and mid that' it was inexpedient to act upon
the-resolution. that time," to which
Mr. Powell replied as follows :

simply asking how many citizens of a free

to flow, what a scene will be presented for

wood-cuts are not sufficiently expressive.
Here amid the report of flying corks, and

Richard Dazzle, will be in his element ;
and in order to impress the Plenipotentiar

like the said Dazzle, claim connection with
every respectable family in and about
Washington City. Forney is said to be very
genial upon these festive occasions : old

far beyond the ignorant present, and then
he was, like Jacques, full of matter—or of
something else. He will extend a hear y

MAJOR GENERAL IMETTH.
The telegraph announces the death of
Major General Charles Ferguson Smith.
He is a native of Pennsylvania, and son of
the celebrated Dr. Samuel B. Smith. He
entered the Military Academy as a cadet
in 1821, and graduated in 1825, standing
No. 19 in his class. On the first of July
of that year, he was made a second Lieu
tenant of the Second Artillery. In 1820
he was appointed the Assistant Instructor
in Infantry Tactics at the Military Acade
my. He served through Mexico, and in
1856 reached the Lieutenant Colonelcy of
the Tenth Infantry. He was made a
Major General March- 21, 1862, and com
mended the second division of the army
of the West.
NATIONAL TAXATION.
The action of the New York Chamber
of Commerce on the subject of internal
taxation will, it is to be hoped, attract the
attention is deserves from Congress. It
is now on record as the deliberate judg
ment of the merchants and bankers of this
city that the sum to be raised by the gov
ernment should not be less than $250,000,-
000 per annum; that is to say, something
over eight dollars for every man, woman,
and child in the whole country. The
judgment of the chamber is 'also against
the tax bill before Congress; in lieu of
whioh they propose a much simpler
scheme, the adoption of which would dis
pense with .the army of tax gathers provi
ded for in the bill which has passed the
•
Rouse of Representatives.
.1 tax of one per cent. on all the goods
and merchandise, wholesale and retail,
sold in the country would realize over
$100,000,000; from the tariff there should
be an income of $50,000,000; and tobac
co, cotton, whisky and malt liquors would
supply nearly another $100,000,000. Thus,
in the opinion of the chamber, the whole
amount could be raised withoutthe minute
and vexatious imposts proposed, the most
objectionable of which doubtless is the in
come 'tax.
The conclusions of the chamber seem to
be those which obtain in nearly. all busi
ness circles outside of government influ
ence. The only dispute is as to the pro
priety of taxing cotton. That is still an
open question.—N. Y. World..
SOUTHERN NEWS
A correspondent at Corinth says : Lin
coln's Brother-in-law, of Cincinnati. is
"Cheeltby-jon-1 . " with the Rebels.
There is an old acquaintance here, who
has strayed from Lincolndoni, and finds
himself in rather an embarrassing position.
I refer to Mr. C. H. Kellogg, of Cincin
nati, who has the misfortune to combine
two very antagonistic relations—that of
brother-in-law of Lincoln, with strong
sympathies for the South, and a bitter hos
tility to the war. Mr. Kellogg comes here
on priyate business, leaving his familyand
property in Cincinnati. He came with
the idea that some of his relatives here
were suffering for the want of many com
forts and necessaries of life. He is amazed
to find how different affairs are, and, hay
ing explained his purpose and feelings
promptly to the military 'commanders
here, he cheerfully acquiesces in the de
tention during military operations.
This Kellogg has been an inmate of the
White House since the inauguration of
Lincoln. What is he doing at Corinth
How to Fire the Southern Heart.
A Memphis correspondent of the Delta
gives this news :
It really seems that our calamities have
come upon us all at once. It is stated in
the North that, at the battle of Newbern,
the Fedemls thrice hoisted the white flag
in token of surrender, but that, for the
smoke, the Confederates could not see it,
and retreated the other way, and left the
enemy, victorious in spite of himself. Re
member, this is said at the North.
The Brilliant Victory.
The brilliant victory at...Pittsburg is an
nounced in the telegraph column, under a
booming cannon. In its comments, the
Delta says :
Although we have not yet received in
telligence of the final result of the battle,
there is every reason to ,believe that the
Confederate army has gained a brilliant
and decisive triumph, and that, within a
few days, the whole of -Tennessee will be
liberated from the invader.
Army of the Tennessee.
In relation to our army ander Gen. Hal

Journal, says :
Since the arrival of Gen. Halleek at
Pittsburg, on the 12th inst., renewed con

army, which is being rapidly reorganized
and prepared for anotker conflict. Fresh
troops are constantly arriving and in'ten

again moved, this time in; the 'advance,
and are now encamped in what is called
McGruder's Field. Close by 'stands
the former residence of the Rebel Geri
eral, (McGrader,) now, however, confis
cated, and used as a hospital for our men.
General McClellan's head quarters are
within hailing distance: He (Gen. McC.)
passes and re-passes our encampment fre
quently on his way to and from the lines.
Our regiment, and in fact the whole of
this "Corps d' Armee" (3d) are within range
of the Rebel seige guns, and it is not an
unfrequent sight to witness a '" good line
shot from the nearest batteries. Yes
terday, and also day before, Prof. Mason
made several ascensions in his balloon from
as many different points, elevating it to a
heighth of from four to five hundred ft.et,
and there remaining a space of time suffi
cient to witness all their (Rebel) opera
tions. A balloon was perceptible on Sun
day last, amending from the Rebel lines,
but its spying propensities were suddenly
(perhaps providentially) cut short by the
arrival of a severe thunder shower, said
shower drenching and flooding out all our
camps at the sato I time. It was indeed
sufficient cause to dampen our patriotic
ardor—what think you, Mr. Editor? 'Now,
however, old Sol. again gleams forth and
makes a furious attempt to retreive his lost
character. Our regiment goes on picket!
duty to-night, and are in rather a bad
plight for it, last night's drenching by rain
rendering them absolutely unfit for duty,
depriving them of rest, and in fact giving
them a complete bath. Severe bronchial
affections are the result. One day 'during
last week the Rebels made a sortie upon
our advance (centre) arid were instantly re
pelled, with what loss we cannot learn.
Ihey (the Rebels) were vastly superior
in numbers, but pluck will tell. The
daily loss of sevetal pickets has become
such a common occurrence that it is sel
dom spoken of. Col. Sam. Black's regi
ment (62d) is encamped about two hundred
yards from here, the boys visit one another
frequently. The first Connecticut regiment
(artillery) which by the way are the favor
ites of httle McC., are entrusted with the
siege train, and are now busily engaged in
getting into position a score or two of large
Beige guns and mortars; the latter event
cannot be accomplished in a day, nor do I
think a week, for there is no use whatever
in attempting to mask the affair, "they are
indeed strongly intrenched, and it will re
quire a longer space of time to reduce
them than is really supposed: it will be a
terrible and bloody affray, but who doubts
that our cause will conquor in the end.
I have seen various printed reports of
"the surrender of Yorktown--"evaena
tion &c.; and merely makethe above re
-1 marks, to set at rest all such premature
efforts. While in the encampment of the
Ist Connecticut regiment I noticed that
they-were fully provided with a large stock
of shot, shell, &c.: also a huge pontoon,
train wagons, ftc,; the regiment numbers
1600 effective men, five hundred being
provided with Sharpe's rifles, to support
the artillery. A large force is beinglanded
at Gloucester Point to-day. i. e: on the
Maryland side of the York river, near its
conatienceWith the Chesepeake Bay. There
are at present five gunboats in the York
river, and they continually aggravate the
rebels with their flying missiles. General
Franklin's Division are now landing at
Ship Point, and will, doubtless, be along
in a day or two. Several regiments of
regulars are encamped in the same field
with us. ['paid them a casual visit yester
day, and while passingthrough the line of
the 14th. came vis a vis with my compan
ion of yore,. Lieut John McClintock, of
East Liberty --to his numerous friends 1 '
would state he flourishes. If I were togive '
an estimate- of the number encamped in
this field alone, I would set it down us be
tween seventy and eighty thousand, not
less I assure you. Why Gen. I lei titzel -
man's "corps d' armee' alone is estima
ted
at 50,000: to the latter corps we are
now attached. There is a rumor quite
prevalent in camp, and derived front a reli•
able source, tone of Gen. II eintzelinan's
staff, ) which in effect states that Rich
mond is now occupied by the Divisions of
Generals Banks and Porter. Query—
what Porter is it? We have two General
Porters here; viz.: Andrew Porter. Gen
eral Provost. Marshal, and a Gen. Porter
of a Division now encamped here. Are
there "three Porters in the field ?" A
great amount of smoke was perceptible
to-day, rising from the rebel works, but
from what cause I was unable to learn.—
Severe firing was kept up to-day by our
batteries, on the Yorktown road, and ac
tively replied to by the rebels—no mate
rial. damage. On Sunday last one of the
engineer corps, (whose name I was una
ble to obtain,) was killed by the explosion
an: Well from the rebel batteries; he was
engaged at the time in drafting a rebel
work; one arm was torn from the body
and he was otherwise injured, causing his
death next day. One of Gen. McClellan's
staff had his arm severely fractured the
same day by the explosion of a rebel shell.
All handl are now busily engaged at the
manufacture of facines for our earthworks.
An immense number of them have already
been placed in position. However, as it
is growing late and wood ticks and my can.

went toward Corinth on Thursday, and
when nine miles out surprised a rebel
camp, took 27 prisoners, destroyed their
camp equippage and advanced to Pea
Ridge, within six miles of Corinth, and
remained from 11 o'clock in the morning
until t o'cloCk in the afternoon. There
were no signs of the enemy.

The Siege of Yorktown.
BEFORE YORKTOWN, April 25th.—The
principal event of yesterday worth men
tioning, was the shelling of Yorktown by
one of the gunboats. She moved up to
the mouth of Wormley's Creek during the
morning, opening a well-directed fire on
their works, which was promptly answered
by the rebels. The boat then fell back a
distance of three miles ,from Yorktown,
when she again opened. the shells explod
ing each time within the enemy's works,
but obtained no response- A few shot's
were fired during the day along the whole
line. to keep the rebels from strengthen

morning is cloudy. but the indications are
that it will soon c l ear tip .
The object of the nagof truce that went
to the enemy's lines cm Tuesday. by order
of General McClellan. was for the purpose
of exchanging tour rebel prisoners for a
similar number of our wounded in their

Commodore Foote enclosing a report from
Lieutenant Commanding Given, dated the
14th inst., in which he says the Tylor and
Lexington conveyed two transports con
taining 2.000 troops, infantry and cavalry,
under the command of General Sherman,
to Chickasaw, Ala., where they disembark
ed and proceeded rapidly to Bear Creek
bridge. - -
The crosiing of the Memphis & Charles
ton liiiirnad for the purpose of destroying
it and as touch of the trussel work as they
could find. was entirely successful. The
bridge, consisting of two spans one hun
dred and ten feet each, was completely
detroye.i, that is the superstructure, to. I
gether with some 500 feet of trussel work
and a half a mile of telegraph line.
The rebels made a feeble resistance to
our cavalry. 120 in number, but soon hast
ily retreated, losing four killed. Our loss
was none.
The War Department is desirous of

CIMP NEAR SPARTA, April 2.3 ! 1 •
via Washington, April 26.
Several deseriers and refugees corrobor
ate previous reports that Jackson, after
flying front our advance column on Friday
last, pushed forward to a point one mile'
North of Harrisonburg_ where a turnpike
branches to the left, passing Magangheys-,
town, on the South fork of the Shenando
ah, along the Blue Ridge, and run
ning thence to Gordonsville. Jackson's
wagon train had been pushed towards
Staunton, but hearing that the town was
in possession.of the Union troops he re
manded it to Harrisonburg.
At an early hour on Saturday morning
Jackson, with his whole force and train,
took the Gordonsville pike, and at latest
accounts had reached Magangheystown.
On Saturday night a squadron of the Ist
i
Vermont Cavalry, while scouting the Lu- 1
ray road beyond the *association Moun
tams, fell in with tilnidy drtFie enemy's l
cavalry when a skirmish ensued resulting
in the capture of 7 of the enemy and 11,
of their horses. None of our men were
hurt, but a Lieutenant had his horse' shot ,
under-him. • -

WASHINGTON, April 27.—The news frOm.
New Orleans, which has come through
several rebel sources, is deemed here to
be of the utmost importance. What. Old
England failed to do with all her power,
has been handsomely accomplished by
New England. :. . '.
The manner in which the successes at
Forts Jackson and Phillip were followed
up, is highly commended. In thirty
hours our brave men consummated their
victory, and appeared before the great city
of the Southwest, to receive its submission.
This is but a foretaste of Southwestern op
erations.
No mention is made .by the
regale of
their ironclad turtles and tams.that were
to annihilate the Yankee fleet, Which leads,
to a suspicion thit-the common estimate
of the rebel motive power, from their own
representation, has been a mistake. It is
pretty clear that on this occasion they
were so frightened they could not stop to
conceal the truth.
Col. Wheeler, late in command of the
Massachusetts seventh regiment, died here
yesterday.
The news of the fall of New Orleans ex
cites general joy.
