everybody who receives more than a dollar a
day, and dresses decently. Every bit Of leg

people who possess more property than ac-

echo; and one would imagine, TO Judge from
some OF the speeches and articles which ap-
pear every week, that people who make any
attempt to lay up money, deserve no mercy.
not to speak of encouragement from the
State. The true patriots, we are to in.er, are
those who spend all they earn. The real
props of the State are the idle, or shiftess. or
wasteful. These are extraordinary doctrines
to be preached ia America country in
which hereditary wealth is almost unknown;
in which in nine cases out of ten, all that any
man possesses is the product of his own in
dustry, prudence and sagacity, ard in which,
more than in any other country, the safety and
welfare of the nation depends on the preser-
vation aud growth of these virtues. So far
from prosecuting, depreciating, or making leg

prove the possession of them, by accumulation

tected in the preservation of their savings.

A REMARKABLE CONFESSION.

The Mobile Advertiser, of the 10th of Jan
uary makes this remarkable confassion:
We do not attempt to disguise the fact that
the Confederate cause is passing through its
most dangerous crisis Large numbers of the
people-perhaps, a maiority-are at heart sick
of the war, and are willing to end it upon
terms which would have been secuted at as
reasonable two years, or even one year ago.
a class of slsgeholders, having the deepest
primary interest in the struggle for independ-
ence, are willing and ready to make sacrifices,
which a short time ago would not have been
tolerated.
We have no doubt that the country-in-
cluding slave proprietors, large and small
would compromise to-day for peace and inde-
pendence, on the basis OF gradual and univer-
sal emancipation Of the blacks. We may GO
further, and say that large numbers would be
willing to give up al-their cherished thoughts
of independence, and exchange the institution
for naked peace upon terms of reconstruction.
This is d great change wonderful revolution
of popular sentiment. resulting from four years
of tremendous war

WHAr AN EpI1oR MIGHT HAVE BEEN.

Holland, of the Springfield (Mass.) Repub-
lcan, has been up in Vermont, "to where he
came FROM" and he thus sketches what he
should have been had he not left home and be
come an editor:
Your correspondent would have grown stall
wart and strong, with horny hands, and face
as black as the ace of spades. He would have
taught school winters, worked on farm sum-
mers, and gone out haying fifteen days in July,
and taken for pay the running gear OF wag>
on. At Twenty-Five or thereabouts, he would
huve begun to pay attentions to girl with a
father worth two thousand dollars, aud a spit
curl on her forehead-a girl who always went
to singing school and "set in the seats,' and
without opening her mOuth-a pretty girl,
anyway. Well, after seeing her home from
singing school two or three years, taking her
to a Fourth Of July, and getting about a
hundred dollars together, he would have mar
ried and settled down. Years would pass
away, and that girl with the spit-curl would
have eleven children just as sure as you live
seven boys and four girls. We should have
had hard time bringing them up, but they
would be soon able enough TO do the milking
and help their mother on wash days, and l,
getting independent at last and feeling little
sitter in the joints, should be elected a mem
Der of the Legislature, having been an asses
sOr and school committee man for years. In
the evening of my days, with my pipe in my
mouth, thirteen barrels of cider in the cellar,
and newspaper in my hands, should sit and
look over the markets, through pair of gold
mounted spectacles, and wonder at such a
strange, silly piece as this being published,

INCOMES OF LAST YEAR,

There seems to be an impression abroad
that the recent propositions in Congress in
regard to amending the Income Tax bill are a
part Of the first efforts toward framing our
next payable income taxes, that is, those oil
the year 1864. But those taxes are already
fixed by the law approved Jan. 80, 1864. As
they have received but little public attention,
and as they differ considerably in some re-
spects from those of 1868, it may be worth
while to glance at their chief features.
The new scale of taxation is as follows: On
incomes between $500 and $4,000, the tax is
to be five per cent; between $4,000 and $40,
hOOO, seven and half per cent; on all over
$4,000, ten per cent. Besides the 5000,
which is exempt in all cases, there shall be de-
Quoted all national, State and municipal taxes
of the year, except the income tax the in-
come derived from the dividends of all corpo-
rations, and the interests upon their bonds and
debts, previously assessed the rent of the
payers homestead, or the rental value of it
when owned the amount paid fer hired labor
in carrying on a business rents OF places of
business; money paid for repairs, not exceed
ing the average of the preceding five years,
and money paid for interest on membranes
on real estate.
But it is to be observed that there is to be
only one exemption of $500 from the aggre-
gate incomes of family composed Of parents
and minor children, or husband and wife, ex-
cept where the income OF wife or child is de-
rived from a Separate source. Publishers Of
newspapers will not have their incomes from
advertisements deducted under this law, as Uu-
der that of 1862.
The items of income are somewhat enlarged.
The net profit on real estate purchased and
sold within the pest year are reckoned as IL
CONS ; aud losses of the same nature are 70
be deducted. The interest due over and
above the amount of interest paid upon all
notes, bonds, mortgages aud other forms of
Indebtedness, if good and collectable, is to be
included as income.
Ali gains derived from the purchase and
sale of stocks and property, including agricul-
tural products, and the profits from all COM
panies not specified in the law-that is, which
have not paid taxes on dividend-are reckoned
as income, as is also the interest upon notes,
bonds, and other securities of the United
States. The taxes are to be levied on the
first Of May, and to be due and payable on the
Both OF June 1865.

DEATH OF GOVERNOR CANNON.

We announce with feelings of uDleigned
sorrow The death of His Excellency, Governor
William Cannon. lie was attacked with ty,
phoid fever, and after an illness of a week OF
ten days. expired at his residence in Bridge
vile, about three o'clock last "Wednesday
morning. The announcement sent thrill oil
regret to the heart of every loyal man in our
city, and the various flags were looped up to
indicate the general sorrow. The death OF
the Governor at this time really seems like a
public calamity. The heart Of every true
Uniouist in The State will be filed with sor-
row. He was one of the most energetic, en-
terprising and thoroughgoing men in this
Commonwealth, and the loss occasioned by his
decease cannot be readily repaired.
By virtue of the Constitution, DIR. SaIisbu-
ry, Speaker of the Senate, becomes Governor
for the unexpired term, and in November,
1866. a successor will be chosen by the people.

That there is iniquity sufficient practised ia

The effects of hard and soft water in cook
ing different vegetables vary materially Peas
and beans cooked in hard water containing
lime or gypsum, will not boil tender, because
these substances harden vegetable casein. II
soft water they boil tender and lose a certain
rank, raw taste which they retain in hard
water. Many vegetables as onions boil
nearly tasteless in soft water because all tbs
favor is dissolved out. The addition of salt
often checks this (as in the cass of onions)
causing the vegetables to retain the peculiar
favoring principles, besides much nutriOus
matter which might be lost in soft water.
Thus it appears that salt hardeus the water to
a degree. For extracting the juices OF meat
to make broth or soup, soft water, uusalted
and cold at first, is best, for it much more resdi
ly peuetrates the tissues but for boiling meat
where the juices should be retained, hard wat.
er or soft water saIted is preferable, and the
meat should be put in while it is boiling so

We have lately observed well pIaned
smoke house on the premises Of good far
mer well worthy of brief description. Il
was about six feet square, the lower half Of
brick, furnished with an iron lined door, aud
serving as an ash house and place for fire.
The upper part, about four feet high, besides
the ascent of the roof was made Of wood. Il
was separated from the lower part by scant-
ling joists, with space of two or three inches
between them, through which smoke and air
could freely pass, but sufficient to catch any
ham that might accidently fall into the fire.
The upper part as well as the lower, was en-
tered by a door from the outside. The upper
door may be kept locked, except When admit
ting air or withdrawing hams: but the lower
one may be left unlocked, for building dres,
without any danger of the contents above be-
ing stolen, as the thief cannot pass through
the openings between the joists.
