ments.
The following is q carefully prepared
resume of the substantive amendments to
the tax bill, passed by the House, which
were adopted by the Finance Committee of
the Senate and reported to that body. We
have taken no note of the numerous
amendments to the sections relating to the
machinery of collection, since they were
made to carry out, not to alter the intent
of those sections. There are also few
provisos of which we have made no men.
tion, inserted for the purpose of relieving
certain articles from a double tax. But all
the changes in the amount or character of
the taxes imposed will he found below, in
the order in which they appear in the
amended bill
Distilled and Mali Liquors Distilled liz
quors are charged 20 instead Of Is cents
per gallon. That on hand remains untax-
ID, because, as is understood, the commit
tee being equally divided, could make no
change. The tax on malt liquors remains
at 81 per barrel.
Ltcerses.-Rectifers instead of paying
800 for each license, are charged $25 for
each license to rectify any quantity of
spirituous liquors not exceeding 500 bar
rels or casks, containing not more than 40
gallons to each barrel or cask, and $25 ad-
ditional for each additional 500 barrels, or
fractional part thereof.
The sections requiring horse dealers, cat
tie brokers, aud manufacturers to be llcen-
/ sed, are stricken out.
Coal oil distillers are to pay $50 instead
of $50. ~
Manufactured 44rtieles or Products.

ranging from . mills to II cents. Ground
coffee, 1 cent instead of mills per pound.

smoking, 20 instead of 10 and cents =

Did they fail to hear the piercing cries OF
the widows aud orphans around the hearths
MADE desolate by this uuholy war-this
last desperate effort to establish feudal ar
lstocracy and tyranny on the ruins of the
Republic THAT they should cling TO the
skeleton of system that has nOurished
their power of destruction. Had thev for
gotten that the operation of this principle
had destroyed all the prestige and glory of
the Old Dominion-making hewers of
wood and drawers of water of the freemen
of West Virginia for fifty years past; requir-
ing US to pour hundreds of thousands of
hard earned dollars into her always emp
ty Golfers annually, to improve and en-
rich the Eastern part of the State
our Richmond dictators granting us occa-
sionally mud pike on the % principle:
that is, throwing us a bone as they would
to hungry dog? In our case, the
shackles were fastened on white men
However, our disenthrallment has begun,
and If anything will give the new State of
West Virginia chance in the great coun-
ellis of the Nation, it will be the voluntary
vote cast at the recent election-nine-
tenths of which declared for free State.
There is wisdom in making the best we can
of bad bargain, and if the Legislature
cannot put better face on the matter,
and we fail in Congress, on account of
their disposition not to make two slave
States out of one, let the free State men
go to work to redeem the whole State
from the blighting rule of the Eastern
oligarchy. We must let the lording
politicians know that we are no logger to
be led or driven by their nod or lash, rs
though having no minds of our own; that
we will hereafter act, think and study the
affairs of our country for ourselves that
we have learned by wofnl experience how
to appreciate the cant epithets of 'aboli- |
zionist" and "Black Republican," so fire. !
quently used by secessionists, according to |
a general plan Of the X: G. c., TO weaken
the Union cause. Such slang terms will
be understood by US TO mean demngogu
ism. got up to serve the purpose of hypo-
critical ambition. We have also learned
that those very persons who have been
charged with abolitionism are the simon
pures of loyalty-uAcoWdition for the
Union-whiIe those who are so busy
making the charge turn out to be the dis.
guised foes of the Republic.

THE FALL OF NEW ORLEANS.

The following correspondence is rather spicy CAPT. FARRAGuTs DEMAND FOR THE SURRENDER oI
 NEW ORLEANS.
 UNITED STATES FLAGSHIP HAIR rFoRD,
 OFF NEW ORLEANS, April 26, 1862 ! To His Ezcellency the Mayor of the City of Nsu Upon my arrival before your city had the honor to send to your Honor Capt. Bailey, U s N., second in command of the expedition, to de. mand of you the surrender of New Orleans to me- as the representative of the Government of the United States. Capt. Bailey reported the result of an interview with yourself and the mil itary authorities.
 It must occur 10 your Honor that it is not within the province of naval officer to assume the duties of military commandant. I came here to reduce New Orleans to obedience to the laws of, and to vindicate the offended majesty ef, the Government of the United States The rights of persons and property shall be secured l therefore demand of you. as its representative, the unqualified surrender of the city, and that the emblem of the sovereignty of the United States be hoisted over the City Hall, Mint and Custom house by Meridian, this day, and all flags and other emblems of sovereignty other than this of the United States be removed from all the pub lie buildings by that hour.
 particularly request that you shall exercise your authority to quell disturbances restore or der, and call upon all the good people of New Orleans to return at once to their vacations; and l particularly demand that no person shall be molssted in person or property for sentiments of loyalty to their Governmet
 shall speedily and severely punish any per- son or persons who shall commit such outraqes as ,eere pitnessed yesterday, by armed men firing upon helpIsss ssomen and children for ezpressing their pleasure ct yitnessing the "old.f .fag" am, very respectfully, DC. FARRAG UT, Flag Officer
 Western Gulf Squadron.

Washington Correspondence.

FRIEND HUMPHREY: :-l see by your last that you complain of @ dearth of local news. wish I could do something to relieve you, but the truth is, the telegraph so outstrips the mail that news written becomes stale before you re- ceive it. Here our appetite for news is not on ly never satisfied, but becomes more clamorous by indulgence. We exult in our glorious victo ries, but are'almost dissatisfied unless we gain one daily. Sometimes an unpleasant rumor di versi6es the scene. Sundays are prolific o tales of danger and disaster. Soon after Me Dowell moved South. one Sunday evening, large bodies of troops marched through the City to wards the Long Bridge-other troops moved il another direction. Nobody knew what it meant Certain military gentlemen looked exceedingl, wise, but were as ignorant as the rest. Specula tion was rife. People screwed each other up and by ten o'clock, it was confidently whispered that large rebel force had passed between Banks and McDowell, and were marching upon the City. Of course, every body said they were not afraid-not they-but it leaked out next l AASA AAhSs enos eASoC OtoVC OLeS u0u pflHaLSIy packed their trunks over night.
 Congress makes little progress. The Tax and Con6scation Bills finger in the Senate. h what shape they will become laws, no one car foresee. In the House, the Republicans occa sionally amuse themselves by quarrelling with each other.
 The excitement caused in the City by the pas sage of the Act emancipating slaves in this Dis trict, has nearly subsided. Many valuable slaves were run of into Maryland before the Act was passed. The owners of others are willing to ac. cept what the Act provides for them, and others still contend that the Act is unconstitutional and void
 Come and see us, MT. Editor. A score ot Forts around this City will not only ensure your safety, but vii! satisfy you that Uncle Sam, bless his honest old soul } can protect his own hearth-stone and altars, besides administering a little wholesome chastisement te his rebellious kinsmen. Axox. Washington, May 3d, 1862.
Litchfield enquirer., 1862-05-08

ALL the additional intelligence we have in reference to the capture of New Orleans, is re- ceived from the rebels, by way of Fortress Mon roe. From indications, which have been per- mitted to leak out, it seems that the success is even more important than at first appeared. The redoubtable Commodore Rollins, who passed through Columbia, s. C., on his way to Rich mond, expresses himself as perfectly amazed at the fall of the city, as there were one hundred heavy guns in position on the levee below. and the iron-clad Louisiana was ready and waiting, while numerous boarding parties had been or ganized to board and take the National vessels at all hazards It appears to be certain that the Louisiana was engaged in some manner, as information had been received in Norfolk that Mcintosh, her commander, had been wounded. It is also stated that Capt. Huger, supposed to have commanded the rebel gunboat McRae, was mortally wounded.
