contending from the ainOnt on hand`that the
government would receive no revenue there
from ' , during the present year. The holders
themselves would be only - benefitted.
Mr. Cox moved to strike out the tax on tea,
fifteen cents, and on coffee five cents per pound.

crisis,_demand .the repeal of its duties on iron
from a needle to a locomotive, including a tax
for thirty-one to ninety per cent. on wood
screws,..which gentleman will remember well
are tributes:levied on agriculture and labor by
capital. Sucl&taxes will alienate the west, even
as it has the south. He was opposed to
this specific mode of taxation. The poor
man who buys Rio coffee at fifteen cents
will pay the tax of five cents, while the rich
man pays no more tax on his coffee at thirty
cents. So with tea ; it ranges from twenty
cents to one dollar in price, and the rich and
poor pay the, same. The poor man who buys
his cheap tea, pays as much tax by this bill as
the rich man who buys his dear tea. He would
not add to our burden by such taxes, until
equality of taxation was secured by a repeal of
the infamous Morrill tariff.
MT. MORRILL (Vt.) said he would vote for the
bill, although it did not meet his cordial
support.
Mr. CONICLUM submitted some interesting
statistics relative to tea, sugar and coffee.
, Messrs. Waroirr, CURTIS and FOUIZE address
ed the committee on the amendments.
Mr. Burtwr (Ky.) expressed astonishment
that the gentlemen who voted for every mea
sure of the administration involving the ex
penditure of hundreds should now shed crocho
dile tears because men who are fighting the
battles of their country are to be taxed on tea
and coffee and sugar. This was a logical se
quence of the acts of this Congress. Gentl
emen who are willing to bankrupt the treasury
ought to be willing to foot the bills.
Mr. Srr.vmrs, (Pa.) after remarking that the
House was running into buncome, moved that
the Committee rise, in order to terminate the
debate. In half a minute this was agreed to.
Mr. PENDLETON, (0.) offered an amendment
to reduce the duty on iron, but it was rejected.
Mr. WARD, (N. Y.) ineffectually endeavored
to amend that the bill should take effect from/
the Ist of September, instead of immediately,
but without concluding action on the bill the
Committee rose.
Mr. VALLANDIGLIAId (0.) gave notice of a bill
to regulate and enforce the writ of habeas cor
pus, to enforce the rights of the people to be
secure from, unreasonable searches and seizures,
to secure to the people the right to keep and
bear arms for their defence, to prescribe the
manner of quartering the soldiers in private
houses in time of war, and to secure the free
dont of speech and of the press.

troops has more than 26,000 regulars. He prob
ably moved up by way of Little river turnpike
yesterday afternoon to a point within five miles
of the Court - house, if not nearer. A position
of the troops forming his column was two hours
in passing Bally's cross roads yesterday after-
Anon to the intersection of the Columbia with
the Little river turnpike.
Col. Heintzleman commands the column on
the extreme left. This is composed of the New
York Fire Zouaves, the Michigan and other
very fine troopS, including United States cav
alry and light artillery. Its route is via the
Orange and Alexandria Railroad and the coun
try road in that vicinity. A portion of it
doubtless rested at Springfield station last night.
Fella. Church was also occupied last night by a
portion of Gen. Tyler's rear.
There must be at least 50,000 troops actually
on the march under Gen. McDowell, exclusive
of his reserve still resting in and around his
late eneampment. _
From nightfall last night the city was full of
rumors that Gen. Beauregard had abandoned
Fairfax Court House without firing a gun, but
no such information of a reliable character had
reached the War Department up to 11 o'clock,
A. Id., to-day . though that course on his part is
not unlooked for.
The division of Col. Hunter proceeded, doubt
,
by the Georgetown and Leesburg turnpike
`via :Langley. to the neighborhood of Vienna,
and there formed a junction with Gen Tyler
this Morning. The march of this grand column
of some 25,Q00 men started before daybreak
this aiorning. - -

PROSPECT OF A BATTLE
Three Months' Volunteers Anxious for a
Fight.
The Chambersburg Repository and transcript,
received to-day, contains the following account
of the march of our troops from Martinsburg,
their rout of the rebels at Bunker Hill, and pur
suit of the retreating enemy toward Winchester.
It is generally supposed that Gen. Patterson
reached Winchester last evening, and that Gen.
Johnsou,fearing to make a stand, retreated in the
direction of Strawsburg, with a view of taking
a position commanding the railroad and moun
tain pass to Manasses Junction. If so, in the
meantime General McClellan's victorious army
will have cleared Western Virginia of the rebel
bands, whose remnants retreating through the
mountains will join Johnson. In that event
McClellan, striking boldly through the moues
tains, could take position at Staunton so as to
threaten at the same time the rear of Johnson's
army, the pass at Manassas Gap, and the safety
of Richmond. The following is the article from
the Chambersburg paper above referred to :
on Monday morning last General Patterson's
column took its departure from Martinsburg.
The troops commenced moving about three
o'clock in the morning, and by nine o'clock the
last of the column was on the march. There
was only one regiment remaining in Martins
burg. When the head of the column reached
Bunker Hill it was attacked by the secession
ists and a pretty sharp skirmish took place.
Doubleday's battery fired a few shots into them
when they, as usual, retreated in the direction
of Winchester. Gen. Patterson encamped for
the night at Bunker Hill and had his head
quarters near the run, at that place. He
will move on in the morning and expects
to fight his way through to Winchester
before sun-down. During the skirmish at
Bunker Hill, we learn that a number of horses
were killed, but cannot ascertain.anr. further
' u s conin thewillies of the en
gagement, di •er an a ntritharfor
treated. Gen. Patterson has a fighting force
under him of about 35,000 men and will
receive additional reinforcements on the
march. Before leaving Martinsburb, he
was joined by an Indiana Regiment
that marched down the national turnpike
to Williamsport. A regiment from
Wisconsin also passed over the Franklin
Railroad on yesterday (Tuesday) morning to
join Patterson. It is, we believe, the intention
to unite with M'Clellan's forces as soon as they
reach Winchester, and then push on to-Manas
sas Junction. Under the present aspect of af
fairs we need not look this week for the return
of the three months volunteers. There is
now a prospect of some fighting, and they are
all anxious to see a battle, and will remain, of
their own accord, for the glory of prrticipating
in a fight. When the order was given on Sun
day night to pack up and be ready to march,
the three months volunteers were under the
impression that it was "homeward bound,"
and did not know the contrary until ordered to
head in the direction of Winchester. Though
anxious to return to their homes they were all
agreeably disappointed, and marched off in fine
spirits.
The confederate army under Gen. Johnston,
so far as we are able to find out from estimates
made by the rebels themselves, numbers about
26,000. After the retreat from Harper's Ferry
Gen. Beauregard sent Johnston about 10,000
reinforcements. Notwithstanding this large
army he will not likely attack Patterson's col
umn while there is danger of being flanked by
McClellan. It is now confidently stated, by
those who pretend to know, that there will be
no fight at Winchester.
SO umERN NEWS VIA LOUISVILLE.
LOUISVILLE, July 17
This city was threatened with a disturbance
last night in the vicinity of the Louisville and
Nashville Railroad depot, in consequence of the
seizure of a rebel trunk filled with Hardee's
Tactics. It was, however, quelled by the pres
ence of armed men, who volunteered to assist
the Surveyor of the Port.
Two captains of the Kentucky Brigade have
had a difficulty in consequence of men leaving
one company to join that of the other. Capt.
Traber shot Captain Thompson, and the former
was arrested and taken to the Indiana peniten
tiary, at Jeffersonville.
The Galveston Civilian says that the blockade
of that port was made complete by the arrival
of the steamer South Carolina, which had cap
tured five rebels.
A special despatch from Fairfax - , Va, to the
New Orleans Picayune, says that the South
Carolina and Virginia detachments mantle a fatal
mistake on the 4th of July, in firing upon each
other. Two Virginians were killed and one
wounded.
The Augusta Constitution says that Governor
Morehead asserts there that there was an over
whelming majority of the people of Kentucky
in favor of secession, but that local influence
and a deficiency of arms place the State under
temporary restraint.
Large numbers of the Kentucky volunteers
who went to Camp Boone, near the northern
line of Tennessee, are daily returning, disgust
ed with the fare and treatment. They say they
want to hear no more about Jefferson Davis or
the Southern Cotafederay.
