TAX GATHERERS.—Tio individual of the official community has a more on erous or unpleasant duty to perform than the tax collector. His "duty" is performed among all phases of human character; he is - obliged to approach the high and the low, the rich and the poor, and demand from each the Gov ernmental tithe; and even the fair sex are subjected to his unwelcome visita tion. But what need ho care; he has his duty to perform and perform it: he must. Ho knows ho has the Govern ment to sustain, and fooling the im portance of hie groat task, he dons the helmet of boldness and the visor of assumption and goes on his errand of gathering up the hard and easy earn ings, regardless of the whims and whimpers of his too often dilatory vic tims. The tax collector is a necessity—not exactly of war but Government; though in peace he prepares for war by sup- Plying the moans that build the ships and-erect the forts. Ho should there fore be honor'ed for the position ho holds by all good subjeCts of the pow ers that be, and.be sent away speedily with his receipt given and .his heart lighter. But let no tax-collector im agine himself a conqueror, and go forth more like the lion than the lamb. Ho will gain nothing by arrogantly assu ming himself the master, and the tax payer the dog. Civility and urbanity are the weapons of his warfare with which-he , can make the subject unbo som himself and unloose the purse string. Let him who is the gatherer remember this, and let the payer per form his "duty" without a murmur, unless indeed, taxes aro undeniably oppressive, and then have recourse to Lenox CONGRESS.—A National La bor Congress Met in • Cincinnati last week, and adjourned 'on the I.Bth. Several colored delegates were recog nized in the Convention, ono of whom was a Mr. Wears, of this State. The following platform and resolutions wore adopted by the Convention : First. That laborers in all depart ments of useful industry are suffering from a system of monetary laws made during the war. Second. That the rate of interest is disproportionate to and in excess of the national wealth: The third demands the repeal of the national banking system. Fourth. Greenbacks that aro not full legal tender should be withdrawn, and a currency based on the wealtn of the nation issued as a legal tender for all debts, public or private, converti ble into three per cent bonds; bonds also convertible into money, at the pleasure of the bolder. The fifth opposes payment in gold of 5 20 bonds, the principal of which is legally payable in lawful money. Sixth. The burden of the govern ment should bear equally on all etas-. see. Exemption of bonds bearing ex tortionate rates and high taxation lare violations of the first principles of la bor. Seventh. The tariff should be mod ified to admit the necessaries of life and such articles of common use as wo can neither produce nor grow, duties for revenue to ho mainly laid on arti cles of luxury; such articles as we have the material in abundance will developo the resources of the country, increase the number of factories, give employment to more laborers, cause the immigration of skilled labor, cre ate a permanent home market for agri cultural products, destroy tho•neoessi ty-for odious and expensive internal taxation, and soon enable us to com pete with the manufacturers of Europe. Eighth.. The public lands belong to people, and should not be sold to indi viduals nor granted to corporations, but saved as a . trust for the people, and granted free of.cost to . settlers in amounts only of 160 acres. Ninth. The. treaty-making power has not authority in the constitution to dispose of.the public• land :without the joint sanction of the Senate and House of Representatives. • . A CURIOI7B . DECISION.—The Supreme Court of Pennsylvania has decided that where by negligence sparks from lOootnotiVe 'set fire to a Warehouse near a railroad track, the railroad. com pany is liable for the damage done by the fire, but strange to say the same tribunal also decides that if another house caught from the flames of the burning building , set on fire by the lo coinotiverthe owner of the' said prom ises bas no :reniady. The railroad company, it was. held, was only re sponsible to the first person, who• by the negligence of the railroad compa ny's servants had his property set on fire and destroyed; but although the second sufferer was injured by precise ly the same .reasorq because 'the fire kindled by the- lOcOMOtive 'Spreed'to him, he had no remedy.

At Metz the French army received a coup de grace, and has since fallen back upon Verdun in a demoralized and shattered condition. The retreat has been most disas trous. Even individual soldiers were rendered desperate by the agony of the situation, and denounced in un measured terms the incompetency of their generals. The Emperor, is believed to be the actual commander of the army. BERLIN, August 18.—The details of the conflict of Point a Mousson have just been received. Marshal Bazaino, endeavoring to full back from Metz to Verdun, was attacked at nine o'clock on Tuesday morning by the Fifth Di vision, and forced to face about. The Prussians were admirably firm, though they sustained the attack of "four French corps, among them the Impe rial Guard. After fighting gallantly for six hours the Prussian Fifth Divi sion was reinforced from the Tenth Corps. These reinforcements arrived opportunely. The French found that a prolongation of the contest would be impossible, and they retired upon Metz with a loss of two thousand pris oners, two eagles and sovon cannons. The French utterly disregarded the convention Of Geneva, by mutilating the dead, firing on surgeon's ambul ances,&c. A Plausible Summary of theßeoent Movements The New York Tribune of this morn ing says : Tho remnant of MaeMahon's Corps, which escaped from the Vosges Moun tains after the battle of naguenau, re treated to Luneville, Nancy, Commer cy, and thence, it is inferred, fell back towards Chalons, closely pursued by the Crown Prince Frederick Wil with the army of the South.— On the 14th inst. the advance guard of this Prussian army had reached Blesme, 28 . miles by railway from Chalons. On the same day, the right wing of the prussians, known as the army of the Saar, under General von Steinmetz, appeared before the eastern walls of Metz, and carried, after four hours' fighting, the outer works of Belleet•oix. The French army under Bazaine evacuated Metz on the same night. • On the 13th, it encountered the centre of the Prussians, which had crossed the Moselle between Metz and Nancy, and had endeavored to seize the:road between Metz and Verdun by which Bazaine wished to retreat. it was for the possession of this road that the several engagements of Mon day, Tuesday and Wednesday were fought. The battle of Monday was under tho western walls of Metz; that of Tuesday was at Gravelotte, four miles west of Metz ; that-on the 17th instant was at Mars-la-T(4r, six miles from Metz. From present indications the French here gave up the struggle, and abandoning the road to Verdun, fled toward Etain. The Times publishes a special tele gram from Berlin this morning, which contains the following intelligence:— The French army has boon separa• ted by the victory of the Prussians at Mars-la-Tour. The main body has been forced back on Metz and brought to a stand by the first and second Ger man armies, under Prince Frederick Charles and General Steinmetz. The road is now open to Chalons for the Crown Prince, who has only General Trochu and some fragments of Marsh al MacMahon's crops to encounter on the way. The decisive event im pends. A Tremendous Battle on Thursday BERLIN, August 20, 8 a. m.—Tbe fol lowing telegraphic dispatch has just been received : A great battle was fought at Rezanville on Thursday.— The action was opened on Wednesday morning, and at the termination of the day our army occupied a strong position upon the field. On the morn ing of Thursday the battle was • re newed. The French were • command ed by Marshal Bazaine,andlfought dot perately. Our troops sustained their• assaults firmly. The, contest was fierce and prolonged. The battle was opened at eight in the morning, and for ten hours the action raged- furi ously. At nightfall the French, under Marshal Bazaine, wore totally defeat ed. Loss on both sides 40,000 in killed and wounded.

Strasburg from a point near Kohl begun on Friday morning and continued till noon, when it was suspended for two 'hours. The return fire from the garrison was al most harm less. PARIS, Aug. 20.—A Prussian officer, with a flag of truce, on Friday demand ed the surrender of Strasburg. He was received With shouts of the popu lace, "WO shall never surrender."

BRUSSELLS, August 20.—,—A Paris let ter to the Independence • Belge says McMahon is retreating 'on Paris, , and will avoid an engagement unless he ca n'form a junction with Bazaine. A council of war at Paris ordered as n defensive measure, or a partial destru - ction of Bois de Bologne. The - yolloW fever has prevailed"- to qnito an alarining extent in Philadel: phia. Eleven deaths occurred, but it is thought there will be no spread. HON. A. K. MCOLVIIE has published a letter in favor of calling a State Con vention to revise the Stake Constitu tion. The following are thO' principal reforms suggested by Mr. McClure: First. The increase of the number of legislators to • say one hundred Senators and five hundred Assembly men. The cost of such bodies meeting annually under proper constitutional regulations would not exceed the cost of our present Logisla,tures. In all States where there are 'large legisla tive bodies, corruption has never gain ed the ascendancy. Most of the Now England States forciblyi llustrate this fact. Second. Legislative powers should be restricted to. general laws. All pri vate remedies should be in the courts, and all appropriations by private bills prohibited. Fourth. All bills and all amendments thereto should be printed and on file before a final vote could be bad on thorn. Fifth. All increased appropriations for ordinary expenditures should re quire a two thirds vote in each branch and all bills authorizing the• creation of Stato debts (except to defend in war, repel invasion, or suppress insurrec tion,) with the bills creating the rev enue to liquidate such bebta, should require the sanction of a popular vote. Sixth. The session of the Legisla• ture should be limited to'sixty days, and the salaries of the officers fixed by the Constitution. Fully thirty nine out of every forty bills passed by our late Legislatures have been private bills. Sixty days would be ample time for the" 'consideration of all public measures. ' Seventh. All Legislators elect should bo required in qualifying as members, to swear or affirm that they have not, directly or indirectly, paid or promis ed any. thing of value to influence votes to elect them,' and that they have not received, and will not re ceive, anything of value in considera tion of any official act. Eighth. The State Treasurer should be elected by the people for a term of years, and the public funds placed beyond the reach of private specula tion. A Terrible Calamity. The Pt. Pleasant, (W. Va.) Journal learns, from a reliable source, the par ticulars of the following horrible affair, which occurred in Roane County a few days ago : A lady, whose name our informant had forgotten, residing upon the above named creek, had went down to it in the morning for the purpose of doing "the week's washing," taking with her the youngest child, an infant of about a year old, leaving her other three at the house. While engaged at her work she heard suppressed screams at the house. Taking up' her little child from the soiled clothes upon which it was sitting, she placed it in an empty washtub to keep it from crawling in. to the creek during her absence, and hastened to the house, where she met her oldest child with its head frightful ly disfigured and swollen. She hasti ly glOaned ( from this ono that the three children lied crawled under the house, iu search of eggs; that while under something had hurt them, and that the two other children were still un der the house. The mother upon looking under the house found them l i dead, with several moccasin snakes (a very poisonous and deadly species) crawling around their bodies. The neighbors wore alarmed, and by their assistance the snakes were killed and the unfortunate children taken out, their bodies-presenting a frightful and sickening appearance. By this time the elder ono was a corpse. The mother, in her despair and agony, had forgotten until now her little one at the creek, and upon going down to the creek for it it was only to find it also a corpse in the creek. It is supposed the little child climbed up in, the tub and was holding on to the lower edge of it when' the tub upset, rolling the child into the water below and drown ing it. It is said - the mother's grief was so groat that at last accounts she was a raving maniac. Terrible Disaster. NEW Yonit, Aug. 12.—Tbe Norwalk left Coney Island at 7 o'clock, and when coming through the narrows she mot the bark Lady Helen. It is said the Captain of the Norwalk did not give the right way.

It recites all the laws and treaties• between the United States, France and Prussia, and .forbids any citizen occupying a commission enter ing or enlisting in the service or hiring any other person to go beyond the lim its of the United States to engage with either of the belligerent powers. FATAL RESULT OP A BALLOON ASCEN SIGN.—The Saginaw, Michigan, Cour ier, of a recont date, says: The sports at the grounds of the Germania Socie ty, where a balloon was to have made an ascension yesterday, wore inter rupted - by an unexpected fatal acci dent. The furnace for generating hot air to inflate the balloon, together with apparatus pertaining to the_ balloon, were located on the east side of the grounds, on eitheraide of which wore two high poles similar to those used at tent-poles for circusses, stayed up with ropes. As the preliminaries prepara tory .to inflating the balloon were commenced, several men attempted to tighten the stay ropes.. Whether the rope broke, or -became loosened, the effect was the same. The polo toppled, and as the rope supporting it loosened, it fell with a crash among the crowd that had gath ered around to witness what was go ing on. All escaped but one, a wo man, who still kept her seat on one of the benches scattered about the ground, the polo striking her on the back of the bead and neck, 'and dis locating her neck, and probably caus ing instant death. The crowd gath ered around the fallen woman, and sbe was conveyed into the Germania school building near by. Several physicians were on the ground, but the woman was beyond all medical assistance. Deceased was probably twenty-five years of age. She was a woman of rather questionable char ter, and is known as the wife_ of Beno Kattaino, proprietor of the New Or leans saloon.
