SUBSCRIBED FOR IN CLUBS OF NOT LESS
THAN TEN COPIES TO ONE. ADDRESS!
We have been compelled to raise the club subscription
price to one dollar and fifty cents in order to save our
selves from actual loss. Paper has risen, including
taxes, about twenty-five per cent., and is still rising;
and when we tell our Democratic friends, candidly, that
we can no longer afford to sell the Weekly PITEISTAND
UNION at one dollar a year. and must add fifty cents or
stop the publication, we trust they will appreciate our
position, and, instead of withdrawing their subscrip
tions, go to work with a will to increase our list in every
county in the State. We have endeavored, and shall
continue our efforts, to make the paper useful as a party
organ, and welcome as a news messenger to every fam
ily. We flatter ourselves that it MC SO been without
some influence in producing the glorious revolution in
the politics of the State achieved at the late election
and if fearlessness in the discharge of duty, fidelity to
the principles of the party, and an anxious desire to pro
mote its interests, with tome experience and a moderate
degree of ability, can be made serviceable hereafter, the
Weekly PATRIOT AND UNION Will not be less useful to
the party or less welcome to the family circle in the fti
tnre than it has been in the past. We confidently look
• for increased encouragement in this great enterprise,
and appeal to every influential Democrat la the Pt , te to
lend us his aid in running war subscription list up to
twenty or thirty thiamin& The salience vs stab India .
vidual is trilling. the• heuefit to the party may he great.
Believing that the Democracy of the State feel the ne
cessity ortolan'. uit; a re•irlese central organ, we mete
this appra to them for asastauce with the fullest coufl•
dense 41f an mewl.
The same reasons which induce as to raise the price
of the Weekly. operate in regard to the Daily paper, the
price of which is also increased. Theadditioual cost to
each subscribtr will be but trifling; and, while we can
not persuade ourselves that the change necessarilymade
will result in any diminution of our daily circulation,
yet. were v e certain that such would be the conse
quence. we Should still be compelled to make it, er suf
fer a =inure: toss, Under these circumstances we must
throw ourselvige upon the generosity, or, rather, the'
justice of the public, and abide their verdict, whatever
it may be.
The period for which many of our eabsoribers hare
paid for their paper being on the eve of expiring, we
take the liberty of issuing this notice, reminding them
of the eame, in order that they may
RENEW THEIR . CLUBS.
We shall also take it as an especial favor if our present
subscribers will urge upon their neighbors the fact that
the PATRIOT AND UNION is the Only Democratic paper
printed in Harrisburg, and considering the large amount
of reading matter, embracing all the current news of
the day, and
TELEGRAPHIC
. DISPATCHES
itEcimoyeriryakereLip to the moment the paper goes to
press, political, miacellaneotts, general and local news
market reports, is decidedly the
CHEAPEST NEWSPAPER PUBLISHED IN
THE STATE!
There is scarcely a village or town in the State in
which a club cannot be raised if ;the proper exertion be
made, and surely there are few places in which one or
more energetic men cannot be found who are in favor of
the dissemination of sound Democratic doctrines, who
would be willing to make the effort to raise a club.
DEMOCRATS OF THE INTERIOR !
Let ue hear from yet. The a:Ming war, and the ap
proaohing sessions of Oongress and the state Legisla

N. B.—The following law, passed by Congress in 1560,
defines the duty of Postmasters in relation to the de
livery of newspapers to club subscribers
(See Lilts, Brown 4 Co.'s anon of the Laws of 1860,
page 88:chapter 181, salient. 1.)
"Provided, however, that where packages of new pa
pers or periodicals are received at any post office directed
to One addreile, MI th e names of the club subscribers to
which they belong, with the postage for a quarter in ad
vance, shall be handed to the postmaster, he shall de
liver the same is their respective owners."
To enable the Postmaster to comply with this regula
tion, it will be necessary that be be furnished with the
list of names composing the club, and paid a quarter's
(or year's) postage in advance. The uniform courtesy
of Postmasters, affords the assurance that they will
cheerfuliyaccommodate club Subscribers, and the latter
should take care that the postage, which is but a trifle
in each case, be paid in advance. Send on the clubs.

"rejected as physically or mentally unfit for

rea; their existence to be adequately deter
mined.

ciency am a soldier.

solitary vice, in degree sufficient to have mate
rially enfeebled the constitution.
10. Chronic rheumatism, unless manifested
by positive change of structure, wasting of
the affected limb, or puffiness or distortion of
the joints does not exempt. Impaired motion
of the joints and contraction of the limbs al
leged to arise from rheumatism, and in which
•the nutrition of the limb is not manifestly im
paired, are to be proved by examination while
in a state of anaesthesia induced by ether
only.
11. rain, whether simulating headache,
neuralgia in any of its forms, rheumitiem,
lumbago, or affections of the muscles, bones or
joints is a symptom of disease so easily preten
ded that it is not to be fidglitted as a cause for
exemption unless accompanied with manifest
derangement of the general health, wasting of
a limb, or °the!. positive signs of disqualifying
local disease. -
12. Great injuries or diseases of the skull,
occasioning impairthent of the intellectual fa

mia, fistula laehrymalis, ptosis, (if real,) ec
tropion, entropion, &a. Myopia, unless very
decided or depending upon some structural
change in the eye, is not a cause for exemp
tion.
15. Loss of nose; deformity of nose so great
as seriously to obstruct respiration ; ozena, de
pendent upon caries in progress.
16. Complete deafness. This disability must
not be admitted on the mere statement of the
nrafted man, but must be proved by the exist
ence of positive disease or by other satisfactory
evidence. Purulent ottorrhcea.
17. Caries of the superior or inferior maxilla
of the nasal or palate bones, if in progress ;

tial loss of tongue, provided the mutilation be

sary use of the organ.
20. Hypertrophy or atrophy of the tongue,
sufficient in a degree' to impair speech or de
glutton ; obstinate chronic ulceration of the
tongue.
21. Stammering, if excessive and confirmed ;

less than two inches.
27. Abdomen grossly protuberant ; exces
sive obesity ; hernia, either inguinal or femo
ral. .
28. Artificial anus ; stricture of the rectum ;
prolapsus anni. Fistula in ano is not a posi
tive disqualification, but may be so if extensive

THE INCOME TAX.
The first of May is the time designated by
the tax law for the assessment of the tax on
incomes, the present assessment being for the
year ending December 31, 1862. Every per
son, whether in business or not, including those
noting in a fiduciary character as guardians,
trustees, and administrators, must return to
the assistant assessors a statement of all the
receipts of their business or property of every
kind and description, and the assessors will
decide what deductions are to be made. This
tax is annual, and the assessments will be sub
mitted to, examination, and appeals may be ta
ken. If persons refuse to make a statement of
their income,
or the statement is not deemed
a
to be true,list will be made on the best in
formation the assessors can obtain, subject to
the oath or affirmation of the persons assessed,
as prescribed by the law. In taxing trust funds
the exemption of $6OO will not be made unless
oath is made that the minor or beneficiary has
no other income from which the $6OO exemption
can be made. The following succinct abstract
of the law relating to this annual tax will be
found useful in guiding persons in making out
a statement of their incomes, and also gives
the deductions to be made by the assessors.
Mechanics, merchants, and manufacturers
will return the whole amount of the. avails or
revenue of their business, and a statement of
the expense of the same, for labor, material,
&c. Co-partners will return their share or
interest in the co-partnership income. Corpo
raters the amount of profits, whether in the
form of dividends or otherwise. Evidences of
debt, for adjusted accounts, will be valued as
if the person was making an inventory of the
same on settlement of an estate.
Farmers will return the value of the produce
of the farm. If a portion of the same has been
"fed out" to stock for sale, the value of the
stock fattened, &0., will be returned ; also all
sales of such stock. (This will avoid the pay
ment of a double tax, viz : both for the pro
duct of the farm—grain, hay, &c., and the in
come from the stock fattened from the same.)
No deduction will be made for the labor or
service of himself or family. Expenses of
hired help will be deducted; also all payment
for rent, insurance, ordinary repairs, interest
on mortgages, &c. No deduction will be made
for any portion of the products of the farm
consumed in the family. Produce on hand
December 31,1862, must be valued at the then
market price.
Salaried men will return the full amount of
the salaries they receive, whether fixed by sta
tutes or agreement, or derived from fees, Ste.
Previous to September 1, 1862, no deduction
of three per cent. was made from salaries of
persons in the employ of the United States. It
follows that the gross amount received between
January 1, 1862, and August 31, 1862, inclu
sive, must be returned.
A return must be made of the income or di
vidends derived from stock in any bank, insu
rance company, savings institution, trust
company, railroad, railroad bonds, steamboat,
ferryboat or bridge, between Jan. 1, 1862, and
Aug. 31, 1862, inclusive.
The net gains or profits of manufacturers are
to be taxed under section ninety of the law,
without regard to the fact that they have al
ready paid a tax. The exemption contained in
the original statute was removed by the amend
.ment of " March 3,1863."
All income received from bonds,' mortgates,
notes, stock in gas companies or manufacturing

All income received from telegraph or ex-
press companies, or profits made by express
men, are to be taxed, if received between the
first of January, 1862, and September 30, 1862,
inclusive.
Persons whose income does not exceed
$lO,OOO, and who reside in the United States,
are liable to a tax of three per cent, upon all
such part thereof as is non-exempt. Exceeding
$lO,OOO, five per cent. Providing, however,
that income derived from United Stateo,3oootri
ties shall be subject to a duty of one and a half
per cent. only. Citizens of the United States
residing abroad, and not in the employment of
the-United States, are subject to a duty of five
per cent. upon their property,' stock, or secu
rities, and upon those one and a half per cent.
The following deductions will also be made
from the aggregate income of any person, and
the tax levied upon the remainder, viz :
State and local taxes of the calendar year
January 1, 1862, to DeceMber 31.
Salaries of United States officials from which
has been already deducted by disbursing officers

and other moneyed corporations from which
the statute tax of three per cent. has already
been deducted or retained (i. e.) since August

which a duty shall already have been paid.
The sum of $6OO, except in those cases irt
which the $6OO has already been deducted

owner, is not deducted.)
The amount of hired labor, and value of the
board of such labor.
Persons receiving rent are entitled to deduct
the cost of repairs, insurance and interest on.
incumbrance upon tented property. The cost
of extraordinary repairs, new structures, &c.,
will in no case be deducted.
In referring to this tax the Phiadelphia Age
remarks
anis. a fact that the income tax, from the
manner it is levied, and the inquisitorial
method of ascertaining the amount to be as
sessed on each tax-payer, is the most onerous
of all that can be inflicted on a free people;
while,•on the other hand, its yield seldom
reaches more than half the estimates. Real
estate is the only species of property which.
cannot be concealed, and it is for this reason.
that it cannot escape the assessor like personal
property which may be transferred from hand
to hand."
The Chicago Post expresses itself on the
same subject as follows:
f'On Friday last there became due and paya
ble to the United States the income tax. That
is a tax laid by Congress upon the earnings
and proceeds of the labor and capital of the
country. All persons are required to furnish
the Federal tax officer a statement of all the
moneys received by him' during the year end
ing April 30, 1863. From the aggregate re
ceipts, whether it be laborers'..or mechanics'
earning, clerks' salaries,,,or , dealers' profits, or
interest, or rents,_or capital; thereis to be de
ducted the sum of six hundred dollars, and - on
the excess a tax of three per.eent. is levied by
law, which the party upon whomit, is levied
must pay. If we understand the law correctly,
in addition to the exceptions 'of six hundred
dollars, the law exempts the amount paid for
house rent. This will, therefore, leave to every
householder six hundred dollars and the
amount of his house rent free from taxation.—
Those housekeepers who own their dwellings
will have to pey on all their income over six
hundred dollars.
"Every person whose salary or wages ex
ceeds twelve dollars a week, will have to pay
the three per cent. tax on all sums above that
amount. In estimating the income of a person,
be is required to state (and on oath, if the as
sessor demand it ;) the actual sums received by
him durint the year from all sources, whether
as eaiinge of labor, rent of houses, dividends
on stocks, interests on investments, &a. The
entire business of every man must be dieeldsed,
and the means of living of all exhibited to the
public. The assessor makes the legal deduc
tions, and collects the taxes upon the residue.
No more searching tax law was ever passed
by any government, and nothing like this was
ever previously known in this country. It re
quires the farmer to disclose the amount, of
produce of, every kind raised during the last
year, with the amount of money received there
for. He is allowed the credit of six hundred
dollars, and the amount paid by him for labor
in producing his crops, raising his stock, &c.
On the balance he must pay the tax of three
per cent.
41 We do not think the amount y.
, realized b
this law, after deducting its expenses, will be
very great. The principal source of revenue
will be from capitalists ; from those whose in
come, after deducting all allowances, will ex
ceed three thousand dollars.
" The law, as we have said, exempts six
hundred dollars and the amount paid for house
rent. These exemptions will release the vast
majority of the people. The annual gross in
come of two-thirds of the people does not
exceed one thousand dollars per year. The
exemptions will cover nearly if not quite that
amount. But upon farmers the tax will fall
with oppressive severity. We suppose the as
sessors will soon be around with their lists, and
the public must be prepared to show their busi
ness affairs to the revenue officer."
We have but little to say on this tax question
to the public, but what we hare to say is di
rectly to the point. Make fair returns—pay
your assessment without grumbling. The ne
cessities growing out of this glorious war is
which we are engaged require it—the necessi
ties of the poor enslaved negro require it—and
these necessities must be met.
IT is related that one day last week a large,
red-faced woman, with a porter's load of ex
pensive finery upon her person, entered the
largest jewelry store in New York, and inqui
ring for diamonds, a magnificent assortment of
rings, brooches, ear-rings, necklaces, etc.,
were spread before her. From these she se
lected three thousands five hundred dollars
worth, which she requested might be sent to
her house with the bill. The clerk would find
her ,husband at home, she said, and be would
pay for them. A pen and card were handed to
her, and'she was requested to write her address.
She hesitated, her broad face turned from red
to crimson, and finally, in great confusion, she
made her mark (a big cross) on the card, and
tossing it to the salesman, said : "Thar ; I
haint time to write, but I guess he'll know
that." The illiterate queen of diamonds was a
contractor's wife.
