A friend has handed us a copy of the Now York Tribune of December 0,1M6), which contain* n reminiscence that is par ticularly refreshing and noteworthy ut this time. \\To copy the paragraph : — "Parson Bmwnlow" of Tenuonseo at tended a Pro-SInvcrv Indignation meet ing at Lynchburg, Vft., on the 1st, and made a characteristic •l>ee« , h. He said he would rather to bo with the South in Pandemoniumthan withlht> Abolitionist* in Heaven, He also remarked that ho intended to give his family instructions not to bury him in a Yankon coffin, but if, in i*iiso of an emergency, they should havo to do ho. that they must leave both ends onen. >olhat when thn devil and the Abolltionints came in »t oneend, heeould go out ut the other. A worthy nhamnion of .Slavery I* thn Rev. W. G. Ifrnwnlow. Which bus Ilrownlow lalUn in love with, the Devil or tho Abolitionists? lie regarded thorn, in IflflW, as allies Insepar* nblo for all eternity, and hi« greatest anx iety wastoe«ea|>o their company. Wo wonder if ho carried a Southern coffin with him to Yankoodom? or did his ro- eoneiliation with the Ynnkoc# include also a conveyance of his soul to "Old Scratch" ? Worthy avoeiutes, both in tills world mid tho noxt, are Hi own low and Grooley. The Infidel philoHOphor and tho l ovonmjl blackguard will ho a.i Insopurnble after doath as they have boon lovely in their Jive*. “Heavily Itelnflirccfl." Ever slnoo tho announcomont that tho Yankees had tnken peisetslon o^‘ tho Yar.oo river, we havo boon apprehonsivo that this report would soon ho rocolvod «»f Grant’s army. The control of the Yazoo near its mouth gave them great Advantage* for concentrating tr<Ki)»s and forwarding supplies, and they hnvo not boon slow to avail thmnudves of it. fJon. Johnston has not had tho Homo facilities. Not oven a railroad for tho whole dis tance 1ms boon availnblo to him', a tho Yankee? destroyed what they could of tho railroad* at .1 fiobnon during their occupation of that city. Still, them in every ran*on to heljovo that. Gen. John- aton, too, Iihh been largely reinforced, and now seriously menace* the ennmy in tho rear. Tho contost tlms assume* the character of a slego within a siege, the Yankees thomscivcH being between two lines of our forces, neither of which they can break through. Hut it must bo admitted that the Yankee idlualion appear* to be hotter than our own for a protracted maintenance of tho prosont pordtionii. Thoy have u river routo of communica tion with tho North, which L decidedly bettor than a railroad alter tho first utage of rapid concentration is passed. This routo comes so near to their whole lino in the roar of Vicksburg, that they can easily protect it, if indeed their lino -of battle does not extend from the immedi ate vicinity of tho city to tho Yazoo. Tho communication botwcon Gens. John ston and Pemberton in uece;-arily cut otf, and cacti must maintain his position with out aid from the other. Tho only hopeftil inode of altering the »ituation tnntoriftllv is for Gen, Johnxlon to assail the enemy in the rear ami disperse or drive them up to the entrenchments of Gen. Pemberton, and the material inquiry is, will ho be enabled to do this.? Grant, wo are in formed, has withdrawn from within range <>f our guns at Vicksburg, and 1ms thrown Up entrenchment* In his roar. General Johnston, then, would havo to attack him in n strong and advantageous posi tion, and to do this with inferior numbers would he to encounter fearful odd* and make immense sacrifices. A aortlo by Pemberton, simullancouiJy with John- stun s attack on the Yankee rear, could hardly ho expected .with Ids few mid wearied forcos, and with the enemy •warming around him ku the river. Tho qucHiion of a supply of water, too, in one of great importance to both armies, *So far ns Gen. I’omhrilon is concerned, we havo little solicitude on this score. Hut how is Gen. Johnston ngmy to ho nuppliod, if ho take- a position .closely parallol with that of Grant, which would seem to bo necessary if tho contct-t rusumes tho form of a douhlo siege ? Grant can wagon his supplies of water from tho Y’axoo along hi* cloaoly protec ted lino. Perhaps tho Yankee* may oven bullcl a railroad through the bottom, bo- tween their lines and Vicksburg, for tho transportation of everything necessary to their army. Thoy are a »■ ■. \ i.>o peo ple, beyond question, and ’.heir exploit- witli tho spado nml pick are oroditalde to their industry and perseverance during this war, howuvor damaging to their pluck. If.wo uro oauoetly informed ns to the character of tho country, then* arc no WHtor pourftes between tho Hig HInck and Vicksburg capable of supplying a largo army. Thus viewing “tho situation," wo must confess that our hope of the raining of tho siege of Vicksburg rest* upon tbe ability of Gen. Johnston to attack Grant at once and drive him from his position. We see nothing promising in the plan of Inveatmvnt end tho exportation that time will weaken thn Yankee force and strengthen ours. Hut wo fool as, ured of tbe ability of Gen. Johnston ta extricate A Deleft <>i the Law. TlmHtuto law taxing profit.* « ontninh a provision tlmt may ho iftado available in depriving the de*litutnfamilies of soldiers (for whoso benefit thn tax is levied) of many thousand* of dollar* that ought to be collected a* taxes. Tho net ostnbllsh- o“ a tax upon profits, increasing with the amount, until a profit of 9100,OOd is taxed •'i per cent., or .So,000, and on all profit' over £ 100,000 the tax Is still further in ••reused. Hut the law also provides )thnt where any individual or company refuse to give in tho amount of his or their pro fits, ho or they shall hoeonsldafod as hav ing made $100,000 and (£xodaccordingly. Tim would muko tho nnxuint of tho tax $£,000. Now, there Is ovory reason to beliovo that quite a number of establish ment* In (hoHlate have mndo two or three times $100,000 As elonr profits during the year. 1 f $200,000, they would be taxed 10 per cent, or $20,000; if $1100,000, their fax would bo lo por cent., or ?.!.»,000.- - Hut under thislaw.lhoy can fail or refuse to give Jit their profit* at all, ami osenpe with a tax of only $5,000. Wo do not know that any individual or company, whose profits have ovcooJod >100,000, will avail themselves of tbilde fect of the law. Probably, in eonsidora- lion of the ubjoRt for which the tux is im- poaod, thoy will nil faithfully nbido by the Intention of tho Jaw and pay (lie just amount of their taxes Hut wo know, at the sumo tin jo, that in this period of heartless speculation and oxtortion men »ro onrriod ftW/iy by mom y-making „ s . pi ration h llinl they would have spurned as unworthy ami disrepiUnkle throe years ago. They uro in a whirlpool of specula tion find fortune-making, and this is a Male of excitement that "grows by what it. feed- on," until It outgrows those sen- tinieuii of strict honoruldo donling and a regard forjustice above profit that used to bo the rule ot conduct among men it i* thoraforo proper that the practical ope ration of this feature of the law should ho noted, end that if it I t mado a subteiTuge for the ovn*>ion of tuxes imtly due, the next Legislature should nmdv the eor- reetive.

Between 9 and 10, n. m., the artillery nnd infantry, tho former in battalion* and the latter by brigades had arrived and formed in their proper place* on the rcriow ground, nnd formed a spectacle at once grand and magnificent. The ground selected for tho review wns a mammoth pastura of clover nnd blue grass, and devoid of any obstructions calculated io impede the regular nnd beautiful marching of our troops, or the evolutions of the artillery. Tho formation of tho lino from right to left wai in tho following order: Brig. Gen. Law, l*t; Brig. Gon. Robinson, 2oj" ‘ Brig. Gen. Henning, Jrd ; and Brig. Gen. Anderson, 4t!i. The artillery consisted a* follows: 1st, Riley Battery ; 2nd, German Light Ar tillery from South Carolina; and drd, Garden*- Battery. After all the usual preliminaries of formation were accomplished, we prepar ed for review by tho opening of ranks, and immediately Maj. Gen. Hood nnd staff, at a swill vallop of their steeds, swept down our front and thence back 3nr to the park of artillery be longing to the division. Having review ed tho artillery, Gen. Hood and staff look position on an elevation, nnd awaited the pawing in roviow of our troop?, which thrown into column of companies and marched pnst him, who sainted us with uncovered bead. After performing the long circuit, we halted at tho ground from whence we stnrtcd t“ pass in roviow, and enrne to a rest for lliu purpose of viewing our nrtil lory drill, and execute a mock duo! with blank cartridge. It whs excellently gone" through with, and satisfied m that our artillery is worthy of tho confidence of the Infantry to which it i* attached. Suffice it to say the review was attended 1 by many of the male und female resi dents of the surrounding neighborhood, and will furnish thorn with a theme for * conversation for n long time to come. Homo of the girls were very pretty. During tho roviow tho weather was clear and warm nnd tho radiant beam* ol thosun glancing on the piod and lb>wer- ingclover, and the waving blue grass, made it scorn a gain day to the majority of tho troop*. fluch reviews are not without lho*r benollolal influence on the troop*.
