INCOME TAXES. The Commissioner of
Internal Revenue has decided that all i'll
come faxes paid in 1864 are proper de-
auctions from income of that year. AS
sessments made by the municipal corpo-
rations for the laying out or grading OF
streets, the construction of walks, sew
ers, &C., may be deducted from income
where they are laid upon all taxpayers
within the corporation; but, if they are
laid only upon the owners of property
supposed to be increased in value by the
improvement, no deduction can be al
lowed. All town and county taxes, in
Guiding taxes assessed for raising SOL
diers, may be deducted.

from the Southern army are hunted down

those who have gained the ascendency
during the war. In Cabell, Logan,

dashed into and down Fifth street, yelp-

caused two horses to rim away. Such
sport is entirely too dangerous to be car

but this is the substance Of the remArkabls
aud significant speech, There is no reason
to suppose that the President differs with the

we may take it for granted that President

at the North which need reforming in order
to the permanence aud the peace OF the
