MAJOR GENERAL WOOL
From all accounts, the soldier whose name
beads this article, is escaping one diffi
culty only to get into another. The arrest
of Rev. Hay was scarcely adjusted, and the
great outrage thus committed properly relieved,
when the old gentleman, Wool, gets himself
into another equally shameful scrape. It is the
arrest of a number of persons in Baltimore for
preparing a memorial to the President asking
the removal of General Wool for alleged mili
tary incompetency and tyrannical deportment.
The Washington Republican, in referring to this
transaction, declares that if this be so, we may
well ask whither are we drifting? Has it come
to this, that a general's conduct is not to be
criticised, nor his removal to be prayed for,
except at the peril of being sent to prison ?
If this be true, the President should at once
release the men imprisoned by this despotic
power of a mere general of the army, and re•
lease him also, and send him back to Troy. No
more proof than this, it seems to us, is needed
to show his incompetency.
We wait for the speedy clearing up or the
speedy action of the Government in this be
half, The lord cause will not suffer, if a num
ber of men we wot of, with shoulder straps, be
sent to Coventry.
We agree with the Republican, and hope that
this attempt to deprive the Nople of the right
of petition, will be rebuked as it deserves to be,
by the government. It is bad enough if a
lojal man can be dragged from his home for
attempting to secure the rights and the com
forts of those who were injured in the service
of the government, but when the right of pe
tition is denied, the right to life and liberty is
also in danger.
AN BONORABLE ACQUITTAL
Under this heading, in our telegraphic col
umns, yesterday, we announced the fact that
Joseph C. Hays, late Postmaster' at Meadville,
Pa., who was removed on the charge of S.
Newton Pettis, of having opened a letter
written by him, was honorably acquitted of
the charge. His trial was before the Uni
ted States District Court, at Pittsburg, and we
would have been contented to let the notice of
yesterday, with the statement of the fact, sub
serve the interest which our readers have in
the case, did riot the circumstances in this
most remarkable trial justify a further refer
ence, as well as did not other facts connected
with the verdict demand publicity. From the
Pittsburg Dispatch we learn that the jury not
only rendered a verdict of acquittal for Mr.
Hays, in answer to the charge of Mr. Pettis, but
they actually and unanimously recommended
that the President of the Vnited States should re
instate Mr. Rays as Post Master at Meadville.
The circumstances of this case are briefly
these: Mr. Pettis was in the habit of frequent
ing the Poet office at Meadville, and like many
other officious individuals, was presumptuously
attending to the business of the Postmaster
with more zeal than he attended to his own
affair's. In his officiousness he offered to write
to New York city in regard to some change in
the mail service, using the name of Mr. Hays
for the signature to the letter, and it was this
letter that Mr. Hays opened, naturally curious
to know what another had written for him, in
a business in which his oath was involved for
its faithful discharge. Because of this fact,
and save, al months after the occurrence, Pettis
brought charges against Postmaster Hays,
swore them through the Department at Wash
ington, had Mr. Hays .removed and then was
instrumental in bringing about this suit The
sequel to this business is already known. Jo
seph C. Hays has been honorably acquitted,
and we would be doing injustice to our own
feelings if we did not thus in detail allude to
the circumstances of his case. No more up
right, irreproachable or useful man than Jo
seph C. Hays, lives in the broad common
wealth of Pennsylvania. The attempt to rain
him and thus degrade his family, was alike
cowardly and fiendish, and in the face of the
clear vindication of his official acts and; per
sonal reputation, Mr. Hays owes it to justice,
his family and his friends, to bring the con
spirator who so wantonly struck at his charac
ter, to prompt and stern justice.
WNW Till SOUTH was hurled into secession,
there were but two parties iu the South—the
Democratic or Secession and the Republican.
It is true, that at that time there were few, very
few, Abolitionists in the Southern States, but
the-Secessionists, to better make their conspira
cy sucetsful, applied that then approbrious ep
ithet-to all who opposed their treason. As the
Secessionists did then, so is the traitor-tainted
branch of the Democratic party doing now.
They harp upon nothing. bntlithe Abolitionists.
Fanatical as they are, they cannot discern that
there is far more political respectability attach
ed to the term now than there was two years
since. Nine out of ten of the people of the
North, and no doubt a large per cent. of the
population of the South, would rejoice if sla
very was totally abolished, and the unfortu
nate negro disposed of in some way so as net
to interfere with the white race.
We have become a nation almost of Aboli
tionists, for the sentiment is held, by nearly
all outside and two-thirds inside of the Demo
'ratio party. The idea of again building up,
e xtending and rendering more powerful the
institution of slavery, is entertained only by
the remnants of Southern chivalry, and their
liekspittles in the North.
EIGHT THOUSAND WOMEN
Have signed a petition which is now before the
President, praying for the removal of all in
competent, negligent, knavists or drunken men
from positions of command in the army. Eight
thousand wives, mothers and sisters of men in
the American Army, petitioning thus to the
President of the United States, demand the
respect and the support of every true man in
the - country. The President dare not disregard
this petition. Its objects are too holy and its
end too beneficent, to be passed over without
an immediate and thorough attention to the
business which it proposes. We all know that
there are incompetent men in the army. The
evidence before a dozen courts of inquiry has
established the fact that there are knavist men
in the service. Devastation and death have
verified the negligence of those now in
command. And as far as the drunkards are
concerned, God have mercy on them, as they
stagger through our streets, insulting His name,
degrading the humanity with which He en
dowed them, and disgracing the uniforms which
the misconfidence and the money of the govern
ment placed upon their backs. Nobody will
accuse us of using either strong or exaggera
ted language. Our streets exhibit this drunk
enness daily and nightly, and if the police
would do their duty, its shameful evidence
would be preserved upon the criminal records
of the magistrates of the city. Will any man
blame uti for making this assertion P It there is
such a one, let him visit the gilded saloons of
debauchery and drunkenness which invite men
to eternal death by Participating in the intem
perance to which they are lured. Have we
senses, feeling, fear or regardif If we have, we
must not be dumb or silent on this subject
Good men and bravb men are being drawn into
the fearful vortex. Without the ability to
quaff a flaming draught of death, and without
the power of profanation, the officer is half the
time regarded as little qualified for position,
by those who make wine bibbing and brandy
guzzling the mark of manhood. God help the
youth and valor which are marshalled in the
ranks of the army for such men to command.
Their battles must only be defeats, as long' as
led by drunkards. Their struggles must end
in disgrace where intemperance poste the army,
and lust and gaming advance as pioneers. Hear
these eight thousand wives and mothers, then,
Abraham Lincoln. Strike from the lists of the
army every man who is known to be a drunk
ard. Remove from politions of command, the
knavish and the vicious. Give us men to lead
our heroes, and our armies will win victories
which will make liberty eternal and your name
immortal
By all that is holy, patriotic and glorious,
and for the sake of the mothers, wives and
daughters of those who are in the ranks of the
army, we hope that Abraham Lincoln will an
swer the appeal of those eight thousand noble,
brave and thoughtful American women.
HAS PENNSYLVANIA NO MILITARY
GENIUS
We often ask ourselves this question, when
looking over the long list of officers in the
army, and seeing so few among those of a
higher grade, made up of Pennsylvanians.
There is nor a Commonwealth in the Union;
that equals the Keystone State in numerical
strength in the armies of the Republic. There
are no regiments which have done more or
harder fighting. Let the army speak in cor
roboration of these declarations. Let our bat
tle worn, decimated and almost destroyed forces
answer. Month after mouth witnesses the
contributions of men from our limits, not alone
to the volunteer forces, or by the draft, but to
the regular army—and still the pettiest eastern
commonwealth or the youngest and most pre
sumptuous western territory, we may almost
assert, outranks Pennsylvania, and assumes the
command, where our boys must do the fight
ing. We have heard some bitter complaint on
the subject, and it is about time that the mat
ter was properlynnderstood by those who have
the appointment of officers to higher grade.
We have a case in point, to which we now
call attention for the purpose of sustaining the
justice of our protest. Brigadier General
Briggs, of Massachusetts, (quite recently ap
pointed) has just taken the command of a
brigade composed entirely of Pennsylvania
troops. Gen. Briggs may be competent and he
may be deserving, but his promotion should be
made among the men of Massachusetts. Penn
sylvania has the ability to furnish commanders
for her own men, if the War Department will
have the justice to make the appointment.
We have such men as Knipe, Hartranft,
Allabach, whom we just now remember, but of
whom there are any number, all qualified to
command brigades formed of our own men.
We hope our cotemporarles will Rive the sub
ject some attention. Let us not forget the de
serving mi n from this state, who are now in
the field. Let us remember that in this fight,
Pennsylvania only struggles for the safety of
the country and the vindication of her own
honor. She fights neither for pay or position,
but she fights for the consideration due to men
who know what is due to the right.
Tim NATIONAL DE:BT.—The representations
made in some quarters that the public debt has
reached $2,000,000,000 is a gross and unwar
rantable exaggeration. On the first day of the
present month, we learn authoritatively, it was
only $620,000,000, and is now less than $660,-
000,000. This amount includes the entire cir
culation and every species of notes and between
$70,000,000 and $80,000,000 debt of the late
Administration ; but excepts claims for which
no requisitions have yet been made. The
claims adjusted and unadjusted cannot exceed
$20,000,000.
Tam was very justly, remarks the Lebanon
Courier, does not affect the prosperity of the
farming interests, as grain is probably twenty
per cent. higher to-day than it would be if we
had no war. The high premium on gold is an
advantage to all the interests which export,
and tiethe farmers are in that list, they neces
eerily reap some of the harvest. If their taxes
should be somewhat heavier, the increased
prices the war has brought them would enable
them to meet their taxes without feeling them
a burden.

The Tax Law—What it Requires•
The following convenient summary of the
Tax-law is given in Ihompson's Reporter:
Bankers (not corporate banks) pay a license
of $lOO
Bankers receive deposits, discount, and pay
checks and'drafts.
Brokers pay a licenee of $6O
Brokers buy and sell specie, uncurrent money,
stocks and exchange.
Banks that do any brokerage business as
defined above must take out a broker's
license of $5O
Land warrant dealers must pay a license of 25
BOND mar) Kortiouti.- 1 -Btamps are required
for each instrument ; one for thebond and one
for the mortgage.
The income tax is to be paid on the income
of the year commencing January 1, 1862, so
that on the evening. of the 31st of December
everybody should 'have' a very pleat record of
their income,, gains or profits for the year. And
as mady'sburcei of income, such' as dividends
and railroad bonds and stock, insurance stock,
savings bank interest, etc., (they having already
paid the income tax), are not again tixeu, it
therefore becomes necessary to have a clear re
cord of the sources of income, that thertmay
be no dispute with the assessor.
The income tax for the year 1862 Is payable
on the Ist of May, 1868.
A man in business must make up the net pro
fits of his business for the you, and pay the tax
on the amount, less $6OO.
A man may, outside of his business, spend
all and even more than his profits in business ;
nevertheless he must pay tax on all net business
profits except the $6OO. And so with a salary;
all over $6OO must be taxed, though personal
or family expenses consume it all.
Checks, drafts, and orders for money;whetber
at sight or on time, if for sums of $2O or Tinder,
are not required to be stamOd.
Notes of hand, doe bills, &c , if for sums of
$2O or under, are not required to be stamped.
Certificates of deposit, for any amount, require
atarups ; two cents ior $lOO , and under ; five
cents for all over $lOO.
All checks and sight drafts fdr sums over $20,.
require only 2 cents for any amount .
Time drafts an&notes require stamps in pro
portion to the amount ; 8 cents add , upward.
Foreign drafts, if single or solo,whether at
eight or on time, are on the.same scale as inland
time drafts and notes of hand ; but if drawn in
sets, the first; second and third must each be
stamped according to the scale for foreign bills
in sets ; 8 cents and upward.
The payer is required to stamp bills made
abroad at the time of accepting, if on time ;
and at the time of paying, if at sight.'
The
The party attaching or first using the stamp,
is required to cancel it by putting his initials
and the date upon it. The penalty for not
doing BO is fifty dollars ; but in case the maker
of the instrument omits to cancel the stamp,
the party receiving it, or the payer, may cancel
it. This, however, will net relieve the maker
from the penalty.
After naming a few "certificates," such as
shares of stock, deposits, &c. the law says,
"certificates of any other description than those
specified, ten cents."
A great many papers in common use will be
necessarily changed in form; from a.certificate
to an assertion of fact. In other words:
A thousand and one dodges to avoid the
stamp act will be adopted, but as a general
thing, good business men will pay, the tax on
their money transactions, rather than asst to
a dodge that maiiiiMay not stand in law.
