The Rebels on the Eve of At
tar King our Lines.
NEW YORK, Aug. II.

The Heralds dispatch, Washington 10th,
says: "Numberless incidents tend to show
that the rebels are on the eve of attacking
our lines. Last night il was discovered
that the rebel lines had been advanced in
all directions toward the Potomac. Their
force at Fairfax Court House has been
largely increased. Heavy forces have been
thrown out OF all the roads A large
! body Is proceeding toward Point of Rocks.
Their scouting parties are in the immediate
vicinity of our lines along the whole extent
VI the Potomac.
THE rebels in Baltimore to day received
Intelligence that the rebels were then
marching upon Washington, and the idfor.
nation was published in an extra. Ii is
thought that they were only little prema-
ture. Scott does not think the attack will
be made, but Gen. Mcclellan, who was a
classmate of Beauregard, and is familiar
with his mode of combination, is we'll con-
WINGED that he will. make an attack upon
some point on the Potomac.
ut is said the rebels have nearly 100 600
men between here and Richmond. They
have not the means to provide far this i'm
mehse army. They know that. under the
management of Mcclellan, our army is
becoming daily more formidable in mum.
6ers and discipline, and our works more
nearly impregnable, while there forces are
getting more dIsorganized and demoralized
by delay, and the poor prospect for provis-
ION tor ther comfort and maintenance during
winter. They cannot afford to wait for
the result; of Gen. Scott's plan of starving
them out, or Gen. McClellan's programme
to have the army perfectly disciplined and
prepared before he begins to advance -
They must either fight now or see their
army melt away from neccsssity without
another blow being struck. That an attack
will be made within very short time is
generally conceded.

Mr.. Arnold ON the Tax Bill.
The Washington correspondent of Chi
cago Renublicsn DaDar saya

The Washington correspondent of Chi.
cagO Republican paper says:
"Mr. Arnold, of the Chicago district
made neat little speech just before the
passage of the bill, in opposition to that
feature Of the measure which distributed
the tax among the States in the ratio of
population. By this unequal rule, said
Mr.. Arnold, Illinois would have 10 nav
nearly three times as much in proportion
to the assessed value of her lands as Mass
achusetts or Vermont All the Western
States would be assessed from five to six
mills on the dollar of valuation of real
estate, while the New England States es-
capped with barely two bills on the dollar of
valuation. This gross inequality was rem
dered still greater by the fact that the dis
parity between the two sections in personal
property, which did not enter into the ele-
ments of this levy at all, was still more
marked In proportion to the POPULATION
than the difference in real estate Illinois
moreover, and her sister States, had suffer
ed more severely by this rebellion than the
Eastern States, because of the enormous
depreciation in the securities on which her
bank circulation was based, and which was
reduced by this rebellion to less than half
Its nominal value. While Illinois would
pay every dollar she possessed sooner than
see the government fail of sustaining its
Authority, she asked to be treated fairly
and equitably in the matter"

FURTHER PARTICULARS.
Springfield, NJ. Aug 70.


The correspondent Of the 81 Louis Den,
ocrdt furnishes detailed account of the
battle but all the main facts have already
been telegraphed,
The enemies camp extended along Will
sons Creek about three miles, enclosed by
high ground on either side, upon which
the greater part of the engagement was
fought
Is does not appear from this account,
that the rebels we're driven back any con-
siderable distance, but their charges were
all repulsed. and they burned large amt
of camp equipTage and baggage to prevent
its capture.
The enemy had twenty-One pieces of
artillery, and a very large body of cavalry
Gen Seisel attacked the enemy from the
southeast, as soon as he heard firing from
Gen. Lyons command, and drove them
back half mile taking possession of their
camp, which extended west to the Fayette
vile road. Here a terrible fire was poured
inro his ranks, which he had permitted to
advance within few PAGES of hun, SUI
posing 1t to ne the Iowa First. His men
scattered considerably and Col. Solrman's
could not he rallied. Consequently Seigel
lost five or six guns, the other 5eir.g brought
away by Capt Hagg, who compelled his
prisoners t. drag it off the field
Our troops captured abuut four hundred
horses Our loss is about two hundred
killed, and from six tn seven hundred
wounded. while the loss of the enemy cam
nor possibly be less than double ours, their
forces having moved in large bodies. and
ou7 artillery playing on them with terrible
effect
Lieut.. Col. Brand. who commanded a
rebel fnrce at Bounvile and has since been
acting as aid to Gen. Price. was taken

Independent Treasury Law
Repealed.

! One Of the most Objectionable acts of the
recent special session of Congress was the
I repeal of the Independent Treasury Law,
under the operations of which our public
money has been preserved from the posi-
| bility of loss since the downfall of the old
United States Bank. This was Demo-
cratic measure, and, consequently, our Re.
publican rulers must tear it down. TIA
pears that notwithstanding their mo party"
cry they are determined to wipe from the
statute book every law tinctured with De-
m7cracy-hence the repeal of the Revenue
Tariff and the Independent Treasury sys-
tenn
Hereafter the public money of the Gov

make an effort to divide the spoi,s with

Thus the people will have the beauties

the next three years. By that time, their

policy under which our country has seen so

The Lamented Lyon

A correspondent of the Missouri Demo
crat thus speaks Of Gen. Lyons views and
actions Immediately before the battle in
which he lost his life:
On the Tuesday night previous, he had
arranged for a night attack upon the enc
my, but singularly found himself, delayed
two hours behind the proper time for
starting, by rumors Of a skirmish on the
prairie west of town, and the attack was
postponed Wednesday he said to me :
Well, begin to JeiteUe our term Of sol
diering is about completed | hare tried
earnestly to discharged my trhole duty 10
the government. and Appealed to them tor
reintorcementS and supplies; GUt alas,
hey do not come, and tie enemy is getting
the advantage Of us" He then called a
council of war, at which there was nearly
an unanimous vnice Cor evscuating Sp ing
field Gen. Sweeny plead elcquently
against such a course, declared it would lie
the ruin of the Union cause in that quarter
Of the State, and urged battle as soon as
the enemy were within striking distance.
lie also pointed out the loss of reputation
booth to the general and his officers which
wGulu follow such a step. The counsel de-
cided the course to be pursued, and Thurs
day, when the brigade quartermaster ir-
quired when we were to leave Spring feld,
Gen. Lyon replied, " Not before we are
whipped" This was the proper course to
pursue. If he retreated without a battle,
he would certainly have been pursued by a
boaStiu! and unpunished enemy, ana very
likely have his retreat entirely cnt of -

him, was leaving himself and command at

retreat, but locking at lis injurious effects
upon his own cause and the encouragement
it would give the enemy, he determined to
make desperate stand His appeals for
reinforcement had been disregarded or
treated as idle, and he took the risk of de
feat He was sacrificed, his command
beaten, Union repulse heraled, and the
country lost one of its bravest and most
able Officers The battle of Manassas was
lost, by hurrying our army, under incom-
piten;: Officers, upon the superior numbers
of the enemy. We were driven from
Springfield because of tardy action on the
part of the same official power, in not fur
nishing good officers with competent force
and equipment. in a remote and exposed To-
State Register.
