Appeal for the Nations
Defenders.


TO the Ministers and Churches through
ont the loyal States
The President has invited the obser-'
vance of Thursday, the 26th day Of.
November as day of thanksgiving to
God for the mcrcies Of the year.
Among the greatest of these mercies
are the abundance bestowed upon us
at homo, and the snccess vouch-safed
in the field.
The United States Christian Com
mission as great natural agency be-
tween the home and the field, appeal
to you in behalf of our country's de-
tenders, for Thanksgiving Day collec-
tions, Contributions Of clothing and
comforts, as well as Of money are
needed.
Aware of the excellent custom in
many of the Churches Of making col
lections for the poor, on that day, the
Commission would not make this ap-
peal but for the urgent necessity of
caring for the soldiers. The poor we
have always with us, but the opportu-
nifty of benefitting the men under arms
if put off now, will be lost forever.
Such churches as may not hold SER
vice Thanksgiving Day, are requested
to take the best opportunity before or
after that day to present the matter
and gather the contributions o the
people. Some churches are without
ministers to stir up their pure minds
by way Of remembrance. In these,
let the officers or some friend of the
cause take it in hand. Let no church
fail of giving its contributions. The
urgencc is great The call is instant.
The yTant is immense. A million of
men in hospital, in camp, and on ship
board, wait in perishing need The
encouragement to give is wonderful.
From every field our delegates return
ing tell us of their glad welcomes of
sufferings relieved, lives saved, and
souls converted to God. Never waS
there such u harvest ofercd to the church.
The commission, at its late general
meeting, felt copstrained to devise
plans for charging its work. Meas,
ures have been vigorously entered up
on by which, if the source of supply
does not fail, the mcn at the front in
every department of the vast field of
conflict, ard those in every hospital
and camp Of the army and navy, will
be reached.
Fill up the fountain. Flood the en-.
inrgod channels. Send US liberal, no.
BILE thanksgiving remcn,OrO~ooe for
the absent, brave, suffering ones. We
will convey them, nothing diminished
and bring back their glad and CRATE
tul blessings to you,

The Income Tax-Important Decision


The following circular letter to col
lectcrs concerning the collection Of the
income tax has just been issued:
"TREAsURY DEPARTMENT, !
OFFICE OF INTERNAL REVENUE,
WASHINGTON, Nov. 2, 1863.
"On q more mature consideration
than has heretofore been given to the
ninety second section Of the act of July
|, 1862, it is held that the provisions
Of that section relative to the issue Of
warrant from this Office are intended
to apply to those cases only where the
taxpayer may have so disposed of all
his property that the tax cannot be col,
Iected without following such property
in the hands of whomsoever it may be
found, through an enforcement Of the
lien which is created in favor Of the
Government.
"Section 92 provides no means for
the collection Of th1 tax in cases where
the income on which the tax is assess
ed accrued from professional services,
from spcculations, or in any other man
ner than from fixed investments. If
the tax could be collected in any other
way than that provided in this section
it might frequently be necessary to
levy upon property in the hands Of an
innocent purchaser, while the delin-
quent taxpayer is himself in possession
of property which is amply sufficient
to meet the amount Of the tax, but
from which no interest accrued to him
during the previous year.
"Iti is provided in section 10, that if
the annual and other duties shall not
be paid within ten days from and af-
ter demand therefor, it shall be lawful
for the Collector or his deputies to pro-
ceed to collect the said duties or tax by
distraint and sale of goods, chattlcs or
effects of the persons delinquent. This
provision is general one, and may be
applied to the collection Of the income
tax without any conflict with the pro-
visions Of section 81.
I'm all cases OF neglect to make pay
ment within the specified time, where
the delinquentis is possessed of sufficient
property other than that exempt from
distraint, the Collector will therefore
proceed to collect the tax in the man
ner pointed cut in section 10,
"The penalty for neglect to make
payment within the specified time is
fixed by section 92 at five per centum
provided in section 10 cannot be added
TO the income tax.
"If, in any case, delinquent shall
be found to have made such dispo.
sition of his property that the tax can
not be collected without the enforce
ment of the lien created by section 92
the warrant of the Commissioner will
be required,
In every case the collector will Ger
tify, under. his seal of Office, to the
residence of the delinquent, to the
amount of the tax, to the fact that the
same was duly returned to him for col
lection, that the amount remains un-
paid for the space of ten days after
proper demand, and that the enforce
ment of the lien has become necessary.

New Goops-We are happy to in
form the readers of the Eagle, that DR..
Olds is receiving a large and splendid
stock fmost seasonablc and desirable
goods at his Democratic store. We
earnestly appeal to our Democratic
friends to patronize the Doctor We
cannot understand why the Fairfield
Democracy will still buy of, or patron
ize these Black Abolitionists.-Eagle.
We give the above the benefit ofour
circulation, so that the good people Of
Cincinnati, Columbus, st. Paul, Min
nesota, and elsewhere, may know that
the I" blessed martyr" has no notion Of
leaving this county, and that the fears
which they felt some time since of his
advent among them were entirely un-
founded. Out of charity to the rest
oftho world, we mean to keep the
Doctor in this county. We will en-
dure him. in the true Christian spirit
rather than infict him upon any other
community.
We can tell the Eagle why the Fair
field Democracywil still buy of ''thesc
Black Abolitionists. They are not
fools enough to be led by the nose in
business transactions as well as in pol.
itics. If they can buy cheaper and
better goods at other houses, they have
the good sense to do It. This fighting
the principles of political economy il
a useless and hopeless undertaking
more so than its fight against freedom
and Christianity. The next thing We
shall see that Sancho Panza shce'
fighting the law of gravitation. Not
withstanding the constant whining o
the Eagle about the insults and perse
cutions of the Democracy, its effort ha'
been from the first to bring about {
total separation between the two par
ties.
