TOPEKA, Feb. IA, 1865.

E We are informed that the poison
vaccine m after. recently spoken of. was
not taken from a soldiers arm. but from
a healthy subject. and that it operated
charmingly upon those who were first
vaccinated with it. But we also learn
that the matter was kept in nse. after
passing through large number OF snh-
iecis. until it finally produced the bad er.
fects mentioned. Therefore. it must have
contracted its inpurity from some person
through whom it passed. We are also
assured that the physician alluded to had
DO part in spreading the poisonous matter.
but merely used it upon himself. We
are sorry if our article reflected unfavor-
ably upon him, as he is an estimable
man. and possesses the confidence of the
in which he resides.

,UNwRlTTEN HrsTonr.-Much ofthe his
tory Of Jayhawking (or horse stealing } in
this part of the country, has not yet been
written; but it is by no means unknown,
and will not always remain unrecorded.
When it is given to the public, it will re-
fleet unfavorably upon some individuals
who are admitted into the society of hon
est men, but who have for years been hsr-
boring thieves and keeping their stock,
and thereby sharing the profits; whose
families were outrageously insulted by the
thieves. and the horse-aesh gentry finally
compelled to seek other accommodations,
in order TO prevent the disruption of said
families.
There is also an unwritten history OF
the stealing Of Jeffries' mules, who did it,
how he came to do it, how their where
abouts were discovered, and who shared
the reward obtained for their recovery.
These, and many other incidents, are
one day to be written.

MURDER RY~A~ HoRsE;THrr.-A fatal
ARRAY occurred at Seneca. Nenabs Coun.
ty. on Wednesday evening last. A Uni
on man, named Blevins, in Holt County,
Missouri. had his horses stoleI, not long
since. and received Intelligence that they
were in the possession Of one Smith. at
Seneca. who for long time past. kept
a stable for tbs purpose Of receiving stol-
en- stock. Blevins cams over the river,
and employed Edgers Nuzum, Of this
Township. to accompany him and assist
in recovering his property. They proceed-
ed to Seneca, were having 80 interview
with one Of the citizens, when Smith.
haying been spprised of their arrival.
had the horses tek.n from the stable,
for the purpose Of. running them off.
The citizen alluded 10. called the atten-
tion of B!evins and Nozum to this pro-
ceeding. and requested them to hasten to
the stable and see whether the could iden.
tify the horses They started for the
stable. and as they approached. Smith.
who was standing in q lot adjoining the
stable. fred upon Nazum. who was in
advance. but missed him. His next shot
was at Blevins. who appeared to have
turned for the purpose of retrsating. the
ball entering somewhere near the back,
and passing through both lungs. Smith
then fred number more shots at Nuz.
um. one ball passing through his cap.
and another through the cape of bis great
coat, but neither of them touching the
flesh. Blevins died that night; and We
learn that the Sheriff has since taken
charge of the horses. But ;here was a
Dackwardness manifested IN securing the
arrest Of Smith-whether from unwilling
ness, fear. or sloss to know how it should
be done. our informant cannot say
and by the time they were ready to do
something, the murderer wss gone. He
may escape for season, but his doom is
written. @

There seems to be an impression abroad,
saws the Boston journal, that the recent
propositions in Congress. in regard to
amending the income tax bill. are part
of the 6rat efforts toward framing our
next payable income taxes. that is. those
of the wear 1864. Bnt those taxes are al
ready fixed BY the law approved june 81.
1854. As they have received but littie
public attention. and as they differ con-
side,sbly in some respects from those Of
1868. il may be worth while TO glance ct
their chief features.
The new scale Of taxation is as follows:
On incomes between $500 and IS. ZOO.
the tax is to b. FIVE per cent; between
IS, 600 and $4,000, seven and half
Der cent; on all over SO. 900, ten per cent.
Besides the $500. which is exempt in all
cases, there shall be deducted all nation
al, State and municipal taxes Of the year.
except the income tax; the income derived
from the dividends of all corporations.
and the interest upon their bonds and
debts. previously assessed; the rent Of the
payers homestead. or the rental value Of
it when owned; and also the amount paid
for hired labor in carrying on business.
rents of places OF business. money paid
for repairs not exceeding the average Of
the proceeding FIVE years. and money paid
for interest on membranes on real estate.
But it is to- be observed there is to be only
one exemption Of $500 from the aggregate
incomes Of . family composed of parents
and minor children. or husband and wife.
except where the income of wife or child
is derived from a seperate source. Pub
fishers of newspapers will not have their
incomes from advertisements deducted
under this law. As under that of 1862.
The items of income are womewhst en-
larged. The net profits on real estate
purchased and sold within the year are
reckoned as income, and losses Of The same
nature to be deducted. The interest due
over and above the amount Of interest paid
upon all notes. bonds, mortgages. and 9th
er forms of Indebtedness. if good and col
lectsble, is to bs included as income
All gains derived from the purchase and
sale Of stocks or other property. inclml-
ing agricultural products. sni the profits
from all companies not specified in the
law-that is. which have not paid taxes
on dividenis-are reckonef ~ income.
as is aho the interest upon notes. hont!s.
and other securities of the United States,
The taxes are to be levied on the lst OF
May. and to b. dee and payable BY the
30th of June.

KEEprse IT Ur.-Ths fall of Charlie.

KEEPING IT UP.-The fall of Charles.
ton is complete. The entire city. end all
the surrounding forts and defences, are
again in Union hands. Some 200 guns
were captured, spiked, but otherwise un-
injured; and large quantity of ammuni-
tion. The chivalry, before leaving, burn
ed the ship yards. and large amount Of
cotton. and plundered the Inhabitants
who remained, being mostly of the poor
er.elass. a- t'-
Upon the heels of the capture Of Charles
ton, Fort Anderson, on Cape Fear River.
was stormed. which was followed by the
evacuation of Wilmington. and our army
now occupies tina. city:
Sherman is still moving on. The rebel
papers boast that Beauregard is going to
whip and destroy his army. when he gets
q "good ready" but we think be will
hardly get ready.
The Richmond papers acknowledge
that it was Fitzpatrick who whipped
Wheeler, near Augusta, instead of the re-
verse. as tiey had been Boosting. They
have nothing to console themselves with.
except reports of small squads and garri-
sons of Eedersls being nov and then
captured BY bold dashes of the rebels.
News of a great battle between Sher-
man and Johnston is hourly expected.
Johnston has assumed command of the
rebel forces opposed to Sherman, and
Hills Corps has gone from Richmond to
that vicinity. Sherman is reported to be
near Fayetteville. and i. is supposed that
Sehofeld has formed q junction with him
at that place. A corps of surgeons. with
heavy supplies of hospital stores, have
been sent to Wilmington. in anticipation
of,,a battle.
GDeserters are pouring into Grants
lines. They ell report that Petersburg is
being evacuated.
