Res,s...,en Of Mr. sla.r.,.

Hon. Montgomery Blair resigned las
week his position as Pos. Master General
The correspondence which passed betweeI
she President and himself reflects the high
sstscrsdit on both. His resignation will be
perhaps q loss to the Postal service, for
Mr.. B. proved himself to be the most eff
cient Post Master General the country
ever bad. The necessities which has i'm
pelied the Presiden, to accept Mr.. Blair,
offer to resign, does not in the least, a,
will be seen from the correspondence, throw
discredit upon the latter gentleman.
The appointment Of Ex Governor Den
nison to the vacancy, which is announced,
win rebound greatly to the good judg-
ment Of the President in making the selec.
tiou, as well ss to the interest of the ser.
vice. Governor Deuuison will no doubt
prove IN efficient officer.

LET THE CLERKS PREPARE FOR THE
TAX.-On the first of October there will
be levied and collected, under a joint res
olution of Congress, a special tax of five
per cent, upon the income of all citizens
of the United States for the year ending
the 3lst of December, 1863, over 5000.
At one time it was thought that clerks
and other government employees, who had
been already taxed upon their salaries,
would be exempt, out the Revenue De-
partmens has decided otherwise. The fol-
lowing amounts will therefore be retained
by the disbursing officers from the October
payment of salaries to persons who have
no other income
From $4,000 clerk, FIVE per cent. on
$5S2, $50 10; from 81 400 clerk, five
per cent. ON $776, $3.50; from a 81, 800
clerk, five per cent. on 1910, $4S.50; from
on $500 clerk, FIVE per cent. on 81, 164,
$500.
This will test the financial skill and
economy of thousands of civilians, with
flour at SIT a barrel, beef and bacon at 80
cents, butter at 60 cents, and groceries at
an advance Of more than one hundred per
cent. within the last, six months.

TO OUR SUBSCRIBERS.

The great increase in the price of all printing
material, as well as the labor about the pub
fishing OF n newspaper, compels us to adopt
the course which all our contemporaries have Of
late indicated, as the only safe one for the con-
ductors of newspaper We, like the rest Of
the community, are burthened with an unusual
expense, owing to circumstances over which we
have no control In view Of this state of things,
we are reluctantly compelled to say to our sub,
scribers, that from and after this date we shall
charge One Dollar and Fifty cents a year for the
AJis s. htelligencer in advance;
and Trio DollorS if not paid until the end of the
year.
Those persons now indebted to US for subscrip-
tion who settle their bills before the first of Oc-
tober, will only be charged 81, but after that
date 81 so will in all cases be demanded. One
dollar and fifty cents has always been the price
Of the paper when not paid in advance, but we
have never demanded it, aud would not now, if
circumstances did not peremptorily require such
a course. The enlargement Of our paper has i'm
posed upon us an additional expense, and GER
tainly made the paper that much more valuable
10 our readers.
We feel that il adopting this course we are
only taking such steps as every Judicious man.
in the present condition of affairs, finds himself
compelled to adopt; and without saying more,
we return our thanks to the public for the very
liberal support of the last two years, and prom
Use, that to the extent Of our feeble Abilities the

|. When the existing fever of speculation
shall have been suddenly arrested when
the gold mining bubble shall have burst,
and the gambling in specie received a
check the city will be full of broken down
men. They will haunt Wall street like
visible ghosts, with shocking bad hats, GOV.
ering sickened brains, and shabby coats
strainingly blttoned over wretcbed and
hopeless hearts. Looking like men who
have been caught in falling ruins more
tangible than those Of a financial edifce,
they will walk hungry and penniless, star
ing into the windows of the pastry cooks,
iuhaling narcotic vapors only from smoke
of other mems cigars. lake the Italian
cities, our metropolis will be thronged with
beggars, who, from ancient family wealth,
have been reduced to wretched poverty

Utilizing the Government Horses.

The economical uses to which the gov
eminent army horse is now put, after hav-
ing been "mustered out Of the service" is
thus shown by the Washington RepuJH-
can:
Last year the disabled and condemned
animals were sold for less than sony
apiece to contractors, who, in fact, pur
chased only the hide, took it off, and lei
the carcass on government hands. The
there was the cost of removing and bury
ing at some little distance beyond Arling
ton Heights. The accumulation of
much animal matter Zone hundred horse
a day at the lowesD in any locality nea
the city was positive evil, and buryin
it in the earth in great reservoirs, a pos,
tive waste.
A few months ago the War Departmer
made contract with parties who utiliz
the dead horses in such manner til;
they are enabled to pay the governmen
fifty thousand dollars year more for til
condemned animals, and saue to them fiji
thousand dollars besides, making yearl
profit to the United States of one hundre
thousand dollars-suficient to pay til
salaries of ffteen major generals-whiI
making handsome profit to themselvti

Double Murder On Shipboard.

The ship Lady Emily Peel, Captain
James Denny, arrived at Philadelphia, on
Wednesday night, from Londonderry, with
three hundred and fourteen emigrant pas
sengers. During the passage two of the
female emigrants got Into light, il, which
one OF them received injuries Of such
serious character as to cause her death.
Another fight occurred on board on
Thursday, between the crew, during which
one stabbed another, killing him instant
ly. 1t appears that several of the crew
were Intoxicated, and created disturb
ance. Among them were Francis Nc
keever aud Robert Dougherty. Joseph
McMaster, the boatswsin, quiet and in
offensive man, in endeavoring co quell the
disturbance became involved, and was at
tackled by McKeevcr, Dougherty, aud a
third man named John Gallagher. Nc
Master, who was powerful man, was
getting the best Of his adversaries, when
McKeever drew large sheath knife from
his belt, such as are carried by, seamen,
and plunged it into McMasto rs neck -
The blade entered under the left ear, pen
ctrating one aud half inches, cutting
the angular vein and carotid artery. The
blood gushed out in torrents, and the
wounded man fell to the deck, and expired
without utteripga word. McKeever, who
was excited, missed his step and fell, the
same weapon with which he had commit
ted the murder entering his right thigh,
infictins frightful wound, which bled
proIusely. '
The deck of the vessel was by this
time one mass of clot,ed blood, and the
greatest excitement and CONSERVATION pre-.
vailed among the some one Or two hum
dred emigrants, male aud female, who
were yet on board. McKeever was rem
dered helpless from the loss of blood, and
was picked up and taken to an hospital.
He also received, during the fight, a Sc
we're cut over the left ear. Tue police
soon arrived, and arrested all the partici.
pants.
