nessee, in very effective way. A meet
ING of rebels was held recently at Mem
phis, with the consent of tho Uuited
States authorities, at which measures
were adoptedfor the suppression OF bush
whackiug and the final and immediate
abandonment of rebellion, The follow
ing paragraph from the speech of Col
GRACE, of Arkansas. will afford an idea
of the spirit that animated the meeting

drew up the ordinance Of secession in the
Legislature of Arkansas; have been IN
the field fighting against the Union for
nearly four years, but now ] am con-
auered and whipped man, Laughter. J
As was gallant in going out to fight,
now propose to be gallant at surrender

That's the way to do it The man who
submitsIgracefully and even cheerfnlly
when he,knows he is whipped, is entitled
to tenfold more consideration than he
who yields sullen and reluctant obedi'

The New York World of Wednesday,
expresses the opiuisn that there is evef
~ indication that the petroleum excite.
ment will shortly be revived. 1t was
overdone during the first months of the
wear, and reaction was inevitable; but
the immense number Of companies which
were organized last winter have very
many of them been developing their pro-
perties, and already reports ale numerous
of wells struck, in newly developed lands,
Western Virginia, Ohio, and other locali-
ties will vie with Pennsylvania in the
future oil product, and capital will b
diverted to widely separated properties.
II will hereafter be much more Of le,
ultimate business, and much less Of 2
speculation, than it has heretofore been.
There may not be so many new compa.
MES organized, but oil lands will b
worked more by capitalists and private
enterprise. The abundance Of money
will no doubt help TO stimulase tho de'
velopment of oil properties" |
In connection with the above it may
be remarked concerning the oil prospects,
of West Virginia. that in many places
wells are being sunk rapidly and steadi
". There is no fuss, no excitement, but
the development of the oil region is 60
lug on quietly and with indications OF
success, whose publication four months
ago would have created quite furor.-
The companies are laboring to obtain OIL,
not to puff their territory into fictitious
value. The day for speculation is gone
by aud the "oil fever" has subsidized into Q
regular and Legitimate business hemmed
in by proper metes and bounds. /

THE MoTro OF VIRGINIA.-Last week
General Patrick, Provost Marshal Gem
eral at Richmond, summoned Mr.. Smith,
of the Wig, before him, and ordered him
to remove fir on his paper the Virginia
coat of arms. The Richmond correspon-
dent ofthe New York Thibaas, narrsting
the fact, says:
The only reason alleged for the refuss.
to permit the picture of the State coat q
arms to remain in the Wing, was thai
the motto of sic seu,per tyramais" vas
used by the cowardiy assassin OF ex-
President Lincoln. No comment on fhle
procedure is necessary. Time will snow
whether il is in the province Of any mill
tary official to annul the motto OF 2
state simply because it was stolen and
anpropriated by dsstardly murderer
for the accomplishment Of a deed which
has brought upon him the unqualified

True Charity--A Beautiful
Thought.

Night kissed the young rose, and il bent
softly to sleep. Stars shown, aud pure
dow drops hung upon its bosom and
watched it's sweet slumbcrs. Morning
oamo with i,s dancing brcezes, and they
whispered TO the young rose, and il awOkc
Joyous and smiling. Lightly it danced to
aud fro in all the oyelncss of health and
youthful innocence. Then came tho ardcnt
suu-god sweeping from tho east. and he
smote the young roso with his scorching
Tayp, and it fuintcd. Deserted aud almost
hcar-brokun, it dropped to the dust in its
loneliness aud despair. Now the gentle
breeze, which had been gambolng over
the sea- pushing on the homebound bark,
sweeping ovcr Hill and daIe-by tho neat
cottage aud the stll brook turning the
old mill, tanning the brow OF ,liseaEr, aud
frisking the curs of innocent childhood
came tripping along on her orrauds Of mer
cy and love; and when she saw the youns
TOse she hastoned to kiss il, aud iondly
bathed its forehead in COOL refreshing
showers, and tho young rose revived, and
looked up and smiled in gratitude to the
kind breeze; but sho hurried quickly
away her gentraus task was performed,
ye not without reward for she soon per.
ceived thata delicious fragrance had boen
poured o. her wings by the grateful rose
and the kind broe2o was glad in heart, and
went away singing through tho ,reee
Thus, true charity, like the breeze, gathers

freshea, and u consciously reaps a reward
in the performances of its offices of kindn, So
which steals on the heart like rich perfume

Income Tax of Farmers.

The Deputy Commissioner of Informal
Revenue has rendered decision in respect
10 the revenue of farmers, OF which tho gol.
lowing are the material portions. After
referring to the several acts on the inject
he says:
II will DO fouud that farmers income re-
turns for 1864 will include some portion uf
the crop of 1863, and which was taxed az
income for that year. There is an apparent
injustice in suhiocting the same income 10
tax IN two ditlvreut years, the year WHEN
raised and tho year whom soil, but con.
sideratlon of tho question viii show that il
ia ouly an apparent ono. For, suppose the
incoinc Of iarmrr to bo the same every
Ooar, and tho rate of tax the same, il is plain
that the amount of tax should he also the
same. Now the iamer does not sell the
whole crop each year within that year. and
II he is taxed in 1864 on such produce ouly
as he raised and sold within that year, Il is
clear that he willnot pay the full tax due on
his real income, SnppOsmg the yearly crop
60 bo tho same, the farmer will, in the hst
year OF the tax, raise certain amount OF
produce on which no will pay no tax, be-
cause unsull and su n proluce will, ON an
average, lac n fair offset against tho produce
raised in 1863, bl,t sold in 1864, aud which
consequently, pays two taxes.
II is true that in particular cases hard
ships will arise, from the fact that the
practice NJ farmers il not uniform in regard
10 selling or Itnring produce. And in other
cases farmers will escape their just share
o tax for tho slnse reason. But the same
occasional hleqaaltty viii occur under ANY
general provision OF law, aud can not b,
asOide,l.
The entire amount, ,hon, of produce sol,
in 1864 must DO returned as income h,
farmers, without regard to any taxes pre-
Viously paid on any such produo',

A STRANGE Story ABOUT Mr.. LINooLN.
Three ears ago the gentleman spoke o',
says tho correspondent OF tho Co ptry
GeHtiem0n told us u story OF Mr.. TInoohn,
which have no, thought OF since, until
now. When Mr. Lincoln received the
news of his first election he camo homo to
tell Mrs, Lincoln about il. She was up
stsi' in the bedroom, and after ,elliDg the
news, in walking about tho room his eye
fell upon the bureau ghss. Immediately
he threw himself down upon the lounge,
and told Mrs. Lincoln he thought he mIist
be i'll, for he saw second reflection of HIS
face in the glass, which he could not nc.
count for II was perfect, but very pale.
oh said Mrs. Lincoln, that means that
yoA viii bo re-rlooted don't like its
booking pale" she added, that looks as il
you would not live through yonr second
term" Mr.. Lincoln himself told this 10
the friend mentioned, and this gentloman
tnld il to us in our parlor, soon after the
frat Bull Run battle. 1t made IAN mpres
sion on me at tho timo-but one torsetS
such things, Was it not SINGULAR
