CONGRESS ON TAXES.
The House of Representatives, having
&Med the consideration of the clause
levying a tax upon whisky, proceeded, on
Thursday last, to the discussion of other
important pro Visions. Among the new ob
jects suggested for taxation, was one by
Mr. John Hickman, "that jugglers prac
tising slight of hand should pay s•'o li
cense." This amendment. was adopted,
after which the House proceeded with a
learned discussion upon the propriety of
laying a tax upon dogs—or rather as a
shrewd Western member observed on •dog
holders," because, said he, very truly. —we
can collect the tax otf the holder, but not
off the dog." The House at once per
ceived the point and almost iinanimously
adopted the amendment. One member
remarked, thsit some discrimination ought
to be made in this dog-tax—that mastiff.
hound, and cur of low degree, should he
taxed in accordance with ''a home valua
tion." He advocated specific duties, oth
erwise his conscience would not permit
him to support the bill. This aroused :he
indignation of the fiery Hickman, who de
clared "conscience" to be au unparlia
mentary word, saying that he had held po
sitions in legislative bodies off and on for
a quarter of a century, and in all that time
the word conscience was never used in de
bate but once, and then by an inexpert'
enced country member. This anunuu,•e
ment brought down the galleries.
Mr. Hickman's proposition to tax jug
glers shows his willingness to pay his
share, or abandon the profession; that he
will do the latter, we consider highly im
probable. Among the numerous slight of
hand performers in the country, the gen
tleman from the Chester district has held a
distinguished position; eating hot coals of
fire, and swallowing a three-foot sword are
simpletricks of strategy, compared to some
of his public performances. The ease and I
grace with which he blinded the Democ
racy of his district in 1854; and the subtle
manner with which he again fooled them
in 1856, were equal to Blitz' egg trick, or
the producing of six different liquids front
one vessel. Then in 185, the manner in
which he,--assisted by Forney—came the
optical delusions over the Douglas Demo
crats of Chester, is only surpassed 4 the
new phenomena of "second sight. — By a
sudden transition he got into the ranks of
the Republicans in 18i;0, and since then he
has been performing a series of tricks
quite novel and interesting. What new
dodge he has in preparation, it is impossi_
He to divine; his invention comes from his
pate; he is, consequently original, and
whenever the people grow tired of and see
through" his latest trap, he has another
ready for exhibition. it will, however, re
quire some very ingenious confederates, to
enable Hickman to get back to Congress
for another term.
tar That sneezing old thing, the Pitts
burgh Gazette, islosi lig what little percept ion
- it - ever had. The other day it informed ere.
ation that if Gen. Shields kni;w that Breek
inridge was a traitor at the time he voted
for him, why then he (Shields) was a trai
tor, too. This was worthy of a dogberry.
We tried to enlighten our obtuse neighbor
by stating that Breckinridge was nominated
in July, 1860; that during the canvass he
made good, Union speeches, and that he
did not show any signs of treason until the
fall of 1861, more than a , year after his
nomination. To this little' bit of explana
tion and common sense, our old rickety
neighbor replies as follows:
The Post's Defense of Breckinridge
Traitor's.
"Tie Pittsburgh Post tries to make om
that Breckinridge was not a traitor until
the WI of 1861, when it is undeniable that
the treason commenced its active work by
breaking up the Democratic party, with a
fidlidew of the ultimate end, and the use
to •be made of it."
There is no use in our neighbor lying,
especially about a thing so trifling as this
is;
. we notstate the exactdate of Breck-
inridge's treason, we only proved that the
Gazette's attempt to hOld Gen. Shields or
- anybody else responsible for it, was a piece
of - malieions- stupidity worthy only of a
sniffling abolitionist. Breckiuridge may
have been a traitor, like Wendell Phillips
fifteen yeamago, but we do not think he
was. At all events there is no one respon-
Ade for his treason but himself; as there
'ear' be no one held accountable .for the
stupidity of the Gazette, except its nnfor
unate proprietors.
0417811 OF APPREHENSION.
The Louisville Journal has a corres
pondent at Cairo, who has received some
information of an alarming character from
New Orleans. According to this intelli
gence, thirteen iron-clad gunboats, the
largest one armed with thirty guns and all
of them considered invulnerable, have
been building at New Orleans and are al
readymiderked for their destined service.
We s hould not be much surprised if these
powerful,W,u4 were to raise the New
Orleans blockade and even to destroy the
blockading fleet in a night or a day.
The conjecture of the gentleman who
brought the information from New Orleans
to Cairo, is - that the New Orleans gun

Motion of Electricity
The mode by which the rate of motion of
electricity was obtained by Prof. Wheat
stone is so curious that it deserves to be
described. He caused the electricity from
the common machine to pass through a
long coil of insulated wire, in which were
two or more breaks across which sparks
must necessarily pass. . A mirror was
made to revolve with immense rapidity
before this coil. The reflection of the
sparks was thil. thrown 4.l , :ea , ionally, when
the mirror was in the right position, upon
a canopy above, graduated in divisions.
The reflection of one of thy• sparks was
found always to lag behind the other, on
account of the time occupied by the elec
tricity in paring through the intervening
portion of the coil, the eticet of which was
multiplied by lice revolving mirror. The
length of the coil between the breaks and
the rate of revolution of the mirror being
known, and the distance of the reflected
sparks from each other being observed, the
rate of motion of the electricity was easily
calcuhded.—Sefentific American.

AMERICAN WATCHES
FOR A.NEERICA.N.S.
No more English or French rub
bish, made to sell, but not
to keep time.
WHY SHOULD A N AMERICAN BVN
Y V a foreign Watch, when he can get a better
one at home?
Why should an American - , needlessly enrich
foreign Watch manufacturer!, at the einem o
our own artisans!
Why should an American send gold to England
and France, our covert but bitter enemies, when
gold is so much needed at home?
Why choUld an American buy an imparted
Watch, which, in nine cases out of ten, will oost
more to keep in order for one year than its oriai
nal price, and which wee never intended to keep
time, under any circumstances?'
Why should Americana not patronize yaore
generally- American manufactures, and thug
emancipate themselves from the thraldom o
English capital. French fashions, and Continia
tal gew-gaws?
The American Watch Company's Watches are
Particularly adapted for soldiers' me, being most
substantially made, and not liable to get out of
order, either in marching, riding or fighting.
Sold by all respectable Jewellers in the loyal
States.
