WASHINGTON. Sept. 30.-The commission
er Of internal revenue has given the following
opinion in regard to the liability of railway
companies to the payment of stamp duties :
The item marked 'express" on page SO of
the excise law was not intended to en-
brace the freight business of railroads and
ordinary wagoners, but is limited to persons
who are express carriers and not merely COM
mon carriers under the law. The distinction
is very well known in practical business. The
express courier is equally expected to take
the parcel, box, or bundle, from the house or
place of business of the consignee, while a
railway company receives and delivers goods
only at its own stations.
In the absence of specific language in the
statute authorizing the broader construction,
l must hold that persons and companies en-
gagged in transporting goods over the country,
as such business is usually performed by rail-
way corporations, are not liable to the pay
ment of a stamp tax upon the receipts given
for goods, l am also of opinion that
the first item in schedule B does not
include such receipts for freight, as are
usually given by railroad companies, and the
receipt is no doubt in a technical sense, an
agreement or contract, but in the ordinary use
of language this close construction does not
hold. Had congress intended to include re-
ceipts it would have been easy to have so pro-
vided in plain languarge.

General MCClellan'S Report of the
Battle of Antietam.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 30.-The following re-
port of the victory of Antietam has been for
warded to the headquarters of the army by
Gen. Mcclellan =
NEAR SHARPsBURG, Sept. 20, 1862, 1.30
P. MO Maj. Gen. II. w. HalIeck, General
IN Chief Of the United States A'my.-Gen-
eral: have the honor to report the follow
ing as some of the results of the battles of
South Mountain and Antietam. At South
Mountain our loss was 443 dead, 1906 wound
ed, and 76 missing; total, 1926. At Antietem
our loss was POLO killed, 94l6 wounded, and
lO43 missing; total, l2,469. Total loss in the
two battles, 1874. The loss of the rebels in
the two battles, as near as can be ascertained
from the number of their dead found upon the
field, and from other data, will not fall short
OF the following estimate Major Davis, as
slstant inspector general, who superintends
the burial of the dead, reports about 5000 reb-
els buried upon. the field of Antietam by our
troops. Previous to this, however, the rebels
had buried many OF their own dead upon the
distant portion of the battle field, which they
occupied after the battle-probably at least
500.
The loss of the rebels at South Mountain
cannot be ascertained with accuracy, but as
our troops continually drove them from the
commencement OF the action, and as a much
greater number of their dead were seen on
the field than of our men, it is not improbable
to suppose that their loss was greater than
ours. Estimating their killed at $780, the to-
tai number of rebels killed in the two battles
would be 1000. According to the ratio of our
own killed and wounded this would make their
loss in wounded 1912, As nearly as can be
determined at this time the number of prison
ers taken by our troops in the two battles, will
ut the lowest estimate amount to five thou
sand.
The full returns will no doubt show larger
number of these. About 1900 are wounded.
This gives me rebel loss in killed. wound
ed and prisoners of 25542. 1t will be OBJ
served that this does not include the stray
glers, the number of whom is said by citizens
here to be large. 1t may be safely concluded
therefore that the rebel army lost at least
10000 of their best troops. From the time
our troops first encountered the enemy in
Maryland until it was driven back into Vir-
glnia we captured thirteen guns, seven cais-
sons, nine limbers, two field FORCES, two Gals
son bodies, twenty-nine colors, and one signal
| flag. We have not lost a single gun or a
color.
On the battle field of Antetam IA, 900 small
arms were collected, besides the large num-
Der carried off by citizens, and those distrib-
uted on the ground to recruits and other
unarmed men arriving Immediately after the
battle. AT the South Mountain no collection
of small arms was made, but owing to the
haste of the pursuit from that point, four
| hundred were taken on the opposite side of
the Potomac. GEO. b. MCCLELLAN,
Major General Commanding.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 3O.-The dismissal by
the president of John j. Key, additional aide
de camp attached to Gen. Halleck's staff, for
the utterance of disloyal sentiments, is regard
ed as an excellent example in high quarters,
and hope is expressed that it may he follow
ed up, until the army shall be thoroughly
purged of these officers, who so frequently of
fend the ear of loyal citizens by seditious and
reasonable words.
Major Key, it is but just to say, whatever
may have been the offence for which he has
been dismissed, bore fair character as an
officer, and his loyalty was never previously
suspected He was not, however, an officer
of Gen. Halleck's own selection, but had been
assigned to him. Thus attached to the staff,
and without the personal acquaintance or con-
fdence of Gen. Halleck, he has been con-
stantly employed on detached staff duties,
such as local provost marshal for towns and
cities, supervising agent at different points, etc.
He has never been employed in any confiden-
tial capacity at headquarters, which would
give him access to information that could by
any possibility be of service to the enemy
not, however, because any question of his 10y
atty had been raised, but because Gen. Hal
leck had no personal knowledge of him such
as would induce the confiding of important or
secret operations.
Mai Key is from Indiana but is said to have
large contingent interests in the slave states.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 30.--From casualties
in the field and from absence by reason of
sickness, many volunteer regiments have not
a sufficient number of officers to command
them. 1t is important that the vacancies
caused by deaths and designations be filled
with the least possible delay. The governors
of the several states are earnestly requested
to fill those vacancies by promoting officers,
non commissioned officers and privates who
have distinguished themselves in the field, OF
who have shown a capacity for military COM
mand. Without the hope of promotion there
is no encouragement to faithful performance
of duty, and no stimulus to deeds of val6r.
Moreover the discipline and efficiency of an
army depends in great measure upon the
character and qualifications of its officers.
Without good officers the very best soldiers
soon become mere disorderly mob, the in
efficiency of which is increased by the increase
of its members. II. w. HALLECK,
General-in-C Chief

An indianapolis correspondent of the Com
mercial says Gen. Buell. has been removed
and Gen. Thomas assigned to his command
LOUISVILLE, Sept. 30.-Yesterday it was
rumored that Gen. Buell. was relieved from
his command. The news created much dis
satisfaction among our state authorities and
prominent citizens, who have the utmost CON
tdence in Gen. Buell.. We have reliable in
formation to-day, that Gen. Buell. is still in
command of the army of the Ohio.
Intelligence has just been received from
Gen. Morgan who has evacuated Cumberland
Gap with his entire force, and is now well on
his way to the Ohio river. On evacuating the
Gap, Gen. Morgan sprung the mines, closing
the passage through the mountains so com
pletely as to make it entirely impossible. All
the stores, artillery, and munitions of war,
were either brought away or destroyed, not
leaving the value of five dollars to the en-
envy. General Morgan's force is much larger
than is generally supposed. He has not only
the veterans of his command, but has been
receiving daily additions of hundreds of the
loyal citizens of east Tennessee. He is strong
in artillery and cavalry. 1t is known that
Marshall, and a portion of Kirby Smiths re-
bel force have moved to intercept them. Gen.
Morgan desires to meet them. Important
movements have been ordered against the
forces of Kirby Smith and Marshall, which
will seriously interfere with their plans. We
expect important news from that region hourly.

STATE OF MARYLAND, EXECUTIVE DEPART
MENT. ANNAPOLIS, Sept. 20, lS62.-The ex-

out a proper acknowledgment, and the cor

half of the state of Maryland, to MAJOR Gen
eral Mcclellan, and the gallant officers and
men under his command, my earnest and
hearty thanks for the distinguished courage,
skill. and gallantry, with which that achieve
ment was accomplished. 1t reflects lustre
upon the ability of the commander-ln"chet
and the heroism and endurance OF his follow
ers. that the country everywhere recognizes,
and that even our enemies are constrained to
acknowledge
To Gov. Curtin of Pennsylvania, and to the
militia of his state, who rallied with SUCH alac-
rity at the first symptoms OF an INVASION, our
warmest thanks are also due The readiness
with which they crossed the border and took
their stand beside the Maryland brigade shows
that that border is in all respects but an ideal
line and that in such a cause as now unites us
Pennsylvania and Maryland are but one.
can not forbear to notice, in this connec-
tiop. the conduct of our own regiments that
took mart in the recent battles. All reports
concur in representing their gallantry as all
the state could desire. The numbers OF their
killed and wounded, and their torn and tat
tered standards, bear witness to the position
thew occupied in the field. To the I'd, 3D.,
and 9TH Maryland regiments, the Purnell Lee
zion. the LIST regiment of the home brigade,
and the LIST Maryland artillery, who partic;i-,
mated in the recent severe struggles, would
therefore tender the thanks which are so just
