In a short time, two volumes will be pub- lished in New York, which will be much read, and, we venture to predict, very gent ly criticised. Barth, indeed, must the critic be who could speak unkindly of "Memoirs of Lieutenant General 6corp, LL.D., written by Himself." With fullt respect for the age, the chara,cter, and the services of the veteian, the public will gladly receive his own story, from his own pen ) not too closely comparing his style with that of practiced writers, but gladly accepting the light which his personal ob• servations, knowledge, and experience, can throw upon many passages of our national history. Dr. WiNFIELD SCOTT has al ways been a plain, straight forward writer. His despatches are models of brevity and clearness. He has not disdained, in order to mark_tlie circumstances Under which he wrote, to Ineillibn—evorebikat4LbsiaLy prate of soup." He practiced law for a few yeaxs—his misfortune 'rather than his fault—before he: entered the;more conge nial military professibn, butrlis.s — eCier careful ly eschewed speech-making. Though.the Whig party ran him for the Presidency in 1852, he was no more-a politiCian than Joint WILKES, of strabismus - notoriety, was a, Wilhite. From the time he entered the army to his retirement, in Woven:L.6r, 1801, his services' cover a period of fifty-three years. He has a great deal to , relate, for he has been in the red battle in Cafiada ; in the contest with the Sacs and Foxes ; the Seminole war; in the conquest of Mexico, and, finally, as chief-in-command in the early part of the preient war. Nor is this all : Way - FIELD SCOTT acted as ne gotiator and diplomatist in Canada, :in 1812, in England, after the close, of the campaign which was ended with JACKSOWO victory 'at New Orleans ; in South Caro lina,-'when nullification had nearly - ripened into rebellion , ; again in Canada, in. 1839, after the burning of the Caroline had nearly caused hostilities between the Uni ted States and Great iiritain.; and in. 1859, when the Northwest boun dary difficulty again threatened to dis turb the amicable relations bet Ween the two great countries. Moreover, General SCOTT was in Paris very soon after the battle of Waterloo ' and there acquired the friendship of the leading captains of that great man, soldier and statesman, who had given Europe new and memorable lessons in the art of war, during twenty years. It is evident that, provided his memory re tains the particulars, General SCOTT has a great deal to communicate. • A singularly interesting work may be expected. It will occupy two volumes, containing .about eleven hundred pages, 'and will be pub lished by Messrs. SHELDON, New York. The number of military commanders who have :written their own Meraoirs is very small. First among them isXnaco- PIION, who, however, was rather historian and philosopher than soldier, though he was in the battle of Helium at the age of twenty-two, where, sharing in the general flight, he fell from his horse, and was rescued by Socnkm,s, who bore hint on his shoulders to a place of safety, andtrained hire up as his pupil. He was in the expe dition of Gnus the Younger againsWersia, but only us a civilian. When the Greek -army was -wholly disOrgralifitqlitter tife death of- CYRUS* in the battle lof 011naXti, XEROFTEION volunteered to conduct his coun trymen home, and, chiefl3r "under him, foh. lowed their memorable "Retreat," of which he has left a minute and graphic account in the " Anabasis." Scarcely less interest ing is the work written by JuLius °MUM.— the renowned " Commentaries"—in which he describes his campaigns in the Gallic War. Prince EUGENE, companion in arms of the famous MARLBOROUGH, wrote his autobiography ; so did Domouninz, a noted French general of the first revolution; whose exit from public life preceded the rise of NAPOPEON, and so, indeed, did NA.- roixow himself, who fulfilled at St. Helena the promise he had made to his soldiers at Fontainebleau, when he took leave of them on the eve of his departure for Elba, that he would record the great achievements they had performed together. It was WEL- LrEGTon's constant purpose, after sheath ing his sword at Waterloo, to have written his own Military Memoirs, but engagement in civil life and the almost constant neces sity, of daily recurrence, for administrating the direction of the army of England,_as commander-in-chief, prevented his carrying out this intention. However, he left suffi cient memo Pres pour servir, of which histo rians have already availed themselves largely, in his voluminous and important desPatches and correspondenee, edited, under his own supervision, by Colonel GURWOOD. It will thus be seenthat great soldiers have not added much to literature. Several of NAPOLEON'S captains have writ ten, books, it is true, but when these did not exclusively relate to campaigns in which they had served, they rather were contributions to Ms, history than records of their own. His, soldiers, what ever their rank, seem ever to have valued his fame far above any that could be claimed for themselves. ' WINFIELD SCOTT does well to place his. autobiography before - the world. All his life, he has emphatically been a' soldier. It has pleased God to make him a success ful one, and his own good conduct has pre vented any, blot upon his escntcheon. He is the American BAYARD, sans peur et' sans reproche." The life of such a soldier. must convey a great moral-- less4agAia; countrymen.

A MURDER IN UPPER XBRION, MONTGOTIRRY COUNTY.—A terrible tragedy was enacted at Mat sunk; in Upper MgriOn tOwnship, bn Thursday evening fortnight, which resulted in the death of Martin Burns. - It appears that Burns got on'" a drunk , ' and wont around abusing people generally. Re went to a-house where his wife was paying a visit -and drove her home, striking and otherwise abusing her on the way. Tie - then went to the house ,of Mrs. martin, and after conducting himself in a disorderly manner, went out, but had not proceeded far when he was met by John Rafferty, who is a brother of Mrs. Burns. Some words passed between them, and Rafferty was seen to make a motion as if throwing something at Burns, and then - strike him. Burns then staggered towards Raffertycwho seized him, anti they fell; Rafferty on top. Aiterseveral minutes the latter was taken off, and Burns.was laid on the railroad, and he expired in, about an hour and a half. Rafferty:was arrested and brought to Norris town, and had a hearing before '§quire Corson.— Norristown Press.

The Richmond and Atlanta papers of the latest dates contain nothing Important. The Examiner of the 29th ult., has the following concerning aniuse- In ants in Richmond: Theatricals partake of the prevailing dullness of the times, in the absence from the capital of citi zens and soldiers. At the theatre a succession of light pieces, comedies and farces are being played nightly, as more in keeping with the warm weather and their audiences. The invariable. fault of dull Bensons and. their houses exhibits itself woefully in the iediffer ontaud half-way preparations some of the actors and actresses make with their parts before attempting their recitation before an audience. W th opp ortsro exSeptiens, In whickw,awilljnehubs., rs. - De Ear and the Misses PArtington, the actors, male and female, are as ignorant of the text of their rOles as a set of school children called upon unex , pettedly to recite theft lessons. They imagine that because their audience is thin there is no criti cism. and perform upon the principle that a small audience requires less In proportion to please than a large one. The management should look to the correction of this evil, which wo perceive is a grow ing one. The free concerts on the Square are becoming an institution under the patronage of the Governor. This. evening the band will play Its sweetest airs again, the ladies and children will turn out. and the civilians and soldiers, who are not afraid of the anxious inquirers after their papers, will be on hand to assist the ladies in their promenade. The oon• certs occur every Tuesday and Friday evening. The electipp in North Carolina has taken place, and has .gone entirely against the peace.on-any terms faction, whose motives we of the North have been noting so earnestly. The samejournal says: Yesterday the people of our sister State of • North Carolina voted for a Governor, and the sol diers from that State, in camp and hospital in Rich mond, exercissp the inestimable rights of freemen in Resting their votes for the candidate of their choice. But two tickets wore in the hold, the Conservative ticket, with Z. V. Vance, the present Governor, for its candidate, and the "What is It?" or peace-on any-terms ticket of Holden. At the Camp Winder Hospital, - where there are over thirteen hundred North Carolinians; the polls were opened late, but by 1 P. rd. three hundred and tiny-four votes were recorded for Vanoe. One inmate, said to be crazy, getup and Voted for Holden, and went back to bed. In all the hospitals of Richmond, whore North Caro line solders were quartered, the aggregate vote was : For Vance, 967 ; Holden, in. The Atlanta Appeal of the 29th nit; has an article on "The Crisis in Georgia," that seems to us to be rather contrary to generay-received ideas here in the North. If what the Appeal says is true, the "want-of men" idea will be exploded like its twin sister, the "want-of-food" notion. It was asserted not many months ago, and the assertion was trusted, , that the rebels 'would be "soon starved out," Sub . sentient experience, however, taught us that they would be no such thing. Now the belief is that their stock of men is exhausted ; but that can hardly be, if, as the Appeal-says, there are able-bodied men enough In Georgil and Alabama, not in the army, "to annihilate tihertnan'e army or drive-it howling back to the Ohio river." Subjeined Is the article : " The proves which the enemy hail made toward the heart of the Confederacy, and the enterprise he has manifested by his raids upon our railroads *and undefended points, ought to convince , our people that there is no security from danger but im&tive, energetic self-defence. The people of the Gulf States have so a long lived remote from the actual theatre of the war - that they have flattered them selves with the belief that their homes would never be visited by the relentless invader. The events of the last few weeks will servo to disabuse them of this fond delusion, and teach ' them that if they would continue to Hire as freemen, they must arm and rally to the front in their own defence. The guns of the tyrant fon are now thundering at their very doers, and supinenee and inaction now are criminal; yea, suicidal. No one will, for a mo- • went, deny but there are able-bodied men enough in the States of Georgia. and Alabama either to anni hilate Sterman and his army or to drive them howl ing back to the Ohio river. Will they not, at a crisis like this, come promptly to the rescue, and aid our veteran soldiers in sue good and holy cause If •thoso living south of us would defend their homes, their property, their liberty, and the 'rights they have Inherited from a hvrole ancestry, Dew is the time and:Atlanta the place to make that 'defence. With them ,delay ie not only dangerous, . but-fatal;' for although our gallant army still stands between them and the toe, it• may prove too ' Weak to withstand. the hosts that are being hurled against it. There is no safety to any. one now living •In the 'Sinitic but in the defeat of Sherman's army. • With the united efforts and numbers of. the people and the army this can bo effectually done within the next two or three weeks. The Government has 'DOW arms to place in the hands of every man and boy who is ready and willing to defend his country sail his home. 'lt is not now as it was In the earlier stages of the war, when men refused to enter the service because of the scarcity of arms, and when the Government bad nothing to offer them but shot guns and Irish pikes. Arms are now plentiful, and what is now needed Is men and boys to load and shoot them. Come up, then, without hesitation or delay, to the rescue of your country and the defence of your own homes and firesides. A few weeks more and it. ' may be too late. If, through the listless indifference and slothfulness of tie people, General Hood is compelled to give up Atlanta, large districts of country now protected by his' army will be exposed to the devastating raids of the enemy; thousands who now have homes they can all their own, will have them no longer, and they themselves be driven outcasts and beggars upon the world. Let us, then, hope that. in view of the danger; that now threaten them. so Imminently) the people of Ala bama and Georgia will think seriously, and act wisely and promptly in . thls matter. Let them cease pray in g to Hercules, and put their own shoul ders to the wheel. All will then be well.. ALIEN CONSCRIPTS IN THB EBBBL SERVICE.— A ease pending before the " Confederate States District Court." In Richmond has, developed the fact that there are some twenty' thousand foreign conscripts in the rebel service. The 08/345 alluded to is that of an English alien named R. D. Ogden, en actor by .proleasion, who was drafted an d forced Into the ranks while performing an en gagement at the Richmond theatre. He presented a paper from the British comml at Mobile, show ing that he was an. alien ; but as Jeff Davis re fused to recognize British consuls, the paper was rejected, and Ogden had to go into the army. The matter has been bra - tight before the courts, and here the' Confederate Attorney, Mr. Aylett, took the ground that domiciled foreigners were lia ble to military duty, and should be held to service. The release of Ogden, it was stated, would cause the discharge of twenty thousand foreigners now held to involuntary service in the rebel armies, most of whom probably hold consular certificates of their nationality, which are pronounced by the War De partment at Richmond utterly without account. Thus it appears that twenty thoneand foreigners are forced into the,rebel service by Jeff Davis, and are kept there in violation of all usage of nations. Oom plaints have beertmade.to the British Government, but there seems to be no movement on its part, as yet, to protect its subjects who are thus dealt with by Jeff Davis. . • ALL 1118 &tartest and saloon managers in San Francisco here recently arrested, at the in stance of the Young Men's Christian Atwoolation, for violating an ancient law which they had die. covered, malting it an offence to carmen any thea-' tre, or other place of "noisy or barbarous amuse ment," on Sunday.

BA'PPLB BBTWEER THE BASSAOI I 347 ED TILE Banat IRON-CLAD ALBRMAIILII -B east oriedee of-four shipwrecked sailors who' had been four Bays and four nights on the wreck, without sterithingee eater drink , and who. had just artivefiegov&V,withArysipelas and ` utterly desW tote, I weste. over to the gunboatto supply them with ehees, See. What was my surprise and delight to find that the gunboat was the Sassacus, and the captain, Chiptain Roe, whose famous 'attack on the rebel ram Albemarle puts hie vessel in the same category with the original Monitor and Itearsarge. In common with several other vessels of this class, off the coast al North Carolina (none of them iron-. clads, however), the gunboat Sassacus had been as signed the duty of watching the rebel ram and iron-clad Albemarle. The statement of Capt. Roe, as I drew neat o' him, almost reluctantly, at three different times—l was on board his vessel joreach big, he.—Wee about .as follows: "I had fully made up my mind what. to doff the ram came out, viz : to stand my ground and attack her. A candle shot from a musket, I had often heard, could be made to penetrate a deal board and though I had never tried it, the principle involved might prove a correct one. Why not the momentum of a wooden vessel make up to some extent the difference in ma terial l The hone of battle at length arrived. First of all I briefly commended myself to (lbd for wis dom and protection, and then summoned up all my energies of body and mind for the.desperate conflict. Appealing to my off:leen and men, I found they were with me. heart and soul, every man of them. Though it eves scarcely ten minutes from the time, I ordered on all steam, and told the pilot to steer straight for the ram and strike her amidship, but for my watch I would have believed that It was an hour. All this while there was an irresistible impulse within me that said, 'Do it, do it !, and I never hesitated for ii, moment. The officer of the Albemarle knew me personally, and es I afterwards found, pointed me out to the sharpshooters in my exposed position, and the bullets whittled around me like hail. The heavy gene of the Albermarie opened upon us, and struck us again and again. On came the ram, run ning with all steam on, at right angles to the course , of the Sammie. On went the Sassacus, right to the mark at which I aimed her, and with the desired result. Our prow entered the sideof the ram just forward of the smoke-stack, and by the onward movement of the ram was bent' in ;the opening like the half-shut blade- of a knife, thus laying the two vessels side by side. The guns were so close tbatneither able could ran them out to their full length—the powder of each explosion black ening the antsgonist'a side. A large. aolld shot tent through the starboard boiler from end to end c ranging aft, it passed through a space of very little more than its own width, just missing the crank. Furtber s aft it passed through the bulk head of the wardroom, smashing the looker, and glancing against a heavy stanoheon, stowed itself away in one of the midshipmen's lierths. Mean while the espe of steam shielded a-large number of my crew. -.4i ht in the midst of the conflict, they el came runnin up to me on deck. their scalded flesh hanging from their arms and fates, saying, SO tette ously, 'el "Captaiii, Captain, ' like so many chil dren, that it almost unmanne me. We had bags of powder in .the tops to throw down the smoke stacks of the ram, but, did not succeed.' With one hand-grenades we were more successful; and the - battle raged more fiercely than ever. By a' great effort the ram disengaged herself from the StlSSaeilB and made for the shore • and the protection ,of the fort—and there she has remained, ever . since. - I felt, under God,'that I had Achieved a victory of which the service need not be ashamed:" CONTENTAIRET OP OUR SOLnIiOIS.—MOIE than one virtue is illustratixeby, tho fielowing, given by a writer from among his own pereonal experiences : One afternoon, about 6 , clecloolte .

' ' . iIfOITOENTS OF THE BATTLES BEPORH ATLANTA. —ln the battle of July. 22d, before Atlanta, there were many instances of personal bravery. In the breaking of the troops before the fierceness of the rebel charge, two batteries were almost entirely isolated from..all support whatever. These' guns were-not forsaken, however, without an exhibition of the most desperate courage. And it was only.the section or Buddy's Battery, 13th New Yoik.' which was placed beyond the breastworks, in the woods, that the rebels bad possession of. Before they were abandoned by their managers both lieutenant and men were reedered unable further to defend them. One sergeant fell, having shot away all his pistol, Charges, and only yielding the contest pierced with' eight bullets. Another sergeant foil with seven wounds, and others with varying numbers below; . until thirteen of the brave band of artilleriste of that battery had succumbed by either death or ; wounds. But the indouiitable commanding officer' of the battery stood his ground, though the rebel hostpressed him on three sides, and when their ad-, vance was changed to hasty' retreet; he - gave them . some tokens of remembrance which some of theta willlong bear in mind. He wheeled his four guns to strike the. enemy's '.flank , and charged them heavily with Mole batik and by rapid firing sent many, with a' quicker step, to the rear, maiming others, while scores wore left dead on the field. One young man of a Pennsylvania regiment, who was wounded threegh the abdomen, was the' last and only s on of four who had given their lives for the Republic. "1 have an aged father and mother, who have cheerfully given their children for the sal vation of the country. I would like to be assured they will boomed for," said he, with much feeling, to those who gathered round him. 6 .1 have only one desire now longer to live ; it is to see this war ended rightly. 1 have been in the army nearly three years, and would be willing to spend three more years in it to bring peace on proper terms." And much more to the same effect he said„although the death-Streets were gathered on his brow. After night. had closed the conflict, and quiet had succeeded to the din of battle, a stroll over the ground - occupied by the rebels in-the-fight revealed a scene perfectly sickening. Rebel dead lay strewed in every direction, and in almost every conceivable posture. Staten rebel bodies lay in one spot, in ' close proximity to each other. The ,moon was near full, and shone out with an unusual patentee; a pale. ness produced by a vapory haze hiding beneath its all-but transparent folds the fuller light, as if to give the .apell.of a melancholy enchantment to the view. There was one among . tho 'others that lay in the confusion Of blood on that battleground, who at tracted particular attention. Ile was a :young man of about twenty; perhaps. On his pale face there was resting a smile, as if in derision of his foe. His lips were parted just ear! to give force to expres sion of contempt that' • his countenance, and t e rigid contraction of the muscles of his whole frame seemed to Indicate the bate that was in his heart when palsied by death. Poor young man!' Sad monument of the folly and delusion of all who embark in a bad cause. SUENES IN IPM CRATER AT PETERSBURG When our troops arrived at the crater they behold a heterogeneous mass of loose earth, guns, and gun carriages, dead and wounded gunners, See. Some of the gunners were buried alive at the depths per haps of twenty feet—the depth of the mine below the fort. Those on the surface were found in every conceivable oondition and .attitudo-,,some merely sttnneld'itne slightly wounded, others unreaogniza- - ble lumps of ninth and dirt home with theirheada protruding from_ the ruins, others with their heels • markingktheinunhallowtd burlat place One poor fellow, pulling the dirt out of his eyes, in his deli rium, said : "Bove we been attacked I Are we driving the t• That's right. Give them hell!" He soon rev ived , however, to find himself a prisoner. Another, buried up to his armpits In loose dirMon being approached, orled : Oome, Yanks, for God's sake take me out of this place. It's all over now, and there is no use of letting a - fellow stick here. Come, take me out quickiand I wlll do as much for' you some time:" lie was taken out. One of the. charging officers, noticing the dirt move near hits:Las if. a mole or gopher were at work under it, commenced digging, and finally dug ouf a rebel lieutenant; who was actually revived, and conversed' freely with the offibers before being brought from the ground. Several others were ex humed from their living graves, and restored to consciousness. Before our wounded were removed from the crater • under a flag of trace, their sufferings daring the'day and a half they remained In it were absolutely frightful. Their groans and Cries for water could be distinctly heard in our entrenchments, without the power to relieve without a certainty of being shot. To the credit of the robs, ho*ever, be it said, they did what they would not allow our mon to do,— carried water in their .canteens to some of our suf fering wounded, holding up their canteens as flags of truce. They alloived our wounded to make them selves „,es comfortable as possible by constructing little Moths, anch as were able to do so, or putting up their little fly-tents, such as had them, but they would not allow them to approach our entrench- Ment& • Hanoishr.—General-Morgan mentions, as an inci dent Illustrating the endurance and heroism of the soldiers, the following: Corporal Donaldson; COM party 0 belonging to the lOth Illinois ,, lst Brigade of Davis' Division, had his hand shattered by a shell, He walked back from the trenches to the field hospital without assistance, where the hand WAR temporarialy dressed,. and then walked a tulle to the division hospital, where it was found neces sary to amputate the hand (the left) at the wrist.

TREASURY DEPARTMENT, OFFICE OF INTERNAL • • REV - F. 14178, WAinuNGITON August 1, 1864. • Sin Section 110, of the act 01 ' June 30, among Other th ings, provides a duty of "one twenty-fourth of one per centum each month upon the average amount of the capital of any bank, association, company or .corporation, or .person engaged in the bissiness of banking beyond the amount Invested in .United States bonds." • By.express statute provision, this does not apply to National • Banks which, under the 41st section of the currency act of June 8, in the :months of Janu ary add July of each year, are to pay a similar duty to the Treasurer of the United Snites. • Now. what Is meant by the " United States bonds" of the revenue !awl It is evident that the tectml cal,definition of bond is not applicable to the deter : ininatlon of this question, for Congress and the De partment have not regarded it in speaking of or issuing the several classes ot National securities. Treasury notes and most other securities, bear the teal of tbo United States, and all are obliga tions of pal ment to the holder or other party. Yet the statutes clearly recognize divisions and claims of these securities. some of which are spoken of as "bonds," while different names or titles are given to others. . In the law relating to the coNection of taxes in in surrectionary districts, Congrws speaks of " Tree- Miry notes of the United Staim, 'United 'States notes, and . certificates of indebtedness against .the United States." • • The revenue sot of July 1,1862, levied :star of one' and one half per centum upon income derived from interest' upon "notes, bonds, or other securities of the 'United States." The act, of July 17, 1861, authorising a national loan, allows the issue of "coup on bonds, or roes-. tered bonds; or Treasury notes,the " bonds" to be Irredeemable • for twenty years .and the " Treasary notes" to be "payable three ye ars after date, with Interest at the late of seven and three-tenths per centum per annum, payable semktnnually." The several statutes authorising temporary Jeans and acknowledgments to creditors of indebtedness, particularly refer to the evidenpee seouritieS given I as "certificates," "certificate's of indebtedness, •. of certificates •Of deposit," . and in no Instance are they spoken of as "bonds." The present securities of the United States, aside from the Issues payable on demand, appear to con:- slat : of certificates of indebtedness, payable one year from their date; 2d, treasury notee-ef various dates and different rates of . interest; and payable In three years or less from their respective dates;-2d, certificates for temporary loans; and,4th,registered and coupon bonds, of various dates and denorateo. tions, payable in ten years or more.from their seve ral dates, although some of them are earlier "re. (learnable," as In the Instance of the "five-twenties" eo called, with certain limitations, at the pleasure of the Government. From a careful but hasty examination of the sub ject, I am fully satisfied that the "United States bonds" of the recent revenue law, in the language and 'purpose of Congress, cotnprise' only the seouri ties named In the fourth or last class •abovenamod, and that only such can be deducted from the oepital Of a bank in determining Itstaxable amount. National banks are subject' to' the operations of section 79 of the vevenne ia*,_ and must , procure license measured by the amount their capital. Very-respeatfallY, I I E. A.
