A REBEL GROAN.
From the Atlanta OnnE

|
From Vicksburg to Meridian, or from
Dalton to Marietta -4through Central
Mississippi, or over the North Georgia
plains "on the rampage and off the ram
page, I" the rcdoubtable Sherman has
established himself the prince of reck-
lass raiders merely. Devoted Atlanta
has been approached byfrog-leaps, when
Grant would have reached it by a sue
cession of crawls and creeps. The
forte ofone is raids-ofthe other spades
The course of fight has been serpentine
and zigzag, like the trail of frightned
snake, while the second would have
burrowed blindly up to it like a mole.
1t was never tated to fall into the
hands of either. In the meantime the
snake has been "scotched, not killed"
by Johnston, Miles more of valuable
territory have been added to the acqui-
sitions of the encroaching invader, and
the presence ofhis legions still menaces
our tranquility and wearies us with sus-
pense. We have already paid price
in blood Resaca to Marietta, sufficient,
perhaps, to have purchased, ifnot deci-
sive victory in one desperate encounter
at least cessation of this continuous,
sharp-shooting and sickening mutilation
OF limbs, day after day.
Is there no remedy for this? In the
Army of Tennessee is, force of up
ward of ten thousand half organized
cavalry. Composed of many officers
OF military genius and originality of
conception, it is yet monster without
a head--inefiectual and useless. Does
any practical judgment halt in the opin.
ion that this immense force of mounted
veterans, s,with proper management un.
der great leader, Of daring and dash,
could not utterly destroy, this insolent
Federal invasion, and cut it off complet-
ely from its resources?
We do not believe there is prac-
tlcal thinking man, military or civil, in
the Confederacy, but will agree with
us, that Forrest, within twenty-four
hours, could so systemic and organize
this force for sweep upon the enemy's
rear that it would have more to do with
Sherman's destruction than all tho
breastworks and strong natural position
between the Chtttahoochee and the
Gulf. The record of the man is the
best testimony as to what he could
accomplish, untrammeled and unre-
stricted
The expedition of Sherman is SUBJ
sisted with great difficulty, over long
rear line of communication Block his
transportation for twenty-four hours,
and he could not move peg forward,
and we doubt if he could even 90 back
ward unless in demoralzed condition.
Oh for twenty-four hours of the"Wiz-
zard of the Saddle" or any other kind
ofspirit, with as much original invent
i've geuius and common sense, to place
himself at the head of this powerful
cavalav force, redeem it from the pre-
sent sluggish inactivity and lead it on
the invaders trail

as matter of course. We were talk

remarks tending to awaken any ex--

mans heart. No returns!--She said
"Mr. Grant" ESQ she always calls him,)

was called to this position, he thought

Three new kinds of missiles were
found near Washington, which had
been shot from rebel guns in their skir-
mish at Fort Stevens. One is a conf
cal musket ball of lead in divisions. =
Another is brass chain-shot, five inch-
es in length, with aconical brass bali,
three-fourth of an inch in length, at
each end. The chain part is three and
half inches lin length, formed of two
brass wires twisted together, and perm.
anently riveted to the ball at each end.
1t is afearful missile, and if fired atthe
neck of a soldier with good aim, it
would probably decapitate him, or if
wounded, it would poison him. 1t is
evidently intended as fiag-staff ball: =

The WILL OF THE KrSo OF WuRfsx.
BERo.-A London correspondent Of the
Cincinnati Gazette. says: King William
Of Wurtemberg's will consists Of seven
brief paragraphs. Here is one: /" Hav-
ing hated ceremony all my LIE. l will not
lie in state after death and be gspedlat BY
sight-seers and the lovers Of etiquette IL

favor to supply an escort for the CONN on
its way to Rothenburg, with the Htstrays

singular egotism about all this which
reminds one Of Diogenes trampling Pia.o's
carpet and SAYING, "Thus I read on ths
ostentation of Plato" "With an ostene
tation Of thine own" said Plato. King
Williams hatred of pomp did not prevent
his building an enormous chateau, with 9
great tower, on top Of which Is displayed
gigantic crown. The concluding sru.
tence of the will is as follows: "1lhsye

Oar AbIIlty q Pay Taxes.

The London EcOnopsist and the Satlr.
day Rspino-neither Of them at all partial
this country-have taken occasion 70
call attention to an important economical
fact, developed by this war-the immense
wealth of the population Of the free States.
The Eeonomist, in recent able article on
the subject of our "sLility to bear taxa
ion," demonstrates, as If against the popu-
lar opinion Ct England, our capacity TO
bear 5000, ,000. 900 annual taxation. The
writer states that the great peculiarity Of
American society has not been understood
in Europe-that is, the large number Of
people with an income Of $500. There
are not, he admits, body Of men, repre-
'enting for instance, such an smuunt Of
property as is represented by the British
Parliament, butthere are q far larger num-
Der OF small property holders with taxable
incomes than in England. Reckoning the
average wages Of American laburers and
mall farmers at 81 90 q dayswhieh he
believes to be . small estimate, and the
number Of families in the Union ct ave
and half millions, he thinks the wages
income of the United States would be
equal to the property income of Great
Britain. The income Of our middle class
he estimates as equal to that Of the Briish
middle class, though the former possesses
less accumulated property. Suppose
tax laid corresponding to the English, Of
three shillings on the pound, he concludesI
that 100000 could be raised here
from direct taxes, without counting the
indirect taxes on luxnries. With respect
10 the willingness Of our people to pay. he
entertains little doubt that where sidebt
is 10 universally held and where s,popu-
lation is so well of, the tax would be paid
with but little grumbling. He does not
see why an American "farmer" or artisan
should not be willing to pay for the Amer
lean nationality o. dignity. or safety or
whatever we consider Il, as much a. the
British bankers clerk for the British
namely, three shillings on the round.
Grumblings there would be, but there are
grumblings also from English ratepayers,
and yet the poorest pay with little oppo-
,idon. There might be many difficulties
in collecting, but experience and inge-
nuity would gradually perfect modes Of
raising the taxes which would be the most
effective and the least annoying. And, a.
he justly argues, it is hard to fx ailimit
to the amount of indirect taxes on luxu-
ries which might be raised from 30 rich
people. His final conclusion IL, that the
European public have not atall estimated
correctly the American ability to bear
taxation. ma
