I>a\ id Logan. Esq., of Jefferson township,
died on the Ist inst., at the advanced age
of 34 years.
Ifer Our borough has furnished Iter
full fftiota of volunteers under the call for
f.00,000 men. Well done for Rutler.
Qcr) The borough of Butler filled up its
quota, on Saturday, for the full 500,000
will. Its quota for the 300,000 was tilled
some time ago. Were the entire country
to come up to the work like Butler, short
work would be made of the rebellion. —

The Tirst National Bank of But- I
lor, organized on the 2nd inst., by the
election of the following officers :
-.Tames Campbell. President.
I J. Cummings, Cashier.

To Assistant %j»«<>ss«rs.
'•ln order to secure a?i early comple
tion of the annual list for 1804, Assessors j
w ill instruct their assistants at once to be
gin the collection of income returns in j
their respective divisions. Although tax- |
payers are authorized to dfclay niaking fo- j
turn until the first Monday in May, those j
who have not made return by thei. day j
will l»i; liable to assessment iwdor the pro
visions of Section 11.
"Assistant Assessors ill transmit all
returns to the Assessor after entering the
amounts in their assessment books.
As soon after the first Monday in May
*>s practicable, each Assistant Assessor \
will make out his alphabetical list and i!e- '
liver the same to the Assessor.
Im?"Tii looking river the A uditors Re- j
port, we notice that the only collector for j
the year 3863 that had paid up in full |
previous to the settlement, was Robert j
Barron of Worth Township. This is cer
tainly very creditable to Mr Hr.rron and ;
speaks well for the Tax payers of that j
township It would certainly save a great
deal oi ".tibor to Collectors, Treasurer, Au- j
ditors and all concerned if taxes were thus
punctually paid up every year; and if it I
'can be done in one district, why uot in all? j
•It \vill also be seen, from the Re- i
port that John P. Roll of Cranberry Tp„
paid up in full before the -close of the set- i
•» lenient.
By letter from llev. A. M. Stew
art. Chaplain of the 102 d Regt., P. V.,to
'Col. John N. Purviance, we learn that he
•will address our citizens on the 18th inst., |
nt 11 o'clock, A. M., at the Court House. I
on behalf of the great moral interests'con- 1
nocted with our Armies. W'c cordially j
iirvit:> all to attend. 11.'v. M. Stewart has j
been in the seiS iefe Bs Chaplain, since j
April, 1861, and is now the Senior Chap- !
lain in the army of the Potomac ; is an
.-able and interesting Speaker—faithful in
our cause and true to every duty. A col- '
lection will Ik) taken up on the occasion j
i'or the beiieCt'bf our soldi'jrs.
Butler. Ftfc. fitfc, 1864.
Bwr Robert W. I.yon, Ist Lieut. Co.
H. 102 d (the old 13th.) Regt.. has been
ertnnuissioued by the proper military an- i
thorities, to recruit ft.r the said Regt.. j
and has therefore established his office in
liutler; and is recruiting with great sue
•cess; his office is thronged with persons
who are entering the service. Lieut.
Lyon is euergetic and geutleuianly, and is
meeting with that success of which he is
deserving. Those who wish to ehtcr the
service could not desire a hotter opportu
nity than is now offered them. "Now is :
■the tiuie to get into aliomc conijiani/ ami
regiment, with a good prospect of seeing
the rebellion put down inside of one year."
Koto is the time to procure the Local and
National bounty. De not wait to be draft
ed.''
Capt. Henry Pillow of Prospect, is also
•acting as recruiting officer for the army.
Butler county is thus highly favored in
Slaving these two well known, and euer- !
Igetic men and officers to for i
the purpose of tilling up our qtiota, and ;
adding strength to our army. We need
not reeomiuchd these two gentlemen to
the citizens of our county. Their acts are ;
sufficient. We would br.t ask n hearty |
co-operation on the part of the citizens of
onr county for the purpose of tilling up
•our quota under the recent call fdr 500,-
'OOO men, and thus avoid the draft, 'lhis
can be done if we act energetically. And
we think, that we express the sentiment
•D£our eittftens on this subject.

THE TRIBFSE FOR IMii.
!. Pfl OS PECTUS.
I Th« Nitw VuRK Taißl NK, first issued April 10, 1811,
tins to-day a larger aggregate circulation than ttiy other
i uewspaper published in America, or (we belte^e)in the
j world. Compelled a year since to increase the price of
' its eereral issues. or submit to the pecuniar? rurt. of its
] proprietors from the very magnitude of its circulation, It
has probablv since parted with some patrons to whOtn
its* remarkable cheapness wa« a controlling recommenda
tion; but other* have taken their place, and it has now
| tha® Two Hundred Thousand subscriber* and legu
i lar purchasers—an excess of at least Fifty Thousand over
those of any rival. And tbis'unprecedented currency it
ha* achieved by very liberal expouditures in procuring
early and authentic intelligence, by the feat lent expres
sion uf convictions, by the free employment of ability and
in listi v wherever it might contribute to excellence In
any department of our enterprise., and by unshrinking
fidelity to the dictates of Justice, Humanity, and Free
dom.
By very large outlays fur early and Authentic tuhk-e*
by telegraph ahd etherwiee from its own correspondents
with the various armies of the Union, and by special ef
forts to furnish such information respecting Markets,
Crop*, new discovrries or improvements in Agriculture,
AC„ as must specially interest ftumers.Wehave aasldiously
labored to make a journal calculated lo meet the wants
and subserve the interests of the Producing Classes.—
That end wo have at least measurably attained: Tor iw
other newspaper exists in America or Europe which is
■ habitually read by nearly so many farmers ar.d their fam
ilies as is Tim Tribcxk io-day. We shall labor to increase
both the number and the satisfaction dfftfla by far the
most uniin huh . lass of its patrons.
During thcexlstencb of the Whig party, this paper
supported that party, though always sympathizing with
: the room liberal, progressive, Anti-Slavery "wing" thero
j of. When new isstffes dissolved or tmnsf »nned old organi
zations through the spontaneous uprising of the peoplo
of the Free State* against the repudiation of the Mi.-souri
Restriction, The Tribune heartily participate -d in that
| movement, and was known as Republican. When the
long smoldering conspiracy to divide and destroy our
country or reduce it entire to complete abasement to the
j Slave Power culminated In overt treason and rebellion,
it naturally, necessarily regarded resistance to this con
spiracy a* paramount to all other considerations, mid de
voted all its energies and! efforts to the mairitennnfoof our
Union. Iti every great bontroversy which lots divided
our Country. it has been found on "that side wliltfh natu
rally coifimands the sympathy and support of the large
majority of whool-houses and the decided minority oT
grog-sho| s. and so doubtless will be to to the last.
Ardently desiring and striving for the carl* 1 and endu
ring adjustment of our National distractions, The Tribune
leaves thetilnc, the nature and the conditions ol that ad
justment implkMfly To those lawfully in authority, con
fiding in their wisdom ftfcd patriotism, anxious to aid
them to the utmost in their :irduous responsibilities and
j not to eml»orras* them eVen by possibility. Fimijr be
lieving in the Apostolic rule —''First pure peacea
ble"—holding that the total and final extirpation of Sla
i very Is the true and only absolute cure for our National
Ills — that any expedient that stops short of this can
have but a transient and illusory success — we yet pro
pound no theory of "reconstruction" and Indorse none
, that has been propoundad by another — neither Sum
ner's, nor Whiting's, nor any of the various Copperhead
devices for achieving '•Peace" by surrounding the Ho
publlc Into the poyver of its traitorous foes— but, exbor
ting, the American People to have Taith in their Oovern-
I merit, to re-enforce their armies and replenish their treas
ury, We believe that, if they but do their duty, a benign
Providence will indue timeluing this fearful struggle to
such a close as will best subsetVe the two greaHiess of
our country and the permanent well-being of mankind,
i We respeetfuly solicit the subscriptions and ttrtlve
exertions of our friends, and of nil whose views ami con-
