To SHERIFFs AND TAX COLLECTORS The follow
ing letter to the Sheriff of New Hanover will ex-
plain your duties in regard to some points, about
which there seem to be some difficulty and differ
ence of opinion. The rules laid down apply to
that retailers of spirtuous liquors pay $50 for the
year during which their license was granted by
the County Courts, but, if they have already paid
the Convention tax, they pay nothing more to the
State. Where counties have imposed taxes under
Schedule B, by recent Ordinance of the Con-
vention, you will collect the county taxes under
the same rule State taxes.

THE TOAST.

The feast is o'erI Now brimming wine
In lordly cup is seen to shine
Before each eager guest;
And silence fills the crowded hall,
As deep as when the herald's call,
Thrills in the loy al breast.
Then up arose the noble host,
And smiling cried, "a toast, toast.
To ali the ladies fair.
Here b, fore all edge the name
OF St+unton's proud an beauteous dame:
The Lady OF Gundamore.
Then to his feet each gallant sprung.
And joyous was the shout that rung,
AS Stanley gave the word;
And every cup was raised on high,
Nor ceased the loud and gladstone cry
Till Stanley's voice was heard. d.
Enough, enough" he smiling said,
And lowly bowed his naughty head.
"That all may have their due,
Now each in turn must play his part,
And p edge the lady of his heart,
Like gallant knight and true"
Then one by one each guest sprung up,
And drained in turn his brimmiDg cup,
And named the loved ones name;
And each, as hand on high he raised, 9
His lady's grace or beauty praised,
Her constancy and fame.
IT'S now st. Icons turn to rise,
On him are fixed those countless eyes
And gallant knight is he;
Envied by some, admired by al,
Far.famed in lady's bower and hal,
The flower OF chivalry.
st. Leon raised his kindling eye;
Lifting the 81 arkling cup on high,
81 drink u one" he said,
"Whose image never may depart,
Deep craven on this grateful heart,
Till memory be dead.
To one whose love for me shall last
When lighter passions long have past,
So holy It's, and true F;
To one whose love hath longer dwelt,
More deeply fixed, more keenly felt
Than any owned by you"
Each guest upstarted at the word,
And laid his hand upon his sword,
With fury flashing eyes;
And Stanley 1--WE crave the name,
Proud knight, Of this most peerless dame,
Whose love you count 30 high"
st. Leon paused, as If he would
Not breathe her dame in careless mood
Thus lightly to another;
Then bent his noble head as who
Would give that word its reverence due,
And gently said: my MOTHER"

The Battlefield In Europe.

The thunder cloud of war has by this time
burst upon Germany and Europe. The at
tempt OF diplomacy to avert the conflict and
preserve peace by some patched up Compro-
mise seems TO have been fruitless, and war
-. VIC presume, now raging in all its fury,
desolating the beautiful plains and valleys
OF Central Germany. And, strange to say,
It breaks out almost upon the Identical spot
where. for centuries past, the destiny Of ma
tons has been decided by victory and de-
feat in battle A German writer once said
that Germany might be compared to the pa
tent servant, across whose broad back the
people,are fighting out their quarrels. This
much i true there has been no war of any
great continental Importance, except the
Crimean and Italian, of latter days, III which
the heaviest blows were not struck IN Ter
many and where the decisive battles were
not fought in the valley Of the Elbe. The
great battle between Henry / Of Germany
and the Hungarians, which freed the Ger
mans from ever after paying tribute to the
then barbarous Hungarians. was fought
here, near Merseburg That was about a
thousand years ago, and this REGION has re-
tanned to this day its distinction of being
the natural fighting ground of Europea1
nations.
1t was here in this valley that ali the
great battles Of the thirty years war were
won and lost. Here lilly gained his lau-
rels. blasted his fame, and sacrificed his life
On the line Of the Elbe Valley Wallenstein
won his first great name and earned the du-
cal crown: and here, at Leutzen. Gustav
Adolph. the great Swede Protestant warrior,
split his blood in victory. But why 90
back so far; the history Of almost our own
day gives proof of our assertion. The whole
power of the Prussian kingdom gave way
Brownlow's Knoxville Whig. [volume] (Knoxville, Tenn.) 1866-1869, 1866-07-11

like rotton staff before single blow OF
Napoleon at jena, and this giant himself
was finally overcome at Leipsie. -,
And now it is this valley OF the Eide
again which is TO be the theatre OF battles
and bloodshed; for the failure or success OF
the first campaign depends in great meas
ure upon which of the two contending pow
ers succeeds in first taking an advantageous
p position in sazony, with Dresden as the piv
Of or central point If Austria, then the
Prussians will have to retreat from the from
tier and expose Berlin to capture; if Prus-
STA. then the Austrians must offer battle
with the advantage opposition against them.
But we did not intend to write upon the
military situation of the armies, but only
to remark upon the fact that history again
unfolds itself upon the same spot it has SO
often before chosen.-N. Y NeuS.
