BATUB DAY, JUNE 7, 1862.
WE CONGEATELLTE Senator F assuming upon
having at lastpieneered the tax bill throughthe
Senate. It was rather more than we expected
to have passed yesterday, for there seamed
at times on the part of the Senate a disposi—
tion to poatlone and' ignore it for other and
less important matters. Senator FEBSHNDEN'S
unwearied attention and his enormous labor in
completing the details of this bill have at
length been gratified, and, having placed it
Upon the statute-book, the country will thank
him. The fact that this bill has passed the Se
nate by an almost unanimous vote, one Se
nator only dissenting, is one of the most grati
fyiog that could occur at this time. It shoWs
that public men are united in a determination to
strengthen and establish the resources of the
country beyond any demands that war or na
tional improvement may make. It is an evi
dence, too, of the justice of this bill, that so
many should favor its adoption. 'We can'
think of nothing more difficult than to arrange
a measure of revenue or impost which will
meet the approbation of men of all classes
and opinions. Where there are so many in
tereats to serve, and so many different locali
ties to phase, we very often find different
States in antagmism : One section asks pro.
tection ; the other insists upon free trade.
One State has coal to be nourished; it is the
interest of atother that the cal trade shmld
be prottritcd ; Pennsylvania has her iron,
South Carolina her cotton, Philadelphia her
manufactures, Now York her free trade, and
so on through the infinite ramifications of so
ciety affecting every profession and basin-!ss
interest, and appealing to the selfishness aed
;the necessities of men. A tax bill is at all
times a most unwelcome guest, even in legis
lative chambers. It is the general seapegoit
for all national difficulties or transgressions—
the universal devil which every politician
pledges himself to exorcise from the body
politic. Small men agitate, bad men specu
late, good men hesitate. Never has such
an ungracious task been so gracefully per
formed. lho *clebAte upon this bill has boon
so unanimous, gentle, and kind, that, to op
pose it, was almost considered an evidence of
bad taste and disloyalty. This hearty concur
rence of sentiment will go very far towards
reconciling the country to the acceptance of
the tax bill. It will take from the hands of
unscrupulocs politicians a ready weapon with
Ni hit h to assail the Government. It cannot.
be calls(' a R publican measure or a Dem).
atic measure ; it cannot be gauged by any
political pla form, or any schedula of partisan
propriety. Mon of all opinion cast their votes
in its favor—men from all sections have con
curred in Owing it upon our statute-book.
The Congress of the nation has given it to the
nation, and it becomes us, In mei.ting its pro
visions, and answering the contingencies
which it brings to us all, to emulate the ex
sacrifice
it demands.
ON TILE 23d of lay we printed the follow
ing in THE PRF.93 :
' 't W.,' ". our ever.welcome Allentown corres
pondent, doe, not compliment Mr. E. D. Stiles,
the present Breokinridge candidate for Congress
in the Lehigh district. to All the vaoancy created
by the death of Dr. Thomas B. Cooper, when he
tries to make him a Douglas Demoorat, .to. Mr.
Stiles, if he. ever oared three straws for the
memory or the principles of Douglas, has,bravaly
repented of his experiment:. lie is now in the
bands of the Breokinridgers of the district, and
in his speech at Doylestown, oti 'Tuesday last,
announced' his approval o' 'Dr. Cooper's course,
who always voted with these partisans while he
was in Cengreea. Is it not full time that the game
of allowing political tricksters to dell themselves
Douglas Demoorats' should be closed up ?
Some of the meanest and most slavish fol.
lowers of the Breckinridge school use this dis
guise to get office. Mr. Stiles disdains this
sham, and boldly guns on the Breokinridge
pla -
form of hostility to the Administration and
the, war, and utter indifference as to the bravery
of oar soldiers and the treason of the rebels. We
bad supposed that ' W.' had seen enough of the
treachery and selftidiness of politicians to restrain
him from arguments in support of such aspirants
as Mr. Stiles. Mr. Stiles, it elected to Congress,
will go there to do else:ly what Douglas did not
do before he died, and what he woatd not have
done if he had lived. He will go there to vote us
a partisan, not as a patriot ; to oppose the Ad
ministration of Mr. Lincoln, and to labor for such
a comproniiiie as would return the traitors to the
power which they abused and surrendered. And
if he should be chosen, W.' and the rest of our
friends in the district cannot blame us for not
having fez ved this notice upon them in advanoo."
COMMENT.—E. D. STILES was elected to
Congress on the Saturday after this paragraph
was printed. He posted to Washington with
railroad speed, took hii seat, and, as if deter
mined to fill the prophecy of Tan PRESS, en
relic d himself in the ranks of General YALLCN.
DICOIAM. We are not surprised that Mr. Srmns
enjoys the association, for we expected it.
He is, of course, conscientious in the position
he has assumed. It would require a very bold
man, if be were not honest, to do what Mr.
STILES is now doing. liedce, we feel rather
disposed to compliment him for the courage
he displays. A tingle instance of the intre
pidity of Mr. STILES may be found in Wednes
day's proceedings of the House of Repre
sentatives. A bill was introduced providing
" that any peraon elected or appointed to
any office of honor or profit under the Govern
merit of the United States, either in the civil,
military, or naval department, shall, before
entering on the duties of such office, and
before being entitled to any of the salary
or other emoluments thereof, take and sub
scribe an oath that he " bad never volun
tarily borne arms against the Government
of the United States since he had been a
citizen thereof; had voluntarily given no
aid, countenance, counsel, or encouragement
to persons ongig d in armed hostility there
to; bad never sought or accepted or attempt
ed to excrcise the functions of any office
whatever under any authority or pretended au
thority in hostility to the Government of the
United States; that he had neither voluntarily
renounced his allegiance to the Government
of the United States nor yielded a voluntarY
support to any pretended government, autO :
rity, power, or constitution hostile or inimical.•
thereto; that he will support -and defend the.
Constitution and Government of the United
States and all laws made in pursuance thereof,
against all enemies, foreign or domestic; bear
true faith and allegiance to the same ; that he
takes the obligation without any mental reser
vation or evasion ; and that he , will well
and faithfully discharge the duties of the
office on which be is about to enter:"
And against this bill Mr. E. D. STILES voted,
notwithstanding that such gallant Border,
State men as GEORGE P. Fosse, of Delaware,
and HORACE MAYNARD, of Tennessee, gave it
their cordial sanction. What does our frlend.
gc W." think of this "Douglas Democrat," E.
D. Sruss, now?
WE rumen this morning the thrilling re
port of Captain TIIONLAB T. CRAVEN, com

Brooklyn, describing the conduct of that
ship and, its officers in the naval engagements
which molted in the capture of Forts Jackson
and St. Philip and the city of New Orleans,
together v ith the powerful rebel flotilla. The
New York Times of the 8d instant makes an
editorial reference to the extraordinary per
formances f the Brooklyn, which we copy, in
justice to Captain CRAVEN, his officers and
men:
"OUR NAVY AT NEW ORLEANS —For Some in
ecrutable reason, the Navy Department has thus
far withheld from the public the oflioial reports of
the naval officers engaged in the memorable notion

thus compelled to rely, for our knowledge of wtiat

private letters to friends at home.

lag the participation in the fight of the Brooklyn,.
Capt. Craven. The press has made the fact pretty
widely known already that this ship bore the
brunt of the light, and that her commander be
hayed in the most gallant manner. But the fol
lowing paragraph, from the private letter referred
to, gives still further testimony on this point. The
, writer says:
" later the battle Flsg-0111ter Ferragut took Captain

LETTER FROM " OCCASIONAL."
• -
WAsratiorox, June 6, 1862
The prediction most certain of being ful
filled is, that the rebellion will sustain its last
great defeat in or near the city of Richmond.
Its heart is brokeri(its strength paralyzed,
its spirit gone. Front, flank, and rear—all is
dark and threatening. The rebels will fight
with the ferocity of despair, but, as they lack
tho conscience - of a good cause, their resi:t.
ance, however bloody, must be brief. The
leaders, in their appeals to their troops, ha
bituallyrerer to the Amer:can Revolution, and
console themselves and their followers with
the comparison, that if their prospect is
gloomy and their adversary strong, it was
even so with ce our fathers in their,
struggle against the British Oppressor."
The men who established this Govern
ment won their laurels because thEie. Re
volution was right. They endured priva
tion without a: murmur, and died in the con
sciousness that God was on their side. - To
compare these men to the authors of the pre.
sent rebellion is to outrage their memory. The
conspirators never believed what they were so
'anxious to induce their followers to believe.
Every man of the gang started Secession with
a lie in his mouth. Even the , boldest trembled
before the crime of treason, and In his 'heart
prayed that he might not be called upon to
commit
,it. : Their complaints against the
north wore all false ; their indictment ag tint
President Lincoln a Miserable fabrication, and
their doctrine of State-Rights a shallow and
transparent heresy. When they discovered
that they could not intimidate the free States,
and that they must either become the' scoff
of the Southern people or fight it out, they
flew to arms, and their cruelties to their
fellow-citizens of the North and Northwest
were only paralleled by the exactions and op
pressions practised upon the interests and the
feelings of their own people—forcing thou
sands into the army against their will, and
plundering and taxing, with indiscriminate
severity, H i gh and low, rich and poor. There
is not a city in a seceded State which is not
to-day filled with despair, and terror-stricken
with the double fear of invasion and starva
tion. Indeed, to such a strait has the rebel
lion reduced the South, that the advance of
the Federal armies, so much dre ided by. the
traitor chiefs, is longed for by thousands as a
relief from inconceivable sufferings and
wrongs. That which has been repeatedly an
ticipated in this correspondence is now trans
piring in every quarter et the Southern country.
Daily we hear confessions from rebel pri
sonora that the conspiracy is dead.. Regret
and remorse for yielding to it, indignation
against those who concocted it, and an earn-.
est longing for the good old times, are frequent
indications of a change of Southern sentiment.
When Gen. McClellan establishes his rule at
Richmond, he will be able to lilt the veil front
the den in which Davis and his associates
hare plotted their country's ruin. He will
expose the charnel house of their corruptions
and
ed. He will awaken that love for the Union
which can never be extinguished. Pa
triotic journalists will appeal to those who
are only too willing to be convinced
of their wrongs, and orators like John
N. Botts will come forth from their dun
geons as witnesses against the traitor leaders.
Fr. m present appearances, both Charleston
and Richmond will be occupied by the armies
of the Republic in a few days, and the work of
conquest will have been yractleally accom
plished. After that,other issues will have to
be met • not less difficult of solution than 'the
rebellion itself; brit certain to be successfully
disposed of if the national heart continues to
-boat strongly and warmly for the Union.
IT is only just to General BIIINEY, who is a
great favorite with the army, that he should
not be charged with virtual cowardice with
out baying a hearing. General liersrzsracts,
who is ono of_ the bravest and most pliant
men in the service, may have bad reason for
his action with regard to General BIaNEY, but
we ore in tho poseeroiou"vf rows wrath eeahte
us to state that his order suspending General ~
BIRNEY iroin i bis command was made under a
misapprehethion. We, therefore, ask a sus

pension of üblic opinion,Until the whole facts

The U. S. steamer Manville, Commodore kfullany, ar

The Bienifile left Port Royal on Monday last, and

- In response to the edvertisiment made a few months
since, by the 'Navy Department, for proposals to con
strait iron-clad steamers for harbor and ocean service,
there bare been numerous offers for the former, but only
two for the latter which come within the requirements.
The Department ri Quit ea that the iron clad steamers for
ocean service shall make at least fifteen miles per hour.
Some twelve or fifteen proposals have been made for this
Gass of Iron-Jed steamers, but the two cases referred to
are ell that wilt probably be accopted. The Department
will cent it no to receive pt Weals. -
It is a remarkable fact that, notwithstanding the rush
of fishermen from Now England, and oyetermen from.
New 'York and• New Jersey, last summer, to enter the
navel service, there Is at present a scar eity of men; so
ranch so that the Department is;obliged to take negroes In
ordv rto work the vessels. The fishermen and oyetermen
insisted, last slimmer, upon entering the service, if they
did so at all, in Independent bodies, with tie right to use
their own .fishing and oyster smacks. The Government
would not tolerate this practice, but desired that all
the men should enlist upon an equality, subject to the
same regulations. The consequence was that the psrties
referred to did not enter the naval service, but it is un
derstood that meet of them joined the army, whore they
are subject to greater hardships. They have a lees
chance for glory, and no share of prize money. It
angoras tliakaboutune leiedeed.eedireventy prizes have
been liken. In consequence of the deleTy — or - nes
Government officers in New York and - other cities in
cotelemning'ille rebel vends and cargoes captured, it is
impossible to state now toe value of the prizes, hence no
estimate can be made of the enormous amount of prize-
Money to be diefributed among the mailers In the naval
service. Yome idea may ha formed, however, of the total
by the single cede of the Circuelf,an which arrived at New
York a few days ago. This vessel and cargo
is valued at $1,500,000. The sailors who cap
tared her will, when ate is condemned,, receive about
61,300 each. It is said that there aro some fifteen ves
sel,' equally valuable now ori the ocean trying to run the
blockade. These facts are regarded as sufficient, in
ducements to tread the.elecks of our war iessele with ex-
Perienced leamen, if for no other reason than that of pre
venting the arms and ammunition contained in the rebel
vessels from falling into the bands of the enemies of the
Givernment, hut the pecuniary inducement is also
treat.' About 20,000 Brst.claea Enfield rifles have re
cently been captured by our navy, together with the
vessels containing them, while'in the act of attempting
to run the blockade. It is sald'that Eaglsh speou'aters
in arms have shipped about 200,000 Enfield rifles to Nas
sau, where they dispose of them to rebel agents, who
reship them with the expectation of running the block
ade. This is the way our British cousins have been
acting neutral towards their own blood, in order to pre
vent the horrors of civil war.

our bow grazing the shore on the loft bark of the river.
Whilst in this situation I received a pretty severe fire
from Pon et Philip. I imtnediately after extricated
niy ship front ilia taita, her head Witt turned up stream,
and afi w minutes thereafter she was fully butted by
the celebrated rant"Manassas." She tame butting
into our starboard gangway, first firing from her
trap door when within about ten feet of tbe ship,
directly towards our smoke stark—her shot entering
about five feet above the water line and lodging in the
tend bugs which protected our steam drain. I had dis
covered title rine( r.ioe king gentleman while' forcing my
way over the barricade niug.closo into the bank, and
-when be made his appearance the second time I was so
close to him that he bad not an opportunity to got up
Lie full Speed, and his efforts to damage me were com
pletely frustrated, our chain armor proving a perfect
protection to our aides. Be soon slid off and disappeared
in the dai koese.
A few minutes thereafter, being all this while under a
rating fire from Fort Jackson, I was attacked by a large
rebel steamer. Onr port broadside, at tho short distance
of only fifty or sixty yards, completely finished him, eat
ting him on fire almost Mustantaneonely.
Still groping my way in the dark, or under as sleek
cloud of smoke from the fire raft, I suddenly found my;
sett about of 5o Philip, and so clams that the lesisman
in the starboard chains gave the soundinge "thirteen
feet, sir." As we could bring all our ginulto bear for a
few brief momenta, we neural in grape sod counter, and
I bad the satisfaction of comeetely shimming that work
before I /pit it. my men lathe tops wit/taming, in the
Itaehes of heir bursting shramoel, the enemy running'
like sheep for more comfortable quarters.
• After pining the fi rts, we engaged several of the
enemy's gunboats, and being st short range, generally
from slaty to one hundred yards; the effects . of our
broadsides of grape must have been terrific. This ship
we., under fire about one boor and a half. - We lost eight
men killed, end bad twenty.eix wounded, sod our
damages from the enemy's shot and shell are severs. I
should not have been so particular, air, in recording so

been out of my proper station ; but justice to my o ff icers

occasion.
In conclusion, I must bore beg leave to add. that My

Major Dwight and others concur in feasting that ail
the prieonern and sick, no far as their observations went,
were treated in the kindest manner. The reports to the
contrary aro pronounced by them to have been emana
tions 6/fugitives, who were cowardly enough to leave
their commands and circulate these reports to shield
their own cowardice: That many females and citizens
behaved in the most dastardly manner toward our re

fortunate as to fall Into the hands.of the enemy, have
been treated in a humane manner. That isolated oases
of cruelty wane perpetrated, is well known, but these
were mobably exceptions to the general course. The

following :
Whereas, Edward Stanley, seinzaing to act under a
letter from the Sect eta: y of War, apperiating him Mili
tary Governor of North 03rolina, a poet unknown Le the
Oonstitution mid the laws, has under token, by virtue of
such military authority, to eurrenrier fugitive slaves,
contrary to the intent and moaning of the actor tloogress
recently adopted ; also, to boot* American citizens, in
violation of the personal right secured by the Constitn
tion ; also. to chair - the - schools toaintainel by the cnarltf
of good mon for the education of colored children, in de

Mr. SUMNER also offered the following resolution:

any peteoo military Governor of a State, to without
sanction in the Constitution and laws ; that PS effect
is to rubor dinate the ctrl to the military authority, con
trary to the spirit of ear institutlon% ar d Is in derogation of

Mr. SUMNER moved to take up the resolution for the
expu!sion of the Senator from Oregon, Mr. Starke. Re

' _ . The Tax Bill.
At / o'c'.ock the tax bill wee taken tip.
Mr. ANTHONY (Rep ), of Rhode ILlattd, moved to
recoueider the vole laying a tax on biftVed. lie said he
did it at the rronest °fathers, and ehonli vote against it.
Mr. SUMNER (Rip.), of teaesncbueetts,• hoped it
would not be reconsidered. Re referred to proceedings
in Borth Carolina taxing slaves, and said there certainly
was no constitutional objection against it.
Mr. DOOLITTLE (Ilex ), of Wisconein, thought the
question of conetittitionalily was not settled, though the
Senator from Massachusetts de:dared there wee no con
stitutional objection.
3lr. lIIBINER said, If it was a capitation tax, or poll
tax, be should regard it as unconstitutional, but as it
wee not a roll tax he considered it constitutional.
Er. DOOLITTLE thought that such a tax was de
cidedly contrary to the Constitution, and regarded It as
=wife at ➢recant, because, in fact, it would fall princi
pally on our friends. •
Mr. HALE (Rep.), of New Hampshire, contended that,
practically, this was a tax on slaves, though perhaps
called by another name, and no phraseology can cover it
up from the common sense of the people. Ile nnoted
from Story io regard to capitation taxes, and acid he
would not, even to roach a cherished object, violate the
Constitution. Ho entirely repudiated any idea that pro
perty could be held lc man. He feared that the treat
nt of the anti-slavery' men in this country had made
them rt sentfcl, but such feellir,,a should be laid tulle In
legielating for the country.
Mr. WILMOT (Rei.). of Pennsplvania, contended
that this tax w•as constitutional. It was note capitation
tax, but proposts to tax the claim the master has to the
services of t is slaves ,and nothing t iso.
Mr HARLAN (Rep.), of lowa, thought it Could not
be denied that there was the tight of property in slaves.
in some Slates, in a qualified sense. At least, theaters.-
a doubt es to that, and also as to the celeste taloned right
of taxation. He iota willing to give the banana the
dcubt to the country and to the treasury, though he had
no doubt as to the conetitutional right to lily this tax.
Mr. BROWNING (Rep.), of Minnie, spoke against
hying such a tax, it being a more capitation tax and un
tionstitutional.
Mr. COWAN . claimed that a fair construction of the
Conatitetion was chatty against the proposed tax. It
was perfectly evident that the framers of the Constitution
intended to prebibit just arch a tax as is now proposed
to be laid, anti it seemed to him that no true Union man
would try to avoid the spirit and intent of the Constitu
tion. The very men who propose to lay this tax on
slime, would, with the other band, free all the slaves of
rebels, and thus destroy the very source of revenue
which they propose to col)-ct. But be was sorry to say
it at the two dollars a head was not the real reason for
!twee measures. It might be said he was reproach
ing the Senate. Well, he Intended to do so. It might be
said that ho intended to lecture the Senate. He thought
the Senate deserved lt, by passing acts which are calcu
lated to trample on the Constitution. It might be eald

hir. COWAN. When that, Senator settles a little ac
count which he ban with a colleague in the other Ronde,
I presume it will be time enough for me to pay attention
to that remark. Till then, be meet excuse me.' When
be raid be Intended to be dogmatic, ho menet that he in.
tended to ewer s 11:a own opinion firmly, as he bad the
bad to do.
Mr. WADE said he did not see any use in the Senator
getting up and declaring especial devotion to the Cons&
toiler . He ass willing to lietvo to -chrioooot.,_liot
noon not allow any matt, by implicaticn, to reproach
him with perjury. What right has the Senator from
Pennsylvania to lecture the Senator. tied reproach the
Senate? Who wee he, and where did he come from?
Whoever beard of him? Yet lie has the preeumption to.
erme heti sod lecture the Senate. He was wiling to ba
criticised,-but lie wanted it dote by somebody with Some
author Ho would raihorbe lectured by anybody else
than the SenatCr from Pennsylvania. That Senator has
a perfect right lobe the more advot de and watch-dog of
the traitors in the field, but not to come hero front the
wild, of Pew sylvania to lecture the. Senate. What vote
ban he ever given here, hut as the advocate of traitors on
all ore asionel Let him not rise and assume to earring
the Senate.. Mr. Wade contended that this was simply a
proposition to tax the - °Whre of what they claimed as
valuable property, and wee'constitutional, and would not
injure the men of the Balder States. The loyal men in the
Border States are not rlayeholders—not one in twenty.
Mr. COWAN said he might be a very bumble indi
vidual, and might be inexperienced and not mown, but
- he was bore as the representative of PennsyLvania ro
pe/entitle three millions of people, sun was not going
to apologize for his people, for his inexperience, or for hie
youth. He never understood that age and long service
here would eanctify folly or give character to billings.

leave his past history to those curious to inquire, and - if
the Senator who made the unwarrantable attack on him
can reconcile his otinduct to hie own conscience and sense
of propriety, he (Mr. Cowan) was willing to leave the
-matter. Bo (Mr. Cowan) had made an argument,
whether good or bad was not of much consequence. Tito
Senator from Ohio had made a low, vulgar ejaculation,
to which he (Mr. Cowan) replied. Did the Senator from
Obto answer the argument when he indriged in a half
hour tirade, charging him (Mr. Cowan). with being the
watch-fog of slavery, and a hundred other equally un
just Mosel Do was here es the representative of Penn
sylvania, to preserve the Cbostitution and restore the
'Colon. If be had to defend himself is the Senate in
that duly from unjust attacks, and resist projects which
ho considered wrong, be had nothing to regret.
After further discussion the vote was taken on the re
consideration of the vote taxing slaves, which was car

and oe have no experience in these matters. This bill
use the result of a vast re o l of lat>or and researcb. and

(Correepoudence of The Press.]
The rejection of Mr. Romans, as Secretary of the
Chamber of Commerce, is likely to ho the cause of lac al
eatable woes in that body. It appears that the members
have been doing some very unconstitutional things at
their recent annual election, and certain friends of !le
mons are reflecting. It would not be wonderful If there
should be some warm work loon ; certainly things do not
seem as if they would proceed much longer at the same
old-fogy jog trot.
The new c•nnty jail was Impacted by the Board of
Supervisors to-day. To my mind it le the only Prison
looking building in this city. Outside is unique; iaside,
without being uncomfortable presents all the features
of security nscessery for the purpose intended. The
ventilation Is perfect The walls are built of Philadel
phia brick, uimmed with Dorcheseer stone.
The regatta, postponed yesterday in consequence of
'the weather, took place to-day. The yachts left their
anchorage off the club-house, at Hoboken, at half past
eleven o'clock this morning, and want down the bay In
splocdid able. The steamer Birkbeck and other char
tered vessels accompanied the fleet, taking a large num
ber of spectators. The weather was favorable, but the
wind was light when the yachts started..
The steamer 0. 'Vanderbilt is expected to arrive here
this afternoon, with seven hundred sick and wounded
soldiers on board from General HcCiellau , a army.
Mr. Robert say, under instructions of the Board of
Trustees of the Greenwood Cem-tery, bit addressed a
lettereo Coy. Morgan, informing him that at a meeting
on the 28th nit., it was "resolved to appropriate ground
In the cemetery, without charge, for the interment of all
the soldiers of this State who shall have fallen in battle,
or who shall have died from wounds received in battle, or
horn sickness or accident incurred while on duty during
the rn meet war." To this patriotic and benevolent an
ti, ri the Governor responded, under date of the 4th inst.,
welcoming such " hem Beene° as an sate eat of the jedotte
care with which the future will preserve the fame of the
upholds, a of the If Mot in this great struggle for national
existence. The necessary arrangement in respect to in
tern sets there (Greenwocd Centeeery) will be made, and
an order for that purpose will be leaned."
