from Pillow were picked up and brought
to Mound City Hospital.
The guerrillas recently made . raid upon
the cotton plantations 40 miles below
Vicksburg and captured large number OF
Rollison, of Matoon, Ills. After getting to
half the distance they compelled him to

Information obtained from reliable sour
ces confirms the Chicago Journals Red
River letter of the 10th, concerning the bat

guerrillas.
The officers of the steamer Anderson saw

made prior TO say, March 7, 1854.
He said the Law Of March last levied tax
Of 10 cents per gallon on all imported
liquors on hand, while notwithstanding IN
efforts 10 include domestic LIQUORS Tie ~
Ter were exempt. There was no justice in
In this. Why should importers who have
sent forward orders to Europe for goods
existing ct the time the orders were given.
Be made to bear not only the additional
taxes imposed before their arrival, but in.
deed liable to have taxes imposed long af-
Ter their arrival. while dealers in domestic
liquors were to be exempt? You refuse
to tax domestic spirits on hand, but do not
extend the principle to foreign liquors on
hand. II appears to me, he said, that inn
porters have strong equitieson their sides.
The city Of New York Is to be q great suf-
ferer in this kind Of legislation. She had
paid three-fourths of the whole revenue Of
the nation since its foundation. The ex-
penses Of the Government had been collec-
ted from imports, and New York has fur
nished Il. Whythis discrimination against
her? He strongly urged the adoption Of
his amendment, to except foreign LIQUORS
from the tax on hand, inasmuch as the
House had refused to apply the principle
to domestic liquors. At the request of sew.
eral gentlemen, Mr.. Wood withdrew his
amendment, for the present, giving notice
that he would offer It at q future stage of
the proceedings. An amendment was adop-
ted, including naptha in the section which
provides that all distilled spirits and all re-
lined coal oil, upon which IN excise tax
duty Is imposed, may be exported without
the payment Of duty, when the same il in
tended for expectation.
Mr.. LAW, Of Indiana, offered an amend

A REVOLUTIONARY ANECDorE

A REVOLUTIONARY ANECDOTE
1t was sabbath morning in the year l777,
that the inhabitants Of a little parish in the
State Of Vermont, and on the borders of
New Hampshire, assembled in their accus-
toned place Of worship. The cares Of that
fearful and long-to- aforementioned Summer
had imprinted an unusally terious look upon
the rough though not unpleasant countenance
Of the male members Of that little congreea-
ton. The rigid features relaxed, however,
as they entered that halowed place and felt
the general influence of a Summers sun,
whose rays illuminated the sanctuary, and
played upon the desk and upon the coun-
teance Of him who ministered there. He was
venerable man his white locks and totter-
ing frame evinced that he had numbered three
score and ten years. Opening the sacred
volume the minister was about to commence
the services Of the morning, when messen-
ger arrived almost treathless, rushed into the
church exclaiming THE enemy are march
ing upon our western Counties ~ The old
man looked around on his congregation and
announced his text: ale that hath a gar
ment let him sell i, and buy a sword" Az
ter few preliminary remarks he added $50
up my friends, beseech you, to the help Of
your neighsots against the mighty. Ad-
vance into the field Of battle, for God will
muster the hosts of war. Religion is too
much interested in the success of this day not
to lend your influence. As for myself, eye
sits heavily upon me, and | cannot go with
you; neither have | representatives Of my
family to send. My daughtets-my daugh
ters cannot draw the sword, nor handle the
musket in defence Of their country, but they
can use the hoe--so that when the toll worn
soldier returns from the field Of battle, be
may not suffer for the necessaries Of life. -
The venerable pastor bowed his head in de-
votion. When he again looked around, his
audience was gone. One by one they h d
silently left tho house Of God. and ere the
sun had that day set, the male inhabitants OF
thai little parish who were able to bear arms,
were far on their way to meet the enemies of
their county on the field of Bennington.
