upon Washington. Proceeding up the Po-
tomac, there would have been nothing to re-
sist her, since the means by which New York
could have been protected against her
sinking vessels at the entrance to the port
would there have been unavailing. The cap
ital itself might have been bombarded, the
bridges connecting Washington with the
Virginia bank of the river destroyed, the
communications Of our army broken, the
crossing of re-enforcements and supplies in
terrupted. the Cabinet and Congress put to
flight; and had simultaneous advance of
the rebel forces taken place from Centreville,
a vietsry might have followed that would
have gone far to secure the recognition of the
Confederaey at home, and raised shouts of
exultation among our enemies abroad.
Our safety, in one important respect, is
owing TO the mistake of the rebel commander.
buchanan is msn of great energy of char
acter. Overbearing and exacting to degree
which made him constantly odious TO his
subordinate, he yet possesses an efficiency
and zeal which, under good guidance, would
render him formidable foe. His eager i'm
pulses, however, seem TO have misled him, in
the present instance, into false line of ac-
ton. Had he, instead of originally assailing
the inefficient frisates, or the scarcely more
active steamers. that so feebly guarded their
important post, steamed directly up the
/ Chesapeake toward Washington, there was
nothing TO impede his departure. Had he,
after the irst days battle, avoided another
collision, and made his escape at once to as
sail us elsewhere, the result, instead of being
the barren success of day, might have been
almost decisive of the fate Of the war. As
ii is. great opportunity has been lost to the
rebels, which il should be our business to
prevent their ever regaining. For this pur-
pose the utmost promptness and efficiency
should be infused into our action. All de-
SicIlutSe
which should reIder their recurrence impos-
sible. Every element of vigorous warfare
should be seized upon, and used with the
most decisive effect. Every energetic COM
mander should be brought into the most &C.
tive service. Nothing should be trusted to
time, and nothing be ri,ked in the hands Of
di:atory. timid, or unenterprising Generals.
The old officers Of our Army and Navy in
the rei'el ranks seem fighting with all the
energy of hate against US, ike Milton's evil
angels against the Most High. We cannot
afford 10 daily with such adversaries. TO en-
counter the hazards of prolonged inaetion,
or to forego 4 single advantage in the life

THE INTERNAL TAX BILL.

The internal tax bill reported by the ways
and means committee of the House contains
lO9 sections, and would fill ten columns of
The Caledonian. 1t will be much discussed
and perhaps altered before its passage; for
in the lack of financial wisdom and of full
statistical information, the committee has ad-
justed the burdens very unequally in some
respects. 1t has also omitted to tax slaves
which could be made to bear S. per head
and it levies far 700 little on liquors and ci-
gars, those indulgences which men will have
at almost any cost. Cotton, too, whose king
ly assumptions have brought on the war, is
permitted to escape.

What the Merrimac Might have Done.

The Tribune. in speaking of the disasters
which We escaped by the timel, arrival of
TIE Monitor. draws the following vivid pic
ture:
when We consider the possibilities of dis
aster involved in the unexpected attack of
the Merrimac, at Hampton Roads. We are
overwhelmed with the magnitude of the dam
ger which was impending over our uneon-
scious heads. The first success Of the at
tack, and the utter destruction of the Cum
berland and Congress, show what it was pos
sible for an iron-clad vessel of this kind TO
accomplish. Obviously no vessel of our
navy, and no combination Of them. had the
smallest chance of success in conflict with
her. Cased in impenetrable armor, she was
invulnerable by their weapons and strength
ened for dashing in by her PROV the sides of
any ordinary ship, it would seem difficult for
such vessels to escape destruction in con-
fict with her. 1t seems almost certain that
the Minnesota and Roanoke must have fall
en- victims to her second days assault; and
that nothing but the opportune arrival of the
Monitor saved them from the same disasters
which had so speedily destroyed the frigates
the day before. At the best the Minnesota
might perhaps have escaped by superior
speed. Nothing more than this could have
been hoped for, while the Roanoke must in
I eyitably have surrendered.
/ The possible results of the escape of the
Merrimac from harbor for Norfolk to the
omen ocean it is impossible to contemplate
without a shudder. In whatever direction
her force was applied it must have proved
overpowering. If she had turned her course
southwark against the blockading squadrons
OF the coast, the whole of them must have
either fled or fallen victims to her terrific fire.
But the most terrible result would perhaps
have followed an attack by the Merrimac

The Presidents Emancipation Policy.

A Committee in the Kentucky Legislature has re-
port d 0ga'"'t cmancipating their slaves for com.
pensatIon, IN accordance with the Recommendation
of President Lincoln. Although no legislative ac.
ton has yet been taken the subject there can be
no doubt that Kentucky will follow the example Of
Missouri in her action upon it.
1t Is very clear that none of the Border States are
prepared to take any stePs towards emancipation.
There Is undoubtedly party in each of them in
favor of that policy but it is az yet in minority in
them all Upon no subject does public sentiment
move so slowly in every part Of tho South as upon
