~ Tax.

The Pittsburgh Chronicle Of The 22d publishes
the following letter. but say it cannot vouch for
is correctness:
CLKAHFIELD, Ps. Oct. }. 1855
EDiToRs CHRONICLE: | now take the present
opportunity of telling you the way things are
carried on in this part of the country. For the
last few weeks the old soldiers are organizing
into companies and regiments for the purpose of
resisting the collectors when they are collecting
the bounty tar. They say that men that had
any of their sons in the army before the bounty
tax came into existence, shall not pay q bounty
tax to give a lot OF towards and copperhesds for
one years service. They are nearly all old sol
diers, aud they got nothing when they went to
the army. and they say thvt their fathers shall
not pay a dig tax 10 give to towards when their
own boys were away fighting the battles OF their
country. IL Is nothing to see from sixty TO one
hundred men drilling in tho woods and they arc all
armed with Spencer's and sixteen shooters, ma
vies and sabres. 1t il their intention to burn up
all mems buildings that had anything 10 do with
laying on the bounty tax. In Indiana county,
on the Goth of September. when Gov. Curtin
was in Indiana, they had a meeting in the woods,
between there and the Rural village, and there
was over 200 men present. They held their
meeting in the woods ct night liz lie time there
was something done, for there il no telling when
they will commence their work of destruction.
They are going 10 tear up the Central Railroad
to keep troops from being sent up into this part
of the country. / heard some of them say at a
meeting, that there would be q rise from Delaware
TO the Rocky Mountains. have heard them
say that they would make their boun,ies off some
of the old fellows that had their boys all at home
when the wal was going on. A man that had
anything TO do with the laying on of the bounty
tax had better be lighting out for some other part
of the country. The frs. thing they will do
will be to capture Pi,tsburg to get artillery.
Little did they think, when they were letting the
soldiers take their arms home with them, the use
they we're going to make of them. know of
two powder mills in the woods in this county
Thew are going to carry the thing on a big scale
One half of the men in this part of the county
belong to this band of cut throats. They have
their passwords and bylaws, almost the sam as
the Knights of the Golden Circle. ]. G.. W.

y IL appears from the article below, which
We copy from the Gazette, that a movement is
being made By the Cincinnati stockholders and
creditors of the Cincinnati and Chicago Railroad
TO recover 1t from its present possessors. The
subject is one in which a very large number OF
people in this State are interested, and they
should Isrn their attention TO it.
Ii is a fact that those who frs. subscribed the
stock and built the railroads of Indiana, spent
their money. not for their Own benefit, but for
that of the public, and a few stock jobbers and
spectators who subsequently, got possession OF
the road. and. in many cases, It is feared. by
some species Of judicial legcrdemsin. Where
such was the case, the wrong ought to be
righted. If is can be. Whether tae road in
question falls within this category. We cannot
