The representations made by Dean
,_ Richmond and Peter ,Cogger, in a print-
. oi circular, dated October 27th, 1863,
' h respect to the action'Of the Provost
Rulershal General, are untrue. It is not
he that the State of New York is
charged as with a deficiency for every
itizeu who has paid the $300 commuta-
tion money, receiving no credit therefor.
.. ; On the contrary, the State receives the
l ' 'credit for a man who has paid com-
vi-putution, as if the drafted citizen had
e in person or furnished a substitute,
and in like manner, towns which have
- v ,pised the money to pay their‘qnotas, re.
~fi'ive the same credit as if each substitute
~ hd been furnished, and the President
5.2 he ordered that eyery' citizen who has
ibu‘id the $300 commutation, shall receive
‘0‘ same credit therefor, as if he' had fur-
,2 Iiazfihcd a substitute, and is exonerated
military service for the term for
which he was drafted, to wit: for three
- ears. As the misrepresentations of Dean

; ”1- Position at Chattanooga.
. The recent news that our forces have
driven the rebels from Lookout Moun-
. flu, near Chattanooga is important.—
- Our late movements in that vicinity‘have
, opened communication with Bridgeport,
2 {ad flanked the rebels. With the rail-
. read line between-Chattanooga and Ste-
- season, Ala., at our command, there is
:2 uo-trouble about supplies, and our strong-
- ly- fortified position at Chattanooga can
-.:-hl easily held. . ' -'
. The necessity of controlling this rail-'2
‘-:-t-¢oud will beapparcut to every one. _ Car.-
1 ouspondents from the army of the Cum-
ui‘torland say‘that previous to the recent
lovement, the difliculty in Obtaining sup-
plies at Chattanooga was becoming a se-
sinus embarrassment, the late rains ma-
ntiug the roads so- bad that teams were
.. impelled to make a circuit of eighty
' fines, and then sometimes failing to get
. through. There was great want offor
nefor horses, and parties had to scour
,- we country to keep them from starving.
Our lettersays that Gen. Thomas held-
~the opinion that, so great was the diffi-
-. unity in procuring the necessary supplies,
Chattanooga could not be held without
opening communication with Stevenson. -
The recent movements indicate that
the new commander has acted promptly
, h endeavoring to remove all difficulties
in this respect, and that he is determined
. to maintain secure lines of communication
with his "base of supplies. The impor-
huce to us- of this line between Chatta.
flange and Bridgeport, and Stevenson,
must be apparent also to the rebel com-
lenders, and they will be pretty likely,
ot an 'early day, to dispossess us of it.
Indeed, it is generally thought, in offi-
.- cial circles in Washington, if we can be-
~ have the reports of correspondents, that
2 there will be hard fighting near Chatta-
-IOOga very soon. |
' The enemy will not probably make an
7} attack on Gen. Thomas in front, as they.
~ can have little hope. of shelling or dri-
- ving him from his position in that way.
Their plan will doubtless be to throw a
~ heavy force on' his flanks, with a view to
'- break up his communications, and thus
compel him to evacuate his present
'atroughold. Any effort of the enemy to
“interfere in‘large force with our present
”fine to Stevenson will, we are confident,
* be promptly met by Gen. Thomas, and a
"general engagement will probably result.
“"Gen. Grant is, we suppose, in a position
”Cb aid in the protection of this line, and
Vito believe the enemy will receive severe
iiipunishmeut if a general fight is risked. 3
s. The rebels Will hardly, dare to send a '
large force" into East Tennessee, to dis-
Iodge Burnside and flank us in that direcl‘
film. Their own lines for supplies would
“he placed‘in jeopardy by such a move;
""Ient. It is most probable that they
*Iill move‘upou our communications with
“Stevenson. Another terrible fight for
2 the “key of East Tennessee,” may rea-
sonably be expected soon. With two
,_ such fighting Generals as Grant and
"Thomas at the head of our forces there,
fps have good cause to hope for a favor-

HEAD-QUARTERB ARMY or i
. THE POTOMAC. 5
DEAR GAZETTE—We “still live” and
more though with great deliberation. The
destruction of our railroad was most per-
feCt and complete and whatever we made
by the “outgeneraliug” process, we cer-
tainly lost in the opportunity we gave the
rebs. to utterly annihilate thirty miles of
our railway communication. Just imag-
ine the New York and New Haven Rail
Road torn up, the ties all piled up and
burned, the iron rails heated in the cen-
tre and twisted around trees, and there
left to cool. The abutments of Bridges
blown up——excavatious filled in,’ and em-
bankments dug down, and this for the en-
tire line, and youvhave the Orange and
Alexandria Railroad from Manassas to
Rappahanuock station as it appeared on
the morning our army woke up to the
daring exploits of pursuit. What is now
to be done, time alone can determine.
Perhaps, (after the old Scottish adage)
this boasted campaign “may turn out a
sang,” but most likely “turn out a ser-
mon.” .
Lee, with most provoking impudeuce,
erects his front before us, and his guerillas
dash in upon our exposed points—steal
,darkcy teamster. , But that he will risk
a general engagement here, and now, I‘do
not believe, and yet the almost incessant
movements of our various corps, keep
the news-mongers on the alert, 'withont
the satisfaction of any sustaining faith.
In the Capital city, all is agog, over
the incoming of members and the- ap-
proaching session of the new Congress.
One of the President’s last boa mots
has 'a local interest and runs thus z:—
Au Ex-U. S. Senator from Ct., whose
domestic relations had assumed a highly
prosperous condition, in a private note,
chanced to mention the fact of his having
added two robust boys to the infantry
enrollment, the, facetious President there-
fore eudorsed the epistle with the follow-
ing sentiment expressive of his high up-
preciation Of the efforts to increase the
military forces :-—“ Good for Uncle
T—, as he grows older, he grows strou~
get, so may it be with the nation.”
Much interest is centering on the mat-
ter of speaker, but who will win at last,
remains to be seen. Hon. Schuyler Col:
fax, has the inside track.
Yours, &c.,

ALVA GRAY, Esq, Assssson, TOWN or
WEsrron-r: Dear Sir—In your letter of
the 21st inst, you inform me that “in
some returns of banks to the Town As-
sessors, the pTOportion of capital stock
.‘,.-.
deducted.” And you ask, “as the Tree-
sury of the State is interested, what,
course Assessors should take in making
out the lists of taxable property?”
In reply, I call your attention to the
law of the United States, which provides
that “all stocks, bonds, and other secu-_
rities'of' the United States, held by indi'
viduals, corporations and other associa-
tions, within the United States, shall be ’
exempt from taxation, by or under State
authority.” It isuuder the Operation of
this law that=the‘ banks claim that the
stock held by their stockholders is exempt
from state taxation.
Now, please observe: ,There is no law
of this State” taxing either’United States
securitieswheu heldflby bdhks or indi-
viduals; neither does any law tax the
banks ou‘their capital stock, but the law.
does tax individuals, or persons, residing
in the several towns, of this. State, and
alsoisome non-residents.“ On what? Not
on United States securities held by them
or by the banks Of, which they hold stuck:
shares, but solely and simply on such
amount ‘of money as. they may have in?
vested in the stock of such bank.
Again. The banks of this .State are
not directed or authorized by any law to
make out their return in the manner you
describe. I am~ inclined to think you;
should decline to receive them in such
form, because they are not in conformity
to. the requisitions'of the. law; they are
required only to report to the Assessors
such amOunt of their capital stock as
may be held hypersons residing in‘ their
towns, and the market value thereof.
Your course, therefore,'is plain under"
the laws of this State which authorize.
your Official existence and prescribe your
duties. You are to be “intermed by the
cashier of each bank in your tOwn, of
the names of the persons residing in such
town, and owning stock in such bank, of
the amount of stock owned by each, and.
its market value.” .You have nothing to
do with the “securities” held by the
bank, or the manner in which their capi-
tal or the funds of- their depositors may
have been invested. ‘
You are also directed to set “the
shares owned by any person resident in
your town of the capital stock of any
bank in the list of such owner,” as so
much personal property liable to taxa-
tion under the laws of this State. You
will perceive that, in this case, the per-
son so taxed'holds, or owns, no United
States securities, and" therefore he hasuo
claim to be exempt from the tax levied
upon him by “State authority ;” and, as
the law taxes the individual, and not the
bank, the bank has no right to deduct
from its return any amount of the stack
held by any person, nOr in. any manner
depreciate the value of such stock when
inserted in the Town Assessment List.
The whole number of shares, at their full
market value, must. be returned, and no-
thing more than that. ' ' ' _
Any doubt that may arise as to the
validity of the Statelawon this subiect, _
can only be determined by the Supreme
Court,'snd until such decision be ob-
tained, the Town Assessors and Cashiers
of Banks must' perform the duties imy
posed upon them by the Statute in the“
manner prescribed thereinf ‘

Messrs. Editors, why not all of the Mer-

recreation. The evenings are gettiugto-
be quite longnow and people will be just ,
as well satisfied to purchase their goods
before 8 o’clock as 10. Danbury goes

this humane movement. Clerks will
have some recreation, and if they cannot
take it in season, they will out of sea-
son. If our merchants are not willing
to close their stores early, let, them all
agree to allow their clerks the privilege of
leaving when; the clock strikes eight-and
if they then wish to keep their stores

Highhanded Treason in Ohio:
An extraordinary case of treason has.re-'
cently come to light,. implicating several
persons in conspiring to release the Rebel
prisoners at Camp Chase, and overthrow the
State Government. ; . .
' The plot, as disclosed to the detectives,
was, that an attack was to be made on Camp
Chase, release the Rebel prisoners confined
therein, numbering some 3,500, seize the
arsenal at Columbus, take possession of the
Penitentiary, release John Morgan and the
other officers confined there, and, then was
to commence aRebel campaign in Ohio.

Important Invention;
,,The ,Washington correspondent of the
Tribune, says: Messrs. William B. Bar-
uar'd sud Samuel G. _Blackman, citizens
of Waterbury, Conn, have devised a
, mOde 'o'f copper-sheathing for'irou vessels,
which, it is thought by.naval’ experts,
will eflcct an entire revolution in marine
construction throughout the civilized lauu.
~ The great superiority of'iron over wood
' for‘shipsshas been fullyappreciated by
all: maritime nations. But, thus far, no
perfect mode has been discovered by
which the fouling of irop bottoms, and
their'rapid corrosion and consequent de-
struction, could be obviated, although
the inventive genius. of both Europe and
America had , seemingly exhausted itself
upon the subject.’ By the‘simple yet
very ingenious device‘ of these inventors
the copper is attached to the ir0u surface
innsheets, as; upon wooden vessels, and
. with almost the some mechanical rapidi-
ty, while a perfect insulation from con-
tact ‘is secured, and thus all galvanic
. action arrested. The discovery has eli-
' cited the gravest‘interest-amoug all our
scientific saVans, and at the New De-
partment. The Naval Scientific Board
have had‘ it under careful examination,

ST. HELENA ISLAND, S. 0.,
October 17, 1863.
DEAR UNCLE: Well, the regimenthus
made another move, and we are now on-
vcamped: on ‘Ststelcnu Island; but osgweg
have been here but a short time, it"‘is'
impossible to give you any description;
We landed last night, the 14th; ,bqt.
think I shall like it very much; at~any-;
rate it is much better thau'Morris Island.
But there islnot many Of us that flatter
ourselves that we have left Morris Island:
for any great length of time. There are
also several rumors as to the cause of our;
leaving that Islaud' and coming here,-—“l
the main one is, that we are to learn a
new drill—that is, drilllng in boats, and.
that idea is strengthened by the number.
of small boats that have been landed
here today. They are built like a skifi‘,’
only square at the stern and bow like a
scow; they ore to hold, I should judge,
about 18 persons. The talk is, too, that
wegare to have new rifles, (the Spencer-
.rifle)-'-a breach-loading piece, I' believe.
What the idea is, I do not know, nor
shall I venture to guess, even if. guessing
is a-perq'uisite that belongs to the Yanks.
We are about five miles abovethe‘
landing at Hilton Head, on the other
side of the river, and on the same .side
as Bay Point, where the Robs had Bat-
tery Beauregard when Port Royal was
taken. There is communication every
I day with Beaufort and the Head, so we
shall not want for news, if, any comes.
., ,When we get the ground cleared .of
_ rubbish, woman, have a very pleasant
spot, as it is close by the river; but we
shall miss the noise of the surf, like we
had on Morris Island, also the sound of
the cannon and shells bursting. _- It
seemed a little singular to have every-
" thing so quiet, but I do nay-expect it
will last very long. It is, not to be ex—
pected that we shall stay here long in
, “masterly inactivity.” It would not look
well—we get paid for fighting, and fight
we must. By the way—how about that
$50 for the old troops? I do not hear
anything about that now a. days. . Does
it take all the money to pay the new re-
cruits and the drafted ones or their, sub-
snbstitutes $300? There is a great many
in the service that would like to get even
that $50—your humble servant for. one.
But I suppose there is no Use of talking ,g
'or thinking about that—the honor is
enough. The drafted men get the same
pay as ourselves, and the bounty, and I
cannot see the justice Of giving them the
three hundred dollars; and I am not
afraid to certify that I speak the minds
of more than two-thirds of the three
years’ troops in this department. But we
intend to do the best we can, let what

' I believe there is to be another regi-
ment here with us—we were in hopes it
would be the 10th Conn. Volunteers—
but we hardly think it probable, as , that
regiment is greatly reduced by sickness;
in fact our sick list is pretty extensive at
the presrnt time, but we are in hopes to
gain here, and probably will if they do
not drill us too hard. But I must close.

THE PENALTY or BEING A UNION MAN.
While therebels in the'field are fighting
our brave soldierswith the weapons of
honorable warfare, their sneaking allies
at the North adept a more cowardly
coursemresorting, in secret, to burning
the property, or taking the lives of Union
men,'if the opportunity is favorable to
th eir infernal designs. The latest instance
oft-heir tender mercies 'was brought to,
our notice yesterday. 'Mr. Samuel Mead
a worthy farmer of Greenwich, Conn.
whose shining loyalty was a burning re-
proach to the malignant Copperheads of
his vicinity, and whose gray hairs ' Ought
to have commanded the respect of even
Northern rebels, had‘ his‘barn tetallyde-
stroyed by fire on Tuesday night, Oct.
27th. The barn-was- 30x66 feet, ~filled
withhay and grain and about 75 barrels
of apples.- "The sheds “adjoining, contain-
ing his poultry and a large portion of his
farm implementawere also burn'ed‘: His
loss is estimated nt~$2,000, of which only
$750 was insured. This is a serious blow
to=a Worthy poor man, Whose only crime
was his loyalty to the Government of his
country. " For there is no doubt: that the
torch of- the incendiary consumed his
property, and it is‘ believed that the dc-
structiou of his dwelling was also design- -
ed, but, fortunately, a friendly breeze -'
blew the- flames in the 0pp08ite'dll'ectloll.
Is not this one of the fruits of an evil ex-
ample.——N.- Y. Tribune. '

that warm afternoon, when the column
.halted in a large field. We were soon at

wouldbe our camping-ground for six
days. Nothing of interest transpired
during those hot sultry days.

probably had gone towards DiXie; The
places of business were closed, probably
for the want of goods, which are gener-

they mustcome back into the Union be-

to pass the old‘ battle-ground which has
been noted for two battles—one. when
two destroyed the gnnboat COttou, and
also of the 13th and 14th of April last.
we finally passed the spot; the old re-
mains of the gunbout were visible-in the
Bayou, but nothing but weeds were to:
b'e-seeu to denote the field. The breast-2
works which were used by the Rebs at
the time have been all leveled down by
our troops. This time we had no fight-
ing, but We do not know is here we shall
meet them, nor do we care, for they are
sure to skedaddle when we get near them,
as they have already began to move.
We also passed old Camp Bislaud, which
was occupied by one Of'our divisions
which got there three days before. A
great many of the boys came out to
greet us as we passed. We marched 12
miles that day, where we are still eu-
camped, taking. ourturn at picket, and

To Maj.» Gen. H. W Halleck General-
inoChief:
In the fight of last night the enemy
attacked Gen. Geary’s division posted at
Wautatchic, on three sides and broke his
‘camp-at one point, but was driven back
in the most gallant style by part of his
force, the remainder being held in reserve
Gen. Howard whilst marching to Geary’s
relief, was attacked in the flank, the cue-
my occupyiug in force two commanding
hills on the left of the road. He immedi-
ately threw forward two of his regiments,
and took both at the point of the bayo—
net, driving the enemy from his breast-
works and across Lookout Creek. In
this brilliant success over their old adver-
sary, the conduct of the officers and men
Of the 11th and 12th corps is entitled to
the highest praise. (Signed) ’
GEORGE H. THOMAS,
. Maj-Gen. Comd’g.
We have received our files of Southern
papers, says the Tribune, embracing those
of as late a date as the 27th ult. The
reports from Lee’s army throw no light
on the situation. There has been con-.
siderable skirmishing in Southwestern
Virginia, with no apparent advantages
on either side. The preparations in Texas
for the support of the Union forces are
said to be progressing actively. The de-
feuCes of Sabine Pass have been mate-
rially strengthened, and the. guuboat
Clifton, captured from us, has been put
in fighting trim. An interview between
Commissioners Meredith and Gold is
given, in which it is made to appear that
our Government has come to the con-
clusion to cease further negotiations for
the exchange of prisoners. The food ques
tion still, occupies much attention in Rich- ,
moud. The Rebel authorities are imé
pressing food by wholesale, and the poor
women and children are even denied the
shin-bdues which formerly were distri- '
buted to them. Experiments have recent-
ly been made with a newly compounded
Greek fire at Mobile, and with a satisfac-
tion which makes it appear to be fully as
deprecated. The Richmond Examiner,
in i' an article on thesei‘zurc of the Rebel
rams, confesses t. the great loss the Con-
federacy has met with, and sets about
abusing the English government with its
accustomed vituperatiou. The Whig rid-
,_ icules the President’s last call for volun-
teers, and says that a large number of
men may be secured by excessive bouu.
ties, but they will be the scum of society,
unfit for soldiers.
The news from Chattanooga is" really
cheering. All anxiety concerning the
communications of our army has been:
removed by a masterly stroke Of strategy
at one point, and a sanguiuury battle and
decided victory at another. Gen. Hook-
er’s command at Brown’s Ferry, on the
Tennessee River, near Chattanooga, was
attacked by the Rebels at midnight on
Thursday, and a severe fight ensued,
which lasted two hours, and continued
with less severity until 4 o’clock, A. M.
The Rebels were repulsed in every at-
.tack, and driven from every positionthey
assumed. The result of this engagement,
is considered of . the highest importance,
as it removes the Rebel obstructions to
steamboat navigation to Brown’s Ferry,
and secures other advantages in opening
up the way for army supplies. The ope-
rations of Gen. Smith on Tuesday were
also of great importance, inasmuch as
they, secured two wagon roads and the
use of the riser us lines for supplies. We
think we may now look for even more
important movements soon in that direc-
tion.
CHARLESTON.—On Tuesday three heavy.
'guus threw one Greek Fire shell each into
the city of Charleston. Other guns were
. ready to Open upon the city. Circumstan-
ces caused Gen. 'Gillmore to Open on the
city sooner than he had expected. Our
batteries were also at work on Johnson,
Sumter, and Moultrie. The rebels repli-
‘ed rcservedly. Four Monitors were: in
position off Sullivan’s Island.
