We copy some parts of the circular, which are of general interest to our readers. Immediately after his appointment each district collector will give public notice re quiring the persons mentioned in the fifth section of the tax act, of April 24, 18G3, and hereinafter set forth in article thirteen of these instructions, to attend at such pla ces as lie may appoint, on or before the 1st of July, 1SG3, or at the time of beginning business, and register, in the form to be prescribed by the commissioners of taxes, a true account of the name and residence of each persbn, firm or corporation, engaged or interested in the business, with a state ment of the time for which, and the place and manner in which the same is to be con ducted, and such other facts as may be requisite to ascertain the amuunt of tax upon such business for the past or future, according to the provisions of &aid act. At tbo time of such registry the district, collector shall collect the specific tax for the year ending 31st December, 18G3, and such other tax as may be due on sales or receipts in such busines at the time of such registry, and the collector shall make such registry, and give a receipt for the amount in duplicate,specifying therein the separate sums received as specific tax, and tax on sales or receipts ; and one receipt he will deliver to the tax payer, and the other he will forward to the State collector, as in case of other receipts for taxes. There shall be a separate registry and tax for each business, and for each place of conducting the same. But no tax is requir ed for the mere storage of goods at a place other Ilian the registered place of business. Upon every change in the place of conduc ting a registered business, there shall be a new registry, but no additional tax, and so also on the death of any person conducting such business, or on its transfer to another person, there shall be a new registry iu the name of the person to continue the bu siness, but no additional tax shall be re quired. The following are the occupations,trades and persons taxed under the provisions of the fifth section of the tax act, and the specific and geneial tax to be collected at the time of registry : Occupation.

The New York Worlds the 1st instant publishes, in full, a speech delivered by Hon. James W. Wall, of New Jersey, before tba Democratic club of Philadel phia, May 9th. It occupies nearly five columns of small type and is devoted chiefly to a review of the antecedents of the war. It quotes the record freely to fix upon the Black Republican party the responsibility at this iniquitous w'ar. The follow ing extracts from the address will be read With interest : There clearly was a time in the history and progress of this event, when the war might have been averted under the gni- daiict-jof a wise and prudent statesmanship; but unfortunately, as I Lave before said, the rebellion caught us with fools and fanatics in power. I believed at tbo out set as I know now, that it would have been infinitely better lo bare.let the screed- ing States depart in peace. 1 so urged members of Congress at the time, and the members of the Peace Convention.— I believed then, as I believe now, that such a wise and generous policy would have disarmed resentments, would have softened and subdued hearts then swelling with hate, but which resistance must harden, and make more bitter still. * * The sword and the bayonet, iu a civil strife like the present, between tw r o such people, can never help to the proper disposition in the minds of either section for a wise adjustment, and can never take the place of civil wisdom, without which all the triumphs of the battle field are useless, ifioon, whatever may be the result of sin gle battles, diplomacy must take the place of war, or else anarchy, or the resolving this government into a military desposilion must be the result. The idea of this strife continuing for two years longer with the prospect of increased carnage, stagnation of business, inhibited commerce, is too much for any man, unless it be a shoddy contractor or speculator in gold to contem plate with composure. Sooner or latter bv that rough experience,fearful suffering, that lias already come, and will be fear fully aggravated by the continuance of the war, if not by the more prudent councils of a wise forbearance, the hour for compro mise and settlement must conic. In view of the immense interests at stake, both to ourselves and those dearer than ourselves, our children, tee must endeavor to hasten its coming. It is only fools or knaves who still continue to [declare that we will not treat with rebels—we cannot bold parley with those who are stiiking at the national I life. * * As the keen forecasting states manship of Mr Douglas very early discov ered : “Subjugation, extermination, or separation, must be the result of a war be tween Northern and Southern States.” * * Has not the question of the war at last reduced itself to the alter natives jpredicted by Mr. Douglas ? Can there, be any possible settlement, except upon the basis of subjugation, annihilation or separation ? Sooner than the first two, in God’s name, in the name of a com mon humanity, I say separation a thousand times ! Subjugation or annihilation being alike impossible I am in favor of an immediate cessation of hostilities, for an armistice— that mid the lull of the strife the beat of passion shall have time to cool, and the majestic voice of reason can be beard. Iu the midst of such a calm I am for endeavoring to learn from those in arms against us what their demands may ; be, and inviting their co operation in the name of a common Christianity, in the name of a common humanity, to some plan of reconciliation or reconstruction by which the sections may reunite upon a more stable basis—a plan in which the Fifth class. I questions upon which we have differed I so long may be harmoniously adjusted ; and each section, by virtue of the great ness developed in this war, may profit by the experience. If it shall be found that sectional opinions and prejudices are too obstinate, and the exasperations of this war have burnt too deep to settle it upon the basis of reconciliation, then I know that seperation and recognition are inevit able. If there is to bo a settlement upon the basis of reconstruction,then reconstruc tion can only accomplish its ends by introducing into our constitutional system a plan whereby for all time to come, sec tion shall be protected against section.— The plan suggested some years ago by Mr. Yallandigham bears the stamp of his clear sagacity and statesmanlike forecast divid ing tlic’country into four large [sections or I masses, and requiring a majoiity of the The several persons mentioned in article j representatives from each to consent to a 13, who are required under the tax act to ; measure before it should become a law.— make returns of sales, shall be required by j[r.

Silently and sadly lie shook be the finality. I shall -deeply mourn j hands with us and left us. There is a over the necessity that compels to such poignancy of sadness in tearing these old a poliev, but will accept it in preference to ties of friendship, woven and hallowed by loDg years of cruel strife, hopelessly de- common dangers and sufferings. But all moralizing our people, prostrating our these will be busines interests, and making us the scorn scattered, and pity of Christendom. Impartial his tory will fasten the responsibility where it belongs, and wdiere Mr. Douglas, in bis speech oflSGl, placed it,upon the Repub lican party, who, to use his own forcible language, “refused to allow the people at the ballot boxes to determine for them selves the issue between revolution and war on the one side'and obstinate adhe rence to a party platform on the other.” I do not hesitate to declare in the ears of this administration, and of the Loyal Leagures, its allies, that if their war upon the personal liberty of the subject, in de fiance of the guarantees of the Constitution goes on, the time may come when “for bearance ceases to be a virtue,” and “re- sistencc to tyrants becomes obedience to God.” The recent assault upon that patriotic champion of the Constitution and the rights of tlie people, Yallandigham, sub jecting him to the secret inquisition of a court martial, is an infamous Violation of every constitutional provision, and utterly subversive, if submitted to, of every prin ciple upon which free government rests.— That all men should yield to the State is beautiful iu theory ; but good in practice only where the State is the aggregate of legitimate private constitutional interests, administered by honest persons. T he true public interest is composed of the aggregate portion of such private interests —and when the State makes w’ar upon these, iu a free government, that assailed interest has a right boldly to assert itself, and demand a hearing. In despotisms, private interests are not openly heard.— They must proceed, if at all, by intrigue and by conspiracy. The interest ol the State, then, becomes—as it really is fast coming here—the interest administered by functionaries who advance and keep themselves at the public expense, and put down with the strong arm of unlicensed power those who have the courage to com plain. We, as Democrats, nay, as Ameri can citizens, only ask (it ts all we ever asked) that the great magna cliarta of our freedom shall be observed, and the guaran teed rights of the citizens secured. Obe dience to the Constitution and the laws has ever been with us, and must ever be, paramount to obedience to arbitrary pow er. Let our cry be in the fearful contest that is approaching—“We will ask for nothing but what is right; wo will submit to nothing that is wrong”—and then ii our cry is unheeded, let us pray that some Maccabees shall arise, who will assert the honor of the ancient faith, and defend the temple of his forefathers with as ardent and determined a spirit as that which actuates these innovators to destroy the monuments of the piety, patriotism and glory of our fathers. 20 per cent on gross sales. 50 cents per gallonon 1st ] ctUus Jl) gallo n s j and $2 per - gallon on all i spirits did tilled be yond th a t i quantity Hotels, 500 First chiss. | Inns, 300 Sec’d. class, i Taverns, 200 Third class, i Eating houses, ) 100 Fo'th. class. 1 s 30 J 50 Fifth class, j Jugglers, and exhibi tors of shows, Lawyers. 50 Livery stable keepers, 10 Pawnbrokers, 200 I’edlarB, 50 24 per cent,on Physicians. 50 gross sales.

He From Illinois mill Indiana* A Legislature P/orgoucd by the Governor. Richmond, June 1G.—The Govcn o • of Illinois, upon the pretext that the Legisla ture could not agree about the time of adjournment, has issued a proclamation adjourning them. Upon the appearance of this proclama tion the Republicans left the balls of the Senate and House, and the Democrats were left without a quorum and were un able to transact business. The act has caused intense indignation. The Supreme Court of Indiana lias de cided that the interest on the State debt cannot be paid—the Legislature having . ijr failed to make an appropriation for this ; cannot fail to touch a chqid Oi sjmpa- purpose.

Under this title the Richmond Whig inserts a communication from an intel ligent correspondent. We agree with that paper iu characterizing them as eminently entitled to the attention of ihe Government: “ My principal object in addressing you this letter is to offer some reflec tions, which these repeated raids of the Yankees suggest. What should be the course of the Government and of our people, to arrest and punish these inhuman barbarities? That they are not justified by the rights of war must bfr admitted. We have been recognized by foreign powers as bellig erents—and even hv the Y'ankee Gov ernment itself-—and properly so recog nized by the laws of nations. As bel ligerents we are unquestionably enti tled to have all the rights of civilized warfare observed towards us by the nation waging war against us. Among those rights are that private property shall he respected, private and non- combatant citizens he unmolested in their persons and estates, and all be ex empted from capture and spoilation. Our enemy has chosen to ignore these rights, and to commit upon private per sons and property the most llagitious outrages, plunder and devastation. It is evident that the enemy, baffled in his gigantic efforts to subjugate us by his formidable armies in fair and equal conflict oi' battle, means to employ,and has avowed his purpose to employ, the fiendish instrumentality of raids and forays—imprisonment and plunder. His armies pause on the margin of riv ers under the cover ot his gunboats, fearing to advance, whilst his cavalry plays flic part of brigands and robbers on our plantations and our homesteads. “ Now, under these circumstances, vvliat course is left ? What is the duty of our Government ? I answer, as the best result of my reflections, first, that the President, should without delay prepare and publish a manifesto to the whole world, setting forth these enor mous violations of the laws of nations, of Christian civilization, of the ordinary principles of humanity, and of our most sacred belligerent rights, by this ruth less and savage enemy. Let him in that manifesto enumerate as particu larly and specifically as may be consis tent with becoming dignity and brevi ty the instances and ettses that have occurred, and submit them to the judg ment of mankind. I am convinced that the whole truth is not known in Europe, and is partially withheld from the Yankee nation. I am certain that when the facts arc known iu Europe, it will produce a seusation that has never yet been roused. It will,it must, excite an indignation against our enemy that has never been felt before.

Will the President a Secretary of War consider these suggestions v” should longer refrain from expressions of reprobation, if not impelled to inter pose their good offices “ in the interest of humanity,” to arrest the infamous barbarities of these Yankee hell hounds. Be this as it may, it is due to ourselves extensive and wonderful description.— ^ these things should be known— According to recent Yankee accounts, for s [ 10U j c { foo published and proclaimed to vastness and purity it is unequalled on the the c i v iji ze d world and be set down globe.

The greater portion of the divis ion has been associated with him since the lamented affair at Fort Donelson, and the abandonment of Tennessee, and were with him at Shiloh,Vicksburg,Baton Rouge and Murfreesboro.’ The sharing of so many dangers and distresses, bis native lvnight- like gallantry on the field, and his gener ous sympathy for his wounded and sick companions in camp, have given birth to a mutual attachment as tender and devoted as a woman’s love in the first gush of wo manly feeling. lie was familiarly known to his soldiers as a messmate.

They fill our brains With dreams of sun-mer hour3 God bless the girls, God bless the curls. God bless our human flowers. The wives we think, although we have not got one, are quite as deserving ot blessings asj th« girls, therefore we submit tlie following. God bless the wives, They fill our hives, W’ith little bees and honey ; They|ease life's shocks, They mend our socks. But—don’t they spend our money f When we are sick, They heal usqnick— That is, if they should love us ; If not, we die, And yet they cry, Aud place tombstones above us. O ! bless our wives, Each always strives, One’s lonely home to cheer, So they do prove, To us their love.

Tico Confederate Officers Arrested and Hung as Spies by Rosen era ns.—‘■A dispatch from Murfreesboro says : Colonel Lawrence Williams Orton, for merly Lawrence Williams, of the 2d Uni ted States cavalry, one lime on tien. Scott’s staff, and late General Bragg’s chief of artillery, and Lieutenant Dunlap, of the rebel army, where arrested and bang as spieces last night at Franklin, under the following circumstances : They made their appearance at Frank lin in full Federal uniform, horses and equipments of Colonel and Major, and, presenting themselves as inspectors of the United States army, having orders from Assistant Adjutant General E. A Town- son, and countersigned by Gen. Rosen- cran3, to inspect the fortifications of this Department. Colonel Watkins grew sus picious of them, and communicated his doubts to Col. Baud, who telegraphed to Rosencrans if auy such persous held posit ions in the army. Gen. Rosencrans re plied in the negative. Documents of a treasonable nature and contraband infor mation were found on them. Gen. Rosen crans ordered a court martial, and this morning they were hung. Col. Baird telegraphs that they were spies of no or dinary character. Orton was cousin to General Robert E. Lee, and was brother of Williams, late on McClellan’s staff. [This attrocious act of hanging these men is confirmed by official dispatches re ceived at Washington from Rosencrans himself. Here is another chance for oar Government to carry out its threat of re taliation.—Rich. Examiner.] Frarn I.auiaiaun. The Natchez Courier, of .Tune 5th, says : Gen. Taylor and his troops, from all accounts, made a pretty clean thing of the attack on Camp Perkins last Sunday. There were over 2,000 Federal troops in that camp, a part of the investment of Vicksburg, and placed there as a guard to the outlet of the main army from Grand Gulf to Milliken’s Bend. The attack of General Taylor was short and decisive.-— According to the accounts from all sides, a few Federals escaped to a gunboat which was riding at anchor a short distance off; the most, however, were either killed, wounded or captured. There are a series of Federal camps, commencing at Grand Gulf and extending to Lake Providence— thus forming a half circle in front of Vicks burg in the Louisiana parishes of Madison and Carroll. For some time it was through this channel that General Grant obtained a portion of his supplies, ana on this roate he marched most of his giant army to the base of operations against Vicksburg, located at Grand Gulf. With Gen. Tay lor on the Louisiana side and Gen. John ston on Mississippi hills, we fancy Gen. Grant’s position and siege will prove any thing but pleasant and profitable. The Federals may yet he aroused from their fancied security to find their own supplies in danger, perhaps entirely cut off, and the Confederates, instead of being starved out, subsisting sumptuously on their rations.— Such things have happened, and may again. At all events the march of Taylor and liis brave troops has commenced, end there is no telling where they may pene trate into the enemy’s formidable line. Glorious Victory at Winchester. Richmond, June 17th.—A dispatch da ted the 16th from the Rockinham Regis ter to the Associated Press at Richmond, says that Gen. Early attacked the ene my at Winchester on Sunday, fought him on Saturday, and lenewed the attack yesterday, morning at four o’clock. After a struggle of one hour the aboli tion flag was lowered and onr victorious veterans took possession of the town, when the command of Milroy surrended, six to seven thousand strong, together with all their stores, &c., embracing several hun dred horses s nd wagons , equipments, ar tillery and trains. Our loss in killed wounded and missing doe9 not exceed one hundred. No officers killed. Milroy is endeavoring to escape, bat it is rumored that he has since been cap tured. Col. Olcott, endeavoring to reinforce Milroy with about two thousand men, was captured by Gen. Edward Johnstou on Sunday evening near Berryville. [Olcott was no doubt maicbing to the relief of Milroy from Harper’s Ferry. Berryvilte lies a little to the South of the main road from Harper’s Ferry to Winchester, and is but six or seven miles from Winches ter.]
