INCOMES.
An interesting pamphlet, embodjing some
cartons facts in reference to the internal reve
nue, has just been published, from " which we
learn that out of the whole popolatioo of the
United States only 450,000 persons paid a tax
unon incomes in other words, that out of the
thirty five millions of our Deople. less than half
a million have incomes of more than $600 ft
jear. Those who have le6s than that evidently
need it all to live on, and thus cpend all they:
earn. The great mass of the people, therefore,
are taxed only indirectly, through the duties of
the imposts imposed on the articles, they con
sume; and if these are increased, their wages
must be increased also, else they cannot live.
It is stated in the same connection, that one of
the largest railroads in the country has adopted
the principle of paying to its common laborers
the price of a barrel of flour per week, finding
this to be a more just and satisfactorily mode of
measuring the value of labor than the price of
paper money, as it is assumed that the price of
the necessaries of life are more likely to follow
the price of flour than the fluctuations of the
currency. This, to a certain extent, may be a
very good test of the value of labor: but as the
price of flour must be higher or lower, accord
ing to the extent of the grain crops, and the
pticea of. other articles .be regulated by the
amount of taxes put upon them through the
agency of tariffs and excise, the rise or fall in
the flour market cannot always secure a corres
ponding rise or fall in other, commodities. If
the crops shall be very abundant, "bread
stuffs may decline below the comparative stan
dard for many other articles, and if they bo
short and the supply limited, then prices will
be higher in proportion than the prices of other
articles. The restoration of the whole country
to wanted prosperity by the encouragement of
production throughout all its borders, by the
cutting off of every possible source - of expendi
ture so as to reduce taxation, and by cutting off
also the politicians and setting tbem aside in
every quarter, while the people white and black;
may labor undisturbedly, are the things that are
needed are the things that are imperative! for
the relief of all. Baltimore Sun.
Oniqns. "Onions," says Dr. Hall, "are one
of the most nutritious, healthful, and detestable
articles of food in our markets. We never ate
one to our knowledge, and never expect to; we
can smell them a mile off, perhaps. A few
grains of coffee eaten immediately afterwards,
or a teaspoon ful of vinegar swallowed, removes
at once the odor from the breath. If onions
are half boiled, and the water thrown away, and
then put into soup to be boiled done the odor
will be but little noticed."

I'-: :j TRBA80If IN CIVIL. WAR. i
From the New York Tribune, May 27th, (Radieal.)
- Gan a government, which,' after a Jong arid
rduous struggle, put ' down an , organized and
formidable rebellion, proceed to try and punish
its defeated adversaries as traitors f
The question is readily answered in the af
firmative by ignorance and passion perhaps
also by wisdom and calm judgment. ' Let us
inquire and consider. "
Unquestionably, a Government' may refuse
from the putset to recognize its domestic foes a3
belligerents, engaged in lawful war. It may
say to them, as Maximilian did to his Mexican
adversaries "l oa are not warriors, but banditti
.brigands, robbers whom j if captured by my
armies, I shall treat as arrested felons." But
this is a two-edged sword, as Max. is very likely
to discover. The Government which treats its
enemies as felons must expect to have its ad
herents so treated by those adversaries to have
its soldiers , shot or hung when captured, if it
shoots aud hangs those, whom it captures.
Whatever rule it acts upon will surely work
both ways., - . - -
On the main question, the doctrine generally
held by American statesmen and publicists prior
to 1860, will be found succiutly set forth by
Daniel Webster, in his address on laying tbe
corner-stone of Bunker Hill Monument (June
17th, 1825), wherein he" says of the conse
quences of that memorable combat : '
"The batthfof Bunker Hill was attended
with the most important effects beyond its im
mediate . result as a. military engagement." It
created at once a state of open, public war
There could now be no longer a question of
proceeding against individuals, as guilty of
treason or rebellion. That fearful crisis was
past. The appeal now lay to the sword; and
tbe only question was, whether the spirit and
the resources of the people would bold out till
the object should be accomplished." " " k
, Bear in mind that our fathers had not even
declared, their independence on the 17th of
June, 1775, when they fought at Bunker Hill j
nay, they bad not definitely resolved on separa
tion from the mother country." In the eye of
British law-and of the law of nations, for that
matter they were simply rebels, resisting the
authority and the army-of their legitimate king.
Yet Mr Webster holds that the naked fact that
they resisted in battle array, under -the com
mand of their constituted local authorities, pre
cluded any civil proceedings against them as
"individuals guilty of treason or rebellion."
Of course,- Mr Webster did not originate this
doctrine. He was not the man to do the like
of that. He found it interfused throughout our
entire Revolutionary history and literature.
Thus, Chief Justice Marshall, in his Life of
Washington, relates that, when tJeneral Gage,
commanding the King's forces in 'Boston, ar
rested several eminent -Whig- civilians and
lodged them io jail, along with our eaptured
officers and soldiers, to be dealt with as traitors, j
Washington remonstrated "very seriously apatnst
this unjustifiable measure," (says Marshall,)
while General Gage "regarded the Americans
merely as rebels, and : treated them as if the
great national resistance they were making on
principle was to . be viewed as the act of a few
daring and turbulent individuals," and, as such,
wrote Gage, ."prisoners whose lives are, by the
laws of the land, destined to the cord." Wash
ington at ooee instituted measures for retaliation;
should this violation of public law and of public
war be earned into: effect, and thereby brought
the British General to a recognition of the just
principles of civilized warfare, as enunciated by
Vattel and other writers on public law.,
James Otis, the Wyclif of John Hus of our
Revolution, Alexander Hamilton (in The Fed
eralist,) and all, our Revolutionary publicists of
any authority, refer to and quote from Vattel's
Law of Nations as setting forth the judgment of
the civilized world in accordance with the doc
trines of WTeb6ter and -Washington above cited.
Vattel, in his chapter on civil war, says i
4But what conduct shall the sovereign ob
serve toward the insurgents ? I answer, in
general, such conduct as shall at the same time
be the most consonant to justice and the most
salutary to tbe State Subjects who rise
against their prince without cause deserve se
vere punishment; yet, even in this case, tn ac-.
count of the number tf "delinqncot!, clemency
becomes a duty in the sovereign. A
civil war breaks the bonds of "society and gov
ernment, of, at least, suspends their force and
effect; it produces in the nation two independent
parties, who consider each other as enemies,
and acknowledge no common judge.' Those
two parties, therefore, must necessarily be con
sidered as thenceforward constituting, at least
for a time, two separate bodies, two distinct
societies. .Though one of the parties may have
been to blame in breaking the unity of the State
and resisting the 'lawful authority, they are not
the less divided in fact. Besides, who enall
judge them 7 They stand, therefore, ia
precisely the same' predicament as two nations,
who engage in a contest, and, being ' unableto
come to an agreement, have recourse to arms.
This being tbe case, it is very evident that the
common laws of war ought to be observed1 by
both parties in verv civil war." For the same
reasons which render the'observance of those ('
maxims a matter of obligation between State
and State, it becomes eoually, and even more
necessarv in tho unbapT circumstances of twOJ
incensed parties lacerating their common coun
try." "Thus there exist in the State two
separate bodies, who pretend to absolute inde
pendence, and between whom there is no-judge.
They, decide their quarrel by arms not courts
of ciyil law J an4 as two different nations Would

From the Asbeville Newi 1 '.
GEOLOGY AUD MINER ALOGY. "
r ! '- Fearklin, N, C i May C, 1867.
Mr Editor : At your request, . and " that of
other friends,-1 propose to write a few brief ar
ticles for your paper, the first of which will be
devoted to the Geology and Mineralogy of the
transroouotain counties of North Carolina. , It
is due; to myself, to state that I served under
the late Dr. Emmons as Assistant Geologist in
thtf part of the State survey J -"-""My report was
placed m the hands of Dr. Emmons, which, ho
informed me was, with his own manuscripts,
placed in the hands of the Governor for publi
cation During the excitement incident to the
breaking oot of the war the whole of the manu
scripts were lost. ' Arid as there now is much
interest felt about the resources of this section,
I have Concluded to make gome general state
ments, reserving to myself all discussion of the
economical value of particular mining districts
as the parties interested may require.
- The Blue Ridge from the head waters of the
French Broad to the head of Naq'talee is com
posed principally oPGranite of a rather Gneis
soid structure On the Northern, slopes it is
regular Gneiss with Mica and Talcose slates;
but about equidistant from the summit of the
Blue Ridge to the summit of tbe Smoky foun
tains commences the Talconio series of Emmons.
The Smoky mountain chain is made up of. are
nacious clay slates, with interfoliations of argil
laeious shades, and a sort of Porphyrinic Gneiss.
The Gneiss of the Northern slopes of the Blue
Ridge contains excellent beds of yellow copper
ores, which commences to Towns county, Geor
gia, and passes through Macon, Jackson, Hay
wood and Buncombe in North Carolina. Of
the economical value of this- metaliferous belt I
have not a doubt I have investigated it tho-'
roughly,- and risk- nothing in the ' statement.
This belt is marked by a Serpentine range
which I have traversed for tbe distance of an
hundred and sixty or seventy miles. At some'
points on this range there are beds of valuable
chrome-ore. There are also on this central
Gneiss. belt out-crops of an excellent quaUty of
Magnetic Iron,, which with Railroad ' facilities
oould be made valuable. ' ' J v
.This same central belt furnishes fine speci
mens of Kjanite, Quartz, Christials, Tremolite,
llutile, black: TourmoIiOj Hornblend, Blend,
beautiful white Feldspar, Picrolite, ' Actinolite;
Asbestus, Talc, both black and greenishr .Ex
cellent cabinet specimens of these minerals may
be had.. : . . v ' ' ' ,'' ; ' . '
There is also small cubes"' of argentiferous
Galena found in Gneiss. 1 also found fine speci
mens of massive Ilmenite, on Little Ivy The
copper ores of this belt are different' from the
ores of Duck Town, and are found in a different
t class of rocks. - Here tbev occur as Conner Py-
ritea with Green Malachite. The ores of Duck
Town are a- black copper smut, partially oxi
dized, in the first beds.- Under this lies cupri
ferous Arsenical Pyrites, and at greater depth
an excellent copper Pyrites. Ia.this belt-the
ores are free from all Arsenical combinations,
and are most admirably located for economical
mining, being found, in Jiigh mountain elopes
and ridges; so that the mines may be brained by
adit levels and the ores storVd aod brought to
the dressing yards. It is worthy of .remark,
also, that these mountains abound in the, beet
material for fuel for smelting works. 1 hazard
nothing in'Mvifg that with Railroad facilities
for transporting the'metai, these mines will pro
duce' an immense amount of copper aj, as cheap
post as any other mining district can do. Noth
ing indeed, is" wanting bu t capit a l a rid Railroads
to make this one of the most successful .mining

The Jews of the present day,, in the exercisa
of their religion rites, keep on the tenor of their
way; and seldom engage rn! controversy, hher
doctrinal or Other, wilSthpsn not of the house

attacked. An occasion of this exceptional kind
occurred ia Cincinnati on -Saturday last, when
the Rabbi, V IS. Wise, preached a serriion to a
crowded congregalkm- in the TIebrew Temple,
corner of Flora and blghln streets; in which tie
reviewed the discourse preached at tho opening
of the General Assembly of the Presbyterian
Church, in the United Stafea,' in', the: Central
Church, Cincinnati, May 16th, by R. L Stanton,
D. Dn Moderator of the last General Assembly,
on the text: : For I determined Hot to know
anything among you, save Jesus Christ, and Him
crucified." Rev, Mr Wis announced for. his text
the last three verses of Micah, ' ending thus:-"
"Thou wilt perform the truth to Jacob, and lha
mercy to Abraham,1 wbieh thon hast tworn onto
our fathers from the1 days of iM?"' ' - - " " ?

Israel, on liberality of views, on 'deists, philan

covering arith hs breadth all who do not subscribe
to the' views of tbe author of the same.- It waa
especially proper that this should be considered;
when we were told by the brother that we could
not teach one single doctrine, with truth, out ot
all in which we had believed, &c; cVcu v
"This brother actually called forth the doctrine
of Church 4ibove State, 4haf bloody doctrine of
Jesuits and Popesagainst which mankind ' had
been struggling for the last eight centuries,
through which nations had waded with bloody -wars,-which
deprived men of the liberty of speech
and even of thought. It was the came terrible
doctrine against which Martin Luther contended?
against which Protestantism had been struggling
for years, a bane to mankind, a curse that- had '
cost us so much blood. Such was the doctrine
that the Church should overrule the State, , Israel"
