NEW ENGLAND AND THE WAR TAx.-The
Chicago Fest takes the New England Yankees
TO task in the following manner:
Fhe silly talk of the New England mauufac
turers, that the agricultural interest paid but
small proportion Of the tax, was unworthy of
the Senate The fact is, this whr has been
godsend to the people OF New England Pro-
tected by All outrageous tariff from all foreign
competition, they nave bad rich harvest
since the war commenced. There is not q
manufacturing company in all New England
that will not realize from tsn to thirty per cent
on its capital for the year ending the lst of
Jrlle. Iiis is not confined to any one
branch of industry, bat includes all branches
of manufacture. In the sale of cotton
fabrics they have now monopoly, and
for twenty years there has not been such
nu amount OF work done as has been done
during The year just closed. The advantages
reaped by New England from the war are not
confined TO the mere profits in dollarsan cents
upon the vast supplies it has sold. but it has
enjoyed the more tiian equal advantage Of hav.
ing lad ful employment in its tncxories for all
its population. New England With hor facto-
ries closed, aud New England VIII her facto-
ries in operation, even il not making profits,
are very different. 1t is hard to irnPsach the
patriotism, or loyalty OF amy people; but, judg-
ing OF the present by tho past, it may not be
extrayagant to suppose that, II this war had
had the effect of closing all the factories and
stopping oil tho mills in New England, there
would come nP 4 cry from that section III favor
Of peace.

HARhIsoNRuRa, Va, june IL, 1862.
observe in the Richmond papers that the
credit Of the cayalry charge made upon the
euemy at Front ROYAL il given to the I'd V,r,
ginia cavalry. Now, while the I'd is a gallant
regiment, yet it Is not entitled to the credit
given 1t on this occasion. The charge was
made by the 9th Virginia cavalry, commanded
by Lieut.-Col. Thos. ). Floarnoy. After the
enemy were driven from Front ROYAL the cav.
airy were ordered in pursuit, the 9th cavalry
being in front. -Four companies OF the tth
overlook the enemy abont three miles from
Front Royal on the turnpike leading to Win,
chester. The enemy, comprising three com.
panies of cavalry, two pieces of artillery, and
more than regiment Of infantry, had formed
To receive the charge. The 9TH charged them
when their cavalry took to inme,list;s airht :
but their inftntry, the Ist fsnElgS5e lArylas1l
regiment. made determined stand. and the
conflict for some time was fierce aud bloody.
We lost about twenty-five in killed and
wounded, the enemy about the same number.
We took about six hundred prisoners.
In killed, wounded, and prisoners, the lst
Yankee Maryland regiment was aetuaily de-
moished, not more thar fifteen escaping. At
ter the fout was complete, and most of the pri
soners captured, others came up and assisted
III taking prisoners. Owing to the difficulty in
crossing the bridge at Front ROYAL, which had
been set on fire by the enemy, II was difficult
FOR the cavalry to cross the river. which ac-
counts for so small portion of the cavalry
being III the fight. There were but four tom
panies i'll the charge, which werc--Capt. Du-
lany's company, Capt. GIimslcy's Capt Flour

Three other companies of the 9th came up in
time TO follow in the pursuit, viz: Capt. Rich
ards's company, Capt Throckrnorton 5, and
Capt. Rows, The ront of the enemy was
complete, and this charge of the 9TH is consid-
cred one of the best cavalry charges that has
