WONDERFUL DISCOVERY.

The opponents Of the new constitution say
they cannot find, anywhere in that instru,
ment that the two-mil tax is prohibited -
OF course they cannot. The present constI-
tuition expressly compeis the assessment OF
thu; tax, and the only way to get rid of it is
to adopt the new constitution, which does not
compel It's assessment. 1t was only necessary
to omit that clause to be rid Of the tax for
ever. The subject Of taxation will hereafter
be left to the people through their geprcsen-
tatiyes in the general assembly.
Under the present constitution tins two
mill tax il required to De collected every
year, and boarded up to pay state indebted.
ness Il is not needed for that purpose, and
the constitution prohibits its use for any other
purpose. The only way to get rid Of paying
this heavy tax, not cent Of which is wanted,
is to adopt the new constitution.

There is true moral sublimity in the att
tude Of the brave young general before Rich
mOnd. His seventh general order, after ht
WIS summoned to the command Of the de
morazed aud panic-stricken army OF
the Potomac, was II call for weekly
rest and worship. 1t reads. "One days rest
in seven is necessary for men and animals
more that this, the observance Of the holy
day of the God of mercy and Of battle is our
sacred duty" That order was worth hun
drcd thousand men. 1t inspired the army
with respect for their leader, who thus consul
ted their comfort and their dearest rights
and 1t gave animation to the faith and hope
Of u people whose armies had suffered Icpea.
ted defeats in Sunday battles.
Gen. Mcclellan had the good sense and pi-
ETY. to recognize and evoke the moral elements
in the conflict, and in the soldiery and pco-
