The Rouse then went into 'Cnnmittee of the Whole on the state of the Union on the Internal Revenue AAR. Mr. Helmut and ) offered an amendment, which was rejected, proposing a tax of 4 per cent. instead of 23.6 ()Ohs gains, profits or income which shall be derived from the interest upon notes, be-nds or sectirities of the United States. Mr. Holman offered another amendment that the incomes d, rived from the interest on notes, bonds or securities of the United States shall be included in the estimate of incomes under this section, which places a duty of five per centum on all over SCCO. Mr. Morrill (Vt.) inquired whether the gentle man desired to check such investmtnts. Mr. Holman replied that he did not; bat if the House did not adopt this principle' they would withdraw from taxation millions and millions of the capital of the country. After furthdr debate, Mr. Holman's amendment was adopted. Mr. Frank (N.

In support of this amendment Mr. Frank said that the Committee of Ways and Means have themselves established the principle of graduated laxation in this bill which was in effect an argu ment in support of his proposition. Mr. Stevens (Pa.) said this amendment would -lay a tax as a punishment on men because they are rich, and he did not know bat that there ought to be an indictment against every one who has au income over $40,000, and that the tax ought to bs from 10 to 100 per centum. The rich man pays ac cording to his riches, but beyond this the tax was as a punishment for a man's thrift. Mr. Frank repeated that the committee have themselves establishol the very principle. Mr. Stevens replied that the committee put the tax on all alike over $6OO. They made no distinction between one man and anothef, becatthe of the difference in their relative riches. Alter a debate and various unsucceisful attempts to amend Mr. Fisher's amendment the latter was adopted—yeas 73, nays 75: MOVEMENT OF TROOPS Bosinx, April 26.—Two companies of heavy artillery, occupying the fort at Portsmobth, N. are ordered South;and will be replaced by militia.

A REGIMENT OF HEAVY AHTILLERY TO BE RAISED.

THE SURRENDE'R'OF PLYMOUTH, NORTH CAROLINA. GALLANTRY OF THE UNION FORG'EP. The Inhuman Butcheries of the FOr•ThEsS MONacik, April 24, IEGi. —Plymouth surrendered is the startling and painful an neinn oe ment I am compelled to make to you in my de spatch today, which event took every trely by surprise, as it was thought that General Wessels could hold out for a few days at least, until rein forcements, which were already on the way, could reach him Put the rebel ram which had de stroyed the hontbfield kept our transports from ascending Rea.noke river, and consequently the beleagured garrison at Plymouth was compelled to fight as long as human endurance could stand it, and either be annihilated or surrender at dis cretion. 7 his newsereached me this morning by the arrival of the steamer Currituck from Roanoke Island. and throngitarno-t reliable source. The first attack was made on the fortifications of Plymou hon the lith inst., bat repulsed, as also emitter mace on Fort Gray. The momentary re pulse kept the_eneMy at hay, and lasted for nearly twenty. four bouts. On Tuesday morning the rebil ram made her appearance, to cooperate with the land forces, and succeeded not only in sinking the Southfield, but in killing t'aptain Flusser. They drove our naval vessels from the river, and con sequently this support failed Gen. 'Wessels in the most trying hour of his campaign. The second a•tack was made by the enemy on all of our forts surmount fug the town almost si• mculaneerisly, and in eery assault he was. driven back with terrible siatigtrer. Bat the reb is seemed determined, and renewed attacks were made and checked, each one still attended with the most dreadful carnage. From this time until ha. 1- past ten o' clock on Wednesday mcrning the figet- Ing was almost uninterrupted. On Tuesday or aers were lisped for the evaluation of Fort Wes eels, better known as the Eighty aftn regiment redoubt, situated a short instance from Mill creek. Captain Chapin, the corn manount of the fort. had been killed, -and, although the stock of ammuni tion on hand was growing small by degrees and bi amain ly less,' ' sail the heroic little rand kept no en incessant firing on the enemy, every shot telling with fearful effect. Upon the reception of the order the survivors of the garmson.awaited the coming of night, and wider its protecting shade silently wit , drew to the town having first, how ever, disabled the guns of the fort. The Union forces concentrated, on the evacuation of Fort Wessels, in. Forts Williams, Comfort and a redoubt facing the Roanoke River, below Mill Creek, and kept up the fight incee.santly. The forces of General Weasels, thus being massed and able to handle their artillery more effectively, kept up a regular,. steady and galling fire on the rebels. The eremy used thirty-pounder Parrott guns, and other artillery of about similar calibre. At nine ci` clock on the: 2Jtb. inst. a most im petuots assault was made by the rebels on Fort Williams , Our brave boys nobly stand by their guns and repulsed every attempt of the enemy to enter the fortification. In splendid order die the rebel column advance to the assault. General Weasels allowed him time to come within easy range of his guns, and then gave the order to fire. Every diecharge. mowed down the rebel troops by platoons. :till the gaps were Instantly filled up and the attack renewed. In this manner the enemy rt ceived several severe shocks, and, after a last and still more impetuous charge, winch likewise resulted disastrously to him, he withdrew, evi dently to repair damage and make ready for another attack. - - • General Wessels erpitulated at half-past ten on the morning of the 20th inst (Wednesday), an hour and a half after the repulse at Fort Williams. A t the hour above nic-fationed the Union flag was hauled down on Forts Williams and Comfort as well as on the Mill creek redoubt. The rebels 'ad been heavily reinforced during Tuesday night, and the overwhelming forces buried against our weak and already 'Shattered column was too much to endure,' and, being out of ammunition and cut off from a further supply General IWessels could do no less than surrender, or have all his command annihilated. The garri son of Fort Gray ro doubt fought nobly to the last; but, being cut off irom the main command, with out hope of deliverance, had to succumb also. We have no advices from this po=t ; but common sense teaches us that the fort could not hold oat Very long. The rebel column consisted of no less than five brigades of troops, each brigade numbering about three thousand men. There were under the chief command of Major . .. General Hoke, - assisted by Generals Ransom and Barton. The majority of these troops were from the far South, as the North Carolinians are not trusted very far while fighting on their own soil. Our losses are estimated at about one hundred In killed and wounded. Captain Chapin wa• kill ed at Fort Worsen' and Captain Horace T. Hod ges, Depot Quartermaster, while in the act of common:eating with the gunboat Miami, in a ca noe which he earned in a wagon from Plymouth to Con esby creek, in order to elude the rebel iron clad, was upset and drowned. The loss of tus citicer will be severely felt said regret'ed by alt who knew him. I base been unable to learn the names of others who lost their lives In the severe battles before Plymouth. - - . - Two citizens escaped from Plymouth after the rebels had taken possession of the town. Their names are Wm. Atkinson and Mitchel, loyal men, who carried on business there. They packed their trunks in a wagon, and, oiler ge.ting clear of the town, they took to the swamps, and during the night they managed to obtain a rowboat moved up in that to the mouth of the river, where they were picked up by one of the Union gunboats patrolling the Sound. The rebel losses are, beyond the slightest doubt, immensely heavy. When it it considered that every fort aruund Plymouth was stormed from three to seven times, and each assault repulsed with great slaughter, besides pouring broadside after broadside Into the rebel ranks from the Miami and Southfield, the casualties among the rebel troops must have been enormous. A rebel surgeon was heard to say that "the damned Yankees had killed and wounded one third of their whole force, and he hoped no mercy would be shown the cursed I' ank ees. " The gunboat Whitehead went on a reconnoissance on Wednesday a shcrt distance above Plymon h, and the officers and crew observed abbot three hundred rebel troops engaged in burying the deld. From a steeple on the town church, overlooking a large tract of land, it was found that the field of Asa Johnson (about sixty acres) was completely filled with dead and dying rebels. The entire rebel force could not,have been short of from fifteen to twenty thousancilnen„ of whom one-third are unfit for future set vice. My inJoimant also acquainted me with the Wit that all the negroes found after the surrender were stripped of their clothing and brutally murdered in cold blood. It must be understood that General Wessels had no colored troops at Plymouth, save a few recruPs for North Carolina regiments, and the poor, unfortunate blacks thus butchered were merely laborers fir the Government. The uegroes were formed into line, in a nude state, and fired at by the brutal soldiery, purporting to represent Southern chivalry. The situation of Plymouth is on the Roanoke river, *which forms an angle above its month, from the Albemarle Sound, of ninety degrees. The forts were built ow side of the town, and at the first advance of the rebels 'on Sunday, the Southfield and Miami, having obtained the range, did good execution, directed by signals. The rebel ram Albemarle, which is the name of this rebel monster, is _quite a formidable craft, built on the plan of " the Merrimac. Capt. games Spottiswoode Coke, late lieutenant in the United States Navy, commands her, and' has a crew of sixty men. Her dimensions are as follows: Length, 152 feet; breadth of beam. 4C feet; depth of hold, 12 feet. She is built of sixteen- inch tim ber, and is said tb have a plating of six-inch iron; Others, however, asText that-her coat of mail is T. rail, laid and fastened crosswise - Her engine is a low pressure, English built, with two screws. She is pierced for six guns, viz: one port-hole at the stern and stem, and four on the starboard and port sides. Her armament consists of only two 20- * pounder Whitworth guns, revolving on a swivel, which can be fired out of three port-holes. The enemy is supposed to be moving on Little Washington, and, a:though we are well prepared there for an attack,.hot and bloody work will soon ensue. The motive 'of the rebels, as .stated by some of their officers, for making the onslaught on Plymouth and other posts in North Carolina, is to drive the Union forces out of the State, and transfer the theatre of war from Virginia to. North Carolina; also to check the movement - among the disaffected towards resisting the Jeff. Davis tyranny. This, therefore, may be said to be the earnest commencement of a vigorous spring campaign. NEIVI3EIII , Z, April 20, ISM —The terrible- ram which has been, and is expected to be further, the cause of E 0 much distraction in this district is de scribed as follows: In shape she resembles the destroyed ram Mer rimac, and, like her, carries an instrument of de stru aticia at her prow, which renders her so pecu liarly dangerous in conflicts with wooden vessels. She is built of heavy iron plate, brought partly from Wilmington and partly from Atlanta, Ga.,. and is of rather clumsy movement. She possesses one .aperture at her forepart for the use of a heavy gun; but her main purpose is to de• stroy by concussion. She is accompanied by a formidable water battery, securely protected •by cotton bales, behind 'which artillery and smal arms. can be securely used. The name of this satellite is the teotton It is understood that the rebels have likewise two others, one at Kinston and one at Goldsboro. •At the latter point they are known to have organized a complete naval brigade.

A FATHER SlloT BY ate SON —An Old man ramed Henry iearim, residing near Elizabeth Furnace, Blair county, Pa., was killed one day last week, by Samuel Nearim, his son. It appears that the son was laboring under an attack of de • irium tremens, and his father was endeavoring to quiet him, when the son seized a gun. A scuttle ensued for the possession of the weapon between the parties, 'when, it is supposed, it was accident ally discharged, the ball passing through the father's head and wouirting the son in the fore head. The father died in halt an hour after the occurrence. The young man was badly injured. HOMICIDE IX MARIETTA.—An affray occurredin Marietta. on Wednesday night, in which a young man by the name of Geo. Wesselman was mor tally wounded.- It seems that a qaarrel originated between two soldiers about a woman, upon which one of them, named Bishop. discharged a pistol at his opponent, and missing him shot Wesselman, who happened to be passing along the street. Wes selman was said to have been a very worthy yeung man, and was to have been married next day. HORRIBLE COIMMT.-1311 Friday of last week, as Mr. James Moore was passing over the upper bridge, at Port Allegheny, with a load consisting of twelve persons, the, bridge gave way and the whole load was precipitated Into the stream. The river being quite high at the time, three children of Mr. Moose's, the oldest a young lady. about four teen years of age, and a child whose name we have not yet learned, were drowned,' in spite of all efforts to save them. The load, we are informed, was returning from a funeral. —McKean (Pa.) Miner. FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL. SZEBB D. YELL Eg BON, STOOS iszossaa, x0:3045 wAL SALES OF STOOKS.

CAPTURE OF ONE BLOCKADE BURNER AND SINKING OF ANOTHER . WASHINGTON, April 26.—The Nayy Depart ment has received infoimation •of the capture of,the schooner Three Brothers, by the U. S. steamer Nita, off the coast of Florida, and the sinking and entire loss of the blockade running schooner Wild Pigeon. It seems that she was discovered by the steamer Hendrick Hudson, who supposed her to be the Electric, a schooner she had boarded the day previously; but she still keptwatch on her, and as the Hudson neared her sbe saw she was a blockade runner. The Wild Pigeon suddenly luffed directly across the Hudson's bows, and in spite of all that could be-done the Hudson struck her directly -amidships, staving her whole side in and sink ing her in three minutes. All of the crew came aboard the Hudson ex cept one man ) who jumped overboard, and was drowned. But slight damage was done. to the Hud son. The Wild Pigeon was bound to St. Marks, under rebel papers, and had a rebel flag on board. DECLINE IKGOLD AND STOCKS.
