Id- Reading matter an . page. THE RAILROAD TAX. We are almost daily inquired of "what is to be done about the railroad tax ?" This is .a question of most difficult solu tion. The tax, to the amount of twenty seven mills upon the dellar of valuation, --has been assessed, and under existing laws becomes a lien upon real estate, which is liable to be sold therefor, if not paid. This enormous tax is levied this year in compliance with the orders of the Supreme Court in order to liquidate back interest upon the bonds. In future years it cannot be so heavy. Our people are now paying their taxes, but this railroad tax they almost unanimously omit to pay, believing that some just and equitable compromise will yet be made with the holders of our bonds. Equity between man and man—common justice under all the circumstances of Llle case—demand of the bond-holders a uompromise.— Snch a compromise would be met in spirit of fairness by the tax payers of our county, but the case at present stands they believe that the demand of the lull amount will create a burthen too grievious to be borne in times like these, when na tional taxation is impending upon us so heavily. GENE6AL ITALLECK. The outcry against Celt.lleck, for which the country is-chiefly indebted to the editor of the Louisville Journal, has ended in smoke. The wuu who ViLl3 to have pre. ferred charges aa.ain.:t him ce_not be found. The cause of the c•hc!e traced back to the chagrin and vengeance of some disappointed speculntors in cot ton, who purchased a quantity of rebel. houses at S2O per bale, in contravention of all military orders, and HaHeck made t hem pay $BO per bale for it, and then uonfis eated it to the uSe of the H. S. Govern ment. The sharks retreated to Louisville and howled like wolves disappointed of their prey. It would be well if others of those who are speculating off. the chances of this war and growing rich off the ne cessities of the army were served likewise. Gen.Halleck is now iu Washington City, and in his position as Commander-in-Chief. to remain at the capital, seems to have the confidence, without envy, of the Presi dent, the cabinet, and the Generals of the army. His place is one of great respon• sibilityand immense power, and the nation sipects him to be equal to the position, and the occasion which has called him to that position. A PROVOST MARSHAL Tim .Dispatch seems to think that a Pro cost Marshal in this city would be a good institution. We Bee no need for such an officer." The laws of our State are not in terfered with, and we have the accustomed officers to enforce them. We decidedly object to the extension of military author. ity, except where it is absolutely necessa ry. Our courts, our magistrates, our sher iff and police can and will protect the cit izen in all his rights in any present emer gency. The sovereign power of Pennsyl vania is not yet so weak that her citizens desire martial law and a suspension of the writ of habeas corpus. DEGREE CONFERRED. At the annual commencement of Union College, Schenectady, N. Y., last week, the honorary degree of LLD. was con• ferred upon Hon. Wilson M'Candless, of his city, and also, at the eame time, upon Gen.

Notwithstanding the rumors that reach us daily of the movements of the rebel ar mies in Virginia, we are inclined to be lieve that after all the rebels are still act• ing upon a defensive policy. They arc menaced from so many quarters that an attacking movement on their part would he dangerous if not. fatal. They have, to fear (1) an attack by McClellan on the north bank of the James with his whole force*; (2) an attack on the south side of the James river with most of his force, assisted by the gunboats to Droteci his flank, and help against Fort, Darling: IL) an advance by Pope, which would cut them oil' from the Shenandoah valley, and lose teem Central Virginia, followed (4) by a simultaneous attack of Pope on the north and McClellan on the south of the city. It follows, therefore, that the rebels must keep three armies on the lookout— one to guard the south bank of the James river, another the north bank, and a third to watch Pope. This theory accounts for the appearance of a large rebel force on the Appomattox river, and for the rumors of-an early attack on Suffolk, but we do not believe the rebels seriously intend sending any considerable force away from Richmond, or of attacking either McClel lan or Pope. A. few weeks will tell the story. That they will make minor attacks or feints is very likely. They can easily do so with their large army, and it helps to keep their men in' heart. It is a grievous pity that the still magnificent army under Gen. McClellan is not occasionally used to cut off parties of the enemy's force. The latter are scat tered in gangs along the south bank of the river, and, as vast fleets are at the com mand of the militaryauthorities, it is diffi- cult to account for the want of enterprise which keeps the men sickening in camps, when aif occiciiial — dish at the enemy would put net, life in the rank and sle. and help recruiting at the North.

When the Duke of Portland died recently in England he tried to pre vent the marriage of his daughter, Lady Mary Bentinck, with Sir William Topham, by stipulating in his will that her dowry of £32,000 should be withheld in case she disobeyed his commands. The lovers were warmly attached, and Sir William carried the case into court, determined to have the lady and her portion with her. The court decided that the Doke had no right to encumber the apportionment of money under a marriage settlement with such ca pricious conditions, and the funds were made over to Lady Mary—whereupon the lovers were made happy. Lady Topham may enjoy her married life with means enough to sustain her tank among the aris tocracy of England.

FIAITIfF::iti MONROE, July 28. —Some days ago, as was reported. 1 learned that there was a large rebel force of infantry, caval ry and artillery being concentrated in the neighborhood of Petersburg, and along the bank of the .lakes river, between the junction the Appomattox and James rivers and Richmond. On Tuesday the 2.l;th instate., when the Union prisoners were being conveyed from Richmond to city point, at every side track and turn-out they passed trains of cars loaded with rebel troops, headed toward Richmond, and some rebel officers offered as an, apology for bringing down our prisoners on freight cars, that they were using all their passen ger cars in moving troops to reinforce Jackson. it is most possible that this was all a movement intended to disguise the fact that the rebels are now in strong force bet wen Richmond and the Appomat tox river, and still collecting forces and sending them in that direction: and what strengthens this opinion is the pains taken to inform our prisoner.; and officers in charge that the movement of troops was a reinforcement to Gen. Stone gall Jackson, and that no one knew where he was—but they knew how to reach him with rein forcements. The mail steamer arrived this p. from Harrison's Landing. but brings no news. „I uly 30.

WASHINGTON NE WB !REBELS LEAVING MINIMUM FOB TUE NOVTII. Ace., Mo., July 29.—At Steelville, on Sunday night, it was estimated that at least 1500 mounted and armed men had crossed the State road from Potosi to Jeff erson, within ten miles of that place, for Dixie. About 500 have organized and put out from; Salem and vicinity within the last three days. Within that time they have stampeded across the railroad in great numbers between Rolla and Maremec.— They take horses, clothing, arms, am munitions, and other supplies of every kind they require, wherever they find it. A merchant was robbed of one hundred dollars worth of clothing and goods, and two fine horses, on Sunday night. Other horses were ta ken from the same vicinity. This species of property is openly demand ed of the owners, and forcibly taken. Near Cuba , on Sunday night, a man was shot while defending his arms from seizure by bandits, and another had a rifle pointed at his head, with orders to bring his best horse from the stable and present the same to Jeff. Davis. As a train pass ed by yesterday there was drawn up within a short rifle range a large body of men, seemingly well equipped and estimated at 100, all believed to be bound for Price's army. At Steelvillethesecessionists were confident and boasting that Mcßride was within two days march of that place. Is otANAeous, July at.—The Demo cratic Convention assembled in Capital Square at 10 o'clock this morning. From three to five thousands persons ar., present. Thomas A. Hendricks, of Indianapolis, is President, Robert Lucas, Vice Presi dent, J. J. Bingham, editor of the Sentinel. Secretary. A committee, composed of one from each congressional district, was' appointed on resolutions. The President. on taking the chair, remarked that no Democrat would disturb the peace of the meeting, but probably outsiders would. and he recommended passing them by 1 without notice. No attempt has been made at disturbance—probably was not thought of. Gov. Wicklitf is now speak ing. He is. in favor of Union, provided Southern rights and slavery are not int erfi'r ed with. Before doing anything more, he would pause and see what we are fighting for. If to free the negro, let not another drop of blood be shed. He would hang the leading rebels, and .balance the rope with abolitionists. He said the abolition ists control every department of the Gov ernment, and were worse than the rebels. 1 Richardson, of Ills., Carlisle: of Va. . Voorhis, and others, were present. e p NILADELPIIIA, July 30.—The steamer Daniel Webster arrived with 177 released, wounded and sick prisoners from City Point, Va., including the following ' be longing to Pennsylvania regiments : James Collins, 3d; Allan Phillips, Bth; Wm Hinton, sth; Capt H L Brown, 83d: Chas Valence 92d: Wm Moffat, 53d; Beni Bennett, 3d: C 4 apt 0 0 Merrill, 57th; Gid eon Dean, 83d; S A White, 95th; Warren Garry, 83d; Capt .1 T Morris, 89th ; Jno B Young, 4th; Dennis M'Guire, 2d; Mi chael Fritz, 87th, dead; Jno Staler, 196th: Michael Conroy, 4th; Robt Goodfellow. 95th; .Ino Lynch, 9th; Cyrus S Francis, 83d: Francis J Knowlid, 83d; J A Fisher, 11th: Thos Hardee, 71st; Saml T Tingley, 83d; Wm Reid, 83d; Casper Ottenweller, 9th; Sergeant Jno C 23d; John Feusteasuacher, 42d; John M Lit tle, Fourth; Robert Graham, Eighty-first; Bernard Kelly, 81st: Henry Wagner, 9 8th; Wm.

Lloyd, of the 6th Ohio cavalry, commanding at Lu ray, yesterday, in pursuance of General Pope's order, arrested all the male inhabi tants in the town and lodged them in the Court House, preparatory to administer ing the oath of allegiance. This course is rendered imperatively necessary, from the fact that several left their homes and are supposed to have joined the guerrillas who. infest the West side of the South Fork, and in one instance captured our river pickets. A prominent secession far mer and son, residing near Little Wash ington, left homeyesterday for the moun tain, taking with them horses, equipments and arms. Last night our pickets were fired on by guerrillas in that vicinity, sup posed to be the farmer and son. All iicquiet at Culpepper at last advice?.

Our loss was ten killed and thirty wounded. The rebels left thirty-two dead on the field, and had about one hundred wound ed. The fight lasted three hours, when rebels fled in great confusion, Porter going east, and Cobb west. LITTLE WASHINGTON, VA., July 28.—A grand review of Gen. Banks' army corps took place to-day, two miles from town. Weather Sue. Several hours were oceu pied_ in field evolutions and manceuvrei by divisions.

NGT ON, July . 30.---A monument citizen of TexaS now here, and of 101 l known. Union proclivities, desires the truth of statements general of a person calling himself Rey. C. H. Clark, of that state, who recently addressed public meet. ings in Boston. Sam Houston, _whose son-in-law he claims to be, 'Ma bone - , un- less his eldest daughter, about sixteen years of age, has been married within the last two months. Lieut. Gov. Clark, whom the Rev. gentliman represents as his father, has but one son, and he a mere lad. If Houston is dead his &raise must have recently occurred. Gentlemen from Western Texas, where a fact of that importance would have certainly have been known, are ig - norard of such an oc currence of such au eve!,t. Col. Frank E. Ilowe has been here for several days conferring with - the linigeon General and the I.Var Department upon a subject of furloughs to sick and wounded soldiers.

The States he represents as : military agent in New York strongly urges some modifica tion of the order which'probibite the grant ing of furloughs. The Secretary of War has been disposed to nei promptly and humanely on this question, and it is believed that an order will be made establishing a board of medical otli eers to decide upon the furloughing of such persons recommended bY surgeons in charge of hospilals, and such only as may absolutely require a change. • Surgeon-General Hammond left Wash ington this morning on a tour of inspec tion to }Vest Delaware, and to-the islands and hospitals in New York and elsewhere.
