The grounds Of our partially to the mea-

quite as efficient p plap as that before the
Senate for auth orisng the enlistment Of mi

and Il is only direct tax upon the commit
nifty in military service or money, at no great
,er rate than about two dollars per head on

most palatable taxes are bit necessary evils;
and this among others would better be- avoi-

notrequire it. But the public interest does
require energetic measures it requires, in

on the part of a state ought, in our view, TO
expedite rather than retard its adoption.

NEWS FROM THESOUTH.
From the two following extracts of letters
received by yesterdays mail from Tennessee,
j. appears probable that the force under Gen.
Jackson has achieved another victory over
the enemy's force in the neighborhood of Mo
bile. We hope the next mail from that quar-
ter will afford us ample confirmation of this
satisfactory intelligence:
" Frantkr, (Ten.) Oct. IS.

second battle with the British in the South,
and come off victorious. He lost 100 killed.
and 100 wounded. The enemy lost 400 kill
