The New Stamp Duties.

The law in relation to stamp duties
under the act Of internal revenue, went
into operation on the LIST instant. The
law requires the following articles to be
stamped
For a. bank check or sight draft for an
amount exceeding twenty dollars, two
cent stamp will be required; and for a
promissory note or draft (other than
those on sighD, stamps Of various
amounts, from five cents upwards are
required a certificate of stock in an
incorporated company, twenty five cent
stamp; power Of attorney, twenty five
cents a passage ticket TO a foreign port
fifty cents to one dollar, merchants and
shippers have to pay stamp duties Of
from ten cents to one dollar on bills of
lading, manifests for entry of clearance,
certificate of damage, entry of goods at
custom house, &c; for a protest of note
or marine protest, the stamp duty is
twenty-five cents; on a deed of grant.
from fifty cents upwards; a lease, fifty
cents to one dollar; a protest TWEEN
ty five cents; and for a policy of

twenty live cents to one dollar added to
its cost in the way of a stamp tele-
graphic dispatches are taxed from one 10
three cents each; bonds and mortgages

There are heavy penalties for making,

ITEMS OF LEXINGTON NEws.-The Lex
ingtOn Observer and Reporter was issued
again on Thursday, which is the first
issue Of the paper that has been made since
the battle of Richmond, Ky, on the 3Oth
Of August. We find in the columns the
following paragraphs
AS to The state Of feeling entertained
and exhibited by Humphrey Marshalls
ragamulfins we need only refer TO the
fact that one Of them, Just before they
skeddadled, said TO farmer near whose
house they were quartered-"I am FRI m
Virginia, and we intend to stay in Ken
lucky until We ruin it--ruin it as Virgil
mia is ruined.
This ruiiian doubtless was fair speci-
men of the men composing the bare
foot army Of which he was, perhaps an
hOnored member, for he talked like a
man Of intelligence, says our informant,
and seemed to understand fully the
meaning Of words. The miserable crea-
ture, after being misled himself, was not
willing TO pause with his own degrade
ton, but would, If ia his power, drag al
others down to bis own standard. II
Virginia Is desolated so let Kentucky be
$50 all her sister States. This is the
rebel sentiment.

An intelligent correspondent Of the
CINCINNATI Commercial advances some
views with regard TO the battle az Perry
Vile, which will no doubt surprise the
public. The writer processes TO say
anthoritaiively that that battle was
fought contrary to Buelrs orders, and
that its precipitate occurrence defeated
his great plan of effectually cutting off
Braggs retreat before compelling him 10
fight:
So far from being the development Of
BuelPs plans, the battle of Perryville
was the Illustration of them. It was re-
ported at headquarters on the 9TH, that
the enemy was in force at Perryville.
The three army corps were then march
ing on that place by different roads.
General Buell. determined to surround the
rebels if possible, aud ordered all the
divisions to march without delay, leav-
ing their transportation behind. Nc
Cook and Gilbert continued their march,
but Crittenden's corps lost half day
on a circuitOus route to obtain water.
1t was not General BuelPs intention that
McOOOk should attack the rebels, or that
McCOok and Gilbert should do so, but
that the entire army should participate
in the fight. But Bragg was too quick
for him. lie heard first that the Union
forces were about to overwhelm him
unitedly, and Immediately began his re-
treat for Perryville. He afterwards
learned that McCOOk and Gilbert were on
the road, and that Crittenden was not
within supporting distance. Here then
was q chance for him to make a dash
upon two corps, defeat them, if possible,
and afterwards fall upon the third--if
not, TO get away before the arrival of the
third-Hardee's corps had retreated six
miles, when it was ordered back to Per-
ryville on the double quick. McCook
found himself in front of the rebel line
Of battle, with his men marching in
column--no skirmishers out--nothing in
front but small advance guard, which
tOolishly attempted an attack upon the
rebel videttes. The rebel infantry
rushed upon McCool1, and division of
green troops had to be formed in line of
DalJie unuer HeaFy uIe' Ahe natuIhl
result was a stampede.
There seems to have been, on the part |
of the corps commanders, lack of that |
concert of action and knowledge of one |
another's positions so necessary TO the
successful development Of a planOf bat
tie. When Crittenden's men came up on
the evening of the 9Th, they were placed
on the right Smiths division arrived
first and was stationed on the extreme
right then came Van Cleave's to the left
of Smiths, then Woods to the left of
Van Cleave's, and to the right of Gill
beIts corps--so that during the three or
four hours intervening between the ar
rival of Smith and Wood, there was a
gap of several miles in our line, of which
IL is a wonder the rebels took no advant-
age. General Wood was ordered TO join
right, but General Crittenden
could not tell him where Gilbert's right |
andwhen he sent his aids to
were it was, they found the
rebels endeavoring to turn it. A brigade
Of General Woods division saved as least
D portion of Gilbert's corps.

REBEL HoPEsI AND FEARs.-The rebels
had great hopes that their summer cam
paign would be successful because their
ally, King Yellow Fever, would come to
their aid, and because the low water in
the Southern rivers would prevent our
gunboats from being ofany great service.
Their hopes in regard to the gunboats
were not disappointed, though our armies
have done all that gunboats could do
but General Butler kept the yellow fever
and every other nuisance out of New Or
leans, and in other parts of the South,
as at Wilmington, North Carolina, the
fever has done the rebels great deal
more harm than il was ever expected to
do us. Now that the cool months of fall
have come, all danger Of yellow fever is
removed, and very soon the Southern
rivers will be navigable for our gunboats.
The canal opposite Vicksburg will now
do its work, and make that pestilent city
an inland town. Our gunboats, which
the rebels so much and so Justly dread,
will not fail to take advantage Of cir-
cumstance and high water, and the rebel
fears will greatly outbalance rebel hopes.

The Mormons are turning their atten-

Deseret NslOs says
Several gentleman who have recently
arrived from Washington county report
that the cotton crop, when they left, was
more promising than expected the fore
part Of the season Much Of it having
been planted late, fears were entertained
that il would not fully mature before il
would be nipped by frost, but the late
warm weather has been very favorable TO
the cotton growers. and a good yield will
be realized where IL has been properly
cultivated. All with whom we have con
versed on the subject are sanguine that
the growing Of cotton in that part Of the
state will be- a success and that next
season a very material increase in the
