MilrOy at Front Royal.

This creature, not admonishedby
the animus showed towards him
by the people Of Frederick county,
concluded to penetrate farther In
to the interior Of the Old Domin-
ion: and on Wednesday made a
visit to Front Royal. At that
place his presence excited the same
disgust exhibited in Winchester.
One gentleman, providing him
self with a spoon, approached
Milroy, when the following con-
versation ensued:
Citizen-"General, allow me
to present you with a spoon"
Milroy-"What do you mean,
sir. Do you mean to insult meg'
Citizen-"Oh no, sir. We on
ly thought we would give you one
to prevent your stealing the bal
ance."
Milroy--"You are mistaken in
the man, sir. Ris General But1e'
you are thinking Of"
Citizen-"Not at all, sir. You
stole Mrs Logan's spoons, and we
would not have YOU forget it."
Things getting too hot for the
General, he 'fell back" like he
did from Winchester when Ewel
was after him-WncheSter Times

is blighted with shadows from the wings
of war, and that irretrievable ruin is
upon u.s. The wish is father to the
thought. With all the power they pos
sess, designing villains. to subserve and
party personal ends are endeavoring to
throw the wheels ofgovernment from the
path of progress and prosperity, by vio-
lating its faith, and placing it before
the world a bankrupt and defaulter.
With economy, anti-taxation, and con
stitutionality stolen for their watch
words, they are pursuing the course
that must inevitably bring ruin, distress
and perhaps disruption upon the land
now in the full possession of every re-
quisite to continuous welfare. This cry
of oppressive taxes. tyrannous military
despotism. and unconstitutionality of
laws will deyelopin the financial issue,

the leading question of the pending cam

REVENUE COLLECTIONS.

The following, which we presume to
be circular addressed to all Internal
Revenue collectors, has been received by
Mr.. Langford, and evinces a determine
ton on the part of the Government to
punish the frauds so extensively perpe-
trated on the Government, with a pen
atty more severe than the mere forfeit
ure of portion of the gains in evading
the statutes. The manufactures are so
limited and the payment so complete
and voluntary in Montana, that the most
rigid application of the law would scarce
ly result in year in single instance
of the kind of punishment contempla-
ted in these instructions. However, it
may be well enough to make public the
purpose of the department.

OFFICE OF THERMAL REVENUE

OFFICE OF THERMAL REVENUE
WASHINGTON, Oct. 81, 1867.
SIR desire to call your attention
not only to the great importance of rig
idly enforcing the laws against often
ders but of enforcing them in the man
ner best calculated to secure their OBJ
ject.
1t is believed that the practice too
much prevails of prosecuting with q
view to the imposition of pecuuiary pen
alties alone In many cases the inflic-
tion of such penalty is very little pun
ishment-insuficient even for deterring
the offender from repitition of his of
fense.
Forfeiture of property and the imposi-
ton of fines seem to be regarded by
many persons as affecting delinquent's
property rather than his character, and
what was intended as a punishment for
fraud is construed into the avarice of
officials.
Imprisonment is a positive punish
ment, which the guilty must bear for
himself, and unlike fines and penalties,
cannot be paid and discharged out of
the proceeds of frauds. This can only
be secured by an energetic and earnest
prosecution of offenders, and by using
all possible diligence in procuring testi-
mony to be used at their trial.
would by no means have fines and
penalties less than heretofore, except
when punishment is the alternative,
and it becomes necessary under the stat
ute SO to do, in order to secure imprie-
onment. The penal provisions of the
statutes are for the prevention of frauds
rather than the immediate production
of revenue.
What l have said is especially appli-
cable to the law and its administration
in reference to distilled spirits, coal oil
and tobacco, snuff and cigars There
are immense frauds in the manufacture
and removals, and every revenue officer
owes it to the Treasury, to the public,
and to his own reputation to do all he
can for their detection and rigorous
punishment.
| 1 desire, therefore to earnestly urge up
on you the great importance of an ener-
getic and cooperative performance of
your duty in this behalf, and that you
see that all officers employed under you
be diligent and prompt in the perform
ance OF theirs. Any misconduct or in
efficiency on the part of such officers
should be Immediately reported to this
Office for the action of the Department,
and any supposed fraudulent violation
of duty to the United States district at
torney for prosecution.
You may rest assured of the earnest
and unmeasured support of this Office
In your vigorous efforts for the thor
ough and rigorous administration of the
law. The law, to be productive and
sustained by the honest taxpayer, must
be enforced against wrong-dOers.
Very respectfully,
+. A. ROLLINS,
| Commissioner.

Bloomsbury Literary Institute.

The summer months arc rapidly ap.
preaching and time Is precious. The en-.
terprise was commenced, We might say,
under discouraging circumstances there
being quite division among our people in
regard to the location and style Of building;
but the work, SO far has gone forward with
rapidity, under the direct supervision of
Prof HENRY CARVER. The energy of the
men at the head of this much needed i'm
provcmcnt to advance the cause of education
is undoubted, but they cannot do all them
selres. They are notthe only ones interested
in its success The Board of Trustees, Of
which LEONARD B. RUPERT is President, as
well as the Building Committee, have given
the matter a great deal Of attention, for
which they deserve the praise Of the entire
community. But, as we have said before,
they are not the only persons interested.
The peor, rs well as the rich, of Blooms
burg and the whole County, have a deep
interest in this Institution. We all love to
see our children intelligent and well educated.
We are grasping after higher standard of
education than that ordinarily established
by our Common Schools; but we have not
the means Of sending our children abroad to
other schools. We must then be either con-
tent with mcagre amount of education or
exert ourselves to have good classical school
at our doors The money asked FOR, to COM
petc the building, is here in our midst and
should be promptly raised. We are strain
ing all our efforts to provide for our children,
but the most permanent investment we can
make for them, is to spare n part of our
funds in assisting to finish the Literary In
stitutc. Who will come forward and aid the
enterprise? How much argument do you
need to make you believe that your aid is
important, and for your own benefit? Many
persons who subscribed largely have doubled
their subscriptions; why should not every
owner of real estate in the place give some
thing? Why should not every farmer in
the County take few shares Of stock
When this Institution is finished there will
be no occasion for any children to be sent
out Of the County to acquire Mor1ngi,
classical education. Every person who has
children to educate, and County pride will
assist in this noble and worthy enterprise.

Tho Currency Of the Country.

congressman Morrill, shows more sense
than his Radical brethren when he asserts
that tho finances of the country is a matter
Of far greater urgency than the schemes
about which members are consuming pre-
cious time. One fact brought into promi.
ncncc by him deserves repetition, viz: "thc
amount Of paper currency in use in 1862
was only $lS4,0O0, 900, whereas il is now
nearly one thousand millions, or five times
as much" And his query is searching
one, whether the business Of the country is
SO much greater now thah it was then as to
demand such vast expansion Of paper mon.
cy to carryit. No one who knows anything
about it will answer aflirmativcly There is
this certain eilect-an advance and unccr-
tainty of prices. Now is the time to init
ate the work of adjustment in this particu-
lar. We do not, however, desire any con-
traction commenced that shall be SO violent
as to disturb business or at all effect any sort
of enterprise, But we see clearly the evil
that must resultuncss further cheapening
Of the currency and swelling of all prices are
stopped. We hold that it is essential to the
stability Of our Government that the excess
of paper issue be retired as fast as due de-
gree Of prudence will permit. A more ap-
preciatcd currency and cheaper prices forall
the ncccssarles Of life are, in all industrial
pursuits, felt to be essential to give business
the stability that nsurcs lasting prosperity.
1t is not the amount Of currency, however,
that makes money plenty or scarce in busi-
ness, so much as the want Of that elasticity
OF currency that comes only with confidence
in the future; and this is not likely to come
while the political movements at Washing
ton continue Of characterize invite distrust.
Business enterprise and activity are stifed
throughout all the productive pursuits No
one can shut his eyes to the fact that cthar-
gy pcrvadcs all the channels of trade. Busi-
ness, in all its departments, is more nearly
at stand-still than at any time within the
last five years 1t is not from any want of
currency authorized BY law. The amount is
abundant. The only thing required is that
those who may command it. may be reason
ably assured that when used it may come
back with its proper increase. This assur-'
ancc cannot come while questions Of moment
ous consequence in the future are pending,
orif enterprise is undcrtakenon the topmost
wave Of currency and credit. .-Nonh'd Coun-
