If they had reason for the vaunts they iterate so persistently we should not long be in ignorance of it. At this crisis the smallest rebel victory would be exaggerated tenfold, for never before did the rebel soldiers and the Southern people stand in greater need of encourage ment. They are silent of Sherman be cause they dare not report his progress. Our Government is not absolutely ignorant of his position. The plan on which he moves is sound, and he has the power to execute it successfully. Oun Charleston correspondence shows that the work of regeneration has already begun in that city. By the power of the sword that drove out rebellion free schools are established, and the triumphs of war are made to minister to the perpetuation of peace. WASHINGTON.

The Supreme Gourtof the United States to-day decided a case involvirg many international and municipal -questions in the law of prize. It was that of the United States, appellant, against Elizabeth Alexander, the •claimant of seventy- two bales of cotton, an appeal from the Southern District Court of Illinois, which had awarded restitution to the latter. This was a teat ease, involving all the cotton, valued at over two millions of dollars, captured by the navy during the Bed river expedition. The cotton was claimed brthe navy as lawful prize of war on the general ground of heldgexent rights, that-p&rt.of Louisiana being claimed as the enemy’s country. The cotton was taken on land, at various distances from the water, teams having bees, ■sent out to gather it- The claimant took the amnesty oath under the proclamation of the President, although ihe had taken no part in the rebellion. The argu ment occupied, several days—the Attorney General, the Assistant Attorney General, and Charles Bakes, Esq.* of Washington, representing the Government and captoTs, and Messrs, B. M. Corwins, of- Cali fornia, and William M. Springer, of Illinois, helag the counsel for the cl*lnfant. The court, by Chief Justice Chase, decided that there could be no ielzare as prize of war of private property by the navy on the in land waters of the United States or on laud since the acts of Congress of 1881, 1883, 1863, and 1834, aad that, therefore, this property was hot in that view a lawful prize of war. But the court thought the property should have been turned over to the treasury officers, ss cap tured or abandoned property, under the act of March 12, 1868 Thisact prescribes the means by which loyal citi-. aena may rcovex compensation. The libel was ordered to he dismissed. Thus the navy was ignored in this case. The Court also held that the possession of the Bed river country wj's temporary, huUocgenoughio secure the rights of property to the citizens of that part of Loui siana, and that the election then held In the Bed river country was not legal, and conferred no right*. Special Session of tbe U. S. Senate. SBW BBBATOB FBOM MABYLABO. Hr. JOHWSOH, it Maryland, presented the creden tials of J. A. J. Cresswell, eiecfsd Senator by the Legis lature of Maryland. Is place of Mr. Hicks, diseased. He was qa&lifitd, end took Ms seat. TAYMKST OF MILBAS3, BTC. Hr. LANK. of Kansas. moved that the Senate proceed to the consideration or the resolution to par compensa tion and mileage to the claimants of- seats from Loaisi* ai-a and Ark&mae, and against which the committee to audit the contingent expenses had reported. Mr. SUMNER called attention to the fact that this resolution involved an expenditure of nine thousand iix hundred dollars One of the persons, Mr. Eishb&ck, could not take the oath required of every Senator, with out committing-perjury. , „ Mr..LANEeaia that was not true. Mr Fishback was known to be a ndical Republican from the commence ment of the rebellion* and was one up to this moment, and opposed in every poesibM way the ordinance of se ceraioiuuatil he was compelled to tote for it to save his life. The Senator lrom Massachusetts (Mr Sumner} had inst voted to print a .book from the Academy of Science. For himself (Mr. Lane) he was not disposed to do a wrong to save a little money. Mr. TRUMBULL, of Illinois, did not see what claim the tentlemen claiming seats from Arkansas c?nld have to mileage. The Committee on the ? Judiciary had iu vettigatod the matter-..m the Senate, by a decided vote, declared they were not entitled to seats.' Tuts was done at the first session of the late Congress, and they were paid mileage >n* ago; but, after it was do elded that they were not entitled to seats, and although -ano new election had taken place, they again come nere and ask to be admitted to seats. He then proceeded to state the grounds on which the Committee on the Judiciary came to the conclusion to recognize the n*w State Government of Louisiana Its Constitution was one of the most liberal in the United grates. Oae clause abolished slavery and prohibited the Legislature from passing any law recognizing property ie man Rot only are white males entitled to suffrage bnt the Legislature has power to extend it to other persons. Jive- sixths of ine State Constitutions do not allow colored people to vote, and, prohibit fthe Legislatures from making laws to enable them to do so Education for all the children in the State was provided for by its Eree State Constitution $ be object of lecornizin* that Government w&i to get rid of tie military usurpation He proceeded to snow ■'that notwithstanding the military orders issued- no loyal ?ieopie were prevented from voting, and farther, that wo-thirds of the people of the entire State took part in 'the election of the delegate's to the Convention which trained the new t constitution , . Mr. WADE, of Ohio, expressed his astonishment that the Senator should now make an elaborate speech He -could only conceive that it was made up to be delivered .at seme time before the Senate adjourned. Tie ’law making power had drolared Louisiana to bs in rebellion ag&in*tthe people cf the United States. It was not In ■lthe powerel the President to brtoi back any State which was deliberately opposed ioa republican Government. .'The people are utterly unqualified to set up a State Government until the barriers are removed and Con dess declares they are in a condition to establish a Go vernment for themselves. The bringing back of a State was not to te initiated by the President The President. -could no more, by order No. 3d, authorize a rebellious State to set upu government than he could create some* thing out of nothing. He had striven to elect the Sesldent, but he never could sanction such a ocessasfhat It was a dangerous precedent, and, if continued without our assent, would reduce our Go vernment to a mere military despotism If such a course could be pursued in Louisiana. it could be done in all the other rebellious States, and. there might be introduced here a* Senators mere creatures of the Pre sident, representing military power.. Wbali the Senator irum Illinois sanction this?—to bring in here unwished rebels, men who have perjured themselves to the 'lowest hell* to associate with the patriotic Senator from Illinois Sir, it will never do Michael Hahn wa* the -cssdidate of the President, who said to him, In an order, ** He Governor of Louisiana, 5 ’ and Ibis was done -without conKu'tint the Senate or any other body The &n&tor from Illinois had urged that the people of Loui tlananad acted without restraint, and that two thirds cf the people h*d taken pan in the election WiU you -perm t two thirds to make a Constitution for the entire people, w hllfl the other third is in dares* ? Is that your iute? Be made further remarks on the subject Mr. TRUMBULL moved an amendment to toe resolu tion, to as to provide for paying only the Louisiana 'Claimants, pending which the Senate went into exscu div* session, and subsequently adjourned AN EXPEDITION DP THE.

KO BEPOETS OF BHERMAN. ALL QUIET HEAR RICHMOND. . Washington, March 10. —Richmond pipers,, of Wednesday, March Sth, have been ''received. They are very boastful over the absence of news from Sherman, hut a specimen of their reliability may he seen in the fact that the Whig says that “new© from the valley re-' ports all quiet.” N - THB BILL TO ABU SLAVES. On Wednesday the bill to arm negro slaves was ta ken up mid read in open session, as follows: “ Section 1. The Consress oP tbe Confederate States of America do enact, that in order to provide additional forces to repel invasion maintain rightful possession* of the Confederate States, secure their independence -And preserve their in*iiiuttonf>, the President be, and he is hereby, authorized to a*k fur and accept from the owners of slaves the services of ench- number of able bodied negro men as he mav deem expedient for and during the war to perform military service, in what ever capacity he may oirect. .. “Sec, 2.

The Richmond Enquirer of the Bth s»y* the Back of Virginia la redeeming six dollars of its notes with one of gold. It calls upon the Confederate authorities to seize the gold for the defence of Richmond. It says it is needed now, and the strong arm of power should be felt in that direction. - * , .. President Lincoln’s inaugural address is published In all of Thursday’s Richmond papers The Enquirer says: “It reads like the tail-end of a sermon ” The Richmond Sf.ntinel of the Eth ihst says: We have a vtry important piece of news which comes* direct from New Orleans, and implies the prospect of serious difficulties between the United States and France. It is the confirmation of previous reports in .Northern newspapers to the effect that the United States Consul at Matamoros, who was accredited to the Juarez Government, has been ordered away by Maximilian. It is also said that clearances for United States merchant vessels from that port are now refused. TBB TAX BILL. “ Both Houses of Congress* ©weeded, yesterday, in passing a tax law. It levies a tax of eight per cent, on all properiy not expressly taxed at a different rate; on specie and bills of exchange, twenty per cent.; on cur rency five per cent. The interest of Government bonds is taxed as income under the existing law. Upon the pro fits made by buying and selling merchandise or proper ly of any. deserlption, between the years 1865 and 1866, a tax o! ten per cent, is levied, in addition to the tax on such profits as income, and upon all profits exceeding twenty-five'per cent., a tax fof twenty-five percent.' The property i and the income and money s of hospitals, asylums, churches, schools, and charitable institutions are exempt from taxation; also all properiy within the lines of the enemy shall be exempt from taxation as long as it remain s within such lines. The taxes are made due and are to be collected on the first day of Jnne next, one half to be paid id Treasury notes, and the other half at the option of the party in certificates of indebtedness, without any allowance for interest. It is alio provided that upon all subjects of taxation mentioned in this act, and the act approved 17th Febru ary, 1864, there shall be assessed for the year!BSsan additional tax equal to one* eighth of the amount of the tax on the same subjects imposed for the year 1865, which tax shall he payable in Treasury notes of the new issue, and the money arising therefrom shall be first appropriated to the payment of the increased com pensation of the soldiers; provided that this additional tax shall not be construed to apply to or increase the tax in kind. The following important section we quote at length; Consists having intended by the act of 17th Febru- Jone, 1664, only the said act of 'i7th.-February, 1861, ary,lS64,entitled,&c. .asl&mended by the act of 17thFebr amended in so far as it can be io operate otherwise than as thus intended, shall- be end the same is hereby repealed, and all the taxes ..imposed by tail act shall be paid without any discount or credit for the ' value of the tax in kind or the income tax, and ail the taxes on income and profits under existing iawa'shaU ■ be paid without any credit or deduction of the ad va lorem tax. The Whig of the Bth saya: “ Sherman is played out. If our readers do not hear or read of any good news from South Carolina It is a npn-eequitur that there is nose to communicate In a few days they will hear where Sherman Js’.and what has befallen him. Let everybody, bepatient Sherman’s opportunity to. es-, tablish'aWiKtary reputation has fed, and we will soon hear of his discomfiture and disgrace. ” The Charlotte ßulletin of the let inst»,inan .article on the situation, says: “If the army of Gen. Lee defeated that of Grant at Spottsylvania, and around the Virginia capital, when the Yankee commander counted his . two hundred and twenty-five thousand men, and we had less than sixty thousand, why may we not as severely punish.the two combined Federal armies, whose aggregate -will be less than one hundred and fifty thousand? “The lines about Richmond are-impregnable. The resources of Virginia have b*en held in reserve. Not withstanding more than a month has elapsed since the sran&iies of Georgia and a portion of South Carolina have been cutoff, the men of Lee’s army still live on full rations, and there is no reason to apprehend that they will fail to ezjoy plenty to the end. ” The Fayetteville Telegraph assures Its readers that it is not the wish of tha Government to conceal anything from them, but to prevent, if possible, the Yankee forces in "Vf ilmlngton and South Carolina from learning anything of the movements of each other. AH our in formation thus far is of as encouraging character. SEWOBLEANS. RAILWAY ACOIDBWT—SOLDIBBS KILLBD—SHIP »BWB.

CITT ITEMS Splendid Chancb fob a “ Rieb” in Oil.—There have been masy thousands of dollars made within the last few weeks from the advance In oil stocks, and the most sagacious predict that the furore In Petroleum will go on Increasing for some weeks te come. Unquestionably, the way to make the best speculative u strikes” now is by securing the most promising stocks coming on the marketfat suhtcrip tien prices. The great advance In “ Sugar Creek” has sent lands In that Immediate vldlnlty up to fabu lous prices, as It Is believed to be fully as certain as the best lands on Oil Creek, while the oil It yields Is more than twloe as valuable. The 11 Ashland” Oil Company, the stock, of which Is no.w nearly all sub scribed, own a very large fee simple Interest directly adjacent to the new, “Sugar Greek” well. Its lands, of course, were purchased before the late ad vance In their value; otherwise their stock would necessarily be Issued at a much higher figure—the present subscription price being Only one 6oltarf>er tlutre. Tho moment the books are closed, whioh will be very soon, it la believed that “ Ashland” will ad vanee to three, perhaps five, times Its cost. Applications for this stock can be made at the Banking House of Messrs, Harper, Dumoy 3t Co,, No. 66 South Third street. We know of no more way of making money quickly than by sub scrlbing In the “ Ashland" Company, Splendid abbobtment of Oobsbtb.—Mr. John M. Finn, Southeast corner of Seventh and Arch streets, has now In store a splendid line .of Corsets, to which we Invite speolel attention. They are fully equal In. quality and' variety to any stock In the city, and the prices of them are lower than the average market rates. We find that among these Corsets there is an article as low as $l.lO per pair—a very superior article for the prloe. Mr. Finn also offers a few odd pair at a still lower figure. We are well assured that an examination of this capital stock of Corsets will Becuia for it the prefe rence over all others In the oity, and would say to our lady readers that for this, and a thousand other fancy articles and things of use, the most popular establishment In Philadelphia Is that of Mr. John M. Finn, Seventh and Aroh streets. We should add that the of these Corsets has been tested, and meets with a large demand, being made from the best quality of whalebone. A Popular Abticlk with thb I,adibs.—We have already taken occasion to speak in approving Iprms of the celebrated " Eureka Zephyr,” of which Mr. John M. Finn, southeast corner of Aroh and Seventh streets, is the originator and propria ttfr. As » substitute for the German Zephyrs, It surpasses, vastly, any other article that has ever been Introduced in the market. In fact, the “Eureka” Is rapidly becoming a universal fa vorite. In fibre It Is almost equal to the Imported article, while In colors, even to the most.delicate shading, tt has never been surpassed, and theoolora, moreover, aw quite equal to the German Zephyrs in preserving their brilliancy. Nor 18 this all. The great economy of using the “ Eureka Zephyr being fully fifty per cent. obeaper than the imported Zephyrs, is another consideration which should not bo overlooked ; nor is It, if we may judge from tho Immense sale which the “ Eureka ” has attained. For all purposes to whioh Zephyrs are, applied, this iplendld substitute Is found to be as desirable as its imported rival, and, being sold at one-half the prloe, we are not surprised to hear or the enormous sales whioh, in Mr. Finn’s competent hands, It has attained.

By the combination of Driller, Hollow Rods, and Valves the detritus or drillings are pomped to the sur face of the well as fast es made, thereby leaving the well perfectly clean, and the Oil Veins opened or uuob* structed; by obviating the frequent use of the Sand Pump and proving it as fast as the well progreases, by the exhtuition of Oil along with the detritus Sd. If the instructions of our engineer are attended to in the preparation of the well, ail the oil can be s&vtd. in many instances enough to pay expense of drilling. 4tb. When Oil Is procured in sufficient quantity to admit of pumpL g, by removing the trips from the sides of tie slide, so a* to enable the nippers to retain their hold, there is then as good a pump as is necessary. 6th.
