cseea1y north Of i1iie ts Biz Muddy aud the:
men now serving under Grant and Palrnet,
would be valuable acquisition to the Feder
nj forces NOW In the field: ::
Secession gabble continued to be Of the
most amusing kind. The, Nseqta'sa sas md the
about The annihiiatlon OF .severd thousand
Federal troops, furnish 8 retIeahing cool
specimen Of secession fs1sebood for thH warm
weather. Col. si9el and Gen. Lyon have
BEEN cut to pieces not less ths1 nine times
during the past week, and Birds Point has
been in the 1ebe1s' possession at least tWlce
aeeorGiEg to ouf Yefacfpus extras.
One Of the Interior secession Journals has
nominated Waib. Jackeon- ~ :.e.election In
November at the time appointed BY the State
Convention. ibis is a Implied recognition Of
. the acts Of the Convention t1 deposing the fu-
gitive Governor. His nomination and reelcc-
ticn under the circumstances would be void,
but luckily the Union element in Missouri ck
not OF, the baser sort which yields to every
passing secession breeze
ItHas slated in dispatch from Jefferson
City that the Missouri River and Western Tai
egraph Company had commenced removing
their wires west Of that eaty Matn view to
the troublesome district. Since then, however,
the pregr ANNE has beeu changed, and the tel.
eg1aFh y Ill be rebuilt and repaired, aud guard'
ed by troops, with orders to shoot the first
man who molestB It.
We have q local election to day which is o.
some importance to Union people. Two
Judges Of the County Court, are to be
elected in districts which gave oRly Email
Union msjorfties In February, aud which 1t Il
| now feared may return secession candidates
in which event the control Of county aH4ir;
passes into the hands Of secessaionists. If tht
Union men elect one Of the two ne are safe
if ne elect both then the County Court is Il
our hands for six yesrs. a clerk Of the Law
| Commissioners Court is also to be elected, fo
| which half dozen Union candidates are run
| ming against one tssecesher.n It is fearei

/ 1atter may slip in.
The weather is terribly hot At noon yes

with the heat here is that it is quite as hot !

lLLIk0xS F4NANCE8-THE NEW
STATE LOAN.

2GkAzhNAS F&NAhEB8~TaE F&TH
i STATE LOAN.
By an act Of the Legislature Of the State
Of Illinois, PASSED at the extra session last
Spring, and approved May I'd, 1851; the
Gorcrncr, Auditor and Treasurer were
authorized to contract = six per cent loan,
a9d issz4*l1tzs77a for two millions
'a---hE1s. The loan thus authorized, or
So much ofit as may be necessary, is to be
used to suppress The rebellion in the So
called seeding States-and as such it Is
strictly within the limits Of the Constitu-
ton. The authority to pass such laws is
contained in Art 8, Sec. 81; and by that
clause Of the Constitution the Legislature
is expressly prohibited from contracting q
permanent debt except for war purposes.
This wise provision of the Constitution Is
ore Of the strongest guarantees to the
sounduess Of the financial policy of the
State. Under It and the clause under which
the two mill tx is collected and applied
to The payment of. tie principal Of the
State debt, while le5ghboring States have
beeE 1oaning their credit to railways, ane
becoming nearly bankrupt, the debt of I'LL
NOS, not including the canal debt ior tht
liquidation Of which the resources Of ths
canal are abundant, has been reduced from
about $17,ooo,to0 in 1850, as. shown b.
The report Of the Senate Finance Commit
tee, Nov. 80, 1850, to $1o,s4s, ,o17.os. Til
Subsequent payments Of Jan. 1, 1861, mus
have reduced IT. in round numbers, t
about ten millions Of dollars.
The vaine Of the new issue Of two mi
lions Of dollars depends upon the preser
Indebtedness Of the State, and its means {
paying The interest md principal, and Ii
additional sum authorized for war purp,
ses. The whole, exclusive Of Tie cam
debt, will be about s12 poo, 900. The can,
debt for the paymentof which that pr,
perty and its revenues are pledged, Il

above referred to, was, on the soth Of N

Correspondence Of the Chicago Tribune1
WAsHEGTos, August 8, 1861.
At length the signs Of IN early and welcome
adjournment Of the extra session of Congress
become clear and unmistakable. The CREST
meGsure Of the session-that which cllnches
ard renders practically effectfTean other meas
ures-has passed both houses. ! refer to the
Tax and Tariff bill, both alluded to In former
letters, and which have been combined into
one act by the Committee Of Conference,
whose business 1t has been to reconcile differ
encss and perfect the measure. The proyis-
ions Of this extremely important act may be
briefly stated in this form, since no copy Of
the act as finally passed is yet printed, aHd
probably will not be for two or three days:
l. The $20,00o. 600 direct tax, apportioned
among all the States, Is unchanged from the
form in Which it passed the House. Its con
dit1ons are that in case OF the failure Of any
State to assume and collect the tax, the Gen
era1 Government shall levy the quota belong
ing to such State upon real estate and proceed
to collect 1t. The States are privileged to col
1ect it themselves, either upon real estate, or
upon tie total valuation Of property, as in
collecting their own revenues. For such COL
lection they are to receivea discount Of Is per
cent. on their quota, if paid before the 30th Of
June, 1862. The tax is to run from the LIST
day Of april, 1861, to April I, 1852, and the
valuation is to be the market value Of the land
DC, on the latter day, OF at the time of the
| State valuation nearest thereto. This is on
| the supposition tha: the General Government
has to collect (which, however, will not be
likely to happen in more than few cases,
since the States are privileged, besides the re-
duction OF Is per cent, to offset any claims
they hold against the General Government for
raising and equipping volunteers 1or army
service or claims Of any other nature. And;
ss the tax will by no means be so burdensome
IS has been represented, and is, moreover, one
Of apparent absolute necessity for maintaining
the credit Of the Government by pledge OF
specific revenue to meet interest, the States
should come up to the work Of sustaining It
