The Friends or Peace.
Between present peace and permanent peace,
there is a vast difference. The friends of present
peace are those who would compromise the
honor and the integrity of the Government, to
escape personal service, to make political capi
tal, or sec - ire self-aggrandizement. Such peace
would be more uncertain and really=mbre dan
gerous than the common iicissitude , s oi War, in
which the result of battle hangs on -merest
chance. It would be a peace breeding constant
apprehension and alarni i, The, Government
would be unstable because'unvindicated. The
law would go into operation without a supp . rt,
b6cause its etcorcement would constantly in
velve a compromise which would defeat its ih'-
tention when thoi . e who might incur its penal
ties resolved to resist its power. Thoss who
are opposing th-. efforts . of the National Govern
ment to put down rebellion are favoring the
present peace to which we now refer. Such as,
these want peace, that they May cariy to Suc
cess their political plans. It is not to restore
the country to greatness or glory, that such
hypocrites as Bill Bigler or such naturally
breeded traitors as Bill Reed desire peace. They:
preach peace alone to promote party purpose.'
They offer the compromise of ,national honor
that Democratic plans may succeed—the
Democratic plans which look to the recognition
and permanent establishment of the franchiies
of slavery, and thereby- secure the prostration
and humiliation of all the interests of free labor.
—The real friends of peace, are thoie who are
in favor of fighting down the rebellion with the
sword. No other result will be fruitful of
peace, but that which is secured by the sword:
The_suppoiters of slavery sought the ti#ord
to dismember and destroy the Union. They
that flourish by the sword 'must fall by the
sword. Slavery and its Concomitant
son, must be forced to yield to freedoin and its
companion, loyalty--yield, * noilit 'compromise
or armistice, but in acknowledgMent fob the
power and authoriti'and grandeur of the - one
over the other. The traitors who ateW the
sword and lighted tb.a torch for slavery, must
be brought to their knees in utter andrcomplete
subjection ;'they must be forced to'fiecePtliuch
terms as the outraged.majesty of the ,law and
the insulted purity of the Government may
dictate. They must be 'amide tolfeel, in their
persons and their prOperty, that this' Govern
ment is not only all powerful to protect. the
right, but that it is invincible when it moves
to crush out the wrong.' > Those who support
the_GOvernment in its efforts E;gainst the did
.
tors in arms, arc doing all they can to hasten
the establishment of each a peace. No other
power but the Government can restore this peace.
Political parties are unable, of 'themselves, to
oreate national harmony or vindicate the' na
final authority. As these are able to do that
Government great hatin,l33 are they able to do
it great good. This is being reuli,ed at the
present hour. The party which is supporting
that Government—the loyal men of all parties
who are rallying toils defence and maintenance,
are those who are in fever of permanent peace.
Bat those who are opposing the Goveinment—
who are constantly clanicniog for peace by as
seal:rig the National AdminisEratiou, tradUc
ing and- maligning"lthe representatives of the
federal authority—the - Se are the enemies o
peso*. Had the GOliernMerit been supported as
it shculd have been, by theAnited masses &
the free and loyal States, thee rebellion would
not have laited a year. 'l6.d the leaderiof the.
Damocratic party-who first expressed syrinirithy
for traitors,- been: arrested , ,and disposed of as
was Vallandigham, the traitors of the South
Would now be On their knees suing for peace,.
and es an evidence - of their sinceritrthe same
men would cov.:nant t 6 hang every doughfrice
of the Vallandigham ilk in their poSsession.
"A Meiniac wite:9
We see an article going the rounds of the
copperberid press with this caption. It depicts in,
fierce and threatening terms the fact,we know
nothing of its authentici t 3 ).that the wife of Val
landigham, the traitor, bits become a maniac
If this be a fact, so much the blacker'the crime
of the apostate Vallandigham becomes 7 so
much the-more deserving lie .and his sympa
thizers are of the condemnation of men of boy
alty and true affection. ..But the copperhead
press endeavor to create an impression, that
the influence which -condoned to the insanity.
of Mrs. Vallandigham, is to be traced to the act
of the Government in arresting her husband.
On this point the copperhead press become very
- dolorous, endeavoring to create an odium
against the Government of sufficient weight to
enure its immediate disgrace and destruction.
—lf it is really true that Mrs. Vallandigham
has become a maniac, then indeed has treason
in her husband produced a woful effect. But
are there no other suffering women in the land
but Mrs. Vallandigham? Cannot - the copperr.
head press find words of condolence and sym
pathy fur the wives who have become widows in
the glare and flash of rebel musketry?
no! Thousands of noble wives and mothers in
the loyal States have been bereft of all that was
dear - to' them--:-of
.husbands- and- aous.slain
while 'they '4tie:'briively contending for 'the
Cunatitution, and thp Union, and yet the cop
_perhead presatient_Pri_n_t wo_r_& in gympathy_
for any of these sufferers.: The husbands and
. sons of these women, went down to death white
defending the principles of ..fr‘di.ine, and that
debars them . trona copperhead sympathy. If
they had been prinishtxkor,rproscribed as tai
lors the 'columns 'of copperhelid''pFess
would teem with sympathy for them as it now
does for the maniac wife of the traitor Vallan
dighant.
Is Curtin a Candidate
We notice a disposition of some espec ia/ f rien d
of Gov. Curtin, to mak- him a candidet:• for
re-nomination, and some who are con -idered in
siders openly declare that he will he supported
in convention, and if nominated. that "he
won't de : cline."
Are we to understand from there decima
tions that Governor Cut tin's official declination
was only a sham, and that, after all, he wants
the nomination ? Surely Gov. Curtin is not
capable of such trifling withhis political friends,
as to declare, in an official document, that he
positively and unconditionally declines a re
nomination, and afterwards go into a private
arrangement to have his name sprung upon the
convention and by getting up a sudden hue and
cry about "availability" and "popularity among
the soldiers," to crowd off every other candi
date. If there few select friends of the Gover
nor are really authorized to say, what they do
say, that he will be voted for, and that, if
nominated; be will not decline, then we can
only say that he is not quite the man .we al
ways believed hini to be.
We think Gay. Curtin owes it to himself to
say, publicly, whether these assertions,."that
he will not decline if nominated," are by him
authorized or whether he will positively refuse
to be a,candidate,, nomination or , no ;nomi*-
tion, according to his most emphatic and official
communication to - the General Assembly.
Mauch Ohm* Goodie: . . .
For-thikatisfaCtion of - diti;eotemlio rimy, we
will repeat what we announced a few days since,
that 'Gov . . Curtin - Intended, "pUblioly, While e tin
his northwestern tour, to reiterate his deter
mination of not being dcandidate for Gubenia
torial nomination before the,erisuing Rittsburg •
Convention. .. We did not- at first make this
statement upon our own individual authority ;3
but were indoced to do so, by inflitemeee: Which!
Curtin himself recogases and. approves,
and , which can only-novi be disregarded at the
risk of -veracity and personal honor. If that
publiC assurance, touching the deClination of a
re-nomination for Governor, has not been given;
at the northwest, as, we were'authorised to an
noonce it would, it cannot in the least affect,
our statement, as we intend soleunly,to insist
upon the high authority on which sve.based our
statement; not being willing to risk our Own,
veracity In a matter which so highly affects the
interests and the; influence pf ; ,the . price Ages and
the cause we advocate. . .
—With our cotemporary quoted' aboVe, wet
think it is now due, to the nubile as well as to
those who suppoit the great cause with which
the State Administration is identified, that Gov.
Curtin immediately announces whether :he in
tends to , abide assurances of hie last
message, in which he•solemnly and without
equivocation withdrew his name from among
those who are iispifizie to the aubernatarial
. Untniriatieniit the hands of the loyal:men of
Pennsylvania. ....
The Tacoma Tax.
A series of im poitint declione, jus L*Eiii itounceid
by the Commissioner of InternalAtovenne, serve
to clear up some doubtful points referenoa to
-the assessment.-of the income tax. Me.chants
pave eiprwied doubts in' regard to 'the proper
mode of• estimating their .inaome forthe year
ending with December last,- tpit the Commis
tioner defines the reqeirement ref the law as
'
; "A merchant's return of .income should cover
the
_business- of the. year 1862 f excluding pre
vious years. Uncollected accounts must be
estimated. „
"Old debts, formerly considered hopelessly
lost, but paid within theatime covered) by the
return of income, should be included in the
statement. Debts considered hopelessly lost on
Deceinber 31, 1862, and due to the business of
the year 1862, may be deducted from the profits
of business. If subsequently paid, they must
be included in the return for the year in which
paid." • -
In relation to the income of farmers the Com
missionerrules as follows
"A farmer, when making return of the total
amount of his farm produce,, shall be allowed
to deduct therefrom the subsistence of horses,
'mules, oxen and cattle used exclusively in the
carrying on of said farm. The term farm
produce is construed to InclUde all productions
of, a farm, of what nature and kind Beaver.
; the account of-stOck sold by a farmer since De
cember 31, 1862; Should not be;included. in the
present assessment, but the . profit realized
thereby : must be accounted-for in the next year's
retriin.-a ' .
"Where he has included in his return pro
quceraised by him, and fed in whole or part to
stock subsequently sold, he must account for
the gain realised by the feeding and selling of
said 'stock: Where he has not included the
preduce 'ilek 'fed, 'he must return as 'profits the
difference between the value of said stock on
the 31A day of December; 1861,' 'and the
amount' realized for theta.- - Fertilisers: par-•
chased by farmers to maintain their land in
piesent productive condition will be considered.
ee 'repairs' in estlaiating townie."
04ct . lpants.of boarding houses are held to be
entitled to the deduction allowed to payers of
house rent. The commissioner says :
• "When a person boards and relate a room or
rooms, the rent thereof, in lieu of rent of house,
should be deducted from the amount of income
subjectlo - tazation." •
The income fax is assessed upon the actual
acome of individuals; firms, as such, need not
make returns. Charitable, literary and eicien
tific institutions are wholly exempted from the
income tax. The question of taxing the in
comes of public _chtuities, which is thus defi
nitely disposedlof in Ihis country by the deci-
lion of Cernmissioner Lewis, has been made
the subject of bitter 'controversy': in England,
but Mr. Clladstone'S proposal to . impode such a
tax was recently voted down in the House of
Commons after a prolonged debate. Charities
merit this exemption.
Pidaind and America.
No sooner had the American war broke out,
than Enkla,nd and Paiute took occasion to re
dignize the tebels`as'belligerentti.- " Their baste
was evenindecent; their action was taken
without regard to the situation, and before the
struggle had assumed a stubborn 'character.—•
Ant:whit is the course of the same gOvern
raenta with regard to.PoltMd T t he inaurrec
tion began at Warsaw as early as last JannarY;
it has 1 een maintained for five months with
great spirit ; and at last ailvices, 'indeed, so far
from being suppressed, it was spreading. The.
whole of Poland, .without- reference to class or
'district, was getting more or less involved in it;
the' ussian civil officers have been mpetly with
drawn, and several not inconsiderable battles
have been fought, with a successful result gen..
erally for the insurgents:
,'Yet the Poles have
not yet been recognized air bellfgetentis. Why
is this difference ? Because the rebels were
struggling to smother the growth of freedom;
while the Polish patriots were - - ing to en
large its boundaries. Sympathy r,.d not prin
ciple cams, d the early recognition of the rebels
as belligerents , and hatred prevents the recog
nition of the Poles as such.
Who Got nil the Rebellion?.
It is a favorite game of the copperheads to
charge that the "abolitionisti" got up the war
iu which the nation is now Involved. Of course,
the subject will not bear discussion, as the facts
aie too plain to be debated. We submit these
facts, by stating -that during the adminis
tration of James Buchanan, the following events
occurred:
Dec 10, 1860. South Carolina seceded.
Jana 1i,3861. Mis3issippi seceded..
Jan. 16, 1861. Florida seceded.
Jan. 19, 1861. Georgia seceded.
Jan. 31, 1 861 . . LOuisiana revolted.
Feb. 1, 1861 Texas revolted.
Feb. 5, 1861. Arkansas revolted..
Feb. 9, 1861. Jefferson Davis was elected
President of the Southern Confederacy.
Feb 19, 1861. Jeff. Davis was inaugurated.
Now who got up the rebellion? . "17nder
which King?"

Elder, with the following remarks:
Carr Pscx—,Sir: The members of company

on the altar of their country inspire you with
courage to wield it. "
Take . it, and trusting in the "God of battles,"
may its blight blade never reflect upon you
dishonor, nor be sheathed, until thia unholy
rebellion shall be crushed.
On receiving the sword, Capt. Peck replied as

encountered heavy weather off Hatteras.
In the Deintrtimint' of the Gulf the whole
interest in military Affairs centered on Port
Hudson ' which was completely invested by the
Union forces. Gen. Banks commanded in per

New Ostrataxs, May 29.—At 1 P. Y., on Wed
neaday the battle commenced. The lines ex
tended for a distance of nearly , four miles in
front of the enemy's woiks. The extreme
right was given to Gen. Weitzel, General Grot
ver occupying the next position, Gen. Augur
the third, and Gen. Sherman the left.
On the left, the 165th New York, Lieut. Col.
Abel Smith, were ordered to discharge their
muskets and charge upon the =entre ranks.
Gen. Sherman intended to carry a section of
the fortificatiode at the point of the bayonet.
The 2d Duryea Zonaves and the 177th New
York made a desperate onset, and were met by
a rain storm of bullets. lieut. Col. Smith, of
the former regiment, was severely wounded.
Finding it impossible to successfully accomplish
the daring purpose, a retreat was effected.
Col. Clark of the 6th Michigan carried the
colors of his 'regiment iniide the first line of
fortifications, and raised them upon' the rebel
flagstaff. The 128th New York, Cul. Cowles,
immediately followed, and were within the
walls of the earthwork, when both regiments
were forced to retire on account of a lack of
support by the 16th New Hampshire. = Ord.
Cowles was killed.
Col. Clark was so terribly stunned by a shell
while retreating that he remained senseless for
an hour. He escaped uninjured, and was con
spicuous for bravery and enthusiasm. Gen. Neal
Dow was slightly wounded, and Gen. Sherman
rallied• and took charge of Dow's brigade, when
he received a compound fracture of the. right
leg from- a gray" shot. Gen. Sherman's oork.
duct is highly applauded.
The 3d regiment Louisiana Salve Guards,
Col. Nelson, attracted great attention for their
undaunted bravery. They sastaintd a loss of

Gen Banks moved from point to point along
the lines with perfect coolness. His quick eye
would detect a laggard movement or an unpro
tected position, and an aid would be dispatched
with instructions. He indulged in no vain
dis_play of staff officers. . -
The:fight was without doubt renewed at day
break yesterday. The, most perfect confidence
was felt that,the rebel stronghold would suc

TOE BOMBARDMENT CONTINUED ON MONDAY.
CONFLAGRATION IN THE CITY
Grant's Numbers and Position: Impregnable.
PROSPECTS CHEERING
The dispatch boat General Lyon, from
Vicksburg, which she left on Monday night,
has arrived.
The firing was kept up all of Monday.
Gen. Sherman!s troops, on the right wing,
could be , seen in motion.
When the General Lyon left; at midnight, a
conflagration was going on in the city. Some
supposed that our shells had set the buildings
on fire, and others conjectured that the rebels
were destroing bripplies preharatory to
surrender.
General Grant's numbers and position will
be absolutely impregnable in a few days. Par
ticulars cannot be given, but they are of the
most cheering character.
As the steamers Chancellor and Atlantic,
loaded with troops, were near Island No. 82,
on Wednesday, they were fired on by guerillas
from the Misaisiippi shore ; one captain and
two privates were killed and several wounded.

IVO CABPENTEBS, BUILDERS AND HOUSE
11 OWNERS.—I offer Dana Bickford's Patent
Spring Balance and Fastener for Window Sash,
to take the place of weights. It is the most
complete and useful invention ever pit in. the
market. -It-balances the sash perfectly at any
point as well as weights. It requires no ex
pense for boxing, .and can be applied to old as
well as new buildings, without any &iteration
in the frames. . It does not balance by friction,
but by means of the , strength of a coiled spring,
with a cord attached to the sash, the same as
the cords of weights; with the addition of the
sash lock, it renders it the moat perfect and
economical arrangement offered to the public,
being a' - saving of one-half the oust in each
window frame, and giving the advantages of
cords and weights, without its liability to get
out of order. "As a door spring it is perfect."
