ea other preparations, being scientifically eompoeo,
from plants and harmless gunis, which produce the most
brilliant complexion, and give a ecefteeven texture to the

L'Entail de Pgris cleanses the pores from those nu
sightly black 'worm
specks and small .particles which
give :coarseness to the compleilon, and by cleaning
produces &healthful glow. It effaces, after a few weeks,
Most happily, all 'scars, and is especially successful in
eradicating the marks left by small-Pox.

Obvious reasons,
Jules Jared's "Small de Paris" isnot a paint, not a

that gives both the complexion and texture of polished

General Scott's Autobiography.
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.
To the Editor of The Preis:
Srn: Will you permit a word from ono. who'has

It id not my purpose to speak of particular acts of
our enemies (you have heard of them ere tfils), but
to call attention to our tin Protected condltio . i. The.
people are becoming restive and dissatisfied that we
are losing so renal, and yet so little done to prevent
a repetition 'of the scenes through which we pals
each summer. Our protectors always arrive two or
three days after the enemy hattleft with all his plun
der and destroyed much valuable property. Mercers
burg is always in the route, and each time we suffer
from the ravages of the chivalry: , Each time
we suppose they may do worse than the last, and
you can have but a faint Idea of the state of anxiety
arid excitement in which we live. Many are (lora
pletely prostrated in mind- and body. This summer
matters have been more trying than ever. Are we
wrong in Complaining that we are not properlY pro
tected 1 We cannot think our good Goiernor cen
surable ; where,then, does the blame rest?

taught in the school of affliction that our help is

I am not ambitious' of shoulder-Straps, but only
wish to speak a mord in behalf of suffering bor

Another purpose for which I write is to mention
the bravery of eighteen regulars, under command•of
Lieutenant McLane, who gladdened us with their
presence last week. You who read this far off is

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.—

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,

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. .

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:"

a writer from among his own pereonal experiences :
One afternoon, about 6 , clecloolte . I found myself
seated 'beside en artillery man belonging I believe,

and wearisome march from the front on one of the

. 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

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-

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

to the division hospital, where it was found neces
sary to amputate the hand (the left) at the wrist.
Be submitted to the operation without a murmur
or scarcely an expression of pain, and as soon as It
Was"over he voile up, took. a brush of leaves, and,
began to ' brush MT the files from the sick and

Oblige yours, vary respectfully, ••
-L. DIYEES, Assessor.
Eon; JOSEPH J. Lxvils, Commissioner Internal
..Revenue, Washington, D. C.
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.
