BEFORE RICHMOND.

We have late private advices from our
army before Richmond. In spite of its
heavy losses by sickness, privation, and
combat, it is to-day the strongest and
most effective army ever yet assembled
on this continent-much stronger even
in numbers than is generally supposed.
1t has more and better artillery than any
any other army in the world ever had.
The tremendous, incessant rains of the
last month have converted the Chicka-
hominy rivulet into a river--or rather,
lake-and the whole adjacent region into
miry bog, over and through which can
non and supplies are moved with great
labor and difficulty. But we have rail-
road running from White House Point
(the head of navigation via York River)
across the Chickahoniny into the heart
of our encampments, and the best of cor
duroy roads are being made in every d.
rection. Gen. Mcclellan will soon be
almost independent of the elements,
though drier weather would be very ac-
Iceptable. In fact, there have this week
been two consecutive days without rain,
which is hailed as harbinger of "the
good time coming" 1t will surely come.
If we supposed it necessary to urge the
sending of every spare regiment to Gen.
Mcclellan, we should dwell on this point
but it is not. The Government under
stand the whole matter, and are wide
awake. They do not deem more troops
essential to the reduction Of the Rebel
stronghold, but they are anxious to take
it with the least possible boodshed, and
are hurying forward men to that end
If fifty disciplined and uniformed militia
regiments were tomorrow to offer them
selves for three months service, we feel
confident that all would be promptly ac-
cepted. And every such regiment, if
stationed in Maryland or around Wash
ington, would liberate one better drilled
and Injured to camp life to go forward to
the scene of actual combat.
Yet little while longer must the sword
and the bayonet write in letters cf fire
fresh heroic page in the annals of the
American Republic. Then cometh well
come peace.

The prospectus-which we presume he

character somewhat of the old Pennsyl-

Rebellion as long as it dared, finally
fell victim to the same influence
that changed the sentiments of the Nev

Daily Neavs, and has given a notoriety to
a few lesser lights of treason in the inte-
rior. We are told in this prospectus that
"the true Union party of the day is un-

This Tom Florence must think that the

Florence, the tool and fool of the "old

paper, the Southern Monitor, which made
1t particular labor to abuse the North,

must have the same love for their South

Let it be noticed and remembered that
the expenses of the first year of the Ad-
ministration Of Abraham Lincoln, aside
from those growing out of our military
operations, were not as large by eight
millions Of dollars as those under the Ad-
ministration of Jas. Buchanan for the
same time
Let it also be noticed and remembered
that the cause of the enormous expenses
growing out of these military operations,
can be directly traced to the "Den,o-
cratic" party and the administration of
Jas Buchanan.

Since Fremont's unprecedented march
of one hundred miles, over several spurs
of mountains, with 10000 men, in one
week, he has been constantly on the track
of the Rebel General, Jackson, who has
invariably fallen back at every encounter.
The last was on Sunday of last week.
Letter-writers say, "the Rebels fought
wholly under cover, while our troops were
forced 10 advance through open fields.
The enemys advantages of position and
numbers were all countcrbalanced by Gen.
FREMoNT's skillful handling of his troops,
and the coelness and determination with
which he pressed his success" The fol-
lowing is his own modest account of the
days operations
JUNE So P. M.
To the Hon Edwin NJ. Stanton
The army left Harrisonburg at 6 o'clock
this morning, and at half-past my
advance engaged the Rebels, about seven
miles from that place, near Union Church.
The enemy were very advantageously
posted in the timber, having chosen his
own position, forming smaller circle than
our own, and with his troops formed in
masses. 1t consisted undoubtedly of j ack-
sons entire force. The battle began with
heavy firing at IL, and continued nutil 4
in the afternoon-some skirmishing and
artillery firing was kept up from that time
until dark. Our troops fought under the
murderous fire of greatly superior num-
bers small arm fire being on the left
wing, which was held by Gen. Stahl's
brigade, consisting of five regiments.
Bayonet and canister shot were used freely
with great effect by our men. The loss
on both sides is great, and ours is heavy
amongthe officers. A full report of those
who distinguished themselves will be
made without partiality. [ desire to say
that both officers and men behaved with
splendid gallantry. and that the service of
the artillery was especially admirable.
We are encamped on the field of battle,
which may be renewed at any moment.

Friday of last week, the advance OF
Gen. Fremont's force overlook part OF
Jackson's Rebels at Harrisonburo, and
after severe contest routed them. Our
Col. Wyn dham, and 1t. Col. Kane, of
the Bucktails, were taken prisoners, and
we lost other good men, but the Rebels
had the worst of it.

with Fremont's force.

The law further declares that this tax
''shall be assessed and laid on the value Of
all lands and lots Of ground, with their i'm.
provements and dwelling houses, at the rate
each of them is worth in money on the first
day of April, 1862" There is a provi-
sion, however, in the law which allows the
States and Territories to assume the pay
ment OF the amount proportional to shem
respectively, in which case a deduction Of
fifteen per cent. is allowed.
The Minnesota Legislature, having voted
that the State shall assume the collection
of the tax, has levied a poll tax. in addition
to the tax on real estate, for the purpose Of
making up the quota Of the State. 1t has
been suggested that this might be illegal 10
view of the requirements of the act that
the tax should be levied on real estate, but
the provision allowing the States to assume
the amount, gives them the right to collect
it 10 such manner as they may deem best.

F1RE-INcEND1AR1sM.-A fire was dis
covered about o'clock yesterday morning,
in an unoccupied two~story frame building
on jackson street, near the corner of Pearl,
which was consumed together with two
adjoining buildings, that we're occupied, one
by Mr.. Smith, the other by MIR. Lowe.
The fire was evidently the work of an in
cendiary, being kindled close to the roof of
the attic. The Minnehaha and Hope En-.
CINE Companies were on hand but could get
no water. The indetatigable efforts of Lot
Motif, aided by other citizens, prevented a
further spread of the flames. The loss is
estimated at $4,000. The uneccupied
house was owned by Lyman Day ton, and
was Insured for 81 900. The tenants of the
other houses were the owners. Mr.. Lowe
had $500, and Mr.. Smith 500 insurance.
