County Auditors Report.

10 tho Board Of County Commissioners d
Ormsby County:
The County Auditor has the honor to make the
following Report As to the fiscal Affairs Of the
County for the six months ending on the Both
June, 1870.
SUPPLEMENTAL ASSESSMENT FOR 1859.
In the report for the half year ending s1st De-
cember, 1869, it stated that the supplemental
Assessment Roll for 1869, embraced property VAL
ued at $207 6l7 the taxes thereon being S,94O 70
apporfioned as follows: To State, 1855 81; to
County, 81, 22S 81 and to the Fire Department,
SIG 81 Upon account of this assessment there
has been paid on account Of State and County
taxes $33 90 and on account of the Fire Depart
ment s. being total Of S35 60 and leaving due
upon that roll the sum of S, s04 80, apportion.d
as follows: To state, g., SIS %; to County,
50 2O4 90, and to the Fire Department, STA 81.
en the 18th February last. the Board Of Commits
soners passed resolution by which 1t was
ordered that the entire supplemental assessment
for the year 1869 be, and the same is hereby,
stricken out and RENTED" But the State au-
thorities, directing to such action by the Board,
instituted proceedings in the supreme Court TO va
cate such order, which have resulted in late de-
cision by the Court that the action OF the Board
in thus remitting the whole of the Supplemental
Roll was unauthorized and their order declared
void. What proportions Of the present delinquen-
cies upon that roll, and the additional 10 per cent
thereon. will be hereafter collected, depends IN
great measure upon the further action Of the
Board and Of the District Attorney in reference
thereto. The collection Of the amount due would
be great benefit to the County finances.

CONFLICTING NEWS.

Relying upon the accuracy of the reports
received yesterday morning, we have sew
raj articles in this issue which, in the light
of our night dispatches, do not read very sat
isfactory. The advices received up to IL,
PM, yesterday, seem to indicate that the
French still hold Metz and that heavy
fighting occurred there yesterday. Our re-
ports are SO conflicting and unsatisfactory
that we attach but little faith to them. The
French have restricted their news facilities
so that our advices coming from Paris are
unreliable. The Germans, on the other
hand, have offered every facility to news
paper men, and from these we get fuller
and more reliable news. We have but lit
tie from there at this writing

TELEGRAPHIC SUMMARY.

HAVANA, August 13.-An official cor
respondence from De Rodas to the home
government, states that ten thousand rein
forcements are required to make the Span
ish army as strong as last year. This
loss. however includes five thousand
men whose times have expired.
Orcas, an insurgent colonel, has been
captured and executed.
General Castellanos, captured at Puerto
Principe, has arriVed in Havana.
Reports say that Agramonte has arrested
Generals Fastuna, Ostega and ltodraques
for attempting to surrender.
There have been many seizures of to-
bacco, particularly i'm the South, under the
new circular of the Revenue Department
defining irregularities, which give grounds
for confiscation, fines and penalties.
RALEIGH Aug. 13.-It is asserted on
what is considered good authority, that
Gov. Holden will surrender the prisoners
held by his order at Yanceyville to Judge
Brooks, at Salisbury on Thursday.
1t is understood an injunction will be
taken out restraining the Treasurer from
paying Holdens State troops.
1t is reported that the State Department
has advices that Metz was carried by storm
by the PrussiaHs.

The Old CIothcs- Invcstiga.ion.

The old clothes investigating committee
concerning which the org0,, is 50 much worried,
is doing its worl, thoroughly and satisfactorily.
1t has already interfcred very materially with
the aspirations of at least two members of the
pre.eu Assembly for Congress as both Of them
are now well convinced. One Of the Committee,
=. " some Of whom We're charged with being
bought up with the corruptionists, has cash ac-
count about three thousand dollars larger than
he can account for, and in addition has pet
lambs - and reapers and mowers which he hopes
to pay for if he can attend one more session Of
the Assembly as profitable as the two others.
We have no doubt from what we hear, but that
the investigation progressing satisfactorily and
hope the organ will be satisfaction W he hears
the report and proof.

THE ROAD TO PARIS.

A few miles west of Nancy is the impor-
tant railroad center of Frouard, which the
Prussians already hold. The next point
of any strength west of Nancy is Toul, a
fortress of the second class, of no particular
strength. About thirty miles west of Toul
is the river Marine. Between these two
points the country is hilly, and the march
of heavy armies over it would neces-
sarily be slow. The strongest point on
the Marine river, and the only one now
left exterior to Paris is Chalons,
where the present reserves OF the French
army are stationed. Napoleon may be able
to retreat in such order and rapidty ~ to
avoid a general battle until he reaches Cha
Ions, where he would have the two-fold
advantage of a strong position and large
reinforcements. If not dethruned before
he reaches that point, we think it very
probable that he will there make Il deter
mined and desperate stand. He must do
it or give up his throne.

GOOD ADVICE.

WINS, of the Athens Ptlst, is a sage coun-
sellor. Soon after the disastrous defeat of
last Spring he advised the Knoxville ring
to sell one of their two papers and unite
their capital and brains for the good of the
party. His advice was not followed. Last
week another defeat, even more disastrous
than the former, attended the operations
of the ring. Again WINS gives them good
advice. 1t is SO pertinent and timely that
we give it with pleasure, knowing that it
will reflect increased honor upon our saga
cious old friend, and be fully appreciated
by the several candi ates who have been
slaughtered in the house of pretended
friends:
Within the last three or four months we
have received from up the road several letters
and communications suggesting and counseling
organization, union harmony, peace on earth
and good will TO man. We were apprehensiye
at the time that our friends in that direction
We're looking abroad too much. We have al
ways found it mighty good plan when one is
compelled to operate on a small capital, whether
of money or brains. to keep it concentrated and
avoid scattering. The rule will hold good in
regard to parties rs well rs individuals.

ENCOURAGING FROM KENTUCKY.

The Louisville Commercial gives the fol-
lowing "strawsn from the recent election
in Kent8cFv, which is very encouraging
to the Republicans of that Bourbon
State.
The counties OF Jessamine, Garrard,
Christian and Monroe have been redeemed
from Democracy. Fayette county would
have been redeemed, but for the exclusion
of one hundred voters from the polls In
November the Republicans will carry the
county by a thousand majority. They will
also carry Bourbon, Mercer and Wood
ford. This will give us the Seventh
Congressional District. In the local cleo
lions, our friends carried the cities of Lex
ington, Danville, Harrodsburg, Bowling
Green, Greeneville, Paris and Cynthiara.
Frankfort would have followed suit, but
for the actien of the officers of election,
who refused to allow the negroes to vote.
All this looks very encouraging to our
friends i'm Kentucky.

THE FAIR.

We are pleased to see the country people
taking SO much interest in the coming far.
We have conversed with number Of lead
ing farmers, and find them alive to it, i'm
portance. We confidently expect to see Il
large attendance here on that occasion.
Our friend Charlton, late of the Wing, is
doing much TO infuse life into the enter
prise While we fully acknowledge his
ability in the field of journalism, where
we have always found him frank, affable
and courteous, we are glad to see him di-
recting his energies still for the public
welfare. In his former field, although we
give him credit for candor, we couldn't
endorse his politics-in his present enter
prise, we wish him the fullest measure of
success

The Wrong Man PouIticed.

At Il famous and fashionable watering
place, gentleman one night was suddenly
seized in bed with an eXcruciating pain in
the stomach, which neither brandy, No. 6,
nor any other remedy could remove. His
wife, after trying number of things in
vain, and having exhausted all her stock
OF remedies left her husbands bedside for
the purpose of getting a warm application.
Guided on her return by "a light which she
saw shining in chamber, and which she
supposed was the one just left, she softly
entered, and was not little surprised to
find her patient apparently in deep SUM
Der. However, thinking he might still he
-ufi, ing, size gently raised the bed clothes,
etc, and laid the scaldin@ pOultice upon
>tomach-but not the stomach of her hus-
band-which no sooner touched the body
OF the person than he greatly alarmed
burning application. "Halloo! Halluo!
what i'm the name OF heaven and earth are
you about there" then, with one spring
from his bed he made for the door, and
rushing down stairs, declared in frenzy
of excitement, that some one had poured a
shovel of hot coal, upon him.
The woman, overcome with excitement
and alarm, gave frantic scream, which
brought her husband hurriedly in from the
next room to her rescue The husband
was so much excited, and also so much
amused with the singular mistake and the
ridiculous position of his better half, that
he forgot all pains but early next morn
ing he, his wife and trunks left for parts
unknown. The poulticed gentleman still
retains the handkerchief a beautiful linen
fabric. with the lady's name on ii. which
he considers of rare value.
