shopkeepers, and Others occupying promises wis H.
in the limits Of the city, reminded that all o.
struc'ions and accommodations of filth are strictly
forbidden by the Ordinances of the City. All
persons therefore requ sted to examine their
premises and The adjacent alleys and cutters. and
remove therefr everything prejudicial to the
convenience or health OF the public.
In order to protect the health of the cit zens
from the evil cJpsequenCes resulting from accu-
mutations and deposits of filth, public notice has
heretofore been given, and in mauy instances per-
soual notice has been served b. the Marshal, but
in many cases these notices have been wholly dis
garded. This final notice is therefore given in the
hope that all persons will at examine their
premises, aud, by removing just causes Of com
plaint, avoid the consequences OF resort to legal
proceedings. W. BAKER, Mayor.

Without waiting for official reports

superior numbers with very heavy loss.
Kearney's division arrived in time to restore
the fortunes of the day, and came most gal
lantly into action. ] shall probably have

WASHINGTON, May 15.-The impression
is gaining ground that Mr.. Summers sched-
ule of tax law will be substituted in the
Senate for the House bill.
1t is stated that although the Finance
Committee agreed to report the House Tax
bill majority of the committee is opposed
to it.
a mir. Summers bill preserves the machin-
cry of the House BIZ but proposes to
raise $266, 900, 600 ofreYenue; 800, 900, 900
TO be raised from duties On imports; $780,
600, 600 from a tax of one-half of one per
cent on all sales and the balance from a tax
on spirits, halt liq1ors playing cards, to-
bacco, oils and licenses These are the only
articles specifically taxed.
1t is generally believed that this pro-
gramme for a revenue viii prevail.

GENERAL ORDER NO. l

GENERAL ORDER NO. IL.
The three States of Georgia, Florida and
South Carolina, comprising the military
district of the South, having deliberately
declared themselves no longer under the
protection of the United States of America,
and having taken up arms against the
United States, it has become a military
necessity to declare martial law. This was
accordingly done on the 25th day of April,
1862. Slavery and martial law in a free
country are altogether Incompatible.
Persons in these three States, Georgia,
Florida and South Carolina, heretofore
held as slaves, are therefore declared for
ever free.
TRIBUEE's DISPATCH.
WASHINGTON, May 15.-Marylanders say
that few days ago 1000 slaves, as if by
preconcerted move, simultaneously left
kind masters and happy homes in Prince
George county, Nd, and came TO the Dis
trict of Columbia, where they still are.
The principles of the homestead bill, as
agreed on by the Committee of Conference,
are extended to all the military and naval
service of the United States, whether natu.
rallied or not; whether q years of age or
not. Disloyal persons are precluded from
availing themselves of it. Forty -eight, one
hundred and twenty, and one hundred and
sixty acres can be located, and the settlers
of a tract of 40 acres bordering on govern
ment land can take enough to complete his
section.
dispatch from Fredericksburg says the
large iron foundry which, until the arrival
of the national army at that place, was used
in casting shot and shell and in riaing can
non for the rebels, was on Wednesday ia
ken possession of by an officer of Gen. Nc
Dowelps staff
Yankee mechanics were Immediately set
to work in the national service, and are
producing the best specimens of work.
