'.Congrcss Must Tax"


Under this heading, the New York Trf-
b,sae has an article on the necessity Of not
only, under the present management OF the
war, keeping up and increasing the military
force, but of increasing the taxes OF the
people. The latter necessity of course
grows out of the former. The payment OF
large bounties to re-enlisted soldiers, the
Tribune says, enhances the cost of the war;
it sends up the premium on gold, and ii
Z. imposes on Congress the duty of promptly
increasing taxation. 'e " ss
The present taxation, like the present
army in the field, is, according to the Iri-
( 6une and other journals that advocate an
Abolition war, inadequate, and this fact, we
are told, shakes the national credit, and
thus costs the Government many millions
per annum in the enhanced price of all II
buys. ~
The Tribune states that the high taxes
imposed by the last Congress are yielding
less than one hundred millions per annum
instead Of one hundred and fifty millions as
was anticipated. 1t, therefore, recommends
increased taxes on certain specified objects
and admonishes Congress to "FAIL NOT To
TAX" rs,

At Shiloh, at Fallen Timbers, at Bayou Me-

place where they have heard the music of
Rebel guns, the 18th boys have shown the
true spirit of true soldiers. On their fatign-

sec and Mississippi, and over the prairies of
Arkansas, during the summer months, they
exhibited powers of endurance and desire
to do their whole. duty which frequently
won the concentrations of the general
officers.
