Yorke, although only a private, to
take the command, which he did, and
led them in their gallant charges.
The Seventy First was one of the few
regiments engaged throughout the

Mr.. Yorke wears three bullet holes in
his coat and a slight wound, a mere

worn by our sister States, will be

The new Tariff and Internal Tax

Glade the proposition for the estab-

originally contained, all of the provlS-
ions on that subject having been strlck-
en- out by the Committee OF Confer
ence. This fact seems clear, notWlth-
standing the contradictory represen-
tations of some of the newspapers. s
Mr.. Stevens, the Chairman OF the
House Committee Of Ways and Means
in his remarks explaining the report
Of the Committee of Conference said,
"The excise duty, which the House
nroyided for, is entirely omitted IN
this BILL" From other explanations
he made on that occasion, 1t seems
that the new duty on coffee VIII oe

cents. on raw sugar two cents, on
chiccory unground one cent, and CHIC
cory ground two cents, on BRANDY

re,u He also said in relation to bond
ed merchandise, that call goods al
ready imported, or which are now on
shipboard, will come in under the oa-
ties which existed at the time that

BUSINESS PROSPECTS. -The present
is a season of the year when. under
any circumstances, general business
would be at stand still; and of
course no material change in that re-
spect cen be looked for now. But
the returning confidence of the bus
dness community in the strength and
duration of the government is having
"a most excellent effect in opening the
way for the resumption of business,
rwhen its natural season comes round.
Business men take heart because they
see, in these indications, an earnest OF
khe end. There is no longer the room
Where was for doubt and apprehension.
Confidence resumes sway, because ev-
cry sound reason is in favor of it ;
and when the time arrives, it will re-
animate business with rapidity that
syill surprise and rejoice. The rebel
resources of the country were never
larger than now and the very sus.
s,ension of enterprise will only make
CHE future demands upon it all the
greater.
