MILLER's PLANTERS AND MERCHANTS ALMA
MAC FOR lSI2-This time-honored annual
again claims the public patronage, and under
the auspices of the new proprietors and pub
fishers, Messrs. Walker, Evans & Cogswell,
appears in much enlarged and improved
form. There are in it about eighty pages in
all, of which about thirty are advertisements,
and the remainder valuable astronomical and
statistical Information. The directory of the
present government of Charleston, and Of the
State Government Of North Carolina, South
Carolina, Georgia. Tennessee and Alabama,
is more complete and reliable than can be
found elsewhere, while the lists of officers OF
the various railroads, banks and other public
institutions of those States, are most valuable
for reference. We understand that ten thous-
and copies of the Almanac have been printed,
and that even this number is not likelyto sup
ply the greatly increased demand caused by
the Improvement in the publication. The
price is only ten cents, and Miller in its fifty.
fifth year is as much the rage as when first
published.

\ HAPPY CHRISTMAS.

Thus the day passed with no excitement,
but with quiet thanksgiving, which bespoke
much real enjoyment. The rejoicing was

shot Saturday night. Both have since died.

serious resistance is feared. Three more compa-
MES of militia are to arrive here tomorrow from
the neighboring towns. The miners, to convince
the citizens of their law-abiding disposition,
have relnquished the idea of a grand parade,
which had been announced for tomorrow.
The general council of the workingmen's be-
nevolent association will meet at Wilkesbarre,
Tuesday, to consider the proposition recently
submitted by the governor and railroad compa-
MES. With their verdict rests virtually the
whole question of resumption. The leading
men here are not sanguine Of an early resump-
ton.

lieutenant and corporal that he has been seized

Ldter-There has been no disturbance for two
days past No intelligence has been received
here of work having been resumed in any mine.

The UNITED STATES MILITARY Posi- LIBRA
RY ASSOCIATION is engaged in a good work.
Its object is to improve the social, moral and re.
liaious condition of the enlisted men of the
army, by means of such influence as il can ex-
err upon the legislation of congress adapted to
Improve the condition of the soldier in these
respects, in the establishment of libra, les and
reading room at all military posts and stations,
and in the free distribution Of secular and reIir-
lous reading. The society is established in New
York, and John c. Holden is its president. The
test on, to its usefulness from army officers
Of all ranks is abundant. During the year 1870.
with an neon. of about ten thousand dollars
it distributed periodicals, rei lous and secular.
TO about one hundred and twenty of the three
hundred military posts now occupied by the
army, and aided in establishing libraries at about
thirty posts, giving them in all some 300
volumes. So much of the soldiers time while
in garrison is unoccupied, and in the remote
western posts he is SO far removed from the
ordinary resources of rational amusement, that
the emotations to coarse dissipation are often
almost irresistible. TO supply these men with
interesting and instructive reading is to employ
one Of the most eff lent agencies for their i'm
prIvement, aud promises to save many Of Them
from corruptnS influences. The association,
OWING to its selnty means, is unable to respond
to many OF the constant calls for its aid. #
needs, and could probably use in its work, an
income of twenty-five thousand dollars. The
report of the society for the year 1870, which
contains much interesting information, can be
obtained free, by addressing John B. Ketchum
corresponding secretary, IS Broadway, New
York.

That the election in New Hampshire should
have an influence upon that in Connecticut,
some weeks later, as well as upon party politics
throughout the country, seems natural enough,
and the expectation that it will have such an
influence greatly aids in stimulating the local
politicians to their best efforts, and is the chief
cause Of the interest which the people Of other
states teel in the result. But that the Connecti-
cut election Shout affect the result of the pre-.
Nioas eAectaoni in New Hampshire, seems, at first
uongnt' incredible A leading democrat in
concord, however, has written to a friend in

The maintainers Of the income tax, in answer
TO the advice of the alti-income tax associa-
tion, point triumphantly to that section of the
law which forbids the enjoining of collectors.
The words are: NO suit for the purpose of
restraining the assessment or collection of the
tax shall be maintained in any court" So far
as words can be these seem TO be conclusive;
but they are only words, aud their validity as
law ponds upon that of the act of which they
form part. They must stand or fall with ii,
and whether the act in question is law or not is
just the point which the association proposes to
put to the test The association has issued an adj
dress in reply to this CLAIM of the revenue
officials, in which address they declare that it is
their purpose TO try the constitutionality Of this
section, as well as of the whole act, in the
United States supreme court. They say rea-
sonably enou. h that 1t is not within the power
Of congress to withhold relief against an un-
constitutional act by adding section forbid
ding resort to the courts. :" IT." they say,
congress had this power, it might pass an act
confscating the goods of every citizen and, by
a section of the act, make ii high treason, and

legal measures TO prevent the robbery"
