The National Revenue.

The receipts of the general goF-
ernment this year will largely exceed
the amount paid into the treasury
last year. The actual receipts for
the first three quarters Of the fisical
year, that is up to April lst, were
S410,041, ,292, of which amount $685.
967, 1915 were raised from customs,
S243, 1870, ,54S from internal revenue,
and s37, ,ls3, ,309 from miscellaneous
sources. The estimate for the pres
ent quarter is, customs thirty mil
lions, internal revenue sixty millions,
miscellaneous sources one million
and half, making grand total for
the fiscal year ending June Soth, of
S501, ,541,232 against 1925, ,567, , ,126
for the year ending June 30th, 1865.
This is q very handsome increase
over last year, and certainly presents
our national finances in very favor
able light. But in all probability
the highest point has been reached,
and il fact 1t is net anticipated that
the receipts of next year will equal
those of the present year. The es-
innate made by the revenue CON-
mission puts the receipts for next
year at about four hundred and TWEEN
ty-five millions, less than this year
by considerable, but still enough and
more than enough to meet all the ex
penses of the government, including
the payment of the annual interest
on the national debt. In fact The
secretary of the treasury only asks
for three hundred and fifty mil
lions, and although our national debt
is large, and the payment of it must
necessarily subject our people to
heavy taxation for many years to
come, yet considering the ease with
which we have thus far met all our
financial engagements, and taking
into view also the rapidly increasing
wealth and resources of the country,
We certainly have no occasion to be
discouraged at the prospects. A
broken-down political party may at
tempt to make capital by the cry ef
'shaaYy taxation" and bankrupt
nation" but the peopi e VIII. spared
neither life nor treasure to put down
the rebellion, will come up TO the
work, shoulder to shoulder, and meet
each payment Of the national debt as
fast IS it becomes due.

E Cincinnati is making great ex.

@ Cincinnati is making great ex.
ertions to raise 1000, 900 as bonus
for more direct railroad connec-
ton with Charleston, s. C. The
building Of such a road is looked
upon by her capitalists and business
men as of great importance to the
commercial interests Of the city.
Such it would, no doubt, prove. But,
now thst it is almost certain that the
Coviugton and Ohio railroad will be
built, would it not also be for their
interest 10 have that road brought in
connection with the Marietta and
Cincinnati road via the Kanawha
valley, instead Of being connected
with the Kentucky roads by way of
Sandy. 1t would give them not only
the shortest route to the sea-board,
but to Washington city. We do
not desire, however, now to discuss
the advantages Of this route, even to
Cincinnati, but simply to call the at
tention of the press Of that city to the
subject, well knowing, that upon in
vestigation and consultation OF their
maps, they cannot fail to be struck
with its importance, and give it their
moral influence if no more.

~ The Hon. John NJ. Bolts has
addressed letter to the members of
Congress, in which he gives his rea.
sons for being opposed to the plan of
reconstruction, reported by the CON-
mittee of fifteen, and which passed
the House q short time since. He
considers it too lenient--unjust to
the Union men of the South, in that
it leaves them and the State Govern
ments in the hands of the rebels, who
will improve the opportunity to edu-
cate the people to more embittered
spirit of disafection and disloyalty,
and thus depopulate the South of Its
truly loyal population. He would
have none but loyal men in Office,
both State and National-that every
person, who was over the age of
twenty-five at the breaking out Of the
rebellion, and voluntarily took up
arms against the Government, or in
any manner gave aid and encourage
ment to the rebellion, either in civil
or military capacity, shall not for ten
years be capable of holding any Office
IN Federal or State Governments.
And he proposes that Congress shall
do this by legislative enactment in
the form Of an oath to be taken by
all elected or appointed TO Office.
He intimates that such plan might
receive the sanction of the President,
but if not, it should be carried by q
two third vote.

understand that the company intend to
finish the work in two years. Indeed,
we learn that the arrangements made
sre in every respect satisfactory 10 the
Commissioners, both from this State

every one must approve. We have
not learned all the names Of the parties

is an unmistakable sound of gold about
these names, as well as an assurance
that what they undertake to do viii not
only be done, but will be well done

endorsement in an intelligent eommu.
nifty. are the same. we have understood
whom the enterprising business meu
of this city had in view last winter
when they spilled for a charter fol-

the outlay will be some twelve million

The Mormon Question.
Truly Your Friend,
JOHN HALL.

Now that the great rebellion of the
slave power Of the South has been
crushed, attention is again being
drawn to the Mormon question, which
q few years ago threatened us with
serious troubles. The war of civil.
zatiens and religions still goes on
sharply in Utah. A large population
from the States has settled in that
territory, and their numbers are con-
stsntly increasing, who are strongly
opposed to the Mormon hierarchy
and their peculiar doctrine Of poly
gsmv, and are warring against them
with all the influences and arguments
st their command. This population,
together with vast amount Of east
ern capital, have been attracted to
Utah by It's valuable mines Of gold
and silver, and once there It natur-
afly falls into relations antsgonistic
to the Mormon church and State gov.

EThe grand iurv of the United


S The grand jury of the United
States Circuit Court at Norfolk have
brought in an indictment against
Jefferson Davis for treason, and he
will, in all probability, be soon ar
raigned at Richmond for trial. AL
ready this indictment is beginning to
call forth expressions Of opinion
from the Southern press, none Of
which seem to be conscious OF the
fact that such crime as treason ex-
lists in our country. The Macon
Daily Telegraph asks the Norfolk
papers TO publish the names Of these
grand jurors, who had the audacity
to find true bill for treason against
that exalted patriot" Jefferson Ds-
Wis, feeling sure that they could not
be born Virginisns. A correspon-
dent of the Philadelphia Press fur
nishes information touching the an
tecedents Of the jury, which well an
swers the inquiry of the Macon Tel
egraph. This correspondent says:
"Thev are all Virginisns, and many
of them have suffered in person and
property at the hands of the rebel
leaders. Five of the jurors we're i'm
prisoned in Castle Thunder during
the rebellion for refusing to sub
scribe allegiance to the rebel usur-
patton. AS might be expected, these
gentlemen belong to that class known
as Southern Radicals"
This approaching trial Of the great
leader of secession and standard
bearer ofthe rebellion has also elici-
ted howl from the Richmond rebel
press. The Examiner, in a burst of
Indignation, disposes of the matter
of follows:
"When the man whom we placed
at the head of our undertaking shall
he tried for his share in that Of which
We were all partakers-most Of US
more willing, perhaps, than he-eve-
ry ore will keenly feel that it is only
for him that is without ofense to
cast the first stone. More than that,
all will be ready to repel the charge
Of treason with indignant emotions.
Allegiance was due only 10 the State,
and any duty arising from the Union
only bound the individual through
the State. The State absolysd sll
obligations beyond her at her will,
and all who obey the State did moth
ing but what patriotism justified.
The people believed this doctrine be-
fore the war, and force has not
changed their convictions. Courts
may instruct, but as juries here have
always exercised the right to Judge
the law, even in q matter Of dollars
and cents, they will not forego that
privilege in q trial that involves the
life Of their representative man and
the common homer Of individuals and
of States. The committee-the
whole world-may rest confident
that Virginia gentlemen can under no
circumstances consent that Jefferson
Davis be made the scapegoat of q
whole people. No, nsser."

ernment. The presence and intiu-
ence OF the army stationed IN the
territory bsTe also had q demoraliz-
ing effect upon the peculisr institu-
lions Of Mormondom, and have un-
doubtedly turned many of the fair
ssints from he error Of their ways,
and the action of the administration
at Washington in removing promi-
nent pelygamous Mormons from i'm
portsnt federal Offices in the territory,
and putting active and influential
"Gentiles" in their places, is having
an excellent effect. IL the very
hesrt Of Mormonism, in Great Salt
Lake CITY itself, Rev. Mr. Mcleod,
the Gentle preacher, has been de-
livering series Of evening lectures
against polygamy, which drew crowd
ed audiences, including many adhe-
rents OF the Mormon faith. All these
varied influences are steadily st work,
tending to sap the strength of the
Mormon power and TO weaken the
faith fits followers in the truth of
the doctrines upon which it its found
ed. The agencies Mt work to bring
about this desired reformation, are
the aggressive spirit Of the anti-mor-
mon population in their midst, the
determined policy of the government
officials located in the territory 10
csrry out fully the spirit and the in
tent of the laws of the nation, the
valuable discoveries OF mineral
wealth in the territory, all tending to
attract thither capital snd population
from sll parts of the country, and
the construction Of the Pacific Rail
road, which, when complete, will
bring civilization and the true relig-
ION to their very doors. And we may
therefore confidently anticipate, that
the combined power Of these various
agencies will soon work out the de-
struction of this gigantic wrong,
which has hitherto existed only by
reason of its isolation.

CHARLESTON, WEST VA.
Nav 2lst, 1866.

NAAhLhsIOh. w boI a
May 2lst, 1866.
As you pass up the KanaEha river,
just below the Mouth of Poca, you
will notice quite a thriving little vii,
lage, which has sprung up during the
past year almost as if by magic. 1t
lies in Putnam county, twenty miles
below Charleston, and forty miles
above the mouth OF the Kanawha
river. It's name, Raymond City, be-
ing so called in honor of Henry J.
Raymond, proprietor aud editor Of
the New York Times, and now q
member of Congress from New York.
This is the commencement OF an eu-
terprise, which not only promises
rich returns TO those who have EN-.
barked in it, bat will also materially
add to the wealth and prosperity Of
all this section of country. 1t is the
property Of the "Averill Coal and
Oil Company" who have purchased
= large qusntity Of valuable Coal
land In that vicinity, and sre pro
ceeding to develop this property as
rapidly as possible. The parties en-
gagged in this enterprise are men of
wealth, who are able and will push
it through 70 success. Among the
largest stock holders are Mess. Je
rome and Riggs, Of the firm of
Jerome, Riggs & Co., Bankers of
New York City, Henry J. Raymond,
Paul S. Forbes, VIM. ". Averlli late
cavalry general in the United
States Army, D. J. Averill, II. F.
Averill and other prominent men.
The vein of Coal, which it is pro-
posed to open first, is situated be-
tween two and three miles back from
the river, on Pocs Creek. The mine
is 10 be connected with the river BIZ q
railroad, which is now slmost CON-
pleted. The compsny have expen-
ded thus far 100000, in the develop
ment Of this property, and it is esti
mated that the expenditure of Sl0,-
600 more will put them in q condi
tion TO commence shipping Coal to
market. The Coal is of a superior
quality, and the property being sit.
uated so far down the river, the com-
pany will be free from most of those
difficulties in the navigation OF the
river, to which companies higher up
are subjected. The work of develop
ing their property is just now tenn
porarily suspended, owing to q dis
pute which has arisen among the
stockholders. 1t seems to have
originated in an attempt on the part
of several of the stockholders in New
York TO reorganize the company, and
by so doing to oust the Averills.
This suspension however will only
be temporary.
This little State is just now polii-
c0Ily in state of great agitation. AT
the Spring election next Thursday,
the Constitutional amendment dis
franchising rebels will be submitted
to the people for ratification or rejec-
ton. The last Legislature passed &
rigid Registry law, by the provisions
ofwhich no one can vote at this cleo
tion who has participated in the late
rebellion in any manner, shape or
form. Under the operation Of this
Law, the amendment will surely be
adopted. West Virginia is decidedly
an unhealthy place for rebels. If
any Of that unfortunate class Of indi
viduals are still wandering around IN
search of their rights, they would do
wei! to inquire anywhere rather than
here. Sd"

S DIR. B. Newland has been on
trial at New Albany, Indiana, for q
week or more, for the murder OF
Professor Evans. The trial termi
mated Tuesday week, and resulted in
the scquital of DR.. Newland. This
trial has created considerable inter
est, as il involved the question OF
justi6able killing. The circumstan
ces of the case are substantially
these: The deceased was a clergy
man, in charge Of Female Seminary
at Terre Haute, where the daughter
of the defendant was placed, while
her father was in the army as sur
geon of one Of the Indiana regiments
While there, the ruin Of the daugh.
ter was effected, and upon her lathers
return from the army she revealed to
him her situation, and charged Pro-
fessor Evans with having accom-
plished it, which led to the killing OF
the offender at the hands of the
father. The defence admitted the
killing, and relied wholly on the
plsa of insanity, which appears not
to have been very satisfactorily es-
tablished, and the jury seem to have
decided the case more upon the
general principle Of the right OF a
father to kill the sedueer than npon
that of insanity. Of course, the YER
dict was in violation of law and evil
dence, but it is difficult, under such
circumstances, to find a jury who
would have rendered different de
cision.
