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. •

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

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.

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.

the Little Missouri, where the rebels were driven
from their line of breaetWOrks commanding the

which they fortified with a line of rifle.pits and em.
pailments for barbette guns a mile and a half lorig.
General Steele flanked their position and Price
skedaddled alter a bride tight towards Washington.
Other skirmishes occurred during the march, but
our total loss is lea than two hundred. Price sup.
posed that Steel's was going to Shreveport via

to 'Washington.
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. A desperate race ensued, and, although heavy
skirmishing occurred all the way, lilarmaduke being

Steele came out victorious and entered the enemy's
fortifications unopposed. Camden is strongly for.

well guarded. It can be held againet a largely
superior force. • -
A large rebel transport was captured thirty miles
below Camden.
It was understood that reinforcements and sup
plies were going overland from Little Rock to Steele,
he not being able to draw either from General

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

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

The remainder wag expended in paying sumk of them as,

the United States for the purpose of enforcement of the
draft. 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

Public Entertainments.
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.

certs which helped to make last week What it truly
wes—a week full of entertainment. 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• -

another proof of his intelligence and capacity as a

of the evening.

Tint Iwcomit TAX.—The andegeora and
assistant assessors of the various oollectlon districts
are now busily engaged in taking the returns which
are to form the hails for the assessment of the an
null taxes. 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.
In no came, whatever may be the rate of tax to
which an income is liable, is a higher Tate than one
and a half per cent. to be assessed upon that portion
of income derived from interest upon note., bonds, or
other securities: of the United Stites. In order to
give full effect to this provision, it is directed that
when income is derived partly from these and pertly
from other source'', the six hundred dollars and other
allowances made by law shall be deducted as far as
possible, from that portion of income derived from
other SOUNCIL
When a married woman is entitled to an income
which is secured to her own use, (tee from any coa
ti of of her husband, the return should be made in her
own name, and the assecamMit will be made separate
from that made against the husband. Where a hus
band and wife' live together, and their taxable in
comes are in excess of six hundred dollars, they will
be entitled to but one deduction of Nix hundred dol-1
Lars—that being the average fixed by law as an es.
Misted commutation for the expense of maintain.
ing a family. Where they live apart, by divorce or
under contract of separation, they will each be en
titled to a deduction of six hundred dollars.
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;

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-.

It Is deemed a - privilege 'to enter into the military

.Tbe first story and cellar were occupied brPeter W.
Caine & CO. as a grocery store. The stock suffered
considerably from water. The stock and tint - urea
are insured to the amount of s3,se* in the Reliance
Insurer ce Company, which will probably cover the
loss. The remainder of the building was used as a
boarding-house by Mrs. Rebecca Remnant. She
was confined to her bed with sickness at the time,
and had to be carried out. Her furniture and clothes,
and the clothes of the boarders,suffered severely
from water. She has, no insurance. The building
is owned by Mr. Hugh O'Donnell, and is covered by
insurance. The adjoining buildings were slightly
damaged by water, and several cellars flooded.
About the time this tire was extinguished, another
alarm came from the box at Twenty-second and
Market streets, which proved to be a false one,
some malicious person having opened the box and
pulled the wire.

—Numerous complaints having been made to Mr.
Pugh, the Oommiasioner of Markets, against the
cleansing of fish in the msrket•houses, an miter
was issued on Saturday to the clerks to notify all
figibmongers to stop the practice complained of, or

began to be carried on to a very great extent. Not
content with merely taking the scales off, the en
trails were taken out, and then either thrown in the
gutters or sewer inlets. In the warm sunshine a
very disagreeable odor would be emitted front the
accumulated mass of decayed Mk entrails.
