The Draft in this District,

The Milwaukee Wisconsin, of Tuesday
last, speaking as if by authority, says:
The draft for men under the late call of
the President for 300 600 men commenced
yesterday in this congressional district, and
will be continued from time to time The
draft is made from such towns and sub-dis-
tricts as are making no effort to fill their
quota by volunteers. Such wards and towns
as are making any successful effort to fill
their quota, will be left at work for the pres
ent.
The names of the districts drafted and the
names of the drafted men, will not be pub
lished as heretofore. Much fault has been
found with the Provost Marshal heretofore.
because publicity was given to the lists, and
thus an opportunity given to stockholders
The proper officers will serve the notices
now, before the public will know of the re-
suit of the draft

The Income Tax for 1861.

AS the people are now paying their ex-
ira incumcoe taxes for 1868, it may be inter
esting to note those which will become due
on the income Of 1864. The pending leg
islation of Congress in reference to the in
come tax will not affect these payments as
the law establishing them was approved in
June last. What Congress may do now,
will only have effect on the income tax ac-
cruing after 1864 The following are the
chief points of difference between the in
comes assessed in 1868 and those of 1864.
Under the law of June last, the new scale
Of taxation is-on incomes between 5000
and $1,000, the tax vii be Eve per cent.
over 50, 600 to $4,000 seven per cent; all
incomes over $40, 900, Ten per cent. In all
cases there is an exemption of 5000, but
this Is the on + exemption from the aggre-
gate incomes of family, which consists OF
OF parents and minor children, or a husband
and wife, except in cases where the income
of the wife or child may be derived from a
separate source.
The following further deductions are al
so to be made
The income to be derived from the divi-
dends of all corporations and the interests
upon their bonds and debts, where previous
Iy assessed the rent of a homestead or the
valued rental when it is owned the amount
paid for hired labor in carrying on business;
rents Of places of business; the amount paid
for repairs, if it does not exceed the average
of the previous five years; money paid as
interest on membranes on real estate; and
all national, State and municipal taxes, ex-
cept the income taxes.
On the other hand, to the income lists,
as made up for the year 1863, the following
additions are to be made:
Net profits on real estate bought or sold,
are counted as income. whose losses are to
be deducted; ali gains from the purchase
and sale of stocks or other property, inclu-
ding agricultural products, and the profits
from all companies not specified in the law
are exempt, that IS, that pay no tax on divi
bends, and also the interest on notes, bond;
and other securities Of the United States, auC
the interest due over aud above the amount
of interest paid upon all mortgages, bonds
notes and other indebtedness, if co!lectahle
are included and reckouod as income
This comprises the alterations IN the Law
both additions TO and deductions from til,
list, on the scale of 1865. These taxes will
be levied in May and be payable, June 80
1865.

an account of a meeting in Pleasant Prairie
at which they voted tax of 5000 for each

to enlist for one year, and come down to

AT an ljourned meeting of the committee

Resol0ed, That the solemn pledges given
to the Government by the people of the city

deemed with fidelity and honor, and that
after four years of bloody conflict, when the
majesty OF the laws has been indicated and

tions of grateful people.

leans, Memphis, Vicksburg, Nashville, Saw.
annah, Columbia, Charleston and Whining
ton, freed from the terrors of insurgent arms

ing care of the government, it is our duty tC
teach them by example and acts of kindness

than to spurn it's control.
Resolred, That the people of the city o
New York do hereby invite the corporation
Of every loyal municipality i'll the Union, tc
unite in general celebration Of the success
es of the Union arms, on Saturday, the 4tl

"A SAD WANT.--The Oshkosh Northeastern
which by the way is a wide-awake and for
the most part sensible paper, says: ''What
Oshkosh most needs is capital in the hands

are forced to the conclusion that Oshkosh
needs editors, as well as business men, 'who

The man who cannot see that it is for the

who encourages and advocates the ,oIicy of
building up and euriching a foreign mann

not blessed with visual organs cap able of
seeing TO the end of his nose unless it be a
very short one.
AS well might he insist that the grant of
Land for State University in Wisconsin
shall be bestowed upon the Michigan Uni

posous and popular than our own. just now.

1t seems to US the hight of folly for one
portion of State to array itself against an
other, and then attempt to compensate it
self by attaching its pecuniary interests te
another State. The State is and must be a
unit in all its interests, in the long run. All
the trade and traffic the n w. Road can

In REeARDTo Torn POSTAL CURRENCY.
Those of our readers who are in the habit of
doing business at the Postoflice understand
doubtless the strictness with which the rule
prohibiting the clerks from receiving torn
or mutlated notesm payment for postage
stamps, &c IS carried out. Notwithstanding
all this, it appears that unless when the
lnutilatiou extends beyond a. certain limit,
torn or detaeed notes cannot be legally re-
fused. Alluding to the subject, the United
States MailEthe official paper Of the Post
Ofhce Department, says;
''Postmasters are obliged to- receive all
treasury notes for stamps or hostages, if
clearly genuine no matter how torn or de-
faced they may be, provided that one TWEEN
tIeth part thereof he not missing-and frac-
tional currency. if not one tenth part be

Two WONDERFUL PIECES OF CABINET
Work FOR PRESIDENT AND MRS. LINCOLN
There are in this city at present. two pieces
of artistic cabinet work, which are perfect
marvels in the way Of beauty and mechani-
cal execution. They are the handiwork CT
Mr.. Peter Glass, a resident OF tue town of
Scott, in Sheboygan county, and We're made
for Mr.. r. G. Brazleton, of the same town,
for the purpose Of presentation to Mr. and
Mrs. Lincoln.
They are gifts worthy of the ruler of the
great Republic, and rejecting the highest
credit on the mechanical genius and artistic
taste of MIR. Glass One is an ordinarily
sized centre table, of octagonal form, which
is composed of tl2eaty thousand different
pieces of wood The top has beautiful
and graceful border, made of black walnut
and white holly about three and half in
ches wide Within this are perfect repre-
sensations of our most beautiful birds, faith
full likenesses of Lincoln, johnson. Grant,
and Butler, baskets of the rarest flowers and
fruits, and other designs in most excellent
taste. No verbal description can give any
adequate idea Of the grand effect Of this
wonderful composition in wood. 1t is a per
feet picture. Six months labor was requir-
in its completion, and its value is $1,000
The workstand for Mrs. Lincoln, is got up
with similar elaborateness, contains 1000
pieces, is finished with every conceivable
convenience aud cost two months of pa
tient labor Before taking these magnifi-
cent presents to Washington, the donor pro-
poses to place them on exhibition in this
and other cities for a short time They can
be seen for three days at the office immedi-
ately in the rear Of Emmon's & VanDyke,

Rebels in SaCkClOth.

The Richmond Wing is out for day of
real fasting and prayer. 1t wants the
people to actually fast and pray with more
earnestness and solennity than they ever be-
fore exhibited, and see whether there is re-
ally any virtue in the performance. After
all the bloodshed; misery and destruction Of
life and loss of property that the Whig and
the people it advises to fast and pray, have
causelessly and needlessly and wickedly oc-
casioned, for no other reason than that they
might make sJGg8ry-the sum of all wick
edness and all villainy-perpetua, as the
chief corner stone Of their confederacy, it
seems like the worst kind of mockery to
talk Of propitiating just God and securing
his favor for the consumation of their wick
edness. Have they not forgotten the dec

be remembered that God was just The
Richmond Wing and its co laborers for sla-
very, seem to have forgotten that fact, or
they would be calling upon the rocks and
mountains to cover them from the vengeance
of just God,
The Wing says edltorially ''In view Of
the fact that our position as people is crit
ical, it is respectfully suggested that all per-
sons III the Contederacy observe Friday, the
10th day OF March, appointed as day of
fasting and prayer, with more earnestness
and solemnity than has yet been manifested
and to that end il is proposed first that all
churches shall have at least three public
services the first early in the morning, the
second at eleven o'clock, and the third in
the afternoon or night; second, that such
churches as can will keep their doors open
and the services in operation without inter
mission during the whole day, the ministers
relieving one another, and the people going
and coming as they may need; third, that
the country churches protract their services
through four or five hours; fourth, that the
people really humble themselves and by all
means eat no more food than may be neces-
sary to keep up their health; fifth, that all
light conversation and unbecoming amuse-
ment be discarded, and the day be truly Oh
served as day Of humiliation. If there be
any virtue in a day of fasting and prayer, it
should be observed as the bible directs
Heretofore many have kept it as a mere holt
day. This cannot be expected to elicit Gods
blessing. Our condition is now such that
triaing is madness. If we give all our time
and hearts to it for that one day, we may
look for a great blessing"
