The amount for 1854 is partly eslima-

al result.
The valuation last had, brings much
property which has heretofore escaped,
upon The tax list. II also approaches, as
near as possible under any system, to the
real value Of the property. With a very
few exceptions, therefore, the rule of
equality Of burdens may be deemed as
permanently established in Ohio.
The Banks, acting under Charters from
The General Assembly, fotR the only
formidable exception 10 the general &C.
quiescence ia this just and equitable rule.

sue an honorable course, and act within the
bounds Of said law, but IL they will continue
to violate the same, they may expect stern
enforcement OF the law.
| Resolved That we have, and still intend
to assist the committee heretofore appointed
by this society to enfo, ce the law to the very
utmost extent, and that without respect to
person, for we believe that any man who
will traffic in ardent spirits contrary to law,
is not true man to his country, and is not
worthy to be called citizen.
Resolved, That it is our opinion that the
arguments adducei by Judge Corwin and 9TH
ers, against the conStitutionaiiy of the law
are entirely without ground, and if the same
principles be carried out would prove The prin-
cipa part of our laws to be null and void
Resolved, That the course pursued by Judge
Cali,0eN at the district court at its last ses-
sion in Belmont county is dclctcrous TO the
cause of temperance, and should receive the
condemnation of all good temperance men.
Resolved, That we will not support any
man for any office whatever, who is not
strictly temperance man, and in ia, or Of
the enforcement of the present liquor law.

resolutions be presented to each of our county
Editors for publication.

year since, she was rendered quite helpless

time she suffered extremely; but she bore it
all with Christian meekness and patient
resigna,iouj and to use her own language,
always locking to the strong for strength to
sustain her under those severe affection.
Nor did she look in vain, for her strength was
equal to her day and trial. The writer has
had the privilege Of u long acquaintance with
the deceased, and during her last illness,
enjoyed frequent interviews with her, and
usually found her, exercising strong cofdence
in God and scnjoying peaceful frame of
mind; and truly it may be said her end was
peace, for she iel. asleep in Jesus.
But while we pay this smll tribute of
respect to the memory O. our departed friend
we think it due, on behalf o her children and
friends, that all the untring effort could do
for years past to make her happy, TO alleviate
her suflerings when afflicted and smooth her
pathway to the tomb, was chccrrully and
promptly done by them; and this they felt
to be fully due to one who had ever been to
them one of the kindest and best of mothers.
May we who survive the deceased, both
relatives and Ycquaintanccs, by whom she
was so highly esteemed initiate her virtues,
that our end may be as peaceful aud happy
as hers. w. II.

From the Mobile Rerister, 9th.

ANOTHER BATTLE BETWEEN THE IRISH AND
THE AMERIcANs-Me Americans drivan from
the potlS--retreat Of The TiSi-the Americans
finally victorious!-A serious riot occurred at
the 9th Ward yesterday afternoon, which
promised for time to lead TO GeplJrable
results.
The facts as we have gathered them from
eye witnesses are substantially as follows
AT an early hour, Il difficulty between the
Americans and Irish occurred, in which the
former being greatly in the minority. were
driven from the polls. EXasperuted at this
state Of affairs, the Americans rallied in
large numbers, and proceeded to the seat of
war. After some skirmishing, an Irshman
who is barkeeper under the Amphtheatre,
got into fight with an American, and being
pressed by numbers, fled into house ten
anted by Spanish family, on corner of
Royal and Eslava streets.
Under the impression that the house was
a rendezvous of the Irish rioters, the vust
crowd poured in, demolishing windows and
banisters, in search of the fugitive, who, as
we afterwards ascertained, had taken refuge
in the chimney. A shot was fired at the
crowd by one, of the inmates of the house,
but unfortunately the contents were received
by fema'e e, also an inmate, who endeavored
to prevent the suicidal attempt, on the part
of her countryman.
Had it not been for the fleeing of the
Irish and the expostula ions of the Mayor
the mob enraged as it was, might have pro-
ceeded to greater eXtremiiies.
AS it was, it ended in far less bloodshed
than was expected, considering the missls
of every description resorted to, though there
was enough to satisfy the most exactng.
ANoTHtR Accountable Mayor was early
on the ground and commanded the peace, and
by his prompt and judicious course succeeded
in restoring order. We are not advised how
= the difficulty omm enced, but French, Irish
and Natives seemed to have had a part in it.
The latter were repulsed at first, being consid-
erably outnumbered, but soon received large
reinforcements, when they were left masters
of the field. Deaoly weapons were present.

increase the, excitement. Fortunately how
ever, no serious harm resulted, though the

The deceased resided in Philadelphia, Pa,
but was on visit here amongst her relatives
at the time OF her death. She leaves an only
son and large number OF friends to mourn
her departure. During her sickness she ex.
pressed herself to the family that she was
prepared TO leave them to DIV ell with Jesus
Why then should we mourn her departure

From its tenement hath fed;
Mourn her not although she's left US;
Though she sleeps among the dead"
"Nourn her not! she died in beauty
Like the fragrant summer rose
Falls from oil its parent branches,
When the blast OF Autumn blows"
"Mourn her not! she lives in glory,
In that chungelcss bright abode;
In the heaven of vernal beauty,
In the paradise of God"
''Mourn her not we soon shall see her,
Though from earth she's passed away,
For we soon shall hail her, happy
