THE NEW ISSUE
The Democrats are hunting around fpr a
new issue on which to re-, rganit,their bro
ken up party. Mr. dead C. VAN Loin of
New York, thinks he has it. In a
letter to VALLANDIGH A he says:
"The candidate was a: gloat a failure in a

The proposal of the Commissioner of In
ternal Revenue to g levy a tax on sales is
heartily approved by the eastern papers.—
One of these estimates that a tax:of one per
cent. on the sales of goods throughout the.
country would yield millions per annum.
Of course so heavy and, so general a tax
would involve the adandonment of many of
the mitfor taxes ; and if the adoption of this
policy should wipe out a long list of taxes
which now yield more vexation than reve
nue, the country would hail the change as a
great relief.
The system adopted in 'Europe, where
taxation is a science, is to tax as few articles
as possible, and so simplify the details as to
make them easily understood. In this coun
try the plan seems to be to tax everything,
and complicate the whole matter.instead of
simplifying it. The sooner we abandon this
course the better. In Europe the main por
tion of the revenue is do rived from four
sou rein ; and although our circumstances are
ditf Tent, we can easily imitate thn simplici
ty of the English system, without adopting
its d tails.
If a tax of ono per cent. on salos—includ
ing alb sales, from first, second and third
hands--will produce two hundred millions,
in the name of all that is good, let is drop
the puny taxes on tuatvlies; patent midiobnes,
meat, slauglitoted for sale, and the other
numberless annoying taxes which provoke
deceit and evicealment, and yield but little
revenue. Let us get down to the main sour
c,o of ri , vcnue—whi-key, toliocco, oil,
,tamps, ineomos, corporation; and sales—and
abandon tho little dribblos, which coniu4c
by their. num hor and the intricacy of the
Tachinery thoy inv,ike, without producing
enough rovenuo to pay the co • t of collection.

who encourage free sellouts, and all the ac

place Maryland in the position among the
Free States that she should have occupied

Union, publielled in Caroline county, is tm
indication of the revolution taking place.,
Mr. James G. Redden has sold his farm,
near town, containing near three hundred
acres, to Mr. Jacob L. Zook, of Comberland
countg, Poinvlrania, for 11),001.). It is a
healthy and desirable residence.
Mr. Redden has also sold the "Mansion

Wm. Jones, near Andersontown, to Mr. J.
W. Kline, 'of Cuntbcrtand county, Pennsyl
vania, but at what price we have nut
Mr. Redden also sold his Thirroville fare
near the Delaware line, to Mr. Tobias Mil
ler, of Ptelbertanci county, Pennsylvania, con.
lathing one hundred acres, for $3,-51:19 3
We have always understood that the land
in Ctirolitiois among the poorest in the State,
and believe: that the prices above specified
remarkably good. The Union, in com
menting „on
,the above sales says : "We

ONE OF THE RESULTS
Report of the-N'ovy-Department
. This document affords a fine picture of the
rapid progress and glorious aehievemerits,cif
our navy during the past year: Of the pas
:sages yelating to iho:eventa ef , that petiod
'we haVe not spaeo•'now. to speak, ,were it
necessary. But the exhibit of the paved,
force is something demanding attention.-1-,
We have now-671 vessels, .carrying 4610 guns,
and of an --"aggregate tonnage 'of 510,396.
Other natives may exceed these figures, but
in point of efficiency there is now no navy
surpatsing ours. We have no less than 71
iron-clad vessels of war, carrying 275 guns.
But the pride of our ocean navy are undoubted
ly our 113 wooden steamers, built especially
for war, and carrying I.l26"guns, of the abil
ity whereofth o Kersarge has borne testimony.
Secretary Welles again repeats his agent
recommendation to Congress to accept League
Island from the city of Philadelphia, and
establish thereon a great naval depot nit'
iron-clad vessels. We trust that Congress
will adopt this sugfiestion, and thus relieve
the department of much of the embarra,s
!tient under which it new labors. The ar
gotnents he advances in support of his sug
gestion are very important. As had been
anticipatyd, Mr. Welles recommends the es.
tablishment of the grade of vice-admirul in
the navy. and that the rank be conferred on
Rear Admiral D. G. Farra,gut, for his bril
liant services in the NlississiPpi river and in
Mobile day, in which we think the loyal
masses everywhere will most heartily con
cur. The number of naval prizes captured
since the. commencement of the war is giv•
en at 1379, o Which 267 were steamers, and
the gross proceeds of salt , thereof $14,386.
Hi. , nett proceeds above expenses being.

United states government as a naval pension
fund. The expenditures of the De
partment during the fiscal year were

The General sat in an army chair, over

the darkness beyond, Its though striving to

presents a paper Mr endorsement. Sher
uunt•s eyes fall ; in an instant he knows its

Alps...dictate the endorsement, which Captain
Dayton's admirable business practice enables
him to comprelm , d at once. Shernian's
eyes once more peer out ; his ear is .turiltd .
to catch the clear music of the Three Shep
herds ;This head seems to move involuntarily
in harimony with the notes ; the simple re
mark, "beautiful !" escapes hiin ; his eyes
drop to the lloor—rest there for a moment
so intently that one supposes he is sketching
a 1; ur munths's campaign on his great wind
—the eves are raised abruptly, and he utters
a few brief words that show us -he loves
Music, and has a very nice discrimination
between good and bad.
-He detects every error, and follows it by
a nervous twitch of the body that shows it

The reader will have ohserved that in the
proceedings had in tho Supremo Court'. - of
the -United States on Wednesday last ; iti
commemoration of the death of (Thief Jus
tice Tairiey, that magistrate was styled .the
Mt in the line:of our Chief Justices.
in other places he has been styled die fourth,
and in still others the sixth, it may be inter
eAintr to some readere to know the origin of
this Xiseropancy. The variation results from
the omission or inclusion of otte_or other or
Lo It of the names of John Rutiedge and Wil
liam Cushing, of whom the former was 'ap
pointed cilia 30,tico by Pre
sident Wash
ington, and took his BVal, 611 tint bench, but
was rejected by the Senate, and of whom the
latter was appointed by the President and
confirmed by the Senate, but never acted in
that capacity. The circumstances of their
respective cases are 1 . 01 ows :
While John Jay was ab - Sent in England,
engaged in the negotiation of the British
treaty yf 1794, he was chosen Governor of
the :ham of New York. Anticipating his
resignation of the otlice of Chief J ustiec,
Pres:den t. Washington offered the vacant
post to John Rutledge, of South Carolina.
In fCt, Mr. Jay . ,resi natiomwas received
on the 3th of June, 1,95, end on the fol
lowing day the President ordered the com
mission of }lr. Rutledge as Chief Justiee to
be made out of as that date.
