The Radicals Organized
for War.

We are informed that Judge
Houck, in a speech at Crippen's
Mill, on Saturday last, made this
statement:
Houck said that if a Conven-
ton was called in the State of
Tennessee for thepurpose of chang
ing. the State Government, he
could and would throw a regiment
into Knoxville within twenty-four
hours, and that any Convention of
the people for that purpose would
be dispersed.
Gen. Cooper also stated that if
there was to be another war, he
should notdo as he had done before.
That as far as he went he would
not leave anything behind. The
true meaning of which is, that
women and children, houses and
homes would share the same fate ;
complete destruction and oanihila-

CHARMING CoNsIsTENCY.-It

CHARMING CoNsIsTENCY.-It is
perfectly marvellous to witness
how affectionate the radical news
papers are now towards our "Irish
adopted citizens!" A little while
ago they could find no words of
contempt strong enough for these
same Irish; but, apprehending
that they may need the Irish vote
at the polls this fall, they sud-
denly cease their abuse and play
the toady to excess! Net long ago
they insisted that negro was bet
ter than an Irishman in every re-
spect; but now, and until after
the election, they are prepared to
make affidavit that an Irishman is
the noblest, the bravest, the ablest,
the best and the most intelligent
of all human beings. There is
nothing like the approach of an
election day to open the eyes even
of bigots.

JOHNSON'S FAITH.-Andrey

JoHNsoN's FAITH.-Andrew
Johnson's dispatch to Randall is
characteristic of the man. We
find the same great faith and un,
deviating purpose that have char
acterized him. 'The finger of
Providence is unerring and will
guide you safely through" "The
people must be trusted" "My
faith is mistaken" These ex-
pressions show the manner of
man Andrew Johnson is. They
have been his platform always
They have carried him to the sub
lime height from which he now
looks down upon q torn and dis,
tracted country. Faith in the
people is the6corner-stone of all
Republicanisna. Withoutit, moth
ing is left to US but tyranny. The
present Congress has no faith in
the people. The people have no
faith in it. In the President they
haze faith, and that faith being
mutual will give them the victory
over the unfaithtul.

The"States ofthe Church

There is some reason to believe
that the papal states will soon be
an integral part of the kingdom
of Italy. In fact, King Victor
Emmanuel is about to open nego-
tiations with the Holy Father for
their cession, and as Napoleon will
soon withdraw the French troops
from Rome, and leave Pho Mono
to the exclusive protection of his
people, the latter will have no al
tentative, we apprehend, but to
yield Rome to the exacting Victor
Emmanuel, who, in consequence
of former acts of disobedience,
now lies, if we mistake not, under
the pontifcal ban.
So ends the Popedom as tempo
raj power in Italy. 1t has had a
long lease of authority. For sew
en- centuries its incumbents may
be said to have trod upon the
necks of kings. 1t is now thou
sand years, or thereabouts,- since
Charlemagne, King of France and
Emperor Of Germany, gave Rome
to the Popes-previously known
as bishops-and it soon atterward
became the seat of papal govern
ment. All dramas must have their
denouement, and the magnificent
drama of the papacy, SO far as its
material grandeur is concerned,
draws near its close. The spirit
ual as well as the political inhu-
ence of the pontifcate has long
been on the wane, and few of the
monarchs of Christendom would
now quail before anathemas that
once toppled down thrones and
drove their occupants forth from
their palaces to herd, like Nebu-
chadnazer, with the beasts of the
field.

BILE vexation and embarrassment
in drinking egg-nog or buttermilk,

Decision Of the Com
missioner Of Internal
Revenue.
The following decisions have re-
Gently been given by the Com
missioner of Internal Revenue at
Washington. They are important
to farmers, in SO far as they untan-
gle some Of the knotty points of
law:
/. Farmers will not be required
to make return of produce con-
sumed in their own immediate
families.
2. The farmers profits from
sales of live stock are to be found
by deducting from the gross re-
ceipts of animals sold, the pur-
chase money paid for the same
If animals have been lost during
the year by death or robbing, the
purchase money paid for such ami
mails may be deducted from the
gross income of the farm.
8. No deduction can be made by
the farmer for the value of servi-
ces rendered by his minor children,
whether he actually pay for such
services or not. If his adult chill.
dren work for him and receive
compensation for their labor, they
are to be regarded as 'other hired
laborers in determining his in
come.
4. Money paid for labor, except
such as is used or employed in do
mestic service, or in the produc'
ton of articles consumed in the
family of the producer, may be
deducted.
B. No deduction can be al.
lowed in any case for the cost of
unproductive labor. If house ser.
wants are employed a portion of
the time in producing labor, such
as the making of butter and cheese
for sale, proportionate amount
of the wages paid them may be
deducted.
6. Expenses for ditching and
clearing new land are plainly ex.
penses for permanent improve.
ments, and not deducted.
7. The whole amount expended
for fertilizers applied during the
year to the farmers lands may be
deducted, but no deduction is al
lowed for fertilizers produced on
the farm. The cost of seed pur-
chased for sowing and planting
may be deducted.
8. Ifa person sells timber stand
ing, the profits are to be ascertain
ed by estimating the value of the
land after the removal of the tim.
Der, and from the sum thus obtain.
ed deducting the estimated value
of the land on the first day of Jan.
uary, 1862, or on the day of pur-
chase, if since that date.
9. Where no repairs have been
made by the taxpayer upon any
building owned by him during the
preceding five years, nothing can
be deducted for repairs made du'
ring the year for which his income
is estimated.
10. A farmer should make re-
turn of all his produce sold within
the year, but a mere executory
contract for sale is not a sale; de-
livery, either actual or construct.
i've, is essential. The criterion by
which to judge whether a sale is
complete or not is to determine
whether the vendor still retains in
that character Alright over the prop
erty; if the property were lost or
destroyed, upon which of the par
ties, in the absence of any other
relation between them than that
of the vendor and vendee, would
