TAxEs-A. TIMELY SUGGEsTIoN.-The Richmond
Whig says that "the passion for high taxes has
become perfect rage. 1t is said that the people
are begging and entreatng their Representatives to
pile up the taxes mountain hgh-the higher the
better! We do not know who these people are
We are quite certain they are not the people arh0
mare TO pay tie tGres"-
The Whig is undoubtedly right. The people ex-
pect tax law, as a necessity, and for the sake of
the great cause will cheerfully submit to one of
more than ordinary stringency. But there is dan
ger Of overriding the thing, and producing deep dis
satisfaction by requiring than the people can
afford to pay. 1t is true that are able to pay
enorInouSy-those who are making enormous y
but it is also true that very large portion of the
people, including those in the army, are less able
to pay than ever. Yet in general tax law the
property of soldiers at home must be taxed, though
possibly unproductive because Of their absence
We say to Congress, therefore, beware! You
could not commit mole unfortunate blunder than
to levy such tax It is reported is nearly ma
tured, stated variously at hundred millions, a
hundred and fifty millions, two hundred millions,
and even four hundred millions of dollars! Such
taxes cannot be paid The State and county taxes
in North Carolina, for instance will this year be
double what they ever were before. Yet they may
not reach three millions North Carolina's proper
ton of the tax will be about one tenth-say from
ten to forty millions of dollars according to the
timates of the whole 1t is sufficient to state this
to satisfy all that it will be impossible to collect
such taxes.-Fty. Observer.

New YORK, Aug. %.
Specials this morning contain but little
news. The Tribune has the following:
Gen. Burnside declares all the ferries on
the Ohio river, and other streams within
the limits of the Department Of Ohio. mill
tary highways, and where the interests of
the service require it will be subject To the
military authorities.
A party of guerrillas, who were attempt
ing to steal horses and destroy canal boats
on the Chesapeake and Ohio Canal, on Sat
urday last, at Seneca Falls. were hand
somely repulsed twice, and finally driven
away by a detachment Of Col. Bakers Ran
gers. A rebel Lieutenant was killed, and
ether rebels wounded
A wagon and five men, from the 73d
Ohio, were captured by dozen guerrillas
near Greenwich, on Saturday.
A Morris Island letter to the Herald
states that the appearance of the gorge
face of Sumter last night and its parapet
was not unlike that presented by Fort Pu-
laski on tho evening of the first davis fire.
30 or 40 large holes could be counted on
the face Of the work. The parapet was
knocked off in places, the barricade of
bricks covering the magazines and sand
traverses were seriously damaged, and the
grim old fort looked as though she had re-
ceiVed very severe treatment at our hands.
Three days of such work will bring down
Sumter around the heads of its defenders,
If they wait so long It certainly cannot
hold out much longer than that time. Six
days were given it to hold out by those
who best know its strength and our often
siVe power. Forts Wagner and Gregg will
be attended TO in due time.

SICK AND WOUNDED SoLDIERs.-About a
car load of sick and wounded soldiers, be-
longing to various New England regiments,
passed through here this morning, Tuesday
en- route for home Their regiments have al
ready gone homo, and they have been left at
various points on the route. As they have
regained sufficient strength to resume their
journey they have been picked up and sent
along. They are poor, emaoiated lot of
men, and excited much pity and commissora-
tion from persons at the depot. superin-
tendent Nottingham of the Lake Shore Road
had them placed in sleeping car, thereby
rendering them as comfortable as possible.
-Four of their comrades, who had died on the
way, were being taken home in collins.
Two sick men, unable to proceed any fur
ther, were removed from the train to the hos
pitsl room of the Aid Society, where they
received every attention.
So universal disposition as is manifested
by our citizens to do what they,can to allevi-
ate the suferings of the noble men who have
aided in achieving the great victories on the
Mississippi, does them infinite credit.

FORT MONROE, Aug. "A.
The steamer City Of Richmond arrived
at Hampton Roads yesterday noon. She
reports she left off Charleston at noon on
Saturday last. The flags of Sumter were
shot away on Thursday and Friday, and
no reply was made to our bombardment,
which was constantly kept up. The whole
of the Southwest side of Sumter is demol-
ished, and is nothing but a heap of ruins.
Friday morning nine breaches were OBJ
served in the Fort. Our casualties aver
aged only about four daily.
A steamer from City Point has arrived.
The Richmond Sentinel has the follow
ing highly important dispatch, dated
Charleston, August 22d The fire of the
enemy's land batteries has been kept up
on Sumter and more guns disabled. Also,
a heavy fire on Wagner and Gregg from
fleet and land.
Gilmore's demand for the surrender of
Sumter and Morris Island with the threat
to shell Charleston in four hours from the
O oelivery Of the papers at Fort Wagner,
was received and returned this morning.
Be auregard, in reply, charges inhuman-
ity and violation Of laws of war against
Gilmore, and afirms if the ofFense is re-
peated he will employ stringent measures
for retaliation.
Up to this time the threat to shell the
city has not been executed.
CHARLESTON, Aug. %.
Saturday 604 shets were fired at Sum-
ter, AIS striking inside and outside. The

NEW YORK, Aug. 25.
Two steam transports, from off Morris
Island at midnight on the 2lst report the
bombardment continued. The south wall
of Sumter has been demolished almost tc
its base. Wagner, Gregg, and other bat
teries replied at short intervals.
An expedition was fitting out to silence

Every confidence in our success is fell

The important movement OF Union forces
ncW going forward will be fruitful Of
events Of momentous and lasting eOnse-
quenee. While Gilmore is moving on
Charleston, Burnside, Rosecrans, Banks
and Grant are all cooperating in active
measures already begun. Thus is the re-
bellion hard pressed in various quarters.
What will JEFF. Davis do2 He cannot
defend even his ciroumscribed arealm"
at all points. wilt he not abandon some,
and concentrate upon otbers2 Will he
abandon Virginia, and consequently Rich
mond, to concentrate at Chattanooga, to
withstand Rosecrans and break up The
Union combinations there2 Or, will he
abandon Chattanooga, and concentrate all
his available force with Lee for an onward
movement against Washington, deeming,
Il Successful in that direction, it will give
him prestige that will greatly cOunteract
disasters elsewhere, and make some
amends for the abandonment of other
important points
This latter supposiiiOn may not be with
out foundation, for the affairs Of the rebel
lion are becoming desperate, and may lead
to desperate undertakings. If the rebel
troops are Withdrawn from other points,
and Lee is largely reinforced to take TIE
aggressive against Meade, it is clear that
the rebel leaders trust everything to the
hazard Of the movement. If they succeed,
they are strengthened for time, and the
life Of the rebellion is prolonged. If they
fail, all is lost, the rebellion viii have
gone up, and the rebel leading conspira-
tors, unable to make further stand, will
scatter and hide themselves. In that case,
some Of them will be inevitably captured,
and hemp viii be in demand.
Notwithstanding the raging Of the sum
mer solstice, all is activity and yigOr.
Events crowd, and a few weeks in the i'm
mediate future may be big with decisive
events. None, therefore, can fail to watch
the movements going forward with intens-
est interest
