11r,e5,5. SATURDAY, MAY 7, 1364. The Probabilities of the Situation. The intelligence received to-day adds to the probability that LEE has resolved to fall back within the entrenchments of Richmond. The Wilderness, which the ..A.rmy of the Potomac has passed without opposition, would have been naturally the place to expect opposition. There the army was severely punished in the battle of Chancefforsville, and if General LEE in tended to oppose the advance it would seem problible that he would have there placed his forces. It is, however, thought that LEE is CIF trenched near Orange Court House. The objections to this theory a glance at the Map will make obvions. If it lac true, Ile has not only permitted Generai GRANT' to flank - him, but has abandoned Richmond to the of the army on the Penin sula. The forces under BUTLER are, no doubt; sufficient to capture the city, if LEE'S" tinny i Rat iii position to defend' it, and; in that ease, it is clear that General GRANT sbould not force a battle until BU'r. LEE'S 11)0Vcluellt become decisive. policy would be to detain LEE until the capture of the city -is effected, and a strong force ei-talti , lted in his rear_ We believe that the F m pit auous advance of two or more large armies:l:won one position must force its defenders to concentrate upon the central point attacked, and are not disposed 10 believe that LEE will commit the lun der of giving battle at a point so far die taut from Inehmond. 3ftich; however, depend: upon facts that are unknown— upon the :strength of the reba.armics, and their ability to offer desperate resistance on the : Peninsula as well as beyond the Rap paliitimOck. Criticism based so generally upon - conjecture is not worth much ; but if we are permitted to assume that our armies are much larger than those of the rebels, we do not see how the conclusion that LEE has retreated upon Richmond is to be aToidiA. The report that General Bun SIDE was attacked, on Monday last, by LONGSTREET 7 at Thorouabfare Gap, and defeated, was so plainly false at the first that we are stu•- prised any- journal should he found mill ciently mischievous or credulous to publish it. But it is now positively proved untrue by deptitt-Ite:-,1 frOm General BURNSIDE'S headquarterS, dated the 4th instant. Ile was then - at Warrenton Junction, expecting to move that day. If LEE retreats lo Richmond he will have the great advantage of the e.oneen. tration of sll the troops which the enemy can brine: up for the defence of the East. He will be reinforced most probably by BEaurEGA up, who will be at the least . near enotut - h. to co-operate. His rear it will be easier to protect, and he will defy the UluOn army from - behind entrenchments upon which the best engineering skill of the Confederacy and the labor of three years have been expended. In that event, ft siege is inevitable, and General GuANT :will give us another Yie - kshurg, and not another Chaitanooga. It is evident that much depends upon the celerity of our movements and the force of our blows. The events of this week have probably al ready determined whether Richmond is to lie besieged, or the enemy forced to give battle in the openfteld. We have no fears of the result. In Gen. GnANT we have the fullest confidence, and equal faith .in the spirit of the grand army he commands. We judge his future by his past. WI has never been in haste to advanc,c - ; butwhen he htui once challenged battle nothing has daunted .or repelled him. When he had once placed his army in the rear of - Vicksburg, he never stopped fighting till he held the city with an iron .iraan ; before Chattanooga he Waited until the country began to doubt whether the attack li'ould ever be made, but when it was made it Was over Whelming. We have a logical right to adduce from these pre- mires a very emphatic conclusion, and to expect- a campaign that shall of all things be energetic. Energy is what we most want. The Army of the Potomac would have conquered long ago, we firmly believe, if it bad been. lran died as it deServed to be. If the giant had had its much energy in his brain as in his body, it would not be now left to General GRANT 10 destroy the rebellion in Virginia, and deal upon its Imo a blow inspired by the full strength of the country. But let the past bury-the past. Let us even cease the use less effort to unveil the future. It is with the present that we are alone concerned, and its aspect could not be more en- couraging. _ Wehave reason to hope for so much that there is very little room for fear.: General Butler's 11111111EP. General BUTLER'S movement on the Pe ninsula is of extraordinary importance. He is in personal command of the whole army, aided by the preSence of Generals W. F. 53uT r , GILMORE, TERRY, and WEITZEL. FroSithe ability of these leaders we may infer the. size of the army they com mand, tonl know that the movement is - indispensable element in the general attack. BUTLER, a man of remarkable en . - ercy, haS already disembarked his troops at City Point, as we learn from 'despatch received at the moment of sending this esli. 7 lion to press. He is thus opposed to BEA1;- r:R(4Am), who is known to be at Petersburg with thirty thousand - men: Front City Point he threatens 'the Petersburg and Richmond Railroad, and if 'he - defeats BEALREGAIED will cutoff the rebel capi tal from reinforcement from the South. When we consider the vast importance of the movement, and the necessity of its suc cess to the complete triumph of the entire campaign, we are the more astonished that a general marching on the enemy should be attacked by _Northern journals. Yet we are not alto.gether surprised, for our poli ticians understand the very moment to -attack a soldier is when ite is about - to give btatte and is embarrassed with na tional duties. Mier all, if it makes little difference to General BUTLER who defanies him, it should not make mudh to us ; his • best defence is the service he is doing the country, and if this be ample refutation of slander, then other argument would be vseless. The Churehe,s To-Morrow•, We alluded yesterday to the sublime sympathy of Christianity with Freedom, and the all-encouraging fact that the influ ence Of the Christian Church everywhere sustains and justifies our Government. But if ever prayers were needed it is now. To morrow will be to us a day of peace, but for our armies it is far more likely to be .one of deadly strife. We would therefore recommend to our clergymen and churches the duty of dedicating this day to earnest prayer for the success of the Union armies in the grand movements they have just be gun. The presence of the members of the General Conference of the Methodist Epis copal Church of the United States, inclu ding so many distinguished men, will Give further interest to the solemnity of the day, und there is no reason why all sects should not be united in the performaut:? of this national duty. If we are Defeated? It is not often that we find in the New York jl'm•id opinions we can fully sustain, and it is, therefore, with unusual satisfac tion that we quote the following paragraph. A newspaper that is usually in the wrong is the more emphatic when occasionally right. The surprise with which we have read this good advice will be shared by the public, which we entreat to remember that this colmscl is more impressive, being ziven by_the World, than it would have been if given by a thoroughly loyal journal : "The most important counsel we can offer to our Collllollllell when such great events are impeudimr is to fortify their minds against discouragement from any possible result of the coming battles. We should ere shame upon our soldiers, if they should flinch and lose tile victory by want of heroic steadi ness. We can fully trust them on that score ; hilt can we trust ourselves 1 if the advance is beaten, the reserves will conic up with the same vigorous alacrity as if all had gone well; they would dis grace themselves if they should give up while there was the slightest possibility of success. Tim public amatimcnt of the eonntry Alin& in the same relation to the whole army that the reserve does to the advance. If the country wavers and is east down in ease the army is repulsed, we shall disgrace our manhood as irre trievably as we should byeowardice in battle. There is no use of ollering any counsel as to glint the coun try should do if we are -victorious: Success is com pel ent to take care of itself. lint if, contrary to our hopes and cuipeetations, we should be beaten, we trust that ovory man of position and influence ; who loves his country, will Oct his face like a flint against any talk or intimation of succumbing to foitune. - We are in a crisis when posterity cannot overlook ns ; and since we are certain to go into history, let us sit for our picture in a decent and manly lati tude.

Tour being relieved from Newbern by me in no manner implies any censure upon your action or disapproval of your administration, and vas determined upon many days before the order was actually sent, and before it was known or be lieved there would be any demonstration upon your command by the enemy. That order was delayed by the necessities of the service in other movements of the department, which arc solely subjects of explanation. With sentiments of respect and esteem, I have the honor to be, very respectfully, your obedient servant, BENJ. F. BUTLER, Major General. To Major General P.Eva - . By the above, it will be seen that the fall of Plymouth, on the 20th of April, had nothing to do with General Pavx's change from North Carolina, and that no censure is imputed to that officer. The National Ilauhs—Opinion of Score - tary Chaime. The following letter wit?. read by Senator Suf.:U 7TX"; to-day, during the ConaideratiOn of the Na tional Currency bill : Tax seer IJKPARTMENT, May 2, 1,26-1. Nothing but my deep FMK of the importance or sustaining. by every possible means, the public credit, upon which the sole dependence of the Go vernment by means to suppress the insurrection must rest, would induce me to address you this let ter upon a subject which has already received sp much consideration. The bill in relation to the national banking sys tem, now under debate, is in the nature elan amend- Ment to the act of last session. Though a com plete bill in itself. it contains a few provisions not substantially embraced in that net. 11111011 g which that in relation to the measure and distribution of taxation mar be regarded perhaps the most im portant. 'Under ordinary eircuinstances there might be no insuperable objection to leaving the property organized under the national banking law subject, az. arc alma all docriptions of Kopertv, to gene• ral taxation, State, National, and municipal j but, in the present condition of the country, I respect fully submit that this particular description of pro perty should be placed in the same category with imported goods before entry into general consump tion, and be subjected to exclugieely national taxa tion. At the present moment the duties ottimports form the sole reliance of the Government for means to pay the interest on the public debts. If to these Ineani. the taxeB to b ria e hl by the National Banks shell be added, a most important addition will be made to these measures. £he mere fact that these taxes arc made payable to the National Govern ment, and so available for the payment of interest On the public debt and for the redaction of its prin cipal_ will strengthen public credit and fbeilitate the negotiation 'Of the necessary loans at moderate rates of interest. I have no doubt that such a dis position of these taxes would be worth more to the oveminant during-, the present strut,-xle in practi cal results than three times the actual value of the taxes themselves. I do not at all suggest that this description of pro perty should not be taxed as heavily as any other description_ On the contrary, I think it just that it should bear its full proportion of the public bur dens. lam only anxious that the taxation upon it shall be made to contribute as largely as 'possible to the general welfare; and it is the conviction deeply impiessed on my mind that it will contribute more when aggregated in one mass, and made to tell upon the general public credit, timn when divided be tween the nation :Old the titates and numerous municipal corporations, that prompts me to address these views to Under any plan Of taxation that may be adopted, the anunint of taxation distributed to the several :States and municipalities will be comparatively small and unimportant, and it is quite possible that the Mtn] taxation of banking property for all pur poses will be than it will be if taxed excamively for national Purposes. The advantages of partition to States and municipalities will therefore be small, and banks may not lose by it. The nation alone will he injured. It will not be understood, of course, that the foregoing rtigi s eestions are intended to apply to real estate held by any banking institutions. That description of property must necessarily be held tinder state laws, and should properly be sub jected exelitt-iyely to state taxation, except in the event of a direct tax by Congress. The ease is otherwise with the personal property and clean of the banking associations. These re ceive their orguinisations from national law, and for great national purposes, and may therefore with great propriety, and as have endeavored to show at thepresent time, with great public advantage, be subjected to exelusiVe national taxation. - Very respectfully yours, S.

RUMORS, &e., A ROUT THE ARMY OF THE POTOMAC, WASHINGTON, May 6.—Yesterday afternoon, at two o'clock, information was received by General Burnside that a large force of rebels was moving southward by way of Thoroughfare Gap. This was mu comnicated by signals, and General Ihirnside at once started a large force of cavalry, who came up with the enemy as they were passing through the Gap. A volley from our men brought to the ground a lieutenant, supposed, from the mark on his shirt, to be named Marchand. He is be lieved to have been an aid to either Leo or Stuart, as orders were found upon his person, signed by order of General Lee, directing Imboden and his cavalry, and all or the cavalry force in Northern Virginia, to move at once and join General Lee. These orders were dated on the 4th inst., and it is supposed that the cavalry retreating south was not only that of lmboilen, but all the rebel oftealry ltt Northern Virginia, except probably a few guerilla bands and marauders who could not in time receive the notice. This information shows that the state ment telezraphed frem New York of the defeat of Burnside at Thoroughfare Gap was without founda tion. REBELS ON THE LOWER.

ATTACK ON VICKSBURG ANTICIPATED CAIRO, May 6.—A gunboat, arrirqd from Pod river, brings information that finding it impossible to get the Eastport oil', and being attacked by the enemy while endeavoring to lighten her, she was destroyed by order of Admiral Porter, to prevent her falling into the hands of the enemy. The iron clads Fort Hindman and Toilet, and two transports, which were despatched to assist in relieving the East. Ott, were attacked while returning to Alexandria by the onemy,who lined the banks of the river on both sides, firing upon the boats from a twelve-pounder battery, making it necessary also to destroy the transports, which were burned. Several men of the crows of the iron-clads were killed and wounded. Among the killed was Syl vester Pool, of Newport, Ky., executive officer of the Eastport, who had charge of the sharpshooters on the Fort Hindman. He was struck on- the back of the head by a twelve pound ball. The latest advises from below report the appearance of the enemy on both banks of the Mississippi river.

The - Enlistment of Foreigners. • The Secretary of state has received a lettter from W. 31% B. .WEST, United States consul at . Dublin, dated April 20, in which he says : "So many false hoods and calumnies have been stated - in the public press as to the treatment of the famous one hundred and two men brought out by - Mr. Faaxr and Mr. Irnmen, of Boston, who were said to be forced into enliPtment by being starved and drugged, Sce., and this Government having directed their minister, Lewd LYONS, to get an explanation thereof from you, I have thought it advisable to send pin copies of two letters, from several written in a similar strain, to poor parents here, by 'the recipients of :Messrs.

One of the letters above referred to is dated Ga loup IPland_ Bacton,lllareh 2.3, 1864, in which the writer, addressing* his parents, says • " When we landed in Portland there was a great hubbub among the boys. There were gentlemen met us on the pier and gave us drinks, - cigars and food, and want ed us to enlist, There Were ;about five of them en listed, and the remainder came along with Feeny to Boston. I remained at Portland till next day. and could get work there at $2.23 per day if I liked to stop, but I was not in working trim, fur I did not eat three good meals of grul, during the time that I was coining across, so I - came to Boston the next day, and enlisted in the 3d Cavalry, which is sta tioned now in Now Orleans, or rather on the Ten sus, but it is in New Orleans where I will have to learn ioy drill. I g ot ,4,1403 dollars in hand, and I sent home :K25. The bounty I enlisted for was *627. I only got *4OO in hand ; the remainder I get in instalments every two months, along with. my- pay. "Everything is very dear here at present. Butter is 50 eente a pound ; sugar 17 cents a pound, and everything in proportion ; but still wages are good. No one need starve here. But don't -be laboring under the idea that men are very scarce here. It's no such thing. There are plenty of them. Dear pa rents, you would be surprised to see the men that are enlisting here. "The generality of them are dressed like gentle men, with watches in their pockets. It is a good -thing that you cannot be forced to do anything here, and as to forcing us to list, no one could do it, ex cept you were a citizen, and then you would he sub ject to the draft, and you must be three years in the country before that can be done. We would be very comfortable here, only there is no chance of drink on the Island. I have seen fellows give eight dol lars. for a quart of whisky. All the ftYllows are buy ing watches out of their bounty and limey shirts, but I bought nothing. I don't understand it. I might get shot, and some guerilla might have the Pleasure of turning me over, and if I - don't. why I shall have the pleasure of turning over slime of them. Contrary to what I WAS always led to be lieve. the men work twice as easy Imre than at home," Another recruit, writing to his " Dear Parents," from Ga limp Island, Boston Harbor, March 1748, says : " It took us fourteen days to come to Portland, and when we lauded there were hundreds of civilians there to meet us, and they gave us Lrandy, whiAk*., pies, puddings, segars, or anything we wished, for to enlist along with them. Faith, we took all we got, and did not go with them after all. Feony brought us over with the intention of making us drunk, and en listing-us after, but he was disappointed, fur any of us that did list was not with him. ' l ` aThe bounty was very tempting, and I enlisted the first day I came here. I have sent you in this letter *360. There is a good many of the batch enlisted, and it great many of them I lid not.

Th e pending Tnestion was on the amendment of Mr. Sumnee, to increase the tax on banks established 'under the eel, to be applied to!the payment of the interest and principal of the public debt. Mr. SHERRIAN said the amount of taxes imposed by the amendment of the Senator from Massachusetts was greater t that proposed by the Finance Com mittee: but as this WHO purel y a national tax, he should vote for it in order to avoid any embarrassment to the passage of the hill. Mr. SUMNER'S amendment was rejected—yeas ii, nays 24. The thirtieth section of the bill, in relation to the rate interest to be chatted by the batiks being und er Coil . klfEll.lll.llll moved an amendment, which makes the clause read as follows: " That every association may charge the rate allowed by the laws of the State or Territory where the bank is located, and no more, except that where by the Ia WS of any State a iii Renal rate is limited for banks of issue organized tinder State laws, the rates so limited sham he allowed for associations organized in any snub States under this act." The amendment was adopted. Mr, CHANDLER offered so amendment to the thirt fin't .'eCtiOnt Out the cities therein the West, and the East, as a vailatile places for the redemption of the circulating notes of associations under thi s act, retaining simply - New York, Philadelphia, and Boston, as the points of redemption, which, after debate, was adopled. The thirty-second section was then amentitai, tie to conform with the preceding - one, by l!roriding that in stead of redeeming their notes at par in said cities, cacti bank shall select an institution in either of the cities named, at which its circulation shalt be redeemed at a rate of discount not exceeding one-fourth of one per cent. I't HENPERSON moved to tuneful the f vrenl l —„ e , ond section by striking out tho limit of $300,00d.000 for cir culating notes under the act, and inserting the word:, :The al.llollllt 110 W authorized to be issued by tI yComp troller to bank. already created under the act. " . • Mr, DOOLITTLE raid that he desired to offer an amendment which would - restrain this over-ismte of paper money. The total amount of our circulation in paper and gold was already nearly $800,000,000, and now this bill pro posed to authorize the issue of three hundred millions more based on United States bonds. The It rot of all Coll :411ClItti011,i , 11011111 now be the stopping of the tanking of another paper dollar unless it was made to take the place of other paper money now in circulation. To au thorize the unlimited issue of this new national cur rency, while the Suite bank currency is still in circula tion, was preposterous. lle thought his amendment 'would servo Mr. liendorson's purpose. It provides that no bank shall issue any new noSes after the passage of the art, except National notes, te be redeemable in gold and silver coin on demand, and also that every bank shall reduce the amount of their circu lation to the amount of cash capital paid in. and.—tier cent: added thereto on the a thou at secured by pledge of United States or ;State stocks, on penalty of a tax of one per cent. per mouth on :ill excess of circulation. • Mr. IFENDERSON supported his amendment at don siderable length, contending it would have the effect to prevent the inflation of lager currency. He. -untended that it was not the State bnks hich cawed the preaent innatitn tof the currency, but the enormous amount of (foi - einment issue; and it was II 11.1114. because the State banks were at this moment unable to redeem their notes in gold On demand, that they should be driven from ex istence, and an issue of no better character substituted. Me cited the 'case of the Bank of Commerce of New York, which, now with nearly two million of coin in its va u lts, lts, has o clrZmlatiou of onlY seventeen hundred dollars, and yet under this hill, while - pretending to complain of inflation, she will be allowed and induced to issue over nine millions of dollars. The Senate then adjourned. 11011.1 SE OF REPIELESENTATIN.ESI Btairim Seat. Bfr. DAWES, of Massachusetts, from the Committee on Elections, reported two resolutions, which lie over for the present; one declaring that F. F. Blair is not, and the other that Mr: Knox. the contestant. is entitled to 0 seat as Representative from the First Congressional district ot' Missouri. On motion of Mr. FARNSWORTH,_of Illinois, it was resolved that when the House adjourn to-day, it ho till Monday. The Missouri -Elections, Mr. GANSON, of New York, called up the resolution of the Committee on Elections declaring that neither Mr. moan, the sitting member, nor Mr. Bruce, the contestant, is entitled to a seat as Representative of the Seventh Congressional District of Missouri. lira GANSON, of New York, in supporting the rcsoln- Oen, said that a majority of the committee had, after a review oral" the testimony, conic to the conclaSiOß that the interference of a portion of the armed militia in this district was to such an extent directed against the con testant as to render the election a nullity; and, there fore, they bad concluded to refer both . genii omen back to the people, in order that there may be a full and fair expression of their preferences. Mr. UI'SON, of Michigan, a member of the. Commit tee on Elections, made a speech sustaining the views of the minority, namely, that Mr. Loan is entitled to retain his seat. He maintained, from the testimony, that there was nothing to show that in the districts especially named, there was anything done to work prejudice to the contestant. Mr. SMITHEItS, of Delaware, of the minority of the Committee, argued, from the evidence, that with one or two exceptions, the election was conducted with fair ness, and that the inferior officers manifested no other desire than to secure a fair expression or num is will. He claimed that Loan wasiontitled to retain his seat. Mr. DAWES, of Massachusetts, spoke of the ditty of keeping treason away from the ballot box, as through this, owing to nue Peenliar inatitittiona, the Govern ment might be injured in its vital parts. The Executive should not only keep treason away, but give instruc tions against dictating and controlling more or less the result of any elections. The Mouse owed it to them selves to accept the eonditionof things as now exhibited to see that no parties come here unless with the free voice of the people, and to accept the fact as shown by the testimony that in Otis case. there has been no valid election. He could not see how any Massachnsetts man could reconcile it to his constituents to give a rote here in affirmation of the position occupied by the minority of the counnittee. Mr. ELIOT, of Massachusetts, - was at a less to know why his colleagne had directed this remark to him, -but he could say he had carefully read the testimony, and had come to the conclusion to vote for retaining the sit ting Melt - titer. - • - - Mr. DAVIS', of Maryland, wished to kribw what the judgment of the people of Massachusetts had to do - with the discussion of the question here. Mr. DANES, of Massachusetts, said he had. uttered no such sentiment. Mr. DAVIS, of Maryland, repeated, lie understood the F,cntleman as asking hew any Massachusetts man could justify- stmt. a vote after he reached home. Mr. DANES, of Massachusetts, could not understand why soldiers should control the polls when lie consi dered that in Massachusetts they were free, and town meetings were opened with prayer. He could not un derstand why men approached the ballot-box through files of bayonets or at their points; but lie could under stand how the gentlemen from Delaware and Maryland could take their views font a stand-point different froln his own. - Mr. DAVIS, of Maryland, asked for the evidence of such elections in those States. Mr. SMITHERS ' of. Delaware, said the gentle - man from Massachusetts had,. during his remarks, Minded td him in a znammr which he was sure the gentleman would, on reflection, feel sorry, and had alluded to the Delaware election in no complimentary terms. lie - wished to know whether the gentleman alluded to him Mr. DAWES replied,. with all frankness that the re lations between mut and the gentleman load always been friendly, and Should continue sneh. The gentle man had no right to take any remark he uttered in an offensive sense. Mr. SMITHERS. With that explanation I amperfectly satisfied. Mr. DARES, resuming, said he had alluded to Dela ware and Maryland without desi-miug any. offence. His friend front Maryland could not C!c, expected to see the same way as others on this question. Mr. SUMMERS, of Delaware, denied tayt he had im pu.med the voting in Massachusetts. Mr. WHALEY, of West Virginia, said the gentle man had opposed the admission to seats of members South, 111aon and Dixon line. Was that tic policy y if so, he had better join the gentlemen from Ohio and Maryland, namely, Lung aml Harris.. Did the gentle man want to have himself placed on the McClellan ticket for Vice President. - . . Mr. DAWES replied, if he could not succeed by more votes than the gentleman represented in the last Con gl'esg, it Nva. , not ch,drable to have him on ony ticket. As to being opposed to members being admitted from South of Mason and Dixon's line, he had only to say that he exerted his full power to have the two members from Louisiana admitted to the last Congress, and also the two members from Teune,,ee, because they were the free choice et' their rv,spective districts by a oullicient number of • Mr. WIIALEY, resurni DX, spoke of the loyalty of his mountain district, and pia there were four thousand soldiers from his district at Vicksburg and elsewhere who had not an opp9rtnnity TO vote for him. Were the volunteers of that district at home he believed he could get s. large a vote at the ,—entleama from o, Misaeliasetts, and not a musket should be used to influence the elec tion. lie (Mr_ Whaley) had a reputation for bravery, ha ving,, as a soldier, been in the wars. The gentleman from Mas,aehusette talents but no taste toe gun powder. [Lang:liter.] I am only a mountaineer. I have ito pretensions to talents. Ilan a soldier. [Laugh ter. The speech you have made will act likeasho wer bath OD the Border-State men. When Masachusetts men undertake to eXclUtle loyal Men front their meiltN it is time for the people to Luke the subject into serious eon,,ideratiou. The Contestants to Speak. The debate for the day here termivated. Al/ understanding was arrived at, by luta nimous con seat, that lire conieskani a.ml the sitting member should speak on the pending subject. BALDWIS, of Massachusetts, from the Commit tee on Printing, reported in favor of printing 40,0011 co pier: of the report and evidence concerning the F ort Pil -low massacre, which was agreed to. The Ileum: then ntljuurnetrtill blenday, IA r E 'ISSUE TO-DAY, in a supplement, the new Na tional Tax Bill, hi full, as it has passed the House. It is unlikely that it will receive any important amendment from the senate, and, therefore, will become a law in its present shape.

We allude to his splendid neiv 4, Reli ance" Refrigerator, the superiority of whieheonsists in its economical consumption of lee, and its un doubted excellence in preserving meats and other pro -visions the longest period of time at the least expomic. The principle upon which it is constructed will be readily understood and appreciated upon -examina tion. Besides, as Mr. Clark is one of the largest manufacturers of these articles in this country, he has facilities fur selling them far below the ordinary prices. "Go to headquarters to snake your pur chases," is a good rule. He Ants also a large stock of Porcelain-lined Water Coolers, whieli he is sell ing very low.

I am happy to add my testimony to the great value of the " London Hair Color Restorer," which restored my hair to its original dark color, and the hue appears to be Permanent. I am satisfied that the preparation is nothing like a dye, but operates. on ,the seerctionS. It is also a beautiful hair dressing, and promotes the growth. I purchased the first bottle from Edward B. Garrigues, Druggist, Tenth and Coates streets; Rho can also testify my hair was very gray whoa I . commenced its use. MRS. MILLER, No, 730 North Ninth &root, Phan.

HOYT'S HIAWATHA HAIR RESTORATIVE. HOYT'S HIAWATHA HAIR RESTORATIVE. In Longfellow's Poem Hiawatha was adjudged to haVe conferred the greatest boon on his tribe because he brought to its notice corn. Every one will admit that our preparation is worthy of its name, for the be nefits it confers when it is known. WHAT THE WIAWATHA DOES. It restores faded and gray hair and whiskers to their original color. It brings up the natural shading of one hair with another, thus giving the hair a perfect life appearance, so that the most critical observer cannot "detect its use. It makes harsh hair soft and silky, stops its falling out, cleanses it and the scalp from all impu rities, is as readily applied and wiped from the skin as any hair dressing, and entirely overcomes the bad ef fects of previous use of preparations containing sulphur, sugar of lead. &c. The proprietors of the Hiawatha published the fol lowing challenge to test in the New York dailies three weeks, which WAS NEVER ACCEPTED: Let some well known and disinterested persons ap point one to the proprietor of each preparation for the hair to bring up the color. Every proprietor to use nothing but his own preparation, and the person nothing also during the test.

Dr. CARDEN, for a Lecture delivered before them in the Kensington Presbyterian Church; and as there i 3 vote of censure against Rev. • Mr. JOHNSTON. Placing him in a wrong position, we therthre wish to n/ltea the matter iu its trite light: The lecture was - the Revolution is England. of 1688. denouncing James the Second and the intrigues of the, Papacy. • At the close of his lecture he turned the subject to Ira , land, and gave his advice to the A. P. A. to unite with the Roman Catholics to rid Ireland of the English Go vernment; to hoist the green flag of Ireland, and pull down the national flag of Great Britain. There were the sentiments which the Rev. Mr, :Mini- Frox took exceptions to, coil not to the patriotic seuti -Iments of the Lecture, at published in die card.
