Pierpont will immediately pro ceed to Richmond, and assume the eX (Tut ve control of the State. it may be added that everything is becoming quite peaceful all through Virginia. The railroads and tele graphs are being repaired without interrup tion from any quarter. A new telegraph line from Weldon to Richmond has been completed, and ono is in cour,o construc tion from I ,Va:thittgton to Ow latter City. TUE EXTRADITION QUESTION.—The idea abroad that Jefferson Davis will make his way to Mexico calls to mind the fact that with Mexico we have no extradition treaty. Even if wo had, there would be some diffi culty in getting it executed, supposing V r. Davis to take refuge there, and it were de termined to seek his delivery and return I the United States. This nrisc: from the feet that wo have no diplomatic relations with Maximilian's government ; and the republi can government of President Juarez ; IN hich we do acknowledge, is not in a condition which would he lihnly In enalth. it ttt effect anything in that I;ohalf. No extradition demand has, however, been 'natio upon Eng land, in connection with the other distin guished par-tie- ,•harged with complicity in the assassination eonspiraey, and Who are in Canada, though with England we have such a treaty. Whether such a demand is deemed tenable by our government, and will be nuele or not, remains to be seen.

Seventy millions of this was taken and add ed to the $2:;0,000,(10./ of seven thirties issu ed under the act July, 186-1, to round it up to three hundred millions. This made the first series of the 7-110 loan. This left 000,000 unissued of three hundred millions of it as 7-30 s wits directed by the Secretary of the Treasury.

Only about $83,000,000 of -it remain this 12 day of May. When it is sold there will be left at the disposal of the Secretary of the Treasury, under the act of March 1, 181;5, 5230,0110,000. It is presumed that t hi-, amount will be issued in the shape of it third series of the 7-30 loan ,payable tlirue years from the 15th of October next. ' HEAVY DEPALUATION.—Mr. Chas. Clarke, the paying teller of the Commercial Bank of Philadelphia, disappeared last Monday, and on investigating his accounts it was discov ered that there was adeficit in them amount ing to somewhere about two hundred thou sand dollars. Clarke was one of the Secre taries of the Philadelphia Loyal League. Volunteer. May be Clarke was a Secretary of the Union League and may be he wasn't. If he was and proved such an extensive thief in spite of the restraining influence of his asso ciations, we just wonder how much be would have been able to steal if he had had the advantage of a Democratic course of train ing. By way of offset, we know of a gen tleman now on his way to Washington on a visit to Mr. Stanton, who is charged with the meanness of stealing all the specie front a dead confederacy who never was Secretary of a. Union League. We do wonder where Mr. Davis acquired his propensity for ind ulg ing in theft and treason. Ile hates Union Leagues quite enough to be a saint if that were essential to saintliness—certainly enough to be an orthodox Democrat and yet his morals are not above suspicion. Sup pose some day you give us the names of a lot of the most eminent traitors, murderers, thieves and general scoundrels in the na tion, who sere not members of the Union League but who pride themselves on be longing to some other organization we know of. You might issue a triple sheet for the next month with nothing else in and then not be neaithrongh the catalogue.

The season is approaching for the coin mencemenr of a political campaign, And the Democracy are already marshaling their forces fur the contest. Last week wo had a gathering of the politicians of this county, who have stood to the party of their fathers through evil as well as good report; WIT , hair never yet deserted their organization; although the march of events have left them without a lugs, of success, or even the sem blance of principles for which to contend.— When men meet for the purpose of organiz ing a party and expect their fells w-eitizens to unite with them politically, a decent Ni g rd for the good sense and intelligence of those whom they expect to be their follow ers, might induce them to announce the ,des ts they seek to obtain through their organization. We think the day has pas•-ed when the mere name of Any party can have power to draw the majority to the sup' port i , f its candidates. People desire a reason for what politicians:v.l: them to do, and will demand that men who solicit their suffrages have soon , better claim to them thorn the mere name of being Democrats. When therefore our friends and, in council wl.l fully expected they would give us some annonnee meat of the principlesand policy which their party hope to carry into effect, should any tint recoen accident infuse life and power into the veins of the now defunct Democracy. But our expectations were disappointed. We were startled with no new war cries from the camp of our opponents, nor were; 1:11.11.1ted With those to which we had be conic familiar in former days. We were net alarmed with the threats of overthrow and defeat which used to create such coaster- Chai man nation amongst us, nor were we even morti fied by confident boasts of success in the coming contest.

There must lie sonic mis take here. It is not possible that these gentle patriots are rejoicing over the recent victor ies. Do they forget that this is a war• for the destruction of our free institutions; the overthrow of out• republican form of Gov ernment; the establishment of a military despotism; the elevation of the negro and dm subjection of the white man to him, and in short for the accomplishment of till con ceivable abolition deviltry ? It isn't six months since every member of that Conven tion would have sworn that this was the most infamous warof all time. Everythingabout it was infamous. It was commenced to sat isfy the bloody passions of New England fanatics; it has been carried on to promote the drowth and advancement of their " in fet•nal° doctrines and to till the pockets of their greedy conet•acters, and it, certainly would end in the dismemberment of our tui tion, and in anarchy or despotism. Then fighting could never bring us peace. 'We could never conquer the South—she was in vincible. We wore only lavishing our blood lid treasure in vain. The contest would certainly end, either in a compromiso with the South, and concessions to their just de mands, or, in the acknowledgment of their independence. Peaceful measures,l observ ance of constitutional obligations, the with drawing of our armies, the repeal of our abolition Stnto Legislation, the cultivation of fraternal feelings, and a general display of all conceivable moderation, justice, love and mercy were the only means that could be relied on to bring us peace. ' All this has been dinned into our ears daily end nightly for the last four years by' the Democracy, but just 'now. they find it convenient to resolve that."our recent victories will bring us nearer .to.. ponce, reconciliationi and a restored Union."

DEMOCRACY REVISED war that has been - so much deprecated by these mild-mannered patriots. Not only that but they have resulted during the time it was run, the interest of fanaticism. When the Emancipation Proclamation was in full force and effect, when the abolitionists had forced through Congress the Constitutional Amendment; when negroos were fighting slde by side . with white men; when the De mocracy had been everywhere driven from place, and when that old " imbecile, tyritnt and traitor," was still alive and managing things in his worst possible style. these vie torte, which are to bring us hearer peace and Union, were achieved. The Ilion who drew that resolution surely weren't posted. The burning of Shenandoah valley ; .the lay ing waste of Georgia and South - Carolina by Sherman ; the destruction of all public property; the arming of the slaves; the capture of all Southern cities, and the burn ing of those that could not be held, these things and nothing else gave us the surrender of Lee and .Johnston, and yet all these nets were denounced in the most furious manner, its hiding to fire the southern heart and prolong the war, by the very men who now rejoice over r-meal cirtories. e wonder how uttudteredulity politicians imagine plain people have. f the Democracy haVt , anything to urge against the present administration, or can show any cause why the party in power should be displaced and their's elevated, we will hear them patiently. Il is the country's interest that our public affairs should be ad ministered ably and wiselri and the party that will doihis deserves elevation to poNver. But we here protest against using the tri umphs of an administration, and the glories of a successful war, to make party capital for men who denounced, ridiculed and cursed all who supported or ad vhcated either.

MASON • Mr. Mason, " Confederate Commissioner" in London and elsewhere, finding himself placed by Mr. Lincoln's assassination in what May be Termed a tight place, relieves his mind (ifter the manner of most Men) by writing to the newspapers. He only afibrds another proof of the difficulty of, doing that same thing with judgment and dirrotion.— In his letter to The London hulex, the Com missioner, who in his present unaccredited condition may inure wisely act the part of Omissioner, denies that " the murder was planned and.set on foot by the Rebels, tinder pretense of avenging the South and aiding the Rebel cause." If Mason had stopped here, he would have done well ; but he im mediately adds that the diabolical deed "was the necessary offspring of those scenes of bloodshed and murder and unbridled license which have signalized the invasion of the South." The reader will it once perceive that this unfortunate person is hard up for logic, in fact quite out or the article. The rebels timid nothing to do with the killing—they were perfectly innocent in every respect of the Crime,'—hut "it was the necessary on:spring" of the invasion of the South." Now, either somebody who cured nothing for the "Con federacy" did the deed, without provocation or object, but merely as an amateur, or it wits done by thus'• who regard the pppres sion of the Rebellion as an ac•t of 'the most intolerable tyranny.

But the act of J une 30, 1861, now in force, under which the returns for the special in come tax of 1803 were 'mule, require: farm ers to retell] year the amount of pro duce sold. It will be found that farmers' income ro tor. s for 186-1 will ilichille aurae I.lli , li of the crop of 186:1, and which was taxed as in come fur that year. There is an apporent injustice in subjecting the same income to tax in two different years, the year when raised and the year when sold but a consid eration of the (location will show that it is only an apparent one. Fur, suppose the income of a farmer to be the same every year, and the rata of tax should be also the same. Now, the fanner does not sell the whole crop of each year Avith in that year : and if he is taxed in 1861 on such produce only as he raised and sold with in that year, it,h3 clear that he will not pay the full tax due on his real income. I ! Suppose the yearly crop to be the s ine 110 harmer will, in the last year of the tax, r ise a certain amount of produce on which ho will pay no tax, becau,e unsold and Itch produce will, on an averag e be a fair othet against the produce raised in 1863, but fold in 1864, and which consequently pays ;wo taxes. It is true that in particular cases hardslilis will arise from the fact that the practice of ?mutters is not uniform in regard to se4ug or storing produce, and in other cases faint ers will escape their just share of tay. forth() same reason. But the same occasional inequality willoe cur under any general provision of law, 'ad cannot be avoided. The entire amount, therefore, of pro(lice sold in 1864, must be returned as ineonn;by farmers, without regard to taxes previMsly paid on any such produce. Very respectfully, 1.4:. A.

DEPT., OFFICE OF CONTIWI.LER OF THE CURILEI.%;cr, Wash., May f SIR: You are requested to make a state ment, as indicated in the inclosed form, ex hibiting First: The amount of your circulation as a state Bank outstanding, at the date of the conversion of your bank to the national sys tem ; Sceoml: The amount of such circulating notes outstanding May 15, 1865. You are also requested to specify, as a separate item, in yotir regular monthly report, the amount of State Bank circulation outstanding at the date of such statement. This information is necessary in order to determine the amount of national currency that may be issued to your bank without exceeding the ratio pre scribed by the. amendment to section 21 of the Currency Act, passed March :3, 1865. In future it will be requisite, in order „to avoid confusion or misunderstanding, to send with each order for national currency, a statement of the amount of notes of your old bank out standing at the date of the order. F. CLARKE, Controller of Currency. This circular is intended to apply to banks converted from the State to the National system, wind also to National banks organized to take the place of State banks. In SOMIT States, the banks have received and issued much more National currency than they were entitled too. This is especially the case in Pennsylvania, where many of the banks, still keep their old State issues outst4ndibg,-, while they also call „for and circulate National currency to tlie fall amount of their, bonds.._ It is possible that some of the's° institutions may be closed, unless they)mmediately coin ply with the conditions of the Currency Sot.

THE MUSTERINCI OUT OF TROOPS TO BE CHANGED FROM CAMP CURTIN TO SOME' POINT IN CUMBERLAND OR 17011.1 i COUNTY. It is understood in official 'military circles, that a proposition has been under consider ation to change, the mustering out of troops from Camp Curtin to a camp to be located somewhere in Cumberland or York counties. We repeat the reasons assigned us a justifi cation fur such a change,: First. It, is argued that if the catnip of muster out be - Mental on the other side of the river, it will be a means of compelling offi cers to, remain with their men, and devote them Selves industtiously to the perfection of their rolls for muster out and pay. A strong guard would be posted at each bridge, and no soldier allowed to come to this side with out a pass. In this manner it is alleged that the men would be speedily mustered out, paid and enabled to reach their homes with out delay. Second. The condition of the ground itt Camp Curtin, is such, after being so long oc cupied, that the location of large bodies of men thereon, might tend to the engendering of disease L-the spread, perhaps, of an epi demic which would prove fatal to the citi zens of Harrisburg. A camp located on fresh ground would escape such dangers, and hence the . objection to Cturip Curtin. Third. The purpose to protect the men from' the whisky and lagerbeer influence. The peace and safety of Harrisburg depends on this reason, and by all sensible men, the 'point is not considered debatable. —We give those reasons' Ifs being design- CallY .. theSe having this bindhess in charge. We, are. not, certain that any, definite...action has been.had on the subject, but wo are re liably informed that the rernoyal of the camp to the other side of tho river. is regarded as probable by military men incommand at the post.—Harrisburg Telegraph. •• „ HIGHLY IMPORTANT °Mix° Cap-u,r® r} EFF.
