THE EyAcUATioN OF ALEXANDRIA.

Although the city of Alexandria was of CON-
p~ratively little Importance to Virginia. and
strategieally indsfensible, still the evacuation
| of il by our forces and the ease with which it
was captured has had an unfortunate effect
upon our course. and one which we trust our
energetic Chief Magistrate will hasten to re-
mote.
Tie TAR feeling at the NORTH had already
greatly subsiled and it Was becoming exceed
ingly difficult for the Federal Administration
10 bring forward tire number of men they had
counted upon: Some Of those regiments al
ready in the field were preparing to return
konte their term of enlistment having already
expired, While froti other regiment, desertions
@e.e oceIrrtEg daily. by the hundreds. of such
men as we're unwilling to serve out term of
three or even one year. which they had every
reason to believe would be the least limit Of
the present war, judging from the resistance
which they expected to encounter .st siery
step they might take upon soHtherI sdil.
When; therefore; the very first attempt (which
is made is unresisted by the Southern troops,
and when they see those very troops. whom
they had best led TO believe would all sacrifice
their lives before they would retire from the
field, fleeing before them, the effect was great.
A new impetus was given to their actions. The
excitementfor war again received fresh start
and recruits are now freely Offering ,hep.slyes

There were about three hundred more re.
turns made this year than were last This is
accounted for by the fact that our last Legis.
iature taxed money at interest. and that EN-
braced a large number of tax payers who had
'heir Whole estate invested in that way, as will
De seen by reference 10 the statistical tables
Over one and half million of money at inter.
est is returned. In our debit Bank and Rail.
road stocks of our State are not taxed conse
quentiy am unable to say precisely what
amount The people Of the District have inv vested
in stocks Of that kind Think, howe9sr, can
safely assume 1t TO he some Four Hundred and
Fifty Thousand Dollars, which will make a.,
least Two Millions Of Dollars Of cash on apia.
As will be scrt. the tax payers of Abbeville
have paid S38T31.37 State~taxes, S5 O51. 80
poor tax. dnd 80 352 80 road. making the grand
total Of 45. 1868. This sum has been collec.
ted within the last fen weeks. It has been me,
promptly and cheerfully, andtI believe when
the people are called on to contribute to the
relief of tho families of our brave volunteers
they will respond again in contributions to at
least $4,000 more. 6As a plan is on foot for
raising funds fOr<rhat purpose, would just
here make few suggestions: That there be a
collector appointed for each Battalion, Il have
no doubt that competeHt men will volunteer TO
discharge the daty) let them prepare their hooks
for the purpose, enter the name of every ia.
payer, in alphabetical order. and request the
tai payers to pay at least 10 per cent on their
last tat rettrn. This of course is regarded as
voluntary. Copy their returns with the utmost
care in a .book ,spnd fle the same in the Clerks
office FIR future rsfetence, and also enter the
names of any non tax payers who wish to CON
