The Aggressive, The Truly Defensive

the conventions:
SEC. 4. That the said certificates or notes
shall be negotiable and shall be receivable in

ment Of public dues shall indorse On each sae
Of them the date OF such receipt and he
amount Of interest sllswed thereon 10 such

the Interest upon such certificates or notes
shall cease from that date; and it shall be he
duty Of each tax collector who shall have on

of this ordinance, and which shall be pagaaie
az the end Of the fiscal year Tor which the tax

This ordinance requires the sherifs TO re-

pay them IL they have any money In their

says;

points in that vicinity
MuDson's Hill is naturally a strong position,
and ia especially So for the rebels, who are at
that point only four miles distant from tue
railway leading straight to Manassas Junction
and Richmond. Munson's Hill is about three
and q half miles, as the crow dies, from Fort
Cooorsn and Arlington House Il is four and
a BALI miles from the Long BFidge-due west
and not more than thres from Fort Albany. So
far as an attack upon our Notifications is con-
ceFned, the occupation Of Munson's Hill is of
10 Importance. r. is utterly impossible for
