ate had stricken out considerable that the
House included, particularly the tax on
plate, watches and dogs. They have,
however, put halfa cent per pound on
cotton. The Senate, like the House, re-
fused to tax slaves. This is, no doubt,
wise; nothing should be done to cXaspcr-
ate the South, which can as well be omit.

House will concur in the Senatc's amend
mcnts, and the bill become law in n
few days.
AS sur readers are aware, this tax is fol
the purpose of paying the interest on ou
public debt and maintaining the credit o
the country, When the bill becomes

Minister, and with the understand ing
that the United States bonds would be

vicinity Of Richmond, which broaden,

time before it reaches the James River,
into which it it empties thirty-sevcn miles
above Fortress Monroe, it is affected by
the tides, and at the mouth is, as appears
from the James, between two and three
miles wide. The Chickahominy is the

The Republican-Aboltion in and
out of Congress are in hot water about
the action of Mr.. STANLEY, the recently
appointed Provisional Governor of North

at Newbern, Gov. STANLEY found that
designing fanatical Aboltionists sent
there from New York had opened schools
for negroes and were harboring runaway
slaves, in defiance of the State laws
He closed the schools, restored the fugi-

gave the abolition emm issarics to under.

to the great delight of the faithful Union
Of the place, and the rapid
extension Of loyal feeling in that State.
Congress, true to their love for the Mig
ger, have passed resolutions of enquiry
into the action of Gov. STANLEY and
urge his removal.

Big Fight On the GhiclkallO

WASHINGTON, June l.
Tho following dispatch was received at
the War Department this afternoon
FIELD OF BATTLE, May SIP NJ
We have had desperate battle in which
the corps of Generals Sumner, Heintzle-
man and Keyes were engaged, against
greatly superior numbers.
Yesterday about | o'clock, the enemy,
taking advantage of terrible storm
which flooded the valley of the Chicka-
hominy, attacked our right Aanks. Gen.
Casey's Division, which was in the first
line, gave way unaccountably. This
caused temporary confusion during which
the guns and baggage we're lost; but
Hcintzleman and Kcarney most gallantly
brought up their troops, which checked
the enemy. At the same time | succeed
.ed by great eXertion, in bringing across
Gems. Sedgwicl and Richardson's divis-
ions, who drove back the enemy at the
point of the bayonet, covering the field
with his dead. This morning the enemy
attempted to renew the conflict, but was
everywhere rcpulsed, We have taken
many prisoners, among whom are Gen,
Rettigrew and Col. Long. Our loss is
heavy, and that Of the enemy must have
been enormous. Excepting Casey's di-
vision, the men behaved splendidly. Sew
eral fine bay onet charges were made.
