A CHARTERED GOVERNMENT VESSEL
WRECKED

MARROW ESCAPE OF THOSE ON BOARD.
The ferry.boat Hoboken, which, together with the
Chancellor Livingston, was chartered by the Gov
eminent a few months since, and ordered for
service at Port Royal, was wrecked near Cape
Henry Oh the 9th uit. aud all hands board mar
rowly escaped an untimely death. The Hoboken
had been diverted by Government from her original
destination to assist in laying toe Submarine Ielo-
graph wires in Chesapeake Bay. On Sunday, the
I'D, she accomplished the layiog OF fifteen miles Of
cable, returning to Fortress Monroe the same day
On the next day (Monday) the work was resumed.
and continued up TO III o'clock p. M, when they
were Obliged to cut the wire on account OF tho yio-
| lence of the wind, which was commencing TO blow
gale. The boat was then headed for Fortress
Monroe: The sea and wiud, both being high, COM
PEELED them TO abandon the attempt, and they thon
.eered for lee under Cape Henry, the boat labor
ing very much in the heavy sea.
At 2 p. m. they passed within three miles of tho
u. 5. gunboat Cambridge, lying at anchor in the
bay, with signals of distress flying but no notice
WAS taken Of it by the gnnboat. At balfpast 2 tho
boat was partially disabled by one Of toe side pipes
giving wav, which caused considerable escape Of
steam. The boat continued on, partially drifting,
until half past D. NJ, when it brought up bottom,
about 100 yards from shore, and commenced immedi
aieiy to break up, when ten extra barbor-meu, tho
telegraph operators and part OF toe crew, took 70
the boats and succeeded in gaining the shore. Tho
| remainder OF the crew, numbering thirty persons,
were oblged TO cling TO the wreck during the entire
night, exposed without food to the bitter cold. The
boat labOred severely during the night, and early
the next morning all aft the whee-houss separated,
leaving on the wreck eighteen Of the crew in the
pilot-house, ard Frank McDonough Of HobOken aud
twelve contrabands on the atter-deck, which bad
nearly separated from the hull. On Tuesday morn.
ing Mc Douough and bis party cut the deck on which
they stood loo-e and orited on shore. A. ii q. m.
tbs boats ON shore put and rescued the remaining
eighteen, aud al hour later they were taken on
board the 5. r. SpauldIng and were sabsequently
sent home. Nine OF the party reside in Hoboxen.

SHALL REBEL OR LOYAL PROPERTY BE
CONFISCATED?
r. the Editor Of The n. Z Tribune.

To the Editor Of The n. Tribune.
SIR; In reprinting from The Eeeaiag Poa re-
cent letter of mine under tue above title you remark
that you dissent from the views there expressed ia
regard to the difficulty of collecting the taxes which
the country has imposed upon itself in putting
down tue rebellion. do not doubt that the taxes
can be collected. Ny belief that such collection
would be difficult. in the Western States, was based
upon personal knowledge of the facts, that largo
tracts of land belonging to residents as well as NON"
resldents), have been sold in Illinois, Wisconsin,
Iowa and Missouri, Of late years, local Estate and
Couuty taxes-that in Illinois tho collection OF taxes
was postponed By the last Legislature several
months, in large portion of the State, AZ matter OF
actual necersitvthat in some counties in Wisconsin
il was postponed whole year, and practically re.
Inited to those counties-that the necessary taxes
for State purposes cannot be col ected ia Missouri,
and could not be even before the had desolated
the State-that Senator Wilkinson said recently in
public debate, on the Geo. ID. Morgan case that no
had already voted taxes upon Minnesota 'chsch the
people could NOT pay. A heavy Federal land tax is
supposed to be among the revenue measures to be
incorporated in the bin being perfected by the
Ways and Means Committee.
mat WHICH i Nleucu w Ptcoeusp
in the letter referred to- that the people would
be very loath TO tax themselves with debt Of
$50 600 900 Tor more probably $1,000 600, OOo, if
plain way could be shown to make The Rebes pay II.
That way cen be- has been, shown. Coniiscate their
property, real and personal. Senator Trumbnlfs
bin. which has received the assent of the Judiciary
Committee, does the thing. Garrett Daviss bill, in
troluced last December, proposed " DO the same
thing, and az tie ray, although change seems
lately to have come over the spirit of the Keutu:sy
Senator dream. 1t wac a mistake undoubtedly tba1
Congress did not take Mr. Daviss I'LL and press il
when it Was introduced, amending ii merely us to the
final disposition Of the coDfscated estates. The bill
deca ed the Rebels to be alien enemies Of the United
States aud conllsca,ed their property as such, be.
1t. wing it upon such loyal citizens as might have
been despcled by the rebellion and those who might
have been wounded, or have lost their natural pro-
tectors in battle. The principle was the ZANE as
that of Judge Trumbulls bill far ~ related to the
eon,iscalion. Ii the bill had been passed at lhat
time more than one hundred thousand dollars worth
OF property might have been reached belonging to
the Rebel Gen. Bucauer, whose capture, alter
three.days' fight in which some 1000 Union soldiers
were either killed or MANNED for life, has prevented
the arpca,on OF the bill him. he no longer being
AN alien enemy outside Of our Jurisdiction. Ii. W.
