INCREASE OF TAXATION.
The policy which it became necessary for the
government to adopt in order to sustain its
authority, that of levying a tax, is being more
fully AndersoNal and appreciatedmaa its great
r i emiddes become apparent to the discrimina
tion and judgment of the people,l*hen Con
grass became convinced that such a plan only
could suppinehe government with the neces
sary nreurceS=to carry on this: war, its next
great,,tlnty sp;emed. to le the. levied of this
tax, s 6 as to keep its tertian; froin the laboring
classes of the communities, and make capital
sustain tko,,,yewnent to whichit has ever been
`nioiTtidebted for Its increase and accumulation.
This the law has fairly done, but there is a
chance of a great imposition being practiced in
a, - qiaarter'which the law cannot reabh or pre
vent,-and which, if indulged in, will be the
means of imposing great burdens on a. clam of
men whinithis law of taxation to support >tiie
war designed to protect and exonerate. We
allude to the landlords of all our larger towns
and cities; - Miiiclass'of people are , generally
disposed to make their property pay the very
hilOri, rates of interests, by rent charges which,
iflevied on the cap4al invested in their-proper

to raise them because , his taxes have been in
creased, will not only be lacking in patriotism;
but in a moral sense will be guilty of a sort of
usury, which - the indignation of the commts
nity should visit with the 'severest condemna
tion.' Aside froni'theiNiar expenses, the system
of rentals is nothing more than a mode many
capitalists have of compelling their tenants to
pay their taxes, and Yet, these same landlords
become exceedingly eloquent when their names
appear On the assessor's list with swelling
amounts of taxes attached to them.. Deluded
people believe that such amounts are deducted
a
from fair interest on their money invested in
property, in the shape of rents, but when these
rate are rated, and the interest on the capital

We direct the attention of the public to this
matter, in. order to guard them against impost

The following 'correspondence: between the
ladies of Lewisburg, Union 'county, and the
Governor• Of Pennsylvania, is of great interest
and importance , at this particular Juncture,
when It is known thatthe'Quarter Master's De-.
plitment is seriously deficient in the article of
blankets. The market In the east. las ban
completely drained of such goals,. while the
manufacturers almost everywhere are now
wholly engaged with labor to fill up the orders
of the general goveniment. ':Under these cif"
cumstances the state of. Pennsylvania can do no'.
'better; than ~r utscipt. the oiler of the' ladies
of the commonwealth to supply this 'de-I
ficiench , while the work which the ladies thus
assume is alike benefittkur their station, then
patriotism and their regard for theft fathers,i
brothers, husbands and sons who have one
beyond the limits of the state to contend witht
treason on the backs of the Potomac.
It is presumed that the 'Quarter"Master's De
partment will arrange some planbywhichthese
blankets can be forwarded from' certain locali-
ties in the state, after they have been collected!
'and sent to such• Places by cominittees hereafter,
' to . beappointed. ,' These committees should tits
formed intities; 'botougha, towns and to ini-i
Ships, and -every hommkeeper appealed to for a ,
atatribution. -In the state theta' is seemly it
family but Whattan ctadribute a single blanket,
whilerhundrads a others can contribute even
more. , Admitting this,- there must- be no delay,
in collecting and forwarding thesetontdbutions,
while it becomes the < press mit the people to
second the pattiotiC efforts ofthe 'ladies by bn
mediate, action on the subject.

he had gathered up.to the time he was injured.
That portion of Idaryland, the neighborhood of
Port Tobatioct,,Wiltot bed of secessionism; and
has _been a serious annoyanoe to. the Union
Mere is the most positive evidence that pois
oned Muria balls are teed in the rebel army,
and evidence is afforded that they are manufaq
tured in the North. Lest week five members
of the Indiana regiment, northwest of the
Chain Bridge were out scouting, and discovered
a party of ab ort seventy-five rebeltroops. Our
men concealed themseves in -the Is:tithes, lay
down, and fired togethiar. They • killed one of
the.enemy • the others Bedoleaving one, who
hung over ; .the
dying comrade, probably a-rehv
tive, until he was captured. In lit pea session
were discovered a number Of Allnie ,each
of which hada deposit of arsenic in it, covered
withtallow. He was asked what the object
w~aass in using ill9#B‘ ; balls . lieHe' l explained that,
"ey had not many of them yet,, and: ere only
used -by those sent out -con picket or scouting
duty. He said they came from the • North,-i
-that they, lutd`not received , many yet, but were
promised a larger supply.
In oonnection- with this, my informant, a
very reliable brigade' Surgeon says, that a man
was shOt the Fourteenth hetssachusetts Begi,
went by a rebel picket, whose body, imme
diately after the ball entered his flesh; swelled
up, and the patient died. Thercase was minute,
ly described to him by Captain Bradley, of
hiethuen r who is in the Fourteenth Itegimentt
The surgeon considers this a clear case of poison,
contained in the ball. , ,
