Succesw In (.lie. A shrewd, intelligent man of the world—and one, too, who had been entirely successful; for from a small beginning, be had risen to the highest place in the department to which he had been attached, and made the fortune of his whole family, brothers, sons, ami nephews, us well as his own, once said to me, “The longer I live the more I am convinced that over-sen sitiveness is a great mistake in a public man.” l~ i.i ..ii -i,- Jo.:..,. succeed in life. Now, I wish tube understood that what is here expressed by the word over sensitiveness, does not signify over-scrupu lousness. Be as scrupulous as you will, but do not be over-sensitive on the scon- of pride, or vanity, or dominant egotism. Every suc cessful man, you may be sure, has hail much to mortify him in the course of his career. He has borne many rebuffs; he has sustained many failures. What if men do not under stand you, are not inclined to encourage, ami exercise the privilege of age, or superior posi tion—bear with it all. Juvenis, your time will come; you may take your cliancc out of the world when you are a little older. Bah! how does it hurt you “Hard words break no bones,” saith the proverb. Aud they break no spirit that is not the feeblest. The world may laugh at your failures—what then? Try again, and perlia|» they will not laugh. Try once more, and perhaps it will be your turn to laugh, “lie who wins may laugh,” saith another proverb. If you have the right stuff in you you will not be put down. If we have the right stuff in us, these failures ai the out set are graud materials of success. To the feeble they are, of course, stumbling blocks. Tile wretched weakling (joes no further; he lags behind, and subsides into a life of failure. And so by this great winnowing process, the number of athletes in the great Olympic of life is restricted to a few, and there is clear space in the arena. There is scarcely an old man amongst us—an old and successful man—who will not willingly admit that he was made by his failures, and that what he once thought his hard fate was, in reality, his good fortune.— And thou, my bright-witted child, who think est that thou canst carry Parnassus by storm, learn to possess tity soul in patience. If suc cess were to crown thy efforts now, where would be thy great success hereafter? “It is the brave resolution to "do better next time,” that lays the substrata of real greatness.— Many a promising reputation has been de stroyed by early success. The good sap runs out from the trunk into feeble offshoots of suckers. The hard discipline of the knife is wanted. I repeat that it is not pleasant: but when thou feelest the sharpness of the edge, think that all who have come before thee have been lacerated in like manner. John Knox and nis Conjugal Rela tions.—John Knox wdto fancied himself a very independent personage, and of whom it is traditionally reported that he never trem bled before the face of man, made, somewhat late in life, the discovery that the face of wo man,Jaffer she has been put in full possession ol conjugal rights, is something more than terri ble. The austere reformer who fulminated his anathema against the “Monstrous Regiment of Women,” and who showed himself, to use the mildest possible term, the reverse of polite in his demeanor toward his annointed queen,was tempted in his old age to wiki a young damsel, and conducted her to his home in the Canon gate of Edinburgh with such grim rejoicings as w'ere then deemed admissible, and not sav oriug of idolatry on t he occasion of a Caledo nian marriage. But John soon discovered that, in departing from the precepts of Saint lu.nl u-lin hnil tilth- likinc for in.-itriinnnv- I,a had made a serious blunder. She of the house of Ochiltree could not forget that the renown ed preacher was originally a vassal of tlie Hepburns; and, being a lady of extraordinary energy and no small amount of self-will, she fairly succeeded in establishing within that queer little mansion, the bay-window whereof is stHl regarded as a curiosity, that very same monstrous female rule against which her spouse had, in earlier years, most vehemently protested. Yet, on the whole, though somewhat addict ed to gew-guws and fal-lals, we doubt not she made an excellent wife to the veteran lie former, and perhaps improved the tone of his manners ami conversation by teaching him the practical lesson that somew here or other, there always does exist a power to which the most wilful and iui|icrious must submit. Therefore, all these instances considered, we heartily join in the cry of “P/arn aut Jhtmr* It is not a men; empty courtesy that allows them to take the precedence. They go before their hus bands because they are the natural leaders: and when domestic strife arises, it is usually the male and not the female who is the party chargablc with rebellion. Upoll (he whole, let us admire and assent to that exquisite provision of nature, which, without unduly favoring either sex, gives the predominance to the stronger intel lect and w ill; and let those who are conscious of being henpecked lay this flattering unction to their souls, that they are no worse off than Marlborongh and Marshal Ney, and reconcile themselves to their fate accordingly.—| Black wood. Novei. Law-suit.—in June last two law yers of Kingston, Mr. G. and Mr. P., agreed to come to Toronto in order to attend the din ner then given to Chief Justice Sir J. B. llole inson. In accordance with this mutual under standing Mr. G. took the steamer at Kingston the day before the dinner, expecting to find ids friend on board. But Mr. P. was not there nor was he in Toronto when the other arrived. Mr. G. felt angered ami aggrieved at Mr. I*, for disappointing him, and rushed to the tele graph office in this city and sent the following message to the absentee:—“You are a humbug, a delusion and a snare. Never believe you any more. Pay for this telegram, and lje thankful it is no worse.” Mr. P. paid for the message, but entered an action in the division court to recover the amount of it. The de fendant was called as a witness and admitted that he sent the message unpaid. lie submit ted* however, that the allegations contained in it were true, that he was justified in making them, and that if in so doing the plaintiff did any act which he w'as not obliged to do, such as paying for the telegram, he could not be held responsible. The judge thought the de fence set up was no justification aud gave judgment for the plaintiff for 50 cents, the doleful countenance of the defendant indica ting that he considered himself an ill-used in dividual.

MATTERS ABOUT TONW. Municipal Court—Sept. 10. Peter Towle pleaded guilty to a complaint charging him with being a common railer and brawler. Sentence w as suspended for ten days, ou promise of good behavior. Thomas liurke, ior drunkenness and dis turbance, was lined two dollars and costs, which lie paid and was discharged. James McGrath, for assault ami battery on his wifi;, was fined five dollars and costs, and ordered to recognize in the sum of $50 to keep the jieace six mouths. Refusing, he was com mitted. The above were the first criminal cases lie fore this court since the 6th inst. U. 8. District Court—Sept. |0. JUDGE WARE. A hearing wa; had before the Court on pe tition for habeas corpus, to release John Finn, late of Lovell, a minor, from his eulistment in the company of militia now forming by Capt. Dooley. It being satisfactorily established that no couseut was given, and that the lad en listed was too young to be compelled to “go for a soldier,” be was discharged. J. O'Donnell for petitioner. Buxton and Holms.—The quotas from these tow ns, numbering 65, came in yesterday and proceeded to the cami>. The men looked as though they would do good service. Ship Charles S. Pennell arrived at this poit yesterday, from Trapani via Gibrultcr 1st ult. She came in with her flag at half mast, her Cajitain, Robert Given, having died on the 10th inst. Capt. G. belonged in Topshain. A company of the 17lh U. S. regiment, under command of Capt- D. H. Chase, num bering about 100 men, marched over from Fort Preble yesterday afternoon and paraded our streets. They were accompanied by Poppen burg's Band. Recruiting Officers.—We call the atten tion of recruiting officers ia this city, to the genera! older of the Governor, and to the no tice of 'apt. Dana, who lias been ordered to take charge of the recruiting business in this city, and to whom recruiting officers here are to report. Attention to this may save some confusion. Auburn, Webster and Lisbon Quotas. The quotas from these towns, numbering 101, formed themselves iuto a company and elected A. C. Pray of Auburn, Captain; Freedom II. Lander of Auburn, 1st Lieut., and Charles W. Gerrish of Lisbon, 2d Lieut. The company came into the city yesterday, acoinpauicii by the East Auburn Band, and marched over to the camp. The martial appearance of the men attracted the attention of our citizens. Health of New Orleans.—We learn from W. A. Goodwin, Esq., that the health of our officers and soldiers at New Orleans was good, and the men were in flue spirits. The percentage of disease among them was not greater than it is in any Northern city. New Orleans for years has not enjoyed so healthy a season as the one just passed. This, in a great measure, is ow ing to the successful efforts of Gen. Butler to keep the streets clean, and to his vigilant sanitary precautions, which have presented the appearance of anything like an epidemic. Recruit*.—Mr. Morris, Post Adjutant at Camp Abraham Liucoln, lias kindly furnished us with the number of recruits that have come Into camp, up to and including Monday. They were as follows: From Androscoggin County, 260 Cumberland 674 Oxford 388 York 160 Total, 1462 Several hundred also went in yesterday, and there is hardly a doubt but that the full quota for this Division will he iu camp this week. Dr. Colton, of “Laughing Gas” fame, makes au announcement for to-night that will cram the house to overflowing. Six of his lady subjects have kindly consented to inhale the delicious “Nitrous Oxide.” Dr. C. lias also taken measures to Insure a large number of our first gentlemen as subjects, and we may naturally expect some rare exhibitions. On Monday night several very dignified persons were seeu to smile audibly. Well, nothing is more healthful than laughter, and one's diges tion would he very materially bencfltted could he eiyoy at least once a week, a right down hearty laughter. We are informed that tickets can lie procured at Dr. Colton’s rooms through out to-day, by those who woqjd avoid the rash at the ticket office. Destruction of Lioirr IIousks ox the Mississippi.—Witt. A. Goodwin, Esq., of this city, who was deputed by the Light House Board to visit the different stations on the Mis sissippi, where the rebels had destroyed the lights, has attended to that duty and returned to this city. We learn from him that the rebels made demonstrations on fifteen light bouses on the Mississippi and Lake Fonchar train. The dwelling house attached to the light house at Passa 1’ Outre, together with tin* uhnrf unrl unit? vpn> tltKimvoti hv fltn_ Tlie light houses and dwelling house at tlie head of the Passes were destroyed by tire, and bo also was tlie light bouse at Bun Fouca.— The apparatus was removed from most of the light houses on tlie Mississippi and the I.ake, and tlie bolts and nuts were concealed. Tlie apparatus was stowed away in different places iu New Orleans, but it has all been recovered, and can be put together at small expense. It is now safely stored at tlie mint at New Or leans. Everything has been recovered and is now in good condition, excepting one 4th order lens, which tlie rebels destroyed. A lull list of everything required to put the light houses in a state of efficiency, has lieen fur nished the Department by Mr. Goodwin, and it will all be sent out from tlie North, and in a few weeks after tlie requisite order is given by the lioard, all of these light houses will again be in operation.

Henry Cox, iu compliance with the invitation extended to him, will address our citizens, to-morrow (Thursday) evening, in the City Hall. PoitTLAND, Sept. 15,1862. Bev.

Capture of the Traitor Howell Cobb. 0,000 Prisoner* Captured. New York, Sept 10. [Special to the World.|—Frederick, Md. 10. After tile battle* of South Mountain Gap and Uurkillsvilie Gap, fought respectively by the forces of ltiirnside and Franklin on Sunday, enemy having been driven from their positions fell hack rapidly to Uoonesboro’, and thence southward to Sharpeburg, and began crossing the Potomac hIkivc and below Shepnrdstowu. The pursuit by our troops was rapid, Hooker following by way of Uoonesboro’, supported by Sumner and Hanks, and capturing a thou sand prisoners. During the morning the ene my breakfasted at Keedysville, three miles from Uoonesboro', but our cavalry soon drove tlicir rear guard from that place, Porter's and Hcno's corps took a shorter road ovi4 the mountain, and arrived at Sharpsburg at sun down, capturing hundreds of prisoners ou the way. Franklin’s corps, supported by Couch’s di vision, passed through Uurkittsville Gap, which he captured, so handsomely striking the road leading direct from Uooucslioro’ to Har per’s Ferry, and thence moving in the direc tion of tiie latter place, gaining Klk Kidge, which flanked the chemy's position, and brought them within good range of our artil Franklin’s corps fought a brilliant battle Sunday evening at Uurkittsville Gap.

The following is to the Uallimore American: The intelligence from the front this morning is of tin- most cheering character, notwith standing the had news from Harper's Ferry. Gen. McClellan was pursuing them with a vigor most destructive to the enemy. McClel lan pursued tlie enemy on Monday morjiing with Ills reserves, ami a large body of fresh troops. The enemy took the road towards the river, at Harper’s Ferry and at Shepardatown, and he was pursuing and shelling their retreat, with great loss. In several contest Monday, where they made a stand, our troops charged on them w ith such vigor that they fell back from point to point in great haste. Tlie battles and advantages obtained Monday, are thought to be superior in importance to'tliat of Sunday. The Drayton, S. C. brigade is entirely gone, either killed, wounded or prisoners. The 17lh Michigan, a new regiment, done up this brig ade, first with bullets and finally with bayo nets. llowell Cobb was wounded and taken pris oner, and will lie back to Frederick sooner than lie Insisted he would. McClellan was pushing on after them last evening, however, very close, and had already sent to the rear 8000 prisoners and four batte ries. Col. Slrong of the 10th Virginia and Col. James of the 3d South Carolina balta{jou were killed Sunday last. Their bodies were left in our possession. The South Carolina I. •_■ ..l.ii i Gen.

Grierson, with 370 men, came up with the enemy beyond Coldwater, near Cochrane’s cross roads. They were a portion of Jackson’s and Pierson’s cavalry and a number of infan try, amounting to about 800 to lotst. They were posted and commen -ed the attack but were driven two and a half miles, through heavy timber. In the affair four of the enemy were killed and 70 or 80 wounded. That night Col. Grierson camped between the cross road and Hernando and remained during Wednes day in Hernando, and the next morning he moved in the direction of Coldwater and came oil the enemy’s pickets at Coldwater bridge, lieliind which they lay in force. They tired the bridge hut moved otf and the bridge was so far saved, that alter some repair* the fede ral forces crossed. The enemy retired as they advanced, and Grierson entered Scnatatia, w here lie burned the railroad depot and eon tents and three ears. Several scattered parties of guerillas were also coming up and disap jieared while the events were proceeding.— The main laxly of the federal* under Gen. Smith, destroyed the railroad bridge over the Colwater, eight mites lieyond Hernando and tore up u portion of the track, by which means the niiload connection of the Hernando is des troyed.

He came up with the ittli Virginia cavalry, charged after them through the town an 1 two miles out on the Hagerstown turn pike, capturing two of their guns and killed and wounded about thirty of the cavalry.— Gen. Richardson's division living in the ad vance took the road from this place towards Sharpshurg, two and one half miles from which town he caine up with the enemy in large force, who occupied a long ridge of hills. They showed a line of battle one mile ami a half long. The afternoon was spent in ascer taining the position and force of the rebels, not a suffici. •i t number of our troops having come up to bring on an engagement. (September Uith.

BATTLE AT SOUTH MOUNTAIN. Defeat ami Rout of the Enemy. Fifteen Hundred Prisoners Captured. REBEL LOSS 15,000. Booxesboro’, Md., Sept. 15. The battle of South Mountain was fought yesterday, and resulted in a complete victory to the army of the Potomac. The battle field was located in the gorge ot the mountain, in the turnpike road. About 1 o'clock the corps under Gen. Iieno was ordered to ascend the mountain on the left, and make an attack on the enemy’s Hank. At o o’clock Gen. Keno’s troops got into ac tion. The rattle of musketry for about half an hour was terrible, when the enemy gave way, leaving our men in possession of that portion of the ridge. Gen.Hooker, commanding McDowell’s corps and the Pennsylvania reserves, ascended the mountain on the right for the purpose of mak ing an attaak on the rebels’ left, lie got his troops into position and moved upon the ene my about two hours before sundown. Here o,tir troops were successful, driving tha enemy before them with great slaughter. Tlie rebels sutfereil the most here. Gen. Hatch, commanding the division under Gen. Hooker, was wounded in the leg. Gen. Gibbons’ brigade, composed of 2d, Oth and 7th Wisconsin, and the Jttth Indiana regi ments, were ordered to move up the gorge of tile mountain. This brigade did not get into action till utter dark, which lasted till near 0 o'clock. This brigade lost about 120 killed and wounded. The rebels were driven back tor about a mile, wlien Gibbons’ brigade was relieved by a portion of Sumner's corps, who held the posi tion during the night. Tiie rebel troops engaged were Longstreet’s, D. H. Hill’s and A. 1‘. Hill’s corps. Had our troops bad two hours longer of daylight, the greater portion of tile rels'i array would have been taken prisoners, as they were surrounded on three sides, and tile only mode of escaping being a narrow defile in the moun tains, whieh the artillery would have made impassable. Among the rebel officers known to be killed were Gen. Garland of Leesburg, and Colonel .Strong of the l'.tth Virginia. At daylight our worst fears were realized. The rebels under cover of the night had left on their way to the Potomac. They took the road towards Sharpsburg. They left all their dead on the field, and those of their wounded not able to walk were found in the churches at Boonesboro’. Gen. McClellan was on the field the whole day and night, and conducting all movements in nerson. Between 1200 and 1300 prisoners were taken during the day, the most of the m by the troops under Gen. Hooker. Yesterday Gen. Franklin's corps advanced to a mountain pass six miles nearer Harper's Ferry, where he engaged the enemy, holding that |*ass for about three hours, resulting in a complete rout of the enemy ami heavy loss. Our loss in the action was about 250 killed and wounded. The rebel loss during the day and night was fully 15,000 killed, wounded and missing. Gen. Lee acknowledged to the citizens of Boones boro’ that they had been defeated with terrible loss. Our loss in killed and wounded will proba bly reach 3,000. We lost but few prisoners. Surrender of Harper’s Ferry to the Rebels. 6000 FEDERALS TAKEN PRISONERS. COL. MILES BADLY WOUNDED. Washington, Sept. 1(1. Harper’s Ferry was surrendered to the reliels at 10 o’clock yesterday, alter Col. Miles had been severely if not fatally wounded. The officers and men, supposed to be about tdXK) strong, were parolled. The Empire State and John Brooks arrived at Annu|H>lis this morning, with goGO parolled prisoners from Richmond. They were placed oil board these vessels on Sunday. The pris oners were captured by the enemy at various places during the past four months; among them are F. A. Lamb, Drummond, C. W. Moore and II. C. Buell, military telegraph op erator^ who were taken in the latter part of May m the valley. They assisted at Belle Island in consummating the parole of their companions. They had no opportunity of as certaining tlie condition of atfairs at Rich mond. About sixty civilians captured on the peninsular and on recent battle-llclds. having gone thither to attend to the wounded, are confined in the Libby prison. They are not regarded as prisoners of war. Baltimore, Sept 1(1. The following is from a special dispatch to the American, from Frederick:—The combined forces of I.oring and Jackson stormed the works at Harper's Ferry yesterday morning, and captured the position. Miles is said to have made a desperate resistance. Accounts differ, as some say he was wounded after ho hoisted the white llag, and other accounts are that he was killed or fatally wounded Indore the surrender. All our forcers were parolled, numbering (5000. some of whom have arrived at Frederick. When the parolled men lett the enemy were preparing to blow up the three spans of the iron bridge. Reports were circu lated to-day in Frederick that Hen. McClellan had retaken Harper’s Ferry, hut they were not deemed reliable. Frederick, Sept 1(1. I regret to have to announce the surrender of Harper's Ferry with all the forces und stores there to the enemy at 0 o’clock Monday morning. Enlisted men ami some officers have been carolled, and arrived here from there. I gathered the following particulars from them: The rebels commenced the attack on Friday noon on our forces on Maryland heights. Skirmishing continued through the day and renewed on Saturday. The enemy w as driven hack with considerable loss. They came up several times and were repulsed, when it was discovered that they were approaching in an overwhelming force, amt the order was given to spike tlie gnus and throw them down the mountains. The whole force from the heights then returned In safety, the guns from amp Hill shelling the enemy when they attempted to pursue our retreating men. On Sunday morning a party of our men ascended the heights and brought away their field pieces which they had left, unspiked. Sunday, at noon, tile rebels appeared in great force on Loudon heights. Miles shelled them from point to poiid. Sonfe of their guns were dis lodged,hut they still managed tokeepupa brisk tire from some of their batteries, which were run back out of sight and loaded. The can nonading was kept up all day without doing much damage. The tiring ceased at dusk Sunday evening, and was resumed again Mon day morning at daylight, and kept up till ft o'clock, when Colonel Miles ordered the white llag to l»c raised. There was considera- ble fog and smoke, and the enemy, either did not pee the Hat:, or would not see it, and kept up a heavy lire for three quarters of a hour. About ten minutes alter the llag was up, a shell struck Col. Miles, shattering his leg, and it was amputated Ik* lb re the prisoners were parolled. There were 2J0U cavalry in the command, all of whom hut about forty escaped I about 8 o’clock Sunday niirht, and cut their way through to Greencastle with but little loss. The balance of the troops, numbering from (50tN) to 8000, with Gen. White’s com mand from Martinsburg, were all surrendered. Gen. Howe captured an aid of Gen. Stuart’s Monday afternoon, who was making his way from Harper’s Ferry to Boonesboro, with a dispatch from Gen. Jackson to Gen. Lee, an nounciug the capitulation of the place. The I aid supposed Lee was at Boonesboro, w hich j place w as in our possession. This w as the I first intimation of the surrender that our gm erals received. At this time Gen. Franklin was within three hours march of the Ferry, i going to the relief of the lieleaguercd command, Whither it had been sent by Gen. McClellan us s. Passengers from Monocracy report seeing paroled prisoners from Harper's Ferry, Wllo report the surrender of Harper's Ferry on Monday morning, after a most determined de fence, and the death of Col. Miles, who was killed by a shell, taking off one of his legs. According to these reports, Col. Miles eavne nated Maryland heights Saturday evening, after exploding one of his guns and throwing the rest down the ris ks. The officers were allowed to go out with their side arms and horses, and the men with their personal effects, which idicates that the surrender was conditional. The railroad bridge and Potomac bridge were standing, and the rebels were reported to be evacuating the Marylaud heights. Mitmfordsville, My., Sept. 16. The rebels under (Jen. Bragg attacked our forces this morning, and it is said there lias been lighting nearly ail day. The federal forces under command of Col. Wilder, are fighting bravely,and are determin ed to hold the post. The enemy’s force is large. Later.—We learn that a portion of Buell's army 1ms arrived, and are engaged with Bragg’s force.

Citizens residing in the large business centres of this district have doubtless read it, ami can hence form their own conclusions in relation to its provis ions; but as there are inadv in the agricultural sec tions who may have been unable to ordain a copy for examination,! »iSi to call tlieir attention to some of its principles. Soon after the relndlfoi^broke out. Congress found it necessary to assess a small direct tax on the sever al .States, to maintain the credit of the country. The States being authorized to assume the payment of the sum demanded of them, had the power to assess it upon all the property within their limits. Farms and ot tier real estate being, from their na tnre, more exposed than other objects of taxation, would suffer severely from the constant draft for money, created in sustaining the government during this war. and they could not long endure the burdeu a direct tax would impose upon them. Maine's proportion of that tax has Ik en liquidated and paid. Iu order to provide in part for the future expenses of the war, Congress wisely determined to raise money from the people without State interven tion, and without taxing the prrKiticing e asses. To effect this object, and to make the tax equal iu every State, they have passed what has been termed an Ex cise Act. Passing by the farmer, the mechanic, the fisherman, the lumberman, and many other pursuits so essential to our prosperity as a people, this act levies its light contributions upon tne wealth, the luxuries, the pleasures, and business of the country. It confines its operations chiefly to the cities, towns mid villain**, and irntliora if* rr>virlian* dims in which floats the money of the country. It does not tax real estate of any description, nor with a very few exceptions, personal property. The excess oveV 40 ounces of silver spoon* or plate, and riding carriage* of all descriptions, valued with the harm's* at $*7f» and upward*, must be assesses!. With the exception of thme two items, there is not prnb ably a farmer nor a mechanic in this district, within the net. These are taxed at a sum so inconsiderable that it is to Ik* hoped every citizen who desires the perpetuity of his government will, in this terrible cri sis of its affairs, assume cheerfully his proportion of its necessary burdens, and if he' is fortunately the owner of an article liable to be assessed, put a value upon it which shall briug it within the act. It mar be the only opportunity he will ever have to contri bute a dollar for the preservation of bis government. The professional man the retail trader whose sales exceed one thousand dollars per year—the man ufacturer of anv article the sales of which exceed six hundred dollar* per year—the hotel keeper—the man whose yearly income exceeds six hundied dol lar*. and several other employments aw to be assessed. It i* presumed all such are conversant with the pro visions of this act. 1 would call their attention to section* from six to eleven, inclusive, and section HTty-eight. These sections impose the duty upon every person liable to Ik* assessed for a tax or license, to call imme diately upou the assistant assessor and make up and sign their several assessments. If they neglect so to do. he is required to increase their tax fifty |K*r cent., and 110 discretionary authority is vested in the a*.*is tant or the assessor to make any abateiueut of this amount. See section 11. It will be perceived by a careful examination of these sections, that Congress, relying upon the patri otism of the business men of the country, proceeded upon the hypothesis that every one liable to be taxed would substantially assess himself, ami sign the bills fixing the amount lie was to pay. If the act. there fore is complied with, the Assistant assessor is hut a recording officer, who receives and properly enters the lists delivered him by the citizen, ami his duty in relatiou to fixing a valuation upon object* liable to taxation, is rather advisory than absolute. In order however to prevent the selfish, the indifferent, or the traitorous, from escaping tlieir proper proportions of the public burdeu. Congress ha.* fixed the penalties for their neglect, prescribed in section 11. Having been intrusted by the* President with tlic dntv of seeing that these tax liata are properly pre pared, and seasonably delivered to tin* collector of this district, I respectfully request all good citizens within it to call immediately upon the assistant ass*** sor of the assessment district where they reside, and deliver him lists as re*piired in the sixth m otion of the act. lie w ill give all pereous the necessary in formation to enable them to comply with its provis ions. and furnish blanks therefor.

The bov was put un der the care of Dr. B., and after groat pa tience and perseverance, with his electrical treatment and with other curatives, he was able to lift liis eye lids, when It was discovered that a false membrane had formed and covered the entire eyes. This was removed by Dr. Boynton, and the boy’s eye-sight is now entirely restored, and his eyes stronger than ev er before. This should be known to all persons who arc similarly afflicted. Although I understand that the Doctor has for many years, in his operations on these delicate organs—the eye and ear, met with em inent success, he lias not deemed it necessary to keep blazing before the public his surgical skill in this par ticular part of Ids profession, but lias been silently performing cures, many of them of a remarkable character.
