COUNT xERcma's vnir.
Mr. Greeley expresses himself very decided.
y, In The INdpmisni, respecting Count Asr-
cler's visit 70 Richmond. He writes an srticls
In the above-named journal, Of Thursdayt
date, under his signature, in the coune Of
which he says: ts.r..N. ..0
"Count Nercier, The French AMBASSADOR st
Washington. whose recent visit 10 Norfolk end
Richmond has naturally excited an interest
which be declines TO gratify, ID personally init.
mats with many Of the rebel lesders, and 10 re-
garded by them a at heart well-wisher to
iheir cause. That be formally visited them 10
any official capacity, Ia not probsble; bat thst
he bore TO them Q friendly messsge from hb
imperial master, assuring them Of Nspoleonf
desire 10 interposs BIB good ofices between
them and destruction, 10 scarcely questionable.
That The Emperor believes the lime at length
arriv d In which his Interpolation might arrest
The prodigal effusion Of blood aud restore peace
70 this distracted country BY some acceptable
compromise between the combatants, this mis-
sion clearly indicates. The pretence that the
pisnip Aeniiary Of d great Power passed through
the lines Of hostile armies 10 the capital
Of . rebellion, on . purely nercantile errand,
impelled BY his soverslgu's interest 10 lot of
tobacco, Gao deceive no one. Any Of ths French
consuls In the seeded States could have done
such an errand without the sid II . steam ffi-
gate. n. Aercier's business iu Richuood was
of far higher Importance, and far more consist
ent with The dignity Of bis position"
The view taken by Mr.. Greeley Of the object
Of the visit alluded 10 does not generally Obtain
here.
THE TAX BILL
It is now considered certain that the Senate
Finance Committee will not materially, at least,
not radically, change the House bill. II will
soon be reported to the Senate II will evi
aently take month TO pass the tax and tariff
bills into law perhaps Two months. Con
gress will, therefore, not adjourn al an early
day, as some Of the members seem 10 expect.
Liquors on hand al the time Of the ps.sage oi
the act will not be taxed. The Ways and
Means Committee is against this proposition
and the Finance Committee Is divided upon II
three TO three. II will not, therefore, bt
adopted. Quite large number Of people are
In town, trying to urge upon the COMMITTEES I
variety Of amendments to the House bill N
far without much success.
GENERALS IN CONGRESS. ...
Two generals were ventilated 10 the Hous,
yesterday sy-Genefals Smith and Grant Mr.
Morrill, offered the letter Of Gen. Smith, and
the statement oil The officers Of bis division L
prove that tbe statement respecting bis drunk
enness in the sflair at Lees Mill, was false
Mr.. Morrill, also gave the evidence, that Of ,
civilian, upon which be based his statemen
made some Time since in the House Nj
Wsshburne aired the charges against Gsu
Grsut-of drunkenness and incapacity at tb,
battle Of Pittsburg Landing-contending tha
tbey were cruelty false. Ar. Richardson, o
Illinois. thought somebody had better read th,
riot act 10 The two branches Of Congress, snt
disperse them, for be did not like TO see mem
bers employed 10 this way.
THE "wHITE MEN" OF DELAWARE.
Mr.. Fisher last night showed up the extra
ordinary sympathy Of Senator salisbury fol
"ths white men" Of Delaware, who he said II
the Senate had been dragged from their home'
to . neIghboring State, on the charge Of tres
son. According 10 Ar. Fisher, thess men wer
open and avowsd traitors 10 day or two
doubtlee, Nessrs. Powell and Salisbury will
take up The refrain again, snd the arrests mad
by the State Department last summer vii
form the staple Of more speeches.
THE oOSrRABANDs.
The New York Tract Society Is caring for th
"contrabsnds' In this city with commendabl
!: zeal and humanity. 1t has already eight Q
nine missionaries here Ut work among the co
ored refugees. II The society Is In doubt abou
the propriety Of publishing tracts on rlaver,
Il does not hesitate 10 attend TO the spiritu,
and intellectual wants Of fugitive slaves. Th
fact that the society has sent on its agents |
care for the coutrsbsnds, indicates the dept
Of the revolution In public sentiment whicI
has taken place within year.
