g4 t 1 , -- !1 ress. MONDAY, MAY 2, 1864. Mr. Chase and his Opponents. Come, gentlemen, we trust you have not given up your attack upon the Secretary of - the Treasury. It is too soon to abandon it. Bitherto it has been your custom to adapt the violence of your assault to the power of resistance—to make your abuse of a man proportionate to his service to the country. Judged by this rule, Mr. CHASE has not had one-half of the censure he has earned, and to observe it strictly you must pile Ossas of indignation upon Pelions of rage. The greater the man the greater should be the slander; yet the falsehoods thus far spoken of Mr. CHASE only repeat the ordinary ac cusations which almost every public man of any worth regards as matters of course. We imagine the opponents of the Secre tary goading themselves into wrath by con tinually reflecting upon the superiority of his patriotism and the vastness of his na tional achievements. They no doubt -re mind -themselves that when he assumed office he found a treasury without treasure, a war which demanded hundreds of thou ands: of men, and hundreds of millions of dollars ; they remember that he found methods by which the Government ob tained from the people the great loans it re quired ; they recall the bankruPtcy which threatened the country, and the skill by which it was averted; and when they eon siaer how thoroughly and faithfully this work has been done, it is not surprising that they are indignant For Mr. CHASE is the political opponent of his traducers, and the success of r any man is naturally asperating to his foes. Fiilnie they could have forgiven, but triumph is the unpar donable sin. " For really," they reason, these Abolitionists are capable of conduct ing the war frem victory to victory; of maintaining the honor of the country, and increasing its prosperity ; of holding down the South with one hand, and raising the North with the other, what is to_ become of us 2 We have, then, no claim upon the people, and cannot expeet that they will change an anti-slavery Administration, which has done well, for a pro-slavery party, which merely promises to do better." This is an obvious argument. Before the Administration can be destroyed it must be disgraced, and to shake the faith of the country in its ability and honesty is now, more than ever, the endeavor of th& Demo cratic party. This is its forlorn hope ; its solitary chance. Almost every man in the Cabinet has, therefore, been attacked in turn. Mr. WELLES could not catch the Alabama—imbecility. Mr. SEWARD sent traitors to prison—tyranny. Mr. STANTON did not give General McCLELLAN men enough to take Biclimond--.lealousy. - Mr. CHASE has not been invariably able to pick the one honest man out of the uncertain ten thousand --corruption. This is the terrible array of accusations which have for their climax the crowning guilt of the President, for Mr. LINCOLN keeps thesemaen in office, and that is efFroatery. Even now there are lips bold enough to speak of the mismanagement of the war, and to prove it by exaggeration of our de feats and depreciation of our victories. There are men who groan over the financial condition of the country, and gravely inform us that we are all ruined, at the eery moment when we know that we are eared. So extreme is this spirit of false hood that the enormous <debt under which - we walk without stooping, Mr. CHASE is mom dof imposing upon the country. Yet this debt, which bat for him might have been much larger, the very men who de nounce him for its existence have done no thing to reduce, but have consistently la bored to increase. In proof of this , we cite the significant vote upon the internal tax bill in the House of Representative& Each voter against it is a Copperhead l and a b it - ter opponent of the Administration in gene ral and, at present of the Secretary of the Treasury in particular. Yet this bill is in tended to prevent the contraction of new debts, and to help to pay old ones so that the very gentlemen who accuse Mr. CHASE of improvidence openly vote in favor of cer tain bankruptcy ! It is unnecessary to de fend an officer who is exonerated by the acts of his enemies. It is, perhaps, not too late to attacks the reputation of the Administration, but it is too early to protect it. For that, it will be time enough when it is really in danger. The Pay of Colored Soldiers. Congress, in equalizing the pay and bounty of white and colored troops, has maintained the honor of the national uni form. There is no longer an inferior grade in the army. Actual inferiority of race could have nothing to do with military organiza tion, for all men fit to wear the uniform of ibis country, to fight under its flag, to die in its defence, must be, we hold, equal in the formal estimation of the Government A colored soldier and a white soldier enlist for the same object, are put to the same ser vice, assume the same risk, and should have the same reward. Ethnological theories have nothing to do with military status, and if all that the adversaries of the bill in the House have said of the natural inferiority of the black race were doubly true, it would have no effect upon the practical ques tion decided so justly on Saturday. If the inferiority of the black man prevents him from being a good soldier, he should not be permitted to enlist; if he is able to fight, at all, he is entitled to the ordinary pay. The mere matter of dollars is secondary ; but the principle Congress has affirmed is of the first importance. The black troops in our service will be encouraged and strength ened by the consciousness that full justice has at last been rendered them, and as the Government has - declared the equality of all its soldiers, it can with more emphasis de wand Imre the rebels that recognition of equality they have insolently refused. We are-to see now if the enemy will respect this demand. Already retaliation is a duty ; but anGtlaer massacre will make retaliation a pan of our common military law, as tho roughly a necessity , as the provision of food and powdet We have but one grade of soldiers, and if, -by the slaughter of _those of, color, the rebels attempt to force upon us a difference we repudiate, we must teach them that in murdering our troops they earn the death sentence fOr themselves. • WAS WesantEvroat, May 1, MK Mr. Chase. The Congressional Republican caucus have agreed to ask for the appointment of s joint committee of Congress to investigate charges made against sear& buy arms by FSAtn/{ BLAIR, Senator Hotirs offer a resolution to that effect in the Senate to morrow. This action is demanded by Air. Crinsa's friends, who desire to• give an official and effectual refutation to Oestrus heaped upon him. General lialleck. By order of the War Department, Gen. HAl:neon has been assigned to the command of the thwalry Bureau. All communications referring to the beef nese of that bureau will bet - caner be addreased to The Army Appropriation Bill. While the Senates amendments to the army ep. propviation bill were under consideration in the House on Saturday. Representative Semmes, chairman. of the Military Committee, proposed to substitute for the sections relating to negro soldiers the Senate's bin equalizing the pay of ail soldiers of the army . , which had been passed upon by that com mittee, W ith wine modifications, and alio inarealing the Mk The Senate having become impatient at the delay of the Howie in not acting upon their bill, inoorpo. rated its provisions in the army appropriation toll, which priffilieug, with ametnlcaente by the Coin. - mitts* of Ways and Moans, and those of the Mili tary Committee, formed the basis of the Souse pro. ceedhigs of today. and the result is as stated is the Congressional summary. - Our Consular Service. A letter from the &watery of state aalls the at tention of the Rouse COmmittee on Commerce to several Senate amendments to the diplomatic and commis? appropriation bill, recommended by the in. rates Committee at the auggeation of the Secretary, and designed to secure a more efficient working of the consular mob= and the execution of the law of the last Cloagrese. _ The law requires ell invoices of geode imported into the Vnited States to be authenticated by our Ne n* by which conaulat fees will be increased do this the preient year more than... 00,000, and alio SO protect our tuvenneafrom the orerationa of smug glen Jit (1 . 1 , 11d16. it is as to illintror the salariaa of 0,800 from the now unimportant porta of Otranto, Taranto, An cona, and Napoleon Yeatom to the eOnaulates Brindle, Gibraltar, St. Helena, and Boulogne.

It is probable that the vote will be taunt to the Rouse, on Wednesday, on the bill to provide re• publican governments for States overthrown or usurped by the rebellion. A number of prepared speeches are Yet to be delivered upon that subject. The French Tobacco. The rebels may endeavor to make capital out of the refusal of our Government to permitthe French veuels to ascend the James river, but the French, Minister here Is satisfied that that river cannot at this time be navigated with safety, and that the veg. eels could not bring away one-quarter of the tobacco alleged to belorg to the French Government. It is also known that the tebel GoVernment Muni to al iow the removal of the tobacco until it has paid the war tax. Important Order of the War Department. A. epecial order, issued by the War Department this morning, Imitates all enlisted men, now in this ally on detailed duty, to report forthwith to their regiments; in the field, unless they can produce, from the proper medical authority, oertineates of phyla. cal inability, and are unable to perform dude' to the field. • • The Loyalists of East Tennessee. JAMES R. Hoop, editor of the Chattanooga Ga. zeta, is in Washington, as the representative of the loyal citizens of Lower east Tennessee, to urge upon the Government a modification of the order discontinuing the issuance or sale of rations to citi. yens at points mouth of Nashville, Tenneesee. The loyal people protest against the policy of melding them to the rear as a most ungrateful return fir their many 'Redline for the Government during the war._ Mr. HOOD believes that if the people were paid for the provisions which they gladly tendered to Our soldiers upon their advent into that portion of the country, they would be able either to pur chase toed at home, or remove to the rear with the dignity of free citizens, Instead of being subjected to the humiliation of begging from the Government, when, intact, the Government is their debtor. It is intimated that Mr. HOOD consider, the construction of the proposed railroad from Ken tucky to Knoxville as a measure which will only enrich a few individuals, and that its benefits to the people generally will necessarily be deferred until they will have secured supplies from other sources, and hence he urges the payment of the loyal people for their individual losses in preference to the ap propriatiOn for this lead. The Occupation of Mexico. The joint resolution passed by the House about a month ago, protecting against the French occupa tion of Mexico and the establishment of monarchi cal institutions on this continent, still sleeps in the Senate's Committee on Foreign Relations, which is permitted for reasons of state policy. Abandoned Rebel Property. The Secretary of the Treasury has communicated through Mr. W..tenrittnists, of Illinois, chairman of the Committee on Commerce, the draft of a bill re lative to abandoned property, with various sug gestions concerning necessary legislation upon the subject : The first section sanctions sales of live stook, planting implements, and machinery, at points where collected, instead of sending to some place in the loyal States, as required by the present law. Section second connects the care of abandoned plantations with the general care of the freedmen, whose support must be derived from the oultitration of those lands, unites they are to become a burden on the treasury. The provision involves little ex pense or &lay. Section third provides that fees be charged for permits, graduated according to the magnitude of the transactions, and that they be paid into the treasury, after deducting attendant expenses; also, money . arising from Mateo of abandoned land. section fourth meets the eases of persons residing within the lines in insurrectionary Stales, who claim to conduct trade and transport supplies therein, without being subject to prohibitions and penalties applying to persons from other States. Nieetion firth is intended to sanction restrictions upon trade and transportation, in loyal States even, for the purpose of preventing supplies being fur-' . niched to rebels. Section sixth repeals the existing distribution of one-half of the proceeds of abandoned property to informers and custom officers, and leaves the whole Matter with the court deeming forfeitures. The Secretary suggests the necessity of a revision of the law governing minima prizes, now con strued to cover captures on inland waters, and even properly taken from shores. Most of the cotton captured has, by fraudulent practices, gone into individual hands, and very little has been realized to the Government from the cotton owned by the so-called Confederate States. He favors the abrogation of the whole system, and the purchase and transportation exclusively by the Government. IRE WAR IN VIRGINIA. THIC ENEMY FORTIFYING THE LINE OF THE RAPIRIN.

The Flewbern Timer of the 27th instant contain' the following additional particulars of the capture of Plymouth : „ The rebel force was under the command of Brio gedier General Hoke, and was much larger than we su ppose& It must have amounted to at least twen ty thousand men. The rebel cavalry was under the command of Brigadier General Ransom. The first attack was made on Fort Gray, which was situated about one mile from town on the Roanoke river. " The rebel battery which commanded this fort, it is said, was planted on Polkas Island, about a mile distant. " On Wednesday morning the rebels prepared to storm cur works in Plymouth. They accordingly massed their forces and precipitated them upon Fort Wessels, Battery Worth, Fort Orgy, and Fort Wil liams. These platen Were taken in detail, and, after several repulses, were finally captured . Bu t even then, it is said that General Weasels still held out, and fought the rebels in the streets of Plymouth, throwing up rifle pits for the protection of his men, and was only overpowered by sheer force , of nnur bats, being nearly twenty rebels to one Federal sol there " is also said that General Weauels pulled off his coat and went into the work himself, with the meet indomitable energy, throwing hand grenades. On the surrender of the plaids, the eolored soldiers, and 2d Loyal North Carolina, stampeded for the awasops. Most of the negroes, we regret to hear, are said to have been measamed. The (*admit of the rebel soldiery, or the ofthers, or both, is said to hate been barbarous in the extreme, and that they even went so far all to threaten personal vie. /end* to the gallant old soldier who had commended, for so nobly punishing them.

After the fight at Prairie (Pilules Steele pursued the rebels a few miles towards Washington, and then suddenly turned and pusshed= for Camden. Price discovered his mistake awl started tot Camden also.

MESSAGE FROM TER GOVERNOR The Return of Money Borrowed to Pay the Militias Recommended. A LAW PASSED FOR THAT PURPOSE HAERIBBIIBIN Nay I.—The Governor yesterday communicated to the Legislature, by 611pol:dal WM sage, the fact that congress as yet has made no provision for the payment of the money advanced by the banki for the pay of the troops called out for the emergency In 1863. ' The following le a eopy of the Governor's message : To the Senate and House of Rettfeeentativee OENTLI.MEN: On the 16th of June last, in consequence of the advance of the rebel army north of the Potomac, the President issued his proclamation calling for militia from then State to repel the invasion, Limmedlately le aned my proclamation of the same date, calling on the militia to come forward When the men began to Mieeill ble uhder Ilia call of the President, some difficulties ar are from their isnwillingr ess to be mustered into the eervica of the 'United Staab. as 'mischievous parsons made themselves busy in mlsrepresentteg the collie- OWASSO of kb& Muster. In This +Attie of affairs I sag. gested to the President the expediency o whichalling the eo as to remove the cirffictilttes had been thus created. The President approved of the . sug gestion. and for the purpose of obtaining the end propzetd by hie proclamation. directed me co make a State call for militia. I accordingly. on the 28th day of June, 1863. issued my call fdr the militia The United btates clothed. equipped. and +subsisted the men thus called in service. but declined to pay them, on the amend that Congress - had made no appropriation for that prtlpose. Asenrances were, however, received from the War Department that if the money to ilaY these troupe ehould be borrowed by corporations or individu ate. application Would be made to Congress on its meet ing to make the necessary appropriations to reread the money thus advanced. Copies of two telegraphic des. Patches from the Secretary of War are herewith submit ted—one addressed to me, dated July 22, Mg, and the other addressed to a member of a committee of the Union Leanne of Philadelphia, dated July 91st. 1833. and which was immediately communicated to me. On the faith of these assurance% I pro- Posed that the moneyed institutions of the State should advance the money. there being no State appro priation tor the purpose. I pledged moiled thet if the money should be co advanced, I would recommend an appropriation by the Legislature to refund it in case Congress should fail to dO so. A copy of my letter on this subj ct, dated July 22. 1563. is herewith submitted. These being not entirely satisfactory to the gentlemen composing the Committee on Banks. they had an inter view with me here, and I finally handed to them the Paper dated 24th of July. lltb3, a copy of which is also henewith submitted. Several of the banks and other corporations in the State. acting with their accustomed, spirit and patriotism. promptly came forward. and agreed to advance the necessary fonds, and tie troops Were accordingly paid.

The answers given by the Secretary of War were, of course, sanctioned by the President. The pay of iheee trcope was in tact a debt of the United States. and the ;aith of the Government was pledged to do all in its poWer to procure the proper appropriation by Con gress to refund the money.

MISS TBItiCBA OARBLZAVO OONOILATO, though Ma derately successful, have not been at 'neonatal as they deserved. The talent of this latest pianist prodigy is quite genuine, and, for a child of ten or twelve years, the strength and accomplishment and spirituelle of her renderings are certainly remarkable. These concerts have reintroduced to us a new tenor of considerable purity and sweetness, high range, and excellent strength, whom it will please the pub lic, we think, to hear again. We mean Mr. Farley, who made his first appearance here as Sloe, in the German production of "Faust," with much credit. Signor Brignolra last concert shared the common misfortune of a rainy evening and extensive compe tition, but was fairly attended. His execution of the romanza from "Faust" was as admirable as we could expect it to be, and Signor Dragont's highly educated baritone was mind applauded. Mimi Laura Harris, who appeared in Brignoll's concerts as a debutante, has decidedly the best voice of any recent conoertiste we have heard. It is clear and silvery, high in range, and well adapted to the in genious details of operatic music Mr. /Mew hauor's violoncello performances were not the Watt enjoyable part of the concert.

The concert given under Mr. Perelli'm direction, by a number of his most acoempiliked poplin, was especially auto maul. The overture to " 0/arissa Harlowe," an; original. opera, which Mr. Perelli brought out at Viesna many sears ago, was, although more *onspl• - cuons as a technical effort than one of striking idea, another proof of his intelligence and capacity as a musician. The solo from "Lucia," and the ballad of "The Three Fishers," were among the beet per of the evening. A CHILDREN'S FESTIVAL.-Under °barge of one of the Committees of the great Central Fair, a brilliant May-day party, for some time in anticipa tion among the children, will come " off today, at the Assembly Buildings.

Only today now remains on which to make returns. After that time, persons who have failed to give a Hat of income and taxable property will be liable to have an estimate made by the asses sor, to which fifty per cent. must be added, and the gross amount taxed according to the law. The blanks furnished by the assessors state that "as it in not impossible that certain changes in the rates of Income tax may be adopted by the present Congress, the rate to which any income Is liable cannot now be stated." It is probable that the tax will be fixed at the figures which pissed the House lately, via live per cent, on incomes exceeding six hundred dollars and lees than one thousand dollars, seven and a half per cent. on.'incomes between ten thousand dollars and twenty•tive thousand &Mars, and ten per cent. on all income, exceeding the latter figures.

Guardians and trustees, whether such trustees are so by virtue of their office as executors, administrae , tors, or other fiduciary capacity, are required to make return of the income belonging to minors, or other persons, which may be held by them in trust, and the 1.60.31n0 tax will be assessed. upon the amount returned, alter deducting such sums as are exempted .hy law: Provided, That the exemption of six hundred dollars shall not be allowed on at; . count of any minor or other beneficiary of a trust, ' except upon the statement of the guardian or true• tee, made under oath, that tile minor or belled:nary has no Other income from which the said amount of six hundred dollars may be exempted and deducted.

William Whiting, Solicitor of the War Department, is pub. halted for the Inforinitiio/1 and guidance of all otlif acre of title bureau : In regaid to the question whether the pleskof non residence in the district where a drafted man may have been enrolled, should, under all cireum• stances, be regarded by Boards of Enrolment as 4 legal end proper ground lorlgemption from mili tary ceryice under the draft in that district, arm. When a person who lurk been enrolled and, drat.; ed, clahntexerepilon troin'the draft on the ground or non.resklence, the, Board of Befell:dent will be justified in granting it it he makes satisfactory prone on three points: lat. His non. residence in the district where he claims exemption at the time of his enrolment therein. 2d. - What his plane of actual residence was at the time when the enrolment therein was made. 3d. That he was, or is, actually enrolled, and has been dratted, or is liable to draft in his place of ae. teal residence. All persona from Whom militaty service is re• quired under the act of Congress, are noble to ell• rolment and draft in some district. The notation of the occupations and residence of persons enrolled is not required to enable unpatriotic citizens by tech• nical objections to avoid their fair share of public duty, but to identify the persons drafted and assist in Equalizing among the different districts their re apective quotas, Whoever has been enrolled in one Marie% and inter di to claim exemption front draft by reason of residence elsewhere, must take care to be enrolled where be resides. If the cm:voted enrolment .be promptly effected, an application thereafter made to the Provost Mar shsl ii.eneral, or to the Boards of Enrolment, will protect him against double liability; but if he neg lect this privilege, be ought not escape all military service in time of war, by proving that an error had been made in the place of hie residence, the spelling of his name, or the description of his trade or ofnu-. potion. It Is deemed a - privilege 'to enter into the military service of the Ignited States.
