In cuiqquetice of th change iu the Jaw al loiving 1,000 cxempfioinnmead of $000, only twelve hundred persons have re turned income for the year 1800. Ex empting 1,200 persons from 5f3c tax on $'J0 each, make a diOercuce to the in come tax for the year 1 SSGG, of 821,000. The irix hundred and odd persons wdo retumcJ income for the year 1H05, would on an average, if only ix hundred had been exempt, have returned 8200 each, the tax on wl.kh would havobpen 86,000.

The Uuman Hcnttaei. . ., There was nothing in Pompeii that in vested it with a deeper interest to me than the spot where a soldier of old Rome displayed a most heroic fidcltiy. That fatal day on which Vesuvius, at whose feet the city stood, burst out into an cruptiott that hook the earth, pour ed torrents of lava from its riven sides, and discharged, amidst the neise of a hun dred thunders, such clouds of ashes as filled the air, produced a darkness deep er than midnight, aud htruck mch terror into all hearts that men thought not on ly ihst t'tiu ct;d of the 'worhl- had come nn 1 all must die, but that the gods thera felves were expiring on that night a fcutinel kept watch by this gate which locked to' the burning mountain. Amid.A unimaginable confusion, and shrieks of terror mingled with the roar of the vol cano, and erics of mothers who had lo.t their children in the darkness, the inhab itants fled the fatal town, whtlo falling allies, loadiug tho darkened air, and pen etrating every place, roe in the streets till they coveted the houc roofs, nor left a vestiga of the city but a vat silent ruGundM?encath which it lay unknown, tlcad and buried, for nearly 1,700 years. Amidst this fearful disorder the sentinel at the gate had been forgotten; and as Rome required her sentinels, happen what might, to hold their posts till reliev ed by the guard or get at liberty by their officers, he had to choose between death and dishonor. Pattern of fidelity, he stood by his pot. Slowly but surely, the ashes risc oa his manly form ; now they reach his breast ; and now ; covering hi lips they choke his breathing. He also was "faithful unto death." After seven teen centuries they found his skeleton Standing erect in a marble niche, clad in its rusy armor the helmet on Jus empty skull; and his bony fingers still closed up on hU'spcar. And next almost to the in terest I felt in placing myself on thpsppt Vfcrc ram, true to his coiors, wncn uu men deserted htm, plead before the Ro plan tyrant, was the interest I felt in tho nichp by the pity gate where they; fouqd the skeleton of one who, in his fidelity to the cause of Ctcsar, sets us an . example of faithfulness to the cau.e of Christ- an example it wcro for tho honor of their 31astcr that all his servants ibllowed.-- Pr, Guthrie. A "Divine" Scoundrel -We see our exchanges are giving one William Smith, a Radical Divine, considerable notoriety; Smith formerly preached Radicalism, and forgot the doctrines of our Savior, at 3Ion roeville, this county. While there he se duced his own sister-in-law, a little girl thirteen years old. He succeeded in his hellish designs by pointing out to her sundry passages of ; the scripture, which, ho said, justified hiscouduct, and which, ho declared, made it obligatory on, her part. For. six years did this divine Radi cal carry oti illicit intercourse with the girl, and during all that time he has been denouncing the Democratic party as trat tors, thieves, seducers, and all that was bad. . Tho girl was induced through the offieiousncss of the robber of her chastity, to marry tho brother-in-law, by his' first wife, of the Divine. Ihoi wedding " was hastily consuiuuia,tpd, in Ofdr to hide tho shamo of tho girl, Vfhicht would. tsoon be known, , Thq husband, ;h6vcyerf,r With drew' from the' polluted wonian, and' left nvi iu nee iv sitnttev nini net eeuueer, xnp abbvo we learn from the 'Van Wcri Times, jjud we' see by -tHe JJgonhr Mariner that, the thing, Smith; was to have, addressed a Radical powwow in that-village last week.' 1 "Rrethren, let us pray'JFbr I Wayne'i Indptjnocrdt. - ' - -' U h- : Sweet.

I also take the ground that the differ cut oathn I haye taken to support the Constitution, as an officer, were not binding longer than I held aid office.

JTegro Candidate lor Consre A negro named Ficklins is a candidate for Congress in the first district of Geor gia. If elected, it is not probable he will be admitted to a seat. He talks very unlike a "loyal," alias a Jacobin, nicker. and, therefore, like a sensible one. Sensi- bio niggers arc not wanted in Congress just at this time. Such is not the recoil straction programme. Jacobin ' niggers.. would be permitted to take, s?ats 1a the national legislature. ' - v iMekling says there are three clashes of radicals in the South. The first two de-'. scribed by him arc meaner than the third; -and we, therefore, present a sensible nig-f'-gcr's opinion of the best class of radicals.; in tho Southern States, who are now en--. gaged "in th? iztcresU of God and hu manity:" '' v "The third class of our would-be cc- " partners in the business of reconstruction are the scrapings of a ground-swell of t New England fungi; and from the specP mens that have-cocry South to grow re spcctablo ori -the 'nigger" vote,' and get ' itch by picking.up little things, sueb as spoons and the like, I am very much in clined to the opinion that a most harmo- , nious and lasting brotherhood may be es tablished between them and class No. 2. Such individual, in the days of slavery,.' would have been kicked out of the mean-; est darkey's cabin in the slave States, and , it is to-day an undeniable fact that their statu: is far below the standard of respec tability, even among thecolored peoplo they have succeeded thus fat in imposing -upon. Too low, and mean, and contempt- ible at home to be trusted with any office t of honor, trust, or profit, they are hereto offer their patriotic (?) services and vir-. tuous (?) example for our moral elevation ' acd political advancement; acd, suppos ing tbe negro to be at least a little - bit r lower in the scale 0?

The companionship of such a wife ' was even more precious than her indus try and economy. 1 "I have beeri farming twenty-two years. ! The 'first four years I was unmarried. X ; began farming with two hundred and fifS . ty acres, in the Blue Grass region., I handled cattle, hogs, sheep, and horses principally the two first named-and lived, I thought tolerably economically, spent.; ; none of the money for tobacco in any. way; never betting a cent or dissipating in any way, and yet, at the end of the four . years, I had made little or no clear mon-w ! ey. I then parried a young lady eight een years of age-one ;who had-, never ; done any housework, orv work of "ffuy" . kind, except making a portion of her own clothes. Sh had never made . s shirtj drawers, pants, or waistcoat, . or even sewed a stich on a coat, and yet, be fore wc had "been married a year, she had tnade for me every one of these articles; of clothing named, and knit numbers .-of ' pairs of socks for me yes, and mended divers articles for me, not excepting aii old hat or two. She had also made but- ter, sold eggs, chickens, and other fowls, f and vegetables, to tho amount . of near. . S600 in cash, at the end. of the year"1 whereas during the four years that I was. single, I had never sold five cents .worthr , besides making me purely happy and contented with, and at my own homern , And so far as to making of money, ; we have made money clear of expanses, ev ery year since we were married, in every thing that we havo undertaken on- the farm, and she has made from 350 to , 6500 a year, except one, during the time. . selling butter, eggs, and marketing of different kinds. My yearly expenses for ' fine clothing, &c, before I was married,- ; were more than my yearly expenses were after I was married, combined with the t expenses of my wifo and children, and our farm has increased Irom 250: ' to 62Ck f acres; and I believe that1 if I "had lnofc married, it never would have' increased but little, if any; and I have never been absent from home six nights, when my. wife was at home, since wo were married,- ' and her cheeks kiss as sweetly to me as they did the morning after we were mar- r ried. ...-.. - ... .. .
