Ain't Got mo Time 10 Send for u
White Man.

A Nashville correspondent of the Gin
cinnati papers relates the following good
thing:
During the skirmish in the little recon
noissance made by General Steedman on our
left, couple Of soldiers of the colored
brigade came upon three rebs whose guns
were unloaded, and demanded their sur
render. One Of the Johnnies indignantly
refused to surrender to a''d-d niger. -
Berry sorry, massa, said Sambo, bringing
his gun to ready !" "but we's in great
hurry, and hsin't got no time to send for a
white man." The ominous click that ac-
companisd this remark brought the scion of
chivalry to time, sndhe was brought in cry
ing, and swearing all the way that his father
would kill him if he ever heard that be had
surrendered to Niger.

Our Taxation.

Mr.. Golden, in his recent speech at Roch-
dale, England, brought out point on the
subject of American finances which is wor-
thy the attention of those prudent people
who desire that the war should be carried on
without expense. He said
People exclaim about the American ox-
penditure A friend told me the other day
that the Americans were spending two mil
lion dollars day, and asked me what /
thought Of it. | said thoughtit was rather
more but, having regard to the depreciation
Of American currency, and the present rate
Of exchange, it was very near the amount
which Mr.. Gladstone, in time OF peace, was
drawing from our own country hear, hear,
and mind you, as long sthe people OF Eng
land arc apt to think, with that comfortable
compIacency Of theirs, that they can onli
20 abroad to find objects OF pity, they viii
always be persuaded that they are ceverer
happier, and doing every thing better thar
their fellows Why is it that the American
! States have laughed to scorn the prediction
! Of all our financial msgnates aud our writer
| on finance, who told them that they coul,

out coming to Europe for a loanP How

because the American people have neve
allowed their Government to make wa
expenditure in time of peace. That is II
whole secret they were spending for tn
purposes of their Government from fiftee
to seventeen millions sterling per annu
when the war broke out, and savings the
made have enabled them to go through tn
terrific strain. Take ten millions Of sayin
for forty years, add together ten millions
saving Cor forty years with compound nte
, ests and you will see what a fabulo
amount it comes to- This is what Amerl
did,"
This tells the story. When the Unit
States, with their immense resources, cam
stand taxation, for the support OF
i righteous war, equal to that which Engla
} bears in time of peace, it is time that tn
cease to assert their right to be considers

The successful completion of Shermsn's
march through Georgia and the brilliant
victories of Schofeld at Franklin aud of
Themas in front of Nashville are too recent
to be more than glanced at here; but they
add immensely to the proofs already accu.
mulated that the Rebellion is in the last
stages of decline, when it can no longer pre-
tend to confront the Union armies in the
field, but must cling to its fortunes and
lines Of defenscs, whence it waits to DO

ventures to advance and challenge to equal
combat Not once this year have the Free
States been invaded or seriously threatened; ;
for the raid that laid Chambersburg in ashes
had not even the semblance Of substan-
tia demonstration. Tie Rebellion through
this year has struggled barely to hold on,
and has siqnally failed even in this. May
we not nationally conclude that its last sands
are running out--that a few more blows,
we'll planted, will end its career, and secure
to sur whole country tho blessings of Free
dom, Union, and Peace?

The managers Of ladies' fair in
New Orleans having objected to the
display of the national flag in their
rooms, on the ground that it was a

Banner is the "symbol of the sover-
eighty of the nation under whose pro-
lection they are" and directing that ii

respect to the flag was also ordered.

Call for More Men.

1t will be seen by the Presidents
call published elsewhere, that more
men are wanted. Last fall call was
made for 100000 men, and instead of
furnishing them rs we should have
done, every town, township, city, coun-
ty and State in the Union, went to work
to figure itself out Of the call, and so
far succeeded, that instead of getting
the men called for, the Government
obtained less than half the number
The result is n new call has to be made
to fill up the deficiency in that call.
We hope the people, instead Of go
ing to figuring will go to work to
secure the men. Let the rolls be cor
rected at once, and let the Trustees of
each Township in this county offer a
bounty Of one hundred dollars to each
recruit, and then let the people sub
scribe enough TO offer one, two or three
hundred dollars additional, and all go
to work welding their influence to
secure recruits, and the full quota can
be made up before the time fixed for
the draft. Every Township in the
county, that made the proper effort,
and commenced the work in time, filled
Its quota under the last call, and the
same can be done under this call.
Taking the quota under the call OF
July l6, 1864, for 100000 men as q
data to calculate from, and this county
will be required to furnish under the
present call, about 430 men, and tn,
following apportionment to the Town
ships will be found not far from correct
