TIIK PETROLEUM DISASTER. Th tinrrihle. trun-rdv which took place in the Southern section of thia city yesterday morning, by the burning of a depot for the storage of petroleum, will, we trust, cause our legislators to take compassion upon the inhabitants of Philadelphia and of every city and village in the State of Pennsylvania. This mournful disaster is not our first warning. "We have had several laroent- -rmfa rf tlo crrcat rhincrer which attend the Btorao-e of this inflammable product in crowded neighborhoods.

The press has done its duty in relation to the matter heretofore, and it has called for the passage of laws to restrain the danger. It has been ehown that the combustible exceeds in fierceness, when on fire, every substance yet dis-rfivcml. Nothing- has vet been found which will quench the flame when petroleum is burning, Water will not extinguish it, attempts to smotner it have been in vain. There seems to be no means of coping with such a dangerous adversary, and once on fire it will burn until totally consumed. Demands have been made by many citizens that municipal ordinances should be passed to pre tUa ctnrixn.

nf tuitmloiim in ahv inhabited neiirh- I t. vt I borhood. but the oDinion has existed that there was no authority in the city corporation to pass such a law. We waited for the Legislature, and up to this time no action hasl been taken upon the subject at Harrisburg. We hope that there will be no more delay upon the matter.

It is the duty of the Legislature to guard the lives and property of citizens. Petroleum should be banished from every crowded community and put under as stringent a code of regulations as gunpowder. When it is stored in quantities it becomes as unmanageable as the lava of Vesuvius, and may carry destruction for miles. Our streets serve as flaming conduits along which the fiery terror rolls with lury, filling up the width between house and house with a blazing and uncontrollable tide. The circumstances attending the devastation In the neighborhood of Ninth and Washington streets, are sickening and terrible.

Such a calamity was never known. An ordinary conflagration which sweeps from tenement to tenement gives at least some warning, and means by which the fleet-looted may escape. But this Lorror of yesterday rolled along with unparalleled ferocity, and in an incredibly short space of time enveloped whole rows of houses in an ocean of fire which penetrated into cellars and alleyways, invaded the wood-work of doors and windows, leaped into apartments and seized upon the roofs, enveloping all in one huge funeral pyre. The sudden aud appalling sacrifice is only to be ascribed to carelessness. The people of Moyamensing have been sleeping upon a volcano, which without notics opened and overwhelmed them.

In view of these calamitous tacts, we ask, can there be no protection against this giant evil? Are the pity and lamentation caused by this fearful event to be allowed to subside, and must the community remain to be menaced by similar events in similar store-houses of the inflammable substance? There are other places in the city where this article of petroleum is stored in large quantities, and in the vicinity of valuable buildings, the loss of which ivrmlrl nnf nnlv imnmorlah -arnrthv rsr r--- vtitij, iui cause a mghtrul sacrifice Of lite. In the name Of humanity we ask that the strong hand of the law be placed noon dealers in this commodity, that they shall be banished from the populated portions of our towns, to remote districts, far from i habitations or buildings other than their own, so that if conflagration ensues it will burn itself out where it originated, without loss or injury to innocent persons. More than fifty families have been made homeless by this calamity. They have lost everything. even their ordinary clothing.

Their melancholy Eituation calls not onlv forevmnathv. hnf for im- mediate assistance from the Charitable. Several rentlemcn culler! nt nnr nffieo -eafnroW ont genuemtn cauea at our omce yesterday and re- questea us to receive subscriptions unon behalf of 1 the sufferers. Usually we have declined to act in cases requiring public aid, believing that our charitable societies would be more appropriate almoners. But in this case we will relax our rule.

Interest money due upon notes, bonda and mortgages, or other forms of indebtedness, if good and collectable, is to be included as a part of the income. Gains upon purchases and sales of stocks or other property, real or personal, the increased value of live stock sold or on hand, and of the value of agricultural and farmers' productions of an estate, unsold, but on hand on the 31st of December of the year to be accounted for, are to be estimated and placed in the returns as 60 much income.

A deduction of six hun- ririinra is nilnwpid in all cases. The rate of the duty is increased also.

Between $600 and 65,000 the tax is five per cent. between 5,000 and $10,000, seven and a-half per over $10,000, ten per cent.

Afternoon Session. The Military Commission of the Senate which had visited Camp Curtin, made a report, that all its buildings were occupied, that soldi enlist have no quarters to protect them and that voung men who left comfortable homes in Mifflin county on Monday, were obliged to spend last night, during a heavy snow storm, in frail canvas tents, without nianh.ets ana no nre out log wood ones in the open air, 'inus shivering, volunteers, with the tears from their momrs eyes scarcely dry upon their temples, spent the bitter night.

An assessor under the United States revenue taws sends us a communication in relation to our article published yesterday, in reference to the publication of the income lists. He says that the provision of the original act of July, 1862, which axompted incomes upon manufactured articles which had paid ad valorem tax, was stricken out of the law by the amendment of March 3d, 1863. We admit the error in our statement.

He also says that incoma received for advertisements in newspapers is not exempted by the act of June B0, 1864. We never said that they were. Our remarks were entirely in relation to publications of the incomes of 1863, for which year the adver tisement income was deducted from the returns When the returns are made out by citizens for the income of 1864, there will be a different me thod of making up the account. The exemptions are changed in many particulars. For instance, where a family consisting of husband, wife and minor children, or of husband and wife only, re ceives separate incomes upon account of each member or of some of them, six hundred dollars only are to be deducted from the aggregate in come of all the members.

The deduction of dividends upon stocks of corporations and interest upon their bonds and debts are still to be allowed. Also the rent of the homestead of a family, and wnere it is not rented, but occupied by the owner, a i air rental value is also to be deducted. All national, State and local taxes paid, except the in come tax, are to be allowed. The amount naid for hired labor in carrying on a business, rents of piucesor Dusiness, money paid for repairs not exceeding the average of the Drecedins five years, and money paid for interest on incum brances on real estate mav be rlpdnptpd Bnt new buildings, permanent improvements and better-. ments are not to be deducted.

Advertisements are only exempted to the extent of six hundred dollars, and a newspaper not having a circulation oi two thousand copies is wholly exempt. uujects to be counted as income are also extended. Income from i temdf aad other wcuritiea of the United States is 1.
