GOAAOh SAAAkOLAS tOSAHdAs
Many thanks to the kind hearted
ladies of Gallipolis, for the presen-
tation of beautiful Regimental Col
or Notwithstanding the delays and
difficulties which interfered with the
design of those whose literally con-
tributed, and the far ladies who ear
nestly solicited the. same, it is none
the less appreciated. On this occa-
sion. remarks coming from me, In
which I would promise the benea.
cent people of G Gallipolis, that we viii
never betray their confidence would
be inappropriate, and at the expira-
tion of our term Of service, If our
career as Federal soldiers, secures
the appreciation OF our friends, some
one besides myself must commend
our actions.
With oldsoidiers 1t requires clear
logic to convince them, that One
Hundred days men. or six months
organizations, or One year Regi-
ments, should command universal ad-
miration in fact they can not per-
ceive, wherein the men composing
such regiments. should be praised for
patriotism, and their constent efforts
since 1861, almost ignored or at
least in great measure, forgotten.
For. and on behalf of the officers and
enlisted men of the l73d. O.V. l.
thank the kind people of Gallipolis,
and doubly thank those through
whose instrumantality, we are under
many obligations, for the beautiful
banner we received on the evening
of the 10th inst
Believing and hoping with the
same intensity as do for speedy
termination ofthe war, and that this
rebellion may be irrecoverably sup
pressed, that we will not -disappoint
our kind friends, the officers are
preparing resolutions for publica-
tion, therefore excuse brevity. Per-
NIT me personally to tender my CRATE
ful Acknowledgements to all the eitis
zens of your city, for the uniform
which they have manifested
towards me. j. II. HURD.

CHRISTMAS TREE.

Hurrahl for the Christmas tree;
Hurrat ,for the brave and the free,
Let every hand throughout our broad land,
Rear them Christmas tree,
Let no gewgaws be hung no trinkets be
swung
From the branches of liberty,
But the names Of the dead, whose blood
has been shed -...
Since rebellion unfurled her black flag;
The tears which must start, from the ma
tions great heart
Meath the shade Of that traitorous rag,
Add tOthe throng each insult and wrong
Heaped on the true, Of our land,
Then over the whole, this banner unroll
Upheld by an unfinching hand,
Hurrah ! for the Christmas tree;
Hurrahl for the noble, and free,
Let traitors, s.d knsves stoop to be
slaves.
But we've haye sworn to be free
Under this tree well swear to be free,
Now and forever be free,
Free as the rains, which water our plains,
As our rivers rolling on to the Sea-.
Free as the wind, which no fetteis can bind,
Or the suns rays kissing the lea,
Free as that one, with his eyes on the sun,
With his pinions sweeping the clouds,
Glorious bird, emblematIc word.
Speak not of nation in shrouds,
But triumphant at last, when the conflict
is.past, ae
For the good, the noble, and brave,
On the land, and the sea, all things are
free,
Shall man alone be a slave7

PRoFIT FROM TAXES Some parties
who are grumbiing at the high taxes
imposed on articles they manufac-
Uure, may find some crumbs of com
!orts in the following interview of a
manufacturer with q member of Con
gress. ..
Manuf.-I came on, sir, to gel re-
lief from an oppressive burden on
my branch Of business. There are
particular reasons why the article /
make should be exempted from the
three per cen. tax ....
NJ C.-What amount do you
manufacture annually?
Manuf.-One hundred thousand
dollars worth, on which l pay three
thousand dollars tax.
NJ. C--And you reckon the tax
you pay as part of the cost of your
article. and add to it the price, do
you not?
Manuf-Why, yes sir.
NJ. C.-What average profit do
you calculate to make on your goods?
Manuf.-Fifteen per cent.
NJ C.-Then you make fifteen per
cent on the amount you pay in taxes,
which, lift be $4,000, will give you
$3.50 more profits than you would
get if you pald no taxes. Is II not
so? 10
The gentlemen had no answer
prepared for this question, and the
conversation ceased.

more perniclous in its effect. more

Under the cover of darkness they
acquire the education of crime; they
learn to be rowdyish, if not abso-

words; they become restless, -reek-

then from vulgarity. save them from
