After sinking the Cumberland the
Merrimac turned her attention to the
Congress, and in less than an hour after
wards a white flag was hoisted on the
latter. The officers and marines being
taken prisoners the seamen were allowed
to escape to the shore.
After four o'clock the Merrimac con-
tinued to throw shell into the camp at
Newport News, while the jamestown
and other Rebel gun-boats commenced
firing upon the Minnesota, and the con-
fct was continued without any apparent
effect until dark.
During the evening the frigate Con-
gress was set on fire and made brill
liant spectacle. At midnight she blew
up with tremendous explosion.
During Saturday evening the Monitor
Ericsson Battery arrived very oppor-
timely, and at once proceeded up the
river, although not prepared for irnme-
diate action, having just arrived from
her first trip. During the night only
an occasional gun was fired. Both sides
seemed to be willing to wait for day
light.

follow it. Such as may seem indispens-
able, or may obviously promise great eff
ficiency towards ending the struggle,
must and will come. The proposition
now made is an offer only. | hope it
may be esteemed no offence to ask
whether the pecuniary consideration ten
dercd would not be of more value to the
States and private persons concerned,
than are the institution and property in
it, in the present aspect of affairs s.
While it is true that the adoption of the
proposed resolution would be merely in
itiatory, and not within itself a practical
measure, it is recommended, in the hope
that it would soon lead to important
practical results. In full view of my
great responsibility to my God and to
my country, l earnestly beg the atten-
ton of Congress and the people to the
subject.

lengthy editorial on the crisis of the war,
pledging the entire South "to die in the last
ditch" before surrendering, and predicting a
series of brilliant victories as about to ensuc

as to the precise locality Of this last ditch.

AS the feet approached the fort trail

An exciting race took place, the steam

some of them folling in such close prox-
unity that some of the fleeing rebels
jumped from it and took to the bush.
Among the latter is said to have been
the late Senator Yulee, of Florida, ac-
companied by his servant. The train,
of course, outran the gunboat and es-
capped.

They had hastily removed portion
of their guns, which were said to be at
St Johns, farther up the Sound. An
expedition was preparing to 60 up to
capture them when the Alabama sailed,
Considerable ammunition was also
captured, and the same evening the
rebel steamer Darlington, loaded with
wagons, ammunition and camp equip
page, was also captured whilst endeav-
oring to escape.
The expedition accomplished its mis-
sion on the 18th of March. the anniver-

Lincoln. The troops of Gen. Wright
were landed, and Commodore Dupont
handed over to his possession the forts
and earthworks, which were quickly gar

The New Tax Bill.

The new Tax bill for the expenses Of the

can, in the person of Rebel sympathizers
what is the actual cost Of the little expert
ment, recently inaugurated by their fellows
Of an attempt to break up the best Govern
ment on earth So far in the conflict it has
been the high privilege of this class in Mary
land to see hundreds of thousands of good
Union men filing past them to participate in
bloody contests, whilst they were permitted
to stand by and laugh at them, or possibly
to sneer at or insult them. With no draft
AS in the Rebel States-reaching their ca
sss, not compelled, as are those at Richmond,
to offer from fifty" dollars to six hundred
dollars for substitutes" to serve in the army,
they have hitherto enjoyed complete i'm
nunity from the hardships Of the accused
wickekness. They have, from safe distance,
contemplated it complacently, until at last
the experiment has reached their pockets,
and they are compelled thus to participate,
10 some extent, In the burdens thrown by
reckless consprators upon a common coun-
try.
We heartily rejoice at all this, 80 far as it
can reach them. That it is calculated to
make them grind thier teeth is a matter Of
course. Compelled to help to pay the cost
Of the experiment it would not be at all STIR
prlsing if another "peaco party" should
straightway be organized, and this time not
on the basis Of Disunion, but on that Of u
Mon. That it bears more heavily on these
sympathizers with the Rebels is matter Of
course, because the tax draws on those fierce
" reluctant TO contribute. A thorough Union
man, one truly imbued with a love for his
country as o whole, is ready to make any
sacrifice chcerfuly for it. One man gives his
life, another the life Of his child anything
or everything when he remembers that it is
to preserve to those who are to follow us in
the tide of timo institutions bequeathed by
Washington. And so we say, the sacrifice,
ls. it be great Or small, is lightened by patri-
otto considerations. But when it comes to
those whose every thought is for the destruc-
tion Of our nationality, who, too selfish or
tho cowardly to fight, stand in the back
ground to haloo on their follows to a strife
they will not participate actively in them
selves, it is pleasant to think there is ono way
Of reaching them, and that there is power in
the great Government over us still to make
corers treason disgorge its means for the pres
orvation OF the nation.
Then let the patriotic, the earnest. the true
lover Of their country rejoice that whilst they
have the opportunity afforded them to aid
their country, traitors r spite may no longer
escape the consequences of the treason they
have encouraged. Taking it at its worst, it
is but trifle to contribute towards the pres
ervston of the noblest institutions ever given
N man. The country has called for it, has
expected it; let all meet their share Of ex-
pense with alacrity, since everything indl-
Gates for us speedily tina. infinite blcssDg--a
