The Tax Bill.
'Afir a political ex istence of more than
. . S C . I
seventy yearn, we are ior m nrsi iim unv
en into a system of internal taxation as a
permanent policy or measure a system
w hich will connect nearly every act or en
joyment with a contribution into the Na
tional Treasury. We hare left behind, and
perhaps, forever, the golden era in onr his
tory which bnt for the experience we have
famished, woold in after ages have been
regarded as one of those fictions thai set off
the excellencies and immunities of that
primitive epoch which every nation pic
tores to itself as realizing its highest con
ception of the social condition. Our Gov
ernment was inexpensive, so long as no
one attempted its overthrow. Bat the spirit
of discoid that has been let loose has in
stantly brought onr expenses op to those of
a first claca Power. We are called upon,
ia a day, to provide a revenue which, with
other nations, has been the work of gener
ations, if not of centuries.
The principles npon which taxes should
be levied are always the same, and cannot
be too often iterate J, now that we are en
Bering upon the practice. We very proba
bly lax luxuries because, as men can fora-
go these without injury to themselves, or
the public, the iaxworks no inconvenience
or harm. It may be the instrument of good
We tax incomes, because incomes alone
can afford to pay. We shonld not tax the
means for the extension or transmission of
intelligence, as all wea'th, and progress,
and society itself, is based open it. We
should not tax locomotion, as social inter
course between people composing a nation
is essential to domestic harmony. Where
such intercourse cannot be had. Govern
ment must be a military despotism.
The greater part of the subjects presett
ed for taxation in the bill reported are of
course very proper; but it strikes us that
several of them are palpable violations of
the principles laid down. The idea of tax
ing travel is a new one in history. Loco
motion ought to be encouraged in every
possible way, instead of being suppressed.
There is no experience so valuable, nor en
joyment so keen, as that afforded by it.
The nations of the Old World, vho make
the welfare of their subjects a special study
compel public carriers to establish rates for
the poorer classes at one third the price
paid by the wealthy". The most gratifying
results have foil wed, as beneficial to the
railroad companies as to the people.
The proposed tax upon travel is most
onphi!anlhrcpc and onstatesmanlike. It
may be an effective mode of raiding money.
So would a forced loan upon banks and in
surance companies- But all such modes
proceed from indolence, or from an unwil-
lingness to place the burden where it be
longs. So with a lax upon (he diffusion of
intelligence. It is certainly remarkable that
republican America should impose a tax
upon .newspapers, the great educators in
modern times, at almost the same moment
- it has been removed by monarchical Eng
lasd.
TrjiES to Wbiiewash Din.
We notice that the Abolition press, head,
ed by f,that horrible monster Greely," are
making a labored effort, with the assistance
ofthe Republican War Committee ofCon
gress, to white wash Geu. Fremont. But
we opine that all their efforts will fail to re
instate their pet in the confidence of the
people. It is well to obaerve. io' passing,
that the Committee who attempted to extri
cate Fremont noon ice grave cnarges against
Lira have not presumed to report an thing,
either to Congress cr the people, which
; tends ia the slightest degree to remove, or
' extenuate the said charges. But the aboli
tionists go solar as to presume, as the Com
mittee did not report against him, that thsy
have reaily vindicated bis course and acts.
So much for Abolition imagination :
We DClieve mere is noi a m unary man 01
any prominence whatever, but that- con
demns the generalship of Fremont in his
' Western Campaign. Independent of the
"charges of corruption and extravagance, be
stands to day convicted ofthe most unpar
donable blunders in all his military opera
tions. Ha allowed Springfield to fall, when
he could .have easily prevented it. He
.remained passively at Si Locis, and wit
nessed the fall ol Lexington, when he could
easily have reinforced the garrison, and
driven the enemy awaj. He never dared,
or at least did not, move again st Price until
compelled to do 60. And when he did
rnove, he rushed blindly on, and would un
doubtedly have fallen into the trap prepared
for him y his crafty opponent, had he
not been removed from the command.
We have seen no attempt by any one in
possession of the facts, to explain away
these matters. But we do know that the
moment Gen. Hunter was placed in com
mand of Fremont' army seeing the dan
ger into which the latter was blindly march
ing, ordered a retreat.
.These gentry will have lo labor for some
time yet before they can ever convince the
people that Fiemonl is fit to command a
division- And we doubt not that his oper
ations in the ''Mountain Department" will
soon overturn the little military reputation
s:i;l possessed by the redoubtable John
Charles. We do not pretend to doubt the
coarag cf the abolitiou Ganeral, and we
tbaht cot that he would mcko a very re
p?rab!e Brigadier, after receiving the
proper training at the hands of a good drill
f'TSoant. B-it to make a Major General
est of him is about as riiScalt as to make a
whl.
lia out of a p's'a taiL
- - Fremont Again In Command.
There has been a good deal said about
this man Fremont. He has given this ad
ministration some considerable ur.eisiness.
In short it has obeyed the biddings of Fre
moflt and his abolition friends. A coif m
porary bas hit off the following which we
can endorse as being truthful and to the
point:
"Gen Fremont is again restored to ac
tive service, and assigned to a command !
He was removed by the President, it will
be recollected, a few months since, because
of his reckles expenditure of the public
monies, his want of military capacity, and
his total disregard of both law and the con
stitution. These were the charges against
him, and the President was compelled to
remove him and thus save his command
from annihilation. And yet this man, reek
ing with fraud and corruption, and respon
sible for the death of Lyon and the capture
of Mulligan, and who, according to tho re
port of the investigating Committee, tqoan- J
dered ten millions of dollars, in a few months
this man, we say, has been restored to a
command! Fremont has never attempted
to settle bis account with the Government,
nor has he been asked lo settle, but with
unblushing assurance has pnt both the
Government and the President at defiance,
and by threats and menaces has compelled
the President to "cave" to his imperious da
mands. Ever since the removal of Fre
mont, the abolitionist have demanded his
restoration, threatening opposition to the
administration if their demand was not
complied with. Greeley, in his Tribune,
was most insolent and overbearing, and
told the President, in plain language, that a
refusal to reMore Fremont would organize
an opposition to the administration that
would provtj fierce and powerful. This is
the way tho Abolitionists talk to the admin-
istra'ion wtiSti they want to accomplish a
purpose. and yet we hear no complaint from
those pukish journals who are constantly
telling their readers that the opposition of a
Democratic editor to the "powers ihat be.'
or to the robbers is disguised treason. Oh,
no impudent and treasonable abolitionism
can rob, steal, plunder, danonnce the Pres
ident, his Cabinet, and scoff at ttie ConstN
tution and it is all r ght and proper, but l?t
a Democrat attempt these ihin2s, and what
a pack of yelping whiffets will be at hi?
heels.
But, "eld Abe" has succumbed he
quailed before the frowns of Greeley, Surrw
ner, Lovejoy and other Secessionists, and
has again commissioned Fremont and given
him a command in a State that despises him.
The President has ihns assumed Fremont's
delinquencies, and he must bear theodiuf. ,
Would that onr country had a Jackson in
the President's chair, if but for one month

Then Government robbers and military
blunderers would be brought to a speedy
and terrible account."
What cf the Msht ?
It is no longer a question with anybody
whether the rebellion will be crushed.
This is universally accepted to be as' cer
tain . as destiny. The only real problem
now is, whether it will get its quietus by
this spring campaign. It is a matter of
Treat moment. Tens of thousands of lives
and hundreds of millions of public money
depend upon it. If summer overtakes onr
armies in the low latitudes of the South,
with their work half done, they will be
obliged to suspend all vigorous effort for
four or five months, and November will
find tbem Utile, if any, advanced bejond
where May shall leave them. It would be
a physical impossibility for nnacclimated
northern troops to carry on active operations
under the burning heats of the southern day
and amid the deadly malaria of the south
ern night. The attempt to maintain a vig
orous offensive under such corditions
would involve a frightful sacrifice of life,
and lead to no decisive result. Even inac
tivity, and all practicable exemption from
exposure, would rot save from great rav
age by disease. The war, if not finished
this spring, must !at until winter It costs
some sixty millions a month to maintain it.
and its prolongation through two more sea
sons woold involve an additional expendi
ture of at least three hundred millions.
We see. then, what tremendous responsi
bility devolves upon General McCi.ki.lan.
It rests with him mainly whether the main
body ol the rebel army shall be hors do
combat within the next two months and a
half. If he does this effectually, the utrength
of the rebellion will be irrecoverably bro
ken, audit will require but a comparative
ly small force to deal with its dying strug
gle in the Gall Spates. It will require con
eumaie skill and o.itiring activity to accom
plish so great a work in so limited a time,
but the confident tone ot his address author
izes us lo expect it, as well as his own we I
nnderstood character and that ol the army
he commands. May Heaven speed and
prosptr him in his mighty work !

by the Democracy of that State The Gov
ernor does not appear to have paid much
atten'.ion.to the command of whittled politi

notice of his re-nomination, that he accepts
it with pleasure, and in a speech after
wards in reply to a congratulatory call, aid
he had 'always rouxn rue Democratic PAk
ty true to ths Union.' This is just and
true of our glorious old party. It has always
been true to the Union and bad it admo
nitions been heeded by the people, their
government would not be menaced by re
bellion. This is pointed and practical tes
timony, and shonld be carefully considered
by those who have been misleed into aid
ing the isms which have combined against
it. . ' ; ,

The President's late emancipation mei-
sage squints very strongly towards a recoj?
uition of the Sout hern Confederacy.' His
idea appears to be ti emancipate th slaves
in order to prevent the border States joinin j
the i disaffected region'' when its iudep.en-
t dence is acknowledged. That we may ml
be accused of misrepresentation we gite
his own language and if it will bear any
other construction we are unable to see it :--"The
leaders ol the existing insurrectitn
entertain the hope that the Government w U
ultimately be forced to acknowledge ire
independence ot some part of the disaffect
ted region, and that all the Slave Statis
north of such parts will then say the Unit n
for which we have struggled being alrea y
gone, we now choose to go with the south
ern section."
And again :
The point is, not that all the Slates t( I
erating slavery would very soon, if at all,
initiate emancipation, but that while the
offer, is equally made io all, the mrre
Northarn shall by such initiation, make it
certain to the more Southern that in io
event will the lormer ever jo;n the latter
in their proposed Confederacy."
Is this not virtually admitting that tie
Southern Confederacy is already a fixed in
stitution, and holding out a bribe ("peculi
ar oif," the President calls it:) to previ nt
the Border from going along with the Ct
ton Slates? If it has come to this that 've
are no longer fighting lor the preservation
of the Union we had better disband our. ir

tion of the Union is not the object of the
war.
To any one who has watched the course
ofthe Republican party it must be apparjnt
that a dissolution o! the Union is the object
and result for which that party has long! la

Wendell XMiilllps
Wendell Phillips recent'ymade a speech
at the Smithsonian Institute, Washingtonin';
which he openly declared that he had been
engaged in efforts to dissolve the Union for
ihe last thirty years. He keeps to his old
text i and yet he was awarded tho privi
leges of the Senate Chamber, and also the
House. We see it announced that he has
made his appearance at Harrisburg, and
that the Senate has graciously given him
that Chamber io fulminate his secession
ideas.
Really this is strange. Men who have
been the substantial friends of the Consti
tution and the Union all their lives, have
been arrested and imprisoned, for no al
leged offence whatever, and released with
out trial; and yet this man Phillips not only
runs free, but is nursed and petted by the
United States Senate, the Senate of Penn
sylvania, and Abolitionists generally.
Why ? The enswer is in his speech at
Washington, in which he acknowledged
that he had been working against the Union
for thirty years. Never was a confession
more true. For thirty years Phillips has
been attacking the Constitution, and using
every means to exasperate the South to se
cession. Now that he has accomplished
his object, he is in his glory, and triumphs
in this fratricidal war as did Satan when his
schemes against mankind resulted in Cain's
murdering his brother Abel. But now that
Phillips has confessea that for thirty years
he has been a conspirator against the Uni
on, is it not about time that the Government
put an end io his atrocious career by con
fining him in a prison or a lunatic asylum ?
By his own confession, Phillips and 'the
Southern Rebels, are co-laborers, and thera-
tore they ouoht to be treated alike

It does not appear that this war is being
prosecuted upon the principle first espoused.
The war was ineritably for the Union the
holding together of these States. At present
it would seem different, if we may look at
and jude the actions of Congress with any
thing like its true character. Here is a bill
introduced, declaring the rebel States all
territory; apother is introduced to prohibit
Slavery, and finally the President delivers
an emancipation message to Congress,
wherein a resolution is proposed for the
consideration of the. House, setting forth
that the United States ought to co operate
with any State which may adopt gradnal
abrlihment of slavery, giving such state
peevniary aid. Here is a bid for the negro ;
anv State wishing to sell out her slock of
negroes now is the time. But whether our
people will be content to be taxed in order
to purchase negroes which to us would be
worthless trash we have our doubts. The
war programme may have changed to a
war of gradual emancipation of slavery. It
was not the negro last April, but we fear by
the first of April next, it will be the negro in
earnest, if not that already.
Congbess had abrfut as well adjourn as)
to set at Washington City day in and day
out, discussing the negro question. A bill is
before the House to abolish slavery in the
District of Columbia. This has been at
tempted time and again, years aao, by the
Abolitionists, but always signally failed.
To us it occurs that this is not the time for
Congress to be thus engaged. How dis
heartening it must be to the Union men of
Kentucky, Tennessee, Missouri and North
Carolina, to know that the Federal Congress
is endeavoring to abolish slavery in the
District of Columbia, besi des the efforts that
are being made to accomplish the passage
of a general emancipation act. Yes, we re
peat, this must be discouraging to the Union
men in the South. Slavery is not the cause
of this war, said the Republican party, as
well as the traitors, therefore why allow the
black hearted Abolitionisms to bring' this
question in the con'est? The South rebelled
because they wished to establish a South
ern Confederacy, and as soon as this was
attempted the Federal authorities rose in
their might for the purpose of crushing out
this rebellion and thus prevent a dissolution
of the Union. Our purpose is to preserve
this Union in tact as it was under the true
provisions and spirit of the Constitution
We are opposed to bringing more questions
in the field than can be well gotten along
with. Let us settle the question ol seces
sion first; after this is done, it will be time
enough to listen io the Abolitionists, every
man of whom deserved a halter around his
neck years aso.
Tub Tklkgkaph at this place gave us in
formation of a battle having taken place at
or near Winchester on the 22d inst., the
Federal forces numbering about 8,000 and
the rebel 15,000. This was a victory lor
us, over the combined forces of the rebel
Generals, Jacksoe, Smith and Longsireet
The enemy was completely routed with, it
is supposed, heavy loss. Our loss is stated
to be about 8!) killed and 100 wounded.
Among ocr )os3 are fourteen Captains snJ
one Colonel, William Murray. This is the
first victory for Gen. Shields, since his
being placed in the command of the late

wounded in the arm, at this engagement. -
