Correspondence Of the Chicago Tribune-1
CAssvnLK, NO., June IS, 1882
Yesterday full company Of Arkansas
volunteers came into this place, and was
sworn Into the service, by Brigadier General
White, as 3 part Of the first regiment of
Arkansas volunteers, now being raised by
Capt. Harrison, By authority Of the War De-
pa1tment, in this place.
The conscription act is being vigorously and
with extreme 1igor enforced In all parts Of
Northern Arkansas, where; the various uno1-
ganized bands Of secesh can reach with safety
to themselves.
+: This new regiment Of dragons viii be a
great success, as those who are now rapidly
filling its ranks are those who were willing to
remain at home as long as they could, but
when compelled to take sides, they rush by
hundreds to the federal ontposts and ask to
be supplied with the means to drive these
disturbers Of their peace from the State.
Gen. White assured me to-day that some Of
the most respectable aud wealthy ladies' in
the State had, in the 1ast few days, appealed
to him for aid, being sent by their h1sbands
near hundred miles through by-ways, to
bring the different companies and squsds out
where they can properly arm aud organize.
Gen. White promptl sent four columns Of
cavalry On parallel lines to penetrate that
State for near hundred miles and open up all
the roads, 60 that all destrous OF escaping
could do 80. They have not yet returned,
and ne expect they viii have q lively time
before they get back. and will bring good1y

latter are bound to defend and obey it. The
former to protect and secure them in all
their lawful rights. But where the ci'izen
refuses to obey the requirements Of the
constitution, refuses to uphold the author
ity Of the government and undertakes to
subyert them, he has put himself beyond
the pale Of the protection to which he was
entitled while loyal to the constitution. lie
can no longer claim its privileges and Eouu-
ties. He has become an enemy and out

is to scourge him into submission, and the

The Fleet Below.

II 4o41 tAV s4tAso41ks [ll1Lel3 G3LA+I
There is no doubt but that the entire fleet
Of gun and mortar boats is now united below
the city. 4 number Of additional arrivals
from below have been noticed for the last Two
days. Yesterday evening the entire fleet in
sight consisted of twenty tive gun and mortar
boats and number Of transports. About
dusk one Of the transports came up above the
gunboats aud landed opposite Brown and
Johnson's s. place. It was supposed that she
was landing troops on the Louisiana shore,
but we don't think that she wus thus engaged,
as she did not stop long enough to diseinbark
any great number Of troops. The entire fleet
low IL sight presents the appearance OF a
good sized vessel in the bend Of the river.
Considerable commotion is kept up among
them constantly, and al eas1y movement Is
generally looked for.

steamer was observed coming down las

the IaZoo river. It was pronounced br q

Is the President afraid Of the rebels? This
is the question suggested By the recent order
from the War Department., prohibiting the
shooting Of rebel prisoners caught in arms
By Our troops, without his direct sanction.
This order Il enforced, Will completely nnl1ify
Gen. Schofeld's excellent order, ordering the
shooting of guerrillas without form or cere-
mony. The effect OF the Presidents action
will certainly encourage guerrilla warfare in
this State, and 1t is believed In this city that
this prohlbitory order Was the main cause OF
the rising of the guerillas reported in North
ezn Missouri who attacked the State troops at
Monticello LAST week. While Gen. Schofeld's
mandate remained in force, these ZOO guerril-
las remained at home. They feared the
prompt execution Of the order to shoot them
down like dogs, but when they learned thst

0FFIcERs-UNDER TIE NEW TAX

An analysis cf the neH tax bill shows
that the Offices under 1t will not be IS
lucrative SIS has been generally supposed.
One assessor and collector are to be ap-
pointed for each congressional district by
the president, by and With the ADVICE and
consent Of the Senate. They appoint their
deputies for the Eatious counties Of their
district, the members Of Congress having
nothing 10 do with it at ali; and will be
controlled in their selections, We suppose,
By qualifications, and the manifestations Of
public opinion Of the various localities
Thepay ofthe district assessor is three dol:
lars per day, except when hearing appeals,
when the pay is FIVE dollars per day. He
receives also in addition one dollar for
every hundred names On the duplicate be
prepares and delivers to the district col
lector.
The district collector receives four per
cent. On the first 100000 collected in his
district, and two per cent. on all over that
amount There is maximum, that no
collector shall receive over $40 900 for him
self and all his deputies in any district.
But, in our Western rural districts, there
being no taxes or lands OF town lots, OF
houses, or cattle, or grain, or incomes less
than $500 per year, there is not much pro-
liability that the aggregate fees Of 8 col
lector and his deputies Will amount to any
thing like that sum.
The district collector is responsible On
his bond for all Of his deputies, and makes
such arrangements as to compensation
with them SIS be pleases. It is quite evi,
dent from the bill, that he cannot allow
them over two per cent. on what they col.
1cct; as that would leave him for his re.
snonslhility and labor, just $4,000 il
100000 were collected in the district, and
no more # a million were collected.
Tic deputy assessors receive three dol
lars per day for the time actually employed
