Wlatar'a Expedition to Richmond* On Saturday morning Gen. Butler 1 ! forces, under command of Brigadier General Wistar, marched frem Yorktown by the way of New Kent Court House. The cavalry arrived at 2K o’clock yester day morning at Bottom’s Bridge, across the Chicks hominy, ten miles from Richmond, for the purpose Of making a raid into Richmond, and endeavoring by a surprise to liberate our prisoners there. The cavalry reached the bridge at the time ap pointed, marching in 16K hours forty seven miles. A force of irfantry followed in their rear, for tho purpose of supporting them. It was expsoted to surprise the enemy at Bottom’s Bridge, who had bad for some time only a small picket there. The surprise failed beoause, as the Richmond Examiner of Monday says, l4 a Yankee deserter gave information in Richmond of the intended move ment.” The enemy had felled a large amount of timber so as to blook up and obstruct the fords, and make it impossible for our cavalry to pass. After remaining at the bridge from 2 o’clock until 12. Gen. Wistar joined them with his infantry, and the whole object of the surprise having been defeated, General Wistar returned to Williamsburg. On his march back to New Kent Court House his rear was at tacked by the enemy, but they were repulsed with out loss to us. A match by our infantry, threeregi ments of which were oolored, of more than 80 miles, was made in 66 hours. The cavalry marched over 100 miles in fifty hours. Thiß shows that it is possi ble to make a campaign iu Virginia in winter. Gen. Wistaria force was composed of the Ist N. Y. Mounted Rifles, 3d New York, 6ih Pennsylvania, lith Pennsylvania, and 20th New York Cavalry, the 118th N. Y. Vola., 139thSDfew York, one squadron of the 145th New Yoik, the Uth Connecticut, the 4th, stb, and 6th United States colored troops, and two batteries of artillery, THE GRAND RECONNOISSANOE FROM THE ARMY OF THE POTOMAC. The heavy reconnoissanoe sent out on Friday eve* ning and Saturday morning returned on the night of the 7th, having ascertained the enemy’s exact po sition and probable strength. The 2d Corps (Gen. Warren’s) took to Morton’s Ford at 7 A.M-, on Satur day, under Gens. Cauldwell,Webb, and Hayes. Gen. Alexander Hayes, commanding the 3d Division, led the advance in person, fording the river waist de op,on foot, at the head of Gen. J. T. Owen’s brigade. The re bel sharpshooters, in rifle-pits, on the other aide, kept up a galling fire, while a battery stationed on the bills to the right, and a mile beyond the ford, hotly shelled the advancing column. On reaching the south I ack of the R&pidan a charge was ma-Je on the rebel rifle' pits, and twenty-eight men and au offi cer captured. A few of the prisoners regarded their situation when taken with indifference, and the ma jority seemed inclined to rejoice rather than weep at the fate which had befallen them. Much skir mishing ensued, and at midnight Wanen reoroased his troops. That gallant Pennsylvanian, Gen. Alex. Hayes, commanding the 3d Division of the 2d Corps, whose reckless daring on many a battle-field haß excited the astonishment and admiration of his troops, met with a narrow escape while on the other side of the river. A rebel bullet pierced his trowsers, burying itself in his saddle, without, however, inflicting a wound. Above the flag of his division is a white silk streamer, presented to him by members of his command, bearing the words “My God, my Coun try, and Gen. Hayes.” Gen. Kilpatrick’s cavalry reconnoisaacce con clusively proves that no force of the enemy occu pies the country east of Mine Run. The small parties of cavalry all belonged to Hampton’s Le gion, which Is stationed at Fredericksburg. More than half the videttes have no horses, are seldom relieved, and are sometimes obliged to walk twenty three miles to their post of duty. The rebels are represented as being engaged in replanning the road from Chanoellorsville jto Orange Court House, and are laying out several hew roads through the wilder ness. CAFTTJRJ2 OF REBEL. CAVALRY IN NORTH The Newbem (N. G.) Times y of the 6th last., says an expedition left Newport on Wednesday for White river, under command of Gol. Jourdan. The party was composed of Vermont and New York troops, and a part of the 2d North Carolina Regiment, who rendered efficient service as guides, &c. On Thurs day evening they came upon a body of cavalry about five miles from Young’s Cross Roads, and captured the entire party of twenty, eight men and thirty holies, arms and accoutrements, &o. A quantity of corn was also captured and brought in. The com mand returned to Newport on Friday in fine spirits, but somewhat fatigued, after their march of seventy miles. They did not lose a man. STRENGTH OF THE REBEE ARMIES. Accounts from the South state that the rebel armies embrace to*day more men than at any mo* ment sines the commencement of the war, the con* scription having been ruthles sly "*enforced in all classes liable to its action. Unless our armies are sirongly reinforced before next spring, the military authorities believe that much of the advantages we have gained within the last twelve months must in evitably be lost by the evacuation of territory which we will not have sufficient troops to garrison* THE REBEL COUNTRY UNDER GRANT. An officer just in from Gen. Grant’s headquarters states that all through the country in the rear of the Union lines a Union officer, in his uniform, can ride unmolested to any portions of Mississippi, Tennes see, and Alabama, halting at farm-houses along the road for such leiieshinenta and shelter as he may desire. The country to the rear of our lines is thoroughly pacified, and it now only requires some military governor to do for these States what General Butler did for Louisiana. It is believed that the transfer of General Sutler to the military governorship of the States embraced within General Grant’s com mand would be most acceptable to the latter officer. HOW A GENERAL WAS CAPTURED. - Gen. Scsmmon, who was recently captured, with his whole stall and guard, asleep in canal boats, tied to the bank, In Western Virginia, has several times previously been reported for misconduct and inca pacity to the War Department, and hiß removal was thereupon urged by the military authorities. At an early hour on Monday (says the Herald) Wall street was precipitated into a small panic by a bogus “ Herald ” extra—Two days later from New Orleans; capture of Mobile! B}ooo8 } ooo prisoners, 130 cannon, 400,000 bales of cotton!” Washington, Feb. 8,1864. The following highly important despatch has been received : Mobile, Feb, 1,1864. Major General Hdlleck , Gcneral-in* Chief: On Saturday, the 30th of January, at daylight, a combined attack was made by Admiral Farragut and the forces under my command upon this city, which, alter sustaining a bombardment for sixteen hours, and b«hg partially consumed by fire, was carried at midnight by assault. I regret to add our losses are severe. The importance of our victory is beyond my immediate appreciation. We have taken about 8,000 prisoners, 130 cannon, and About 400,000 bales of cotton. N. P. BANKS, Major General Commanding. » This document,” (taya the Herald) ‘‘was an nounced in the vociferous way in which extras are usually announced by the newsboys, and was, so far, natural. Therefore, it sold readily, and had some effect on the market. But the whole cxcitfr ment was cut short by the arrest, at our instance, of the newsboys engaged in this fraud upon the publie. Sergeant Matthew and Officer Healy, of the Second precinct, were commendably active in this matter. This is a fair illustration of the manner in which a certain part of Wall street manages its little game.” REBEL OFFICERS RETURNING TO ALLE- The Nashville Union of the 6fch inst. publishes no • less than three public recantations of rebellion. One is by D. C. Humphreys, an Alabamian Douglas man. On the question of slavery he says: This gieat moral, religions question we should meet like men, as becomes a Christian people. We should meet it openly and boldly, and if the voice of Christendom Is against us, yield to that as the voice of God. We have undertaken to fight out of it, but it sticks the closer to us. We cannot shut ourselves up within the cotton States and defiantly proclaim to the world that our system is peculiar to our selves, and that it must not be investigated. Major T- H.

He asked them **if they wanted the Constitution administered 1 If they did, they were fools, for it would hang them and all their friends now in the rebel ranks, if caught, for the penalty of treason is death.” A GIRL SOLDIER. A young girl from Pennsylvania enlisted at Os wego last week as John Davis. She went to Bing hamton, and while on the cars her sex was disco vered by a soldier, who reported her case to Officer Farnham. She was arrested by Farnham, and is now in jail. She is very pretty, and but for her voice her sex would be scarcely suspected. She had not been examined by the surgeon, and 'designed to evade an examination by having a man (a friend of hen) examined, and she take the enlisting papers. She is but eixteen years of age, very intelligent, and extremely modest. THE LETTER OF MR. BOTTS, The Washington -Star publishes the genuine text of the admirable letter of John M. Botts to State Treasurer Smith, of Yirginia, declining the proffered Sen&lonhip. He says: “ in taking the position I have done in reference to the rebellion, I have been actuated by no sordid considerations, and by no selfish desire to advance my political or personal fortunes; but it has been forced upon me by the clcar t unclouded l conscicntious t and overwhelming convictions of my best judgment, free from all passion, prejudice, or ambition. “ The extent of my aspirations for the present is to return ‘good for evil * to this once venerable and venerated, but'now poor, downtrodden, shattered, heartlessly-sacrificed, and dilapidated old * Mother of States,’ that has been reduced to her present miserable condition by her leading and trusted statesmen, .who, with miscalculation upon miscalcu lation, .and blunder upon blunder, with every pro phecy and promise unfulfilled, have been groping their way in Siberian darkness, and with the most Philadelphia.

Gen. Banks, commanding the defences of Washington, August, 1862, the general supervision of which wav under charge or Gen. Slough, Military Governor of Alexandria. The first commandant selected for the camp was Col. T. S. Belknap, of the 85th Regiment N. Y. Yols. At this time the men were in the ordi nary wedge tents, without floors, and entirely want* ing the care and comfort necessary for the well doing of ccfavalescents. On the 3d day of January, 1863, in compliance with orders from Major General Heintzelman, Samuel McKelvy, Lieut. Col. and • Chief Commissary, Department of Washington, as sumed command of the camp. At this time bar -1 racks were in course of erection, and the men quar tered in tents near by. * The morning report of January 3, 1863, showed present (B,36o)eighty.three hundred and fifty mem • a majority needing speedy medical examination*.to /deciderelative to their final disposition, the medical corps not being of sufficient force. Col. MoKelvy the facts to the proper authorities, and had the satisfaction of having the matter speedily re medied by the appointment of two boards of medi cal examiners. Through the experience of Surgeon Charles Page, in charge, the medical department of the- camp was placed in good working condition. Surgeon Sanford B. Hunt relieved Surgeon Page, and is still surgeon in charge, Dr. Hunt has displayed the qualifications of a tboiough medical offioer. His services will long be re. mernbered by the very many gallant sufferers that have received kindnesses at his hands. In February, 1862, fifty barracks, capable of accommodating five thousand men, with dining rooms and cook houses, together with hospitals for five hundred men, were turned over to Lieutenant Colonel McKelvy, by Captain Joshua Norton, A. Q. M. of General Heiat zelman’s staff. In the erection of these buildings, Captain Norton earned for himßelf the reputation of an experienced quartermaster and thorough archi tect. The labor on the buildings was performed by soldiers temporarily detailed. To explain more fully, Convalescent Camp is situated between Fairfax Seminary and Long Bridge, near Fort Barnard. The grounds are beau tifully laid out, the drainage excellent, with plenty of shade, and ample liberty for the exercise and en joyment of the men. At this time, the following named are the officers at Camp Headquarters: Samuel MoKelvy, Lieut. Col. and C. S. com’ding. R. P. Crawford, Captain and A. A. General. Sanford B. Hunt, Surgeon in charge. F. T. Stewart, Lieut. Com’ding Camp Distribution. The camps are divided as follows: Ist Division, commanded by Captain H. B. Patton, sth P, R. Y. C., comprising men of Pennsylvania regiments and United States regulars. 2d Division, commanded by Captain H. B. Paxton, sth P. R. Y. C., comprising men of regiments of New York State. __ a 3d Division, commanded by Captain J. N. Bird, 7th Wisconsin Volunteers, comprising men of regi ments from the Eastern States. 4th Division, commanded by , comprising men of xegiments from Western and Southern States, and New Jersey, The working Of the divisions are as follows: The men are divided off into barracks of one hundred men eaoh. A non-commissioned officer is in oharge of a barracks, the non-commissioned officers are designated as ward masters; they are held respon sible for the proper conduct and discipline of the men—to have roll-calls, note the arrival and de parture of the men, and report the fact to the dl vision commanders daily or oftener. Attaohed to each division is an acting assistant surgeon, whose duties are to examine the men o! their divisions daily. Those whom they think fit'subjeots for the Invalid Corps, discharge, or to be returned to duty, are re ported to division commanders. Those fit for duty are sent to Camp Distribution, to be forwarded to their respective regiments. Those for the “ Invalid Corps” or “discharge” are sent before the Exami ning Board, and from, there to the surgeon in charge, whose decision is final. Commanders of regiments seem to be fully capable of managing their com mands. The cleanliness of the barracks, neatness of the men, and- good order and discipline of the camp, are due to these officers in rigidly enforcing the orders of the camp. The medical depart ment is in charge of Dr. Hunt, before men tioned, His responsibility is great. Always strict and attentive to his duties, his firmness, together with his amiability, have wonfor him many friends. The Quartermasters Department, under charge of Captain John A. EWson, A. Q. M., has suitable buildings for the protection of public pro perty and stores; its stabling large and commo dious, and the means of transportation amply suf ficient for the calls of the service. The demands of division commanders are promptly responded to by the captain, who is a /most efficient and energetic officer. The Commissary Department, under oharge of Captain Charles F. Hoyt, C. S. Vols., has always on hand an abundant supply of commissary stores, giving as the ration all the regulations allow. Cattle are slaughtered in oamp, and fresh beef at all times delivered as part of the ration. Attached to the department is a large bakery, where fresh bread is issued daily, having a capacity for turning out sixteen thousand rations of bread per diem, if called for. In so case has Captain Hoyt failed to honor requisitions on his department. Attached to the camp are two large kitchens and dining roofns; the kitchens are oapable of cooking rations tho roughly for from twelve to fifteen thousand men. The men eat their rations in the dining-rooms, marched in in two ranks, in charge of the ward master. No cooking is allowed outside of the kitch en, cooks being detailed for that purpose; by that means good and substantial rations are given the soldiers, and much labor saved the men. The post office of the camp, under the oharge of Captain Marston, 82d Regiment Pennsylvania Volunteers, receives and delivers on an average each week fifteen thousand letters for the soldiers, many of the letters containing money received and forwarded to their families and friends. The number of un called-for letters Bent to the dead-letter office amounts to about three hundred and fifty per week. The mail leaves camp daily at eight o’clock each morniDg, and is received at eleven o’clock A. M- The arrangements of the offloe are so complete, that a mail of from two to five thousand letters is de livered to their rightful owners inside of two hours; the postal arrangements can compare favorably with any cf the post-offices of our large cities. Adams 7 Express, too, has eßtablishen an agent id camp for the delivery of all packages addressed to soldiers in camp, and for the purpose of forwarding money to the families of soldiers. A vast amount of money is sent per express through this office. Another feature is the photograph gallery, under the charge of Mr. Jones. He is an old and expe rienced photographer, and is daily visited by the sol diers, having their bronzed faces taken to send to their families and friends. His charges are mode rate, and the pictures compare well with any taken in our principal cities. The Sanitary Commission has established a branch in thiß camp. Their agent, Miss Amy Brad ley, is one of the noble ladies of the country whose voluntary service has done much, very much, for the soldiers connected with this camp. Articles of clothing needed by the soldier, not furnished by the . Government, can always be had by applying to Miss Bradley. There is a library, too, with a large and commo dious building, well adapted for the purpose, con taining about six thousand volumes. Some twelve to fifteen hundred volumes are issued daily to our literary defenders. Mr. Miller, of Massachusetts, is in charge. The chapel is beautifully situated in a quiet grove, and with its steeple and bell cannot fall to awaken home-like emotions, even to those passing by. One thousand soldiers can be seated, and services are held three times a Hay, under the auspices of the Christian Commission. In connection with the church, I must refer to the Jinal resting-place of some of our poor boys. In the rear of the hospital are the cemetery grounds, neatly laid out, and sufficient for a thousand graves, it Is enclosed with a neat and substantial fence, every gravehaving ahead-board, with the name, company, and regiment of the deceased* I cannot conclude without bearing testimony to the officer-like conduct and executive military ability of Captain R, P. Crawford, assistant adju tant general. To him and his business-like quali ties is due much of the efficiency of the camp* *+** A Mercantile Tragedy* On the person of Mr. Luther C. Tibbetts, the in sane broker who stabbed the policeman, on Monday, in the New York Produce Exchange, was found the following singular letter: Enclosed is a report of Friday’s oorn market from the New Yoik Times, which is very correct, ana pro bably better than I can do it myself.

I have but a very few moments, and I am not disposed to- yield the floor for the purpose of answering any question, Mr. Feknando wqod. i desire simply— Mr. I yield. The gentleman introduced bimselt into this House by offering a resolution declaring the present war to be inhuman ; and for that reason, and because of the known po litical standing of the gentleman, his known sym pathy with rebels against the best Government the world ever saw, his attempt yesterday fell compara tively harmless upon the country and upon the members of this House. The gentleman does not confine himself to de claring this war to be inhuman; but in his speeoh, as reported in the Globe of this morning, he charac terizes this war as a hellish crusade of blood and famine • Has it come to this, that a man can stand up in the American Congress, when the Government is struggling for its existence, when a formidable attack is made to destroy the Government handed down to us by our fathers-1 say has it come to thW, that a man can stand up in the Amerioan Congress and ptonounce this as a hellish crusade of blood? A hellish crusade, indeed, sir! A hellish crusade I presume it would be for a man to defend himself against an assassin ; a crusade for a father to defend bis wife aDd children against an attack made by an assassin at midnight; a erusade, indeed, for the Go vernment to struggle in putting down a rebellion whioh strikes at the life of the nation ! Why, I say, did the gentleman travel out of the order of discussion for the purpose of attacking the people I represent 1 Why did he do it? I will tell J’ou why. It was because the people of Utah are oyal to the Government, and have no sympathy with rebels. I know of no other reason but thia. They are loyal, and have been, to the Constitution and the Government ever since the war commenced; yea, before, ever since the people have had an orga nization in thiß country; loyal to the Government, loyal to its institutions, and submissive to its laws. But, sir, in justice to the gentleman from Dela ware I must be brief. The gentleman from New York says: 1 * But, sir, that is not the only case. I come to a later ana yet more peitiuBnt and significant case—the Mormon rebellion. These profligate outcasts, who bare alwtys been hostile tiryour moral and political institutions, were treated with by commissioners. 11 These “ outcasts!” Mr. Speaker, HI am'told, and this House is told that the people of Utah are out casts. I hurl back the accusation upon the gen-, tleman. I pronounce it false. I pronounce the statement false that the people of Utah have ever been in rebellion against the Government or its laws. I have had some experience in tte Terri tory of Utah for some years as its and I take this occasion to say that the or that Territory have always been submfWlvd to the laws, have always been loyal to the Constitu tion and the Government, ana have always been obedient to the authorities of the Federal Govern ment in that Territory. I will tell you, sir, why this formidable military force was sent to Utah in 1858. John B. Floyd was then Secretary of War. and James. Buchanan was President of the United States; and it was for the purpose of bringing about this very state of things that now exists, and pre paring the way for it, that a large force of ten or fifteen thousand men was sent into the Territory of Utah, and that, too, when the people of the Territory were pursuing their peaceful avocations, loyal to the Constitution and the Union. I say that there was no cause for sending that army to Utah. None ex isted whatever. There was no reason for it, but that arch-traitor, John B. Floyd, foreseeing, as he did, that the time was near at iapd when the Southern States would revolt against the Government and establish a Government of their own, set on foot a large military force against the people of Utah, transporting to it an army at an expense of forty or filty million dollars, thus impoverishing the United States treasury, and for the purpose of preparing the way by crippling the North, with a view to the rebellion which is now upon us. These men were sent to Utah with all the paraphernalia of war, with infantry, artillery, and cavalry, for this purpose alone. The people were quiet; they were peaceful; they were loyal; they were submissive to the Go vernment and to its laws. I say that it was for this purpose, and only for the purpose of impoverishing the treasury of the United States and of disposing of the army of the United States; for after that army was recalled it was engaged at Fort Crittenden in destroying the munitions of war that they might not be brought back to the Northern States to assist in putting down this rebellion. . Mr. Smithhbs. Will the gentleman from Utah pause awhile? He has already oooupied the ten minutes he requested of me. I wish now to under stand whether the time which he ooouples is to come out of my hour? If not, lam perfectly con tent that he shall proceed. The Sfbakeb. The understanding is that the gen tleman from Delaware has yielded the floor to the gentleman from Utah for a personal explanation by unanimous consent, and hence the time occupied by the gentleman from Utah will not come out of the gentleman’s hour. Mr. Kinney. Mr. Speaker, it was for the reason I have stated, and for that reason alone, that the traitor, John B. Floyd, inaugurated this war against the people of the Territory of U : *h; but I say to the gentleman that not a gun was fired upon either side, neither by the Federal troops nor by the people of the Territory. It was only the appear ance of war, and it was for the purpose of destroy ing the aims and crippling the means of the Government and impoverishing the Treasury oj the United States, as I have stated, that this Urge military force was sent forlk against a peaceful ana loyal people. The gentleman says that the people of Utah were in rebellion. Sir, they never have been in rebellion against this Government. They have not, as the gentleman from New York has, any sympathy with rebels. The gentleman should look to his own city. I thick he has been a very distinguished citizen of the city of New York, and has had the honor of presiding over that vast metropolis; and it is said, Ido not know with how much truth, that the recent riot in the city of New York, by which the street flowed with blood, and innocent women and children were butchered—it is said that a large share of the re sponsibility of that riot rests upon the shoulders of toe gentleman from New York. But, Mr. Speaker, when a man will stsndupin the halls of this Con gresss at this time, when it is important for every man, if he enunciates sentiments at all, to enunciate loyal sediments, and attack the Government and the loyal people I represent, I trust that his attacks Will be bAimksß and of no oflec’. 1 would ask the gentleman if he did not, when vessels carrying arms to the South from New York were detained by the Government, and he was tele graphed to by the Governor of Georgia on the sub-, ject, telegraph to the Governor of Georgia that he regretted exceedingly that these vessels had been taken into custody by the Government, and that he bad not the power of releasing them and sending them on their way rejoicing ? I presume such is the case; and are we, I say—are grave members of the American Congress, aeeem« bied to legislate for the best interests of the country, who arc trying to save for posterity the Government bequeathed to ua by our fathers—are we to sit here and listen to sentiments breathing treason against the Government without saying a word against it? If I were a member of this House in full fellow ship, in place of being a delegate, the first thing I would do would be to introduce a resolution in this House to expel the gentleman, as unworthy to oc cupy a seat upon this floor. [Great laughter.! I think it due to the dignity of tho body, due to the nation, due to the people whom we represent, that he go back to his constituents, or rather to the place to which be more legitimately belongs—to the Southern Confederacy. Mr. Speaker, I propose to quote a little further from the gentleman’s speech; and I will say that the speech, as it appears in the Globe : and as it was delivered yesterday in the House, differs in some very essential particulars. Undoubtedly it has been prepared with care by the gentleman, &Qil tb&t we have the right to take it as it appears in the Globe , He says, in speaking of what he terms the Mor- Don rebellion: “It coruruenctd early in 1867. The immediate caufq was opposition to the txerciee of Federal authority, and the appointment of a Territorial Governor. On the 15th ol September of that year BrlßhainTonnglsBn9dap.ro cleniation. in the style of an independent sovereign, an nouncing his purpose to resist, by force of arms, the entrs of the United States troops into the Territory of Utah. Be proceeded to carryout this threat. lie or ganized an army, declared martial law, seized Govern ment fortifications, destroyed Government property., and pntthe Territory in a state of complete defence against the Federal army.” I ask the gentleman for his authority when he says that Governor Brigham Young seized Govern ment fortifications and destroyed public property. If he was as familiar with Utah as he seems to be with the rebels, he would never have made that statement. There were no Government fortifica tions in Utah at that time, and none were seized by Governor Brigham Young, or by the people of Utah. It is true, Mr. Speaker, that when] the people of Utah heard, lor the first time, after the Federal army was fairly on its way across the plains, that a tre mendous military force was on ita way to that Ter ritory for the purpose of destroying them, of exter minating them from the face of the earth, for the purpose of pillaging and plundering their fair pos sessions—it is true they did then precisely as any other people would have done under such circum stances ; they prepared for their defence. But that army entered Salt Lake City peaceably, asd 10 quiet No* a gun was fired, not a drop of blood was shed. Andjhia grand programme, inaugu* rated by Floyd for the purpose I have indicated, and as has since fully appeared to be true, after remain ing there for some two years* destroyed nearly all their munitions of war (for they were engaged many months in doing it), and were then recalled, and the gland farce ended. That is all there was of the Mormon rebellion, as the gentleman called it; not a rebellion by the Mor mons, not at all, but a military expedition, set on foot and carried into effect in 1858 by John B. Floyd, for the purposes which I have already stated ; and it has hAd its effect. It has crippled the North. For the time being it crippled and impoverished the tteatury of the United States; and Mr. Floyd and Mr. Buchanan were content, for it ooat the Govern ment nearly fifty million dollars. Sir, the people of Utah have, under all their dis couragements and embarrassments, built up a beau tiful city in the midst of the great American desert. They are feeding, and have been for years, the em ploy £a of the overland mail. They are furnishing the necessary supplies for the purpose of developing the reacuicfci of the rich mineral regions which sur round them.

Revision of tile Revenue Laws. lII.—PRINCIPLES OF TAXATION. To the Editor of The Press; Sis ; Having suggested pinna of assessing and collecting taxes whioh conform to the principles of equality, I have now to oonalder how far thlß prin ciple can be oarrled out In the new ayatem by which baaea and rates of taxation are to be reaiaasi&ed and regulated. The impression prevails that means must be taken to raise additional revenue, and this seems to be the main purpose in suggesting a revision of existing laws. State Treasurer McGrath-c'oses the recommendation, which I have hereto! quoted, with the assertion that, if adopted, “ it will produce a very largely increased revenue.” Governor Curtin says, “ I should be glad if the Legislature would make a general revision of the revenue laws, with a view to their increased productiveness.” True, the Governor insists upon distributing the burden of taxation equally among the people of thg Common wealth ; but, in default of seouring this by a system atic reconstruction of our revenue aode, he suggests at least one measure of a partial and inequitable character. It does not seem so clear to me that the State wants lsrgely. increased revenues; they lead natural ly to increased expenditures. There is at present enough for all current needs, and we are reducing the State debt at the rate of a million dollars per annum, which will extinguish the whole la about thirty years. There is no clamor for its payment, and there is no reason why this generation should burden itself gratuitously for the benefit of the next. To my mind the first thing to be sought fori id *' revision of our revenue code, is to secure the thorough assessment, at its true value, of ail pro perty liable to taxation. I have proposed a plan by which this may be accomplished, and increased' revenue will flow from its adoption. I quote from the report of the Hon. HenryD;. Moore, late State Treasurer, and to aavo. fattier eulogy upon its incidental mention, I now say that it is the most liberal, sagacious, and statesman-like document which has appeared upon State finances. He says: “ I again express the hope that, in what ever action you may take, you will endeavor to bring within the operations of the law those citizens, and their immense property and wealth, who have hitherto escaped taxation, by falling to make a true and just return to the oifioers of the State. By doing this you will (In my opinion) nearly double the in come or revenue of the State, without the least in crease of the present rate of taxation.” Assume this to be true, or even partially true, and It gives us more revenue bun we want, impo sing upon us the duty of considering how to reduce and equalize the burden of taxation. It will make it easy for us to gradually remove all impositions and restrictions upon trade and commerce, and to foster such associations for road making, I tabling, manufac turing, and improving, as develop the great mineral wealth and resources of the State, and thus direotly and incidentally enrich and strengthen the Common wealth. The principle of equality is most precious, and I would neyer depart from it, except to favor such corporations as I have alluded to. The tendency of legislation has heretofore been in the apposite di rection, and the taxes imposed upon suoh associa tions are most glaringly inequitable. The Hon. Henry D. Moore, says: “ There are to my knowledge mining companies in the State which pay very heavy State and county taxes upon the land which is the basiß of their stock and corporation, and also a State tax upon their stock according to its assessed value, and the stockholders have never received a dollar of dividends or revenue from their shares .” Here the same property is taxed doubly, and the case becomes much worse if these plundered stockholders, with more than human virtue, make return under the law which imposes a further tax upon the stock in their hands. What a miserably mistaken policy is this! Yet it is proposed to extend and perpetuate it. Railroad companies are not treated quite so badly, yet they seem to be regarded with special animosity. The commissioners appointed to revise the revenue code adopt the plan of taxing the gross receipts of all railroad companies, and fix a iax of two cents upon every dollar of their earnings. They propose to tax tonnage as follows : Upon the produat of mines, for each ton of two thousand pounds, two cents ; upon the product of the forest, upon animals, vegetable food, and and all other agricultural pro ducts, three cents; upon merchandise, manufactures, and ail other artloles, five eents. In addition to this, the stock of railroad companies is taxed for State and county purposes in the hands of the holders, Examining the Governor’s message, I find, out of four propositions for raising increased revenues, three are aimed at corporations. State Treasurer McGrath, in his report, harps upon corporations. The best reason for imposing additional burdens upon companies is the ilippsnt assertion that they can bear it; not that the State needs additional re venue ; not that corporations do not pay their pro portion of taxes. No; here is something that may be taxed; therefore, tax it. It proeeedß upon the same principle with Pat’s advice to his friend at the fair: “ Wln’iver you see a head, hit it.” It is said by the commissioners that, owing to the intangible nature of the property of corporations, a general system of taxation cannot be made cable to them. This is a mistake. It is said that' their franchises are valuable. That is true s but whatever value they have Is represented by some thing whioh may be estimated, returned, and taxed, like any other property. It will take the shape of capital and accrued profits, and be represented by stocks, bonds, dividends, or ready money. Tbe Governor would impose a special additional tax upon companies which enjoy “substantial mo nopolies.” This is bad in principle, and would be worse in practice. If certain corporations possess exclusive privileges wbich should never have been granted, let them be repealed. If the State will burden oppressively these privileges, the companies will use them to caßt the burden on the community, and the original injustice is thus aggravated. In suoh cases it is always some partieular interest, or a certain class of individuals, that suiTers, and in that end tbere is lots to the Commonwealth. I propone a general system of taxation, which shall apply to the property of corporations and in dividuals alike. By it all ‘property shall be taxed —all property shall be taxed equally—and aU properly shall be taxed but once. If, under this system, rail road companies pay more or less taxes than at pre sent, neither the companies nor the public can com plain, No association, no individual, can success fully oppose the principle of equality. Theiatereata which may he more heavily taxed under this system will be protected by the principle of equality from the burdens which popular ignorance or legislative caprice might in.the future cast upon them. Certain corporations are, from their nature, be yond the reach of local taxation, and being peculiar ly within the authority of the State, should be taxed only for State purposes. This will relieve real estate from the burden of State taxation, except the tax of one and a half mills, specially appropriated to the liquidation of the State debt. As taxation for local purpores falls mainly upon real estate, this is no more than just, and in a few years, with the im provement of State finances, even this light tax may be taken off. There are certain other corporations which have a local habitation, and all their property exists in a tangible form. Of this; nature are manufacturing, mining, improvement, gas, and water companies. Their real estate should also be relieved from all State taxation, except the tax of a mill and a half before adverted to. The former olass of corpora tions should mane returns to the Commissioner of Revenue; the latter to the assessor of the proper county or district. To effect this the revised code should contain something like the following pro visions i Every incorporated bank, or similar institution, shall report annually, in writing, and under oath, to the Commissioner of Bevenue, stating the amount of its capital paid in, and its true value; the amount and rate per cent, of every dividend declared; the amount of any surplus or contingent fund 5 and all its asset* and property, of every nature and kind whatever. Incorporated railroad, steamboat, ferry, express, telegraph, or transportation companies to make report as above, setting forth the amount of stock and bonded debt, and $ll other securities; repre senting the cost of their improvements, machinery, and other property, their assets of every nature, dividends declared, and the amount of any contin- gent or sinking fund. The real and personal estate of manufacturing, mining, improvement, and other companies, not re quired to make returns to the Commissioner of Re venue, to be assessed in the district where located, and, when assessed, the corporation and stockhold ers not to be required to return the stock repre sented by such property. 'Where any corporation pays tax upon its property direotly into the State Treasury, the stockholders not to be required to make return of their shares. These propositions are not Btated with much art. I am making suggestions, not framing a bill, and my only care is to convey my idea. Having discussed the principles of taxation, I shall endeavor, in my next, to fix what I conceive to be equitable rates of taxation. C. m Exemption of Friends from Military Service.” To the Editor of The Press: Sir: Having read with muoh interest the com munication of your correspondent on the above sub ject, I would, with your permission, add a few com ments upon it. Although 14 Citizen ” has given a very fair argument against the exemption of Friends, ho does not appear to have touched the mala points ©r the esse. These appear, to the writer, to be two; the first being general In its bearing, the other par ticular, and of special interest to Philadelphia, or portions of Pennsylvania. The first is this, that should Congress recognize the principle of being number of the Society of Friends, °r »nv other con icientious antiwar society, a.acause case It would open a very wide door through w . of a war if opinion, which the pre.ent war ha. Mh come, all who were opposed io the war could e«eape Ihe draft We mieht have all the brooa oi ijopper helde little «uSI« and all, joining the .ooiety, and a .rr.n’« «e“nent of your oorreepondent would not li able to eit them «p before they got through tSi Jkmr Now? if an? ono doubts the probability of thi. l Kippoiredcaiie, I would ask him if he thtak. the preconceived religious opinion, of any Copper heed opponent of the war and opponent of emanci pation would be strong enough to prevent him joining so respectable a society. In such an event the very respectable society would suffer much de terioration, and the presiding elder would have to exclaim with St. Paul: “ Alexander, the' Copper head, has done me much evil.” The other objection to the exemption of Friends, which is. of particular interest to the people of such districts as those in which they might happen to be a majority, or a large plurality, is that such exemption would throw the onus of the draft on the remaining portion of the inhabitants. This objection I think that Con gress, out of regard to simple right, is bound to tsice In conclusion, allow me to say that i r 2 n !. o ?Jnu!d phrases in your correspondent’s remarks it woul appear that he had availed himself of a cause of ex emptton the principles of which *}e condemns, and 1 would ask, for ihe information of those who migni he protected by similar clauses, whether fti- juni liable for those who agree heart and With the war, and with the underisingprlnoiplea of It, wnion your oorreepondent certainly does, to receive me benefit of «l!>h exemption Hicrs A4IIC oRl r M, Fbubpabt Slit, ISO-? : TUB WAR PRESS, (PUBLISHED WEEKLYiI fn W AM P»BS3 Will bt Mnt to «afes«riben br <per ftonoßilatdru.?e)at'...~.. qq ThiM copUJ**”'** 11^| Fir««opie». • m Tea*opiei. • • ♦"** *l* Lftrrar Clnbs than Tan will be shAfted *t the »«it nte. tuo Mr copy.

Leypoldt's Foreign Library, of which aevon vn> lumea have appeared, ia also a popular aertea It oonaieta exoluaively of worka of ilotion by foreign noveliats—Englieb, French, and German. The laat, issued volume ia The Romance of the Mummy, from the French of Theophile Gautier, translated by Mra. Anne T. Wood, who has done her worlc well, but unfortunately shows a curious deficiency in spelling, inasmuch aa for sombre, mitre, sceptre, ahe gives such unwarrantable Webateriau substi tutes as somber, miter, and scepter. The tale is well told, particularly the opening, describing the finding of the Mummy, which turns out to be the virgin, wire of Pharoab, who perished in the Red Sea I Mr. Leypoldt’s third aeries ‘'Standard Works of Fo reign Literature;” la not uniform In size, for It varies from lSmo to Imperial Bvo. There have lately been added to it, Musical Sketohea, by Eliee Polko, trano lated from the fifth German edition by Fanny Fuller, ’ This consists of twenty-two novelettes, in which .musical composers, performers, or singers are tha > leading personages. There ia variety enough here, at all events, for the persona thua treated of are Se> t&ytlah Bach, Gluek, Mozart, Mendelssohn, Pergo leal, Schubert, Scarlatti, Weber, Paganlnf, Grety, Catalan!, Malibran, Fanny Hensel, Haydn, Garola Boieldieu, Gimarosa, Beethoven, Sully, and Berger? For the moat part, these sketches are entertaining—' some of them even spirited—but a few are feeble, and that of which Handel ia the hero is extravagant is, vention. In thia, too, Mias Fuller Shows herself fat too literal as a translator. She makes Handel visit a prlma donna, and repeatedly ask her to give him her partition, By considering this work with the context, or by oonsultiDg a dictionary, one may And that partition is here used for a musioal score;— bp. lng, indeed, only a Frenoh noun whleh, on some few occasions, has been pressed into the English service by pedantic writers. The simpler and more intelli gible word score would have been better used here. Another volume in this series is a carefully edited reprint of Chaucer’s Legende of Goods Women, with an introduction and notes, glosiarial and criti cal, by Hiram Ooreon. This is the first time, w» believe, that Chaucer's Legende has been'made aa easy to the general reader as his more popular Can terbury Tales. We confess to the belief that tha latter are by far the be-t, in all respects ;-but still tbe Legende was worthy of being edited and anno tated by a sensible scholar. Mr. Corson evidently has devoted much labor upon this task, which will do much to make Chaucer more read than he hith erto has been among us. His exposition of Chau cer’s metre will facilitate this a great deal, and help students who desire to beaome acquainted with early EDgUih literature. Mr. Corson’* introduction should be read several times before entering on the perutal of the Le geode, for it is the key to its being readily understood,—by the way, we dislike the familiarity with which Mr. Corson speaks of “ Sam Johnson's critical dicta ” The next thing, perhaps, will be to make mention «r Jack Milton, Johnny Dryden, Alick Pope, Bill Shakspeare, Wat Scott, Georgy Byron, Alf Tennyson, and Noll Goldsmith It i* only just to Mr.Coreon, to add that his notes, nu merous, but neither too many nor too long, are of great value, and show an extensive range of read ing among the poets of England, recent as well at ancient. Tyrwhltt has been before him in anno tating tbe Canterbury Tales; but if Mr. Corsna will edit Tyrwhltt, introducing the new lights of later critics, Mr./Leypoldt will find the publication a remunerative «ne. Among Mr. Lsypoldt’s recent Issues is the edition, two volumes Imperial, Svo, of Schiller’s Complete Works, in pr.se and verse—every line that tk« greatest German poet published, except hit translations, ; not many, ofrom the Greek, French, Italian, and English. These are dl his poems, including his dramatic compositions, with his essay s, criticisms, biographies, his tories, novell, and romances. These translation*, revised, with additions, by Charles J. Hempai, M. D., of this city, have been executed by various hands, viz: The Poems and Ballads, by Sir Edward Bulwer Lytton ; the Robbers, by Henry G. Bohn ; Don Carlos, by R. D. Boylan; the Camp of Wallen stein, by James Churchett; the Plccolomini and Death of Wallenstein, by S. T. Coleridge; William Tell and Demetrius, by Theodore Martin; Mary Stuart, by Joseph Mellish; the Maid of Orleans, by Anna Swanwiok; the Bride of Messina, by A. Lodge; the History of the Revolt ol the Nether lands, and the History of the Thirty Tears’ War, by the Rev. A. J. W. Morrison; the Ghost Seer, and the Child of Destiny, by H. G. Bohn; the Dignity of Man, the Verses to Goethe, Semele, the Homage of the Arts, the Philosophical ami Aesthetic al Writ ings of Schiller, by Dr. Hempel, the American edi tor. These volumes, oontaining nearly 1,309 very large pages, equal to nearly 3,000 pages of ordina ry 19mo size, are sold at five dollars:— << the force of cheapness can no lower go.” Lastly, Leypoldt’s Series or Educational Work* are to be glanced at. They are all practical: The last is Bellinger’s New Guide to Modern Conversa tions, in French and English; a new edition, re vised, corrected, and enlarged by dialogues on tra velling, railways, steam-vessels, &c , by C. and H. Witcomb.

But Franklin Pierce was President when this was executed as the model from whioh a larger figure In bronze was to be oast for the dome of the Capitol, and he was afraid that the South might not Jibe the looks of broken chains; so it was rejected.

GEMIKAL NEWS. Who Firxd ConT*s Armory I-— That the suppo sition of an emissary coming from the rebels to fire the building is not preposterous, is shown by the fact that not long ago a workman did oome there with the piteous story that he was a deserter front the rebels, and was employed. But notice how and when the fire broke out. It was during the only half hour in the twenty-four when a watchman was not present: there being an interval of half an hour in the morning between the goi&g away of the night watchman for that floor and the one below it, and the coming of the day watchman. It could not have been fired in the night, because then the watchmen are all about, and no one could have got into the building. It was kindled in the wing connecting the two main build ings, so that it was likely to take both and destroy the rifle as well as tho pistol shops. It started where the patterns and much choice dry wood were stored, which would readily kindle. It is a great mystery how It could have caught fire Itself, and no one but a rebel sympathizer could have desired it* destruction.— Hartford Press, Tee Malden Bank Mup.der.— lt appears im possible to entertAin a doubt that the murder of the young cashier, Converse, was deliberately planned and executed.
