National Tax on Savings Banks.

The Internal Revenue Bureau thus far
has been able to collect but a small part
Of the tax Of one-twenty- fourth of l per
cent. assessed upon savings banks.
These banks generally claim exemption
from taxation on deposits and capital
stock. Assessments have been made in
some cases, but the attempt to collect
has been resisted, and now the Internal
Revenue Bureau is engaged in a legal
contest with a Vermont savings bank as
to the power Of the department to en-
force collection of the tax on deposits.
The Comptroller Of the Currency for a
number OF years has requested savings
banks and trust and loan companies to
furnish him with reports of their condi-
ton from time to time, and he framed a
law to submit to the Legislatures of the
different States requiring them to re-
port to him, but the only State that
passed the law was Ohio. These banks,
it is claimed, as arule, are doing gen
eral banking business under the name
of savings banks, and, by refusing to re-
port their condition, have evaded the tax
assessed by the Government upon ma
tional banks. = Washington dispatch.

BATTLE WITH BANNGCKS.
An Account of Gallant Gen. Miles Last
Victory.

An Account of Gallant Gen. Miles Last
Mammoth Park {Wyoming Ter.) Telegram to Chi
cago Inter ocean,
A courier just in from Gen. Miles
camp brings the report of fight with
the Bannock hostiles. On the 1st Miles
left the Grow Agency for Clark's fort.
On the afternoon of the Sd the Grow
scouts brought in word Of the Bannocks
coming through the pass. Miles went
into camp to prevent being seen by the
hostiles, and sent out scouts to watch
their movements. The scouts noted the
night camp Of the Bannocks and report
ed. The first intention was to attack
the Bannocks on the night of the Sd,
but it rained all day, end the darkness
became too thick for operation. At 2
o'clock on the morning OF the Ath Miles
started forward to attack with twenty
seven men of the Fifth Infantry, Capt.
Bennett commanding, and thlrty-fve
friendly Grows. At 4 o'clock in the
morning the force reached the Bannock
camp, deployed in skirmish line, and,
when within fifty yards, commenced fir,
ing into the hostiles, who were taken
completely by surprise, being all asleep
at the beginning of the action. The
Bannock camp was protected by STEEP
bluffs in the rear, and a bend of the
branch of Clark's fork in front. The
troops On the right OF the line FREQ
across the river into the Bannock camp.
| The Grow allies on the left fell bach
| from the position assigned them by
Miles, and permitted few Bannocks tc
escape, otherwise every one would have
been killed or taken prisoner.
The battle lasted for two hours, the
Bannocks, though few in number, fight
ing with desperate obstinacy. The re
suit was that Capt. Bennett, Company
B, Fifth Infantry, of Little Rock:
French scout, and one Grow Indian were
killed on the side of the troops, anc
thirteen Bannocks killed. Private Nc.
Aztec, Company G, Fifth Infantry, was
wounded in the wrist, the stock of his
gun being shot away. Thirty-four Ban,
nocks, men, women and children, were
taken prisoners and sent to Fort Keogh
in charge of Gen. Bull, who, with -four
companies Of the Second Cavalry, ar
rived the day after the fight.
The Grows captured the Bannock herd
of about 200 head Of horses. Twenty
two Indian horses were killed in camp
Not more than three or four Bannock
warriors escaped. Capt. Bennett vas
shot through the heart and fell dead
early in the action, leaving Miles he
only commissioned officer present, Lielt.
Bailey being at Bowlder creek. l.
though few Bannocks are believedd
have gone south to the Shoshone Agony
and few toward Fort Hall, it is b
lieved that Miles closes the Bannos
war, as he did the Nez Perces, Sitti1
Bull, Crazy Horse and Lame Deer
campaign, and safety for travellers in tt
National park is believed to be insure
for the remainder Of the season. GET
Miles is expected to join the main bod
Of the Yellowstone expedition in tw
days and proceed through the park.

A Terrible Death.
brownsville (Tenn.) telegram

lDlo"uSflue 1c4cSIaA1.l
A terrible calamity occurred here at 2
a. NJ Carl Groves, q distinguished ex-
Confederate soldier, was burned to
death. He was recovering from a bad
case Of yellow fever. He had been pro-
nounced convalescent. Dr. Haywood
had discharged him as needing no fur
Their attention. Late yesterday evening
he showed unmistakable alteration OF
mind. On hearing this, his brother
went to him, and found him dressed
and about to leave the house. He was
forced back to bed. He quieted down
at 9 p. NJ, and seemed to have recov-
cred his mind. The brother left the
house, and nurse in care of Groves,
with Instructions to 60 for help if he be-
came boisterous and unmanageable. Al
l o'clock a. m. Groves lost his reason
and grew wild. The nurse went for
help, and, in his absence, the Henderson
residence, in which Groves was sick,
either caught or was set on fire, and was
destroyed. Groves body was found to
have been burned to cinders; only a
portion of the blackened form was left.
Hundreds gathered about the ruins of
the house, and looked upon the sicken-
ing spectacle with feelings of sadness
and gloom. Groves was generous heart
ed, popular and we'll known in West
Tennessee.

Gin the Valley of Death"

Mr.. g. Tucker, of Chicago, who,
taking lis life in his hands, ventured
into the very jaws Of death, writes as
follows from Holly Springs, Miss. /:
When left Chicago one week ago I
firmly expected to go in a few days
where the fight was the thickest, and
have not been disappointed. I am in
the "Valley Of DEATH" and the pros
pect of any of us escaping is not very
fiattering. Upon my arrival here yes
terday from New Orleans with an ,ex-
perienced physician and a corps of white
nurses, we found everything in utter
confusion, and the widest state of ex-
element prevailed. cannot begin to
portray in words the condition Of affairs
here. I served through the Peninsula
campaign with Mcclellan, and there be-
came accustomed to scenes of excite
NEXT and death; but what I witnessed
yesterday and to-day in this town, in the
way OF black vomit, fever and delirium,
by far surpasses all former experience.
In the first place we were landed on the
railroad some two miles from town, as the
train would not stop at the depot lest by
SO doing it would not be allowed to stop
at other towns where 10 fever existed.
We got to town as best we could. Upon
reaching town we found but two mem
bers of the Howard Association left, the
others being either sick or dead. They,
Coils. Walter and Holland, worn out
with work and loss Of sleep, grasped our
hands with an earnest, heartfelt "God
bless you for coming" When I told
them was an humble representative of
Chicago, and proposed remaining with
them till the end, they were not slow in
their feelings of gratitude to
the Northern people for SO promptly
coming to their aid.
I found every store, bank, and hotel
closed. Everybody looked like death,

MISCELLANEOUS GLEANINGs.

A dispatch from Austin, Texas, says {:
Sheriff Kerber, Of Ell Paso, reports to the
Adjutant General that his deputy arrested, on
the 18th ult., Antonio Alizares, fugitive from
the penitentiary, who is also under indictment
for the murder of Judge Howard and others
and put him in the San Eizario jail The
same night Mexicans from Mexico crossed the
river and rescued the prisoner"
Northern Ohio. Western Pennsylva-
MIA, and the lower section of Canada were Wis
tied last week by series of most destructive
rain storms. Rain fell almost necessarily for
three or four days. It descended in furious
torrents accompanied by high winds Rail
road bridges were washed away, and in some
instances houses were carried off by the
raging torrents and their inmates
drowned. Railway travel was seriously
impeded, and on many roads temporarily sus-
pended. Toronto, Canada, reports that
in that vicinity since 1861. In Northern Ohio
the damage to crops and manufacturing estab-
lishments is immense; the entire loss in Ohio
alone, it is estimated, will exceed $3,000,-
600. In Western Pennsylvania the damage
was equally serious, and in the vicinity OF
Meadville was attended by sad loss of life. A
train on the Pittsburgh and Erie road ran into
a floating culvert and went down, killing three
persons. Six people were drowned by the
sudden rising Of the waters and the washing
away of their houses, making the death-list
nine in the vicinity of Meadville, while the
property damage is placed at 100000. The
gale was also severe on the lakes, and num-
Der of vessels were driven ashore.

Chicago has contributed thus far
about $6O,00O to the fund for the relief of the
yellow-fever sufferers. Boston has given
$4S, 900; New York, $214,0OO; Philadelphia,
$71,OOO; st. Louis, $4,000. and other large
cities have contributed similar sums. But this
grand total from the chief cities, as magnif-
cent as it seems, is but the dust of the balance
compared with the gifts of the thousands of
smaller cities, of individuals, and of benevolent
and other societies.

THERE was a big fire in Huntington,
Mass, and Alfred Wells refused to have
the goods removed from his store, be-
lieving that the risk of thieves was
greater than of the flames. So the stuff
was burned. The insurance company
refuses to pay, because the policy re-
quired Wells to use all possible means
to save the property. Wells holds that
he did what seemed best for that pur-
pose. The question is to be tried in
court.

Cured last week at Gallipolis, Ohio, point on

They are attributed to the towboat John Por-

was finally abandoned near Gallipois,
where it had since remained, anchored in
the river. Much Indignation was felt along
the river that the authorities of Gallipolis
should allow such a breeder of pestilence to

The Hon. r NJ. Bishop:
DEAR SIR: In your proclamation of the 7th,
recommending day OF prayer on behalf of the
yellow-fever sufferers, you call on all Christian
people to assemble on the 18th, in their re.
spective churches, to offer up prayers to AL
mighty God to alleviate the sufferings of the
South. Did you mean, By the use Of the term
Z" Christian people, % to invite to prayer for the
alienation of q national calamity only those
citizens of Ohio who profess and recognize the
principles of the Christian religion? Respect
fully, DANIEL WOLF,
LJ#tE. a. B. SIMON.
.l. s...e.. ,, CINCINNATI, Sept. 9.
Messrs Daniel Wolf and B. Simon:
DEAR SIRs: Your communication this date
was received by me with considerable surprise.
My object in recommending day OF prayer for
elevation of the seourge which is now afflict-
ing the South was simply to secure the united
invocation to Almighty God by all who believed
in and recognized His goodness and mercy
that He would interpose His Omnipotent
Power, which alone can save, to stay the prog
ress of the terrible scourge which was devas-
tating a large portion OF our common country
The word "Christisa' was used by me only as
general term, intending to recognize all who
recognized and relied upon Divine protection
in the hour of need, and by no means intended
to exclude any of any sect, belief, or school,
who would give prayer for the alienation of
a plague, and, least Of all to exclude the peo-
pie of whom you are members, who are recog-
nized and illustrious for deeds of mercy and
charity. Respectfully,
5#tL- - RICHARD M. BISHOP
