J H E EAGLE. SPENCER A SCHIRMEYER, Proprietors. DEGATUR, INDIANA. THt'RSIMY MOR MN’G. DEC 4, ImiW. The Tax Bill. Umler prrsciit. rircunittnnrvs the American peuple expect to psv heavy taxes, and they submit, to the taxes levied by the bill now in force, with a patience much to the credit of a free people.

ft is not the amount of the tnxes levied by this hill ngniict which the people have a right to complain : but. the manner in which the levy is made, and the u«e of the money so raised— Jt is due from the people to the government that the) pav a tax sufficient to carry it on. They are willing lodo.no. Rm it is not due from ■ people topay the sniai ie« of 'he ten thousand new and unnecessary officers; and a tax which falls most heavy upon the middle classes, is not right. It should reach all as nearly as possible the rich aud prosperous as well as others. Ag ricnltnre is the basis of all progress in the West and a tax falling most ly on agriculture and business with regard to special employment is not. ylght. It should be levied according to wealth Tne poor man is under many obligations to the government for the projection it extends over his person and rights; and the rich man is under many more obligations for the security of hiaperson,his property and the tnioymentof his wealth Some may say this tax bdl does not reach the agricultural interest of theccun try. Let us see: The farmer raises stock; cattle for instances, he sells a beef, the person who buys is a dealer it cattle and for the privilege of buying he pays tax No. 1, which is ten dollars. The dealer sells to the butcher who must pay tax No. 2, ten dollars, for his right to buy. The butcher slaughters the beef for which he must 1 av tax No. 3, so much a head for every one be slaughters; and he sells the bide to the tanner for which he must pay tax No 4, ten dollars, for dealing in hides. And the tanner must pav tax No 5, ten dollars, for tanning the hide The tanner tans it. and he must pay six cents on each side of leather, and one. cent per pound. TaxNo.fi. The tanner thus manti factutea leather nnd must pay ten dollars and three per cent on sales, tax No. 7, for that priv ilege. He sells the leather to the shoemaker, who must pav ten dollars for buying tax No. 8, and the shoemaker must pay ten dollars as a manufacturer, tax No 9. and three per cent on sabs, tax No. 10; nnd the shoemaker sells the leather, made no into boots, back to the farmer who first sold the stock. And can the boots and shoes covered with ten taxes. —the same article t • xed ten times after it leaves the farmers hands and before it comes back again*—for the same price it could be bought if there were no taxes on the article. Os course not. Boo's and shoes have risen from thirty to fortv per cent in value, s’nce the tax IxW rime in force. Each person who pars a tax on the article while in his hands puts on an additional price in order not to be a lo«er; and the result, is. that, the Inst purchaser, 1 who, in th*s section, seven times in eight is the farmer, pays the entire tax on that, article It cannot, be avoid.-d Men cannot pay these specific taxes in addition to their other taxes and ; carry on business at the old prices. The merchant pays ten do lars for selling goods, ten dollars for buying hides; fifty dollars fcr buying wheat; ten dollars for keeping an asbery; ten dollars for having stock. Canyon expect him to Hell at the old prices? He will , not do it.. He will put on an additional price Every per«on who buys an article pays to the government, in the way of high prices, thirty to fortv per cent, of all the money he pays for the . article; that is anv article with reference to which this tax is levied. He may have been . told that it would be light.; hut light or heavy, every nerson who t.uvs or sells as a trader or for hrs own convenience ca testify. And what use is made of the money? It. is no error to say the t | from one half to two-thirds is swallowed up in ; large salaries, paid to officers unknown and tin-| heard of before the present administration, and the ballance swallowed up by greedy and on scrupulous contractors and government swind lars. They say that it is raised to pay the inter est on the public debt, bnt mark whether the (

interest on the public debt is cancelled bv it or not. Would it not have been better for C!oneress to have paid some of this interest with the five hundred thousand dollars placed in Oovcr nor Morton’s bonds than to oppress Indiana with such taxes. The especial inconsistency of this tax is, that it falls so heavy upon ceartain articles. It may nejtrne that th is was the, intention. but look at the inequality. The farmer or mechanic pays thirty or forty per cent, of the price of all the boots or shoes, and many other articles he buys, to the government: while the wealthy man may have ten thousand dollars locked nn in his safe arul not pay'one cent of tax on it. True he must pay three percent on his neat income over six hundred dollars per year; but the boots and shoes we buy are not an income of that descrip ’ion. The high tariff on coffee has raised the price from twelve nnd fourteen cents per ponnd to thirty five. Jt i» said that coffee ships have liecn destroyed. That m»v effect the price some if true; hut no’ much This tariff is to raise re venue but it is so high tat not Ipore than half ’hecr.fTeis sold that used to be at lots prices When the tn rtf Was law much was used end could h«got at Tow pncos;hnt since it was rats, ed we rav nearly throe times the price, and do tiae so much, and conwqpenHv do not raise any more revenue now than we did formerly. We have now the reforms and economy Governor Lane promised us when ho wa« a -andidate We begin to appreciate the change from Democratic to Republican legislation. We now re silk* the hnppv prosper >t>» tiineaof Republican prophecy. We have now Republics wisdom ilemonstrated, and it is clearly proven that pomoerattr Hicnriee of government 're all wrong e-nlftW ReptiMJean rule is all right. w » pappy ciiatige.

We will pay the tax. Our principles arc loyalty. Whatever the law of the land is, that wj ■ ols y. We do not say cf this obnoxious bill *s some luxe said of the "DreiiScot Decision.” that •we will shake lhe nation from cenrre to circumference before we will obey it.” Indiana is wildling to pay the amount due from her; but she would prefer a tax levied with more wisdom and impartiality; one which would tall equally upon all her citizens, and not one, every dollar of which must come out of the ground.

Letter from Gen. Lee to Gen. Halleck. Special dispatch to the New i World, dated Washington 21st. saye: A report is current here, and very generally believed that Gen, Lee oi t’.le rebel army, has recently addressed a for. i mai cotumunicai’.r,n to Gen. Halleck toueb'-jjg jbe proposed issue of an emwei.patiort proclamatian on the Ist of January ' ■ next. It will Oe rmembered that after the 1 i exciting debates in the rebel Congress as I to the propriety of retaliation, tho whole ’ I matter was left to the discretion of the President ot the Confederate Stales, with ■ I instructions to take such measures ns • J would compel the withdrawal of the proc1 lamation, or bring home to the Northern troops some of the evils it threatens ■ 1 against the Southern people. It is stated II that Gen. Lee’s letter is exceedingly 11 elaborate, and dtecus.ses 'he question from every point ol view The points it is said ’ to contain are as follows: First The unwarrantable nature of the ' proclamation so far aa the recognized : measures of military war'are are con . cerned. The fact is pointed out that in | no work on military law is the instigation of a servile war recommended, indorsed, or even mentioned; that, as General Halleck himself never '.bought of it in | discussing the various means that might I be u-edby belligerent enemies the threat of set vile war and insurrection is cleat ly ( 1 not a military procedure; thr t being outsids of law the Southern people are justi-, tied in regarding it as coming under '.he , brutal and savage expiants of a bar-' barous people and resenting it as such; l that the enemy that will use it does an act as unjustifiable as the poisoning of wells or of food the maiming and murderling of prisoners, and the outraging of women On this ground it is demanded that the proclamation be withdrawn. Second it is further urged by Gen. Lee i ‘ that, in case the proclamation is not with- , I drawn, the Confederate military author-j ities, much against their will but strong i in the justice oi their position will be I ; compelled to retaliate in the sternest I mar n r upon all Union prisoners that fall into their hands. It is not specified what ’ punishment will be inflicted, but it is dis- | tinctly intimated that if; through the instigation of the Federal troops, any women or children are murdered by ' infuriated negroes an equal number ot Union troops will be ptompily put to ; ' death On this matter lhe Confederate j Government wishes the Federal Government to understand that it is very much in earnest, and will do even more than it threatens. Accompanying this document, and ad dressed to other members of the Govern ment, it is stated that a letter from a high member of the Confederate Government is nnw in Washington for membersol the Cabinet, arguing the question as to the propriety of rescinding the objectionable proclamation. In addition to the military : arguments urged by Gen. Lee, an argu ment drawn from the recent elections in j the North is made use of by the Confederate statesman. If the Union shall be. restored this document urges, it will be better not to have this gulf of blood i between North and South, ami, even should the South succeed in their efforts, there would ba fewer unpleasant memories to rankle. Notwithstanding these communications | it is still asserted here that Mr. Lincoln Is determined to adhere to the proclama- , tion, and to carry out the radical programme to the bitter end.

' The grand jury having become alarmed at the great hostile messages sent by Gen! Oassitts M. Clay to John Vim Buren and ; Mr. Birdsall came to the conclusion that a i stopper ought to be put to the General s beligerent disposition to murder by and , with force of arms, etc, peaceable citizens ' Accordingly nn indictment was brought in this afternoon against Clay, but imag- ’ I itie the astonishment of the jurymen upon the denial by the general's counsel ot ever having sent a chalenge at all. The fact is it was a hoax got up to create an ' excitement. — Phil. Enq. — ; One of the Saginaw salt companies will 11 on Mondav next commence the shipment of the product of their wells to Detroit Michigan. We learn on good authority that the > Michigan central Company have during s the last sixtv days, shipped over 80,000 r* barrels of salt in bag* over the road. It hti< been offered in such quantities that ■ f the acceptance of the entire amount would i have interfered with the current trans-1 I ‘mission of merchandize. — ... , Fremont’s coaches which he purchased , vea .- at New I lampshire at an expense of about nine hundred dollars each, were’ sold at,auction on V ednosday last in St. Louis, bringing two hundred and fifty dol- .. lars each. "Those coaches were purchased, by Fremont on the Government account i for the especial accommodation of his n staff and attendants. The loss of the t goverment on each of them is about sevti en hundred and fifty dollars counting the » expense of transportation from the place I of manufacture,

[Special to [he Chicago Times ] From Washington. General Burnside stayed in his progress to Richmond— Fhe rebels in strong force in his Rear—Sigel's reserves Compelled to retreat to foil fax — Is Washington in Danger—All lhe able bodied o dicers laid on the shelf. Washington, November 22. 1 On the 18th inst. it was announced with a great flourish of trum|iets that ; • Burnside's army is at Fredericksburg.’ On the 19th it was stated ‘Gen. Burnside I will have his headquarters in Fredericksburg to-dav.’ Now Fredericksburg is I only sixty miles from Richmond—onlyfour days moderate marching. The public therefore having been told that extraordinary vigor was now going to mark the progress of th** campaign. reasonably ' ' expected that Ly ‘L: «?"’<’ at Dinhest Gen , Burnside would be before Richmond — j Credulous public! In the first place j ■ Burnside's army was not and is not now ■ ;at Fredericksburgh. Gen. Stunner's col- \ man has reached Falmouth, opposite Fredericksburg, with the Rappahannock j between them, that is all. And in the second place it has been found and is ac-, knowledged to day in the Administra-1 ; tion organs, that the obstacles in the way | of the army are of such a nature that a week, possibly two weeks, must elapse before any further advance could be made Indeed! So that it is now really found j out that the march to Richmond is after | all not to be a mere gala march of four ' days. There are then really some obsta-1 cles to overcome! Why really this is cer-, tainly unexpected. Who would have | thought that thee® pesky rebels would dare to put themselves between Burnside and Richmond? But.the pesky rebels would have dared to do more than that. The whole of Burnside's grand army may now be said to be, for all practical purposes at Falmouth. Stunner's division arrived first, but the main body under Hooker and the corps d’ armee on the left under Franklin were close at hand.

We have no troops then North of the point where tlie railroad from Manasses crosses the Rappahannock. Take the map and see what a region of country is left uncovered and unprotected. Gen. Sigel’s corps had been left at Centerville and on the line of Bull run, as a reserve w ith his outposts at Manasses Junction, but now mark what follows. In a recent letter I stated that ifthis route to Richmond is taken the rebel army would soon be seen North of the Manassas Gap Railroad. Already the prophecy has l>een fulfilled. The rebel officers had Itmn kept, constantly advised of Burnside’s movements by their cavalry scouts I Their left, wing under Jackson fully fifty I thousand stromr. was posted west of the ' Bine ridge hol<linv Manasses Gap. Snick- ■ er’s Gap and Ashby’s Gap. Through either of these they can when it suits their convenience pour their troops and inarch on this city. As soon then as Burnsid's army had left Warrenton they sent a strong detachment of cavalry through Manasses Gap, with General Stuart in command. This cavalry took possession of ’Warrenton the moment it was evacuated by Burnside. They did more than that. They pushed on to Catlett’s burned a railroad bridge there and then proceeded to Manasses Junction. Gainsville and Centreville. By the time they reached the latter two places they were supported by some batteries of field artillery.

(ven. Sigpl, good soldier as he is. (and ho is a good soldier and a brave and skil- • fid officer.) was taken cowl •telv by snr- • prise by this ino.cm°nt «<» s-dden and; ; unexpected. lie was compelled there- | fore to abandon both Cainsville and Centreville and to fall hack upon Fairfax ■ where he is now. The enemy is therefore now in possession of Center' ill-' and I the lino of Bull Run. The position in a • strategic point of view is incalculable.— I Further up the Potomac on the Virginia I side, we have a small force of cavalry at; Leesburg. Common prudence will die- i fate that they also be drawn in. But,, whether they are or not it is easy to see ; that in a very short period the whole of ! the left wing of General Lee's army will have arrived to the support of those now at Centreville, and that it will be therefore between ns and Burn-ide. What their ulterior designs may be no man can sav. What available force they mav have Ido not know. What means i ! we have here of defending this city, it bei ‘-eems me not to say. The Administration sav they are ample and it is not for me to sav the reverse. But this Ido say | i If in pursuing the chimera of a holiday j march to Richmond, the Administration has placed the capital in peril, they will ■ have done no more than might have been expected. An Administration which re-j moves our onlv great General just when ; jwe wanted him the most is callable of! any folly. Tn the distribution of the com! I mands of the army of the Pstomac the j i Administration has acted (with a single■ j exception) as if it was desirous to deprive I the army of all military talent. The exception is Gen. Sumner a man even’ inch a soldier and unquestionably the ablest General in the army next to McClellan. Next in merit comw General Heintzelman. And where is he? Left out in the cold with a small and unimportant II command on the upper Potomac. Os all > other Generals the one who throughout . i the whole war has exhibited the greatest , fitness to command large bodies of men is ■ unquestionably Fitz John Porter. And I where is he? Dragged from his com-

mand and brought hero and made to coot his heels on Willard's marble floor, while his heart is chairing and fretting to be with his men and while personal malice j and envy are making a footliall of his fame. The charges against him are so supremely ridiculous that the court which tries him w ill kick them out of doors—a fate that ought to be shared by his shameless accusers. To conclude the list, there is Sigel, a brave man and an able General. Yet because he is a German and because he is not in good order with • 1 a certain personage here, he is treated contumely, deprived of the honor of go-i ing to the front and kept in the shade ' of the Washington fortsand that too with j a command so small that 8,000 rebelscan | I drive him back. i The facts which have come to light j within a few days indicate tlrat tbeC*oi»- . federates will depend for the defence of Richmond chiefly upon the elaborate works on all sides of the city, and that they have on foot an expedition, combining both land and naval forces, destined ; to operate against this city. X A Muider at Mahon. A felonious homicide occurred »t Ma- j hon, in this county, late in the afternoon. ■ hist Saturday We give the particulars 01, this occurrence ns they were related to 1 us:

A set ol chairs were sent from this place to Million, on a canal boat lhe sender telli ing the Captain that Mr. Smith, at. Mahon ; the owner of the chairs, would pay fifty (Cents for the transportation. The chairs ; were delivered to Mr. Smith, who refused i to pay fifty cents, saying that twenty five | cents was sufficient. — The Captain of the boat would not accept less than fifty cents and told Smith he would donate him the amount whereupon Smith remarked to the Captain who had a i.--figured nose, that, he had better be carlul or he might have the remainder of his nose taken. That, retorted the captain can’t be done. Then John Slurman, the murderer, who had been standing by listening to the conversation, interposed lhe remark that he could whip lhe whole crew of the boat. A young man Thomas Clarke, one of the boat’s crew, overhearing this, Jumped off the boat, and walking up to j Sturman, said ‘l’m bnt a boy of eighteen and you can’t whip one side of me.’ Scarcely had these words escaped his lips before Slurman had plunged a large dirk or bowie knife into him. Clarke turned to the Captain and asked for his revolver remarking that he was stabbed It was handed to him but ascertaining that, it was unloaded he return'd it to Captain. S'urman wts immediately taken into custody, but asked permission to go and see his family which was granted the constable going with him. Stur i.an con versed with his wife in the presence of the officer at '.he house. Then remarsing to the officer he had a few private words to say to her thev both went out. The constable was in lhe act of following when S’urman violently pushed him back, nnd clotted the door. Upon attempting to open the door he (ou d it held to on ihe outside, but by desperate exertions ne forced it open The wife had been holding the door and Sturman had escaped He was followed and re-arrested at Antioch, He is now in the Huntington jail. Thomas C'arke lingered in agony from the pain of his injuries until Tuesday evening, when he died. He was from Chilicothe, Ohio. Sturman is a deserter from the 12th regiment.— Huntington Democrat.

We hear rumors that the Republicans in this State are contemplating some revolutionary movements to prevent the Dem ocratie T.egi bit’irefrom Eleetinga I’. S, Senator or looking too strictly into Gov-, ernor Mortons .Miii arv operations.— They know his excellency's performances will not bear a close examination, and wiU stop at nothing to screen him, and keep the people in ignorance ot his misdoings. It is said that the Republican members will not attend so that there will bo no quorum. Some hints are also thrown out that enough Democratic members are to Lie arrested to leave the . Republicans in power. Such things are talked of but we cun scarcely believe they will venture to carry out the plot.— if they do, let them look out for squalls They will see such a gathering of Democratic hoosiers at the Capital as will make them quake in their boots, and call on the mountains to hide them from the just indignation of an outraged people.— Fort Waffi& Sen Tax on Shoemakers.
