CLEARFIELD, PA., DEC. 20, 1865.
Payment op Commutation Does Not
Exempt from Bounty Tax. An import
ant ca.se, and one in which the public in
general are interested to a considerable ex
tent, was disposed of in the District Court of
Allegheny county, a few weeks ago. It
was presented in the form of a stated case
in which the School Directors of Pluni
Township, were plaintiffs, and John Ewer
was defendant. The facts of the case are as
follows : John Ewer, a citizen of said town
ship was drafted in July 1863, under the act
of Congress, paid the $300 commutation
and was discharged from further liabiltty.
In 1864,a Bounty tax.under thojprovision.of
the Bounty acts of Pennsylvania, was assess
ed and levied on him, amounting to $55,
by the School Directors of said township,
which he refused to pa-, claiming that he
was exempted under the exemptions in said
Bounty act, and hence this stated case.
The point of law submitted to the Court for
its decision was, whether he, having paid
the commutation in 1S63, was liable to pay
a bounty tax under the provisions of said
act. Messrs. Moflfit and Cochran appeared
for the School Directors, and B. G. Child.,
x-jq., ior me ueicnuant. uer Hearing tne
arguments of the counsel, the Court decid
ed that the payment of commutation did
not bring the defendant within the excep
tions contained in the 4th section of said
act, therefore he was liable to pay said tax,
and ordered judgment to be entered in favor
ot the plaintiffs for $55, theamourt of tax
so assessed and levied on him, as a citizen
of said township.

A PIEE BBAUD.
It will be fresh in the minds of our read
ers that the Episcopal House of Bishops
adjourned without issuing its usual Pasto
ral letter.and that the Pastoral submitted by
BLshop McIlvaine was rejevted by the
House for fear of wounding Southern ser.si
bilities. It was pronounced a "fire-brand'
thrown into the convention, . in regard to
which there could be no higher chris.ian
duty than to throw it out again. In com
mon with all intelligent readers, we have
erer since been curious to know what this
fire-brand was. At last we are gratified.
It was agreed, a a compromise, that Bish
op McIlvaine should be allowed to issue
his Pastoral as his individual act, and that,
distinguished prelate has just done so, in
the form of a Pastoral to his own Diocese.
We give it below, with something like
amazement that it should have been so bit
terly and, successfully opposed, outside of
the most disloyal district of the most dism
al Southern State. The following is the
pa-sage which seems to have been the bug
bear to the Episcopal brethren : ,
What has God wrought for us, as citizens
and members ot the Church, in his late and
most signal Providences towards our nation
and Government ! Looking back to days
wnen clouds and darkness were roiind about
us, with what wonder ana praise should we
contemplate the great and happy changes
which, under God's mighty hand, have
come upon the condition and prospects of
our recently most afflicted land. - All along
the sad yearsof our late great contest for
the preservation of our Government and
Union, in days of special humiliation and
prayer, and every day, we entreated our
Heavenly Father so to deliver us that war
might be no trior in our borders ; that re
sistance to the authority of the National
Government raft; hi utterly cease ; that all
bitterness, wrath, and-auger might be pat
away rem the hearts of men on both sides
of the contest that aiHicied us; that peace,
union and and concord might be restored to
the nation, and brotherly feliowsliip and uni
ty to our beloved Church. Blessed be God
our prayers, with those of Christian breth
ren in other Communions, were not in vain.
. God has not dealt with us after our sins.
His compassions have not failed. War has
ceased. Preeious peace has come. The Na
tional Union is preserved. The authority
of the National Government is universally
restored, bitterness and anger are wonder
fully passing away. That great source of
dissension and evil feeling, involuntary ser
vitude, is considered on all 6i'des, as hav
ing found its end." The means of education
and improvement are being extended among
those who have been delivered from the
yoke of bondage. Obstacles in their way
are beine removed." Vast and essential in
ternal changes, affecting the whole fabric of
society in the Seuthern States,' are acquies
ced in which a spirit of wisdom and harmo
ny which promises the happiest results.
And lastly, what was witnessed in our
late general Convention, the first fruits of
an ingathering of brethren into a re-union,
which we have reason to believe will be uni
versal through the Dioceses of our late di
vided Church first fruits in the return of
Bishops to their former seats in the House
of Bishops, who.'in the spirit that brought
them, in their sen of the brotherly kind
ness with which they were received, and in
the assurances they gave of the minds of
those who came not with them, are pledges
that what remains of separation will speedi
ly cease.
For these so great mercies, as well as for
all that God did for us, in that way of trial
and painfulness, by which we have come to
them, we are bound to acknowledge, most
thaukfully our unspeakable indebtedness to
the mighty hand and most gracious good
ness of God.
Congressional Proceedings.
Among the important bills and resolutions
introduced into the two houses ot Congress
on the 11th, those concerning Mexico, and
further amendments to the Constitution of
the United States, will attract the special
attention of the country. As regards Mexi
co, coacurrent resolutions were moved in
the Senate by Mr. Wade and in the House
by Mr. Schenck, strongly reasserting the
Monroe doctrine, and requesting the Presi
dent to take such steps concerning thisuiat
ter as will indicate the recognized olicyand
protect the honor and interest of our Gov
ernment. Both houses also requested the
President to communicate to them all in
formation in poses.sion of the Government
concerning the present condition of affairs
in Mexico. Of the proposed amendments to
the Constitution, several aim at the estab
lishment of equal civil rights for all men,
without distinction of color. Another,
which expresses the outspoken sentiments
of nearly all the Uniii Conventions held in
1865,demands that the representation in the
lower House be based upon the Qualified
number of voters in each State. Others
forbid the assumption or payment of the
Rebel debt, and the repudiation of any part
oj the .National debt. Interesting aud ex
citing debates may be expected on both sub
jects. On inotioti of Mr. Wentworth, a bill
was passed to prevent the spreading of the
Rlnderjiext in the United States. A reso
lution offered by Mr. Niblack granting to
Representatives from States latelv in rebel
lion the privileges of the floor of the House
pending the question as to their admission,
was lost, the House refusing to suspend the
rules tor its reception by 1 eas, 40 ; 2s ays, 111
In the Senate, Mr. Cowan, ot'Pennsvl
vania, presented a petition asking for a high
tariff on imported poods. A bill was in
troduced to grant the riiht of corstructinir
a telesraph line from New lork to th
West Indies. A resolution declaring the
rebellion subdued, and restoring the writ of
habeas corpus throughout the country, wa.
referred to the Judiciary Committee. The
rcsoluMon from the Hause to appoint
committee on the late rebellious States was
taken up, and some discussion ensued upon
a motion to strike out that part which pro
vides that no members from such States
can be admitted until the committee has
reported, m which Messrs. Howard, Antho
ny, Doolittle and Fcssendcn took part. The
amendment was adopted. The resolution
as thus amended was then passed. A reso
lution calling for information as to whether
the rebellion is suppressed, and for the re
ports of Government officers and agents who
have visited the States in revolt, was passed
In the House, a communication was pre
sented from Governorof Virginia, enclosing
an act ot the .Legislature favoring the re
peal of the actor 1862, consenting to the
division of the State, and the formation of
West Virginia. The Military Committee
was instructed to report upon thenroDnetv
of granting bounties to the soldiers who en
listed in 1S61 and 1K62. Mr. 'Raymond
presented the credentails of persons elected
to the House from Tennessee, and moved
that they be referred to the joint committee
on the subject ot the late Confederate State
Considerable debate ensued, but the motion
finally prevailed y eas 125, nays 42. The
claimants were, however, granted the privi
le?e ot the floor. The Committee on Ter
ritories were instructed to give the name of
Lincoln to one of the new Territories. :

STATE IMPEOYEMEHTS.
The following article, treating upon a sub
ject of deep interest to the people of Penn-,
sylvania, will be read with interest in every
part of the State :
To the Peopl 3 of Pennsylvania.
Mr. Editor : It is an admitted fact
that the internal improvements in the State
of Pennsylvania have been the means ot de
veloping many sections of the country,
which, without united effort on behalf of
the people individually and collectively,
would have left regions of untold and almost
incalculable value at present, comparatively
worthless, as I hey were for more than half
a century. The system ot public roads
township, State and turnpikes made the
first opening to her wealth, and the writer
well recollects when the Conestoga wagon
was the precursor of the canal boat, as that
was of the locomotive. Pennsylvania has
long been entitled the "Keystone State,"
and well does she deserve the appellation,
for no other State in the Union possesses a
larger amount of the essential elements of
national wealth her agricultural wealth is
great, and her mineral resources beyond
computation.
During the late war, had the Railroaded
Canal system which penetrates her lenlh
aud breadth been stopped by any casualty,
how would the war have been carried on to
a successful issue ? The lack of supplies
of coal would have rendered our navy in a
great measure useless. Her iron supplied
the artillery for both naval and military
service, whilst lumber and various manu
factures of other indispensable articles,
with the facilities of transportation then
existing, tended to shorten the conflict, and
euablcd us to return to the arts of peace in
so short time, that the. nations of the earth
look in wonder and credulity, yet are com
pelled to believe. Never in any other war
waged in this world have such stupendous
and magnificent military movements been
po rapidly and successfully made, and with
out the system of Railroads, canals and
steam navigation,, originally intended for
commercial purposes only, could they have
been affected. If then the present improve
ments have conduced to this happy termi
nation, and reproduced that state of peace,
which for four long years and more had de:
serted us will, or will not an extension of
the system of Railroads to new and unde
veloped regions of our State be of benefit
to the country at large ? This is an impor
tant question, and well worthy of an exami
nation. Let us look at the wants of the
Atlantic cities, and tracing step by step,
the various elements ot wealth winch
Railroad will develop in its passage, through
the route proposed the effect it wiil pro
duce on a large portion of the lands through
which it must pass and the general bene
fit to be conferred on both producer and con
sumer, as soon as the road is completed.
Soou after entering Pensylvania at her
eastern oounaary, we traverse tnroujrn ttie
anthracite coal field, valuable for its inex
haustible mines ot coal and iron, besides
yielding a fair return to the agriculturist.
Reaching the Susquehanna, we find the
teeming and productive valleys which, ex
tending to the foot of the mountain. s, trav
erse the interior ot the State, furnishing
their stores ot gram, cattle, horses, and iarm
products generally many of them contain
mg valuable mines of iron ore, and an abun
dant supply ot timber. Ileachmg the Alio
gneny mountain ranses, we hrst strike the
great bituminous coal basin, which extend;
westward about 80 miles in width, but con
tracting as it is followed in a north cast di
rection, until it is lost before reaching the
i. 1 . btate line. 1 his basin extends north
westerly through ourState,andintoMaryland
Virginia, Ohio. Kentucky, &.c In this re
gion is found the immense suppliesof white
pine, white oak, and hemlock timber, whieh
has tor many years supplied the eastern
markets, by means of the natural water-
courses oniy navigaoie during tne spring
tresbets, and when, as sometimes happens,
no iresmt occurs the whole stock lies over
until the next spriug thus locking up all
the capital and labor expended, tor a twelve
month. Had we railroad facilities, this
would not be for it is an axiom in tn de
that "the wants of the people make the
price of every article of consumption."
Such being the case, the consumer of tim
ber in the east, finding the market bare ot
timber, niasts, spars, etc., would willingly
pay the increased cost of Railroad traus-
. -. : . i i - . i . .,
IMjnaiiuu io nave nis material at tne requir
ed time. At present the stock of timber
increases at certain points to an almost in
creditable amount because cars can not be
l j i.i
naa, ana tne niauutacturer and consumer
each suffer inconvenience from the delav.
which can only be remedied by increased fa
cilities tor transportation. Passing onwards
through tho bituminous coal field its entire
distance, we have a countless amount of
wealth at present almost vajueless, but des
tined of no distant day to beTully developed.
The eastern forests have nearly disappeared
fleets of coasting fssels are engaged in
transporting wood from New Jersey, Dela
ware, Maryland, and Virginia to supply the
eastern cities with fuel, and as coal must
eventually become the substitute for wood,
the more general the means of transporta
tion furnished, the greater the chances of
cheap fuel tor the poor, as well as the rich.
1'assing to the western part of the State,
we traverse the last discovered Eldorado
the petroleum wells yielding that already
indispensable article in fabulous quantities.
It is claimed by a correspondent of the
Pittsburg Commercial, that nearly ' a mill
ion of barrels were received at Pittsburg da
ring the present year besides the large
quantities distributed to . other nlaco
bhould that yield continue, the difference of
cost on that article alone would pay a hand
some interest on the expense of constructing
a first class road as the savin? would b 7
least $1 per barrel. Passing through the
western part of the State we aeain traverse
a fine agricultural district, with sunnliffnf
coal and h on spread over it.
Every member of societv. no mattpr nKai
his condition in life may be. is decnlv inv
ested in the building of more railroads,-- as it
win cneapen tne article ot ruel lor all pur
poses, by increasing the number of niina
and men for working them raise the value
of present unprod ictive lands increase both
btate and national revenues and must evpn-
tually double the present, population of t&
State and tend to give her her true position
as the wealthiest member of the confedera
cy, these tacts are indisputable, and are
well worthy the consideration of the whole
People, and deserve Special thought on
the part of those who are selected to legis
late for the commonwealth and common
weal. They are the custodians of the priv-
Ipps renin red bv corporations, and can dis- I
pense them as may seem best to them-!
selves. In matters of such importance they
should act on the idea expressed by the im
c ., -
mortal W ebster, lo know no east, no west,
nn north, no south." but errant all necessary
privileges requisite to the completion of jer-
inanent improvements oer every available
route in the State, for each new one will of
necessity add to our wealth, population and
influence in the nation draw capitalists to
invest their money and cheer the hearts of
the few pbneers still left, witfj the sight
and sound of the iron horse as he traverses
their native hills and valleys.
We conclude our statements with a sum
mary. The part of Pennsylvania.' as vet
but partially developed by Railroads, is as
rich in iron ore, Dirunnnous coal, timoer,
oil, salt, water power, the elements of
wealth and general WWffrcniences for large
manufacturing establishments as any other
spot on the face of the earth pure water,
healthy climate, productive soil and all
that is wanting is a road of sufficient capa
city to carry the travel which will naturally
concentrate on such an improvement.
There need be no rivalry between a new road
and those already constructed. There will
be work enough for all to do, and unless the
signs of the times are very deceptive, many
new roads will be made within a few jears
Doubt and difficulty are natural to all new
enterprises. The two main roads in our
State were not free from trouble whilst be
ing constructed and time, which solves all
difficulties, has fully s-hown both to be as
ultimately successful as their projectors
could ucire. The people of the great cities
of our State must recollect, that what has
benefitted them has also benefitted m and
that which will benefit us, must benefit
them. We are members of the same family.

Report of the Postmaster General.
The Postal Department has been again
more than self-sustaining duriug the fiscal
year ending June 30, li65, the revenue be
ing $14,556,158 TO, and the expenditures
$13,694,728 28, leaving a surplus of $801,-
430 42. 1 he service has been 8 per cent
more costly and 17 per cent more produc
tive thau the previous year, lue average
defieicucy for the past 24 years has been
$1,288,028 01 per annum, which had to be
met by special appropriation. 1 heestimates
of the year 18ou and 18fV7 contemplate a
deficiency ot 1,207,45, which is more than
provided for in utiexiiendcd appropriation
There has been an addition of 3. 168 miles
ot routes opened during the year principally
in the southern fetates, and 1,0.I ot the
8,002 old offices reopened, at a much less
cost than before, and proposals have been
invited ior reestablishing nearly all the old
routes.
The European mail service has been con
ducted for some years on the basis of paying
to American steamers the whole ot the pos
tages ot letters earned, and to to'-c-igu steam
ers the sea po.-tasre only, the latter amount
ing to an avcrage-of $2,070 per trip last
year. 1 he advantages ol such competition
rather than subisdizing national steamers
are ciearly set forth. Steam service 'with
Brazil has been established, and contracted
for to I tuna.
Free delivery of letters is now confined to
4o principal cities. A new Post-Office
building for New York is recommended
There has been an increase of 25 per cent
(859,202) in the number of dead letters for
the year, ot which 42,154 contained money
amounting to $244,372 97, a large increase
upon last year. Nearly one per cent of all
letters conveyed were sent to the Dead
Letter Office, owing in part, no doubt to
the irregularities caused by the war. The
law-requiring the advertising in the news
paper of largest circulation it is found is
very expensive, and discretion is urged in
its stead.
The Money Order system is so far suc
cessfully in operation that is has issued 74,
277 orders for $1,300.122 82 dnrinsr the
year ; the fees amounting only to two-thirds
ot the expenses, borne suggestions for al
ternation are suggested.
Contractors and others from the rebellious
States have presented claims fi r a million
dollars, which are held for the action of
Congress, ihe two great mill stones on
the neck of the Post-Oifi.ee are the Frank
ing Privilege and the Overland Mail (partly
military,) which together cost a net outlay
of two millions of dollars to be paid by the
Department.
It is a gratifying fact, illustrating the
progress of education and social develop
ment of our country, that the average re
ceipts from the North alone during four
years of war were $3,533,845, over the
whole, and of the past year $0,038,091
greater than the revenues from the whole
Union previous to the Rebellion !

For in every ease they add new Life and vitality,
and restore the waning energies to their pristine
