Our New Dress.
We present the Massimo= to its patrons,
this week, in a new dress, except the solver
tidal. type, which will look well a year or two
longer. We trust the money expended in
improving the paper will prove to be well in
vested, and it will so prove, if it leads all de
linquents to settle their accounts. We shall
need a large number of "Greenbacks" by the
first of next month.
To Our Patrons.
The caning Court week will afford a good
opportunity for those Indebted to us to make
payment. We are in need of pecuniary help.
A little from each one will relieve us from
present embarrassments, and will not distress
the pockets of our creditors.
Our Prospective Taxation.
The enonsons evening of the present
war, aggregating, with the force now in the
field, fully tisep millions of dollars per day,
and to be still farther increased by the addi
ti•oal 300,000 Galled for by the Presicket,
arnlibely to raider. Gar taxation, present and
prospective, even more burthenexue than
that of the English and French people, the
meet tax-oppressed of all civilisettviations.—
In France there is a popuktioa of thirty-five
inillions, and their annual taxes reach three
hundred and forty-seven millions of &flare,
or ten dollars each for every man, woman
and child in that empire. In England, with
a population of about twenty millions, the
taxes are two hundred and eighty millions of
dollars, or fourteen dollars each. To raise
this fourteen dollars per head, Rev. Sidney
Smith assures us taxes are imposed on "every
article which enters into the month, or car
ere the back, or is placed tender the foot—
taxes upon everything which is pleasant to
see, hear, feel, smell or taste—taxes upon
warmth, light, and locomotion—taxes on ev
erything on earth, and the waters under the
earth-..0n everything that comes from
abroad, or is ippirg at borne--taxes on every
material—Taxes cm every fresh value there
added to it by the industry of man—taxes
on the wince which pampers man's appetite,
and the drug that restores him to health—on
the ermine which decorates the Judge, and
the rope which hangs the criminal—on the
poor man's salt, and the rich man's spice—
on the brass nails of the coffin, and the rib
bons of the bride—at the bed or board,
couchant or levant, we must pay—the school
boy whips his taxed top—the beardless youth
manages his taxed horse, with a taxed bridle,
on a taxed road and Our dying Englishman,
pouring his medicine, which has paid seven
per cent., into a spoon that has paid fifteen
per cent., dings himself back upon his chintz
bed, which has paid twenty-two per cent.,
and expires in the arms of an apothecary,
who has paid a license of a hundred pounds
for the privilege of putting him to death.—
His whole property is then immediately
taxed from two to ten per cent. Besides the
probate, large fees are demanded for burying
him in the chancel ; his virtues are handed
down to posterity on taxed marble; and he
is then gathered to his fathers—to be taxed
no more."
Such is the picture of English taxation
drawn by a master hand, and such the price
the English people are paying for their small
stock of "military glory."
If the present unnatural and fratricidal
war should terminate within three months,
it is the impression of the best financiers in
the country that our public debt would ap
proximate to three thousand millions of dol
lars, the interest on which would amount to
some $180,000,000 per annum, nearly or
quite all of which would have to be raised by
direct taxation, as the duties on imposts and
the other ordinary sources of revenue would
not afford more than enough to meet the cur
rent expenses of the Government. It should
' not be matter of surprise if here, as in Eng
land, "the prodigious patronage which the
colk4ctiag of this splendid revenue will throw
' into the Wads of the Administration, should
invest it with so vast an influence, and hold
out such means and temptatioes to corrup t
don, as all the virtue and public spirit
even of geed men will be unable to resist."
To meet the enormous taxation which is
certainly in More for them, our pee* taunt
practice the closest and most rigid economy.
Nothing but industry and ilood reannimment,
pod rigid aelfilimini, will enable thaw to eara7
tie biuthene which must inevitably be impo
sed

We wish the Chronicle all the prosperity,
as a news journal, it deserves, and its merits
in this line are indisputably great.
The Dedication of the Soldiers' Con-
try at Gettysburg.
The dedication of the Soldiers' Ceme
try, at Gettysburg, Pa., took place on
the 19th ult. Edward Everett delivered
the Oration on the occasion, and
speeches were made by President Lin
coln, Seward, Gov. Seymour, Forney,
"the President's dog," and others.—
The President, it will be seen by the
following report of his Remarks, couldn't
get off even a five minutes' speech
without lugging in his pet absurdity
about the equality of the races. Ac
earding to his construction of the words
in the Declaration of Independence,
that "all men are created free and equal,"
the men who signed that sacred instru
ment "were hypocrites and liars, as one
of the reasons assigned by them for
their revolt against the mother country
was the interference of the Government
with their slaves." But here is the
speech
Four score and seven years ago our
fathers brought forth upon this continent
a new nation, . conceived in liberty,
and dedicated to the proposition that all
men are created equal. (Applause.)—
Now we are engaged in a great civil
war, testing whether that nation, or any
nation so conceived, and so dedicated,
can long endure. We are met on a
great battle-field of that war. We are
met to dedicate a portion of it as the
final resting-place of those who here
gave their lives that that nation might
live. It is altogether fitting and proper
that we should do this. But in a larger
sense we cannot dedicate, we cannot
consecrate, we cannot hallow this
ground. The brave men, living and
dead, who struggled here have consecra
ted it far above our power to add or de
tract. (Applause.) The world will little
note nor long remember what we say
here, but it can never forget what they
did here. (Applause.) It is for us, the
living, rather to be dedicated here to
the unfinished work that they have thus
far nobly carried on. (Applause.) It is
rather for us to be here dedicated to the
great task remaining before us, that
from these honored dead we take in- .
creased devotion to that cause for
which they here gave the last full mea
sure of devotion ; that we here highly
resolve that the dead shall not have died
in vain (applause); that the nation shall,
under God, have a new birth of free
dom, and that governments of the peo
ple, by the people, and for the people
shall not perish from the earth. (Long
and continued applause,)
SEWARD "announced himself sixty
years old, and said that forty years ago
he predicted the b'.o3dy struggle in
which the country is now engaged, and
was glad to know it would result in
the Abolition of slavery. FORNEY con
tented himself, as usual, with fawning ;
he announced Mr. Lincoln the savior of
his country, which, in the absence of any
jokes, by that functionary, must be re
garde.' as one of the speaker's last bits
of pleasantry. Although frequently hi
larious, Forney makes no pretensions to
wit or humor ; but the announcement
alluded to, is so ludicrous as to render it
irresistibly funny. Old Abe is saving
his country with a vengeance. His in
duction into office was accompanied by
rebellion ; he has been trying to con
duct hostilities with the entire power of
the country to back him ; and, after
nearly three years, he has concluded to
use his power more effectively to carry
the elections North, than to put down
the rebellion in the South. In this he
has the experience and assistance of the
corrupt crew, whose spokesman hails
him as the Saviour of his country. Mr.
Seward, who has become nervously anx
ious as to his fame as a prophet, vindica
ted his pretensions by the assertion that
forty years ago he had anticipated that
the battle of freedom would be fought
upon the field of Gettysburg. At the
early age of twenty he must have re
ceived, from some Egyptian charmer, a
magic by which he "could almost read
the thoughts of people." However
that may be, we all know that he has
by his frequent "prophecies, libels and
dreams," for the past two years, render
ed himealf the ridicule_ of foreign gov
ernments, ate the twaddler of our own.

Delaware—Another "Free Election"
and another "Great Union Victory."
The election for a member of Congress in
the State of Delaware, last Thursday, was a
mere form—N. B. Smithers, the Adminis
tration candidate, having been chosen with
out opposition. As the control of the polls
was given to the Military, by command of the
Dictator Schenck, and a test oath was re
quired of all voters hostile to the Administra
tion, the Democrats very properly withdrew
their candidate, the Hon. Charles Brown, and
did not attend the election.
A State on which the foot of a rebel army
never trod, says the Patriot and Union, and
where all the appliances of civil government
were unobstructed in their operation, was vir
tually disfranchised by a military edict.—
Forms and qualifications were imposed to
which no high-minded citizen could submit
without self-degradation and conscious dis
honor. Accordingly the conservative men
of the State withdrew from the contest, satis
fied to leave the interpretation of their acts
with the judgment of their fellow-country
men. "When one's adversary is playing with
marked cards and loaded dkr, the only rem
edy is to retire from the game." This was
done; and in the forthcoming Congress Del
aware will be represented by bogus members
with no legitimate constituency. The same
is true, to a great degree, of Maryland. The
conservative men of Delaware have asserted
their manhood as true Americans, in whose
breasts the soul of freedom still lives.
Delaware is the third State in which the
fundamental franchise of American freemen
—the right of suffrage—has been stricken
down by Federal despotism and arrogance,—
Kentucky first, then Maryland, and now
Delaware. So we go.
Speaking of the recent successful military
movement in Delaware, by the traitor con
spirators against State Rights, Civil Liberty,
the Coustitution and the Uuion, the Dover
Delawaresn says :
"The task is now completed—the work
begun a year ago. There is no struggle now
—the struggle is over. Life is extinct—the
life of our liberties, The voice of the people
of the State of Delaware is hushed—silence
reigned in Delaware at the election on the
19th inst.
"Suwarow, the military butcher that did the
bloody work of Russia in crushing out the
liberties of the turbulent, freedom-loving Poles
wrote to his mistress, when he had murdered
thousands of them, and made them bow their
necks submissively to his government, that
'Order reigned in Warsaw!' Order now
reigns in Delaware—Order No. "
True and Faithful.
The Democratic party, (says the Albany
Argus) since the war commenced, as well as
before, has been true to its traditionary char
acter and faithful to the Union of the States
and the Constitution, which forms the charter
and bond of union. It has cheerfuily suppor
ted an administration, not of its own choice,
with the men and means to suppress the re
bellion, and it has protested against no -mea
sure directed to that end, warranted by the
Constitution and the laws. It has protested
against the exercise of arbitrary power, the
suppression of free speech and a free press,
the invasion of the liberty of the citizen, and
generally against all violations of the funda
mental law of the nation. It does protest
against conducting the war for the overthrow
instead of the support of the Constitution—
for the subjugation and extinction of States,
instead of their restoration to the Union. In
a word, the Democratic party is simply true
to itself and its past history. It stands fast
by the Constitution and the Union, against
all attacks, whether from secession at the
South or Abolitionism at the North. It fights
in defence of our nationality, as established
by our fathers, against all enemies. This is
the head and front of its offending. And this
is denounced by a venal and corrupt press,
by arrogant and usurping officials, by windy
orators and by heated partisans as "treason!"
"If this be treason, make the most of it."—
The traitor is he who is unfaithful to the
Constitution, and that brand belongs upon
the foreheads of those who make these as
saults upon Democrats.

WASHINGTON CITY STYLE-DIAMONDS AND
WHISKEY.-A Washington correspondent of
the Independent says : "There was a sight
to be seen in broad daylight a few days ago,
in front of the Presidential mansion, which
gave those who witnessed it a shocking idea
of the onward strides which the vice of in
temperance has madela good society during
the last few years. A woman clad in richest
and most fashionable garments, with dia
monds flashing from her slender fingers in
the slant Western sunshine, sat upon the
stone balustrade, unable to proceed on her
homeward walk without betraying herself. -
At last she rose and started on, swaying to
and fro, and yet soon- rested again, utterly
unable to proceed. The carriage of a for
eign minister lamed by—the poor woman
was noticed—and it turned, stopped, took in
the lady, and carried her to her luxurious
home. Fur the lady is wealthy and occu
pies a high social position, but she was drunk
in the streets of Weshington!"
SorMr. Lincoln told Wendell Phillips last
January that the issuing of that proclamation
of emancipation was the greatest folly of his
life. So Phillips stated last week, at the
Music Hall In New Haven.
The Tribune contradicts this statement,
but the Herald correspondent telegraphs,
that other witnesses corroborate Mr. Phillips;
so that it appears that while it has been
made a test of "loyalty" to endorse that un
constitutional pronunciamento, the Presi
dent himself condems it now as he did eleven
days before he issued it. Will it not be
amusing when the Leaguers join with the
Radicals of Missouri in berating the President
as a "Copperhead ?"
11.16,The Nashville Union says : "We nev
er knew an avowed rebel whose mouth was
not full of references to, and praises of, the.
laws, and Constitution." It is pretty good
evidence of treason, then, to talk of laws and
constitutions, We have been aware, for
some time, that this was a fact. Still we
have been rather disposed to think well of
laws and Constitutions. Perhaps in these
latter days, when men are so much better
than they used to be, such things can be dis
pensed with. The radicals are trying the ex
periment, so that we shall have a demonstra
tion of the matter before long. We suggest,
however, that they had better let these laws
and Constitutions stand. The few sinners
left in the world may need these restraints,
if the saints do not.

and exclaimed, "Now gentlemen, what do you

acres each year, which in a short time would
be worth a thousand by its mere rise in value.

No DUAFr IN INDIANA.—The Indianopolis

from the Indiana county papers, all of which
show that the enthusiasm for volunteering in

the contracts and the profits.
-That notoriously pious sheet, the 'N. Y.
Independent, compared President Lincoln to
a cur with a collar. Speaking of him it says :
"Does ho not wear Kentucky like a collar to
this day ? A dog with a collar tights slow !"
This respectful language is from the pen of
Rev. Mr. Tilton, editor, who was drafted, but
who, though able-bodied, concluded not to
fight at all.

sir Curran said of the liberty of the press
"That great sentinel of the State, that grand

then use the money, which experience
has shown to be the chief product of
conscription, in enlisting negroes. In
this way, the radical 'want,' as defined
by the Press, will be fulfilled; they Will
get 'no soldiers under our banner whose

are striving to have none, and none of
any other description except negroes. In
short, they are voluntarily and openly
discouraging enlistments. Where sleeps

This is all very true, but these "Rad

Gen. Banks' Texas Expediliop—The
Momentous Period of the Rebellion.
NEW YORK, Nov. 23.—A Times spe

on Gen. Bank's staff, wntinq to a friend
here, says a large quantity oit - eottoz was
captured near Brownsville, Texas, and
expeditions had been sent np the river
Rio Grande to get all they could find.—
The Union men at Brownsville, who
hailed with delight the capture, of the
place by our forces, were tbrming them
selves into defensive organizations, and
rendering valuable service as scouts.—
The cotton which will .be thicrim jilt°
market by our occupation of -.Texac will
reach 250,000 bales. The amount stored
on the Rio Grande line is immense:
The President, yesterday, in the course
of conversation,remarked, that the next
two weeks woud be the most momen

Obstacles in the Way of Exchange of
Prisoners---Fate -of Colored Sol
diers.
The prevalent doubts as to obstacles being
in the way of the exchange of pri , sonelt.s are at
last semi-officially relieved. They originated
entirely in the refusal of the rebel nathorities
to exchange colored soldiers and their officers
now in their hands. Thelucidental difficulties
have been taldetl4a4his question. It is under
stood that nothigg i whatover, has ever been
ascertained of the'llite of this class of officers
and soldiers now in thesauth. It is believed
here that the.negro soldiers have betri put
into slavery, and that some of the officers
have been t immured in dungeons. The rebels
give no intelligence regarding them.
