also recommend q special tax on
tea, coffee, sugar, and money, tobs
pledged for the payment Of inter-
est on Government debts.
The President has determined
not to entertain any proposition Of
peace until the rebellion is entirely
subdued.
1t is said the steamer Freeborh
was SO severely treated in the re-
cent conflict that she will be con-
demned. She is a new boat.
1t appears that Government does
not regard the occupation of Har.
per's Ferry at present as of any i'm.
portance, now that everything Of
value has been destroyed.
The Massachusetts First, Regi-
ment has applied to the War De-
partment to permit them to cele--
brate the Fourth of July somewhere
on Virginia soil. Tie answer is
not yet known.
The impression is strong tonight
that o forward movement will be
made during the next tw~enty-four
hours.
General MEDIEVAL will not be su-
~perseded.
The programme of the war in
Virginia, published by the press, if
carried out with energy, viii be the
first chapter of the great war.
The Confederates don't under
rate the resources of the Govern
ment, and the only case of their
success would assume the often
slve.
Recent developments look as
though General Scott did not in
tend any forward movement in
Virginia during the summer.
BALTIMORE, July 1.
Our city is completely under mil
itary rule. Troops are occupying
all prominent places in the city.
The Police Commissioners and two
other citizens, named Slicer and
Brown, were arrested, and are now
at Fort McHenry. Slicer was q
Custom-house officer.
The Baltimore and Ohio Rail-
road paid full interest on its indebt-
edness to-day, except Northwest
ern Virginia bonds, which the city
will have to supply. Council is to
meet Wednesday for that purpose.
No business doing. Have heard
several business men say theywould
close their stores after the 4th'
The steamer st. Nicholas left this
city Friday last for Washington.
She had seventy-fve passengers on
board, including many ladies. At
Point Lookout, at the confluence
of the Potomac and Chesapeake, q
large number of men, who after
ward proved to be Virginians, came
aboard in citizens dress, among
them Com. Hollins, late of United
States Navy. They seized the yes
sci, placed IIollins in command, set
the passengers ashore at their sew
eral landings, and then went out
into the bay and captured a brig
bound to Baltimore with coffee, a
bark to Washington with ice, and q
schooner to Boston, from Alexan-
dria, with coal. They took the
prizes to Fredericksburg, where they
now lie.
WASHINGTON, July 1.
No doubt need be entertained
that the suppression of the rebel
lion will be prosecuted vigorously
and without hating. The Admin
istration does not intend to lag be-
hind the almost universal demand
of the people. To-day an order
was given to supply tNe whole force
on both sides of the Potomac with
extra rations for six days, in addi-
ton to their regular supplies.
The question daily asked in mil
itary circles is, why has not Pat
pushed forward his column,
aud not kept everybody waiting?
Government has decided to take
him out of the way.
1t is generally believed here that
the general advances will be order
ed to begin on the Fourth of July.
We learn from a gentleman di-
from the West, that General
Mcclellan commands a force Of
over 10000 men in the heart Of
Western Virginia, and is superin-
ending IN person vitality important
movements against the rebels.
General Fremont received In
to proceed to Harper's
to command the division IN
Ter Patterson.
1t is the general impression that
movement will soon be made SO
ar into Virginia that all retreat
# the rebels at Harper's Ferry will
'e cut off.
