Liquor TOenlere. The Legislature has under consideration a bill for taxing wholesale and retail liquor dealers. It provides that all persons who pay a wholsale liquor dealers'license under the provisions ofthe internal revenue law, shall be deemed to be wholsale deal ers, and they must pay to the State a yearly tax of forty dollars; retail dealers arc to pay twenty dollars. If the tax is not paid on the 1st of December iu each year, a sum equal to four times Its amount will be collected.

Some of the hackmcn in this city are inclined: to Impose upon passengers whenever occasion offers. One of them was hauled up Saturday for charging a party of four gentlemen four dollars for taking them from the steamboat to a house on Buckingham street, when, by law, he was entitled to receive but one dollar aud twenty-five cents. The rates established by the common council, are: For one person anywhere within city limits, fifty cents; two persons to same place, seventy-five cents, and each additional person twenty-five cents; children under four years of age, free; between four and twelve years, half price.

An ordinance requires that every public carriage shall have posted up inside a printed card (furnished by the city clerk) giving the owner's name, time of license, and rates of fare. Probably not a single hack owner in the city has obeyed this regulation but the chief-of-police has given notice that any one not having the card posted on Monday, July 27th will be prosecuted to the full extent of the The public will thank him for "that kind word." An Oil Strike. The secretary of the "Star Oil Company of Hartford," received a dispatch Saturday afternoon from Canada, that the company, had struck oil, and have a fine flowing well of thirty barrels per day. Tlie stock of the company is mostly held by Hartford men, and the news of their good luck was, of course, particularly gratifying to them. The property of the "Star" company embraces about seven acres, and is situated in the very heart of the oil region in Canada.

The il is of the very best kind for lubricating pur-j poses, selling readily on the ground at $4.50 per I barrel in gold.

IIAKTFUKDi MONDAY MORXLNO, JULY 17, 1863. Vtah. A correspondent of the Chicago Tribune describes the conversations between ex-Speaker Colfax and Erlgham Young, at Great Salt Lake City, in June. Quite a. number were present at the Interview.

Daring the sojourn of Mr. Colfax's party, the principal theme of discussion at the conference and elsewhere, was polygamy. The visitors invariably expressed their condemnation of the system, as immoral, ruinous and hateful to the wholo civilized world. They also expressed the conviction that the nation would never receive IT tali as a State till the evil was blotted out and that the laws of Congress on this, as well as other subjects, would be rigidly enforced. Brlgham Young, in turn, piled up all the arguments at his command in justification of polygamy.

Mr. Colfax's party were more deeply impressed than ever before with the demoralizing, ruinous Influences of polygamy. As those who practice It were educated by one father and one mother, the full effects of the system cannot be seen till the present generation of adults has passed away. Says the correspondent: While the men who have two or more wives pretend to be thoroughly convinced that tbev are doing right, we are assured that there i not an intelligent Moriuan woman III the territory who, when her real sentiments can be kDowh, approve of polygamy. Whateveropiiiions we may form of the men, all who know anything of the misery they suffer, must pity the Mormon women.

To us they apiear dejected and many of them heart-broken, and a time rolls on, the essential evils of the sctem mud become the more apparent ami revolting. To grade woman from heing the companion ami the crown of her husband, to'a hie of nitre serfdom, ministering to the lusts of men, and merely giving birth to other human animals, the inevitable tendency and sure result ol polygamy -an unclean, abominable thing, which must not and cannot be it-rmaiiently tolerated in Unit civilized, Christian republic. The sooner this determination in nn-denitool by those who practice it, the belter, lor. like ail lettering wires, the longer it is endured, the more ili'licult of removal and the more dangerous it Ueeomes." Erlgham Young is a man sixty-four years of age, of great adminis.rative abilities, aud by the force of genius and will keeps the Mormon community together. He is thought to be the only person capable of keejiing it afloat.

At his death, even if no extraneous pressure is brought to btar, it is believed the Mormon power will (lis integrate. MlarTttfiott of Frienrni, A member of the Kith Connecticut, a truthful young man, who shared in the horrors of the rebel prison pens at Andersonville and Florence far ten months, writes with a good deal of feeling against the Timts for its persistent denials of the fact that the rebels starved their prisoners to death, the evidence of which is so overwhelming that it cannot be denied without uttering tlie most wilfid falsehood. He says: In ordeT to let your readers know of the abundance of food we received, a represented bv the limes, 1 give you a few record from uiy dUry: September 11, 1S01, three ounce of fresh beet iwrmm. 13th. drew two days' ra ttous, which consisted of about one and a half pound of coarse corn bread ami ounces of bacon l.lih, nothing: llth, nothing; loth, a piece of corn bread one and a hull Inches square, and a pieco ot nac-n one men suuare filll on plut ol meal, Just at night urn, a sruaii pie I ba con, a little rice and salt his It the wav we were lei! and after this our rations were no reduced that we were obliged fcxleal out 'he provision with a spoon.

Helving ('pan Ihc Itun ginnlioii for the Incls.

We do not remember to have seen a more absurd newspaper report than that in the New York Tribune of Friday, on the burning of Bar-num's Museum. It was well headed "Our He-porter's vision of Life and Death." Descriptions were given in detail of the tragic death of the polar bear, of the lashing fury of the lions; and a terrible conflict between one of the Hons and a tiger was mentioned. There were no animals In the Museum at the time of the lire with the exception of "the was purely Imaginary a big swindle upon the public The reporter who penned it should be at once engaged upon the Hartford Times to picture In glowing colors the joys and delights which made the prison pens at Andersonville a paradise on earth for our Union prisoners. Thill Tax Again. The Tt'nifs mis tains Judge- Mtinson's amendment to the tax bill, requiring holders of United States bonds to pay on their lneomfls from same, fifteen dollars on every one hundred dollars.

'Wo supposed it would, and for these reasons: 1st. Copperheads do not hold government securities, and hence they will have nothing to pay. 2d. Such a tax is calculated to prevent investments In government securities, and that will suit the copperhead party. 3d.

The whole thing is a political trick, and trickery is the stock in trade of those who deal In the kind of politics retailed in the Times office. Will that paper please inform us (as it holds this tax to be Just), If the Legislature has the power to make the holders of government bonds pay fifteen per cent, of their incomes, has it not the power to make them pay seventy-five or even one hundred per cent? Is there such a tiling as "onerous taxation," which the Tidies clique have harped upon with all the avidity that Hamlet ver did on Folonlous' daughter, for the past four years? Financial. Gold ruled lower on Saturday and very little business was done in that line. The opening price was 1 ths highest 111, and the lowest 142. At the close, 1-1 was bid.

Saturday's steamers took out in specie. Total for the week The exports of Five-Twenties on Saturday, are estimated at two and a quarter millions.

Only about fifty millions of the Seven-Thirties remain, and they will probably all be taken this month.

It Is thought that the next loan will be a aix per maturing in ten to forty, to be exchanged for all the compound interest notes, five per ceut: notes, certificates of indebtedness, and temporary deposit certificates, the aggregate of which Is reported at four hundred millions. The KnoxviUe Whig ot July 6th, copies from the Cocbaxt, the communication of Trof. procklesby relative to the arrest of Mr. Kain, and replies to it as follows: "There are ether letters In TTnoxrlHc from Mr, Kain's relatives in the East, which cive the same version.

He was also indicted by the same jury for treason agaivst the Mate, and he ts here to stand his trial for these offenses.

President Johnson was a neighbor of these murdered men they were of his county of Greene and they were "formerly engaged in political life" with the President. Kain never was, for he was a whig. No man went into this rebellion who was more anxious to capture and hang Johnson than was this man Kain. Kaiu was an exceedingly bad man, and was the cause of Union men being tied up and whipped in this town. He was the cause of having Tarwater, of this county, shot, although Tarwater was a Federal soldier.

Kain was the provost marshal who drove Snapp's family out of Blountville, and robbed them of all they had. He showed no quarters to Union families whose husbands had gone into the Federal army, or even the Federal lines for protection.

For more than four years many of its members have toiled summer and winter, early and late, to provide clothing, medi-ical supplies, delicacies, and a thousand little comforts for sick ami wounded soldiers, whose sufferings appealed so eloquently and pathetically the hearts of our countrywomen. It has sent the hospital and to the field many boxes freighted with joy aud life. Hundreds have blessed the hands that far away were silently working for them.

It will be a source of lasting happiness to the noble women who have given much time to this far-reaching charity, to remember hereafter the beneficent part taken by them in the war for the Union. Already the Legislature of Connecticut has in suitable terms thanked the patriotic women of the State for their sendees, in ministering to the welfare of its defenders; the soldiers, with hearts overflowing wilh gratitude, have thanked them; and future generations will thank them, recording their acts personal sacrifice and generous devotion to stimulate those who come after to the practise of similar virtues. IIEPORT. The Hartford Soldiers' Aid Association will close Its rooms on and after Saturday, July 15th, Owing to the delay in obtaining reports from auxiliary societies, the final meeting will be deferred for the present, and due notice may be expected of tlie time and place at which it will be held. In closing their labors the managers desire to return their hearty thanks for the encourage ment, assistance, aud support which they have received from a generous public in the prosecution of their work.

To the kind friends who have so faithfully sustained them in their endeavors to minister to sick and wounded soldiers, they bid a grateful aud affectionate farewell. And while rejoicing that their services are no longer required by a bleeding country, they yet resign with reluctance their pleasant and bar monious organization, aud the high privilege of testifying their devotion to the brave defenders of the Union.

In the Senate on Wednesday and Thursday, Mr. Harrison made the following remarks, which are worthy the attention of the State: Air. Ilartison stated that the General Hospital Society was chartered in 1H2C; was then granted an endowment of 5,000 from the State treasury that it atterward-i received In bhape of bank Inmuses from individuals $5, and from the Slate Aledical Society, making its entire funds in lc54, more than two-thirds of whielifwas granted byjtbe Stale; that iu lsii.5 an annual appropriation of 82.0(10 from tho stale treasury waa voted, making $2,200 more which it has received in II vonrn f.inve toat in isoii was appropriated if the benetit of sick and wounded soldiers; alo $1,01:0 for hospital buildings forsiek and wounded soldiers; that tTiiarv, 1M.5, live pavilions wt- erected on the bos-piml a io wit .25, whicu llV Crov. Buckingham, and which this general assembly na. refunded him making the entire State appropriations to this society $G4.

He also suited that in the same month of February, 1SC5, the society leased Its entile property, pavilions and nil, (and vacated the same) to the United States for tivo years, lor the snug rental of ijooo, thus securing an annual income He alsostated that the seiety since though thou ordered to report annually to the general assembly, had only reported three times! that the remonstrants, who were hoimeopaths and eclectics aud laymen of all schools of medicine, claimed that the i-ocicty was mainly endowed and by the State, and ihat as such all should be entitled to participate in ioi benetits; that as matter of fact no poor patient who did not believe iu allopathy could be introduced or receive any treat men but allopathic il introduced, and they asked the legislature to place all medical societies incorporated by this State uiioii (111 equality in this hospital, which he claimed was simple justice, and which the State bads.Min or later to perform. Taxation and representation must go hand in hand. ITo did not understand the committee to deny the claim of the remonstrants on the score of justice and reason, but solely for fear the different schools wouldn't work harmoniously together. Mr. Harrison strongly urged the trial.

He accordingly moved an amendment to the report ol the committee requiring heieatter the election of two of the annual directors from tlie state Hotnceoriatbio Aledi cal Society, and two from the Slate Kclectie Aledical Reform Association. He urged that this small representation, being only four out ot twelve directors, was due to the large and increasing body of dissenters from allopathy in this slate who aro taxed for the benefit of this societ that this proposition did not proiiose to interfere with the attending physicians at the hospital, and was not an attempt to "mix oil and water," aud that it did not appear that oil and water would not mix if the allopath!) were willing they should titty only prevented mixture. He thought that his amendment, if it accomplished no other good, would compel this great corporation (now seeking the right to raise its limit of holding real estate from to eight-tenths of whose present property was the direct gift of the State, or the national appreciation of state gilts, and now having an annual income of tfOOO,) grown rich and fat upon State subsidies, to show its hand aud would ensure the annual reports to which the general assembly was entil led. lie was certain the state would have and ought to treat all these schools of medicine with impartiality and with equal liberality; that the no more tolerate a State establishment in medicine they would a standing order of religion one was as unreasonable as the other, aud both distasteful. Mr.

Harrison's amendment was lost, 7 yeas to 11 nays. It is estimated that there still remain in Texas from one hundred thousand to one hundred and fifty thousand bales of the old crop of cotton, while, owing to various unfavorable circumstances, it is thought this year's crop will not exceed fifty thousand bales. It is also calculated that there are within the State, accumulated during the war, 5,000,000 pounds of wool. The Times has been obliged to back square down in its assertion that rebel prisoners in our hands suffered, from neglect. Now let it also take back its statement that the rebels did not starve our men.

A new Music Hall is to be opened to the public next Saturday, at-Springfleld. The government has sent five officers to Andersonville to gather evidence of the brutal treatment of our prisoners, witli a view to bringing to trial the authors of such treatment. Tioneer specimens of the Delaware peach crop, comprising HO baskets, have been received in Philadelphia, and indicate that fruit of an excellent quality may be expected from that source. Wallace Butler, a member of the Second Presbyterian church at St. Louis, has been expelled because he refused to acknowledge that he had sinned in joining the rebel army.

A delgation arrived at Washington from Florida, Saturday, to oppose the appointment of Judge Marvin, but found they were too late. Mr. Crar.e, artist for Harpers Weekly, was found dead in his bed at the Xational Hotel, Washington, Saturday morning, having retired in his usual health the previous night. A lady correspondent of the Home Journal, writing from Newport, says, "we shall be on the lookout for your pet idea, (which is gaining ground) of ladies riding astride." The Blddeford (Me.)

Scarcely more than four years ago our fathers and sons commeuced to fill a long and bloody avenue leading either to the crowning glory of the Republic or to its disentegration and overthrow.

Hope and faith stimulated the loyal-hearted, and in every trial even in the- darkest hours of dis-astcrtheir confidence in "the boys iu blue" was unwavering and unfaltering, and their belief iu the safety of the Uliion unshaken. But while tbev cheered on the defenders of the Right, no small or uninfluential portion of our citizens gave up the victory often, and with so much more apparent glee when mounds of Union dead were piled high at Chancellorsville and on other gory fields, that patriotic men and women were grieved to think that neighbors and old-time friends could be enemies. But the war has ceased; peace with its blessings comes from behind the cloud whose silver lining it has been through four years of stormy shot and shell, and we almost forget the awful realities of the past in the rich joys of the present. The heroes of many well-fought battles bronzed-faced hardy men who were in at the death of the monster rebellion now join as once more, but with thinned ranks, for precious sacrifices have been made, and though they cast aside the honored blue, the mantle of honor will never fall from them. And iu this hour, when the dearest wishes of the past have changed togratulations, is no room for crimination or recrimination, between those who stood in the background and watched the struggle from different stand poiuts.

The history of the war is written the record of individuals is made up, and by that record the "boys in blue" will judge us all signalling friends and knotting enemies with unfailing accuracy, in every act of theirs which shall concern the welfare of the government they have defended and saved for all time. In looking at the past in going back in memory to the days in camp, and on the march, when the heart was made sick by hope deferred, they will carry in their souls convictions which will toll them "T.ovally iH Btill the patnc, Whether it win or liso the gume Tree as the thai to the nun, Although it be not sliiuud upon." The Hilvcr Star. The little steamer by this name which is plying on the river, leaves hero at 5 o'clock p. stops on three days In the week at South Glastenbury, and on every day at Iligganum, Itock Landing, and Eastnaddam, on downward trips, overtaking the New York boats at Goodspeed's Landing; and returning, leaves the latter place at 5 o'clock a. stopping at all landings between there and this city.

It is an accommodation for people in this city, and at the three points named above where the big boats do not land, to take this little craft and be able to overtake the City of Hartford or Granite State, if they wish to get to New York; but the truth is, if persons in Hartford desire to go by river to New York, as a general thing, they will be ready to go upon the New York boats direct, so that they may secure state rooms, etc. In some cases, however, the Granite or City maybe "missed," and the passenger one hour later Is very glad of the ac commodations of the Silver Star. These cases, so far as we can loam, are rare, so that the people of Iligganum, Rock Landing, and East Had-dam, alone have reason to rejoice over tlie benefits derived by running the little boat. AVe are not about to say aught against the accommodations furnished, hut to suggest an improvement in the time of running the boat, which will not only benefit the public in all the river towns, but will put money into the pockets ofthe boat-owners. The present arrangement prevents persons living in Rocky Hill, Cromwell, Portland, Middletown, and Middle Haddam.from 1, on sitap.

Everyday a number of people residing in these towns, from a misunderstanding, go to the foot of State street to take this boat, and are told the boat won't stop for them. This shows that there are paxxengera who want conveyance by river. Now, let the Silver Star leave Goodspeed's Landing at the same hour as at present, and returning, start from Hartford at 3 p. one hour before the New York boats, and stop ot all the landings. The result will be, live passengers, at least, will be secured where one is now, and persons who live at landings where the New York boats do not stop, wishing to go to New York, will take the little boat aud go to landings where they do stop, and wait their arrival.

There is a further consideration if this plan is adopted, a large amount of trade will be secured to this city, so large that we had almost said it would pay our principal merchants to secure a boat of their own, unless some change is made. As this is a matter in which the people in every river town between this city and Goodspeed's Landing are interested, we have been particular iu details. HI. I'cter'a Catholic Church Laying the Corner Mlone. i The corner stone of St.

Peter's Church, now in process of erection on Main street, near the South Green, was laftl yesterday afternoon with appropriate ceremonies. A platform had been erected to accommodate those who were to participate in the exercises, and shortly after 4 o'clock it was occupied by Right Rev. Bishop McFarland, of this diocese, embracing Connecticut and Rhode Island, and the clergy who assisted him, as follows: Rev. Fathers Lynch of this city, O'Brian of New Haven, Lenihan of Bridgeport, Lynch and O'Neil of Middletown, Kelley of Providence (formerly of Hartford), O'Reilley of Rockville, Fagan of Col-linsville, Welch and Smith of Meriden, Tully of of New Britain and O'Far-rall, assistant of Father Hughes of St. Patrick's Cathedral, in this city.

There were several thousand people present, the street being blocked up for a considerable distance. Bishop McFarland conducted the exercises in the order, and according to the ritual of the Holy Catholic Church, reading the Litany to the Saints, the clergy responding. It was an impressive ceremony, the priests appearing in full habit, and uniting in the worship with much fervor. A large number of young girls, arrayed in white dresses and veils, and wearing wreaths, were in procession as the ceremonies progressed. These were confirmed in the Catholic faith in the morning, two hundred and fifty having taken the obligations ofthe Church.

There were also present the St. Peter's, St. Patrick's and St. John's Societies, large and influential organizations, in their several regalias. After the sacred obligations had been imposed, and the dedicatory worship concluded, the stone was hoisted and put in position.

Within it were pieced, in a sealed metallic box, the following: Silver coins; copper coins. Hurtford daily papers the CorBAKT, Times, Press and Post. Catholic papers the Kew York Tablet and the Boston Pilot. A parchment on which were written the name of the church and iu pastor, and the names of the l-oie reigning, the President of the United State, Governor ot Connecticut, Architect and Builders. It was intended to have in the box the Constitutions of the three societies named above, but they were not handed in until the box had been sealed.

This proceeding gone through with, the people present, Protestants as well as Catholics, wrere invited to contribute for the benefit of the church, and they did so with marked liberality. Several subscriptions of one hundred dollars each were made. The money had not been counted early last evening, but it was estimated that from two thousand to twenty-five hundred dollars were donated.

Ian "Mlock Iividrnd' Taxable? During the last four years, while the country has been carrying on a gigantic war, it has also inaugurated a system of internal taxation of vast proportions and importance in the machinery of our government. A tax system so comprehensive and minute forms a new and untried element in the affairs of this government; imposing burdens npon the people which during the war have been most cheerfully borne, either from the impulse of strong patriotic motives, or from a fear of exciting suspicion of some degree of disloyalty. But now the war is ended, and peace once more smiles upon the land. Now the burdens which the war has brought upon us are becoming oppressively apparent, and this will of necessity form a more or less disturbing element in our governmental affairs. Men now feci called upon to gird themselves for the labor of repair ing war's devastations, and to the exercise of an inflexible and wise economy in all private and public expenses.

If the people must pay heavy taxes and they undoubtedly must the people ill very properly insist upon knowing the why aud the wherefore. This is right inasmuch as the effect will be wholesome upon the legislative as well as tlie admistrative branches of tlie government. Still, a system of taxation, broad and compre hensive as is ours, must be an absolutely perieci system in order to work without friction it is at present unquestionably something less than per fect in some of its details. As a system ot taxation, however, it is believed to be founded on sound and correct principles, and that when its provisions can be relieved of somewhat that is crude and ill-digested, its workings will be found equitable and just. The internal revenue department are empow ered only to admister the laws as they stand upon the statute books.

It is possible, of course, that an erroneous construction may be given to the provisions of the law, and possible that in the applications of the law to the vast number of ob jects of taxation, erroneous decisions have and may again be made. Such errors in decision afford ground of complaint undoubtedly, and yet it is often remarked as a fact to excite admiration, that so complicated a system has in its very beginnings been found to work so smoothly and equitably. While some persons may and probably have suffered hardship under the administration of the internal revenue law, in its application to them or their interest; yet it is quite true that much complaint that has been made grows out of a want of knowledge of the actual requirements of the law itself. The public attention has been somewhat aud that of individuals much interested of late in the question of the liability of certain "stock dividends" to be returned by the stockholder receiving it and to pay the tax thereon as iucome. A careful consideration of the provisions of the law-touching this question, will serve to dispel much, if not all, the misapprehension which exists in regard to the questions involved.

Is a dividend" taxable? It perhaps may be admitted that a "stock dividend" is not taxable as a dividend, inasmuch as by the provision in Section 120 dividends of scrip or money, are only made liable to the tax imposed; and it will be admitted that a "stock dividend" does not answer the description in law, being neither a dividend of seiip or money and technically therefore a "stock dividend" may not be regarded as a dividend in the meaning of the act; and is not therefore required to be returned as such by the institution making it, neither is the tax thereon liable to be paid by such institution. This statement, however, does not affect the real question at issue, Is a "stock dividend" income to the stockholder icceiving the same, and liable to the tax imposed upon all incomes? A "stock dividend" is in-cjmeto. the stockholder receiving it, provided the fund from which the distribution was made was derived from the earnings, or gains and profits of the institution, and acquired since the law went into effect. A mere extension of Wmi'dtfd cannot be called "income to the stockholder in the meaning of the law. But, a distribution of the profits ot an incorporated company its earnings or gains in the form ofacashora "stock dividend" is undoubtedly Income to the stockholder receiving it, and is subject to this single condition, viz: "That only so much of it as was acquired subsequent to hsC2, is held to be taxable income." We have therefore this conclusion, that a stock dividend derived from a fund which was acquired subsequent to June, 1S02, is deemed to be income to the stockholder receiving the sum, and must by him be returned as income, and is liable to the tax imposed thereon; and it is deemed to be of the animal income for the year in which the stockholder receives or becomes entitled to it, notwithstanding the fund from which the stock dividend was derived was acquired in previous years.

Such a dividend being received during th! year ISO I becomes the annual income of that, year. By the provision of Section 110 of the Excise Act, "there shall be levied, collected and paid annually, upon the annual gains, profits and income of every person residing in the United States, orof any citizen ofthe United States re. siding abroad, whether derived from any kind of property, rents, dividends, iuterests or salaries, or from any trade, profession, or employment or vocation, carried yn in the United States or elsewhere, or from anv other source tchuterer, a duty of 5 per centum, Ac, vVcc." It is clear from the above quoted provisons that income from every conceivable source "or from amj other tonrcv whatever' is liable to the income tax. Further It is provided, "that in ascertaining the income of any person liable to an income tax, the amount of income received from institutions whose officers are required by law to withhold a per centum of the dividends made by such institutions, and pay the same to the commissioner of internal revenue or other officer authorized to receive the same, shall be included, and the amount so withheld shall be daducted from the lix which otherwise would be assessed upon such person." It Is clear, therefore, that although certain income has already paid its tax, still, it does not relieve the person receiving it from liability to make sworn return of the same, but is relieved from paying so much tax as has already been paid thereon. The conclusions which we clearly arrive at, may be briefly stated thus That all the profits, gains and income, of a citizen of the United States, derived from any source whatever, must be returned as the annual income of the person receiving the same, for the year in which he receives or becomes entitled thereto.

Stock dividends derived from the accumulated gains or profits of an incorporated institution! which were acquired subsequently to January, 1302, are clearly gaius, profits and income to the stockholder receiving the same, and is liable to the tax imposed by law. The law provides that income gains or profits which have already paid the tax in the form of dividend or "surplus" are thereafter liable only to the additional tax which is imposed by law.

I enlisted in the first three years regiment from this State, served my three years with a salary of $13 per m6nth, time expired May 23d, 1S04, was mustered out of service with S50 others after being called cowards by our Lieutenant Colonel because we did not see fit to stay any longer in the service. Of course we do not deserve any bounty, and far one I am not go- ing to grumble about it but there is one thing I do object to and that is to be assessed a military tax within 4 months after being mustered out of service iu the face ol the ract tnat my three years service in the army excused me from military duty during the war. Would like you to mention this matter to Mr. Barnum after he returns from hts roasted menagerie and see if he can't have something did about it. Others have paid this tax without grumbling, but your humble correspondent can't exactly see it.

Yery truly yours, Uxiox. their appreciation of his services. I State .11 altera. New Britain Capt. V.
