Tax en Crude Petroleum. To (ge Editor of The Press: SIR 5 The arguments again** imposing a taxon etude petroleum at the well* are unanswerable, but I ahull not enumerate them here. They proved to be effeotual with the last Congress, and ao far with the preient Congress, and are likely to continue ao to Hie end But the new petitiona mentioned in The Tress thie morning, demanding a tax of five cent* per gallon on orude petroleum at the well*, with a drawback of five cents per gal ton on all tl» refined oil exported, in order to give employment to some of our idle refineries 1 are cer tainly a novelty. If too many persons have rushed heedlessly into the refining business without suiVey leg the ground, or counting the coat, who is to bl ima but themselves if they suffer from the competition? What better right have they to an act of Congress for their especial benefit than those who suffer from competition in other pursuits all arouud us, espe cially when it is urged at the expense' and saorittoa of an Interest more meritorious than their o.vnl Even if their application could be successful, one early effect would be to double the number of refi neries, and speedily bring down the refining late rest to where it ie now. But, upon principle, they might as well demand a tax of five cents a pound upon wheat, payable at the threshing floor, with a drawback of five cers a pound upon all the flour exported, and tola for the benefit and proteofion of the grist mills °f tllo United States! If they succeed in their pur pose, they have but one more step to take, ana that is to ask Congress to prohibit tiie iiec tion of any more refiueries: to limit •’’‘j ji 11 ,?!, of producing wells; and to prescribe the exaotnjmr ber of gallons ol oil that e*ct>??? ££ a, reason mitted to yield per day.

Our da- SSencywmbe added to toe new draft, until every able bodied man in the ward may he taken from his fireside. The Government must be maintained at all hazards-. The Conscription Act has been declared constitutional by the Supreme Court of this State. Do you recollect the fearful state of suspense under which your family la bored while the names were being drawn from the wheel* at the provost marshal s office for the Second Congressional district, under the previous draft? You may have escaped, or you may'have been drafted. In case you were drafted, how much time did you lose wailing your turn for examination, while probably > ou were over age. or subject to some physical disability? What did it cost you for the sharks who play around the office of the Board of Enrolment? Incase you have to go through this ordeal again—even if not influenced by patriotism—would you not prefer contributing gene rously to a fund for paying the bounty for the'Firet w*rd. in order to fill the quota promptly? Are yon a father? Do you feel as though you could leave ycur children to enter the service? If so, go at once. Young mas. are you a mechanic or laboring man. with an aged mother, or younger brothers and sisters depending upon your labor for support? Can you re* fuse to contribute at least a few days’ wages to this fund, with, this statement of facts before you? In case yon are drafted you must either serve, find a substitute, or nay the commutation fee. unlesi exempted for disability. There are plenty ot men willing to enlist, at the risk of life and limb. All the wards m the wty are paying liberal bounties, in order to have their men crodited to their quota? at once. The First ward lias only just com menced. Those wards which pay the largest are filled at one*. Severalhavo already finished. The President’s proclamation, under the last nail. Is for 800,009 men. If these are promptly in the field, at the opening of spring such a demonstration may be mace against tbe rebellion as will probably recare a lasting peace withir- six months. Again. Is it not proper that who take the field fchould leave their families comfortable during their absence ? Their risks are far greater than those who stay at home. If what 13 here stated be the facts of the case, do you not think that you should contribute generously to this fund ?

The committee would remark for the information of the Philadelphia public, who have enabled this commit tee to more than rec eem its pledge to the War Depart ment. (“to defray extraordinary expenses attending recruiting of three colored regiments for the war, ) -hat the movementhas bean one of mirked success, and the recrui ing the most economical that has been accent* plipbed during the war. The' expense of recruiting the 64th and £sth Maseacnueetts colored regiments was over fcSQ.WO per regiment but after careful consideration of the whole subject the Supervisory Committee thought it could raise the three regiments promised the War De .partment at *IO,OOU per regiment. It has collected * - 388 (above mentioned), and on the 28th day of J age,,1393, sent the first sqaad of eighty men to Camp William On the 24th July, 1863, the Ist (3d U. S.) regiment was fall On the 13th September, 1803, the 2d (Gih U. B.) regiment Was full. On the 4th December, 1863, the 3d (Bth U. 6.) regiment as full On the*6 h January, 1864, the 4th (221 TJ. S.) regiment Was full. On the 3d February. 3564. the sth (25th U. S.) regiment lacks but a few of being full.- __ • ~ August 13tb, 1663, the 3d U. S. Regiment left Camp Wil liam Penn* and was in front of Fort Wagner when it surrendered. - • .. - _ . October 14th, 1863, the 6th U. S. Regiment left for Yvrk- January I6th. 1864, the Bth V. S. Regiment left for Hil to?^e22d and 26th Regiments are now at Camp William Penn, waiting ordtrs from the Government. Thus the committee have raised live regiments with the fund estimated as necessary to organize three. It has alßo recently opened a Free Military School at its headquarters, 1210 Chestnut street, under the care of John H. Taggart, late Colonel of the 12th Regiment Pennsylvania Reserves, and has at this time 161 scholars. AH'the students that have been sent before the Exami ners at Washington have passed, at d are now officers of Colored Regiments Two additional Preceptors have been engaged for the school—viz: an Assistant to teach Tac'icK and Aim? Regulation*.and a Professor to review the students in arithmetic and the higher mathematics, geography, and history. « The Committee having nearly exhausted the funds -in trusted to it, and believing it* power to recruit colored troops economically is by no means at an end. has as ted and received permit sion from the War Department to continue its work. It therefore solicits from citizens, and from the Banks, Insurance Companies, Railroad Companies, and other public institutions, renewed aid. The Committee feels confident that it is only necessary to call public attention to this matter to insure hs lull accomplishment. , . „ Sines the foregoing statement was compiled the foil >w in* ad iitional subscription* have been made Philadelphia and Beading Railroad Co Randolph & Jock* J.
