"The Direct Tax Bill of August, 1S61, roTided that the State or Territory which houU promptly assume the collection and payment of its portion of the Tax, should be entitled . to a discount of 15 per cent. Nebraska; assumed it by asking Congress to take the.S19,312, levied upon her peo ple," out of tre Legislative appropriation for 1863.'- - Congress accepted the propo sition; but in doing so takes the whole sum and does not allow the Territory the 15 per cent. to. which she is certainly en titled. This was done, 'we presume, through the 'unbounded patriotism of Skisms. He desired to save $2S97 to the National Treasury, which might other wise have been squandered in paying for a short session of the Legislature. He therefore omitted to have it provided that the 15 per cent, should be deducted. It was probably through his habitual neglect of, and indifference to Territorial inte , rests. But since it is so much money saved "to the nation," we par him'orTlh'e back, and recommend 'him to the Repub lican Convention for nomination.- He is decidedly our mzn."-J'ebraska Cilxi Jr$. . The law requires that the States or Territory shall assume, assess, collect and pay it into the .Treasury of the United States; and that notice of such intention to assuma, assess, collect, and pay. into thai Treasury of the United States, the direct tax imposed by .this act, shall be given by the Governor or other proper officer oa or before the 2d Monday in February, 15C2. When this amount shall be actu ally paid in before the last of June, in the year to which said payment relates, then a deduction of 10 per cent, shall be made. ' in fact the Territory never assumed the payment of this tax at all, never pro posed to pay it, plead their inability, and proposed tu diminish the expenses of this Territory, dispense with a Legislature cr pay its expenses themselves- to pre vent the payment of this sum. This discount was in lieu of the ex pense of-collecting the sar.e It th?

A dispatch the headquarters cf the Army cf Virginia, six miles beyond Culpepper, dated the 10th, says a battle was fought yesterday between Banks and Stonewall Jackson. Gen. Eayard, of McDowell's corps, with his cavalry brigade, had been engaged the day before in' the extreme advancenear Rapidan river, skirmishing mancevering, taking some prisoner, and ending with a slight loss aud in baffling the efforts cf a large rebel force to sur round and cut them off. Yesterday he was engaged some hours, and with four regiments of cavalry delayed the enemy's advance until Banks came up. The reb els under Jackson and E wall bad crossed tneCRapidah in force; -their advance, fif teen thousand strong, was attacked byl iianks in ;tne afternoon, six miles soutn of - Culpepper. The fight -was : almost wholly with artillery at first, but the in fantry became engaged about six o'clock, and a determined and bloody contest en sued. Banks right wing, under Gen. Williams, suffered severely. iThe rebel's position was in the woods; 'while-the troops which attacked them were obliged to cross over an open country. It was not until six in the evening that it become evident that the rebels were attacking in force. Previous to that time there had been rather desultory firing. ' "At that time the whole rebel force suddenly at tacked in overwhelming numbers, at all points. Nearly all of their regiments had full ranks in column. Pope arrived on the field in person, at Culpepper, ac companied by McDowell and part of his corps, but the battle was substantially over, Banks holding the same "ground he occu pied at the beginning. After Pope's ari rival the artillery fire was kept .up at in tervals until 2 o'clock next morning. At one time Gen. Pope and staff was so near the rebel lines that a sudden charge of rebel cavalry was made from woods, a quarter cf a nils with a view 10 cap ture them. Theattempt was repuhed by a vigorous fire from McDowell's troops, and the General and staff left the-ground under a cross fire from the troops on both sides. The fire of the rebel batteries was afterwards silenced. Banks was on the field throughout the action, constant ly under fire, handling the troops in per son. His gallantry was highly praised by all officers. - The troops behaved well, air though some regiments retired. in disor der when overpowered by numbers. Gen. Banks was severely hurt by a cav airy trooper running against him. striking him heavily on the side. Col. Kuggles Pope's chief of staf", had his horse shot from under him Two of Pope's body guard were killed. The 2d Massachu setts was in the hotiesi of . the fiiiht and. suffered severely. The 5th Connecticut 27th Indiana and 46th Pennsylvania were also badly cut up. The rebel Gen. Wil der is wounded. Losses very heavy, on both sides not less than 2,000 or 3,000 killed, wounded and missing on each side Some prisoners were taken by Jackson and Ewall, who were both present. Re inforcements to the number of 18,000 reached the rebels last night, about the same time ours came up. There was some skirmishing this morning in front but the troops are so exhausted on both sides, that no serious movements are ex pectea. uenerais irince. Auger ana Geary are reported wounded. , . ' ',' . The Petersburg Express of the 9th says: A dispatch from Van Dorn to Secretary Mallory. states that the ram Arkansas has been destroyed. She left Vicksburg on Monday to co-operate in an attack on Baton Rouge. . After passing Bayou Sasa her maphinery became disabled, and while her crew were attempting to repair it, several 01. tne enemy s gunboats at -111 A ' - lacicea ner. Alter a gallant resistance she was abaudoned and blown up., Her crew and officers escaped., ' : further particulars of the. battle of Culpepper say-- the rebels unmasked .bat teries on the mountain slopes and every hill, making a crescent of batteries of nearly three miles, commanded our own position.- For two hours our batteries were exposed to a cross and flank fire at every point. . Ihe rebels evidently out numbered us in guns and weight of metal. We replied shot for shot until five o'clock, when the rebels opened an enfilade bat tery cn our right. Gen. Banks give orders to cease f.ring and charge this battery, which djty v.-as assigned to Crawford's brigade, of Williams' division. The46ih Pennsylvania regiment led the charge. Behind the battery was a thicket of scrub oak, and before the 46th could reach the guns they were moved down by a terrific nre Jrcm the thicket. The rest' cf the brigade wa3 quickly brought up, and sub sequently the rest of Gens. Williams and Auger's commands; but brigades of rebels, were found at every point. This battle was in a thick wood, with a ravine oa our right. Here nearly; all , their in fantry had been concealed during the shelling, having secured themselves from observation by expelling pur pickets This has probably been one of the hard est cuntested fight in Virginia, lasting un til dark, when our forces retired from the field, taking a new position beyond the reach of the enemy's guns, which were in advantageous position oh the heights. Our infantry was badly cut up. We lost two guns. The enemy's los3 was certain ly greater than ours, as their dense col umns were frequently riddled by our ar till ery. Accounts represent the enemy's estimated force at 20,000; while ours, exclusive cf cavalry and artillery, did not exceed seven thousand. The number of our soldiers wounded is large, but the wounds are generally slight.; .The cum ber killed is small. Yesterdav naming the rebels were not in sight on our front but the indications were that they were reinforced on Saturday night, and were attempting flank movements. 11.
