Relations with England.
Suspicion being a very uncomfortable
guest, we cheerfully place reliance in the
declarations of the British Government
that it wants to maintain the most pacific
’ relations with the United States. Such
> Intolerants as Lords Dlkby and Lttsdbr
-may desire to fan the embers of' doubt
into the flame of hostility, but rational
men on both sides of the water act dif
ferently, and desire to maintain peace.
I'or example, Mr. Sbwabd, seeing, the
Canadian authorities in earnest in the
wish to prevent and punish all who
would assail this Union from British
territory, with threat or by hostile action,
has liberally removed the recent restriction
upon free intercourse between the United
States and the Canadian provinces, and
has suspended the passport system. What
Ae may do with respect to increasing our
.naval force on the lakes has not yet been
■announced.
Over forty years ago (actually in 1817),
an agreement was made establishing a
maritime neutralization on the great lakes
between the United States and Canada,
and it was found to work bo well that,
in 1866, its principle and details were
generally adopted in the agreement en
tered into with regard to the Black
Sea. The agreement bound the United
States not to maintain on the lakes more
■than a few war vessels— four, we believe—
each of not more than one hundred tons
burthen, and armed with only a single 18-
pound cannon. The British authorities
were bound by the same compact, and the
system has worked well, by “saving both
countries enormous expense, and by di
minishing the fear of sudden hostilities on
-the lakes. Notice of the American in
tention to set aside this arrangement,
was given in the required manner by
Mr. Sbwabd, when there appeared rea
-sonß for believing that the Canadian au
thorities favored, by sheltering and pro
tecting, the ruffians who, starting from
Canada, crossed over into American terri
tory, where they committed robbery and
murder, and, returning to their starting
point, endeavored to escape by declaring
that they merely waged war against Union
citizens under a commission from Jeffeb-
UOM Davis. The Canadian Government
has since behaved in such a straight-for
ward, just, and friendly manner, that all
suspicion of bad faith on their part ought
to be ended. No doubt Mr. Sbwabd will
act, under this improved aspect of affairs, in
a manner satisfactory to both countries—
Which, we sincerely believe, are not afflicted,
as two-penny scribes declare, with a fe
verish desire to light each other, in order
to pay off old scores of anger and hostility.
The Army and Navy Estimates for
3865-66, lately placed by the British Go
vernment before*the House of Commons,
exhibit such reductions as authorize the
belief that War is- the very last issue
which Lord Palmerston and his col
leagues wish to raise with this or any
other country.' The prospective expendi
ture for the army during the present year 1b
estimated at $63,825,085, wjipreas it was
•$67,598,330 last year, and the army itself
will stand at 142,477 men as against 146,766
last year. The Navy estimates for 1865-’66
are $50,764,525, and were $52,538,960 last
-year. Here, then, the military force will
be reduced by 4,289 men, and there is a
reduction, in the cost of the army and
navy, to the amount of. $6,147,630. This
is not a very great reduction, when we re
member that, only twenty-five years ago,
the army and navy of England cost only
$69,720,380 as against $113,989,560, in
the reduced expenditure for the present
year, but it may be taken with the fact
that, in the financial year, Sir George
lewis reduced the Army estimates by
$5,000,000, and that in 1864-’5, Earl Db
Gbet, the present War Minister, reduced
a further $1,000,000, notwithstanding the
outbreak of the New Zealand contest.
England, therefore, is entitled to the credit
of keeping up her naval and military es
tablishments rather for defence than for
aggression. Let the Derby party come
Into power (the next General Election,
now near at hand, may effect this),
and it is almost certain that their
earliest manoeuvre would be to find
cause for going to war with the United
States. We believe that Palmebston is a
■temporizer, and that Bussell shudders
bow at the idea <ff that Beform which made
him a noted public manin 1831-’2; but there
is the fact, also, that these Ministers are
decidedly opposed to engaging England in
a contest with the United States, and will
let us fight our own battles with Treason
and Bebellion, without let, hindrance, or
interference. Of, necessity, therefore, we
ought to hope that the Tories will not get
into power in England, seeing that the
Whigs, their opponents, are willing to act
the neutral part which is all that we re
quire.
European Politics.
The latest news from Europe is more
suggestive than important. There is a
political lull in England, Parliamentary
antagonists thinking it not advisable to get
up debates without purpose, 'ending in
divisions without results—the numerical
strength of parties being nearly equal at
present, and a General Election near.
There has been some bragging on the part
•of the ministry in the Bouse of Commons,
of the efficiency of the British navy, the
necessity of increasing it, and the pro
priety of augmenting the dock accommoda
tion. All this will cost money, and, to
Justify the expenditure, The Times has
been set on to alarm John Bull by a dark,
hint that the moment Rebellion is crushed
here, an early act of the re-United States
will he to declare war against England,
and to commence it “ for the satisfaction
of some old claims, vamped up for the
.purpose.” As far as our knowledge ex
tends, there are no “ old claims” on the
part of the United States against the
United There are claims, in
deed, arising out of the present war,
which, no doubt, England will be called
upon to liquidate. At the proper time
we may submit to the British Govern
ment a demand for injuries done to and
losses sustained by American commerce,
by the piratical depredations of English
•vessels, expressly built to prey upon our
commerce, fitted up and manned in
English ports, and English, to all intents
* and purposes, though committing their
-plunder under the “Confederate” flag,
-though none of them ever cast anchor in
•“ Confederate” waters. Thai claim will
probably be made, and it is neither “old”
nor “ vamped up.”
. From Fiance the news is pacific, to a
degree, Napoleon’s recent enunciation,
that “ peace will be the policy of the
future,” being emphatically endorsed by
his Senate, Education is to be extended
and made - compulsory. There was no
echo in Paris to the hint in the London
newspapers, that there ought to he an
international celebration or jubilee, to
commemorate the fact tfiat England and
\ Prance have been at peace for fifty
years. "We find conflicting statements as
to the policy of France in Mexico. One
Journal declares that Napoleon was firmly
resolved to maintain the Empire of Mexico
-and the honor of the French flag, and te
, send five thousand additional troops to
; Maximilian. But, on the other hand, it
is stated that Napoleon will -Withdraw all
the French troops and leave Maximilian
to his own resources. Considering what a
•determined stand Maximilian has taken
against the great Church party in Mexico,
more powerful than the throne itself, his
prospects of consolidated and continuous
ruie there must be rated as very small
indeed. . ~ » -
The differences between Austria and
Prussia, about the Danish Duchies, are in
creasing. Instead- of delivering these du
chies to the Prinee of Augnstenberg, for
whom they werq forcibly wrested from the
King of Denmark, Prussia prefers holding
them, under a self-established protectorate,
with the design, it is believed, of eventual
ly incorporating them with her own terri
tory, and this, Austria thinks, would be
impolitic, as it would augment a Power
which, by successive encroachments, has
become almost of first importance in Ger
many. -
Interaal Taxation.
Having condemned the costliness of col
lecting the Internal Revenue, and lamented
that, owing to the precipitate haste with
which such taxes were almost necessarily
imposed, the machinery for such collection
was cumbrous and costly, we were pre
pared to find objections on the part of in
terested persons to our facts and argu
ment. One highly respectable official told
us, point blank, that the cost of collecting
three million dollars in this city was only
on|and one-fourth per cent., and that the
profits of selling stamps ought not to be
counted as part of a collector’s extra in
come, because any one could sell them,
though he omitted to say that the great
sale js. at the collector’s counter, held by
the public to be the official stand.
We have been gravely charged by a vo
lunteer champion of the costly and cum
brous system, with being among “those
who seek to make as unpopular as possible
those measures which, though they are
indispensable for the conduct of the war
and the safety of the land, are nevertheless
onerous,” and to this -false imputation
was appended a declaration that : the cost
of assessment and collection -averaged two
per cent.
In this, the writer said more than his
clientage required. They take their own
per centage as the cost of collecting, but to
this Bhould be added the cost of assessment
and all other charges and deductions up to
the time that the revenue is safely lodged in
the public treasury, to be disbursed “ for the
conduct of the war' and the safety of the
land”-—and among the costs, to be debited
to the collection, are the increased expenses
in the Treasury Department in Washing
ton. We said, and repeat, that all charges
must swell up the average cost of collection
to an average twice as much as it ought to
be—double what it is in England.
The grave authority already referred to
declares, on one day, that the cost of col
lecting the revenue in England is “one
fifteenth of the entire amount.” One-fif
teenth of £lOO is exactly £6 139. 4d., or six
and two-thirds per cent. But, the same au
thority, three days later, sets the cost of
collecting the British revenue at “ about
eleven per cent., against a general similar
cost to us of two,” confidently adding that
“ our collections are nine per cent, less ex
pensive, to the nation than those of Eng
land.” On one day the English cost is
set down as 6f per cent., and on another at
11 per cent, our own. being stated as only
2 per cent, all three statements being erro
neous. The astute person who made them,
when told that his figures are all wrong, will
probably reply, “ So much the Worse for
the figures.’? - -
No occasion for us to say, we hope, that
we have discussed the. subject of taxation
simply because a bad and crude system
was adopted at first, and as the taxes must
be paid long after the Union is restored,
that system should be improved. The tax
payers at large desire, equally with our
selves, to have as little as possible sliced off
the revenue necessary to maintain the war,
restore the Union, and keep faith with the
public creditor.
The Italian Opera.
Mr. Grover has taken away the sautr
kraut and Mr. Ford brings us maccarom.
The German singers have gone to Wash
ington, and, although nobody remains in
that dismal city but clerks of the Treasury
Department and citizens of Ohio in search
of office, we are told that immense audi
ences are in attendance every evening.
The Germans seem to have had a more
successful time of it-$t the national capital,
so far as the health of the members is
concerned. Eokmes is perfectly well,
Himmer has not had a renewal of the
typhoid fever, and we have not heard that
Habelmann .has even lost his heart. Phi
ladelphia is generally a respectably healthy
city, but the German singers did not
find it so, and in welcoming Mr.
Fobd and his maccaroni-gentlemen we'
trust they will be more . fortunate.
There is something dreadful about an
opera-singer becoming sick* -How can
we associate carminatives and ‘-‘ Martha ?”
—or sedatives and “ Trovatore ?” There
is only one medical opera that we remem
ber— 1 ‘ Faust’ ’7-and in that legend the
doctor meets with what we venture to hope
is an unprofessional fate. “Faust” is be
coming something of a sedative, and
Mr. Fobd escapes it. This is a bles
sing, for we are becoming “ used up,”
and want novelty. The main feature
of the Italian entertainment is Yebdi’s
opera of “LaForza del Destino.” It has
made a sensation in New York, and is-re
gardea as one of Vbbdi’s best productions.
In connection with this we are to have
“ Fra Diavolo,” with the charming Miss
Kellogg. .Now, we accept Miss Kellogg
to our most sincere admiration. In
the first place she is.a delightful singer,
and in thie second place she has a
rare old Saxon name, which we can
boldly pronounce. We American
art, and have never believed that a genius
for music \s indigenous to the land of macca
roni. So let us give Mr. Fobd and his
singers a royal welcome, and see whether
we cannot make the Italian opera a success
that will even surpass that of Louis Napo-
leon Groymr. They -will only remain
two nights. Two nights of Italian music
is little enough, in its way. So let us be
thankful, and all go and obtain secured
seats.
The Pennsylvania State Legisla
ture should not adjourn before enacting a
law to prevent the heartless and cold-bldod
ed outrages upon the colored ’soldiers by
the subordinates of some of our city rail
roads. It is a shame and a crime that men
who peril their lives for the Republic should
be insulted under the rules of some of these
companies while on the way to their head
quarters. Bigots and partisans may wreak
their hate upon the poor colored women
and children, and upon men who are not
in the service of the country, but it is quite
a different thing when people who care
nothing for the struggle in which we are
engaged, and who, while realizing fortunes
out of profitable enterprises, use their power
to insult brave men who are ready to offer
their lives for the old flag. The Legisla
ture' should take this subject up at once.
The case stated by the Rev. R. J. Pabvin,
the highly-esteemed rector at Chestnut HUI,
published in The, Press of yesterday, is
sufficient evidence to induce the passage of
a law such as we refer to.

WARH7KGTON, March 22.-—The Republican Extra,
says the Government has received Intelligence that
on Sunday last General Sherman’s army entered

The £two armies of Sherman and Schofield have

Tho Republican Extra farther says: “Sherman’s

ABRIVAI. OF BSFSSBBS ITEOM MORKHKAD CITY— ■
SCHOFIELD’S SOVSXBKTS —GOOD SBWS BT-
Fobtbbss Monbob, March 21- —The steamer
Ajax, Captain Godfrey, arrived here to-day from
Morehead City, N. 0., with three hundred North,
Carolina refugees and about one hundred dis
charged soldiers, en route North. The Ajax left
Morehead City, N. C.', yesterday afternoon at two
o’clock, and brings nothing later of a definite
character respecting General Schofield’s move
ments, who was known to have moved ont from
Kinston, N. 0., but in which direction was un
known. Just as the Ajax was steaming out to sea
from the harbor all the flags of the different men-of
war and other vessels lying there were hoisted in
the rigging, apparently as If some good news had
been received.
The refugees brought by this steamer are in the
most destitute condition, and come principally from
Kinston and Its immediate vicinity. Comprising
the number there aro about sixty women with their
helpless children, while the male portion of them
are sick and enfeebled.
BKPOBTKD BVAOUATION OF BALEtGK. ,
Newbbbn, March 18.—Large numbers of de
setters came Into onr lines this afternoon. They
say the enemy have evacuated both Goldsboro and
Raleigh, and have fallen back to Hillsborough With
a view, they think, of joining Lee. They report the
enemy inuoh demoralised and panic-stricken, and
improving every opportunity presented to desert j
that the rebel soldiers agree with the oltlaens
generally In the belief that there is no
chance for the Confederacy to succeed, and
that they an fighting against hope; that the rebel
(Ulcersare giving their opinions openly to the same
effect, and in many Cases they abandon the field
with their men, and that these desertions are In
such formidable bodies and so open' and frequent
that the enemy an powerless to oppose this state
pi things, which threatens to result in a general
stampede of their entire army, so completely dis
couraged an the officers and men.
They also report that Sherman will occupy Golds
boro to-morrow; that hts army is In high spirits,
well fed,)and drlveatfte enemyln oonfuslon at every
point; Such are reports brought in
this afternoon and evening by thole refngeOS, and
they an generally credited here.
The enemy, after burning their ram, abandoned
Kinston in great haste, throwing all their heavy
guns into the Neuse river. They attempted to
blow up their magazine, whloh contained several
tons of powder, but failed. It fell Into our hands,
together with a large amount of ordnance and com
missary stores. Our forces now dooupy Kinston,
which was surrendered to them by the mayor of the
olty.
Deserters who came in from the enemy say that
the rebel General Hoke was kllled'ln the battle:of
Ftfday week this side of Kinston. It la
that Bragg had 40,0C0 men with'him when he at
tempted to\,destroy the column that moved from
here. Bragg and Hoke gave their men the'most
solemn assurance that they would march triumph
antly Into Newbern last Sunday morning, that
each man should realize a fortune from the proceeds
of the victory, and that Sherman would then bs an
nihilated, and the Confederacy established beyond
a doubt. ~
The loss of Friday’s battle, which was an Impor
tant one, and which decided the fate of Newbern,
was the irresistible ruin of thejSenemy’s plans
against Sherman. The manner In whloh our men
snooesslhllyrresletedfrom behind their works the
eight repeated assaults of the enemy, who at that
time greatly outnumbered us, not only astonished
our own officers; but elicited a high tribute to their
courage from General Bragg.
This battle made It very apparent that Bragg’s
men could not be Induced to make another stand.
Supplies are now being forwarded up the Neuse
river to Schofield's and Sherman’sjarmles.. Tifelr
armies will doubtless be unlted'to morrow or next
day.

Capture of Neff iferis’ “Arab Steed.”
Washington, Maroh 22.—The Richmond Senti
nel of this morning says there Is no official lnforma,
tlon of the repulse of Sherman, hut gives credence
to It. Senator Hunter Is out in a oard, In the Rich
mond papers, denying that he .Is In favor of recon
struction. He advises the people of the South, to
fight as long as their President “ Jeff" and their
General “ Lee" think there Is any hope of suoceßS.
The Dispatch announces the arrival Point
of a large fleet of gunboats and transports, and says
the Yankees have erected saw mills and machine
shops of all descriptions, and madea manufacturing
elty of It.
The Richmond papers say that the Arabian horse
presented, to. Jeff Davis by the Viceroy of Egypt
and brought over by a blockade-runner, and which
was sent into the Interior of North Carolina for safe
keeping, has been oaptnred by Sherman’s scoutsi
who announced their Intention of sending ft to
President Lincoln.
The Richmond Dispatch, of Monday, quotes from
the Raleigh Progress that there are rumors that one
of Sherman’s Columns is moving In the direction of
Hillsboro, to out the railroad communication be
tween Greensboro and Raleigh.
The Sentinel says $20,000 in Confederate money,
and several watchesjand other trinkets, were found
upon the body of one of Sheridan’s raiders, who was
killed In the skirmish near Ashland.
1 The Raleigh Confederate of the 18th soys: “ The
best Impression to day Is that Sherman Is trying to
find Terry and Sohofield and get to them. Raleigh
does not seem to be In his path just now. Our
cavalry had a brush with aportlon of the enemy’s
Infantry on the day before yesterday, at a certain
place, and drove them four miles. Raleigh Is not
yet esptured or about to be.”
The Progress of the same date contains the fol
lowing : “Our readers must be as patient as they,
can. It may be that the career of Sherman will
he put a stop to. We violate no seoresy by saying
he will be confronted by a formidable force, com
manded by able and experienced officers. We have
accounts of a handsome Uttle brush whloh Gene
rals Hampton and Hardee had with the enemy’s
cavalry in the oonrse of last week. He and Hardee
are said to have charged 200 of Kilpatrick’s men
with only their body guard, and to have killed and
captured several. The rest were driven ont of the
town. General Hampton slew two of the Invaders
with Ms own hands.” ■
“On Friday morning last the James river com
menced rising, and yesterday had attained a height
seldom surpassed by the freshets of that stream. A
large portion ol Rocketts, the Fall plantation oppo
site, and many cellars In the elty, between Fifteenth
and Seventeenth streets, are Inundated. A steam
boat wait yesterday lying at Maya’s Bridge. The
effect of this great flood will be the suspension of
the water*works, and to throw the people of the city
once more on their reserved rights—the pumps,
wells, and springs—for several days, and It l« feared
will delay repairs'on the canal, if It does net add to

has received the particulars of a recant expedition
to St. Marts, Florida. The troops were under the
command of Gen, Newton, and the vessels, fifteen
in number, under the command of Commander
Shnfeld t. The vessels could not all asoond the river,
and several ran aground, None of them could be
brought near enough to attack the fort. ' The troops
had commenced their march' Into the Interior, to
near Tallahassee, but Commander ShnCeldtdeemlng
it, under the circumstances, useless to attempt to
ascend higher, Lieutenant Commander Gibson Was
ordered to send a part; on shore to hold the bridge,
and alter the army, on Its return, had orossed,the
bridge was burned, and the squadron were ordered
to drop back to an anchorage off the tight-houss,
General Newton stated to Commander Shufeldt
that he had accomplished all that he contem
plate.
Acting Bear Admiral Strlbllng says there Is no
doubt that preparations had been made by staking
out the channel, removing .the obstructions, and
garrisoning the fort, to make St Marks, in some
sort, a compensation for the loss of Wilmington.
Commander Shufeldt states that the navy now
has possession of the mouth of the river. Hesays:
“ This is the only point whloh Is of any nayal im
portance whatever, and I consider the object, so far
as we are concerned, fully gained, thus effectually,
closing the river so long as we keep an adequate
force there.”

THE. CAPTURES MADBBY GENERAL fftbMAs’
MBjor General Thomas, in his official report of
the operations-of his army from the Ttn
ber, 1864, to January 20th, 1866, says: “ There were
eaptnred from the enemy during the various, notions
13.169 prisoners of war, Including seven -general
officers, and nearly, 1,000 other officers of small
grades; 72 pieoeg of serviceable artillery, and a
number of battle-flags. During the same-period
over 2,000 deserters trom the enemy were.xeceivea,
and to whom the oath was administered. -Oar own
losses will not exceed 10,000 in killed,,wounged; and
missing. The larger number of ammunltlou chests
captured were filled with ammunition in good con
dition, and six wagons loaded with similar ammuni
tion were eaptnred before Nashville.” Other im
portant captures axe mentioned.
Major Gen. Thomas, in his official report of his,
autumn and winter campaigns, says: {'To 001.
Palmes and his command is accorded thf credit ol
giving Hood’s army the last blow of the eapspalgn
at a distance of over 200 miles from when we first
struck the enemy, on the 15th of December, near

Private Tefterangscelved here from Paris state
that there Is a great change In public sentiment

o’clock, to devise measures for carrying its laudable
purpose into effect.
SilAtdt ALSXAEMI HBKBYt
Mayor of Philadelphia.
To his Honor Alexander Henry , Mayor of the City of
Philadelphia:
The largely increasing number of those who have
heretofore borne arcs against the United States, but
who are beginning to see, their mistake, and seek escape
from the Bebel lines to the protection of our Flag,
for some immediate action of our citizens.
To receive thote who voluntarily accept the Snyita-
Hon of our Government, and yield to its authority, to
welcome them and provide lor them food and employ*
be i. a dlltT required by every dictate of
humanity and policy.
Much has 4 already been done by philanthropic Insti
tution eiaad individuals for these men. To the officers
of. the Union Volunteer Refreshment Saloon, they have
been especially indebted for aid in every form. But
their numbers are now in creating so rapidly that some
organised system Yor their relief has become necessary.
Lerit be known that they will be welcomed, cared for.
and honorably employed, and thousands who are now
hesitating will hasten to come within our lines.
JOse demand for labor at the ttorth is almost unlimit
u °, nce *? «ceWed at some central
office, at d distributed to points where they will flnd
employment a and when they see the prosperity which
attends loyalty, and arc put themselves in the paths of
thrift and comfort, the last spark of confidence in their
lafolsaders will disappear, an* they will gladly return
to their allegiance, and willingly live under our Flag.
A call for a meeting of citizens, to consider this im
portant subject and to take measures to carry these
Tie , w ? to execution, will come, we think, with great
weight from you.
Will yon have the kindness to call rack a meeting at
* Hme and place which you may thick beat 1
