H E. D L YtS HISTORY
OF THE
G REAT REBELLION.


TNHE late Rebellion stands out peculiar and
MAGNIFICENT SCALE upon which the war has
been CONDUCTED, constitute it one of the
GRANDEsT AND MOST BRILLIANT CHAP
TIERS IN THE WORLDS HISTORY.
Mr.. Headley, of all writer's, is perhaps best
qualified to portray the stupendous features
of the mighty contest. His previous works
on less momentous themes have placed him
in the first position, as a graphic AND POWER
Full DELINEAToR OF wAR SCENES AND HARAC
TIERS, and the magnitude and grandeur of the
present subject, impart to his pen the fire and
vigor of a get more exalted inspiration, and
furnish ample scope for the HIGHEST ExH1BI-
TIoN OF HIS PECULIAR GENIUS FOR MILITARY DE-
scRIPTIoN. Under his powerful pen the stir
ring scenes of the Wa pass in review with
the vividness and distinctness of a present
and living reality; while his GREAT TALENT FOR
CONDENSATION enables him to embody every
thing of importance in A COMPASS JUST SUITED
TO THE PUBLIC WANT. From no other source
can so CLEAR AND COMPREHENSIVE IN IMPRESSION
OF THE GRAND MARCH OF EVENTS be obtained, so
easily and agreeably, as from Mr.. Headley's
work.
The Second Volume, completing the Work,
(also complete in ONE y~oLUME,) will be issued
in March, 1866. Agents wanted to engage in
its sale in every town in the United States.
Its rapid and unparalleled sale holds out to
INDUSTRIOUS and PERsBvEkING men the most
satisfactory INDUCEMENTS, and guarantees to
them LARGER PROFITS, than they can obtain
from any other book or from almost any 9th
er employment.
Agents now in the field are meeting with
astonishing success.

Stamp Duties.

As the Internal Revenue Law in regard to
stamp duties is not generally understood, and
much inconvenience and actual loss to par
ties result therefrom, we publish below a
carefully prepared statement of the law, in
regard to every day transactions. This state
ment may be relied upon as correct, having
been prepared for the Johnstown Tribune by
R. II. Canan,- ESQ.,, clerk to the Collector of
Internal Revenue for that District. Cut it
out for preservation.
AGREEMENT or contract, for each sheet of
paper on which the same is written, requires
a Eve cent stamp.
BANK CHECK, without regard to the amount,
two cents. An order drawn on any other per-
son or persons, company or corporation, for
any sum over $40, requires a 2 cent stamp.
BONDS of Constables, Supervisors, or any
other public officers, require a 81 stamp, and
bonds indemnifying any sum of money re-
quire a SO cent stamp for every thousand dol
lars or fractional part thereof,
PRoMIssoRy NoTEs, due bills, &C., require a
5 cent stamp when the amount is not over
$10e. If between 500 and $500, a 10 cent
stamp, and an increase of 5 cents for every
500 or fractional part Of the same. No diff.
ference how small the amount of the note, it
requires a S cent stamp, Under the present
law, the amount of the stamp is regulated by
the amount of the note, and not by the time
of which it is given.
DEEDs.-Where the consideration is less
than $500, a SO cent stamp is required; when
over $500 and not over $1,000, a 81 stamp.and
an additional so cent stamp for every $500 or
fractional part thereof

quiree a 80 cent stamp if the rent does not
exceed $500 per year. When the rent ex-
ceeds $500, q so cent stamp is required for
each additional $500 or fractional part thereof
Leases for farms on the shares, and leases for
coal and oil lands must be stamped according
to the estimated yearly rental. All such leases
should be presented to the collector of the
district, who is Authorized to estimate the
rental and afix the appropriate stamp.
MORTGAGES require the anne stamp as
deeds.
RECEIPTS for any sum over $50 require a 2
cent stamp, except receipts in satisfaction Of
any mortgage, judgment or decree Of any
court. The same stamp is required on a re-
ceipt for the delivery of any property.
PowE2 OF ATTORNEY to receive or collect
rents, requires a Is cent stamp. To sell OF
convey, or rent, or lease real estate, a 81
stamp; for any other purpose, 80 cents.
CERTIFICATES AND AFFIDAvITs require a !
cent stamp. Justices of the Peace should
bear in mind that is their duty to afix and
cancel the stamp on all afidavits made before
them. except when taken, in suits or lega
proceedings.
Pos7AeE STAMPS cannot be used.
1t is the duty of the maker of the instru
ment to afix and cancel the stamp. A failure
to do so subjects him to a heavy penalty.
When two or more persons join in the exc
cation of an instrument, any one of them car
afix and cancel the stamp.

(CoxclwsiOx.)

Ihurs0ay morning, 10tn, seVerai
officers from the Shan,okia, an Amer
ican man-of.war lying in theharbor
of Rio, came to visit US. Before
leaving, these gentlemen invited the
ladies Of our party to visit their ship.
On the following morning, most Of
the ladies were in readiness, when
boats were sent by the politeness Of
the commander of the Shdmokin, who,
with his brother officers, received us
with great courtesy. Two hours
passed delightfully."- in conversation
and the examination of the ship.
Everything was in that perfect order
and cleanliness which is, I believe,
characteristic of Government ships.
The reception of so many American
ladies at foreign port was novel
event. The gentlemen protested
that it was great treat to them-it
certainly was to us.
The ship Onvard, an American
receiving ship, was also in this har-
Dor. The officers of this ship gave
Mr.. Mercer and party of six ladies'
an invitation to dine with them OH
shipboard. The invitation was for
the afternoon of this day, and as l
had the good fortune to be a recipi-
ent of it, I took good care to return
in the first boat from the Shamokin.
The Onwnrd lay at anchor about two
miles and half from the Continental.
We enjoyed this long boat ride.
Having been duly presented to our
hosts, we passed a few moments in
conversation. Dinner was then an
nounced. We found that the gentle
men had removed their dining table
to the open deck, and had enlarged
and adorned it by the various little
exredients so readily suggested by
unusual events. 1t was nicely shad-
ed by awnings, under which, having
been disposed in the most social
manner, we partook, of the substan-
tials and delicacies provided for the
our inner man. At one end of the
board eat our friend Chester; at the
other Lieut.. Cook. At the right
hand of the latter, sat your CORES.

The ROBERT E. LEE.-This new
and splendid steamer passed here on
Sunday morning last, at a very
early hour-too early to permit more
than q very few of our citizens to
get glance of her. She had some
700 bales of cotton on board, and
took on about 100 more at our land
ing, which were shipped by Messrs.
Archer & Garig. She left Louisville
on the Sunday morning Of the pre-
vious week, and spent considerable
time in stopping along the way in
order to crafty the curiosity of the
thousands who went on board of her
to inspect her. She lay at Natchez
all day on Saturday, and made the
trip from there here in nine hours,
under a moderate head of steam.
ALI accounts represent the &. E
Lee as without an equal on the river,
in point of speed or magnifcence
and she does honorto her commander,
Capt. Cannon, for whom she was
constructed.
The dimensions of the Lee are as
follows: Length of Hull, 800 feet;
beam, 46 feet hold, 81 feet; ex-
treme width, Sc feet. The guards
are Is feet wide, decks very high,
and. with her depth of hold she can
stow 5000 bales of cotton without at
all encroaching upon the cabin or
upper guards. Her full capacity is
equal to 1000 bales or about 1900
tons. Her cost exceeded 100000
The Lee will take her place as a
passenger and freight packet be-
tween New Orleans, Vicksburg and
the bends-the trade for which shs
was expressly built.

Important Correspondence.

We are advised by the telegraph
of a recent correspondence which has
transpired between President John
son and Attorney General Stanbery,
giving their views regarding the
justice and feasibility of granting to
Jefferson Davis an early and impair
tial trial before the bar of his coun-
try. There is no doubt in the world,
Of the anxiety and desire both of
President johnson and Mr.. Stanbery
to extend such a right to the distin-
guished State prisoner, and there is
just as little doubt that the right
would have long since been ac-
corded, but for the persistent oppo-
sition and thwarting schemes of those
high and low in Office and out of
Office, who, guided by implacable
prejudices, seem bent on immolating
Mr.. Davis upon the altar of their
madness.
Mr.. Stanbery, in answer to Presi-
dent Johnson's request for his opin-
ion as to what steps should be taken
with a view to speedy, public and
impartial trial of the accused, re-
views the case at length and sug-
gests that an order be issued to the
commandant of Fortress Monroe to
surrender the prisoner to civil Gus
tody whenever demanded by the Z.
S. Marshal, upon process from the
Federal courts. He is clearly of the
opinion that there is nothing in the
present condition of Virginia to pre-
vent the full exercise of the jurisdic-
ton of the civil courts. He has
never had any doubt, he says, but
that the prisoner would be delivered
to the U. S. Marshal of the district
whenever be should have demanded
him on a capias, or any other civil
process.
It is therefore to be hoped that
any further delay in the trial Of Mr..
Davis will be cut short by the action
intended to be based upon the views
thus expressed. he has suffered
enough in his durance, Heaven
knows, to have appeased the wrath
of his direst enemies, and Constitu-
tional justice as well as the natural
rights of man cry aloud in the face
of the civilized world against a pro
longation of the treatment to which
his life has already been we'll nigh
sacrificed.
