military genius. It does not need argument now
to prove that his plans n the West were all wise
" and skilfully laid, though he was cut off from
carrying then out, but subsequent events have
fully attested Their wisdom and prudence, and
his late rapid exploits g The Shenandoah valley,
still fresh ID the recollection Of the people, have
amply and abundantly demonstrated his effcien-
cy upon the field.
We do not believe, however, that with all his
splendid military qualities, and great personal
popularity with the people, and The army, his
services viii long be dispensed within this crisis.
His being relieved at his owl request, from the
command to which the War Department assign
ed him, does not lower his rank or deprive him
OF it. He is still. next to Gen. Mcclellan, the
highest officer in the United States army, and it
is not at all probable that the President will per-
NIT him to remain long without a command.

The Tax Bill.

We give upon our outside page this week, a
synopsis of the schedule of the National Tax
Bill. as finally agreed upon by the two Houses
of Congress. The list is tolerably full, and is
probably as accurate as can be given before the
bill is officially before the public. .aoe
The taxes imposed are of the following differ
ent classes, viz: '-''
sFirst-A tax on persons and corporations en-
gagged in certain pursuits, for licenses.
SeconG-A tax on manufactured articles, pro.
ducts, &C., to be paid by the manufacturer or
producer when he sells such articles or pro-
ducts. "a
Third-A duty on INCOMES of individuals,
railroad and steamboat companies, public off.
GERS and others.
| Fourth-Duties to be paid for stamps, which
the bill requires to be affixed to certain papers,
medicines, documents, &c.
The Bill provides also for a new Bureau in
the Treasury Department, to be called the De-
partnent of Internal Revenue. The President
will divide the States into collective districts
which shall not exceed, and will probably cor
respond with, the congressional districts in each
state, and will appoint in each district Collect
or and an Assessor The Collector will appoint
as many deputies as he may need, to be paid by
himself: The pay of the Collector is four pei
cent. on any amount collected less than one
| thousand dollars and one per cent. on all over
that, with a necessary allowance for stationery,
&C., the compensation, however, not to exceed
$4,000. The Assessor prepares the list Of
persons and things to be taxed; his compensa
ton to be SO per day when engaged in prepare
'tion, and S. per day when in actual perform
ance of his duties as Assessor, with commits:
sion of 81 for each hundred names on the tax
list. Assistant Assessors, appointed by the As
SCISSOR, shall be paid So per day, and a like
commission. u1ss a. e..7is
After the lists are made out by the Assistant
Assessors, fifteen days are allowed in which to
appeal to the Assessor for any erroneous valua-
ton at the expiration Of which time, the lists
60 to the Collector, who Immediately advertises
the place where the taxes can be paid, and if
payment is not made within ten days thereafter,
then ten per cent. shall be added to the amount.
Full power is given the Collector to enter manu-
factories where taxable articles are made, to dis
train for taxes and to sell real estate and there
is dne Of $500 for forcibly hindering or OBJ
structing Collector in his duty, or rescuing
property which he has seized. sa ssa' aaL h

Collector is held tothe strictest accountability,

CoMPARIsoNs.-H is useless to deny that the
masses of the people have q deep-seated and
settled confidence in q SarsaparilLa," as an al
terativd remedy. Notwithstanding this coni-
dence has of late years been abused by many
preparations claiming to possess its virtue, but
really with none at all, still the people believe
| in its intrinsic value as a remedy, because they
have known of its cures. The rage for large
bottles at low prices, has called into market ma
my compounds of Sarsaparilla which contain
scarcely any of it, or even any medical virtues
whatever. Yet everybody knows that Sarsapa-
i,rlla is the great staple antidote for Scrofnla,
Eruptions and Cutaneous Diseases, and for the
publication Of the blood when they can get the
real article, or an actual extract Of it. Such wc
are now able to inform them they can obtain.
DR.. ]. G.. Aver & Co., the celebrated chemists Of
the East, whose reputation assures us they do
well whatever they undertake, are selling q
Compound Extract of Sarsaparilla, which, al
though the bottles do not contain quarts, for q
dollar, do contain more, of actual curative power
than whole gallons of the stuffs which have been
in use. Tits asserted that one bottle Of Ayers
Sarsaparlla contains more than double the
amount of medical virtue, which IS afforded by
any other. This fact is not only apparent to tho
taste, but its effects and cures afford incontcst-
BILE proof that it is true. Such remedy has
been long sought for, and is everywhere needed
by all classes Of our eommunity.-Age, Ctwttt
