Yesterday afternoon aEother little skirm.
ish occurred near the banks Of the Ocroduan
1t was reported in the morning that body
OF rebels were OF Pohick Church. Csptsin
Larving, OF the Third Mich iEan Rsginzent,
then on picket duty in front of General
Heintzelmans Division, took thirty four raen
under Lieutenant Brennan, from Company
+, and forty three under Lieutenant BRYAN.
from Company II, and went to meet them,
Arriving at Pohick Church no Tsbels were
seen. The party, however, proceeded to the
banks Of the Occaquan, opposite the town OF
that name. Arriving there early in the
afternoon, q few unsrm0d men were OBSERVED
drilling in the town; they gave the alarm,
when a number OF rebels came around the
houses and fred on our men. A brief s5irm-
ish then took place.
Four Of the rebels were seen to fall. and
were carried off by their comrades. No
Injury was sustained by any of our partv
except by one man who wac slightly bruised
by q spent ball. The enemy was about send
ing large party across the Occoqusn, when
our men retreated to their picket post.
The flag of truce from Rebeldon conveyed
an impudent demand. The message is said
to have been from JEFF. Davis to President
Lincoln, announcing that IL the Federal
Government permit the rebel bridge burn
ers to be hung under the order Of General
Hslleck, the Federal prisoners, Col. Oorcorau,
Lee, Wilcox, and others, held as hostages for
the safety of the pirates, shall be immedi.
atelY hung in retaliation,
A Cabinet meeting was called to consider
the subject, but am requested not to an-
nounce the result. JEFF. Davis will learn il
soon enough.

GrEERAL RAINS BrTEs HIS OWN NOSE Orr.
The following story is told at the expense Of
the rebel General Rains of Missouri:
II appears that he had tenant on his farm
who was q stsnch Union man. The latter
had given his notes to Rains, and Mrs. Rains
held them for safe keeping. The tenant
in order to save the hay and grain raised by
him on the farm went to Mrs Rains and
made delivery of the above articles, and
took up the notes Meantime, Rains, wish
ing TO replenish bis commissary department
from the Union men, hinted one day to q
forsging party the fact that good haul
would be made on the premises of Mr.. -,
his own tenant. The articles we're forth with
eonfscated, agreeable to Rains suggestions
the point of the joke consisting in this that
Rains unwittingly sacrificed his own prop
erty for the rebel cause.

THE STREET RAILROADS AND THE Per
CAPITA TAX.-We are informed that Mr..
Doherty, the President, and the Directors of
the Passenger and City Passenger Street
Railroads, will soon make application to the
City Council to appoint committee of busi-
ness men to examine the books of the Com
psnies, and faithfully report the receipts and
expenditures of the roads, the wear upon the
cars and stock, and then satisfy themselves
whether the companies are receiving any re-
muneration for their labOrS or the capital in
vested.
Under the present law the Companies are
bound to pay the per capita upon all who
travel with them, TO pay license Of $50 for
each car, and to bowlder such streets as are
not now bowldered in their line of travel.
The effort will be TO remove the per capita,
and this latter clause referred TO, leaving
them subject TO the $50 license and the
keeping in repair the streets already in their
course, and the tax which Is levied upon the
property invested in the business. This
proposition looks reasonable, and will an
doubtedly be adopted by the Council. If the
committee find, as we have no doubt they
will, that the companies can not pay the
enormous tax of one fifth Of their gross in
come, and that to insist upon 1t is to compel
the abandonment Of the roads, then the
Council will have an argument TO amend the
contract so as TO make II living one for
both parties. The circumstances OF the
times are widely different from what they
were when the contract was entered into.
War is upon us; it has greatly diminished
the business OF the roads, and new con-
tract more suitable 70 the times would be
reasonable. Landlords have reduced rents
upon leases, salaries and every thing else
| have fallen, and IL the companies ever could
have paid the tax, 1t Is certain they can moi
do 90 now.-EhQlarsT.
