AN IMPORTANT FAoT.-The amended In
ternal Revenue act was signed on the 18th
of July. By its provisions, in all cases where
the rate of taxation is increased or decreas-
ed, but taxation yet remains the law is to
go into effect on the first of August. But the
sections relating to the inpost upon whisky
effect until the first of September. The free
list, however, went into effect upon the pas
sage of the act to wit, July 18th From
that date all liability for taxation ceased up
on the articles named in the free list, which
are numerous, ranging from ''alum" down
to ''zinc." Familiarity with the free list,
is, therefore, indispensable to manufacturers
and in making the returns for articles now
exempted, liability to tax will cease with the
18th of July, inclusive.

Great Discovery in Paper Manufacture.
From the N. Y. Express July 24l


A statement, which we think reliable
from the Hydrostatic Paper Company. and
addressed to Paper Manufacturers, informs
us that the Patent Straw Paper which was
recently invented and put into operation at
the Genessee Paper Mills, and Niagara Falls
Paper Mills, accompanies a complete revo-
luton in the paper manufacturing business.
The apparatus, we are assured, is simple in
its construction, and may be applied to any
modern paper mill for less than one thous-
and dollars The following assurances are
also made; 1t dispenses with all washing en-
gines; two 400-pound heaters will prepare
stuff for five tons of paper day, and will
save one-half the expense in building new
paper mill. The straw is subdued and pre-
pared for the chlorine bleach without the
use of steam pressure-thus avoiding the
risk always attending the use of high
pressure upon boilers, and the principle is
equally applicable to wood, rags, bamboo, or
any other hbrous substance. The invention
also preserves the fibre in a sound state
makes stronger, clearer, whittier, and bet
ter paper from pure straw than can be made
from rags, and dispenses with the use of all
hard stock, while the paper is flexible, opaque
and takes better impression than rag pa
per. while it leaves the type clear from all
foreign substances Messrs Woodruff, Nc
Vean & Hastings, and S Pettibone, assure
us that the new boilers will save forty per
cent over any other known process, and they
state they get from ton of rye straw
twelve hundred pounds of newspaper, and
can bleach it with $50 lbs of soda ash, $50
lbs of bleaching powders, 225 lbs of linrr
using no acids or alum, and saving three
fourths of the fuel and one-third of the la
Dor; also getting five hundred pounds more
of paper from ton of straw than can be OBJ
tanned by the mellier or any other process
So great a revolution in the manufacture
ought also to work revolution in the price
of paper, but We see no signs of this at pres
ent.

congress

Nov we invite, we demand of our neighbor to
state an instance in which our position towards the
soldiers has been equivoca We ask him if we have
not always, and under all circumstances, devoted
ourself to the good, the happiness and the comfort
of every soldier, whether in the field at home
Have we not done our full share, every way ~
We clip the above from the Uuion of last
week Our neighbor seems to be very much
exercised, and is especially importunate
that we should state an instance, in which
his position towards the soldiers has been
equivocal, We have no personal dispute
with our neighbor. 1t is the principles he
advocates and the party he adheres to, that
we make war upon. We are willing to con-
cede to Mr.. Webster that he has been per
sonally all that he claims to have been, but
in doing so, we are compelled to say that
his position has aIa0ays ''been equivocal"
While he devoted himself as he says, Ito
the good, the happiness and the comfort of
every soldier" he also devoted himself to a
party that throughout the war heaped every
obIoquy upon the soldiers of the Union ar,
my.
One of the indisputable, self evident facts
of the late rebellion is, that the democrat
ic party, as party persistently and con
sistently labored against the war. In all its
party conventions, the Union soldiers were
stignatized as ''minions" and ''hireliDgs' of
the ''tyrant, Lincoln;" as butchers s'mur
derers," and other similar names AS par
ty, it persistently opposed the granting to
soldiers the privilege of voting AS party
it always voted against all appropriations
for paying the soldiers or for clothing and
feeding them The last national democratic
conversion at Chicago spent a week in de-
nouncipg the war and the soldiers. Such
has been the course of the democratic party
openly and brazenly, and Mr.. Webster has
never denounced or repudiated his party or
any of its acts. If he has served the soldiers
he has only demonstrated that man may
\serve two masters, notwithstanding the die
tum in the Good Book; SO far we think the
position of our neighbor is and has been
equivocal.
Of course there have been noble excan-
tions to this general rule of the party. There
have been democrats, who have denounced
the course of their party during the war and
who have been in turn denounced and d is
owned by the party. We have never heard
that our neighbor was one of them,
Have we sufficiently answered you, neigh
Dor?
We pause fora reply.
There were twenty cases OF cholera in New
York Tuesday. and sixteen in BROOKLYN.

The CranS in Wisconsin,

The editor of the Waukesha PIaiadeal-
er makes the following crop report:
"Within the last ten days we have trav-
eled some three hundred miles in Wisconsin
and are satisfied that we have never before
seen all kinds of light and coarse grains
looking so well as they do now. In 1860,
the spring wheat was sowa, at least, one
month earlier than it was this year, and, if
the weather continues favorable, the spring
wheat will yield from twenty to thirty BUSH
els to the acre. Rye is very stout, and the
most of it is ready for harvest. The corn is
rather late, but stands heavy, covering the
whole ground, and if the frost keeps off till
September, it will be very extra crop. Oats,
as usual, are remarkably good. The hay
crop is very heavy, and mostly secured.
esThe publishers Of the Portage Register
have addressed letters to persons in all parts
of that county in regard to the crops and
from the replies to these letters they come
to the conclusion that the wheat crop of the
county will be the largest that ever has been
harvested there, amounting to about l, 800,
900 bushels. They think the yield pei
acre will not be quite as large as in 1860
but there is greater breadth of ground
| sown.

"THE "SERvIcEs" OF THE DEMOCRATIC PAR
TY TO THE COUNTRY Harpey's Weekly, in an
article directed against the pretensions of Dem~
ocratic orators, who now claim for their party
the direction of the Government, has the fol-
lowing biting enumeration of the "services"
which the Democrats have performed to the
nation
What, then, are the services of the Democrat
ic party for which it should again be lntrusted
with the direction of the Government The his
tory of thirty years answers Its services con-
sists in having strengthened, by every appeal to
passion, ignorance and cowardice, the only arts
tocratic class in the United States. aud arts
tocracy founded upon the degradation OF labor.
Its service consists of Systematic debauchery
of the national conscience in fierce denial Of
the fundamental principle of the Repub iic-tbe
equaiit y of rights in attempt, under the
forms of law, and by means of blood and terror
to faeten slavery upon Kansas and when the
people, at last aroused TO the fearful truth, con-
stitutionally cast that party from power, its
GROWING service consists in rushing to arms,
and seeking, by the most desperate and pro-
longed struggle to overthrow the Government.
The Democratic party, whose conspiracy against
the equality of rights has been foiled, both In
the field and at the polls, turns to the Amer
lean people who have been its spectators and
victims, aud informs them that it is the only
safe and patriotic and conservative and concll-
iatory and Unon-loving party in the land.
