in confirmation Of the report that serious

There is now but little chance to doubt the
truth of the recent reports, that Generals Sigel
and Mcdowell had serious alteration on the

ing to come from an eye witness of the occur

The reply being very insulting, Sigel resented

The Volksbatt also states that Slgel, dis
guSted with the corruption and netficiency of
the military commanders in the East, will
resign If not relieved from service in that quar-.
ter.
The Rochester IN. " Democrat has the
following testimony to the same effect. 1t
says: " We are told on what seems to be good
authority, that there is letter in this CITY
written by an officer who was an eve witness
OF the circumstances which be describes. stating
that during the fight General Mcdowell took
from his pocket white handkerchief which be
attached TO the end of his sword and waved
aloft as If signalling some one. General Sigel
observing the act, rode up and demanded Nc
Dowell's reason for such conduct. Mcdowell
replied that it was none of bis business, at the

SPEcULATING OFFIcIAL--The following is

egram of October ID:
" The State Treasurer has rendered Assist
ant Treasurer Cheeseman 500. 900 of Federal
tax in " green backs" which Cheeseman refu
ses. He has telegraphed to Washington for
instructions"
As the Supreme Court decided that demand
notes f. green backs y were not receivable for
taxes, and as they have been sold in the mar
ket as low as eighty cents, it is fair to presume
that our Republican State Treasurer, is buy
ing them up for the purpose of paying the
States quota Of the Federal tax. A nice
speculation for patriotic Republcanism. If
so, he ought to become the guest of General

Rumor of Peace.

Among the items of Eastern news Is one TO
the effect that, commissioners from the rebel
Congress are on their way to Washington to
propose terms of peace. The authority for
this statement is the Washington eorrespon-
dent of the Philadelphia Enquirer According
TO this correspondent, the following are the
terms to be proposed:
The loyal States to take all Territories.
Mississippi, Tennessee, Kentucky and Mary
land, and make them free or slave, as may best
please them: the cotton States to have Con
gress Of their own TO regulate their own do
nestle affairs only-in all other things to be
again as one inseparabis people; defensive
and offensive operations against other coun-
tries to be in unity; the postage and revenue
service to be the same as heretofore. They
pledge themselves to return all Government
property as they found it. They. in addition
to having a separate Congress to regulate
their peculiar Institutions, are TO be permitted
TO have Senators aud Representatives in our
Congress IN such numbers as their white pon-
ulation entities them to-
I is hardly necessary to discredit this report.
Il is sach that. if made in good faith Govern.
ment could not accept it Ii made at all. it is
only WITH a view TO gain advantage by the de-
lay its consideration will occasion. The rebel
army at Winchester is in 4 vice, aud a propo
sition for peace, in our view, is only made for
the purpose of securing their relief The ex-
pulsion of the rebel army from Maryland, was
not sufficiently serious injury 10 bring out
such proposition from them. As heartily as
a peace consummation is TO be desired. We
have no faith in this rumor. Its genuineness
can only be sustained upon the presumption
that the recent advance Of the rebels was made
only with view of securing the best possible
terms of peace If made in good faith on their
part, the radicals who have recently assumed
control OF affairs, would hardly entertain such
a proposition. Still, if proposition for peace
be made in good faith, We hope il will be duly
entertained and considered and that negotia.
tions may lead to unity and lasting peace.

-NO''ou 'S' VI Tue act Oi congress, PROVIDES
that the State may assume and pay the tax
and that in such case, fifteen per cent. NAV be
deducted therefrom, if paid prior to the first
day Of June. and ten per cent if paid prior to
the last day of September, in the year to
which such payment relates.
The Legislature of California, at its last ses-
sion' patriotically assumed the collection and
payment Of this direct Federal tax. and for
this purpose, by an act approved April -
1862, levied an annual ad raloreyq tax. Of
fifteen cents upon each one hundred dollars in
value Of all the property in this State liable
to taxation for State and county purposes. In
addition to this, the same act of the Legisla-
ture, levied poll tax of two dollars also
for the payment Of said quota," upon each
male inhabitant Of the State, of the age of
twenty-oue and upwards, except California In
dians," The act OF the Legislature provided
for the prompt levylng Of the ad raiorsn tax
Of fifteen cents, by requiring the Supervisors
of those counties. where the assessments for
State and county purposes had already been
been made to add the said Gd ralorern Federal
tax to the amount levied for State and county
purposes, prior to the 18th day of April, 1862.
1t will thus be seen that the State promptly
assumed the collection and payment Of Califor-
MAS quota of the Federal tax, and that tax is
DOW being paid TO the State authorities, in ac.
cordance with the act of the last Legislature.
