In another column will be found' a
correspondence between a committee
from the General Safety Committee and
the County Commissioners relative to
the proposed levy for the relief of volun
teers' families. As will be seen they pro
pose to levy the tax on the 25th of July,
unless the tax-payers should, meanwhile,
convene, and remonstrate against it, The
Commissioners give this determination
publicity, in order that the desires of
the, people may be known. Where are
not, we venture to say, twenty people
in the county who pay taxes that will
object to this levy and we have no doubt
it will be made at the time indicated.—
This will furnish a fund that will sup
port the families of volunteers absent
in the service of their country for a long
time and before it is exhausted other
means can be taken to replenish it.
DIRECT TAX
When the recommendation of the
, Secretary of the Treasury at Washington
come to be put in operation, in that
which relates to a tax upon sugar, tea
" and - coffee, as well as direct per capita
taxation,then we shall understand some
thing about the cost of war. Surely the
capital of the country, abundant to
overflowing, will respond to this call of
government and fiil up its cotters suffi
cient to exterminate the present heresy
without an immediate resort to direct
taxation. We have no doubt our people
will bear it with patriotic patience, and
give of their substanoe freely and gene
rowdy, bat let it not comae now, if possi-
We have in this State, or will have
shortly, upwards of forty million to
provide for, a very respectable debt for
one Commonwealth, and which requires
skillful financiering to manage. The na
tional debt will foot up not iess than six
hundred million—next 30th of June—
which must be met outside of ordinary
revenues or duties on imports. The
mere interest of which will amount to
thirty-five or forty million per anuumn.
Truly, in a monetary view, things look
fearful, but we have every enntidence in
the self denying devotion of the whole
country to meet the awful responsibility.
Yet we scarcely hope the ablestates
man now at the head of the Tretk,ury, will
be able to dvise means to carry on the
war without absorbing the property 01
those already quivering betore the storm,
by,direot taxation.
In commenting upon the Secretary's
report the Philadelphia Press says :—A
tax on tobacco, distilled liquors, ale and
beer; is recommended. A tax of the
nature of an excise is very troublesome
to collect, and in order that it may be
properly raised, it is necessary to have
an extensive and very complicated
machinery. The establishment of an
excuse system in America would be very
unpopular, nor do we see how it can be
at all practicable. This method of tax
ation must of necessity be temporary in
its nature, and while it would be accept
ed as a war measure, could not very
safely be continued in a time of peace.
The effect of this tax will be felt also by
the poorer classes more extensively than
by those more favored in fortune. To
bacco is a luxury, but custom has made
it a necessity to thousands, who would
rather dispense with their tea, their cof
fee, and, if possible, with their bread,
than forego the soothing properties of
the narcotic weed. Any tax on liquors
should discriminate in favor of malt
liquors, such as ale and beer. This last
beverage is becoming wonderfully po
pular among our people. Thousands
who cannot endure the powerful bran
dies, gin, and whisky, which come from
the still, and who cannot afford the gen
erous wines of Champagne, Madeira, or
even our own Onio, find in ale, porter,
and• .beer a grateful, stimulating, and
harfilletts beverage. So long as these
malt effusions are sold at the cheap Tate
which now prevails, it will be better for
the cause of morality and temperance.
We commend this subject to the careful
consideration of Congress.
Major Alex. Hays.
We cheerfully endorse the following
extract in relation to the subject named.
or better soldier breathes than
Major Hays, and the government knows

to make any change in his subordinates,
beyond those already =de, previous
to the regular seshet.
OF CoURSE THEY WILL.
We are delighted to notice a move in
the right direction in Congress at the
threshold of legislation, which promises
more pay to the soldier and leas to office
holders. Let members of Congress try
it on, and give their services for one
year at least to their country and the
cause of freedom, and keep their fingers
clear of contracts. This is asking a little
too much to start with, but let it be done
at least after their sons, brothers and
cousins are provided for in the army
and its several profitable departments.
Report of the Secretary of the Navy.
The report of Secretary Wells, states
with much clearness the condition of
the navy upon tho change of adminis
tration in March last, and the measures
adopted for its improvement. On the
4th of March, 90 vessels, designed to
carry 2,415 guns, was the total number
in the navy, of these the available force
was 69, out of which 42 were in com
mission. Most of these were in distant
seas, and the home squadron consisted
of 12 vessels only. Active measures
were at once taken for the aug
mentation of the navy. By purchase
and contract the government has in
creased the naval force in commission
to S 2 vessels, carrying more than 1,100
guns, and a complement of 13,000 men
exclusive of officers and marines. This
force will soon be added to by the con
struction of eight sloops of war, under
the authority of the last Congress.—
The squadron on the „Atlantic coast con
sists of 22 vessels, and that in the Gulf
of 21 vessels. For the building of 23
gunboats, of five hundred tons each, the
government has already contracted.
Willard's Hotel.
Messrs Presbury, Sykes, and Chad
wick, the late popular proprietors of
the Girard House, have leased Wil
lard's Hotel, Washington city, and
take possession on Sunday next, •July
14th.
IT is said that the idea of an attack
upon the Union army being intended
by General Beauregard, from the di
rection of Manassas Junction, is com
pletely dispelled by the fact which has
just been:communicated to Gen. Scott
that Beauregard has obstructed the
roads between that point, Fairfax Court
House and the lines of the Union army,
by felling the trees and leaving them
along the roads. This would argue
that be does not contemplate any forward
movement, as the impediments so placed
would work equally against his own
troops and those of the government. It
is also stated that General Beauregard
has sent reinforcements by railroad to
General Johnson, under the impression
that the latter was about to give battle
to General Patterson.
THE UNION MAJORITY IN KEN
TUCKY.—The Hon. W. D. Kelly of
Philadelphia has just received a letter
from a gentleman of prominence in Lou•
isville, a Union man, in which he says
the Union majority in the State at the
recent election was nearer 55,000 than
30,000; that he has been positively as
sured that Mr. Crittenden will offer n o
compromise proposition, the rejection of
which will hurt the Union cause there,
and that Mr. C. was currently reported
to have stated on several occasions since
the election that be is in favor of sup
porting the Administration. The wri
ter expresses the utmost confidence in
Messers. Mallory, Wadsworth, and
Harding, and says the Union sentiment
in Kentucky is so deeply rooted that
the defection of any number of leaders
would not much affect it.
THEY turn out tF e boldest and hard
est sort of fighting boys out West. In
the Second Wisconsin Regiment, for
instance, they have a pugnacious force
of ten hundred and fifty men, among
whom are two hundred and fifty who
have graduated at some institution of
classical learning; two hundred of them
are lumbermen, not one of whom have
slept upon any thing softer than a saw
log in half-a-dozen years, and all over
five feet ten inches high ; one entire
company is composed of foundrymen
and iron workers, and the remainder
of the regiment is made ap of mechan
ics and farmers.
CONFISCATION PROPOSED.—The N.
0. Delta is savage at the useless
“humanity and moderation"of the rebel
leaders. It wants a full stop put to all
payment of Northern debts, and calls
attention to the large amount of property
in Louisiana held by perscns or their
agents in the North. It mentions three
cases, viz: Gen. Patterson in com
mand of a large force now advancing on
Virginia; Capt. Adams, who commands
the squadron which is now depredating
on the property of Southern citizens;
and Dr. Wood, the Surgeon• General
of the United States Army. These
officers all own large properties in the
South. General Patterson holds a
large amount of the paper of our plan
ters. lie is even now, through his at
torney, endeavoring to execute a judg
ment for 830,000 on a plantation owned
by a widow lady in this State. Capt.
Henry Adams has a large interest in a
plantation and negroes in this State,
and Surgeon General Wood has a large
force of negroes working on a plantation
in Louisiana.
Fr AO OF NORTII CAROLIIVA.—The
flag agreed upon for the State of North
Carolina, says a Richmond paper, is
said to be very handsome. The colors
are a red field, with a single star in the
centre. On the upper extreme is the
inscription, "May 20, 1775," and at
the lower, "Ilay 20 1861." There are
two bars Mae of blue and the other of
white.

GA.LLIP.:LIS, July bth, 1861.
In my letter written from Pt Harmer,
on lest Sunday evening, I hastily narrated
the result of the expedition we had been
engaged in during the previous few days At
the same time I expressed a desire to wit
ness the sequel thereto. Unexpectedly we
were I laced in such position as to become
familiar with all the details of the move
ments resulting from the before-named
foray. The panic which ensued among the
farmers and others, and almost wholesale
flight to the Ohio shore; the numerous
arrests made during the week ; the necessi
ty created for the reinforcement cf the
troops left at Ravenswood; the adventures
of half the 21st Ohio, sent for the last
named purpose ; the endless reports and
rumors concerning the enemy ; and my
opinion of what would be the result, are
subjects you have only to remember to have
a full survey of the whole expedition.
In My last I was compelled for want of
time to close rather abruptly. I should
have mentioned that the whole force at
Ravenswood had been placed on board the
Mary Cook and Marmora, and brought to
Ripley landing, twelve miles below, and
about the same distance from the county
seat, there to await the report of the scouts.
and to act accordingly. We reached there
about 11 P. ti. The troops were taken
ashore and formed in marching order ; the
report from the scouts was beard, and after
consultation, all were placed aboard the
boats and we left for Mason City. In the
meantime fresh scouts had been sent to
scour the vicinity, the ability of whom I
gave you my opinion of. Arriving at
Mason City next morning, the troops were
put ashore, and we were sent hero for the
remainder of the regiment. Taking them
aboa d, at the date of my last writing, we
started up the river for Mason City, there
to connect with the main bo.iy, and make
another trip to Ripley ; hear thelicout's
reports, and have, as was expected, some
work to celebrate the Fourth of July. The
generally received impression was, that
800 "seceshers" was at Ripley C. H ,
among them 300 cavalry, and all having
entrenchments thrown about them. No
scout, however,. had yet been found who
had individually seen the force. During
the route up to Ripley landing we picked
up several of the scouts, and landed the
whole force, 21st regiment, two companies
of the 17th and Mason City Homo Guards,
about 1300 strong, at half past one A. M.
Being curious to see all going on, and a
natural desire to know the kind of work
we were about, I dodged about gathering
what information I could. The scouts,
during the previous night, having found
the enemy, and nearly all of the former
having been fired upon, and going within
their pickets at least one mile and a half,
satisfied me We were in their nearest
neighborhood—confirmed the fact of their
having cavalry, but failed to find any one
who had sufficient evidnnee of their having
infantry—much less .'UO, with three geld
pieces, the generally accepted report.
The last man of the whole force passed
out of sight about half past two A. H., all
marching with admirable precision and
order. I stood on the bank with some of
the boys off the boats, and my sympathies
were enlisted on HVelqlnt of the twenty-tour
mile march, (out and back) as the move
ment seemed somewhat inclined to termis
nate only in that way. I never expected
a pitched battle. The road led directly in
front, end seven o'clock in the morning
would only find our forces arrived on the
ground, after their departure. We waited
anxiously the sight of the first arrival from
Ripley. About two p N 1 the head of the
returning force arrived, conveying the fact
that they marched out only to find a de
serted village and deserted camp of the
rebels—the latter having left some time
within the preceding twelve hours. Had
the force as they were placed on shore,
nearly 800 strong, marched from Ripley
landing Tuesday night at 11 o'clock, they
would, perhaps, have interfered with "set
cash," as they had been busy all day,
plundering at the various mills and terms
in the beighberbood, at which they have
done a land office business. I ascertained
this fact from many of the sufferers Find
ing the expedition fruitless we get orders
to pack up and bring all bands back here,
where we are now waiting for something
else to turn up. -
Being only "euine ' minter% , 1 way not
be a competent judge, but if 1 were to give
an opinion based on the evidence furnished
for nearly tee whole movement, 1 should
say that O Jennings Wise and Dr Jen
king, of Greenbottom, had united their
two companies of light horsemen and were
making a foray for the necessaries of
a very 11l supplied camp. They did not
want a light, and I believe I am safe in
saying they did not know how to give •ine.
That 0. J. Wise was in Charleston, there
is no doubt, as passes signed by him have
been exhibited. That ho was in Ripley
there is no positive evidence. Their num
bars are estimated at from two to four
hundred.
The condition of affairs in this part of
Western Virginia is deplorable The
movements of the Federal troops has
made active repels leave, and the foray
from Charleston has struck fear home to
the Union men. Hunareds of acres of
wheat are going to lose and destruction,
and the same may be said of corn, for the
want of the proper attention. People have
deserted every hing. "We have had with
us at least a dozen gentlemen, exiles, fol
lowing the troops, and eager to see some
thing conclusive done, whose intellect and
interest none can question—that related a
condition of existing facts painful to ree
peat.
From the beet information I can gather
there were at Charleston, last week, 1800
troops. 0. J. Wise had added 600, and
Gov, El. A. was expected to arrive with
5000 more. If the latter arrives with a
large force it may be through the necessity
of the case, urged by Gen. McClelland
calling on him.
Had I the time and leisure, I might
write incidents enough to fill a newspaper,
of the unhappy condition resulting from
this misguided rebellion, in this narrow
scope we have passed through. As yet,
the industrious, working fanners have
been the principal sufferers on he Union
side. The cause of it, they attribute to
the march made on Ripley—the few arrests
and discharges made—and 'then leaving
the country open for a retaliatory wove to
be made by the rebels, who paid it back
with interest, and found an excuse by say
ing they were not first to create distur
bance. Good horseflesh, bel.nging to
Union men, is uncertain property in this
part of the country, sure.
It is certainly painful tu hear 801110 thrif
ty farmer, miller, or storekeeper, relate
the sacking of his houses and property,and
almost in every instance the heaviest suf
ferers really the embodiment of the in-
dustry and enterprise of their locality. At
present writing, having no order other
than to lay by for a short time, I have
been trying to speculate on the next move,
and by putting one circumstance and an
other together, have become satisfied we
were after 0. J. Wise and his picked com
pang of Richmond light infantry. I be
lieve his otject it to reconnoiter and be
come personally familiar with the locality
and resources of the Kanawha vailey—
that he is collecting stores and supplies—
that the infantry said to accompany him
are the scallywags of the neighborhood—
that will disperse as soon as he leaves
their locality—and that he and his compa
ny are looking for adventure at present.
The impression, also, prevails here, that
Gov. Wise is also in the neighborhood of
Charleston, awaiting his reinforcements,
and from the net that is prepared for him,
he will be in good luck if he manes, pro
vided each of the powers that be, play their
Part properly.
County Tax for the Relief of Families
of Volunteers.
PITTSBURGH, June 26,1861
To the Commissioners of Allegheny County:
GENTLEMEN: Tae undersigned author
ized by the Committee of Public Safety
for this county, respectfully request, that
a levy of at least two mills on the dollar of
the assessed value of property in Allegheny
County be levied for the present year, for
the purpose of creating a fund for the sup,
port of the families of volunteers now in
the service of the United States or of this
State. The authority to levy such tax is
found in thelith Section of the Act enti
tled an " Act to create a loan and to pros
vide for Arming the State," approved May
1871.
The necessity fur early and efficient ac
tion on your part as Commissioners is ap
parent. Every citizen ought to bear his
just proportion of the great barthen that
rebellion and outrage have thrown upon
the country. If the effurt to relieve and
sustain the families of our patriotic citizen
soldiery is to be made by individual citi-
zens or committees, there is great reason
to believe• that no adequate provision will
be made, and in the successful effort, the
liberal and patriotic may subscribe, whilst
for the protection of whose properties and
security the great sacrifice and expense is
incurred will hold tight their purse strings
In our conversation with you some ten
days or two weeks ago, we were led to ex
pect that the wishes of the Committee
would be twee ded to, but, subsequently,
being informed, that no action in this be
half would be taken, we again most ear•
neatly appeal to you a s the guardian of the
public interest, that a change of your views
may be adopted.
While the committee will do all in their
power to aid in the collection of funds from
private sources, we desire in the event of
great suffering, destitution and hunger, to
place on the record the fact., that we have
done all in our power to prevent such dis
aster. Your reply will oblige,
Truly yours,

the Committee of Public Safety:
GENTLEMEN—Your communication of
June 25th, 186], requesting us to assess
and levy a tax of two mills on the dollar
of the assessed value of the property o f
Allegheny County for the relief of Volun
teers and their families, is received, and
has been duly and carefully considered.
In an assessment and levy of so much
importance, (the amount proposed to be
raised being fifty two thousand dollars,)
we think the tax payers should have ample
notice: we will, therefore, on the 25th
day of July, 1861, levy a tax of two mills
for the purpose aforesaid, unless the tax
payers of the County should in the mean
time order otherwise.

in charge escaped, and was the only
one left to relate their mishap. They
