p0 Bachelors. A day or two before

~ BACHELORS A day or two before
the adjournment OF the Maryland Legis'
lature, a proposition was introduced to
tax bachelors above twenty five years Of
age not less than $50 head per snnum,
because the war is destructive of the male
population, while the number of females
is greatly ir: excess to that of the opposite
sex, and it is the duty of every lover Of
his country to promote by every means
the elements that constitute their strength;
said tax to DO applied to the support and
education Of the children of Maryland
soldiers slain in battle. The proposition
was amended by doubling the tax upon
bachelors over forty five years Of age
Exchange.
We enter our protest against taxing
bachelors unless old maids are included
in the bill and for this reason: The
crime Of being an old maid we regard
with equal abhorance as that Of being a
bachelor, and that they are as we'll adapt
ed to increasing the population Of the
country as an old batch, is evident to any
one acquainted with their physical struc'
tune. In fact, the variation in their make.
up is slight, but like the darkey preacher,
we 'bress de Lord for de variaton.'

gentlemen have only gone on q brief fur.
Tough, their families will remain at their

pleasant addition to our society as the pres.

that we may be favored with their compa-

the pleasure Of their acquaintance but a
short time. their many estimable and social
qualities have secured for them warm
place in our remembrance.

DO Having just had occasion to pass
through the southern portion of this and
the western part Of Monona county, we
were agreeable surprised at the indications
of agricultural improvement which all
along the route meets one. The farmers
this season seem to have realized the pro.
priety of developing the resources Of the
rich lands in the valley of the Missouri
Judge WHITING, one Of the largest and
most successful farmers in Monona county,
is putting in an imnens amount Of grain,
while his lands are every where covered
with fruit trees of the most approved vari-
ETY.. Passing the Whiting settlement and
the pleasant town Of Ashton, we came to
the en,erprising and well built city Of
Onawa, the county seat of Monona county.
Here one finds that greatest of all attrac.
tons in a western town, viz: good hotel
and landlord who knows how to keep it.
Without any exception MorEIsoN's is the
best place to stop that we have had the
pleasure Of hanging out at for some time,
aud it was with a SINKING heart and feel.
ing of regret that we turned our horses
heads from his hospitable raachc, and bid
farewell for time to our many kind
friends in Onawa. May happiness be
their portion and il they don't get r. R.,
may they secure every thing else they may
desire. But should the same degree Of
prosperity attend their industry for few
years in the future, which has in the past,
they will be able to build r. r. out of
their own resources soon, and bid defiance
to the chicanery Of corporations.

dated yesterday, II A. M. at City Point, has
been received by this Department:
The 9th corps this morning carried two
more redoubGs, forming part of the detences
Of Petersburgh, capturing 450 prisoners and
4 guns. Our successes are being followed
up. Our forces drew out from within fifty
yards Of the enemy's entertainments at Cold
Harbor, made a flank movement OF about SIS
miles march, crossing the Chickah ominy and
James riyers-the latter two thousand feet
wide and eiRhty-four feet deep at the point of
crossing-an and surprised the enemy's rear at
Petersburg. This was done without the loss
Of wagon or piece of artillery, and only a.
bout so siragglers were picked up by the
enemy. In covering this move Warren's
corps and Wilson's cavalry had frequent skir-
misking with the enemy, each losing from SO
to 60 killed and wounded, but inhcting an
equal II not greater loss upon the enemy.
The lS'h corps, Smiths, were transferred
from the White House to Bermuda Hundred
by water and moved out near to PetersbuTRh.
The night of their arrival they surprised or
rather captured the very strong works north
east OF Petersbutgh before sufficient force
