Zens. Does any man in his senses suppose
for one moment that the Union men OF q
East Tennessee, in all time to come, will
not shoot down these Indians wherever
they find them, and those also who have
had the command of them? We say, slay
them right and left! They take the oath,
only to give them facilities in the work Of
murder and robbery. They are going
through the country notifying their parol-
ed men from Vicksburg that they have
been exchanged, and, under the false pre-
lenses, violating every principal of honor

The Income Tax-ImpOrfant De.
ciSiOn.
The following circular letter to collectors
concerning the collection of the income tax
has just been issued: .... ... 81
WASHINGTON, Nov. 2, 1868.
ION more mature consideration than
has been heretofore given to the ninety
second section of the act of July l, 1862, it
is held that the provisions of that section
relative to the issue of a warrant from this
office are intended to apply to those cases
only where the taxpayer may have so dis
posed OF all his property that the tax can
not be collected without following such
property in the hands of whomsoever it
may be found, through an enforcement OF
tne lien Which is created in favor OF the
Government
section 81 provides no means for the
collection of the tax in cases where the in
come on which the tax is assessed accrued
from professional services, from fixed in
vestments. II the tax could be collected
in any other way than that provided in this
section it might frequently be necessary to
levey upon property in the hands of an
innocent purchaser, while the delinquent
taxpayer is himself in possession of prop
erty which is amply sufficient. to meet the
q nf hn fo~ h1f f-f,pn NA-l, tot Al
terest accrued to him during the previous
year.
ut is provided in section 10, that if the
| annual and other duties shall not be paid
within ten days from and after demand
therefor, it shall be lawful for the Collector
or his deputies to proceed to collect the said
duties or tax by distraint and sale of goods,
chattels, or effects of the persons delinqu-
ent. This provision is a general one, and
may be applied to the collection of the in
come tax without any conflict with the pro-
visions of section 81.
"In all cases of neglect to make pay
ment within the specified time, where the
delinquent is possessed Of sufficient prop
erty other than that exempt from distraint,
| the Collector will therefore proceed to COL
lect the tax in the manner pointed out in
section 10.
1.-THE penalty for neglect to make pay
| ment within the specified time is fixed by
section 81 at five per centum, and the PEN
| atty of ten per centum provided in section
10 cannot be added to the income tax.
eff, in any case, a delinquent shall be
found to have made such a disposition of
his property that the tax cannot be collect
| ed without the enforcement of the lien Gre
ated by section 81, the warrant Of the Com
missioner will be required. In every case
| the collector will certify, under his seal OF
office, to the name and residence of the de-
linquent, to the amount of the tax, to the
fact that the same was duly returned to him
| for collection, that the amount remains I'M
paid for the space of ten days after proper
demand, and that the enforcement OF the
| lien has become necessary.

! THE LATE ADVANCE ON THE Kappa
HANNOCK-BRAvERY OF OUR TROOPS
! A correspondent of the New York Herald
writes from the headquarters of the Army
of the Potomac: = a.......s.
The battle ground around the forts at
Rappahannock Station presented next day
striking evidences of the fierce nature of
the conflict. I counted twelve dead horses
in q small space behind the trenches. The
ground was actually strewn with torn gar
ments, splintered shells, and newly-made
graves. The enemy's dead were buried in
line of rifie-pits, which were closed over
| them. / saw many poor fellow smooth
ing down the grave of his comrade, or plac-
| ing some rude slab over it to mark the SOL
dier's last resting place. AS many brave
fellow sat beside the grave, carving his rude
memorial, I noticed, the tears start to his
eyes, which he hastily wiped away, as if
ashamed of them.
The sixth corps had to movein line a.
| long plain which was open to sweeping
| fire from the batteries on the north and
south side of the river. When we consider
this, and that they had but a slight eleva-
ton for their batteries, we must be deeply
impressed with the heroism that could face
such whitening fire.
The hand to hand confictin the forts and
rifle pits were perhaps one of the fiercest
conflicts of the war. Men graphing one
another, flung away their muskets and
finished the work with their bayonets.
The enemy's pontoons were few hun
bred yards above the railway bridge, which
has been utterly destroyed by the enemy.
Our men, after Selling the pontoons, set
them adrift, thus cutting off all succor or
chance of escape from the forts. The 9th
corps has done well, and has given bright
example to the other corps, which they are
anxious to emulate.
| should have stated that, as the sharp
shooters Of the Sd corps were ordered 10
cross at Kelly's Ford, with one ringing
cheer they forded the river at all points,
disdaining to wait for pontoons. The enc
nv rapidiy fell back before them to the
shelter of their riile-pits, where they soon
Surrendered.
! TIE TIP OF THE FAsHIoN.-Ladies who
col, unon the flood tide of fashion present
striking contrast to these who do not. Only
few Of them as yet appear upon the prone
mo nndistended by hoops, or rather worn
over hoops SO small as to be imperceptible

Gratchi, or any noble dame Of the same PEI
Rod. The skirts are as narrow as they can
be worn, with a very decided trail. The
fashions cannot be otherwisethan distingue.
Sewing girls will never initiate or follow 1t.
This will be some consolation. The ladies
this fall discard the long plumes that grac-
ed their bonnets last winter. They have
all been transferred to young misses, in
whose little jockey hats they appear with
very pretty effect. The feathers for ladies
bonnets have all gone from Chestnut street
toSouth street.-Phttadelph North Ameri-
