The Income Tax.

If should be borne in mind by those
subject to pay income tax. that by the
law of the last session of Congress, the
tax for the year 1864, is assessed and pay
able in the coming year of 1865. The tax
paid during the present year was for 1868,
and amounted to eight per cent. and in-
Guiding the regular three per-cant., and
the special five per cent. The law re-
quires every business man aud property
owner to make to the assistant assessor
of his district Il detailed statement of his
income for the year 1864. Blanks are
prepared, giving all the desired infOrma-
ton, and will be delivered by the ass1s-
tant assessors to those required to pay
income tax in due season. The tax for
1864 is five per cent on all incomes over
$500, provided it does not exceed 5000.
If the income is between 5000 and S1O,-
OOU, the tax is seven and half per cent;
and for all over $4,000, the tax is ten per
ceut. Every person knowing him or her,
self Liable to this tax, should become
familiar with its details, and thus escape
the heavy penalties imposed for not re-
porting or making inaccurate returns OF
income. A number of persons have al
ready subjected themselyestO heavy fines,
and in many cases, it is believed, it has not
been from dishonest motives but Il want
of thought and attention on the part OF
those Interested. Therefore every person
whe believes himself liable to pay tax
of five per cent, on his income for 1864,
should not fail to report at the proper
time

WASHINGTON, Dec 28-It would seem
to be mistake, as reported this morning,
that the naval and military feet had re-
turned from North Carolina to Fortress
Monroe The Navy Department has no
such intelligence, but that a messenger
only yesterday returned to the latter
place bringing dispatches from Admiral
Porter. The messenger has not yet az
rived at Washington. 1t is ascertained
from an authentic source, however, under
date Of Fortress Monroe yesterday, that
the powder ship was exploded within a
few yards of Fort Fisher, about 2 A. NJ,
on the Oath.
Later in the day Admiral Porter at
tackled the fort and defences and renewed
the bombardment OH Christmas day. On
each occasion we drove the rebels from
their guns, under the shelter of the
bombproOf, 80 as to effectually silence
their fire in very few minutes. After
the frigates and heavy ships got into
position, detachment of troops landed.
On Sunday afternoon, the skirmishers
pushed up gallantly to the fort under
cover of our fire Some of the more dar-
ing actually entered the works and
brought off the flag. The ebombardment
of the feet continued OH Monday. The

it was impossible to get in all the returns
from some of the large Western States,
such as Missouri, Iowa, the Michigan
Peninsula, Minnesota, &c, but these de-

REBEL ACCOUNT.


Detailed Statement Of the Situation al
RsrdensviIle The Place net Cap
tured.
From tho Richmond Enquirer, Dec "a
By tho arrival from Stanton yesterday
of a gentleman, an agent of the city, ell
gagged in purchasing supplies, we are
furnished with an intelligent statement
of recent affairs in that quarter. On
Wednesday the enemy's force advanced
up the valley as far as Sparta. and were
met at point between Sparta and Har-
risonburg, by General Rosser's cavalry
The enemy, after sharp contest fell
back, leaving some prisoners In ROsser's
hands, aud their dead and wounded upon
the field Their force in cavalry and al
tillery was estimated at between fifteen
hundred and two thousand men. On
Thursday another column appeared at
jacks shop, seven aud half miles from
Gordonsvine, where they were attacked
by General Lomax with his cavalry
When the train left for Richmond at P.
NJ, he was holding them in check and fall
ing slowly back on Gordonsville.
The scene of fighting was at point
east of Gordonsville on the Orange and
Alexandria railroad. There was rumOr
that the snemy's force divided ut Jacks
shop, a body Of them going in the direc-
ton of Charlottesville. If Gordonsville
was not MANAGED until yesterday morn
ing, the place .eas rendered entirely safe by
the disposition of troops then going on.-
There are no gOrernment stores Or property
of anu kind at GordOnsrille, and the utmost
the enemy could do in tho event of reach
ing that place, would be to burn empty
buildings, perhaps break the track, and
switches and gallop off out OF danger
Reports of the capture OF Gordonsville
were rife yesterday. but they were idle
myths. Since the foregoing paragraphs
were written, we have received through
the War Department the following dis
patch from General Lee, which sets all
doubts at rest:
HEADQUARTERS ARMY OF NORTH
ERN VA, December %
Hon j. d. Seldom:
On the Goth, General Early reported one
division of the enemy's cavalry, under
General Custar, coming up the valley, and
two divisions under General Torbett
moving through Chester Gap with four
pieces of artillery and thirty wagons
On the 23d, Rosser attacked Custar's di-
vision nine miles from HarIisonburg,
and drove it back, capturing forty pris-
oners. This morning, TOrbett attacked
Lomax near Goraonsville, and WAS re-
pulsed and severely punished. He is re-
firing, and LOmax prepared to follow.

$4,000. The famous ram Monarch, was
