SIEGE OPERATIONS AGAINST MANASSAS
General Mcclellan, it is reported, said the
war with the rebels is to be war with artil-
lery. This shows that he realizes where the
strength of the rebels lies, and will provide
himself accordingly with sufficient siege guns
and field-pieces to engage batteries success
fullyIt is reported that at the attack on Bull
Run, it was the common belief in the ranks
before the attack began, that they were not
to advance till heavy siege train Of ninety
pieces of ordnance should come up and batter
down the enemy's works and guns, and also
send tar balls or rockets among the brush to
burn the enemy's cover. When they did go
into action, their little howitsers and field
pieces sounded like pop guns, while the ene-
my's guns were like the explosion of a mine.
A General fit to command armies will learn
from his antagonist as many useful hints as
he can suggest himself. Mcclellan gives evil
dence of being good General by not ne.
glecting such opportunities of information
He will go forth to the next battle strong in
everything required for its success, and give
his troops, than whom none are drawer, pro-
perly handled, fair chance for victory by
making them at least as strong as their foes
Just as the British and French did at Sebas-
topol, should the United States army do at
Manassas. Siege guns of immense calibre.
greater than nything the rebels have, should
be placed in position. A fire greater than
their own should be concentrated upon their
batteries from corresponding earthworks, and
Manassas Junction be regularly approached
by siege operations. In addition to this, the
virtue of fire among the brushwood, to drive
the rebels from their cover, should be tried
until they are forced into the open field, and
have no advantages over the attacking party.
The British and French had more to contend
with in their taking of Sebastopol than we
have at Manassas. The Russians had a mas
ter mind in Toddleben, who made,the whole
field in front one vast fort. Boauregard proves
himself to be an apt scholar, aud military
genius in our army will be required to meet
such talent. His batteries are erected on
novel principle, which enabled him to place
his guns SO low that their fire swept unfail-
iugly through the ranks instead of going over
the eeads of the advancing columns, and this
is the cause of so many being wounded in
the legs and feet. Mcclellan seems to have
mind equally teachable. His genius will
be best exhibited when he comes to apply the
lessons. So far the assurances he gives in
spire confidence in his capacity. There must
be no more mistakes, but such force and
such means for every emergency which is
likely to occur must be provided, that sue
cess may be sure. p Philadelphia Ledger, Aug. 2.

imprisonment for Non.Payment Of
the War Tax.


We have published, elsewhere in our paper
this morning. an abstract of the revenue law
passed by Congress at the session just closed.
We must confess that we have been astound-
ed at the enormity of several of the provi-
sions of the act in regard to the collection of
the direct tax imposed to carry on Lincoln's
infamous war. The 54th section of the act
authorizes the collectors of tax and their as
sistants to ARREST AND COMMIT TO PRISON
whoever neglects or refuses to pay the tax.
1t is said ''whom the Gods intend to destroy
they first make mad" 1t appears to us that
Lincoln and his administration are rushing
swiftly to destruction. We had supposed
that imprisonment for debt had long ago been
abolished; but Lincoln's Government needs
money to carry on the war, and must have
money, and hence whoever refuses to pay his
tax collector must be imprisoned. We subjoin
the obnoxious section of the bill, and be-
speak for it careful perusal:
The several collectors and assistants ap-
pointed under the authority of this act may,
if they find property to satisfy the taxes as
sessed upon any person or authority of the
49th section of this act, and which such per-
son neglects to pay, as hereinbefore provid-
ed, shall have power, and 1t shall be their
duty, to arrest snch person and commit him
to prison to be held in custody until the same
shall be paid, with interest thereon. at the
rate Oh per Ccuts pCH ouuuul, iIOih INC
time when the same was payable as afore-
said, and all fees and charges of such COM
mitment and custody. And the place of Gus
tody shall in all cases be the same provided
! by law for the custody of persons committed
| for any cause by the authority of the United
States, and the warrant of the collector, sta
| ting the cause of commitment, shall he sui
! ficient authority to the proper officer for re-
ceiving aud keeping such person in custody
until the amount of said tax and interest,
and all fees and expenses of said custody,
| shall have been fully paid and discharged;
| which fees and expenses shall be the same as
are chargeable under the laws of the United
States in other cases of commitment and Gus
tody. And it shall be the duty of such col
| lector to pay the expense of such custody,
| and the same, with his fees. shall be allowed
| on settlement of his accounts. And the per-
son 60 committed shall have the same right
! to be discharged from such custody as may
| be allowed by the laws of the State or Terri
tory in the District of Columbia where he IL
| 90 held in custody to persons committed IN
| der the laws of such State or Territory for
the non-payment of taxes, and in the man
ner provided by such laws; or be may be dis
charged at any time by order OF the Secreta
~ Of the Treasury.

For the Patriot
Our ssGfnss

Ouf ''Gl1tsS,
respectfully dedicated TO Mr.. and Mrs. BAxrE
SAifs.)
One week ago, a little gem,
Of beauty rare and bright,
Was sent US by a mighty King
The God of Love and Light.
Not such an one as mOrtals love,
To seek as prize or goal
But one whose value none can Know
A pure immortal soul.
OH with what joy we hailed the gift,
and watched her infant charms,
As with such calm and holy trust,
She slept within arms.
Yes, darling ssvickie,'' thy sweet lips,
so soil and rosy red,
Soon learned, for every touch or kiss,
A beauteous smile TO shed.
Thy little eyes, they seemed TO laugh
And give responses too
So much of mind was conferred there,
Within their meltin blue.
But darling 'Pet," thou vast gem,
From Gods own holy crown,
And couldst not stay to shed sweet rays
On earthly hearts around.
just seven days, thy light was shed
Then from the courts on high
A message called thy spirit back
And bade thy body die.
Our hearts rebelled at this command
And deemed the trial sore;
But ahl the sad, sad hour would come
When "Vickie'' was no more.
Then rest thee darling in thy grave,
Beside thy sleeping brother;
And may you both come, Angels bright
To cheer your weeping mother;
And guide your fether's footsteps too,
Unto the paths of peace,
And watch your Irving brothers form
Till Death gives him release.
