The expenditures from the general fund as
herein estimated, exceed the estimates for
| the year 1864, S4S, 900.
This increase is necessary because of the
great increase in value Of all products and
commodities at the present time, and of the
certainty of the further increase in the values
of the same. Your Committee have, upon
| careful examination of the condition of the
| general fund at this time, and the demands
| likely to be made upon the same for the cur
rent year, found it necessary to provide for
an anticipated deficiency in said fund of
100000.
Your Committee are of the opinion that the
| amounts herewith reported, although very
large, cannot with safety be reduced If any
change is made they should be increased rath-
er than diminished, but we feel confident that
with prudent management on the part of those
having control of the expenditures of the
State, and having the Immediate charge of its
funds, the aforesaid amounts will prove suf-
fcient to pay all demands against the gener-
al and war funds on presentation. The great
| tax herein recommended to be levied UPON
the property of the State this year, is the
largest the people have ever been required to
pay in any previous year. 1t is shown that a
| large share of the tax is for the patriotic SUP
port OF the families of those citizens who are
engaged in the effort to put down this unius-
| tifable and most wicked rebellion against the
| best government in the world.
The people of this State have cbeerfullv
| responded to all calls for men and treasure
| to preserve this noble government instituted
| by our patriotic sires ('' in order to form a
| more perfect union, establish justice, insure
domestic tranquility, provide for the common
| oefence, promote the general welfare. and
! secure the blessings of liberty to themselves
and their posterity." They will promptly
| and Willingly. pay not only this tax but many
| more for the same purpose.
| III it shall be found that the exnendi+,ros
Tor general purposes were necessary. and the
management of State affairs has been midi
| clous and calculated to promote the hest into
rests and welfare of the people, and to de-
velop the resources of the State to the GREAT
est possible extent, and that expenditnras
| nave not been lavish, extravaeant. or nm
wisely ordered, it is believed that the naonIo
will willingly pay the large sum herewith re-.
commended ~, y
The Legislature should well and carefnI1v
consider the object Of, and necessity for all nro-
| posed expenditures; no unnecessary burden
| should be imposed upon the tax PAYERS to
cause dimniution of their patriotic ardor
or discourage them in their efforts to mt
down this gigantic rebellion.
Your Committee have estimated the reve-
nue. likely to be derived from banks at the
sum of $4,000 only, being less than one half
the amount paid by them in 1868.
| Under the national systems of banking,
| capital invested in national banks is exempt
| from all taxes-local, State or National-ex-
cept tax of one per centum on circulation

THE ORACULAR BELL.

One day. a buxom country maiden came
To the good Father Lobesan. Her name
Was Bertha She had sought the holy man
For counsel Stammering the poor girl began,
While rose-red bushes deepened her cheeks dyes:
Sc Good Pastor. neighbor Comrades son'-her eyes
Here sought the floor, while either fringed lid
Glowed with the secret she would fain have hid
&C Has asked-he wishes I shouldn't you guess
Already Then she fumbled at her dress,
Finding no words and, silent, dropped her head
And what is it he wishes, Bertha 20 said
The Pastor. "You should certainly feel free
Always to speak without reserve to me''-
A roguish twinkle in the good mans eye
Showed he enjoyed the girls perplexity,-
" You're not afraid to tell me?'' ssNo,' indeed,
Your worship-not that-but-'' "Ah 7 see T
read
1t in your face the youth would choose
You for his wife % eyes, and, if L refuse,
Having, he says for life no further care.
Will end at once his days and his despair.
Pray give me your advice-What shall doP''
sc Take counsel of thy heart and that pursue
Which it shall prompt; it is the safer guide
g Your worship jests wit me'' the girl replied:
/" My heart knows L DIT itself, wherefore fain
Would have some sign to make my duty plain"
"Well then," the Pastor said, g next Sabbath day
Rise with the sun, and, fasting, take your way
Straight to yon hill that lifts its summit high
Above the village 'gainst the eastern sky.
There tarry till upon the morning air
Swells the first summons of the bell to prayer
Then shall sign be given. Upon your ear
The chimes shall fall articulate and clear
As if from human lips; and if they say
Take him take him ? tits plain you should obey
But if the peals that from the belfry flow
Say Take ham not - then let the fellow go.''
The first faint tinge of mornings roseate hue,
On the next Sabbath, scarce had glmmereG
through
Her lattice low, ere Bertha and sought
The oracle, as the good man had taught
Meier did the hours daily and delay
As on that bright and peaceful Sabbath day;
The lazy sun, reluctant, seemed to climb
His crystal pathway and old Father Time
Jagged like lettering schoo I-boy that fair morn
Each faintest sound that or the wind came borne
OF barking dog, Growing chanticeer,
Startled meanwhile the girls expectant ear
Who, with fixed eyes, watching the beIfry, safe
Impatient, waiting for the words of fate.
Never before did sexton thus delay -.
Dear God ! why does he tarry so to-day 3?
Till suddenIy-bim- bin bfm-bim bim-biml
The long-expected sounds ring out at last,
As plain speech: Takehtns! take him take him

The experiment of firing fifty pounds of
powder in the 15-inch guns has been proved
successful, on board the gunboat lSangus, in
the Delaware river.
A special to the Post says: Troops are now
raised as rapidly as the Government can
equip them, and it is rumored that if volun-
teering continues at the present rate, draft
may be avoided in New York and other
States
The National Banks have been authorized
by Secretary Chase to receive subscriptions
for the 1910 loan. They are also made de.
positories for all Government moneys receiv-
ed by internal revenue, for communication IN

The Journals Huntsville special says q
party of guerillas on Thursday night robbed
several houses eighteen miles below that
place and stole a number of horses. Gen.
Logan drove them to the Tennessee river on
Friday, but could see no rebels on the oppo-
site bank.
An order from the War Department has
been issued allowing 80 days furlough to nom
commissioned officers and privates who desire
to enter the free military school at Philadel-
phia, when the character, conduct and capa-
bility of the applicant is such as to warrant
their immediate commanders in recommend
ing them for commissions in colored regi-
ments. r..s rr-..
The Navajoe Indians of New Mexico have
recently surrendered to the Z. S. forces.
The proper authorities have asked Congress
for appropriation of 100000 with which
to procure them agricultural implements and
subsistence until they can support themselves
on the reservation set apart for their coloni-
cation. The Navajoes have been at war for
nearly two centuries, and the peaceful plan
now proposed is deemed more economical
than the large war expenditures heretofore
incurred in New Mexico. They number
about 1000.

perhaps you did not know that I had
corns," said a good natured man, as a stran-

A jolly old darkey down South bought
himself a new hat, and when it commenced
raining he put it under his coat. When ask
ed why he did not keep his hat on his head,
he replied, "De hats mine, bought it wild my

Madame de Stael was pitiless talker.
Some gentlemen, who wished to teach her a
lesson, introduced person to her, who, they
said, was a very learned man. The blue
stocking received him graciously, but, eager
to produce an impression, began to talk away
and asked thousand questions, SO engrossed
with herself that she did not notice that hel
visitor made no reply. When the visit was
over, the gentlemen asked Corinne how she
| liked her friend. A most wonderful man =
| was the reply; "what wit and learning !"-
Here the laugh came in-the visitor was deaf
and dumb.
