Politics and the Army.

Senator Wilson in late speech re
marked that of s'the one hundred an6
ten Brigadier-G Generals, eighty haG
been opponents to the present Admin
istration, and. all the officers in com
rsands,. wien one exception, were oppo
nents Of che Administration" This
condition of things arises from desire
by the President, who made these APP
pointments of old political opponents
TO avoid giving any excuse for the
charge, that the Republicans, having
succeeded to the government, were
wsging the war for the Purposes o
abolition" propagandism. Nova
days, however, this fact is quietly ~
nored, and the disparity is accounted
for on the ground of the superior pat
ietism of the democracy.

THE LATE TARIFF AMEsDnrSr.

THE LATE TARIFF AMENDMENT
Mr.. Chase interprets the late amend
msnt to the tariff, levying increased
duties on tea, coffee, sugar and molas-
ses, to apply to goods already in ware
house, thus giving it an ec post facto
operation. 1t seems that the reading
Of the law justises this construction, al
though it gives greas dissatisfaction fo
the merchants, asd Mr.. Morrill,, who
reported the amendments, says that he
did not intend them to bsay such con.
struction.

flag OF truce from the rebels requested
permission to bury their dead, and an
hSur Was granted for the purpose, when
they fell back on their Notifications,

A special dispatch to the Cincinnati
Commercial, dated Huttonville, Va,
Jan. 6, says a force consisting of 400
of the 25th Ohio, 800 of the I'd Virgin
ia, and 3e of Bracken's Cavalry, the
whole under command OF Major Geo.
Webster, of the 25th Ohio, returned to-
day, after all absence of six days, hav-
ing marched to Huntersville, the depot
for rebel supplies in Western Virginia,
attacked and put to flight an equal reb-
ell force, and burned all the rebel stores.
The rebel force consisted of 400 regu-
lar cavalry, armed with Sharp's car
bines, and from 800 to 500 infantry and
militia. Their cavalry attacked us two
miles from Huntersville. We drove
them from point to point, and finally
they beat hasty retreat out of town
as we charged through it. Their sup
supplies, consisting of $50 barrels Of
-four, 800 sailed beeves, 5000 pounds
of salt, and large quantities of sugar,
coffee, rice, bacon, army clothing, &C.,
worth from $25, 900 to $4,000, were
entirely destroyed. We also took a
large number Of Sharp's carbines, sa-
bres, pistols, &c. One rebel was killed
and seven wounded. We had one man
seriously wounded. TWAS a complete
success. Maj. Webster and his COM
mand behaved gallantly throughout.
The march was a severe one of one
hundred and four miles, but the boys
returned in glorious spirits. The Stars
and Stripes were left floating on the
court house.

THE Mississippi RIVER Exprp1r1o

THE MISSISSIPPI RIVER EXPEDITION.
This expedition is in great state
of forwardness. The number of gun
boats to be used is twelve, of mortar
boats or bomb ketches 3s, and of tugs
and steamboats, 2s-seventy eight in
all. The gunboats are absolutely shot
proof, having been proved to be so by
actual superintendent will carry a
very heavy armament; and the mortar
boats are SO constructed that they can
be used for bridges, besides carrying
each one of the heaviest mortars used
in modern warfare, and being loop
holed for musketry. 1t is believed thu
no defenses of the rebels can stand
against this formidable armada.

STEAMSHIP CATAwBA, off Charleston,
Saturday, Dec. 81, 1861.

Saturday, Dec 81, 1861.
The main channel Of approach to
Charleston harbor has been destroyed.
Sixteen stonefilled hulks, placed check
erwise across the passage, in the deep
est water, just at the inner and outer
edge of the bar, are the mediums
through which this glorious retribution
has been measured out.
The vessels which have been sunk
left Port Royallast Tuesday, under the
direction of Fleet Captain Charles II.
Davis, of the Wabash. They were
nearly all condemned whalers, some OF
them sixty and seventy years of age
the queerest, quaintest specimens of
ship-building afioat.
On Thursday morning, the light
house, which had loomed vastly through
the haze the evening before, was not to
be seen; but look through our glasses
showed us its ruins on the ground.
The fact explained a loud explosion
which had been heard on shore soon
after dark.
Surprising that our whalers were
first class frigatss come to lombard the
city, the rebels had blown the light
house up, that the bearings of the chan
mel might be lost. The trick hurt no.
body except themselves, but, after all,
lighthouses henceforth will be useless
establishments at Charleston.
At O'Clock on Thursday afternoon,
the channel had been BOWED, and the
old Tenedos was soon afterwards lowed
to her final mornings. The position
chosen for her was at the northeastern
edge Of the passage, and she grounded
where there is eighteen feet of water
at high tide. Probably she is anchored
as firmly as her island namesake of the
Egean Sea. The Lconidas was next
sink, in the same depth of water, an
eighty OF a mile distant from the other.
These two vessels formed the right and
left TANKS of the barricading column,
and the remaining fourteen settled
down comfortably between them.
The wrecks are not ranged in q
straight line across the channel. That
arrangement might prove an effective
blockade for time, but not permanent
ly. The theory of Captain Davis was,
that the inland water about Charleston
must have channel to the sea, and if
the usual one were arti6cially closed
another would naturally open. His
scientific mind devised another plan.
The hulks are placed in three lines
checkerwise. This arrangement not
only does not prevent the passage of
the water, but forms series Of sh oals
around which the tide will whirl and
eddy, making an intricate labyrin ID
which no vessel could navigate.

The Legislature assembled at IL
o'clock on Thursday last in pursuance
Of the Governors proclamation. There
were twsnty-six members of the Sem
atssand sixty Eve of the House present,
and six of the former and eighteen of
the latter were absent. At halfpast
two the two Houses met in convention
t. receive the message of the Governor.
1t was delivered in person, copy of
which will be found in another column.
After brief introduction, the Govern
or refers to the act of Congress of Au-
gust last, providing for a direct tax, the
proportion of which required to be paid
by Michigan is $5ol,76 This he re-
commends the State to assume, instead
Of allowing it to be collected by United
States officers, in which case it may be
effset by the present claims of the State
against the General Government. He
next refers to Secretary Stewards cir
cular of October, on the Lake coast
Notifications. He expresses the opin-
son that England is seeking pretext
3 for a Yaption with this country, and
recommends that Michigan he placed
IN . state of defense, chiefly by the
purchase of large supplies of arms. He
then recommends the Reorganization
of the Militia, and the enrolment of
She entire body subject to draft at any
sime. Also, that Congress be urged to
establish naval station in some prop
or harbor of this State. He states that
the State has raised for service in the
present war about "a, 900 men, the cost
of organizing which will be in all some
100000. He recommends that the
act for the relief of families of yolup-
teers be amended SO as to be more
stringent and more uniform in its oper-
atoms. The message, as whole, is a
sound, heightened, patriotic document,
and it's recommendation cannot fail,
we think, to meet the general approval
Of the people.

with their improvements and dwelling
houses. The personal property is to
escape altogether, if this rule is fol
lowed, and it seems that the constitu-
ton OF the United States will permit no
other rule to be adopted in case the tax
is assessed aud collected by the Federal
Government. Section SO, however,
enacts "that any State or Territory
may lawfully assume to assess, collect
and pay into the Treasury of the United
States the direct tax, or its quota there.
Of, in its own way and manner, and by
and through its own officers, assessors
and collectors" And i'm case of such
assumption and payment, or assessment
and collection, deduction of fifteen
per centum will be made from the quota
OF direct tax apportioncd to the
State or Territory, notice of the same
being given to the Secretary of the
] Treasury on or before the second day
! of February next. The same section
(53) contains proviso to the effect that
"the amopnt o. direct tax apportoned
to any State shall be liable to be paid
and satisfied, in whole or in part, by the
release of such State, duly executed to
the United States, of any liquidate and
determined claim of such State of equal
amount against the United States"
And IN that case the same deduction is
allowed in case of actual payment into
the Treasury. In order to secure such
deduction it is also required that pay
ment into the Treasury be made on or
before the last day of June in the year
10 which such payment relates.
