THE NEW INTERNAL TAX LAw.-The
general provisions of the law 60 into opera
ton July Goth, but there are certain mat
tiers Of detail in reference to which DAYS of
grace are allowed to the persons interested.
Thus, stills and distilling apparatus now
set up must be registered within sixty days,
while those hereafter set up must be regis
tered at once. The term Of Office or en-
ployment of ell general or special agents or
inspectors now authorized to act expires
within ten days after the law goes into eff
feet; and hereafter no such officer can be
employed, with the exception Of twenty
FIVE detectives, whom the Commissioner of
Internal Revenue is empowered to appoint.
This provision does not apply to inspectors
of tobocco, snuff, and cigars. Within nine
months all distilled spirits in any bonded
warehouse must be withdrawn from said
warehouse, and the taxes must be paid.
Every manufacturer Of tobacco and snuff
and every cigar manufacturer must within
thirty days place and keep on the side OF
end of the building within which his bust
ness is carried on, so that it can be dis
tinctly seen, sign with letters thereon
not less than three inches in length,
painted in oil colors or gilded, giving his
full name and business. All the proyi
sions of the law which requires the use of
stamps are to take effect at the end of sixty
days from the passage of the act. Provided
that in case the stamps cannot be furnished
by the Treasury Department by that time,
the Secretary may fix day not later than
December lst, 1868, for putting the provi-
sions Of the law in reference to stamps into
operation. Section 105 provides that all
acts inconsistent with the law just passed
are repealed save for the purpose of exact
ing penalties for their violation; but when
ever the duty imposed by any existing law
shall cease in consequence Of any limita
ton therein contained before the respective
provisions Of the act shall take effect, the
same duty or tax shall be continued until
the provisions of the new act shall take
effect; and where any act is repealed, no
duty or tax imposed thereby shall be
held to cease in consequence of such re-
peal until the respective corresponding
provisions Of the new act shall take effect.
When any tax is imposed, and the mode or
time of assessment or collection is omitted
or not properly provided for, the Commits
sioner of Internal Revenue may make all
necessary regulations to carry the law into
effect

YANKEE TRICK PLAYED UPON 4 YANKEE.
4 Mr.. Foster (Radical), Of the North Caro-
lima House of Representatives abiding to
a silver-spoon report, said such charge
might possibly be made against Beast But
Ter with truth, but not against him. He
then attacked Mr.. Sinclair, who replied as
follows: .... . ...a
"Nlr. Sinclair said ii would be unparlia-
mentary TO call the member liar, but
nevertheless the assertion that he lCdS q
liar was true, and he did not think his mari

IN this House. The member from Bladen
FOSTER, who wished to incorporate in the
bill a provision for embalming bodies, was
greatly interested in that business, for in
the pursuit of that occupation at Whining
ton, just after the war, he received an order
from northern gentleman to disinter his
son, who had died in that place from the
effects of the amputation Of his left leg.
Foster, being unable to find the Identical
body, and disliking to lose his profit, Sc
iec'ed body and cut off one Of its legs.
When the body reached home, 10 and behold
was found out that the right leg had been
cut of by mistake. The gentleman of
course discovered the fraud, returned the
ooly, and the earpet-bag resurrectionist

a letter on Saturday, received by gentle
man in this city, announcing the death OF
Samuel Crane, Esq, Auditor of State under
the re0rganized Government Of Virginia,
and elected to the same position at the first
election for officers of the new State. For
some two years past the letter states) Mr..
Crane has been afflicted with softening of
the brain, and was taken from the resi-
dence of his brother, in Nebraska, to St.
Vincent Hospital, at St. Louis, for treat
ment. He continued to grow worse, and on
the 9th instant death relieved him of his
sufferings. Mr.. Crane was gentleman OF
generous impulses. His remains will pro-
badly be brought here for interment.-

carelessly copied into our columns last

The NATIONAL TEMPERANCE CoNvEN-
TIoN.-ClcUeland, Ohio, July 30.-1n the
National Temperance Convention, during
the morning session, statements as to the
progress of the cause in each State occupied
a part of the time; after which O series of
resolutions was introduced, declaring that
total abstinence is demonstrated by Scrip
ture and science to be the bounden duty of
every man; that the manufacture and sale
of intoxicating liquor are public injury
and q nuisance; that licensing is wrong and
ruinous, and has proved to be failure
wherever tried; that prohibition is the only
safe legislation that the prescribing of al
coholic liquors by physicians is one of the
most serious hindrances to the temperance
cause. Z.
The resolutions denounce Sabbath liquor
selling as violation of vested rights and
the hopes Of the American people, the
Church being living protest against i'm
temperance, and that members and minis
tiers are true to their obligations only as
they labor against the same and urge the
establishment of children and youths total
abstinence societies in connection with
Sunday schools; and hail the establish
ment of national temperance publication
house, and recommend its publications.
Afternoon SeSSion.-The resolutions
which were reported and adopted take ex-
IRENE ground in favor of prohibition law,
and denounce the sale and use Of alcoholic
drinks as criminal. Remarks were made
by Z. B. Sherman, of Chicago; DR.. Ross, of
illinois, and others. 1t has been decided
to have annual meetings of the Convention.

IMPORTANT FROM SOUTH AMER1CA-THE FALL
OF HUMAITA-THE DISPUTE BETWEEN AME-
RICAN MINISTER wAsHBURNE AND THE
ALLIED COMMANDER.
LONDON, July 3O.-South American mails
furnish additional from the scene of war on
the Parana. Dispatches were received in
Rio from Marquiz de Caxias, commander
in-chief of the allied armies, announcing
that the fortress of Humaita, 30 long and
obstinately defended by the Paraguayans,
had fallen into the hands of the allies. No
particulars of the last days siege are given,
nor were terms of surrender known.
The dispute which had arisen between
General Caxias and Mr.. Washbiirne, Anne
rican Minister to Paraguay, remained I'M
settled. 1t originated in an attempt on the
part of the Marquis to prevent the United
States steamer Wasp, with the American
Minister on board, from proceeding up the
Parana river. Mr.. Webb, Ambassador of
the United States at Rio Janeiro, has re-
monstrated with the Brazilian Government
against this interference with the move
ments Of the Minister to Paraguay, and
will demand his passports if the steamer
Wasp is again detained by the commander
of the allied forces. GE
Reports have also been received from
Paraguayah sources which state that the
allies made reconnaissance in force in the
direction of the fortifcatione on the Tebi-
quarry river. The detachment, consisting
of 600 men, was met by Paraguayan forces
on the Tubare river, and a severe engage
ment followed, which ended in the defeat
and rout of the allies, with heavy loss in
prisoners, horses, arms, and munitions OF
War. .-.' sic ~...t-
Accounts from the same quarter repre-
sent that the position of the Paraguayans
at Humaita was as strong and well-manned
as it ever had been, and there were no pros
poets of its abandonment. The new and
extensive Notifications on the Tebiquary
had been completed, and were well-provi-
stoned and garrisoned. The river had been
effectually closed at that point by chains
and other distractions. ...E.. .
The above accounts, coming from behind
the Paraguayan lines, are necessarily of
earlier date than the latest news received
at Rio de Janeiro from the allied camp.
No intimation is given that General Lo-
PEI had sued for peace.

New PRoPELLER.-A canal-boat pro-
PEELED on new principle has been placed
on the Erie canal, and attracts some atten-
ton. The propelling power is a wheel in
the centre of the boat, which is arranged
something like the driving wheels of o now
ing machine. The wheel rests upon the
bottom of the canal, and is fixed upon a
frame which allows it to rise and fall accord
ing to the depth of water. The speed is
about twice as much az by towing. The
boat creates no swell, and from the shore it
was impossible to tell where the motive
power was applied.

General Butler writes note to correct
the Geographic statement that a suit was
brought against him in Baltimore for ex-
torting money while in command at Fortress
Monroe. He says: ~
Kimberly Brothers claim is for rent
paid by them for occupancy of Government
land. A board of survey reported that all
the occupants of Government land for shop
keeping purposes should pay rent, the
amount of which the board fixed. My pro-
vost-marshal collected of the Kimberlys
(among others), and accounted for that
rent for which / am sued, and it is tele-
graphed over the country for extorting
money!"
The other suit was brought by Woolley,
the recusant witness, for Imprisonment.

Marcus Tourtellote, of Springfield, Mass,
having taken umbrage at the noise made
by the pious negroes of Springfield, who
assembled for worship, bought the land on
both sides of their Westinghouse and then
tried to buy the church property. AS the
price asked was more than he was willing
to pay, he built solid board fence on each
side of the house up to the caves, thus
closing the windows and making the house
too dark for use as we'll as sufocatingly
hot. Not satisfied with this, he painted the
fences black on the sides toward the church.
A gold vein has been discovered in the
town of Clinton, New York. The vein is
traceable on the surface for three thousand
feet, and varies in width from six inches to
one foot. The quartz is blush, and por-
ton of it next to the walls decomposed. 1t
is we'll defined, and pitches at an angle of
seventy-fve degrees. An assay Of samples
of the quartz rock by competent metallur,
gists shows that it contains Sl5.45 OF gold
to the ton and about twenty per cent. of
silver. THAT is one-ffth as much silver as
gold.l

where they were wanted, in order to save
the committee the trouble Of going for them,
