It is not an ephegxeral party ( ;,nor does it change its name'and purposes to suit every wind of political doctrine.

But in order to, be successful, when the timeldr action again aririves, It will be necessary to get rid of many incumber ances which impeded our efforts in the late canvass. We quite agree with an intelligent contemporary which says; This great tvotk should spring from the inept ration of \ht people, Jed by Lreeh. and vigorous minds, unconl tiutuHte.i with the fatal propen sity to official positlou wMch has corrupted bo of our polli lciaus.

Upon the Democratic press win rest to agreni degree the responsibility of ehligbtening the people In reference to this important subject, and ae a member of that fraternity, we wil take an early opportunity to enter upou a dis cussion of those grave questions which’have yet a vital interest to 'the American people.

Mt Stevens Csays the Booth- in intro ducing his new bill, will make a speech showing how it is in analogy with the conduct of some of the most illustrious statesmen of all ages. There was that ancient Creek sage, who wanted to drink up the river to get at the moon; there was the noble Chinese chief, who beat his gong during to keep the dragon from swallowing the sun; there was Phillip the Handsopie of Prance, who used to raise money for his pleasures by mixing copper with his gold, declaring the pieces of undimin- Ished value; there were the Puritans of England, who increased the virtues of wqmen hy itheir top knots,- there'was that great Mrs. Partington, who kept off an inundation by swabbing it up with her broom; there were French kings who used to prescribe bow much each of the subjects should eat efid drink; in short there .are any number of distinguished precedents lor both the logic add the practices of the great statesman of Pennsylvania. How Savannah or Beaufort may be Beached. The Augusta Chronidle, oi the 4th in stant, Which has been received here, says: ' / • •‘The fact that Sherman’s iarmy, has reached Millen, settles the question that its direciien is towards Savannah. The route, however, is yet to be determined. He may move hlswholejarmy direct to Savannah by the old road from Augusta, or he may move across Scrlveu county and Beaufort district, S. C., crossing the' Savannah 1 river, to form a junction with General jPoitbr ,at Grahamsville, or he may divide his;army and march a sec tion by each rotite. “Foster’s advance, together with the sending up of signals, indicate that he expected to meet Sherman, but the lat ter failed to come to time. “Thepoint to he gained. by the .cap ture of Grabsrbsville was to cut off -rein forcements from Augusta to Savannah. This would place Savannah at his mercy, as he wonld use Port Royalfor a base, and then proceedtoithe ulti mate object of bis. campaign—dhc cap ture of Savannah, or perhaps Charles ton. He would hardly, risk a fore Savannah with only the supplies' he has on hand, and will..first .secure his base at Port Hoyal. In view of these considerations, no matter wiat ftints W' |jnair 1 ffc will aim to reaeff me pomt'where-Foster, is now waking for him.” ~ The Savann&hJTw* .of the 3d inet., has a glowing report ot how Wheeler whipped and ppreaed-.Kilpatrick near > WaynfiBbO'r6i'! .»v«i ■«-• text « ...* The contest for .

One thousand drillers is but a small sum /out of wjiich a.poor man has io .clothe and fegd himself anfl family,. and ydt that amn is the maximutn income of three* fourths of the heads of families in the country. Out of that sum he baa-to pay city, county and State taxes, nil of which have been largely increased, And in addition this year has to, pay eight per cent, on the excess aver six filin' dred dollurs. His income tax. is tfility two dollars. His neighbor who has half a million invested in federal: bonds bearing six per cent..interest payaMe in gold; an income equal .in treasury notes to seventy five.’thoUßahd dollars, pSys no income tax at ait , Be “toils not, neither does he' spin,” he . adds flot a. dollar to the prodnctive.

This is wholly nnjustr The exemption from taxation of capital, and jthe collection o revenue from labor, is wholly unjust and falls with oppreaslve severity upon a class least able to bear it. A half dozem'toen may club their cap ital together and engage in selling dry goods; if their income reached seventy-' five thousand dollars duringthe year 1308, they have had to pay to the gov ernment a' tax of six thousand dollars, while if they had invested that same sum in government bonds, they would have realized the same profit, and have been exempt from the payment of income tax. A mechanic, hrtizatl, ptofesaiorial man, publisher, merchant, or any other m.an .whose earnings «tf£, the j>i oduct of jhiitjwn industry;, iahor, ! skill - and brains, is made to hand over eight per cent, of his income of 1803, to the federal government, while the individu al whose profits are net the result of la bor or brains, or skill or any other known productive character, who re ceives his interest because it is paid over to him, whose profits tall to him as the rain falls without any effort on his part, is exempt from taxation, and contributes nothing to the support of the govern ment. It is trqc this money is loaned to the government. He has loaned to the government a half million of dollars in green-backs, and he draws his interest in gold, equal in green backs to fifteen per cent. The man who loans money at fifteen per cent, has never in the his tory of the world been regarded as any very special benefactor to the unfortu nates who are compelled to borrow of him ; and on the score of “friendly ac commodation” the recipient of fifteen percent, interest in “lawlul money ’ certainly has no very particular claims to the forbearance of the party who thus fills his coffers. The man whose funds are invested in business, and who pays. Id the shape of licences and income tax. a snm exceeding eight per cent, of his whole income, is in fact a greater bene factor to his country than the man whs pays no v taxer, but draws from the Fed eral treasury fifteen per cent, per annum for the treasury notes he has loaned to the government. . - This exemption is unjust nor another reason. It is taxing the producing clas ses to pay bounties to the non-produc ers. man .with the bumble,total income of one'thousand dollars has to pay thirty-two dollars tax to the Fed eral Government, to enable it to pay some cither man fifteen per cent, interest on a loan to the United States. If the thirty-two dollars was the only tax he had to pay, while the injustice. Would not be less, the oppression would not be so severe. The greatest direct injury, however, is to the general business interests of the Government. Capital, so long as ap plied to productive industry is taxed enormously. It is taxed at every step and turn; it is' taxed in the hands of the munufacturer, the merchant and the consumer, and then taxed upon its profits. But capital withdrawn from the commercial, manufacturing and ag ricultural pursuits, and invested in fed eral securities, is exempt from taxation and yields an unprecedented profit. The result of this policy is, that the capital of the country is changing its investments rapidity. It is rushing to that haven where taxation is unknown. It is being withdrawn from the branches of indus try from which the Government draws largely its revenue, and Is seeking that other shape that most ultimately break down any financial system. The Income tax law should bo revised. There should be no exemption, each man should pay in proportion to his in come: if any discrimination be made, it should be, the greater the income the greater the rate of taxation should, be. The annual income of a hundred thou sand dollars can bear with .ess suffering and less inconveni.uce a tax .of twenty per cent., than can the income of one thousand dollars bear a tax of eight per cent. But the law as it stands-hunts with pertinacious particule fity the per sons whose incomes in a’- majority of cases are only sufficient tqr .AJie actual support of their families because of a denial of many comforts hitherto deem ed U demands of, them a liberal share of the “excess,’’ 'when in fact there is and can be no excess.

The damage which haß been done to the Dutch Hap Canal, by Jfie continued khhfiihg of the Con federate ’batteries on -the - south - side of the- James; Ties at length a Federal movement. On Wednesday last s brigade of negro troops was sent up the James, a shoit distance above the canal, and embarked on.,pontoons. TEey crossed over and marcUed down the southern bank until -a- point opposite the canal was reached. Tito Confederate sharpshooters were driven Off and the negroes: began en .tyenchlpg. During the night a rifle pit was dbg, and On Thursday morning the position.- was secure. Very few men were killed Or-wounded on either side. As the Confederate force was sbccessfnl in stopping labor on the canal,by break ing tlie drudging machines, it is now to be seetowbether Grant will replace the machines and renew tbe labor free from molestation. The Confederate ironclads moved down the Jameson Thursday end came within range of Dntch Gap Up to Saturday, however, ho hostilities tod occurred, ' and tbe. Confederates made no to drive thebegroea away.. The Various reports of a general advance of Grant's southern wing to ward Stony Creek Station, on tbe Wel don railroad, which have been preva lent Tor some days are at length con firmed by definite intelligence. War ren's .Corps, one division of Hum phreys’, and Gregg’Sv.rayalryt began 8 southern march on Wednesday last. They imbTched down the Jerusalem road, and'crossed the Nottawsy River on a pontoon bridge. They are now dntofffromcommunicationwithGrant's army, and have not been heard from for some days. This advance is directly south. Us'object cannot yet beascer -jtained:- ~., '- • ; We irave some intelligence'Trom the Shenandoah Valley. General Sheridan will attempt no movement south from Winchester this season. He is now at Winchester in this old camp. He has about fifteen thousand men. Three of his brigades were sent last week to rein fotef Grant. The Confederates south of Winchester make no demonstrations. They have recently removed the rails lYomthe railroad between Manassas aud Oordnnville, in northern Virginia, and carried them to Richmond. At Nashville Ibe condition of affairs is the same as usual. Hood is still la boring on his earthworks. It Is report ed that reinforcements are being sent to Thomas. The detachment of Federal troops that held Johnsonville, bat were, forced to evacuate it and retreat into Kentucky, were terribly barrasaed in their inarch, Thirteen are.reported kill ed and wounded and sixteen captured. The latest report of the losses at (he recent battle of Franklin makes the Fed eral loss nearly twenty-two hundred. There is nothing new from Sherman's army. It is almost certain that he is marching on Savannah and that Fob ter’s advance np Broad River to Gra hamsvilie, which is very near the Savan nah River, Was Intended to make a junction with Sherman. Sherman has not been beard from since be moved from Millen. Foster is still near Gra bamsville, protected by his gunboats. Heavy cannonading was heard there at last accounts from Hilton Head, and tbe Con federates Were thought to have at tacked Foster, and attempted to drive him off. No result is known, hewever. Frsnob and Southern Intrigues in Sonora. The Panama Herald says that infor mation has been received in Ban Fran cisco, lately, to the effect that Dr. Gwin has obtained, through the ibfiuence of the Emperor Napoleon, andin his inter est, a commission from Maximilian as Governor General of the.Btqte of Sonora, with authority to induce emigration and settle in the country, and power to grant lands. In settling the preliminaries of this mission, Napoleon is said to have asked Gwin if he .desired any guaranties for religions freedom, &c., to which the embryo Governor responded, carelessly, “Oh, anything you please ; I don’t care,” or words to that effect. In pur suance of this arrangement, Gwin has arrived in Mexico. Wbat particular purpose Napoleon has to serve through him can only be conjectured. The action of Napoleon is pronounced by the Panama Herald as a prelimi jrary step to establish a French colony on the Pacific coast. The following is an indication of what is transpiring all over the country. The Boston' Traveller says : The Massachusetts banks are adopting the National banking organization with a rush, and probably, ere the lapse of many months, but few of the banks of the State will continue to act under their State charters. It was thought that some of the hanks in Boston would hold out, but it is believt d that they will gen erally succumb. The President of one of our Boston institutions declared the other day that his hank would wind up rather than adopt the new system ; but when a meeting of the stockholders was held, they toted unanimously to carry on the bank under the National plan.
