County Levy, 1868.

IN accordance with the provisions OF section
/ Q of Article %, of Code OF fuolic u eherai
Iaws of MARYLAND, the following statement OF
the levy for the year 1898, 10 meet the current
S,apr 10 herewith Submitted and published, by
The direction of the county Commissioners for
Allegany county.
The assessm ent for the present year amounts
IN the sum of 1876, 072 90 being about S200, 900
loss than it was at the last year. This appa-
rent deficiency occurs in this way: The COM
missioner at their April meeting, made a tho
rough overhaulng of the Assessment Books,
and struck off more than 100000 of insolvent
taxabies which had been accumulating for
number of years, and upon which no taxes
realized during that period. More thah
1920, 900 of good taxables have been placed on
the books, within the last year Tor the first time
so. at present, there are very consider aole
more solvent tax payers upon the BOOKS tnah
last year, ard indeed at any previous year Ior
some time. a.,
The Levy for 1888 amounts to the sum
of sss no IL which il consid cradle in excess
of that of 1892 This increase is in consequence
of number of unforeseen and unavoidable lev
les of heavy amounts. For instance the couh-
tv ba, heen owing the school fund, large sum
Of eouey for twenty or twenty-five years, IN
,bo shane of Il loan to build the court house upon
,.rbich debt, the county has baen paying the in
tercst all that period. The School Commits
sioners of the county made demand for S600J
of the claim, which was accordingly aPpropri-
ated. Another item of $4,000 was levied to re-
pair and renew the rad leading from Frostburg
TO Westernport, Il large portion of which was
utterly destroyed by tho great flood of lS6l.-
Double this amount was sternly and unanimous
ly asked for, by the heavy taxpayers of that
region. The large sum of S2,7SO,6l had to be
levied t. meet deficiencies in the expenses OF
Circuit Court for last year the estimate of its
clerk, and levy for said estimate being short
that amount to cover the extraordinary charges
of that year. Other lcvies Of a similar charac'
ter appear in the list which will more than ac
count for this increase in the general levy
The appropriation for .he ordinary and hoatlhs
expenses of the county, being abo.t the same
as last year.
To meet these expenses, the sum Of So cents
on each hundred do lars was levied upon the
assessed property of said county; also the sum
OF 25 cents in tie hundred dollars for the State
tax was levied in accordance with the act OF
1862, chapter 1O5
Tho Undersigned would in conclusion state
that there are now, no extraordinary approprl-
alton, or claims in prospect, all having been
provided for, so that the next general levy
ought not to exceed from $50 900 to So 900.

From New Orlesns.

NEW YORk, September I2.-The World
says, editorially, that at present there is
considerable feeling in New Orleans on the
intervention question, especially among
the French and creole posuIation. This
feeling has been much stimulated by the
latest mail from the North.
1t was known TO the French Consul at
New Orleans and others that the French
had occupied MontamOras with 1000 or
5000 men within q few days. A collision
was anticipated between the French aud
Federal gunboats at the mouth of the Rio
Grande on some matter connected with
cotton and confederate supplies.
The feeling in regard to Intervention
was recently indicated by an advance of
per cent. in confederate bonds.
Ex-Governor MOrehead, of Ky, who is
now in Paris, its is positively alleged, has
written to q friend in New York that Ma.
poleOn snd jeff Davis have formed q secret
Greatly of recognition through the agency
of Slidell.

LOUISVILLE, September 81, liz P. NJ
Not a word from Rosecrans' army to-day.
Reports here of the rebels in considerable

that the engagement between ROsecrans
aud Bragg's armies is still progressing, &c.

lieVe that any very serious disasters have
occurred to Roseerans' army.

master in charge Of forage, was arrested

The --latest from Roseerans.

WASHINGTON, September 2l.-The Ma
tiOnal Republican says the enemy attacked
Rosecrans again on Sunday morning at
8 O'Clock with overwhelming numbers.
The battle ragged iercely all day. Accord
log to the very latest accounts received
here up to two O'Clock this afternoon, which
left Chattanooga at eight o'clock last even
ing, two and only two OF Gen. ROsecraus'
divisions gave way in the panic and con-
fusion, but from 5000 to 10000 Of these
had been rallied and got back to their
places, while the remainder of the army
had not given way or retreated, and at the
latest moment was driving the advance of
the rebel army back. This we know is the
latest news here.
The number of killed and wounded on
both sides will probably not fall short of
10000.

ST. LOUIS, September 2l--On Friday
las the Union newspaper, the semi-Ofieial

and specifications against G. n. GrissOm,
editor of the Union, charging him with
violating SchO6eld's order No. 90, by pub
fishing matter calculated TO embarrass tie
military authorities. HefiIed them with the
AdjutODt General, demanding inVestiga-
ton. Mr.. GrissOm 10 not yet arrested, but
as Capt. Price is not q man to withdraw
charges, it seems that the organ of the
authors is likely to be she first victim.

Foreign News-Arrival of the

NEW YORK, September 21.-The steam
ship Hecla, from Liverpool 9Th and Queens
town 9th, arrived to day.
QueenSt0tVn, September 9.-The cotton
sales to-day reach 10000 bales, including

Breadstuffs firm. Provisions and pro-
duce steady.
London, September 9.-CousoIs closed at

The Morning Post believes there is little
doubt that the two iron rams at Liverpool
will be detained by the Government under
the foreign enlistment act. tits neverthe-
less eontended that they were built to
order for French house under a contract
from the late Pasha of Egypt; but the pres
emit Pasha repudiates the contract. The ac-
cusation is that they are intended for hos
Utilities against friendly power, and a
court of law must decide upon their deten-
ton or release.
The Union and Emancipation Society
are urging the prompt investigation of the
news that the rebel government had re.
solved to call out negroes 1t was received
with distrust. Some regard it, If true, as
confession of weakness by the South, and
others as mastery stroke of policy. The
Daily News says 1t will prove conclusively
that not only the cause is hopeless, but
the leaders know it to be so.
The Morning Post looks on it as a mas
terly piece of policy, giving at once i'm
mense reinforcements and exercising
advantageous moral influence in Europe.

which latter is located near Hanover, about

The defences of Richmond are complete.
The rebel force in Western Virginia is
very small, including Imboden and jack

The rebels have plenty to eat; the star
walton stories are simply absurd.
This informant was in Charleston when
Gilmore bombarded it. One of the shells
struck the spire of ST. Michaeps church,
and all struck within half mile of each
other. They produced the utmost eonster-
nation. The city is nearly deserted and
the place will be destroyed before surren-
dering.

CNclEEATI. September 2l.-Aspeeial to
the Commercial gives the following ac-
count of Saturdays fighting:
The battle opened at IL o'clock in the
vicinity of widow GIenn's, on the road
leading from McLamOro to Chattanooga.
The fighting soon became general. The
enemy maneuVered their troops finely. In
the action the rebels made an impulsive
charge on the famous LOOMS Battery and
captured FIVE out Of the six parrot guns.
Capt. Van Pelt, commanding the battery,
was taken prisoner.
At 2 o'clock the contest was terrific
The roll of musketry was far more con-
tinuous and deafening than that of Stone
river.
at 2 O'Clock and 40 minutes, the divis-
ion on the center, being hard pushed and
broken, retreated in disorder. Capt. Bar
net planted battery and soon checked
the pursuit of the enemy, who in turn
were driven back in disorder over the same
ground.
Davis division was driven back with
heavy LOGS. Every gun Of the 9Th Indiana
battery was captured, when his forces
rallied, pushed the enemy back and FetoOk
the guns.
Reynolds IosE heavily, bat stubbornIy
held his position, driving the enemy, but
never leaving his line. Palmer, who was
overwhelmed, failed to get of his whole
battery and two guns were lost.
Van CleeVe, fighting CALAMITY, lost
ground, was overwhelmed aud failed to
regain his position. Our line was pressed
severely and wavered. The rebels exult-
ant over apparent success made the air re-
sound with cheers. They advanced along
the whole line, when whitening fire of
musketry rolled from right to left.
Until o'clock the fighting was terrific.
The General grew anxious. The wounded
pour in and the rebels steadily move up
near his headquarters. The new forces
were opposed to that, and from this time
till dark the battle ragged with destruc-
tive fury.
At dark, the firing having almost ceased,
the enemy threw forward fresh troops and
again engaged our right. The action then
became general, and until long after dark
ragged with fury.
The battle thus far has been bloody
one. Our loss is very heavy, and prisoners
say some of their regiments have been
almost annihilated. Both armies occupy
the same ground as when the action be-
gan.
We have captured several hundred pris-
oners, many Of whom were from the east.
We took ten guns and lost seven.

B9-As there is frequent inquiry why
the Legislature does not enact law to
prohibit rebel sympathizers from exercis-
ing the right of suffrage, member of the
Senate requests US to publish the follow
ing section of an act passed February g.,
1868:
"Any citizen of this State who shall,
after the passage of this act voluntarily
levy war against the United States or who
shall adhere to the enemies of the same or
give them aid and comfort or who shall by
writing or speaking profess allegiance or
fidelity to the so-called Confederate States
of America, or who shall resist or oppose
by violence or who shall by writing or
speaking instigate others to resist or OPP
pose by violence the government of Vir-
ginia as reorganized by the convention
which assembled at Wheeling on the 11th
day of June, 1868, shall be considered as
having expatriated himself so fir as re-
CARDS this State and shall thencetorth be
deemed no citizen thereof"
In the bill which became a law yester-
day ito provide for the election. to be held
on the 4th Thursday of October, 1868"
there is also a section more stringent than
the above, which will prohibit from voting
many persons who have heretofore exer-
Oised that right.

gD~A PEW nights ago an eccentric old
| gentleman, who resides few miles in tue
country and who is weil known as being
much addicted to going on sprees without
the slightest provocation, was out 10 the
streets in his usually mellow condition.
BE remained out until the tavern at which
he put up closed its doors, and refused to
open them although the old man raped
Justify for a good half hour. Seeing a
light in the IntelIigeneer office. (Which es-
Establishment by the way. is like the gates
of the pit to which bad men are said to go,
always open,) he staggered up stairs and
asked for lodging, A few old papers were
spread upon the floor of the Sanctumfand
the old fellow turned in. At the same
time an employee Of the Office, whose bus
mess requires him to, stay up all night SO
that he may be up early in the morning,
stretched his form out upon the soft side of
writing table and proceeded to WOO Mr..
Morpheus. The old man had scarcely
worked himself into comfortable position
until he was reminded that he had forgot
ten to pray. He got upon his knees with
some difficulty and after making very
loud but incoherent appeal to the throne
of grace, of half hours duration,h he again
turned in. he had not ''lingered in bliss
full repose" for more than fifteen minutes,
and had not taken moro than "forty winks,"
until it occurred to him that he had neg
lected to pray for the army. So he again
got himself in position and devoted another
half hour to the soldiers of the Republic.
Throughout nearly the whole night he
continued thus to remedy various deticien-
cies and oversights in his original suppli-
cation, much to the annoyance of his host,
who, though he believes ia prayer as a
means of grace, thinks that, under certain
circumstances, there may be such thing
as too much of a good thing.
