Taxing the Newspapers.

Washington Dispatch to The N. Y World.
The abolition of the ranking privilege CARRIE
with it the right OF newspapers to exchange with
out the payment of postage, an important item IN
the newspaper business It will amount to Sc
rous tax on papers with large exchange lists.
fmd strong feeling here in favor of taxing news
paper proprietors oneeight of cent for each sheet
they print. 1t would produce enormous income
to the Government, and it is urged would be

The Situation at Somerset Three Gays
before Nae Battle.


A correspondent of Tie Cincinnati Gunner
ciaI, wiling ON Thursday says:
From the different rumors flying about. now
of one move now of another Of the enemy it
would seem that old Zolly was rather in guam
dairy a brown study, or a bad fix, from which it
would be advisable to extricate himself soon, if
nat sooner. The old gentleman begins to smell
a large sized mouse there is something wrong
somewhere ; there are too many men getting be-
hind him who do not belong to his side of the
house.
Now Mr.. Zoicoffer is too old fox to get
caught in "a trap he set him self. His position on
the Cumberland at the mouth OF White Oak
Creek, was natural fortified place, and not GOMEZ
at-able from the north side of the river, Oh the
main road from Somerset to Monticello; but
whether he is going to take up permanent po-
sition there, or whether he is already making a
backward move through Monticello, is not def
nitely known.
The report that Zolicotfer was crossing the
Big South Fork, and aiming to get back to the
Cumberland Gap, turns out to be false.
Some 1,400 Or 200 men passed thro' Mont
gomery last week to join ZolicofOr's force; they
came from Virginia, through KnOxvllle-and
there are swarmS of soldiers at Knoxville.
lust saw n man who lives within mile of Zoi-
licotfers encambment; he is still in his original
position, with about 10000 men, all told, REIN
torcement and all, sick included. The man who
Brought this news is a reliable man, and one
! who ted many of the Tenneseans when they
first came to Kentucky.
| Night before last was terrible night; il
rained, hailed, sleeted showed, and blowed. In
the expressive language Of somebody" First
it blew, then it snew, then it friz like Ireland. =
The water courses are all up, and the mud half
| leg deep in the roads, aud unless i'll a case OF
emergency, it would be almost impossible to
move an army After several days, misty and
drizzlY, old Jamaica has shown US the light OF
his countenance, and smiled upon us +; but it is
e stingy effort, and not genial smile that i'm.
parts confidence with it.
Tonight, on dress parade, an order was read
| for company from each of the Tennessee reg.
iments to 60 out tomorrow, and work on the
Danville road. What does it mean? Are prep,
aations being made for a retreat?

subslde from Sacramento. The whole city has

understand that our young townsman Lieutenant
JAMES O NELL, has his paintings Of scenes and
incidents Of the present and former wars in this
country, nearly ready for exhibition. We gave
some time ago notice of these paintings, which
we understand are of much merit. Weknow they
have been prepared at much labor and expense,
and we doubt not they will prove in their az
rangement and preparation highly interesting and
instructive. The series Of paintings are arranged
in moving Panorama with moving figures that
will give the beholder the most graphic idea o
the originals.
The Panopticon viii be ready for exhibition
some time next week.

E4P Senator Summers exposition of the position
of the Government upon the question resulting
from the release of Mason and Slidell pronounced
in the Senate on Thursday, was a splendid effort,
and is genarally praised even by those who do not
agree With the Senator politically. 1t is unneces
garv to give even resume of this fine speech be-
cause the Senator, acting upon plan which we
would like to see followed by all our public men,
sent advanced sheets of his argument to all the
leading papers of the country, and thus secured
for it an instantaneous and almost universal cis-
culation.- Washington Chronicle.

looking into the ways unpatriotic men nave OF
making money out of the government in the nignt
of its dead hug with the rebellion" The members
of this committee have been making so many jour
ncys over the country during the summer months,
and especially during the recent holidays, that we
would not be at all surprised to see larger bill
presented to Congress for avelling and other ex-
penses, than the whole amount saved to the gov,

A SPLENDID REGIMENT.-There is one remark
that we think we may safely make, and that i;
that no finer Regiment is in the army than the Isl
Wisconsin Cavalry. On two occasions during the
past week, the entire Regiment has paraded thro
our streets, ami they certainly make very fine
soldierly appearance. There are nearly 1900 men
and they have been so well drilled that the wholt
Regiment moves as one man. They are armed will
sabres, but have not yet got their horses. Naarl,
every man IS in uniform, and it is no more thai
justice to say that their uniforms are kept in tn
very beat condition, so that when they come GU
! ON dress parade, they look as good as new.
