Besides this important work, largo amount of
property, including saltpctcr works, was de

icate with Richmond hy railroad however, via At

snry 20 70 South very near to Charleston.
The entire raid wus duShing and srduous in the
extreme. II was desperate work for the horses,
but this was fully replaced hy capture. The Union
pooplu OF Tennessee were ovcrioycd only To be dis
appointed. The rebel panic was intense. They
penetrated through the rebel lines destroying also

and grst mills at lovoir Brothers, captured i0O
prisoners, 3 pieces of artillery, and over 10000
stand Of arms together with horses, stores, &c

guns, compelling our men to retire while it was
burning. They paroled their prisoners, aud 10

THE NATIONAL DEBT A special
Washington dispatch to the New York
Times says that the national debt is far
less in amount than the enemies of the
government hoped it would be on the LIST
Of October. They had prophesied that
we would owe three thousand millions OF
dollars before the end OF the second year
of the war. Government enters upon the
third wear of the war with a debt of only
twelve hundred and twenty two millions
seven hundred and fifty thousand dollars.
The increase Of this debt hereafter will be
moderate, the Government being album
dainty supplied with muskets, cannon and
clothing.
In a speech at Armory Hospital, the
Register Of the Treasury, Hon. L. f..
Chittenden, said that, while northern Cop
perheads were predicting bankruptcy and
ruin in our monetary affairs, foreign CAPT
talists were only too anxious to invest in
government securities. Yesterday $780,
600 worth Of United States bonds were
issued to foreign brokers, and government
has money now on hand with which to
pay the entire army for the month of No
vember, which money was furnished by
foreign capitalists. ~

| have only to say in conclusion that
while there was not mounted marshal
nor polioeman's badge to be seen at any
time, the most perfect order everywhere
prevailed. One noisy, protane, drunken
rowdy made the morning hldeous Tor
about an hour, but by some means he was
sllenced.
The exercises were enhvened by the ex-
celent music of Griswold's Cornet Band
While waiting at the depot for the eight
o'clock train, this Band played among
other airs, the old and familiar one son
in the Stiny Night" in a very tasteful
and effective manner.

THE ELECTIONS. Our readers have
alre reioiced over the glorious manner
in which Ohio and Pennsylvania, with
aajorities outnumberng expectation, have
fallen into line with Kentucky, California,
Vernon; aud Maine. Never before were
victories achiey III at the ballot box cover
ing such mighty consequences. They are
not mere partisan successes, but involve
the triumph of patriotism over an armed
and gigantic conspiracy against the Union
and democratic government. The South
ern traitors have sustained no more crush
ing defeats than at these same elections
Their Northern co-workers, upon whose
labors they built high hopes, are routed
beyond possibility Of rally. The Demo
cratic party" exclaimed the Richmond
Enquirer, sis of the utmost Importance
TO as IN stimulating disa6sction among the
Yankees against their o,on' Government,
and in demordliziag and disiategaatiag
society in that God-abandoned country"
"Vallandigham," cried the rebel Maury,
"waits and watches across the border,
pledged, if elected Gopernor Of The State Of
Ohio, to array il against Lincoln and
the acar, and go for peace!" And these
rebel statements were coincident with those
of Northern so-called democrats. Hester
Clymer, prominent candidate for Cover
nor of Pennsylvania before the Democra-
tic State Convention which nominated
Woodward, and a democratic Senator
from the county of Berks, declared that
"if Woodward and Vallandigham were
elected with Seymour and Parker, they
would unite in calling from the army the
troops from their respective States for the
purpose of compelling the Administration
to invite Convention of the States to adj
Just our difficulties" And when Rose
Grams was repulsed at Chcamauga, three
great events for rebeIdom were exultantlv
predicted by the rebel papers as conse-
quence, which they put on a par with each
other in importance. We shall now,''
exclaimed the Atlanta (Ga.) Appeal, :" b

LANDIGHLM WILL BE ELECTED ~ Alas
for the stunning blow of disappointment
destined for the Appeal
1t is needless to multiply proofs to show
how fully the rebels recognized and appre-
ciated the alliance Of the Northern Cop
perheads.
Never before, then, have elections oc-
Cured over whose results all lovers of the
Union and democratic government should
rejoice with sucn exceeding great Joy as
these which give us, combined, victory
over Southern traitors in arms !; victory
over their Northern co-operators a vic
tory over the great copperhead prince and
martyr Vallandigham victory over Pugh
aud Woodward and the whole tribe Of
mahgnants, and to come down to things
Of very much smaller consequence, victory
over George B. McClellan's letter on the
political principles of Woodward, and

tuition Of slavery.

NATURALIZATION PAPERS. The New
York Herald says:

ssBut few, if any naturalization papers,
are being taken out in this city. Usually
at this period, before elections, the poll
ticians on all sides are busy hurrying for
eigners up to the Office and securing their
papers for them to ensure their votes on
election day, but now nothing of this kind
is done. Those naturalized citizens who
escaped the last draft will hesitate in go
ing to the polls for fear of the next draft,
knowing very well that if they vote the
Provost Marshals will obtain their names
from the poll lists, and thus render all
pleas of alienage futile. In addition to
this, those who have cleared themselves
this time on the plea of alienage will not
vote, for it viii ensure their immediate A.
rest"

Gambling.

A bill is pending before the Virginia Lcsis-
laturc to suppress gambling 1t passed the
Senate last Saturday-35 ayes to 4 noes-and
it is expected that the House of Delegates will
likewise pass it.
The Richmond Enquirer docs not regard the
bill as severe enough, but, nevertheless, sup.
ports it readily. 1t gives the following view
into the interior of a gambling establishment: ::
1t may not be known that there is said to
be gambling house in Richmond divided into
the House of Lords and the House of Com
mons. Into the former only invited guests are
admitted-men known to have the handling
of large sums of money-such as quartermas-
tiers, commissaries, the clerks of large mcrcan-
tile establishments, planters, &c, &c. These
Lords of the Brass Key admit themselves by a
particular door, which moves only to the open
sesame of some man whose official position is one
of great pccuniary responsibility. The House
Of Commons is for larger but not so select
body-members of Congress and Legislature,
officers and privatcs of the army and navy,
men generally of reduced means.
The entertainments in these two chambers
differ as much as the pccuniary responsibility
of their guests demands. The House of Lords
spreads all the luxurics and daint'cs that can
= tempt the palate of the most fastidous thief
that ever stole money from his employers.
Here arc to be found the wines of Burgundy
and France, the fruits of the Tropics, all the
expensive dishes of a Paris restaurant. For the
House of Lords the prccarious trade of the
blockade incurs all its dangers, snre of finding
remuneration ard profit. In the House Of
Commons Confederate dishes and liquors are
spread, but the most excellent of these kinds
are there to be enjoyed-cvcn amidst all the
apparent waste of money there is a degree of
economy practiscd worthy of better employ
meat. The refuse dishes of the Lords arc
spread the next day for the Commons, and it
is no uncommon spectacle to see member of
Congress or Legislature, or other gentleman,
regaling himself upon the cast off dish which
a quartcrmastcr or commssary refused the day
before.

Tax in Kind.
DUpLIN, N. O., October lO. 1868.


4Messrs. Fuiton e. Price The question as
to whether the Commonly calledD Tithe Law
passed by Congress, required the producer to
furnish a tenth of his grain and potatoes; and
then tenth of the pork made from those ar
ticles, has been frequently discussed among my
friends and took the liberty to write for a
construction Of the law. BY yesterdays mail
[ received the reply; and supposing your rca-
dcrs might be pleased to see the answer, send
it to your Office for communication to your
patrons, if you think it right.
Very respectfully, &c.,
JERE PEARSALL.
OFFICE OF THE COMMISSIONER OF TAXES,
Richmond, Oct. 2, 1868.
Jere PearsaA KenansviUe ". G.:
SIR:-Your letter of the 2sth ult. to the
address of the Attorncy-General, has been re-
ferred to this Bureau, for the reason that he is
not authorized to give an opinion upon the
questions submitted. BY Section II, of the
tax act, each farmer and planter of the Con
federate States is required to pay one-tenth of
the products enumerated therein, save certain
reservations, to the Government. This tax is
imposed on all, whether gathered or not, cx-
cept hay and fodder, which must first be cured,
and peas, beans and ground peas, which must
first be gathered. 1t therefore Follows, that, if
farmer gathers none of the latter, but turns
his hogs into the field, and the crop is con
sumed in that way, then, as none has ben gdth-
ered, there will be no tax. SO, then, the tthe
is only required upon the hog and fodder cured,
and the peas, beans and ground peas gathered
these are all the exceptions. If a man turns
hogs on his potatoes, corn, &c, he must save
enough Of each to pay the tithc upon the
whole. This is the iaw and it is by that we
must all be governed. BY Section ~, the
farmer, planter, or grazcr is required to pay
one tenth of his pork-that is, of all the hogs
slaughtered, in bacon as ali equivalent for one
hundred po,inds Of pork. There is no dcduc-
ton to be made. No inquiry as to how the
hogs were tattcncd, whether by corn from the
crib, corn in the field, or peas, ground peas aud
potatoes fed in the field, it is all the same
Very respectfully,
THOMPSON ALLAN,
Commissioner OF Taxes
