A GRAPHIC ACCOUNT OF
rHE BATTLE AT EDWARDS FERRY.

CyTcpoa4.aec d ae Acp Ioft Tm@ (Rp)
EDWARDS FEnpy, UPDerFo'omaq,
Sunday IS 2 Nj.
Tho Union troops have commenced
sheling the Confederatcs on the Virginia
shore across the river, whether merely to
drive them out or as preliminary to an
advance, we shall probably know in the
morning AS | intend to make my let
ter, as far as possible, journal from hour
to hour Of what actually takes place I'M
der my own observation, | shall not at
tempt to anticipate movements, but only
record what | see and hear. The firing
commenced at 30 this afternoon, from
Van Aliens battery oftwo Parrot guns
l2-pounderst the shells going we'll over
to the Virginia side, to the north of
Goose Creek. Their explosion is very
distinctly heard. Seven shells have been
thrown within ten minutes, without eli
citing any response from our friends across
the water. Cen Stone is directing the
movement. The tenth and eleventh
shells fired were long range, tie cxplo-
sion not being heard for ten seconds
The next two uxplodod in five. The di-
rection given to the shells is varied so as
if possible to find out the location Of the
Confedcrates, who are supposed to be
concealed in thick wood to the south
west on the hill, and apparently mile
from the mouth of Goose Creek. Tho
fourteenth sounded like a solid shot, and
the three following shells, which made a
loud explosion, brought no answering
shot from the Confederates.
Az five minutes to 5 z. NJ. the battery
il charge Of Lieut.. Frink, situated in a
field to the southwest aud some quarter
Of mile from the Ferry, also opened
with she'll, the two batteries keeping up
the fire with rapidity, each missile cx-
ploding beautifully. Just as the sun is
going down, the 1st Minnesota and ID
New York come down over the hill, and
take the road to the Ferry. The sun
sets gloriously, rejecting his rays from
the thousands Of bayonets which line the
road. The firing is renewed again from
both Van Aliens and Friuk's batteries.
The troops are marching to the river with
The intention either Of crossing or Of
working feint to do so, with view Of
trying what effect the movement may
have upon the enemy.
The air is perfectly still, and the close
Of This pleasant Sabbath is improssiycly
calm and beautiful The view Of the
Virginia hills from where I stand, near
the battery, IS almost enchanting The
echo of each report Of our guns is heard
from the opposite bills as distinctly as the
report itself, and tho explosion Of each
shell makes tho third distinct report
caused by each discharge. Something
which resembles the sound Of drum
corps is distinctly heard from the Vir-
GINA side. The troops arc drawn up
along the bank in open order, and the
order is now again passed along the lines
to Fall in" There goes n boat-load Of
troops across the river, which looks like
real movement.

were recalled. bat az 2 o'clock three

Direct Taxation.

1t is now authoritatiyely announced
that the receipts of the customs for the
present year will not amount TO moro
than twenty millions Of dollars, ten mil
lions less than even Secretary Chasc's
estimate When the Morrill, tariff was
first enacted it was claimed that the re-
celpts under it would reach sixty millions,
but the circumstances Of the country
have so changed since then that the es-
Inmates Of that period are valucloss now.
IL is evident from this state Of things
that we arc about entering upon a new
era in the financial history Of the coun-
try. Hereafter direct taxation is ainevi-
table, rs custom duties will be- entirely
inadequate 10 the support Of tho govern
mcnt and the payment Of the enormous
debts VIC are contracting. Tho foreign
trade Of the conDtry will, in any event,
be much less for several years 10 come
than il has been in the past, and the de-
felt in our revenues in consequence mus
be provided for in some other way. Tb
