To THE TAx-PAYERs.-Id desire to call the at

nual tax list for this district under the internal
revenue act is now in the hands of the collector.

teenth until the twenty seventh of this month, in
the manner and at the places stated in the adj
vertsement to be found in another coumn.
The monthly lists containing the manufacture
ers' tax &c. for September and October are also
in the hands of the collector, and are now due
and payable at the same places as the annual
tax. The law provides that ten per cent shall
be added to all taxes which are not paid within
the time specified in the nineteenth section of
said law. 1t therefore becomes important for
every tax payer to understand the time and
place OF payment, and to see to it that he is not
delinquent in the matter. Every effort has been
made TO give thorough notice, still it is great
ly 10 re feared that many persons may fail
to get the information in season, and thus
be subjected to the additional ten per cent
therefore earnestly ask every tax payer to read
carefully the advertisement in another column of

HEADQUARTERS OF THE ARMY OF THE Po-
ToMAC, Dec 70 EreHng-At ten O'Clock this
morning the fog began to clear away, but before
eleven the air was again thick, which con tuued
until two, when it entirely disappeared. At
quarter past two the rebels opened with all their
guns posted on the first ridge of hills. Their
main fire WAS directed upon the city, which was
filled with our hoops. Those guns which were
posted on the left Of the ridge, were opened on
the large boiy Of troops which crossed on the
two lower bridges and had formed in line of bat
tie and were moving obliquely down the river,
fronting the Ma>SaponaX creek Although sew
eral of their shells exploded over our troops
none were injured.
Gen. Bayard's cavalry, which crossed on the
lower bridge, had five men killed while endeav-
oring to ascertain the enemy'S position The
troops which crossed below are sleeping on their
arms tonight; the advance being within three
quarters of a mile of Massaponax creek, their
left resting on the Rappahanuock. The enemy
occupy the opposite side of the creek in force.
The guns posted on the bank this side of the
river silenced the enemy's artillery, after duel
day.
The only damage done by the rebel shells
thrown into the city was to add so much to it's
destruction. Twenty-Five of our men were killed
last night in the streets of the city, while driving
the rebels out. Nearly every house in the city
has been damaged more Or less by the firing of
the past two days Several splendid residences
have been completely riddled, as also all the
churches. The fire appeared 10 be directed on
the most prominent edifces.
Several cases of wanton destruction of prop
erty occurred by our troops when they entered
property which could be of no use to tie enemy.
In many houses the furniture all remained, show
ing that the occupants left 10 haste. Some of our
troops mistook the British flag for secesh rag,
and tore it from the residence of the British con-
sui. This morning the owner came over to re-
cover it, and it was returned to him.
The main body of the army is now over the
river, the balance being in position to cross at
any time There are no indications that the en-
envy are evacuating. If they remain, battle
