The returns from the states of Alabama, Louisiana, Mississippi, Arkansas and Texas, have not yet been render'd in complete. The two former States have, nevertheless, paid their tax es in advance. . From the documents furnished, it ap pears that the states of North Carolina and Alabama, have overpaid their res pective assessments, and I will ask leave to submit ao estimate of the amounts to be refunded as soon as the complete returns shall be received. The collection of the War Tax has pre sented several difficulties, which it is proper that Congress should have in view, whenev er a further tax shall be levied. These diffi culties are presented together in a report from the Chief Clerk of the War Tax i fffice, a copy of which is herewith res pectfully submitted- It is also proper to state, that by a judgment of the District Judge of South Carolina, money invested in State bonds, has been accepted from the War Tax. An appeal has been dered from tUis judgment, but as no Su preme Court bas yet been organized, the effect of the judgment will be to release from any future tax all moneys invested in this form in South Carolina, or in any other State wherein the District Judge may hold the same ©pinion. Since the last meeting of Congress, I have appointed three new places of depos it for public moneys, one at Galveston, Texas, one at Knoxville, Tennessee, and one at Augusta, Georgia. The Assistant Treasurer at New Or leans, has removed his office for the time to Jackson, Mississippi, and the deposito ry at Mobile has made a temporary remo val to Montgomery, Alabama.

We learn from persons connected with the Macon & Western Railroad, in this city, that several hundred sacks of salt have passed over that Road, within the past, week, consigned to Agents, appointed by Colonel Whitaker, at Macon, Savannah &C. These Agents are charged w ith the duty of selling out this salt at prime cost, to certain classes of our fellow-citizens, commencing first with soldiers’ families Thus has the (Governor’s plan for supplying our most helpless class of people with the necessary article of salt, at a cheap rate, been put in successful operation. The salt passes over the State and Macon A Wes tern Railroads, freight free—and we sup pose a similar arrangement has been made with all the Kail Roads in the State, so that it will reach the consumer at a very low cost. The energy and patriotism of Gov. .Brown, as exhibited in this and many oth er schemes calculated to nerve and strengthen our people, in this hour of trial and tribulation, certainly entitle him to the thanks and gratitude ofkis fellow-citi zens, throughout he State-r/w/TfTvr and all. But enough—such a spirit as he exhibits, together with such acts speak louder than any words we can use. Since the above was written, we bear ol many more car-loads of salt coining down for the people of Georgia—and it will continue to come. In a short time we shall say more in regard to this matter.

The enemy is before us devastating our fair country—imprisoning our. old and venerated men—even the minis ters of God—insulting our women, and desecrating our altars. It is our proud lot to be assigned to duty of punishing and driving forth these deluded men, led by desperate adventurers and goad ed on by abolition demagogues and demons. Let us but deserve success and an offended Deity will certainly assure it. Should we be opposed, we must fight at any odds and conquer at any sacrifice. Should the foe retire, we must follow him to his own territo ry, and make him taste the bitters ol invasion. Soldiers ! the enemy is before you, and your banners are free.

A Scene.—The Richmond “Presbyterian, - ’ re ferring to the late session of the General Assem bly of the Presbyterian Church North, says: In the midst of the speech of J>r. K. J. Brecltinridge it was announced that Richmond had been captur ed and President Davis with it This was imme- d .ately followed by a scene at which we laope tor the honor of religion and the name of Presbyte rianism, there were some present capable of blush inp. We are told there was “uproarious applause, clapping of bands, &c.”in short, the Church and Genera! Assembly were turned into a threatre. If the discovery that their supposed telegraphic dis patch was a trick of some mischievous boys in Columbus, did not reduce their faces to a graver cast, it is reasonable to hope that later and truer information from Richmond has done it somewhat effectually. But let us dismiss this assembly and all in it who have spoken mo6t unadvisedly. Brigadier General TOOMBS has been released from the arrest under which he was placed by Genera! LoXGSTREET. The arrest was caused by some insignificant deviation from the orders of LoNGSTREET which the latter chose to consider a gross violation of orders.

Within a few weeks great and important changes have taken place in our affairs. A fen- weeks back, Richmond was beieagured with hos tile armies and Kentucky and Tennessee was railroad, and on Tuescky took possesion of overrun with invaders. &mce tnen, the God of - j i battles lias interposed in our behalf, and the proud invaders everywhere driven back with ! Front the Army of Northern Virginia. ! Passengers by the Central railroad, now , almost our only source of information from our armies at Manassas, brought down ! with them yesterday evening no well au- i thenticated intelligence from the great bat- | tie of last Saturday. At the time of their leaving Got donsville it had been telegraph ed thither from Rapidan station, that par ticipants in the battle had arrived at the latter place, bringing intelligence, of the death of Siegel, the mortal wounding of Generals Pope and McDowell and the cap ture by our army of seven or nine thousand prisoners. This is all we could gain of later date than Thursday, the twenty-eighth. But among the passengers were several gentlemen who participated in the fight of Thursday. From them we have the first intelligible, though neither full nor satisfactory, account of the locality of the great three days battle, and the position occupied respectively by the opposing for ces. The battle was fought on the plains of Manassas, our forces occupying the iden tical positions occupied by the enemy at the beginning of the ever memorable bat tle of the twenty first of July, eighteen hundred and sixt^-one, and the enemy oc- cupying the positions held by us on that occasion. W e will lay before the reader the account we have received of the move ments by which we took this position, and the battle that ensued on the day subse quent to our occupancy. On Monday, General A. P. Hill moved down from Salem along the Manassas Gap Manassas Junction, capturing several hun dred prisoners and eight or ten guns.—Gen.

With the strength and resources of these States added to ours, we shall be Sble to meet tbe new levies of Lincoln at the threshold, and drive them back into their own country. But besides the additional strength in men which the posses sion of these States will bring to us, there is no calcalating the amount of benefit we shall draw from them in articles which we so much need. Kentucky, Tennessee and Missouri, are great wheat growing regions, and can supply us with dour. They can also furnish a plentiful supply of bacon, and within Ihiee weeks after they shall be in oar possession, the price of both these articles will come down. During the time these States have been in the hands of the enemy, they have been filled with foreign and domestic dry goods; so that by getting possession of them, we shall reap many of the advantages which we should gain by opening of our ports. Let us take fresh courage and help roll on the ball. IJaviiiil I.aiv, Last week we gave our readers an exposition I of Military and Martial law. and the difference between them, written by Adjutant General Wayne. Military law is the law for the regula tion and government of. Armies. But Martial law, is nothing more or less than the suspension of all law, and substituting, in the place of law, the will and caprice of the Military commander then m power. When an officer declares Martial law in a city or town, he tells the inhabitants by that act, that all the laws made for their protec tion are .suspended, and that they are to live and move and have their being only as he sees fit to dictate. By il/ar'ial law even the writ of Habeas Corpus and the trial by jury, those main pillars of the temple of liberty, are overthrown and tbe will of one man is supreme. Such being the na ture and effect of Martial law, our best Generals have rarely resorted to it, and only in extreme cases when necessity required it as a means of saviDg the people from tbe enemy. No man hai a legal right to declare Martial law except the President, and he has been clothed with this au thority for a specified time, and on certain con tingencies. And officer who declares Martial lav does it upon his own responsibility and must de pend upon the necessity of the case for his jus tification. We publish this week cases where, some of our officers have attempted to suppress and destroy the liberty of the press entirely be yond their jurisdiction. There is no doubt that officers have the right to expel editors or repo:t- ers from their army, if they think proper, but to undertake to suppress the liberty of the presses entirely beyond their jurisdiction, isastretchof power which ought not, and will not be submitted to by a free people. When the freedom of the press is destroyed there will be no other freedom left worth preserving. If any man abuses the liberty of the press be can be punished by law, and there is no necessity of any military com - mander threatening to punish him by the bayonet. i^Tbe present sent us las; week by Mr. Charles Ivey, of this county, with the request to try it and judge for ourselves, was pronounced, by those who know, to be a first rate article of peach brandy.

The Cleveland (Ohio) Herflld has the following account of the arrest of Dr. Edson B. Olds, who recently made a strong political speech, in ffliich he said that the Democrats would be drafted for the war, and the Black Republicans kept at home to do tbe voting. For this speech the Doctor has been sent to Fort LaFayette: We gathered some interesting particulars about this arrest of Dr. L. B.- Olds, at Circleville. the other night. The arrest was made by Mr. Scott, direct from the War Departments, Col. S. Bliss, of this city, and a third man whose name we have not learn ed. On going to the house the married daughter of Olds said her father was abed and could not be seen until morning. Mr. Scott said he must see him, and she replied he should not.

Still no enemy had yet been seen on the portion of the field occupied by General Taliaferro’s division. But about five o’clock, P. M. they were suddenly borne down upon by several heavy columns of the enemy, numbering, it was estima ted, twenty thousand men. The fight was opened on both sides with artillery; at first at long range, but gradually the en emy drew up his batteries to our lines. By six o’clock tbe distance between the com batants bad been reduced to musket range, and the light along the whole line of Tal iaferro’s, Ewell’s and Hill’s divisions be came general. The enemy fought with great obstinacy, being inspired it is thought by the supposition that they had caught General Jackson in small force, and had an opportunity of crushing him. But as often as they charged our lines they were driven back with thinned ranks without being able to move us from our position.—Fi nally , night closed over the scene, and the enemy retired from the conflict. The bat tle was, however, kept up until nine o’ clock by the artillerists on both sides. Our men rested on their position that night, and on Friday morning moved for ward a mile in the direction of the ene- my. Our loss in this battle is estimated at between eight hundred and a thousand killed and wounded. The enemy’s loss is known to have been more than double that number. We notice the few casualties that have come to our knowledge. Gener al Taliaferro was struck three times in the beginning of the action, in the foot, neck and arm. The two first were very slight, but tbe last a painful though not dangerous wound. The General continued in com mand until the close of the action. General Ewell was shot through the knee with a Minnie ball. The bones were so badly shattered as, in the opinion of bis surgeons, to render amputation necessary. When our informant saw him he was being borne from the field on a litter to a hospi tal in the direction of Aldie, preparatory to the operation. Major Lawson Botts, of the twenty-sec ond Virginia, received a dangerous, but, it is thought, not a mortal wound, from a Minnie ball, which entered bis face on the left side and emerged at the hack of Lie head. The ball coursed-around the bones without breaking them. Major Terry, of Wytheville, wes shot through the arm, Captain Fulton through the neck, and Lieutenant Luke through the shoulder; all severe wounds. Cap tain A. V. Scott, of the twenty-third Vir ginia regiment was badly shot in the arm. Colonel Neff, of the thirty-third Virgin ia, was killed. The wounded have all been removed to hospitals established near Aldie, in the county of Loudon. As our informants proceeded towards Gap lie says he was out with a flag of truce at his lines day before yesterday. He went out on the Jonesboro' road yesterday, also with one. I think his plan is to find out our strength oa both sides, to pick a place to slip or fight out. I think we will have warm times here in a day or so. The Colonel says they have plenty of provisions to do them at the Gap except medical stores, (especially’old Bourbon.) My opinion is that th-ir provisions are getting scarce. The send ing out of the scouting party down the moun tain to Baptist Gap, I think, was to see the pros pect to march an army down the mountain.
