On Tuesday evening last, our town was the scene

Taxes Of this county, was taking down the taxable pro-
perry Of VIM X. Richardson, young mechanic Of this
oOunty--a native we believe Of Dayton, Ohio. We
CHANGED to epresent at the time. After completing
the list and going through the regular routine Of inter
rOgatiOns which the law make the duty of the Asses
to prOpOundtO all Taxpayers, Mr.. Foster informed
Mr.. Richardson that was necessary Tor him to sWe ear
or affirm to the list he had rendered in. Mr.. R. who
seemed very Peulent and somewhat agitated through
the whole time, preemptoriy declined swearing. Mr.
FOstertOld him he must swear, be doubled taxed
that the law did not leave it discretionary with him, be
was obliged to swear all taxpayers. The DIN lie was

made pass al him after wounded. We Learn there
was an old gfudge between ihem-or a; least on the
part Of Richardson.
We have thus went into particulars, farther perhaps
than we have right tOo-OI than the public will beat

know that ''the will will be taken for the deed"
Since the thorough organization Of our regiment we
have been under maeh more rigid discipline than before

about mile distant from VicSsburg, and in, the midst
