A Letter from the Secretary o1 War.
To the Editor ofthe New York Tribune.

To the Editor of the New York Tribune:
SIR-I cannot suffer undue merit to be
ascribed to my official action The glory
of our recent victories belongs to the gal.
liant officers and soldiers that fought the
battles. No share Of it belongs to me.
Much has recently been said of militia.
~ combinations and organising victories.
[ hear such phrases with apprehension
They commenced in in6isl France with
the Italian campaign, and resulted 10
Waterloo. Who can organize victory?
Who can combine the elements of success
on the battle. field? We owe our recent
victories to the Spirit Of the Lord, that
moved our soldiers to, rush into battle,
and filed the hearts of our enemies with
terror and disuay. The inspiration that
conquered in battle WAS in the hearts of
the soldiers, and from on high; aad whsr-
ever there is the same Inspiration there
will be the same results. Patriotic spir.
1t, with rssolute courage in officers and
men, is military combination that never
fails. sss 49, ....st.i 49, -. ~.
We may we'll rojoice at the recent vie
tories, for they teach rs that battles are
to be won now and BY rs In the Same and
ouly manner that they we're ever won BY
any people, or in any age. since the days
of Joshua. by boldly pursuing and strik.

Providence, | conceive to be the true or

County Levy, 1862

IN compliance with the provision dissection
| 4 of Article % of the Code of Public
General Lawssof Maryland, the following
statement of the levy for 1862, to meet the
49, - - = n ,",tp for that year,
is herewith submitted and published W Tnc
direction of the County Commissioners OF
Allegany County:
The whole levy amounts to the aggregate
sum of :S35, 754 &c, for the payment Of which
| forty cents in each hundred dollars, upon the
assessed property in said County, were levied,
which assessment amounts to $8,938, 740 for
| the present year, exceeding that Of the last
year S373,776. The assessment stands at a
higher figure now thar al any previous time
since the general assessment Of 1852. This
large increase is the result OF much pains and
labor on the part of the Commissioners, IN
putting upon the County books property and
persons heretofore unasscsscd. 1t is proper
to state that $4,000 of the above was re-
turned by thc,late Collector. 1t will be seen
that State and County tax Of $2,429, will
be thus secured not before realized.
The per eeatage for 1862 excceetgtaat OF
the previous year six cents in the Hundred
dollars for the County tax. This increase is
owing to the insufficient lcyies Of 1861, Spd
particularly those for The roads, which in,
connection with several lroshcts within the
last nine months have rendered extraordinary
'levies for that purpose absolutely necessary,
The amount appropriated at the late session
for the roads amounts to S. ,430; for 1856 it
was only 81, 847; s 800 were levied for the
use Of the City OF Cumberland i'll accordance
with a long established usage, but this levy
vas withheld from tho city for the last year
o. Two. Had tho latter levy been refused,
nd that for the roads been kept at the
amount of last year, the per centage for the
would have been less than 81
cents in the hundred doilars-which was the
levy for theNycar 1861.
The present levy for the StatetaX is TWEEN
ty-iive cents in the hundred dollars. 1t was |
pnt at that rate by the act of 1862. chapter
