the most brilliant and dashing exploit of the war.
Maj. Zagonyi and his men left our camp at 9
o'clock on the night Of the 2ith, and arrived al
Springfield, 81 miles distant, at o'clock the next
afternoon. Though they found the place held by
over 600 Rebels, instead Of 500 or 600 as was sup
posed, they did not turn back, but making circuit

and ware drawn up in line-ofbatte to receive them

In order to reach them, the Body Guard were com.

The Confederate War Tax.

There seems to be general preference. saws
the Examiner, on the part of the States of the
Ooniederacy to prevent the Confederate tax
gatherers from making their appearance among
them, when they can save ten per centum upon
the Whole sum by collecting it under State au-
thorlty, and paying it into tie Confederate treas
ury. 1t certai ly seems to be more satisfactory
that the people should be visited by the tax COL
lectors of but one Government provided the
system of State taxation is not Objectionable on
the ground of inequality
1t is to be noticed, however, that Congress
has not apportioned the sum to be raised among
the States. without the Intervention of Confed-
crate Assessors. In the act of Congress provjs-
ion is made for the appointment of assessors by
the Confederate Government, and the valuation
OF taxable property in each State 1t would
seem, therefore, that there is no way of ascer-
tanning the amount which each State is REQUIRED
to pay till this assessment is made.
