PITTSBURGH, MARCH 15, 1862
The Tax Bill-
This all-important bill has at last made
its appearance. On the .fid inst. it was re
ported to the House by Mr. Stevens, Chair
man of the Committee of Ways and Means.
The subject is so extensive, embracing the
whole extent of the country's business
and interests, that much time and labor
were required in perfecting the bill. It
was entrusted first to a sub-committee, and
then examined, item by item, by the whole
of the committee, and so modified as to be
unanimously approved. It hence has a fair
prospect of passing the House without any
, essential alteration. Ten thousand copies
were ordered for distribution, that the coun
try may know its contents; and its consid
eration was ordered for Tuesday the' 1.111..
There are 105, saotdous, being the longest
bill ever presented to Congress. The fol
lowing are its main features:
It prrides for the appointment by the .
President °fa Commimioner of Internal Rev
enue with a salary of five thousand &liars

Department, with a suitable number of
clerks.

ident may direct, into convenient collection
districts, with an assessor and collector ap
pointed by the President for each district,

INcome.--Three per cent. on all over

taxed separately. ' Interest on railroad
bonds and dividends of banks and saving
institutions, three per cent. Payments of
all salaries of officers in the civil, military,
or naval service of the United States, in
cluding Senators and Members of Congress,
three per sent.
Legacies and distributive shares of per
sonal property of deceased persons, from
one to five per cent., according to the de
grees of relationship; and stamp duties on
all kinds of legal and commercial papers ;
all patent medicines, telegraphic messages,
and, all goods by express.
We do not expect that all parties and in
terests in the country will be satisfied. It
would be impossible to form a system of
excise and income taxes universally ac
ceptable. Even if it were perfectly equa
ble, men are too illy informed of the bus
iness of their neighbors, arid,.too much
blinded by prejudice in their' own behalf,
to perceive its justness. We however anti
cipate a very general acquiescence. It is
manifest to all men that taxation is in
dispensable; and it cannot reasonably be
doubted, but that the benefits to flow from
the entirety of the nation, and from the
stability of order which will result from the
entire and thorough suppression of the re
bellion, will far outweigh any amount
which may be paid in taxes. What is our
pfoperty worth it we have no country, no
constitution, and no law to restrain vio
lence ? And what is it that is taxed, but
property ? Only those who have will be'
required to'pay.
It will be seen that it is mainly the lux
uries, or, at most, the conveniences of life,
that are taxed with any thing like a biir
den. And though in many cases, as a mat
ter of necessity, the producer is to pay the
Government, yet the burden will fall ulti
mately on the consumer. Hence it is a
matter of choice with each one how much
(;e,:will pay. No man is bound to drink
spirituous liquors, or beer, or to carry a
watch, or to keep a carriage, or chew tobac
co, or smoke segars. Salt, flour, beef; &c.,
we must all have. These are 'necessaries,
but on them the tax is light; and then we
all want a country—even the poorest of us
—and we want the protection of law, for
person, wife, and children. Every one,
then, ought to contribute something to the
common expense.
Men who deal in money, and who , own
productive stocks, and who have large in
comes, are, by this bill, taxed the most
heavily; but these have the largest interest
in good government, and are the most able
to pay. The farming interest, though so
highly valuable ) escapes with the lightest
burden. We cordially agree to this, for
we hope thereby to get bread, and butter,
and vegetables, and meat, the more cheap
ly. rf Government should tax the farmers
heavily, they would put it upon us poor
folks who must eat, and who need first to
bay.
The tax on railroad and steamboat trav
elling seems a little hard, but we must do
the, less of it. The bill will operate more
heavily on the cities than on the country;
but it will be because there is more wealth
and In.xurious living there.
Upon the whole, we are disposed to ap
prove the bill, even though it taxes the
paper we use, and we are determined to
live just so much more cheaply than for
merly, as to enable us to pay all Govern
ment demands. We go in for recovering
every part of the United States territory,
and are willing to do our full share in foot
ing the bills.

Evattatfon of Manassas.
lifasurweeron, March 11. Centreville, March
11.-Yesterday morning our forces, amounting to
upwards of two thousand, proceeded to Centre
ville and occupied the village at about four o'-
'clock in the afternoon. It was altogether desert
ed. The entire command thence proceeded to
Manassas, arriving there in the evening. The
rebels had destroyed such of their property as
they could not carry away, by fire and otherwise.
The, bridges, railroad tracks and depot in that
vicinity were extensively damaged. Nothing but
wreck and desolation were apparent.
LATE-R.—Upon a closer examinatien it was dis
covered that the rebels, before they evacuated
their much-boasted stronghold, had set fire to
such of their commissary stores as they could not
carry off. The place presented a scene of the
utmost desolation—a mass of charred and black
ened mints. The rebels also blew up the bridges
along the line of the Orange and Alexandria
railroad, for some miles below Manassas, which
were nut of repair. The contrabands state that
all the bridges along the route which they came,
had been blown up by the rebels in their retreat,
and that the greater portion of the track is also
blown up.
Great Naval Battle at Newport News.
Vorcrames Mon - nom, March 9.—The long ex
pected rebel. steamer Merrimac has, at last, made
her app -Barium% and yesterday afternoon, with
the, assistance of two gunboats and the steamers
James/awn mad Yorktown made an attack upon
Newport Neva, and the naval vessels sta
tioned at that place. They all carried the Con
federate flag at the stern. The Merrimac ap
peared to be very low in the water. Her sides,
boW, and stern were covered with sloping iron
plates, extending two feet below the water-line
wd meting above like the roof of a house. .
At her bows on the water-line, were two sharp
iron points, resembling plows, about sir or seven
feet apart.
The design of the enemy did not become ap
parent until between one and two o'clo3k, and
by that Mime the Mannino had got under way for
tube acme of action. The Roanoke flag ship hav
ing bean disabled by the breaking of her shaft,
DORM time since, was taken in tow by two tug
boats.
At *oat the same time the alarm gun of the
Fortress was fired, and the whole garrison turn
ed out ender arms. After being under orders
fer some time, the garrison was dismissed until
tbey should be wanted.
The rebel boats steadily pursued their way to
Newport News, and the - Aferrimac soon turnedthe
point and was lot to view from the,Fortress.
The first shot was fired from the .frigate
Cam
berlandat a little past two o'clock. The Sewell's
Point battery then opened upon the Minnesota,
which was passing, and the Sawyer gun at the
Yip Baps replied with a few shots at Sewell's
The Cumberland and Merrimac were in close
quarters. As the latter approached the Cumber
land she did not pay any attention to the Con
gress, but after firing two guns struck her (the
Cumberland) •withdter sharp bows, making a.jag
gel hole in her side, at water-line, seven feet in
extent.
The Cumberland immediately commenced' to
sink, when the Merrimac, backing a short, dis
tance, run into her a second time,'niakinganoth
er terrible hole, which admitted water at a-furi
ous rate. She _continued • firing until the water
began to enter,her port-holes, ,andafterwards ca
reening over finally sunk at , about 3 o'clock.
The Newport News battery and the guns of the
Camber/and fired continuously upon the Merrimac,
but with no apparent effect.
The Minnesota unfortunately, got aground on
her way up, and could offer ; but little assistance.
Shortly before three o'clock, the Jamestown and
Yorktown arrived from up the James River. The
latter was disabled early in, the afternoon by the
Cumber/and, and put tomhore for repairs.
After sinking the Cumber/and, the Merrimac
turned,her attention to the Congress, and in less
than an hour afterwards a white flag was hoist
ed on board the latter. The , ponfederate gun
boats immediately went alongside of her, and
her officers and marines being taken prisoners,
the seamen were allowed to escape to shore.'
The United States frigate 4E. Lawrence arrived
here during the afternoon, and without dropping
anchor proceeded np the river. She followed
the example of the Minnesota and Roanoke in fir
ing upon Sewell's Point, but, like their's, her
shot fell short.
The gunboat Mystic was also.towed up in the
afternoon.
After 4 o'clock the Merrimac continued to throw
shell into camp at Newport News, while the
Jamestown and other Confederate gunboats com
menced firing upon the Minnesota. The latter
replied as vigorouslf ae possible, and the con
flict was continued without any apparent effect
until dark.
During the evening, the Congress was set on
fire, and made a brilliant spectacle. At mid
night she was blown up with a tremendous ex
plosion. During the evening, the Monitor sr,
rived very opportunely, and at once proceeded
up the river, although not prepared for action,
to take her part.
But little damage was done at Newport News,
and no one was killed.
On Sunday morning the Monitor engaged the
Merrimac for three hours, and finally succeeded
in forcing a large hole in her-port side, and she,
with the whole of the Confederate fleet, returned
to Norfolk.
The Minnesota received several shots, but is not
seriously damaged.
At about one &clock, the U. S. gunboat Oregon
was struck by the Merrimac
. ba .her.boiler, and
was blown up. . The gunboat ~Zonsoe was also
seriously damaged, and was obliged to return.
The principal loss of life was on board the
Ctimberland, where, it is thought, as many as a
himdred and fifty must have been killed• or
drowned. Bat six lives were lost on the Min-
A rebel gunboat was out in two by the CUM
berland. " •
The Congress irsupposed to have lost over one
hundred; including. but one officer.
The iflonitar,has:.come up to .the expectations
that were
. entertaind pf her, and has ,proved
herself impregnable to the, heaviest shot, at close
final-ten. She behaintrieniarkably well on her
passage from New-York4 and although the sea
covered her deoks.completel. at tunes, her speed
did not seem at all diminished. .
. .
Capt. Warden, of the * Monitor, VW wounded in
the head. No other' accidett of any kind oc
curred to the battery or crew.
The armament of the Monitor, or Ericsson Bat
tery, consists of two 11-inch columbiads. She
is also pierced for musketry. The Merrimac ar
mament consists of four 11-inch navy-guns on
each side, and two 100-pounder Armstrong, guns
at the bow and' stern,
The _Merrimac did not make her appetsrance on
Monday. The Monitor was honored with_salutee
and cheers, both from the fort and the fleet.
Everybody was.ent'husiastic•in her praise, for the
good service she•rendered yesterday.
From: the Upper and Lower Potomac.
We have• important news from the tipper Poto
mac. Leesburg is now.in possession of the Na
tional forces.. Col. Geary, on Friday night, 7th
inst., left Lovettssille ' with his whole command,
and marching through Wheatland and Waterford,
taking a number of prisoners on the Way,reaohed
PRESBYTERIAN BANNER-SATURDAY, MARCH 15, 1862. ,
the vicinity of Leesburg at sunrise on Sat
urday morning, took possession of FOrt Johnson,
from which the rebels had fled, and 'soon after
ward entered the town with flags flying and bay
onets fixed. Gen. Hill, in command of the reb
els, retreated precipitately toward Middleburg,
and our foroes soon occupied not only the town,
but all the surrounding forts, Many rebels are
reported to have been taken prisoners , . and large
quantities of stores were captured. The impor
tance of this success of the National arms can
hardly be estimated at present.
The news from the Lower Potomac is also im
portant. A dispatch from Washington in
forms us that on Saturday afternoon the rebels
at Cockpit Point commenced burning their
tents and other things difficult to remove, togeth
er with the steamer Page and all the other craft
in Quantico Creek. Our gunboats then moved
up and opened fire on the rebel batteries about 8
o'clock, and about an hour and a half afterward
a force of our men landed and run up the Stars
and Stripes on the works. Full particulars of
this important change in the condition of affairs
on the LoWer Potomac have not reached us, and
there is no explanation of the cause of the sudden
evacuation by the, rebels.
From Gen. Curtis,Army.
Sr. Louis, March 10, 8:26 P. M. The follow
ing is an official dispatch to Maj.-General Mc-
Clellan, at Washington:
The Army of the South-west; under General
Curtis, after three dayis' hard fighting, has gained
a most glorious victory over the combined forces
of :Van Dorn, McCulloch, Price,

From the South-itlantie Squadron.
BALTIMORM, March D.—The U. S. steamer
Alabama, Captain Lanier, arrived here this
morning direct from Fernandina, Fla, bringing
Capt. Davis, late Flag Officer of the South At
lantic squadron, as bearer of 'dispatches from
Commodore. Dupont to the Navy Department, an
nouncing the capture of Fernandina and Bruns
wiok by the fleet under his command.
The first point of coast approached was the
town of Brunswick, Georgia, the enemy aban
doning their works" and precipitately fleeing at
the approach of the gunboats. It was taken pos
session of and the gunboats left in charge. This
gives the Government control of the whole coast
of Georgia from South. Carolina to Florida.
Brunswick being disposed of, the fleet moved
twenty miles further to Cumberland Sound, the
entrance to the harbor of Fernandina.
When the expedition came in sight of Fort
Clinch, the rebels were discerned making a hasty
flight, and fired two or three random shots from
the barbette guns of the fort,.
liThis is the first of the old Southern forts of
the Union that has been recovered since the proc
lamation of the .President, declaring that they
should be restored to the Union.
When the expedition came in sight of Fort
Clinch, the rebels were discerned 'making a
hasty flight. They fired two or three shots at
random from the barbette guns of the fort.
The shells of the fleet having caused a hasty
evacuation. Fort Clinch was immediately taken
possession of, and the flag of -the Union raised
on the old staff, which had been so long dis
graced by the traitor colors.
Twelve large guns fell into our possession, in
cluding one immense rifled gun of- 120-pound
calibre.
The expedition accomplished its mission on
the 4th of March, the anniversary of the inaug
uration of President Lincoln. The troops of
Gen. Wright were landed, and Coin. Dupont
handed to his possession the forts and earth
works, which were quickly garrisoned. Most of
the male inhabitants of Fernandina had fled, and
the city was also taken possession of. This has
been one df the most useful ports to the rebels, a
large number of vessels having run the bhickade
here.
Bars Mercantile College, Pittsburgh.
The foundation. of this noted establishment,
nearly a quarter of a century ago, says the Law
rence Journal, formed a new era in Commercial
education. With the accumulated experience of
nearly twenty years in inland and maritime com
merce, the Principal at once enlarged the bounda
ries of the Merchant's education to a regular
Collegiate course of study. His success soon
filled the country with imitators, few, if any, of
whom, ever had any practical experience as Mer
chants or Accountants, their attempts to teach
the practice of what they never practiced them
selves, amounts to nothing more than that of
Common Schools. All experience proves that it
is to the practical business man alone that we
must look for reliable instruction in the Commer
cialoprofession. By the new Circular of this
time-homired establishment, we perceive that its
students trom all quarters retain an indelible im
pression of the perfection of 'their training. for
business.

The Hopse proceeded to the consideration of
the bill to Authorize the Secretary of the Treas
ury to purchase coin, and for other purposes.
Mr. Pendleton, of Ohio, inquired of Mr. Ste
yens whether, in his, opinion, it was necessary to
authorize the sale of the $500,000;000 of bonds,
recently authorized, in order to realize sufficient
coin for the payment of .the interest., which could
not amount to more, next July, than forty mil
lions on the six hundred and fifty millions of in
debtedness.
Mr. Stevens, of Pa., said he did not think it
was necessary, but it was found by the Secretary
of the Treasury that these bonds cannot be sold
excepting at , a great sacrifice, which he did not
choose to make; hence, he suggested the passage
of this bill, so that the specie section of there=cently enacted United States , note law may not
be repudiated. Mr. Stevens added, in reply,
that the new five hundred million bonds have not
been issued.
Mr. Pendleton expressed himself satisfied with
the explanation, Wand would vote for the bill.
He; however, offered an amendment, which was
agreed to, reasserting that the demand notes
shall be receivable for duties on imports with
this exception. The bill was then passed as ori
ginally introduced.

Whole on the State of the Union, the bill regu
lating the franking privilege being nominally

NEw-Y,oas, March 10.—The steamer my of
Washington has arrived, with Liverpool advices
, of the 26th ult. Adviees from Gibraltar to the
ar6th say that the rebel pirate S umter stilt lay
there with no signs of departure. The United
States steamer Tuscarora remained in Spanish
waters off Algezira.
A telegraph from Madrid dated the 26th, states
'that the captain of the Sumter had been arrested
at. Tangiers at the instance of the American Con
oils and the commander of. the Tusearora, — who
went to Tangiers for the purpose. , ,

ton's birthday by a public breakfast: Dr. Merl
value, Bishop of Ohio, .presided. Minister Ad
ams, Consul Morse, two Secretaries of Legation,
Cyrus W. Field, Dr MacGowan and others were
present. Mr. Adams, in a patriotic speech to the
memory of Washington, said that it was well for
Americans to think of his course at this time; the
country was in the midst of a crisis long fore
seen and feared, but by imitating Washington's
great virtues they would conquer and subdue the
malign power which has sought to rule or ruin.
The struggle is fearful, but there is no alterna
tive. The assault upon the Government of the
United States carries with it an aggressive prin
ciple which, if not defeated, must in the end be
fatal to freedom.
The health of the Queen and President Lincoln
were drank with enthusiasm.
Dr. MacGowan, in speaking to the latter eulo
gized President Lincoln's administration. George
Thompson asserted that the effort to create in
England hostility to the North had totally,failed.
Consul Morse denounced the curse of Slavery
as the sole cause of the trouble.
Cyrus Field proposed a toast to England and
America, and spoke strongly' in favor of the
maintenance of friendly relations. He explained
away many irritating subjects, and asserted that
it was the most earnest desire of the Washington
Government to maintain amicable relations. He
d not for a moment believe that England could
vocognize the Southern Confederacy, the corner
stone of which is slavery.

in the 65th year of her age.
She lost her husband, John Skinner, 4 0 0
eight years ago. The family was from Franklin

Stuart, aged 14 years and 3 months.
DUD—In Elizabeth Township, Allegheny Co.,
Pa., February 9th, 1862, after a severe illness
of sotne twci months, Mrs. SARAH, wife of Mr.
Thomas Finton, aged about 88 years.
DlED—March Ist, 1882, in Mifflin Tp., Alle
gheny County, Pa., after a lingering. illness,
more or less severe ' extending through a period
of two years, Mrs. MARY ANN, - wife of William
Whigham, Esq., aged near 48 years.
A husband, two sons, and two daughters sur
viie to mourn with other friends their loss, and
rejoice in her eternal gain. 'Eighteen years and
three months ago she united on profession of
her faith with the First Presbyterian church,
M'Keesport, •Pa., of which she continued- a
worthy member her death. Of her real in
terest in religion many pleasing evidences remain.
Many fervent prayers for her family, the Church,
and the world, 'are registered on high ; and many
earnest exhortations to her family , and friends,
to meet her in heaven, are remembered.
DIED—July 29th, 1861, MARGARET ELLA,
oungest and only surviving daughter of 0. J.
and M. M. Floyd, Cumberland, 0., aged 12
yeare, 8 months, and 5 days.
Ella Floyd was, naturally, of a serious, amia
ble, and pleasant disposition.' Although she en
joyed the company and plays of those of her
age, she was thoughtful of the future. She
loved the house of. God and the Sabbath School.
Seldom was she absent from either. The Scrip
tures were her delight—many portions of it she
committed. Nearly three years before her death,
she made a profession of religion. Her evidence,
when taken into the church, her Christian de
portment, and her conversation upon a dying
bed, give us good ground to believe that she was
influenced by a sincere love to the Saviour. But
the Lord was pleased to take Ella to himself.
She was stricken with severe sickness. It was
short but painful, but no murmur escaped her
lips. A holy resignation influenced her heart.
When asked if she would net like to get well,
she replied, "Yes, if it is the will of God." She
sent kind messages to many of her friends when
she thought she was going to die, urging them to
follow Christ, and meet her in heaven. This
lovely flower, though cut doWn here, blooms, we
doubt not, in eternal life. What an encourage
ment to parents, early to consecrate their chil
dren to God, and to labor for their conversion:
What a motive to the young to seek the Saviour
of Ella! D.
DIED—At his residence, in Pittsburgh, Pa.,
February 24th, 1862, of typhoid fever,
in con
nekion with hemorrhage of the lungs, JOHN L
LOGAN, Bsq., in. the'27th year of his age.
The deceased was a:member of the Pittsburgh
Bar, and was rising to positions of:influence and'
usefulness. While, to our short-sighted vision,
it seems an inscrutable providence which has
called him away in the midst of his days, just
after he had gathered around him the endear
ments of home, and so soon after he had found
the "pearl of great price," yet the Lord bad
need of him in a higher and a better sphere.
The language of the Master to his sorrowing
friends is, " What I do thou knoWest not now;
but thou shalt know hereafter." Mr. Logan
united himself with the people of God a little
more than a year before' his death. Immediately
he entered with hearty devotion . upon the duties
of the Christian life. His 'place was seldom va
cant in the prayer-meeting and public worship
of God's house. In his own family, too, the
altar of prayer was erected, upon which burned,
with sweet incense, the morning and evening
sacrifice. He was sick three weeks, during
which, though bound to earth by the tenderest
ties, he was resigned to the will of a covenant
keeping God.
The evening before he died, being asked if he
still loved. Jesus,: and if his hope in him was
firm, he replied, "Yes ; if I die to-night, • I will
be with Jesus in the'morning." 'Soont after this
he became insensible, and had but few conscious
moments until he was called away.
So has passed away a Christian lawyer. Even
as • his feet have trodden our earthly courts," so
shall they tread the courts above in the last day,
Well has one 'said, "They are the dead, and
dying, who are detained in the present world ; ;
they are theliving who have passed the bourne
whence no traveller returns."' The Christian
dying, languishes into life; and in joyous ex
ultation: exclaims: "I live I I'am released from
a community of the dead I This is my birth ! I
have never. liVed"before ! I now live !"
0 that many more of his profession might be
ed to follow him, even as he followed Christ.
