If our Provost Marshals would keep a steadiec eye upon such characters, and Dot make a show of bu siness by interrupting every citizen as lie passes in bis daily occupation, they might be of some advan tage to the country.

What remedy he has recommended we do not know, not having seen his report; but we do not doubt that the discrepancy, has arisen from some misuudeistanding or misinterpretation of the law as to valuation. The people of those counties only need know their duty to the State, and they will perform it as cheerfully and as faithfull y as those of auy other counties. We can speak with confi dence of the people of Stewart, who have never faltered iff the discharge of any patriotic duty, and who would scoru to seek a partial avoidance of their obligations to the State by paying but lit tle over half tbe tax paid by tbe people of tbe neighboring counties aud those of the State gen erally on (he same dc#eri|'U*>U of property. f Eutjuirer, moment.
