WHAT is To BE DONE WITH THE Prisoners p
Under the head of what is be done with the pirates
the Washington correspondent of the Philadelphia
Inquirer has the following
This question is seriously discussed in the cabi
net without any definite answer being arrived at.
stated at the same time that the administration
had decided not to hang any of the sailors taken
board Of southern privateers. The decision made
not from any feeling of clemency towards the captured
sailors, hut from motives Of policy
The result of the Inauguration of such a policy
would be the ndiscriminate murder of hundreds OF
prisoners in the hands Of the rebels including many
valuable citizens and the enactment Of Of her
r0r unequaed by those Of the French revolution.
The administration therefore, decided, as have said
not to hang any of tile pirates. But within day
or two the. question has been again raised i'll the
cabinet At least one member Of that body is in
favor as he expresses it, Of describing all squeamish
nonsense and of hanging every rebel found in arms
against the government whether taken the sea OF
land This is undoubtedly the that ought to be
taken, if the government regards this matter as simply
an Instruction This is the view taken Of by pres
dent Lincoln, and he too although he deplores the
necessity of such dreadful measures is in favor Of such
course as will show to the world that are i'll earn
est in this matter, and that the traitors found in arms
against the government must expect and receive q
traitors doom. Mr.. Bates and Dir. Blair both 60 for
IRENE measures, regardless Of consequences; and Mr.
Smith also entertains The same views

THE DIRECT TAX BrLL.-The telegraph announces
that congress has passed, unanimously, bin leyying
direct for the support OF the government and the
prosecution OF the war
The rate fixed is onehaf ofone per cent adyalorem
or fifty cents the hundred dollars worth of property
The rate is low in consideration of the purpose to
which the money is to be applied and the objects to be
attained but it is sufficiently high to produce an income
ample for the purposes of the government,
The principal of direct taxation is the correct pnci-
pie for the raising of revenues, just to all parties fair
and equabe 1t is the policy pursued by the individual
States Had direct taxes prevailed in the old Union
instead of discriminating and oppressive tariffs the
south would have been, to-day many millions of dollars
the richer. The protective policy not only unjust
and onc-sded but the fruitful of extravaganza
speculation and personal and official corruption.
We have grand object before us-the independence
of the southland we shall most assuredy secure it
1t is worth paying for and paving highly for. Itwoud
be cheap at almost any We cannot afford to sur
render the vantage ground we have already gained and
we must forward to the aid OF our government to
enable it to complete the undertaking so auspicously
commenced
There are some who expect to enjoy all the benefits
Of an independent government who have not contributed
one dollar to help in this great struggle. Men Of
great wealth have held back and done nothing for a
cause the of which will benefit them most OF
all They will be reached by this tax, and made to
contribute their just and proportionate share of the
common cost. They have thus far done nothing for
the brave soldiers who to serve and their country
have abandoned their business pursuits sacrificed then
personal interests and pered their lives on the bloody
/ field Of battle.
The money will all he expended in the Confederate
States and will gradually get back into the hands Of
the people 1t will be lost 1t will not go beyond
our limits The north has tainted US with being bank
rupt in both money and credit Let the alacrity and
cheerfuness with which respond to this call upon

answered to their slanderons accusations of cowardee

This congregation has been organised for the purpose Of

the last offices to the dead There many ISraetes

the observance of their distinctive tenets, have beer
enabled to have appointed worship. We wish them
