There IS not much war news this week
There has bean soma skirishinS in Grants

che same as last week. Petersburg has not
yet been captured. but our guns command

Relief for Indiana Sick and Wounded
Soldiers.

To the People Of Indiana:
The demands upon the Indiana State
Sanitary Commission for money and sup
plies for the relief of our sick and wounded
soldiers. have # late greatly increased.
owing to the recent important and bloody
battles in Georgia and Virginia. The
work performed by the Commission.
through its efficient and self sacrificing
agents who are constantly visiting the
hospitals and battle fields. has been of the
greatest benefit to our cause. and the relief
TINS afforded to orr brave and suffering
soldiers is creditab.e to humanity and the
enlightened age in which we live. But
the commission cannot carry forward the
great work they have undertaken without
means. and know that the patriotic and
loyal people of Indiana need only to learn
that assistance is required and that their
contributions will be faithfully applied,
to insure prompt and liberal response
Our soldiers, who have been strick en-
down by battle and disease. are entitled to
every care and all the relief that kindness
and humanity can suggest. l therefore
fappeal TO the good people Of the State to
unite IN systematic effort on Tor before
the Fourth Day Of July nert. in their
respective cities, towns and neighborhoods,
to procure funds and supplies, and that
the same be sent as soon as practicable,
by Express. to William Hannaman, Esq,
President of Indiana Sanitary Commission,
at this place. who will promptly acknowl.
edge receipt Of the same.
The supplies most needed are under-
clothing, 6andoges. lint. topels. sheets,
pilio,cs, pa1low slips. dried and canned
fruits. Vegetables and other articles oil
diet need not be sent. as these can be pur-
chased moro advantageously by the Com
mission. orr 0. p. MoRToN,

The New Tax Law.

The new tax bill passed both Houses on
Saturday with singular unanimity. In the
Senate there was scarcely vote against it.
In the House, Holman, Of this State.
failed to get votes enough to require the
ayes aud nays, and it passed without a
division. Scarcely dozen copperheads
opposed it. 1.-THE copperhsad demagogues
at home raise aay opposition to the law
it will be we'll 20 keep in mind the fact
that it received the votes Of nearly all their
representatives in Congress. The bill
imposes a tax ofsSl 50 per gallon on dis
titled spirits. between July 1st. 1864. and
February lst. 1865, ani 50 per gallon
thereafter. On incomes of from $500 to
S5, 900 tax is imposed of per cent
from $1,000 to $4,000, u per cent.
Express companies are taxed 8 per cent
on gross receipts. and Telegraph companies
5 per cent on receipts. the stamp tax on
messages being abolished. On ale. beer.
and other malt liquors, 81 per barrel oil
20 gallons. On banks as follows: per
cent on circulation, under 90 per cent /;
over that amount. 2 per cent on capital,
| per cent; on deposits, ! per cent.
1t is estimated that the law will produce
revenue Of three hundred millions per
annum. 1t isthe most important measure
passed during this session Of Congress.
1t ought to have been enacted two years
ago. If it had. the public debt would be
FIVE hundred millions less than now.

One reason why the Coppsrheaa Exec

One reason why the Copperhead Exec
utive Committee postponed their National
Convention was-they foresaw that as
soon as the nominations were made there
would be split in the ranks. as the dit
ferences between the war and anti-war fac
tons. or Mcclellan and vallandigham
wings, are irieconcileable. They conclu.
ded. therefore. to postpone the Conven'
ton until the latest possible day. SO that
the disappointed faction will not have time
to call another convention. they may
slip up in their calculations in this respect
The minority may not consider it necessa'
nv to call another convention, but proceed
at once. as they did at Baltimore in 1860
to make their nominations. In the mean
time. Fremont and his friends are busy
trying to secure the nomination. aud bets
are freely offered that he will buy up
a sufficient number of delegates to give it
to him before tho Convention meets
Already VIC hear Copperheads talking Of
Fremont in the most respectful terms
They are beginning to rcalizo that he is
their only chance.

about 6 p. m, where we remained until the
morning Of the Goth. when we again took
the cars for this place.
Tracy City is situated about twenty four
miles from Cowan station, and about
thirty miles from Tantalon. upen one of
the hills of the Cumberland range OF
mountains. When we reached the place
it was garrisoned by a company of the
10th Tennessee cavalry. who left this
morning, leaving Captain Hamlin in com
mand of the post. The town consists OF
about dozen houses, and is noted for
its proximity to some extensive coal mines

Captain to-day, but did not enter them.

as well as the coal mines, are owned by q

The Stark Press. Copperhead sheet,
suggests that their Legislative convention
to nominate . candidate for Representa-.
tive. be held at as early day rs praetica-
bic after the National Convention. We
heard Copperhead say last Saturday that
be did not believe there was going to be
any Democratic National Convention this
year, and be didn't care d--n whether
there was or not, as old Abe was sure to
be elected any how. II he was right in his
conclusion, then there viii be no copper.

Judge Perkins Prescribed.

We clip the following extracts from
two well known Copperhead sheets pub
lished in Northern Indiana. from which it
will be seen the cry has been raised to cru
city Judge Perkins. because he is srppo-
sed to be in favor of supporting the war
We don't care cent for Judge p. and
shall not shed tear over his fate, whatev.
er it may be, regarding him as we do as q
most corrupt and dishonest Judgs. but do
not think heis any more in favor of sup.
porting the war than the two papers are
who are crying'out "Crucify him! Cruel
" hint" But read the extracis-they
will serve to indicate the direction the wind

De one Of the best lawyers in the State
and would wor.hily fill the station of SUI
preme Judge. lie is also eminently sound

which is more than we can say of Jadge
Perkins. Should Mr. Taylor receive the
nomination we could heartily support
him.-Piyn,outh Democrat.
We endorse every word Of the above,
so far as it relates to the fitness of Mr..
Tsylor for tho Office OF Supreme Judge
His eminent soundness on political ques-
tions. will commend him to the favor OF
all Democrats. We do not believe in the
principle of letting politics influence Judi
ciary matters: but as it has become an es-
tablished rule of oil parties to make the
selection OF Judges political question.
We believe it TO be the duty of the Democ-
racy TO nominate none but men of the
straightest sect. We are assured that
such is Mr.. Taylor. We hope too that he
will be nominated. Perkinsism-support

nounced that he considered it his duty TO
support the war as now prosecuted. altho'
it was not prosecuted according to his
views. He has since tried to atone for
this sin, by deciding political questions
just as leading Copperheads wanted him
-. thereby showing that his sympatbies
were ell with the rebels, but it all won't
do. He betrayed too much patriotism in
that instance TO be trusted in future.
