CORRECTIOX.—In our report of the proceed ings of the Common Council, yesterday, we were in error -in stating that Mr. Killen "thought Mr. MoMuter had treated this body with contempt, and' that ho was unworthy to hold the - responsible p osition he occupied:" What ho did say was , - "that Mr. McMaster had treated the authority of Council with contempt, but whothes ho bad done it inten tionally or not he was not prepared to say. It was due to himself and friends that the cloud of suspicion now resting-en him, if ho was in nocent, should ho removed by an investiga- Lion; and if he was guilty; it was duo to the Council that he should no longer hold the re sponsible position of its Clerk." , Nor THE klaw.—/tdispaich was received at the Mayor'a office, yesterday, from Rochester, that a man with a gray horse, which he had stolen, had passed through that place about 3 o'clock on Friday morning. The police heard of a man and horse answering the description, crossing the St. Clair Street and Monongahela bridges, and they pursued him to ,Browns town, where they overtook and arrested him.

We understand that the County Commit sionera have just levied the county tax for the current year, which include - I an assessment of. twourisaveis oak (or nearly .three per eent.),. for? the interest on railroad bonds 'due and fall-; ing dee the present year. They have also', levied a tax of five mills for county - purposes, and two mills poor tax. This anaouncement will doubtless startle many of our readers, as it is ...only a beginning," they should en deavor to preserve or composure. The Councils at Pittsburgh and Allegheny have also made their, assessments for 1862;, and the rate of taxation may be regarded as fixed. What, then, have we to pay during the, present year 1' The cities of Pittsburgh and' "Alleghenjhave made no provision for the col-, lection of a railroad tax at present,'bellarlifg that sistrequltable oomptomise can- yet, be ef fected. • This does n0t.,.0f course, exonerate those holding property in either city, trim the payment of their shake of thelonnty railroad indebtedness, ni4levied. Then let us look, at matters as they now stand. In the two cities, the rate of taxation will , be about:as follows : : City tax School tax.(av4mige).. Poor tax ...... ..... State tax County tax, proper... County 'road cal. Total 4 —or, 44-10 per cent. on the. present value- The above does not include the city business tax or Water vents. 121= City,tax ............ School tax (average).:: Poor tax' Sista tan' '" County 'tai, proper County Railroad tax... -.: The above.is also axelmsve of, water rents, which are. not properly ...regarded as .a. tax. The amount foots - up the same as. in-Pitts . In the boroughs and townships the rate will be equally high. Th96 . 01'061 taz, for. instance. taking the whole county, averages over b% mills. Then there is a road tax in the town. , ships, which amounts to considerable. The two mill tax for the relief of thii lies of volunteers was not levied, but it no doubt will be before the year is ended. -- It is stated- that the . railroad tax will be placed in a separate_ column,, and that the Tetasirer will not Saila upon' iti - . - paiment until the end of the year; Mitopiti that. &Orli= premise may be effected in the meantime.. • • If the railroad levy it paid, the rate of tsx ationfor 1882 may be , pot down in round bars at aboutilospsrccat.„Ofthapiesent vain- AA Allegitesulim Killed .at *gt; Henry. * Among the brave Men who fell listhit battle at Port Henry, yesterday, was Marsh yord r an old steamboat pilot, well, llows'.to all boat . men on She Western - rivers . , telopaphie . dispatch was p"Ceised ,to-day,annoutetng i the miancholP fact of;his death,. 04.0 bits are given: wasengaged one of the gunboats, moscprobablylho Essex, which suffered , terribly.

Corrtarcedence of the Atteburzh 'Gazette.' EARRISBOILGI. Feb. 6, 1882 ~.;Dr. Cheerer, of the famous church of the Puritans, New York, lectured last night in the Hall of the House, on the relations of slavery to the present war. This famous divine is known to be the . representative man of the extreme abolition wing—quite up to the Wen dell Philips type of thought. In manner he is not by any means the equal of Mr. Philips or Henry Ward Beecher. His argument, how ever; Was vigorously and logically put. In 'fact more matter could scarcely be compressed into two hours than was found in his lecture. His remedy to end the present war is a pro clamation by the President declaring all slaves owned by disloyal masters to be ipso facto free. He thinks that if Gen. Fremont had not been interfered - with, and the doctrines of his proclamation had been acted on in the camps, this war would already be about ended. He did not directly assail the nation al administration though he gave quite a number of thrust; at Gen. McClellan. A . good many ardent Republicans said they coincided=fully with his argument. For my own part I must confess that such lecturers as Dr. C. would tend powerfully to destroy con fidence in the army and national administra tion. He says the great curse of this coun try, since this war commenced, has bean - the effort to conciliate the border slave States— and clearly intimated that both the President and General McClellan are subject to these in fluences. His lectures certainly do not tend to arouse patriotism and encourage citizens to enlist for the war. On the contrary, like all faultfinder', his remarks tend to disgust with the present order of things, and offers no sub stitute that sensible people can follow. The Senate this morning passed a joint resolution in favor of a national armory and foundry. . This resolution ought to have named Pittsburgh as the prime where the same ought to be located. The fact that some dozen of competing points in the State would have combined against it, prevented Mr. Irish asking instructions in favor of Pittsburgh. I hopothe House will pass the same to-morrow, inasmuch as the-Congressional Committee will report in • few days. The Pittsburgh Committee, at Washington, have been busy collecting and distributing information in favor of Pittsburgh as a site. Their pamphlet presents a fair abstract of the argument, and they have, by their peri sonal influence, convinced many who had never before looked into the matter. Your citizens are under many obligations to these gentlemen for their voluntary labors in behalf of the Sfuoky City. If you do fail, you can console yourselves, that it was neither owing to the goodness of your cause, • or the weak ness of your committee. The action of both Rouse and Senate, to day, has been confined to local bills, of no special interest to your county. Two remon strances were presented against the emoluaive privileges asked - for by. Mr. Mcßee ' at the Sawmill Run ferry. Also, petitions from the officers of Col. Jackson's Regiment, for the payment of uniforms, procured by them from some of our Pittsburgh clothing men. Fold PITT. Letter from Col. Black's Regiment. Caur Berms Br..ect, Feb. 3, 1882.

A very distressing accident occurred in Cone piny C, Capt. Monk, onflaturday evening last, about sunset, resulting.in the death of Corpo ral. Lowrie who happened to be in Captain Monk's tent. While in the tent he took down his brothel's (Lieut. Lowrie) revolver, which was hanging near, and was loaded; and he was so unfortunate li t to have It pointed towards his be, when it was discharged by himself, the bill entering the temple on the right side of his head; and penetrating the. brain, causing almost instant death. Deceased was a young man of about twenty-two years. of age, a good soldier, and much loved by. all. his comrades; and his death is very much la mented by all-who knew him, both as a soldier and companion. Dr:.J..P.

Cincinnati, St. Louis, Carom:loles and Essex, the Tyler, Conestoga and Lexington bringing up the rear, advanced boldly against the rebel works, going to the right of Painter Creek Island, immediately above which, on the east shore of the river, stands the fortifications, and keeping oat of range till at the head of the island, and; within a mile of the enemy ;. passing the island in full view of the rebel guns, we steadily advanced, every man at, quarters, every:oar strained to catch the. Flag Officer's signalgun forthe commencement of the action. Our line of battle was on the left, the St. Louis next, the Cincinnati for a time being the flag-ship, having on board Flag Officer A. 11. Foote and next the Essex. We advanced in line, when, at 12:00, the Cincin esti opened the ball, and immediately the three accompanying boats followed suit. The . enemy, not baekward, gave an admirable re-,, sponse, and the tight raged furiously for halfi, an hour. We steadily advanced, receiving and returning storms of shot and shell, when, getting within three 'hundred yards of the enemy's works, we came to a -stand, and poured into them, right and left. In the, meantime the Issas bad been disabled; and drifted away from the scene of action; - leaving the Cincinnati; Carondolet and St. Louis alone engaged. M. precisely' , forty minutes past one, the enemy struck his colors, aid such cheering, such wild excitement as Belied throats; arms, and caps, of the 400 or 500 sailors of the gun boats can be imagined. After the surrender, which was made to flag-officer Foote by Gen. LloydTilghman, who defended his fort in the most determined manner, we found the rebel .infantry encamped outside, for a force, Dam-. bering four or live thousand, had, cut, and were leaving the rebel artillery company in command of the fort. The fort mounted' seventeen guns, mostly 32 and 34 panders, : one being a magnificent ton inch eoluinbiad., Our shots dis Mounted two of their guns, driv ing the enemy into embrasures. One of their rifled 32-pounders burst during the engage ment, wounding one of their gunners. 'The rebels claim to have but eleven effective guns, worked by 54men—the. number, all told, of our prisouers. They lost five killed and ten badly wounded. The InftWry left everything in their flight. A vast deal of plunder has fallen into our hands, including a target sad valuable quantity of ordnance stores. Get': Tilghman is disheartened; he thinks it one of the most damaging blows of the war. In surrendering to Flag-Officer Foote, the rebel General remarked: "I am glad to surrender to so gallantan officer." Flag-Officer Foote replied: "Yon do perfectly right, Sir, in surrendering; but you should_haveblown my boats out of the water before I would have surrendered to you." In the engagement the Cincinnati was in the lead, and, flying the Hag-officer's ponant, was the chief mark. Flag-officer Foote and Captain Stentbel crowded her defiantly into the teeth of the enemy's guns. She got thir ty-one shots, some of them going completely through her.. The Essex was badly when about half through the fight, and crowd ing steadily against the enemy, a ball went into her_port side, forward port, through,* heavy bulk , head, and squarely through one of the boilers, escaping steam and scalding and killing Several of the crew. Capt. Per ter, his aid, S. P. Britton, nd Paymas ter Lewis were standing in a Jr.,et eot. line of the balls passing. Britton being in the centre of the group, a; shot struck him on the top of his head, scattering brains'in every direction; The escaping Steam went into the pilot bowie, instantly killing Ford. and Pride, the pilots. Many of the; soldiers, at the rush of the steam, jumped overboard, and were drowned: - The Cincinnati hid one killed and six wounded; the Essex bad six seamen killed and two offi cers and seventeen men wounded, and five missing. There was no casualty en. the St. Louis or CaOroielet,, though the shot and shell fell upon them like rain. The St Innis _eras commanded ky Capt. Leonard Paulding, who stood Open the gun-boat and fought the guns to the tast.s, Not a man flinched, Sind 'with cheer upon cheer sent shot and shell among the enemy. , • Wssumoios, Feb.-I.—Secretary Welles halt reoeired.thei followhirdispatqh • • - U.S. Filo- S Curcounsez, (qtr IFort Henry, Tennessee' Rieer,)" Feb. 0, via Cidro,"Feb.7 Bon.

House.-,Mr. Sternest of - Pa.., said that the United States Note I,lll,plusied yesterday,pro iided for the .payment of. the interest on hands semi-annually hi, eoln. This; he said; was inadvertently inserted, and by the unan imous consent of . the House, ..he, to-day, amended the bill by striking out these words, leaving it to the. convenience or'option of the Treasury 'Department to pay interest in coin Or pape . Mr. lolman, of Ind., from .the Committee on Government Contracts, reported a joint res olution declaring that certain lands wore granted to Missouri on condition that the Government troops and military supplies, be transported over such- railroads as might be constructed from the proceeds of the sales thereof free of charge, but in consideration of the fact that the ability of the Hannibal and St. Joseph and Pacific Railroads has been greatly impaired by the publie enemy, the Secretary of Wer is authorized to make such an adjustment with these roads for - transport= ation as may be ,just and reasonable - during the' xisterice of the rebellion; provided that the charges do not exceed those fixed by the War De pa rtment. Mr. Holman showed the necessity for the adoption of the resolution, and maintained that the Government corild not transport troops, munitions and supplies as economi cally, were it to take possession of the road, as private parties. • ' • After a debate, the resOlirtion was recom mitted to the Committeenr, Government Con . Mr. Holman, of Indiana, from that Com mittee, reported a resolution requesting the Secretary of War to inform the House of the amounts paid , to each of the several railroad companies for the transportation of troops:and supplies since the commencement of the pres ent 'difficulties, together with other informa tion on the subject. Mr. Van Wyck, of New York, moved that the House proceed to the consideration of the report of the Committee' on Government Con tracts. lie spoke of the advantages taken of the-trembling necessities of the country by speculators of the cattle contract, made in this city, whereto} , -$50,000 was realized on 2,000 head ; of the agency of Alexander CuMmings; of New York, of the.ammenes amount .of money paid out to him without any vouchers Of his purchase; of linen, pantaloons, London potter,_Sootch ale and Dutch herring Air the use of the army. He next spoke of the char ter of the steamer Catalina, and of the horse contracts at Huntendon, Tenn. A . huge con : tract brokerage eyetom was sought to be established at the commencement of the diffi culties, whereby five Rer cent. was to bo. paid on centre:et,: As a.. friend of tho adminielaa iion,he;bad the right tolneist that It :shall drive Corruption from the land-and treason from the capital. He then spoke of Mr.:Mor gan's agency, And the - pet:illations in the 'De, partment of the . West. Mr. Davis,• of. Pa., said that no man was more earnestly- desirious :than himself of bringing to justice every man charged with fraud on the Government. He was partici'. tarty interested - in. - bringing one man to .jus tire—namely hie own brother. Ile asked the Committee and House to unite , with bite in his efforts to have Captain Davis, Assistant, , Quartermaster, who is charged with crime, Arrested,: court-martialed, and if found gutty, and the penalty Is death, have him shot.. His brother knew nothing of theeharge of defraud ing the Government and soldiers until it was_' published to the.world through the report of . the Investigating Committee. He, Mr. Davis, had in vain sought to have his brother's trans actions inquired into, and had been before the Commit* with 'that view, but :he was told that it would cost $5OO to, bring Capt. Davis to vindicate his reputation. All these inves tigations will amount to nothing, rimless means are taken to punish the wrong_ doers. His brother's reputation was worth morn to him than that of any other man - living. All: he asked Was that if ' his brother was guilty:, trial:him, and Him is innoCent; let the feet ' eclared. Mr. Davis, of Mass., said that he could ap preciate the sensitiveness of the gentleman touching the representation of his brother, Captain Davis. He said that the first hnowl edgo he had, of the charge Against him was -in the report of the Committee,. Now the, truth-is, he came before the Committee and, furnished them with, certified copies - of the papers himself. If Captain . Havis led the Committee into error by giving as tree copies' - those which proved not to be so, the Commit mittee are nut to be blamed.. If the Captain'', would come-beforelhe''CfiniMliteei he would have a charicito correct his own mistake; but to enable him to do thisi it could hardly be expected that they should .send for hint. His friend, Mr. Davis, had done all he could to have his brother cotirt:Maribtlipl: ored him for it, hut the gentleman should'not find fault with - the , committee that he had not' been successful. • Davis replied that he had simply intimated that his brother knew nothing of the ,charges of fraud against him till it was ,ppblished. The committee had interrogated - hire al to General Fremont's body guard, whether they; rode on bay horses with drawn swords; how; they were dressed, ike. His brother stood be -t fore the country as a felon. .He repeated that' ho only asked that be' be putilithed; if 'guilty, ind righted if innocent. , . , , Mr. Dawes read from the testimony to show; that Capt. Davis purchased from his son, in. Philadelphia, certain liltinkets, 'and repeated that Capt. Davis could appear before the com mittee to set himself right. Mr. Holman, of Ind., offered the following: Resolved, That the conduct :of Secretary Cameron; in employing Alexander Cummings without, legal guarantee , : In make purchases without restriction, of 'lige amounts of mili4 tarp supplies, and _the conduct:of 'Secretary Welles, in employing Mr. Morgan witbqut requiring guarantees, for the purchase of a large number of vessels, the compensation depending on the prices paid, instead of em ploying responsible officers, have adopted a policy highly injurione and destructive to the public service and interest, and are deserving . of the censure of this House. At this point, Mr: Sedgwick, of N. Y., sent up the dispatch, : received-from flag officer Foote, by the Secretary of the Nary, inform ing thmlatter of the capture of-Fort.Henry, Applause both, on tbetioor and in the-galle ries succeeded the reading of the dispatch., The motion at the earlier stage of- the pro ileedings, that the consideration:of the report be 'postponed till Tuesday of next week,. was then agreed to. Mr. Blair, of Mo.,fratn.tba Conimittee of Conference, on the disagreement._ of . the two homes to the amendmente: to the bill making the appropriation for:oe:defences" of Wash ington, made a report; irtibili enta agreed to.

The bill was taken up. The amendment of the committee appropriates $10,000,000 for the purposes - of theaet. Mr. Hale, of N. IL, road a letter froin the Secretary of the Navy, saying , that the-De partment could probably build ten or twelve boats in six months and double that pember in a year. That the Departnient dO not intend to conform to any particular plan, but intend to avail themselves of the experience gained in the progress of the work; that the .cost r an g es from $300,000 to $550,000 ; but ; that ' Captain Ericsson proposed to bun dle= in ail months at $225,000 ; that;the purposes of the boats were to reduce the harbors of the enemy and open them to the Union army. The Sec retary earnestly recommends the appropria tion of $10,000,000. Mr. Hale, said that the vessels already built by Capt. Ericsson was built by contract, and was completed within a day of the time sr:mi ned. The bill was amindecreo as to. limit the number to twenty, arid passed. - The report of the Naval Committee on the Secretary of the. Navy's letter, in regard 'to Mr. Morgan's purchase, was taken up. Mr. Hale, of N. H., said he considered the subject of much importance to the Senate and to the country. What he was about-to say was to be said, not as a republican - or a mem- ber of any party. He stood - here to-day. to plead for the country. He had been accused of being an opponent'oelhe administration, but he wanted it distinctly understood that on • this 'object he had nothing to buy and had nothing to sell. The administration had not - a gift that he desired, and. he had nothirig they.wantedi except a faithful interest to - the country. No earthly consideration could make him leave the place he - occupied here ; but this matter cannot be winked-out of sight; It cannot be concealed or covered up ; no soph istry can make anything else of it, but what it ie. There have been some objections made against this resolution. The Senator from Maine (Mr. Yeasenden) thoighf it was not dignified on the-part of the Senate to act on the evidence that we had, That objection was removed now. The evidence is that the Sec retary of the:Navy, having occasion , to' per- Chaim some vessels, employed his brother-in law,, and for less than five months service paid him $70,000. go laid wide the question I whether this sum was, paid out of the publio funds, but returned to the assertioitithat," di rectly, the purchase of these' vessel' cost this government twice that sum, and ',indirectly cost millions. If you. should tell h man that he must:pay you $lOO cominission tura' sale ; then if ho be of human nature, he would pot teries that sum in Iris charge. This transae tion bad gone through the laud. The people ' knoirthat when they were retiring forth blood and treasure for the support of the' gov ernment, the Secretary of s port Navy was pay"- tog Mr. Morgan abOut '512,000 per month from these hard earnings. • Mr. Dixon, of Ct., defended the Secretary of the Navy. On motion of Mr. Fessenden, the subject was postponed till to-morrow. The Civil Apprapriation bill was takonap, and the aniondment in regard , to ,the printing of treasury notes by, the American Note Com pany. The bill was then postponed tempo rarily, and the bill to authorize an additional issue of United States treasury notes was taken up and passed. Also, the bill to thorize the I'BE4lO of ten millions Of demand , - , On motion -of -Mr. Anthony, a `part of the appropriation,fer seeds, &c.., was ordered to be applied to the investigation of preparing flax as a Inbstitutis for 'cotton:: The , bill was passed.
