to each State and Post Quar-
termaster to each Congressional Dis
trict. The Post Quartermaster will
subdivide the congressional district
into sections convenient for the deliv-
cry of their quotas Of produce by the
taxpayers and appoint agents to take
charge Of depots to be established in
these sections for the reception Of the
tax Before the assessments can be
made under the law and the depots
can be established some OF the crops
will have Been gathered To prevent
unnecessary inconvenience and even
risk to the farmer in storing the Gov
eminent portion and to OBTAIN MIME
date SUPPLIES for the army, it is re-
quested that farmers, residing near
posts at which Quartermasters are
stationed, deliver the Governments
tenth or any part of it to that Quar-
termaster, and as the law only requires
the delivery Of the tenth not more
than eight miles from the place of pro-
duction, if the farmer will deliver I'M
der this request he will be paid for
the transportation in excess of eight
miles. The Quarterlnaster's receipt
for produce will be evidence to the
collectors that SO much Of the tax is
paid. BY this arrangement our far
mers can with less trouble deliver
their tenth and the Government being
an earlier recipient of it will be bene-
fitted thereby.
