Government Taxation It seems to us a great error was made by our legislators at \\ ashington in ißcycos ufj the duty on coffee, as between the du ty and those public sharks, speculators, the prospect is that its consumption will be so materially lessened as in the end to yield less revenue at five cents per pound than ii the duty had been 2or 2J. In this county —and we are informed it is the same case over the State—the consumption of that article has already decreased one hun dred per cent, seven out of ten using one third or one half rye or wheat, and others discarding coffee ait >gethcr by substituting those cereals. And what is most strange, we hear on ail sides that heretofore invet erate coffee-drinkers declare that the mixed article is rqiutf, and with others than the pure ! Now whether it is so r or only imaginary, it is self evident to any discern ing mind that a duty calculated, with the Operations of speculators, to enhance the price of an article wc cannot produce in this country beyond what the people are willing to pay, must result in its partial ex elusion from use, and consequently limited revenue. There are also other causes which until removed by a strict blockade of the Southern eoa t, will keep up the price in the West Indies and South America. At I a recent auction sale in Savannah, Gcor girt, the eIT go of a vessel which had elu , bed the blockade, brought fG cents a pound by be quantity, being at least thice times the price on the northern seaboard. Con scqoenliy if a Rritish, Spanish, or other merchant in the West Indies, should lose two cargoes, hut succeed with a third in reaching n rebel port, lie would still be a g:ii;ie \ A vigorous blockade would soon cure t'ii- part of the speculation, an 1 they would be glad to ship their coffee to opm ports; there met by a moderate duty it would increase, the demand and the govern merit realize a handsome revenue. Another error we think was committed by not at the start taxing liquors of all descriptions. Thus an excise duty of 25 or 50 cents per gallon on whisky and ufh t r liquors distilled or manufactured for sale Jti this country, would produce far more revenue than will ever be derived f rom cof fee or tea. It would besides aid more ef fectually in producing a moral revolution among those who now are daily endanger ing life and health by the intemperate use of liquor than any measure ever adopted. Kven should it lessen the manufacture ma terially, it coulu still he made to yield an immense revenue —probably as great as that derived by Great Hritain from tobacco, which, if we remember rightly, amounts to thirteen millions of dollars annually. Let ■the experiment then be made, and let ev ery paper in the land ring into the ears of members of Congress, TAX WHISKY! Tt will harm no one, and do, what perhaps whisky never done before, some good. is generally the case, we furnish ed our citizens with the first copies of the •Governor's message, and on 'lhursday sup plied our subscribers over the county.— The document is an able one, and gives a clear exposition of the affairs of the State, as well as of the proud position we occupy in putting down the infamous rebellion got up by Davis and his Breckinridge coadju tors. TERRIBLE TRAGEDY.—On the 18th ult., we learn from the Democrat, near Newton Hamilton, (but in Huntingdon county,) Robert Bell, (son of Samuel,) was instant ly killed by the discharge of a rifle in his owu hands. It seems he desired to know whether the gun was loaded, and adopted the foolish expedient of pressing his foot on the hammer and blowing in the muzzle. The hammer slipped and discharged the load, driving the ball through his braiu. — Re wae about 18 years of age. PROCEEDINGS OP CONGRESS. Iho Senate en the 7th discuss*,.! at ength, and finally rejected—ayes 12, nays -o the bill to increase the number of Cadets at West- Point. Mr. Trumbull', amendment to Mr Sherman's bill, reorgan izing the Supreme Court, is as follows : Maryland, Delaware, Virginia, and North C arolina, to constitute the Fourth Circuit; South Cirolina, Georgia, Alabama, Missis sippi and Florida, to constitute the Fifth Circuit; Louisiana, Texas, Arkansas and Tennessee, to constitute the Sixth Circuit; Ohio, and Kentuckey to constitute the Seventh Circuit; Indiana, Michigan, Wis consin and Minnesota to constitute the Eighth Circuit; Illinois, Missouri, Kansas and lowa to constitute the Ninth Circuit. Mr. Sherman's bill puts Ohio, Indiana and Michigan together. !n the House of Representatives the cor respondence relative to the Trent affair was received and referred to the committee on 1 oreign Affairs. 'lhe aubject was subse quently incidentally discussed in Commit tee of the Whole. In the -Senate on the Bth the Committee on Military Affairs reported the House bill for the construction of twenty iron clad gunboats. The Committee pjopose an amendment that the appropriation shall be expended under the direction of the Presi dent. The Kansas contested election case was taken up, but not settled. In the Ilou.se a bill was reported exten ding to sailors and marines in actual ser vice the privilege of sending letters with out prepaying postage. The Committee on the Judiciary were authorised to send for persons and papers in relation to the telegraphic censorship of the press. The < otnuiittec of Ways and Means were in ! structed to report a bill to provide tor rai- i sing $10u,000,000 by direct taxation, and to consider the expediency of telegraph and stamp duties, excise duties upon cot : ton, tobacco, and all malt and distilled li ; quors. 'I he President was requested to communicate what steps had been taken for exchange of prisoners. On motion of Mr Lovcjoy a resolution was adopted di | rectiug the Committee on Public Lands to report a bill sequestrating Rebel property j and giving homesteads to actual settlers in uch parts of the disloyal States as may be conquered by our arms. In the Senate on the oth, Mr. Hale pre- ! rented a petition praying the passage of a law to prevent the appointment of unau i thurized agents to make purchases for the , Government. The Judiciary Committee reported bills fur the expulsion of Senators | I'rustcn Pulk and Waldo P. Johnson, of Missouri, on the ground of disloyalty.— Mr. Cullamer, from the Post Office Com mittee reported a bill providing for the re- : j turn of dead letters to their writers for col- i lection of postage. Mr. Ilale introduced j a bill punishing by tine and imprisonment i | frauds on the Treasury. The House joint j resolution allowing tea, coffee and sugar in ! bond at the time of the passage of the act ; to le taken out without increased duty was passed. The order of the day, the corres pondence on the Trent case, coining up, Mr, Sumner ad ressed the Senate, arguing and citing authorities to show that the sei zure of Mason and SliJell was a violation ! of the American doctrine of neutral rights. The bill j ending for the construction of twenty iron clad gun boats was taken up, i the question leing on the amendment ma king the President, insead of the Secreta ;ry of the Navy, the disbursing officer. In i the debate that ensued the appointment of I Mr. Morgan by the Secretary to purchase j vessels fur the Government with two and a half per cent, commission on the amount ; of purchase money, was Iroadly characteriz- j ed as a dishonest act by 6ome Senators j and defended by others. Finally, at Mr. | Wilson's suggestion, a resolution was adopt ed inquiring of the Secretary of the Navy why Mr. Morgan was appointed, and how much compensation was allowed. The House was engaged all day in the discussson of the bill for the abolishment of the franking privilege. An attempt was made to lay it on the table, which was rejected—ayes 51, nays7B, when the House adjourned. The Senate on the 10th passed unani mously the resolution expelling for disloy alty Senators Polk and Johnson, of Missouri. The bill in relation to the administration of justice in the District of Columbia was ta ken up but afterwards postponed. Mr. Bayard oalled up the case of Mr. Starke, Senator from Oregon, against whom char ges of disloyalty had been brought. The Senate refused to swear in the Senator un til further investigation had been made.— Mr. Wilson's bill in relation to army sut lers was debated but not acted upon. Tha Senate adjourned over until Monday. In the House of Representatives a com munication was received from the Secreta ry of War in answer to the resolution of inquiry adopted some days since. Mr. Cameron states that measures have been adopted to determine who is responsible for the disastrous movement at Ball's Bluff, but it is not doeraed compatible with the public service to make these measures known at the present time. The consider ation of the Civil Appropriation bill was resumed. Ihe liouse refused to restore the appropriations for the Coast Survey. The clause making appropriation for paying for the engraving of the Treasury nots~ appropriating 5100,000, was also stricken out, but the bill was not finally acted upon The House adjourned until Monday. In the Senate on Monday Mr. Sumner, from the Committee on Foreign Affairs, re ported a bill for the payment of claims for French spoliations prior to 1800, with a recommendation that its consideration be postponed until next year. The Commit tee on the Judiciary reported against the expulsion of Senator Bright, there being no evidence of his disloyalty. The Senate refused to take up the liouse bill compen sating the owners of the British ship Perth shire for an illegal detention by the block ading fleet. The army Sutlers' bill was ta ken up and referred back to the Military Committee. In the House the Army Appropriation bill was reported. Hon. A. J. Clements was admitted to his seat as representative from the Fourth Congressional District of Ten nessee. The Select Committee on Govern ment Contracts reported several reaolutions, which were adopted, inquiring of the Sec retary of War as to certain contracts. The civil appropriation bill being under consideration, Mr. Dawes made a strong speech, exposing the wasteful expenditures going on. The bill was finally passed, lea ving the appropriation for the Coast Survey untouched. WAR NEW s7 Iho United States steamship Pensacola, which left her anchorage off Alexandria on Saturday morning, proceeded to Indian Head about twenty seven miles from Washington, where she remained until between five and six o'clock next morning, and then started to run the rebel blockade, which she did with entire safety, 1 wenty two shots were fired at her, but none struck. She did not return the fire. She was heavily laden with cannon and other appliances of war, and fully pre pared for hostile service The safe departure of the Pensaeola is a genc-ral subject of con gratulation, as it is known that the rebels have been, for weeks past, reserving their tire, in order either to destroy this vessel or prevent her passage out of the Potomac river. The Legislature of Ohio organized on Mon da}\ The Governor, in his message, gives the number of Ohio volunteers at 77,844, of which 45,983 are serving beyond the limits of the State; it is estimated that 10,000 ad ditiona! eitiz"ns of Ohio have enlisted in nth cr States. The Govern >r dissents from Sec retarj Chase's plan of a national currency.— He deprecates immediate emancipation, but thinks the war will cause the ultimate ex linction of slavery. The Message of the (levernor of Now York says that the State has furnished, including three months' men, 120,57' i soldiers for tire war. of which number SO,OOO are now in the field, aril 14,">00 in the State preparing fir service. General Kel ley'a forces have again distin guished themselves. A portion of his brigade left lioinney on Tuesday a week and at day light nest morning attacked the Rebels, who were posted two thousand strong at Blue Gap, east of R imney. The Rebels were com pletely routed, with a loss of fifteen killed, twenty prisoners, two pieces of cannon, wag ons, tents, &.c. From Western Virginia we also learn that a Rebel force in Tucker coun ty have been dispersed, several prisoners ta ken, their stores captured, and the pursuit still kept up. Gen. Sigel has resigned his position in the army ; and we learn from a St. Louis paper that this is to be followed by the resignations of other officers attached to him, who think he has been unjustly treated in being super seded in the command of the army of Rolla We learn that the gunboats Essex, Lax ington and Tyler, made a reconnoissance down the Mississippi river to a point within two miles of Columbus on Tuesday morning. They went within two hundred yards of the range of the Rebel batteries, and on returning were fired upon by the Rebel gunboat Mo hawk, but her shots all fell short. The re connoissance was considered highly satisfac tory, as all the points on the river were accu rately examined. The Confederate war tax is so odions in the Norfolk district that no one will accept the office of Collector. A saw mill in the Nor folk Navy Yard was fired by an incendiary on Sunday last, but soon extinguished.— Judge Hemphill, ex-Senator of the United States, and member of the Confederate Con gress, has died at Richmond. Ex Governor Morehead has been released from Fort Warren on parole. The steamer Oriental, arrived at New York, brings intelligence from Port Royal to the 6th instant. General Steven's brigade still held possession of the mainland, notwithstan ding the assertions that have been made by the Charleston papers that they have been repulsed aud retreated to Port Royal Island. On the sth instant another skirmish occurred in which the Rebels suffered severe loss and seven prisoners were captured. Gon. Sher man had sent 3,500 troops to reinforce Gen. Stevens, and had censured him (Stevens') for want of activity. Reinforcements were daily arriving at Port Royal. The Federal forca at Tybee Island hod also been increased bv three thousand troops sent from Port Royal. Advices from Springfield, Missouri, of last week's date, state that Price and McCulloeb were both there, with twenty thousand men and forty six pieces of artillery. They were apprehensive of an advance upon the place by the National troops, and the Secession Home Guards in the surrounding counties had been ordered to report to Price at Springfield for service. Col. Montgomery, of Kansas, was at Bower s Mills, in Lawrence county, a por tion of his troops being at Carthage, Jasper countv. lie had raised the Union flag at Mount Vernon, Lawrence county, and threat ened to burn the town if the inhabitants per i initted it to be torn down. During Saturday night the most of the vessels composing Gen. Burnside's expe dition quietly left Hampaon lioads, and the remainder were departing during Sunday morning. It is now generally supposed that the expedition has assembled at Pam lico Sound. It may there operate against Norfolk, from the rear, or against Beaufort and Wilmington, Nor.h Carolina. A few days will settle all doubts as to the destina tion and object of the expedition. An order was received in Boston on Monday for the debarkation of the troops belonging to Gen. Butler's expedition, who were on boarj the Constitution. This or der was, on Saturday, countermanded, and the steamer wu3 ordered to proceed to Fortress Monroe with the troops and stores, there to await further orders. It was ex pected she would sail yesterday. The President, it is rep jrted, will decline to receive Gen. Sigel's resignation, deem ing him too valuable a soldier to lose, if it is possible to prevail upon him to remain in the service. % an arrival at New York from Nassau we learn that on the 29th ult. the British ship-of-war Conqueror, 101 guns, struck on a sunken rock on the east side of llum Key, and when last heard from the rock had pierced five feet through her bottom The frigate Bull Dog had gone to her as sistance. The Louisville Journal discredits the report of the disbandment of Humphrey Marshall's rebel force. From the Upper Potomac we learn that the rebel force had returned from Itomney without making any attack there, and had again appeared opposite Hancock. They are supposed to bo returning toward Win chester. For the Gazette. Mifflin County Justice vs. School Teach ers- Mr. Editor: —The verdict of the County Court held last week, in the case of Robert Sterrett. a teacher, seems worthy of the at tention of all who are in any degree inter ested in the prosperity of Common Schools. To nio it is utterly astonishing, that, with a knowledge of the facts, any jury would crim inate the- teacher and compel him to pay half the cost of a trial into which a petty vindic tiveness had forced him. it was conclusive ly proved.—by the testimony of the very girl whom tin- teacher had e irrectod. that force was resorted to only after the pupil 'had re fused to obey a very simple and reasonable direction, naiuoly, to go forward and spell a w .rd missed when in the spelling class; that it was continued only so long as she stubborn ly refused obedience, and as soon as site obey ed, the teacher immediately ceased to correct her. To be sure, the lawyer who pleaded the cause of the girl, indulged in the use of op probrious epithets toward the teacher, calling itis conduct " brutal" and all that ; but this must have been the product of an over stimu lated imagination, or perhaps was only o pro fessional exaggeration, for no extraordinary severity was proved to be employed. And yet the teacher must virtually be fined to the extent of half the costs, for what? If any one can give a satisfactory answer, scores of teachers and hundreds of intelli gent citizens would be most glad to hear it. As it now stands, it is a pecuniary prohibi ti ,n to every teacher of a common school to punish a pupil for any offence. It virtually ties the hand? of teachers so that they can use only persuasion, and not wholesome fear, to secure obedience from scholars of any character. Doubtless it was not so intended by the jurors who gave that verdict, but is it not unquestionably so in fact? What teach er will avail himself of the salutary aid of corporal punishment, at the rate of $25 for every case? Is it the candid opinion of the people of this county that teachers must not correct their pupils under any circumstances? If not, shall teachers be hindered from perform ing their duty for fear some quarrelsome or weak-minded parent will prosecute them, and a jury composed of citizens will either convict them of assault and battery, or com pel them to pay half the cost? This matter needs intelligent consideration; my cheeks tingle with shame, that in this oounty such a verdict, under such circum stances, could be given. JUSTICE. Simon Cameron has resigned hia post as Secretary of War, and has been nominated Minister to Russia. His suc cessor is Edwin M. Stanton, formerly of North Carolina. B5$L.Wm. Tillman the colored steward of the schooner J. S. Waring, who recaptured that vessel from a rebel prize crew, has bene awarded $17,000 salvage, for his use and three others.
