India Rubber.

&p- CHARLES GOODYEAR has anotbe,
petition before The county for the ex
tension of Letters Patent granted 10 his
father for the invention Of vulcanized in.
dia rubber. While Mr.. GOODYEAR Ia.
bored under great many disadvantage
in bringing Lis invention before the pub
lie, yet we cannGt but believe that his
family have made money enough out Of
the speculation already without applying
for second lease Of time. Of course
the petition to Congress is supported bv
the various companies who manufacture
India Rubber goods, and by them only.
The bill provides that all persons or
corporations must pay five per cent Of
the net amount Of thex sales 10 the exc.
cutor (GooDYEAR) for the term Of seven
years after June 10, 1865, and no other
parties will be allowed to enter The com.
bination. The idea Of entrusting a few
men Win, me sole management Of so
important a branch of business as the
manu- lacturing Of rubber goods has now
become. ispreposterous, and the consum
mers have a right to rebel against any
such movement.
Let CHARLES GOODYEAR present a
claim 10 Congress for fixed compensa.
ton and the public might feel willing to
grant II, but when they appear with an
act which con'ers upon them powers of
taxation upon generous people, we
think that i. is carrying things little
10 far, and il Is system OF swndling
which the people have right 10 protest
against. We hope that Congress will
give the subject proper attention.

On Monday he boys OF the 9th, VIII,

The Board of Supervisors Of Buchanan
County met in special session Saturday
the 19th inst, for the purpose of grant.
ing these veterans county bounty, as
they have, as yet, never received a dime
from the county, and when they re-en
listed, expected, as matter of course,
that their services would be appreciated,
and their claims recognized BY the faith.
ers Of the county, all of which hope
will yet be done, as think their claims
to liberal com ensation al our
hands, is beyond question or dispute,
and must be noticed by the Board OF
Supervisors, as it already as by the com.
munity. By raising our per centage one
mill on the dollar for county purposes,
and allowing the county warrants TO draw
six per cent. interest until paid, would
be ample provision for the payment OF
all these soldiers warrants, and would
keep them al, or nearly al par as CIR
culating local currency, until finally re-
deemed. This is provision | would
recommend the Board TO adopt, and the
only one can think Of 10 make il salts,

The increase Of our assessment roll.
which is now about 100000 will be

iers are ready and willing TO adopt, viii
be an ample guarantee FOR the immediate
