Again, the provinces of Guelderland
Utrecht and Overyseet were taken by :thei
French and afterwards fecovered. Byne
setback remarks thereupon, that While
they were in the power of the enemy they' l
certainly were not entitled to their foimer
rights as confederates, and on that atteeunt
their delegates were very properly ordmei l
not to attend any longer at the meetings of
the States General; but when they -came ,
again into the possession of the Btateelhdl
were readmitted by a drcres of that, body
restoring them to their former municipal.
land confederate rights, except that Gael
deflated was deprived of one rote in the
uesembly,and several other conditions were
'imposed, one of which was that they should
swear anew to the articles of the confider ,
mica &sit they were admitted for the first
time.
These, however,
were cases if seizure
nod occupation b y an enemy; ours, of a
voluntary abdication of Federal righti and
organised resistance by governmental se
den to the Federal low. There he no ease
here, therefore, for the application of the
law of poetliminy. Some of these States,
on the contrary, constructed - out of territo
ries purchased by this Government, were
lifted from the posture of subject and de...
Peodent provinces upon the platform of the I
Union, on the condition of obedience to Ste
taws, and by their voluntary abdication Of
the privileges so conferred have, de it teems
to.ine, by on inevitable logic, loped back
again into the territorial condition. There
is no ground upon which It can be claimed
that any of them have been the
victims of a pc/bib' enemy, who has
wrested from them the possession I
of their kcal governments. The Cc.'
Lien Coe corporate and social. It was
the Iced governments themselves that
embed. Where they bare been recatthured
the local Goyernoti have fied; the local or
fanizations have been dissolved, and their
Territortes-Oee now under military °coups.-
don by tee atmieaof the 17iticn, or :under
provisional governors appointed by the Ex
ecutive. This fact alode, as it esteems to
me, involves the question- that they are no
longer in the Union. If they are, that oc.
cupat iota is unlawful. If their governments
are dissolved, however, they must, of course,
be reconetrucited under the auspices of the
conquering power, and that not by the Er..
eoutive hitt by the Legislature of the lElo
ion,i whose sword-ho beam, and which only,
consistently with the value of our instita
twee; the peel practice Of. theGoverhment,
and the letter as well se spirit of the Con
stitution, con venture to determine what
use shall be made of the Territories con
garnet by it, and when and upon what
terms they shall be re-admitted into full
communion an membere of this Govern
ment. It is notoertainly the military pow.
er that is to reorgs,niso, and modify, and
breathe new life into their deinnotooned

sword museho sheathed, and the Territory
return to the direction of the lawinating
power, which will prescribe dm tubs fot
ate government, and allow to Its people the
privilege of reorganising under republican
forms. I call i t,terr hory and invoke the law
that governs *there, because I know et no io.
tertnediste condition. To permit any execu
tive officer to declare its law, and set it in

qualification, Oat they are out f point if

Is just ibis, that although the, it bell :have

be wishes to Deaf for the privilege of a(ralnsi_
them, while we propose to fight for the
purpose of dhastising them into submie

difference of taste; bat all history attests
that there always are, as there always will
be, men whirdove to wear the livery of a
muter, and:are uncomfortable without :it;
who regard the collar as a badge of dis
tinotion, and would at all events, rather
carry it, then quarrel with it. . No wonder,
therefore, at the opinion so often expressed
by men of this sort In relation - to the black',
man, that he would neither run away, I
nor bear arms against lily master or any
body else. They did him injustice in sup
posing that he was like themselves.

The Army of the Potomac:-Ise Spiess
` did Condition-olio Organization and
Commanderso-Generat Meade.
In a letter from the headquarters of the
Army 6f the Potomac, dated the 3d heat, Mr.
D. A..Tage writes to the N. Y. Tribune:
Never before has this Army of the Potomac
been so ftecullarly and emphatically the
"Grand Army" as it 11 to-dap. It is a cam
pact, self-reliant, votaran boat, conscious that' '
it is able to deliver mightier bier] than evert
before, knowing that there will be blows to
take, 63 well as blows to give, and prepared '
',
in every drop and fiber for both. We have ell
hoped and felt that this must be so—it is so.
Ak, the blows to take I Well, it must be.
Ws campaign into which' the Army of the' ,
Potomac Is last now' o be launched probably'
bolds tho pivotal battle that shall be en ens:
for all time. An Arbell and Marathon and
Waterloo, those mountainous farts where have
rooted the destinies 'of notions and of civili
sation, were not made altogether of blows
given, nor shall the bloody' conclusion Ire are
now to try be other than they. It must be
met. But think how gallantly it Will be mat.
i see the tong glittering lines panoplied in
steely splendor, and marching in humored
magrdficence—and 'now there is the flash
and smoke ond thunder -of battle. It must
be met. God save the right!
The prose-generally id late habitually spoke
as Usenet Gen. Grant had superseded Gan.
Meade in the command of the army. This is
not the ease. Gen. Meodo commands the en
tire army as Much no Gen. Sidgwick how biz
corps, or any colonel his regiment.
It is true that the presence of the Co m
mender-in-Chief relieves him of the respon
sibility of planning the campaign '
but as to
the discipline and organitanon of the army
he to stilt responsible and paramount. Gen.
Grant has not interfered with machinery that
ho fads In admirable working order, and in
no instance does be Lome an order except
arc-sigh Goa. Meade. The army has a very
thorough and unwavering confidence in the
latter, though by no meaus unettling that he
shall be supplemented with the in-ridge of
Grant.

The New State Tax Law
Wo have received a copy of tho "act Im
posing additional taxes for State purposes,
and to abolish the Revenue Board," which has
been approved by the Governor. This is an
important act, and should he folly understood
by' tho large classes of interests affected
thereby. The following abstraot will convey
sufficient knowledge of Its provisions and
operations for tonere' purposes :
The first section provides that ovary rail-
road, steamboat, slackwater navigation or
other tranaportatlon company in the State,
shall make quarterly returns to the Auditor in
July. Thane returns must be made within
thirty 46ye after the oloso of each quarter,
ander oath or afilrmation, and state the
camber of tons of freight earried. On this
tonnage the said companies must pay to the
State Treasurer two cents per ton for the pro
duct of ruins. ; three mute for the product of
the forest, animal and vegetable food and
other agricultural products ; five mots 011
merchandise, manufacture. and ail other
articles. When the name freight is carried
ever several roads, each road pays proportion
ally, and the proportions are to be adjusted
by themselves, and the Treasurer is author
ized to collect the whole tax from either com
pany, as he may select. It is provided that
freight over one or several roads shall be taxed
but once.
- --
The second section provides that every pri
e'ite banker and broker, every Incorporated :
and unincorporated banking and saving hand
teflon, and depoeit and trust company; every
goo'' express, bridge, insurance and foreign
company; manufacturing, mechanical, mining
and quarrying company, and all other com
panies doing business in this commonwealth,
except those specified in the first act, not pay
ing a tax to the State upon dividends under
existing laws, shall report on the beet of No
vember the amount of net earnings or incomes
received, and within thirty days pay three
per cent. additional to present taxes. This
section provideis that those paying under its
provisions shall not be taxed under the acts of
Hay 16, 1861, and the am, of April, 1855,
and hay, 1881, except.so far as cher license to
foreign insurance companies are concerned.
It provides also that delinquent corporations
under the act of 1858 may make return within
sixty days, and that those failing to do so
shall forfeit their rights and privileges by the
Governor's proclamation.
1 Tha third section ordains that the proper
offitiers of dividend paying companies shell
retain the State tax, and pay it over to the
State Treasurer, from the declared dividends,
and that the same laws which apply to treasu
rer' of towns and cities are made applicable
so such financial officers. In cases of neglect, :
the officer becomes personally liable.
The fourth section declares that the desig
nated officers of districts, cities and counties
shall in nicety days return, under oath, the
amount of outstanding indebtedness of such
' plisses, as It was at the beginning of the cur
rent year, and of each succeeding year, with
the rates of interest, under a penalty of five
thousand dollars. The lima.so of this section
establishes that the Auditor General shall, on
he receipt of such ratans, settle the accounts
of the counties, cities and boroughs paying'
them, fix the due and unpaid State tax, and:
notify the officers.
Toe sixth section provides that railroad
and canal corporations whose interests are
partly foreign and partly domestic, shall re
turn for sorb portion as lies :within the State.
It also enacts that all persons elected or ap
pointed to (Zoe, whose gross receipts from
their office are between six and twelve tinn
died dollars, shall pay a tax of ono per cunt.,
those whose salaries, are between twelve and
twenty- five hand-red shall pay two per cent.,
and fire per cent. Is to be collected when the
salary exceeds the greater sem. The reven
ue deprived from this act is made applicable
in the first place to the payment of the ordi
nary expenses of the Government, and the
residue goes to the sinking fend.
Important Dretalon to Ott Shippers.
On Wednesday 1.1, in the Supreme Court
which is now in erasion at Harrisburg, ilidge
String delivered an important decision In the
case of Teems we. the Pennsylvania Railroad
Company. The question involved Ls stated
oy the jed;e in his opinion, thus :
" The enbstantial question in this case ts,
whether the 'defendants may rightfully dis.
mand from, the complainant higher rates for
transporting:over their railroad coal oil con.
signed to Win at Philadelphia, and Poi:al.:led
ey there for eaniage at Pittsburgh, than they
demand from shipper. generally from the
place of lo p ing to the same place of
try, merely bemuse the complainant in-
condo to send the oil afterwards to New York.
Does the piece of find destination, If beyond
tbe terminus of defendants' road, justify an
increase of the charge =cede for transporting
orgy the toad itself, freight thug destined,
over the rate established for sicciler freight
destined for the terminus itself? It is ttr be
observed that the rellrnad of the defendants is
wholly Within this Etas.; that it does not ex.
tend beyond Philadelphia eastward, nor west
ward beyond PitUtoargh, b also to be no
tad, that the oil delivered to the defendants
nt Pittsburgh for carriage, and upon which
the charges complained of are mode is a do.
a t omic uroduct of the 'State, and attach le en
titled to the spirit of the protection lif not to
its hum) extended by the eammatatitra ton—
es tax of. 11561 to demistio products. It
transported from Pittsburgh to any eastern
atertvt, it mutt peas ever the read of the de
fendants. It has no other available route."
The Judge Dere oaten into a difenssion o
tho questions raised, the count of which
sweets] decided cues, when tho same princi.
plea of Isw wen inroteed,wre cited, and con
stades sa follows :
"We hold then that the rule of the defend
ants, of which the complainant complains, Is
unreasonable, and such as they hove no legal
right to enforce. The apology set uptor it Is
not sufficient. That, the imposition of higher
ratee fat carrying the complainant's oil to
Philadelphia, because. it to afterwards to be
forwarded income way to New York, le :sates
eery to prevent tits having an advintage in
ibe New York market over those who employ
the -defendants to transport all the Way, or
°seethe= who send oil from Pittsburgh to
Now York with through bills of lading, is a
matter, outside of . heir tentraL It bus no
proper relation to them to carriers.
An iejanction will therefore be leaned, ac
cording to the prayer of the bill, and as ao
count will be decreed of the etaess over the
attest or ordinary rates of freight heretofore
paid by the 'complainant to-the defendants,
and the amount-toned by such amount to have
bean paid in excess of the ordinary rates of
charge for transportation from Pittsburgh to
Philadelphia will be decreed to be paid to the
Sompleinant, together with interest and-the

The Ladles , Rearm MOVCIIIICIIti
EDITORS GaTTIV—I oliediwe In your paper
an "address to the women of the land," Ora
camber of ladies, who propose the argalits
dim of a "Ladles' National Covimmik," whose
object is to dispense with foreign attlekriof
apparel—excepting only such as are -,
penslide—for "three years, or during e
war." ' •
I do not propose, In the few dbmltory 0-
marks I shall 'make, to odd anything to e
admirable address of the ladies themselves.
But I do propose that the subject matter of
that address be universally agitated. To in.
augurste a successful reform fraught -with
ouch a radical up-rooting ellen-cherished
predilections and customary indulgence, will
require the adduction of argument. that ap
peal, not to policy or expedhinee, but to that
lofty patriotism which derives its inspiration
from a high sense of moral responsibility. A
Christian, philanthropic patitorlim that re
pudiates selfish considerations, and contain
plates the welfare of the reams. The women
of America are justly entitled to pro-eminence
in this aspect of oar stational character
Party prejudices and selfish upiralions do not
mar the beauty of their love of country an
they do in the political affairs of men. They
breath a prawn political atmosphere than we
of .the sterner sex do; and walk on "beds of
roses" in tidies of peace and preeparity, while
we feel sore over a political defeat, and wear
crowns of thorns, it eaccessfuL
Now they are called upon to demonstrate
, the earnestness of their love of ommtry by
works. Financial embarraeunente are more
to be dreaded than all the ether difficulties
that beset oar nation's pathway to a .pereas
neat pence and an indissoluble re-union.
They can be averted, in a great merman.
The premium cm gold can be very conablera
bly rearmed In a short time; The financial
system of Secretary 'Chase can be maintained
in each vigor as to defy the combined eftorte
of the wrrld to derange It. And the prend
privilege of thus aiding the government in lie
efforts to preserve constitutional liberty, will
belong in a great measure to the women.
Let, then, anzillary societies be formed in
every neighborhood throughout the loyal
states. Let • every roman who . lovee her
country, take the pledge.' Let ns learn to
recognize those who are clad in ^home arm"
as the patriots of '64. Let the bullhead,
brother, or friend of every woman who takes
the pledge, procure for. her the prescribed
badge. Let the young men set their - hearts
upon the girls who show themselves ;worthy
to become the wires
of those who tuna. fought
to dofence of tiler mints,.
In conclusion, Messrs Editors, I would sug
gest that both ladies and ontiossem . discuss
this matter sincerely and theroughlY, with a
view to the amelioration of the condition of
our bleeding country. T.

The 1192 d and 130th Regtments.
Both these regiments, which .re madelp
of men from these two cities and viainitt
were most probably engaged in the action of
Thursday, referred to in our telegraphic dli
patohes. They ore in Terry's Division, which
was subjected to a were fire, for two hours
and a half, and loot severely. The 102 d, OA
WO learn from a private source, left Brandy
Station on Tuesday last, and as the action did
not take placenntil Thursday, there is amain
ly a doubt u to their havingjoined their emir
radios before the battle began.
We learn from good authority that no per
mit is allowed to go nearer to the army the..
Washington city, and hencemany who wadi('
otherwise go on to look sifter their friends aro
deterred from doing so, as they might almost
as well remain at home as go to. Washingten.
The suspense is painful; bat there seems to he
no remody bat to wait find hope.
