The Collectors of State arid County Tax es are authorized to receive the relief Or ders, as cash (granting the percentage the same as on money,) and taxpayers will con fer a benefit on the holders of these orders, and at the same time relieve the treasury, by lifting and paying them over to collec tors. They can always be obtained at the Banking House of Wm. Russell and sun dry stores in Lewistown; from Dr. Maclay, >1 i 1 roy ; Joseph Hoar, Belleville; D. G. Lantz, Allenville; Wm. Macklin, MeVey tuwn; John Purcell, Newton Hamilton. At the last meeting of the Board a res olution was adopted extending the pay ments to the time when the troops will be paid off, after which satisfactory testimony is to be produced that the party making application is unable to make a living without, aid. U. S. Taxes. As there seems to be a general misunder standing among farmers and many others as to the taxation imposed by this State and the general government, probably owing to the vile course pursued by the self-styled democratic press, we will give a plain state ment of the tax laws now in force, as well as of the bill reported in Congress. Ist. At the extra session of Congress in July of last year a general tax was laid, Pennsylvania's proportion of which was about equal to the State tax at present iui posed—say 2J mills. This contained a provision that the several States might as sume its payment directly, and in pursu ance of this, our Legislature passed a law authorizing the Governor, Auditor General and State Treasurer to adjust said tax with the I. S. Treasury. This was effected by bringing in the bills of the State for fur nishing clothing, subsistence, &c., to the Pennsylvania troops, which had been paid for out of the 53,000.000 borrowed from the banks and individuals last summer— consequently there was no extra tax asses sed for this year. 2d. A half mill special tax was imposed by the Legislature at the extra session last year, which was intended to meet the in terest on the 53,000,000 borrowed by the State, and is of a temporary character. This is the only real additional taxation thus far. From this it will be seen that the croak ing about taxes, so prevalent among a set of political mountebanks, has no foundation to rest upon at this time. Personal prop erty, incomes, liquors, manufactures, kc. form the main basis of the new bill, and are pretty well distributed. Between this and the change in the post office laws ! to take effect on the Ist Juiy, the editor of the Gazette will probably pay S2O or §25 more for paper, ink, &c., and at least an equal sum for postage, and if icc can put up with such items without grumbling, oth ers might well hold their peace. Connecticut Election. The Union Republicans and Union Democrats have swept the State of Con necticut, like a whirlwind. This state has usually gone Democratic in party times; but we rejoice to ace that loyal men of all parties, in this crisis of our country, repu diate party altogether. Last year the Union majority was only two thousand; now Gov. Buckingham has nearly nine thousand; and the Legislature is unani mous for the Union. Every party demo-1 crat so far as heard from, is defeated.— Union democrats and Republieans have been every where successful. tri.-A significant fact occurred in Congress last week when tbo vote v\as taken to tax alaves. The abolition ists united with the pro-a'.avcry men north and south and defeated the measure.

Official Report of Com. Foote from Island No. 10 WASHINGTON, April 9.—The following des | patch was received this morning at the Navy Department: FLAGSHIP BENTON, ISLAND No. 10, j VIA CAIRO, April 8. j Hon. Gideon Welles. Secretary of the Xavy: j I have to inform the department that since I gent the telegram last night announcing the surrender to nie of Island No. 10, possession has been taken of both the bland and the I works upon the Tennessee shore by the gun j boats and the troops under the command of i Gen. Dufurd. Seventeen officers and thre° hundred and sixty-eight privates, besides one hundred of their sick and one hundred men employed upon the transports, are in our hands uncon ditionally as prisoners of war. 1 have caused a hasty examination to be made of the forts, batteries and munitions of war captured. There are eleven earthworks with seventy heavy cannon, varying in cali bre from 32 to 100 pounders, rifled. The magazines are well supplied with powder, and there are large quantities of shot and shell and other munitions of war, and also great quantities of provisions, four steamers afloat have fallen into our hands, and two i others, with the rehel gunboat Grampus, are sunk, but will be easily raised. The great floating battery r.f the enemy of sixteen heavy guns, turned adrift by the rebels, is said to he lying on the Missouri shore, below New Madrid. The enemy upon the mainland appear to have fled with great precipitation after dark last night, leaving in many cases half prepar , ed meals in the'r quarters, and there seems ; to have been no concert of action between i the rebels on the Island and those occupying ■ the shore, hut the latter fled, leaving the for mer to their fate. The works, erected with the highest engi neering skill, are of great strength, aud with their natural advantages would have been impregnable, if defended by men fighting in i a better cause. A combined attack of land and naval for ces would have taken place this afternoon or j to morrow morning had not the rebels so has tily abandoned their stronghold. To mature I these plans of attack had required twenty- I three days of preparation. Gen. Pope is momentarily expected to ar rive with his army at this poiut, he haviDg successfully crossed the river yesterday under a heavy fire, which no doubt led to the hasty abandonment of the works last night. I am officially informed that the two gun boats which so gallantly ran the fire of the rebel batteries a few nights since, yesterday attacked and reduced a fort of the enemy op posite, dismounting eight heavy guns. I regret that the painful condition of my foot, still requiring the use of crutches, pre vented me from making a personal examina tion of the works. I was therefore compelled to delegate Lieut. Commanding S. Phelps, of the flag ship Benton. A. 11. F 'UOTF, Flag Officer, Commanding Naval Forces. Gen. Pope's Official Report. EXPEDITION-ART FORCES, F NEW MAORXD, MO., April 9. j Major General 11. IV. Ilalleck: The canal across the peninsula opposite Island No. 10—and for the idea of which 1 am indebted to Gen. Schuyler Hamilton—was completed by Col. BisselPs Engineer Ilegi mcnt, and four steamers worebroughttbrough on the night of the 6th. The heavy batteries I had thrown up below Tiptonville complete ly commanded the lowest point of the high ground on the Tennessee shore, entirely cut ting off the enemy's retreat by water ; his re treat by land has never been possible through the swamps. On the night of the 4th, Can. Walker, of the navy, ran the enemy's hatter ies at Island No. 10, with the gunboat Caron delet, and reported to me here. On the night of the 6th the gunboat Pittsburg also ran the blockade. Our transports were brought into the river from the bayou, where they had been kept concealed, and at daylight on the 7tli had Paine's division loaded. The canal had been a prodigiously laborious work. It was twelve mites long, six miles of which were through heavy timber which had to be sawed off by hand four feet under water. The enemy lias lined the opposite shore with batteries, extending from Island No. 10 to Tiptonvillc, Mcrriweather Landing, to pre vent the passage of the river by this army. I directed Capt Walker to run down with j tho two gunboats at daylight on the 7th to the point selected for crossing, and silence the enemy's batteries near it. He perform ed the service gallantly, and I here bear tes timony to the thorough and brilliant manner in which this officer discharged his difficult duties, with me. and to the heart and earnest zeal with which, at all hazards, he co opera ted with me. As soon as he signaled me, the boats con taining Paine's division moved out from the . landing and began to cross the river. The . passage of this wide, furious river, by our | large force, was one of the most magnificent ! spectacles lever witnessed. By twelve o'clock that night, the 7th, all the forces designed to cross the river ware over, without delay or ac cident. As soon as wo commenced to cross, tho en j cmy began to evacuate Island No. 10 and his batteries along the shore. The divisions were pushed forward to Tiptonville as fast as they landed, Paine's leading. The enemy was driven before hiin, and, although they made several attemps to form in line of battle and make a stand, Paine did not once deploy his columns. The enemy was pushed ail night vigorously, until, at 4 oclock A. M., he was I driven back upon the swamps and forced to surrender. Three generals, seven colonels, seven regiments, several battalions of infan try, five companies of artillery, over one hun I h Runs, twenty four pieces of hold artillery, an immense quantity of amrau j nition and supplies, several thousand stand : ot small arms, a great number of tents, lior | han<Js Va "^ ° nS| G * C ' c * c * ' iav G fallen into our I Before abandoning Island No. 10, the ene ! my sunk the gunboat Grampus and six of his transports.

Of Colonel Bissell, of i tlie engineer regiment, I can hardly say too ! much. Full of rconnrcc. untiring and defer mined, he labored night and day, and com pleted a work which will be a monument of enterprise and skill. We have crossed this great river with a large army, the banks of which were lined with batteries'of the enemy to oppose our pas sage : h n re pursued and captured all his for ces and material of war, and have not lost a man, nor met with an accident. .JOHN POPE, Major General. The Advance into Alabama. WASHINGTON, April 14—The following des patch has been received by the Secretary of War. dated Nashville to day : "On Saturday morning, two expeditions were started from liuntsville, .ila., in the cap tured cars. One under Col. Sill, of the Thirty third Ohio, went east to Stevens, the junc tion of the Chattanooga with the Memphis and Charleston railroads, at which point they sei zed 2,000 of the enemy, who were retreating, without firing a shot, and captured five loco motives, and a large amount of rolling stock. " The other expedition, under Col. Turch in, of the Nineteenth Illinois Regiment, went west, and arrived at Decatur in time to save the railroad bridge, which was in flames. "Gen. Mitchell now holds a hundred miles of the Memphis and Charleston Railroad." The great battle anticipated near Corinth, Mississippi, has taken place thirty miles this side, near Pittsburg Landing, in Tennessee, and has resulted in a glorious, thougli bloody victory to the Federal arms. It seems that Beauregard essayed a movement against Grant's forces precisely like that attempted by Zollieoffer at Somerset, Kentucky, so dis astrousiy, against the force of General Thorn as, as will be remembered. Learning through his scouts and spies of the rapid approach of Buell's army to form a junction with Grant, and dreading lest their combined strength would soon and surely overwhelm him at Corinth, he left his entrenchments there, and by a forced march sought to roach and defeat Grant at Pittsburg Landing, before Buell could get up to him. Buell, however, mana ged to get two full divisions to Grant's sup port in due time. The battle lasted two en tire days, and there can be no doubt enter tained that at the closa of the first day Gen. Grant was defeated, with the loss of thirty six cannon, and had been driven out of his .•amp by overwhelming numbers. On being reinforced by General Buell during Sunday night, the lost guns were recaptured on Mon day, along with a number of those of the ene my, who was routed and fled, after General A. Sidney Johnson was killed. The Rebel loss is roughly estimated at 10,000 in killed, wounded and prisoners so far taken by our army, who are, by the latest accounts, in pur suit; while the Federal loss is set down at about seven thousand killed wounded and prisoners. The result of this victory is re garded as involving the entire destruction of Beauregard's plan of the campaign in the Southwest. With the overwhelming defeat of the Rebels at Island No. 10, it must amount to a seriou.s disorganization of the rebellion in that quarter. If the other divisions of Gen. Buell come up in time to follow up the blow at Corinth, it may result iu the entire dispersion of the great rebel army. The loss of Federal officers arc also great, including the gallant Gen. Wallace badly wounded, and Gen. Prentis wounde 1 and a prisoner. The boily of Gen. A. Sidney Johnson was left on the field by the flying rebels. II had just entered on his duties as Commander in Chief of the whole rebel fores, under the appointment of Jeff. Davis. Gen. Johnson was undoubtedly the ablest officer in the whole rebel service. A despatch from Cairo of Saturday to the Navy Department announced the de parture of Com. Foote's flotilla for Fort Pillow, the next rebel defence on the Mis sissippi below New Madrid. Wc have advices from Gen. Hunter's Department to Monday, the 7th inst., by an arrival at New York. No movements of importance had taken place in the vi cinity of Port ltoyal, but Gen. Hunter was actively engaged in preparations for his campaign. The bombardment of Fort Pulaski has not yet commenced, the origi nal intention of commencing it 011 the Ist inst. having been given up—oll account, probably, of the change of commanders. It was reported that a messenger from Sa vannah had succeeded in reaching the fort, notwithstanding the blockade, and had giv en assurances to the garrison that the first gun fired upon the fort should be the sig nal for the march of thirty thousand men to their relief. It was reported also that another iron clad monster, similar to the Merrimac, had been constructed at Savan nah, and had already made a trial trip down the river. From Fortress Monroe, we have intelli gence that the rebel Steamers Merrimac, Jamestown and Yorktown, came out be tween Newport News and Sowall's Point, on Friday, and captured three small Union vessels, one empty and one loaded with coal. The Stevens battery Naugatuck fired four or five rounds at the Merrimac, when she, with the others, returned to Craney Island. LATEST NEWS. The Savannah Republican of the 12th inst., announces the unconditional surren der of Fort Pulaski upon the preceding day. Seven large breaches were made in the walls by our batteries of Parrott guns at King's landing, and all the barbette guns on that side and three casemate guns were dismounted. Three balls entered the magazine. Col. Olmstead, the rebel commander, sig nalled the day previous to surrender, that our fire was so terrible that no human be ing could stand upon the parapet for even a moment. •®~The locofoco papers say it will take 26,000 per sons to collect the U.

With such teachings as the democratic tory print in that county inculcates, it is no wonder that such acts are perpetrated.

He has captured, 90 he says, 36 pieces of artillery and 8,000 prisoners, and fallen back on Corinth, which he is " fully able to hold." ®3The Breckinridge democracy North,both presses end politicians, are howling at the passage of an act by Congress to abolish slavery in the district of Co lumbia.

Whatever its effects, these "ica lerinjplace*" have a reputation not inferior to our own Saratoga, and great numbers surely obtain relief at them from eruption?, ulcera tions, and sores, which are so afflicting al ways to a half civilized people. Yet I find all classes have more confidence in Or. Ayer's Extract of Sarsaparilla, than in the impreg nated waters or any compound of the root that they can make. Those who can afford to buy it, do so, and it is in very general use here, curing them surer aud quicker than they can get relief without it.
