PHILADELPHIA, Way 28 /10 . 11: - Thomas A. Scott, Assistant Secretary of War, arrived in Philadelphia, yesterday morn ing, direct from Halleck's army before Corinth, Mississippi, having left there on Friday, May 22d. Our army is represented as being in ex cellent condition, occupying a strong position and ready for the great struggle at any moment that the enemy may see proper to make an at tack. The battle may be expected to take place within the next ten days, with.pvery rea sonable assurance of success to our arms. Mr. Scott has been unanimously re-elected vice president of the Pennsylvania railroad and will soon enter upon the management of the road, the president, Edgar Thompson being about to depart for Europe. In debate in councils on the defence of the city, etc., Hon. Samuel M. Felton, president of the Philadelphia, Wilmington and Baltimore railroad, was given credit fok his patriotic efforts at the commencement of the rebellion in hast ening troops to Washington, having taken the responsibility to furnish soldiers with rations and providing extraordinary means for forward ing them. It is estimated that $25,000 has been expended by him for this purpose, and ac cording to General Butler, had it not been for Mr. Felton, his forces would not have got to the teat of war in time to render the efficient service they did. From Washington. The Secretary of the Navy and the Stevens' Battery. IVesauvatort, May 28 The Secretary of the Navy has furnished Congress with the result of the examination made by a special board of the Stevens' battery, as an efficient means of coast defence. They think that for this purpose it will require es sential modifications, owing to the want of improvement in naval warfare. As the Secre tary believes that it was intended by Congress to apply the nearly eight hundred thousand dollars heretofore appropriated upon the battery according to the mend plan, should it have been approved, he does nut feel authorized to expend the money to carry out the suggestions of the board. Gen. Siegel visited the Capitol to-day, and was warmly welcomed by the members or Con gress. FROM NEW Nl 7 OO. KLases Orrr, May 27. The Santa Fe mail has arrived but brings no news whatever. XXXVIIth Oongress—First Session SENATE WASHINGTON, May 28. Messrs. Poxsaor, FOSTIE and others spoke in favor of the amendments. After further discussion the amendment was rejected. ries—Messrs. Harris, Pomeroy, Wilmot, Wilson, (Mass.,)-5. NAYS-32. On motion of Mr. CHANDLBA the Senate went into executive session. After a few moments spent therein, the doors were opened and the Senate resumed the consideration of the tax bill. Mr. Stun m offered an:amendment as a new section, that any person who shall claim the service or labor for life of any person, under the laws of any State shall be taxed on account or each person so claimed, the snm of ten dol lars. He contended that such a tax could be laid without in any way recognising the offen sive doctrine that slaves were property. It was simply tax on persons. Mr. Smixasea believed that slaves were per sons and were entitled to the rights of persons and as such they could not be taxed in this way, and certainly the Senator from Massachusetts would not propose to tax them as property, be sides, if he undertook to collect such a tax, it would only fall on the loyal men of the border States and be looked upon as an indirect attempt at emancipation. He was willing to meet the question of emancipa tion openly when the time comes, and ii he be lieved the union could not be preserved with out emancipation, he would support the Presi dent in emancipation. The only'practical way to tax a large portion of the south was to tax cotton. On the suggestion of several Senators, Mr. Swum modified the amendment so as to be in language. An amendment was offered by Senator B. L Siatiacess, that an annual tax of five dollars should be paid by every person or persons, corporation or society, for and on account of every other person, between ages of ten and sixty-five years, whose service labor for the term of years or life is claimed to be owned by such first mentioned person or persons, corporations or society, whether in judiciary capacity or otherwise, un der the laws or customs of any State, and said said annual tax shall be levied and collected of the person, persona, corporation or society, making such claims, and of their goods, chat tels and lands, but in no case shall the per son or persons whose service or labor so claim ed, or their service or labor, be sold for the purpose of collecting said tax. It further pro vides that this tax shall not apply to service due to parents. Mr. SILERK&N offered an amendment to Mr. Smarm's amendment. The proposition is to tax one cent per pound on cotton. Mr. KING was in favor of tax on both cotton and slaves, and should vote for both if he could ; and therefore hoped that the tax on cotton would not be pressed as a substitute for the tax on slaves. After a lengthy debate, Mr. Sherman's amendment was rejected—yeas 15, nays 22. Mr. Hserosasow offered en amendment that PRICE ONE CENT. the tax herein furnished shall not be levied or collected in any State where the system of gradual emancipation may have been adopted at the time of collection. Mr. Fitssicumm said 'that according to the Constitution the Ma must be equal in alt the States. Pending the question, adjourned Official Reports from the Colonels of Pennsylvania Regiments in the Field. HEADQueaTeats 110ra REGIMENT, P. V. &lUD'S DIVISION, Winchester, Va., March 27th, 1862.

The brigade was ordered to the rear and to the left flank of the enemy, sad were marched "close column by division" into And under cover of a thick woods, when a dead ly fire was immediately poured in upon them, which, for the moment, staggered our troops. They soon recovered, and my command, with the rest of the brigade advanced to the out skirts of the woods and returned the fire with great spirit. Subsequently, finding that the enemy held a strong position behind a stone fence across a ravine directly opposite our centre and were humming us with their fire, I ordered a charge of my command at "double quick" upon that point, which was quite successful Tee enemy were completely routed on their fianu and driven from their position behind the fence. In this charge the command suffered severely from the fire of the enemy. The regiment was rallied after the action in good order, and we bivouacked fur the night with the brigade on the field adjoining the battle field.

The men were ordered to lie down during the rapid and heavy artillery fire, and remained thus until Lieut. Mitchell, of the brigade staff, informed me that the enemy had moved in force from the woods on our right, which their severe fire confirmed. I at once formed my line, and seeing the battery re tiring, and also the 6th Maine and the other regiments on my right returning to their ori ginal line on the flanks of the fort. I faced by the rear rank, and marched at the parade step, to the "slashings" along this line, then faced to the front and commenced firing on the ens• my, who was rapidly and boldly advancing, and were then in good rifle range. I ordered my right wing to fire obliquely to the right and their close and steady volley struck with terrible effect on the enemy, and when they came within easy distance the whole line opened upon them by file. When General Hancock ordered the line forward to charge the enemy, who were rushing upon ne, my regiment, loud ly cheering, moved rapidly and steadily to th• front, with their colors advanced and their line accurate.

DeWitt and Neice,) as skirmlatiers, and covered the left of thh line and held the woods until the enemy retreated. 4 As far as possible, all random and desultory firing was prevented. My men were ordered to fire low and select their mark, and they obeyed. It would seem impossible for any more trying circumstances to surround a regi ment, than those which, in common with the other regiments of the brigade, pressed on my men. They wore weary ,; bad lost seep ; made a forced march over bad roads In wretched wea ther, and were, for the first time, confrofiting their enemy in line of battle. The admirable discipline of the brigade gave the men the coolness of veterans. lily guides were thrown on the line and it was formed under fire, as if on parade. It would be invidious for me to name, as worthy of praise, any of my officers, when all alike deserve it. But I cannot omit to state how well I was supported by Lieut. Col. Brie bine, Major Ruling and my Adjutant, Lieut. E. D. Smith, and that my Assistant Surgeon Huber was present during the action, at his post near the regiment, promptly attended to our wounded, and then repaired to the general hospital and gave most efficient aid. , The Surgeon, Dr. Gobrecht, was absent by order on detached duty at brigade hospital.
