The gross sum to be derived from the tax is reduced from thirty to twenty millions, which is to Le apportioned among the States according to their representative population. The States are authorized to collect the money, and are to be allowed ten per centum on the amount of their respective quotas for so doing. In case any Stato shall decline to undertake the collection, then the Federal Government is to putin operatiun the machinery for collection. California’s proportion of the amount will be about $250,000, and a tax of fifteen cents on the hundred dollars of proverty valuation will net the sum required of this State, Besides the direct tax, Congress has levied a tax of three per cent, on all incomes over $600 per annum ; a tax of from one to fifty dollars on carriages ; . oue dollar on gold watches, and fifty cents on silver watches ; also an excise tax of five cents on spirituous liquors, and sixty cents . & barrel on fermented liquors, .

W. Birser waa killed at Jacksonville, nn } . had taken several hundred cattle from the Cher 7, lied with an abundant outfitof an army. The finest pieces of artillery on the American con‘tinent are the 61 guns captured. We were scant of powder, om we have captured a magnificent supply. We have, in a word, furnished ourselves with an outfit of camp equipage which money could not have purchased for us nor time supplied. The enemy loses it, and a vast portion of it cannot be replaced. His reat deticiency was in horses, and we have iterally stripped him of his whole stud. This is undoubtedly a very exaggerated estimate of the spoils taken by the enemy, Wilkes, who bas given the clearest and best account of the battle we have seen pub ished, says the Federale lost nineteen cane non and about 4,000 stand of arms; but other accounts state that not exceeding fifteen bundred stand of arms were lost. It is very certain that no considerable quan tity of provisions could bave been taken by the rebels, for only two days after the battle, Gen. Beauregard issued an order levying forced contributions upoa the citizens of Loudon : county, for provisions, grain forage, etc. Besides, only one thousand wagons accompanied the army, and the most authentic accounts state that only forty or fifty were lost, But the whole number could not bave bauled more than a few days’ rations, aud such camp equipage and munitions as would be required for immediate use by the Federal army. It is prob. able the rebels captured some articles which they could not have purchased; but nothing was lost by the Government that cannot be easily replaced. Orroos News.—A dispatch to the Marysville Appeal, dated at Salem, Oregon, Aug. 17th, has the annexed items: The Indians have committed several murders for the purpose of robbery, at the foot of the mountains, 25 miles south of the Dalles. Two of the bodies found are pretty cleariy identified as those of Jarvis Briggs, formerly a resident of Albany, and his son. On the 6th of August an Irish sailor named Geo. Sullivan, who had been mining) near the mouth of Rogue River for four or five years, violated the person of a girl 14 years of age, named Elizabeth Graham, murdered her and concealed the body in a thicket. He was summarily hanged by the citizens of the neighborhood without trial except the finding of the Coroner’s Jury. Joseph Baily, killed by the Indians at Goose Lake, wasa Member of the Oregon Legislature. Wm. Crawley was sentenced to the Penitentiary for life for the murder of Hughey, at Eugene City. J. E. Strong is at Eugene City obtaining subscriptions of stock in the — line, and is Tus OTHER MonTGoMERY.—The Memphis Appeal of August Ist has the following: ‘Tne Fort Smith Times of the 25th instant learns that Montgomery, the notoricus brigand, has arrived on the Western frontier and commenced fortifying himself in the Cherokee nation. He okees living in that part of the country, and killed four of the Indians of that tribe. The Times is further informed that Stand Watie had sent to Tahlequah for ten kegs of powder, but could get only two kegs. There is great excitement in the nation, and a large number of the Pin party have changed in favor of the South It would bea bad day’s business for this skulking Guerrilla if he should venture too near the ‘bowie-knife’ boys under Ben. McCullough, in northwestern Arkansas.” Tue Kentucky ELection.—The St. Louis Express of August 6th has the following: The few returns from the Kentucky election received last night, are highly satisfactory. The Union majority in Louisville is estimated at 6,000, and in Jefferson county at 1,000. Harney, of the Louisville Democrat, is elected to the Legislature by over 900 majority over exSenator Merriwether. In Fayette county, Buckner (Union) is elected over James B. Clay by 500 to 600 majority. In Franklin county, Richardson C. Anderson (a nephew of Col. Anderson of Fort Sumter celebrity,) is elected by 300 to 400 majority. KR. W. Jacobs (Union,) is elected in Oldham countv. These returns show Union majorities considerably larger than those obtained at the special Congressional election. Tue steamer Uncle Sam left for Panama yesterday, with 193 passengers, and $1'249,way to Ireland, via New York, for final burial. TELBGRAPHIC.—Mr, Gamble, who is superline between Placerville and Fort Churchill, intends to have the work completed in about six weeks, Naea ene ee nn aen Ra ee the Judges of election procure and keep .

This is no idle tale, but a sober reality, and we shall send the aceount of this affair on to the Confederate forces, to be tried on the Potomac, on James River aod in the Chesapeake Bay !.~[{[Brownlow's Whig. New Dimes.—The new dime struck at the S. F. Branch Mint is one of the handsomest of American coins, differing in design from all the revious issues. On its face is the figure of iberty, in the same style as the rest of the silver coinage, surrounding which in neat letters is, “United States of America, 1861.” On the reverse is, “One Dime,” in full-face letters, surrounded by a wreath of cereals, corn, wheat, barley, rye, etc., somewhat similar to the design of the gold three dollar piece. AN Immense Sum.—The statement of the accounts of J. R. Snyder, as Treasurer of the Branch Mint and U. 8. Sub-Treasurer in this eity, from April, 1854, to June, 1861, show that 8290,136,397 passed through his hands durin his term of office, of which sum $63,777,001 67 was as Sub-Treasurer, and $226,359,386 as Treasurer of the Mint. Ofthis sum $62,777,561 72 was disbursed, and the balance, $999,439 95, paid over to Mr. Cheeseman, his successor.—[Call. SEVERE ACCIDENT.—A young man named Benjamin Hamilton, was severely injured lately, while engaged in logging, near Power's Mill, on Russian River. As the wagon, which contained a large log, was crossing a bridge, the hind wheels went through, the log fell upon one of Hamilton's legs, crushing itin the severest manner. He remained insensible until the next morning, when having revived it was decided that amputation was necessary. Deniep.—It 1s denied that the Secessionists at Snelling’s fired cannon on the reception of the news of the Manassas defeat. Itis said but one cannon was fired by “jolly fellows ona spree,” in honor of the return of an old comrade who had been long absent at Coso mines. Tue lawyers of Mike Brannigan have sued in the sum of $600 for counsel fees in defending him on the charge of rape and grand larceny in the Miss Edith Mitchell case. Mike ts still in jail, although his bail has been reduced to the small sum of $400. Snootine At PrTatvumMa.—Elijah Smith shot his brother-in-law, William Congleton, at Petaluma last Sunday night, but not fatally it is thought. Congleton shot and wounded Smith last winter, and this last affair appears to have been in retaliation. “Camp WrIGHT.”—This is the name given . to the camp where the volunteers are now being mustered into serviee at the Presido. It was so named by Capt. McMahon, in honor of his old commander, Col. G. Wright, of the 9th U. 8. Infantry. Grex.

The finest pieces of artillery on the American con‘tinent are the 61 guns captured. We were scant of powder, om we have captured a magnificent supply. We have, in a word, furnished ourselves with an outfit of camp equipage which money could not have purchased for us nor time supplied. The enemy loses it, and a vast portion of it cannot be replaced. His reat deticiency was in horses, and we have iterally stripped him of his whole stud. This is undoubtedly a very exaggerated estimate of the spoils taken by the enemy, Wilkes, who bas given the clearest and best account of the battle we have seen pub ished, says the Federale lost nineteen cane non and about 4,000 stand of arms; but other accounts state that not exceeding fifteen bundred stand of arms were lost. It is very certain that no considerable quan tity of provisions could bave been taken by the rebels, for only two days after the battle, Gen. Beauregard issued an order levying forced contributions upoa the citizens of Loudon : county, for provisions, grain forage, etc. Besides, only one thousand wagons accompanied the army, and the most authentic accounts state that only forty or fifty were lost, But the whole number could not bave bauled more than a few days’ rations, aud such camp equipage and munitions as would be required for immediate use by the Federal army. It is prob. able the rebels captured some articles which they could not have purchased; but nothing was lost by the Government that cannot be easily replaced. Orroos News.—A dispatch to the Marysville Appeal, dated at Salem, Oregon, Aug. 17th, has the annexed items: The Indians have committed several murders for the purpose of robbery, at the foot of the mountains, 25 miles south of the Dalles.

New Dimes.—The new dime struck at the S. F. Branch Mint is one of the handsomest of American coins, differing in design from all the revious issues. On its face is the figure of iberty, in the same style as the rest of the silver coinage, surrounding which in neat letters is, “United States of America, 1861.” On the reverse is, “One Dime,” in full-face letters, surrounded by a wreath of cereals, corn, wheat, barley, rye, etc., somewhat similar to the design of the gold three dollar piece. AN Immense Sum.—The statement of the accounts of J. R. Snyder, as Treasurer of the Branch Mint and U. 8. Sub-Treasurer in this eity, from April, 1854, to June, 1861, show that 8290,136,397 passed through his hands durin his term of office, of which sum $63,777,001 67 was as Sub-Treasurer, and $226,359,386 as Treasurer of the Mint.

He remained insensible until the next morning, when having revived it was decided that amputation was necessary. Deniep.—It 1s denied that the Secessionists at Snelling’s fired cannon on the reception of the news of the Manassas defeat. Itis said but one cannon was fired by “jolly fellows ona spree,” in honor of the return of an old comrade who had been long absent at Coso mines.
