TELEGRAPH1c FABR IcATIoNs BY THE LITTLE
vnLAN.-The Times Of yesterday, notwith-
standing the order Of the Secretary of War,
published what purported to be two tele-
graphic dispatches from Washington, one
about "warm Work In Virginia" and the other
about "Rumors of General Banks" Both are
pure fabrications, and could not have come by
telegraph; for the telegraph is in possession Of
government officer, who is instructed to pre-
vent all such communications for the present.
The public ought to be on its guard against
these unauthorized reports, particularly those
flying through Wall street, which are Of a stock
iobbing character, and intended either to de-
press or to inaote the prices Of stocks in the
market

The REVOLUTIONARY GRUMBLNGs-The abo-
lition journals are still grumbling about Secre-
tary Stanton's order restricting the publication
Of war news, and are endeavoring to throw
ridicule and contempt upon measure which
only the wicked and reasonable folly of such
journals as the Tribune Times, World and Post
has rendered necessary. Long ago all the
newspapers agreed with General Mcclellan up
on certain line Of action in regard to the pub
lication of war news, and the departure of the
revolutionary abolition journals from their ex-
press agreement has provoked the order against
which they so bitterly demonstrate. The most
amazingly and amusingly impudent feature Of
this affair is the attempt of the revolutionary
nigger organs to represent that Secretary STAN
ton has issued his order in consequence of the
HERALD's revelations. We know that the fact
is just the reverse; for the HERALD has always
strictly adhered to the agreement with General
Mcclellan, and has no changes to make in its
news columns. When investigating Hickman's
report is published we shall see what journals
made government censorship of the telegraph
necessary, and whose dispatches have been
suppressed.

Tho mode Of arranging this immense taAr Into
system, the objects to be taxed, and the ma inner
Of collecting the revenue, will give rise to more
controversy, discussion and difficulty than ~
the other measures combined.
Naturally and inevitably every interest Of
the country will endeavor to escape the tax
and put the burthen upon other shoulders, and
the complications which will arise from this
clashing of interests will be startling and per-
picking. The wealthy interest will oppose the
laboring interest; the banking and the mining.
the manufacturing and the commercial, tho
business and the corporation, the railroad and
the whiskey, the newspaper and the publishing
interests will be at variance, and each will
insist upon entire or partial exemption for itself,
and double taxation for all the rest. Hence
the difficulty Of determining upon a general
system satisfactory to all concerned. A
It is impossible to satisfy every one,
this Taxation bill will make matters q thousand
times worse 1t Is possible, however, to satisfy
the. reasonable majority of interests; and this
can only be done by adhering to the principle,
which holds good universally, that taxation
must be general, and must be imposed upon all
interests, without one special exception In
taxing newspapers, for instance, endeavors will
be made to discriminate between different
classes; but the only fair, just and practicable
mode is to serve all alike, and tax them accord
ing to their calculations This would satsfac-
torily dispose Of that interest at once; for the
papers with large calculations would have the
largest tax to pay, and the burthens of small
papers would be light.
Upon this general principle, which includes
all interests and serves them all alike, the com-
mittee Of Congress must base their report; and,
as the subject will have to be discussed for
some time in and out of Congress, the sooner
the committee report the better.

RIGHTS OF BELLIGERENTs AT SEA.-We sec
that Mr.. Golden is about to bring under the
consideration of the English Parliament the
present ill-defned and unsatisfactory state Of
International and maritime law, as affecting tho
rights of belligerents. There is no doubt that
this question will be warmly taken up by the
English liberals, in order to put it out Of the
power of the tories to get up another excite
ment against this country, based on the capri
cious Interpretation of code which no one very
clearly understands, and which England herself
only observes as it suits her convenience. Con-
tinental publicists, but more particularly n.
d'Hautefeuille, the we'll known writer on inter-
national law, have also taken up the subject,
and it is not likely that it will be allowed to
drop, until some convention is arrived at be-
tween the different governments which will
serve to curb the arrogant pretensions of Eng
land Should this anticipation be verified, tho
Trent difficulty will have proved double tri-
umph to us. Whilst it has blocked the game
of the rebels abroad, it will establish beyond
the chance Of further controversy the principles
Of maritime law which this country has always
contended for.

DAILY CIRCULATION OF THE NEW YORK HERALD.

The above figures, which can be verified from
our books, give the circulation of the New York
HmALD for the week just past. We believe that
more than equals the aggregate circulation of all
the other daily papers in this city ana or 0o--.a it
far surpasses that of any one of them. The ad-
vsntages which the HERALD affords to advertisers
are self-evident.

ruses, many of them written expressly for

progressive, that ordinary teachers will find
themselves entirely successful in instfucting
even young scholars to sing correctly and
scientifically; while the tunes and words
embrace such a variety of lively, attractive,
and soul-stirring music and sentiments, that
no trouble will be experienced in inducing
all beginners to 60 on with zeal in acquir-

simplicity of its elements, in variety and

p%etitors. 1t will be found the best ever

lnd many Of the encmN's arc I'M

and many of the enomy's are in
our hands.
On the left of the rebel position,
Hooker, Sumner and Franklin
have crossed Antietam Creek, and
have drivn the enemy from the
ground they chose to cover their
thanks in front of orr bate
ries, aud troops have steadily ad-
vanced and occupy tonight a range
of hills considerably beyond those
first taken. 3G
On the rebel right they have lost
the bridge over the creek, which
was carried after aEhard fight, and
Burnside has crossed with all his
forces.
The result of the days fight,
therefore, is that the rebels have
every where lost ground, their po-
sition is contracted, both TANKS at
tackled with success, and their rear,
and only line of retreat seriously
threatened.
McClellan's plan of battle was
briefly as follows: Hooker was to
cross the creek on the right: Sum-
ner, Franklin, and Mansfield to CO.
operate with and sustain his at
tack. In front the batteries were
10 push forward with infantry sup
ports, and an effort TO be made to
carry the nights on the left.
Burnside was to cross the creek by
the bridge, and attack the rebel
right, moving on Sharpsburg also,
which was in their rear, and thus
cut off their retreat. Porter and
Sykes were held in reserve. The
plan, if successful, must result not
merely in the defeat, but the de-
struction or surrender of the rebel
army. 81
Hard fighting all along the liSe,
continued at intervals throughout
the day. French and Slocum
were well toward the center. 1t
was time to hear from Burnside,
who had been long delayed in his
efforts to carry the bridge.
At 4 o'clock, Mcclellan sent Or
ders to Burnside to cross at once,
at all hazards, and capture or ST.
lence the battery in front. The
bridge was captured in gallant
but with the loss of Colonel
Kingsbury, and five hundred killed
and wounded. 4
The fire on both sides died away
gradually, and at seven o'clock the
great battle was over for the day.
II was everywhere very desperate
ly contested, and the loss OH both
sides is very large. Ten Generals
on our side sre killed and wound
ed. Our whole loss cannot be less
than ten thousand.
