The Collection of tho Revenue.

The Collection Of the Revenue.
Washington dispatch to the N. Y. Her
aid says;
Mr. Chase will urge action in the revenue
question at the earliest possible moment
The exigencies of the Southern forts have 50
FAR precluded its full consideration, but as
they are now nearly met it will come up
within the next few days. It will be the
most delicate, complicated and conseque6 tial
4opic yet submitted to the deliberations of the
Cabinet. A unanimity of opinion exists, it
is true, among the members that the duties
should be collected Of the seeded States
but the ways and means Of collection are eX-
pected to prove serious stumbling blocks.
The naval force at this time at command is
known to be inadequate to the levy OF Gus
toms from quarter decks and at the mouth Of
the guns. 1t is also thought more than prob
able that a like process would result, not
oniy IN difficulties with European powers,
but also in civil war, by melting the revolu-
tionists to take the offensive against The fed
eral government
The Washington correspondent of the
Times writes as follows upon this important
question:
Equally unreasonable are the complaints
that no steps are taken to collect the revenue
in the seeded States. Il is well known that
the revenueS'laWs on the statute books contem-
el-ta- fhe- active cooperation of the people OF
the several SSJHJes IN their enforcement as
well as the acquiescence of the State author
tiles. There must, by the terms Of the Ia ",
be Custom-houses in the seaport towns, with
collectors and other officers, together with
public warehouses in which goods may be
stored tin bond, until the merchant ehotses
to draw them forth. Suits may arise for at
tempted frauds upon the Government, which
suits must be tried before the Federal Courts
and local juries. But in the seceled States
there are no Courts, the Judges, Marshals
and District Attorneys having resigned aud
acknowledged exclusive allegiance to the
State authorities. tits, therefore, impossible
to collect the revenue in the ordinary way.
Mr.. Bingham, of Ohio, in view of this etate
of things, proposed to apply remedy, known
10 the public as the Force bill. This bill pro-
posed TO collect the revenue at the mouths OF
the bays and rivers, by stationing vessels-of-
war at convenient points, to command the
entrances. This bill was held by Mr. B. to
be essential to the object it had in lew, and
was urged upon the House Of Representa-
tives with his usual zeal and ability; but
that body neglected 70 take it up and pass it,
thus leaving the President without the pow
er to collect the revenue in the StEtes which
have taken a hostile attitude to the Govern
ment Mr.. Bingham now consistently admits
that the enforcement of the revenue laws has
become impraotioable by the failure of Con-
gress to take up aud pass his bill At the
door Of that body, therefore, the fault lies,
and not at that of the Executive mansion.--
Mr. Lincoln has been left powerless to en-
force the laws, and yet by the-ignoraht and
unthinking be is held responsible for the
failure.

We condense from the N. Y. Evening Post
a sketch of the life Of Colonel Sumner, who
has just bosn promoted 10 the brigadiershiP
made vacant by the expulsion OF the traitor
Twiggs.
Edward V. Sumner was born in Boston,
Mass, but was a resident of New York in
1919, when be was appointed second lieuten-
ant in the Second Infantry. In 1888 he was
made captain in the newly raised First Reg
iment OF Dragons. From 1919 to ls46 he
was almost constantly engaged in service On
the western frontier. When the Mexican
war broke out he accompanied the expedition
10 New Mexico rs commander Of his regi-
ment but being promoted TO the post of Ma
jor OF the Second Dragons, then in Mexico,
he started TO join them He was met at New
Orleans by an order from General Scott as
signing him to the command Of the regiment
Of Mounted Rifles. AT the battle Of Cerro
Gordo, while leading the Rifles he was
wounded in the head by a musket-ball, but
in few days was able to resume his duties.
10 Puebla he was appointed to the command
Of his own regiment tho Second Dragons.
When the battle Of Cherubusco seemed to
be going against our arms, be led the Rides
in most gallant manner in an attack on the
enemy, which decided the fate Of the day
/ At Molino del Rey be was ordered TO drive
off large body Of cavalry which was en-
deavoring to outAank Worth's division, TC
do this be was obliged to bravo the FIRE o.
some thousands cf the enemy's infantry, 10y
which nearly one-half OF his men and horse
were disabled. With only about two hun
dred men left, he dashed at the lan-ers anC
sent them flying in utter confusion, to returI
no more that day. For his conduct in thi
battle he was breveted Colonel, having pre-
viously received the brevet of Lieutenant
Colonel for his gallantry at Gerro GOrdo.
/ In 1854 he was sent to Europe on oficia
business. In 1855 he was made Colonel 0
the First Cavalry. While in command il
Kansas he gained the good win Of the settler
by his kindness aud if the government ha
followed his advice, most of the subsequen
troubles would have been prevented.
4 General Sumner is about 90 years Of age
but vigorous in both mind and body. Tn
country may rest assured that he possesses tn
requisite qualifications for his high position,

It is stated by leme " Washington authority,
that the evacuation Of Fort Sumter by the
federal troops win not be enough for the e1-
acting seceders, but that they win not permit
Maj. Anderson and his command to leave the
Fort except as prisoners Of war. It's not
likely that such q proposterOus demand viii
be made By the rebels, but If it should, we
hope Maj. Anderson wiIl lay a slow match to
the magazine Of the Fort, and signalize bis
departure By blowing the Fert into ruins,
until not one stone will be left upon another.

II that impor ant territory,


There has been much senseless grumbling
on account Of the fact that so many appoint
ments have already been m m-de at the West
10 The exclusion Of other States Bat 1t
should be remembered that this is only the
consequence of the fact that Mr.. Lincoln,
from his life in the West, is well acquainted
personally with applicants for Office from that
section, and can easily make selections and
dispose OF them; Whale the pressure from other
States is so great, aud his knowledge Of ap-
plicauts so limited, that it is very difficult to
decide judiciously, without considerable de-
liberation. He receives hundreds every day,
and hears patiently what each has to say un-

NEW ORLEANS CUSTOMS.

According to intelligence received here
yesterday, the revenue from customs at New
Orleans is stated at s35,OOO daily. Efforts
will be made to crowd imports there under
the low tariff, and the President has no mode
Of prevention without calling Congress to
gether All the measures for this purpose in
the last Congress had to be abandoned, be-
cause the Democrats of the Senate announced
their intention to defeat every pending bill,
by talking them down if pressed.
THE GOVERNMENT VESSEL MOVEMENT.
All the newspaper speculations, alleging
that the small Government vessels at New
ork were designed for hostile expedition,
are wholly uniounded. They are intended
10 carry supplies to some Of The Southern
garrisons, and to bring home such of the
dispersed troops in Texas, as may be collected
on tine coast When Texas is entirely de-
pFiv.d of the protection, which the large
force of United States secured her against
Indiau incursions, and is harrassed With
marahding bands from New Mexico, the peo-
pie will discover VIII they have gained by
the conspiracy OF Mr. Wigfall and his con-
iederates. They are already beginning to

There is no intention Of abandoning Fort
Piekens, whateyer may be the necessity in
regard TO Fort Sumter. On the contrary,
since the recent military preparations by the
revOlutionists, orders have been sent to land

sloops-of-war to reinforce Lieutenant Slem-
net's command That was Mr.. Holfs order
at the first sign Of hostile pura lose. The

cause assurances were given that no attack
was neditated, and to satisfy the Peace
Convention.

to the commander of his troops at Pensacola.
