The Way The llOney Goes.

Onr readers are pretty well posted as TO
ihe way the public money has been plum
dered by the FremonJers, Cameronians, and
Welesiles We now submit, from good
Republican authority, specimen of fnan>
ciai economy in The U. S Senate, under the
administration o! lis Secretary the renegade
and rnercenary Form ey. The following is
an extract from a recent speech of Senator
Hale, OF New Hampshire
81 have endeavored 10 arrest some of our
expenditures here in the Senate and now
! will mention another fact TO this economi-
cal Senate, all OF whom agree that econo-
my is so necessary. We are reduced in
numbers; We are about forty nine instead
OF sixty eight, as we used 10 he : and yet
we are administering the Senate to-day
vastly more exPensivelY, with mors officers
aid more salaries Than we ever paid before
We require our Secretary at the com>
mencement of every year 10 give Us list
o! his EN- ployees, their number and COM
pensalion. | have looked at The list for the
last eight or Ten years, and the list to-day
Is nearly double what it was len years ago,
and the salaries are much higher"
And this state OF things is tolerated and
sanctioned by Black Republican Senate,
at time when the Government is running
into debt at the rate OF nearly two millions
day TO carry on the war, and Congress j:
abont levying upon the people an annua
tax of more than one hundred millions o.
dollars The Jsfersoaian.

Irving TO Whi,ewash Elm.

We notice that the Abolition press, head.
ed by sslhat horrible monster GreeIy,D are
making Iabofed effcrt, with the assistance
ofths Republican War Committee of Con-
gress, 10 white wash Gen. Fremont. But
we opine that all their efforts will fail 10 re-
instate their pst in the confidence of the
people. I. is well 10 observe: in passing,
that the Committee who attempted to exiri
cafe Fremont from the grave charges against
him have not presumed to report any ything,
either to Congress CT the people, which
tends in the slightest degree TO remove, or
exienuate The said charges. But the aboli
lionisss 60 so.far as TO presume as the Com
mitiee did mol report against him, thai they
have really vindicaied his course aud acts.
So much for Abolition Imagination
We believe there is no, military man of
any prominence whatever, but that con
demns The generalship Of Fremont in his
Western Campaign. Independent of the
charges OF corruption and exiravagance, be
stands 10 day cohvicied OF the most unpar-
donable bluuders in all his military opera
tions. He allowed Springfield TO fall, when
he could have easily prevented it. He
renamed passiyeIy al ST Louis, and wit
messed The fall ol Lexington, when he could
easily have reinforced the garrison, and
driven the enc my away. He never dared,
or al least did not, move against Price until
compelled 10 90 so. And when he did
move. he rushed biindly on. and would un-
coubiedIy have fallen into The trap prepared
for him By his crafty opponent, had he
no, been remosed from the command.
We have seen no a,tempt by any one in
possession OF the facts, 10 explain away
these matters. But We do know that The
moment Gen. Hunter was placed in COM
mand Of Fremont's army--seeing the dan
ger into which the latter was bIindly march

Ihe FAX Rill.

Alter political existence OF more than
seventy years, we are for the first time driv
en- into a system of internal taxation as a
permanent policy or measure-a system
which will connect nearly every act or en-
joyment with 3 contribution into the Ma
lional Trcasury. We have left behind, and
perhaps, forever, the golden era in our his.
tory which but for the experience we have
furnished, wouid in after ages have been
regarded as one Of those ficiious that set off
the excellencies and immuniiies of that
primitive epoch which every nation pic
lures to itself as realizing its highest cor
cepiion of the social condition. Our Gov
one attempted lis overthrow. But the spirit
of discord iha. has been lei loose has in
stanily brought our expenses up 10 those of
first class Power. We are called upou,
Ia a day, 10 provide revenue which, with
other nations, has been the work OF gener-
atoms, il not of centuries.
The principles upon which taxes should
be levied are always the same, and cannot
be TOO often iterated, now that we are en-
tering upon the practice. We very proba-
bly, tax luxuries because, as men can fore
go these without injury to themselves, or
the public, The tax works no Inconvenience
or harm. !, may be The instrument of good
We tax incomes, because incomes alone
means for the extension or transmission of
Intelligence, as all wealth, and progress,
and society itself, is based upon il. We
should not tax locomotion, as social inter-
course between people composing nation
is essential 10 domestic harmony. Where
such intercourse cannot be had, Govern
ment must be military despotism.
The greater part of the subjects present.
e6 for taxation in the bill reported are of
course very proper; but il strikes us tha,
several of them are a.pable violations Of
the principles laid down. The idea of tax
ing travel is new one in history. Loco
motion ought TO be encouraged in every
possible way, instead OF being suppressed
There is no experience so valuable, nor en-
ioyment so keen, as that afforded by it,
The nations of the Old World, who make
the welfare OF their subjects a special study
compel public carriers to establish rates for
The poorer classes at one third the price
paid by the wealthy. The most gratifying
results have follwed, as beneficial 10 the
railroad companies as to the people.
The proposed tax upon travel is mos
unphilanthropic and unsiaiesmanIike. Il
may be an effective mode of raising money
So would forced loan upon banks and in
surance companies But ak such modes
proceed from Incidence, or from an unwil.
linsness to place the burden where it be-
longs. So with tax upon the diffusion oi
intelligence. Iiis certainly remarkable thai
republican America should impose a tax
upon newspapers, the great educators in
modern times, al almost tie same momea

Pssmont again In Command.

There has been good deal said about
this man Fremont. He has given this ad
minis,ration some considerable uneasiness.
In short it has obeyed the biddings OF Ere
moat and his abolition friends. A co,em-
porary has hit off the following which we
can endorse as being truthful and 10 the
point:
"Gen Fremont is again restored TO ac-
tive service, and assigned to command -
He was removed by the President, il will
be recollecied, few months since, because
of his reckles expenditure OF the public
monies, his want of military capacity, and
his total disregard of both law and the con-
slitution. These were the charges against
him, and the President was compelled 10
remove him and thus save his command
from annihiIation And yet this man, reek
ing with fraud and corruption, and respon-
sible for the death OF Lyon and the capture
of Mulligan, and who, according 10 the re-
port of The investigating Committee, squan-
dered ten millions of1oiiars, in few months
-this man, we say, has been restored TO a
command Fremont has never attempted
to settle his account with the Government,
nor has be been asked 10 settle, but with
unblushing assurance has put both the
Government and the Pfesiden, al defiance,
and by threats and menaces has conn pelled
the President to Gave" TO his imperious de
mands. Ever since the removal of FIRE.
mont, the aboliiionists have demanded his
restoration, threatening opposition TO the
administration if their demand was not
complied with. Greeley, in his Tribune,
was most insoIent and overbearing. and
told the President, in plain language, that a
refusal 10 restore Fremont would organize
an opposition TO tie administration that
would prove fierce and powerful. This is
the way the Abolitionists talk TO the admin
istraiion when they want TO accomplish a
purpose and yel we hear no complain; from
those pukish journals who are constantly
telling theft readers iha; the opposition of a
Democratic editor to the ''powers that be .
or 10 the robbers is disguised treason. Oh.
no-impudeni aa1 reasonable abolitionism
can rob, steal, plunder, denonnce the Pes
ident, his Cabinet, and scoff at the Consti-
tuition and it is all right and proper, but let
a Democrat attempt these things, and wLat
pack of yelping whIfe;s will be at his
heels.
But, 'old Abe" has succumbed-he
quaied before the frowns OF Greeley, Sum-
ner, Lovejoy aud other secessionists, and
has again commissioned Fremont and given
him command in State ha, despises him.
The President has thus assumed FremoRts
deinquencies, and he must bear the odium.
Would that oar country had Jackson in
the Presidents chair, if butfor one month
Then Government robbers aud military
blunderers would be brought TO a SPECIFY
and terrible account"

CoNGREss had -abbut as well adjourn as
TO SET al Washington City day in and day
out, discussing the negro question. A bill is
before The House to abolish slavery in the
District of Columbia This has been al
tempted time and again. years ago, by the
Aboiitionists, but always signally failed -
To Us il occurs that this is not the time for
Congress to be thus engaged. How dis
heartening il must be 10 the Union men OF
Kentucky, Tennessee, Missouri and North
Carolina, 10 know that the Federal Congress
is endeavoring to abolish slavery in the
District of Columbia besi des the efforts that
are being made TO accomplish the passage
of general emancipation act. Yes, we re-
peat, this must be dscouraging 10 the Union
men in the South. Slavery is not the cause
of this war, said the Republican party, as
we'll as the traitors, therefore why allow the
black hearted Abolitionisls to bring this
question in the contest? The South rebelled
because they wished 10 establish a South
ern ConfeGeracy, and as soon as this was
attempted the Federal authorities rose in
tnelf HlShl ioI me purpose OF Crushing onl
this rebellion and thus prevent dissolution
of the Union. Our purpose is to preserve
this Union in tact as it was under the true
provisions and spirit OF the Constitution =
We are opposed 10 bringing more questions
10 the field than can be we'll gotten along
with. Let US settle the question oil seces-
sion first; after this is done, il will be time
enough to listen 10 the Aboliionists, every

II does not appear that this war is being
prosecuted uponthe principle first espoused.
The war was inevitably for the Union-the
holding together OF these States. Al present
il would seem different, if we may look at
and Judge the actions of Congress with any
thing like its true character. Here is a bill
introduced, declaring the rebel States all
territory another is introduced TO prohibit
Slavery, and finally the President delivers
an emancipation message 10 Congress,
wherein resolution is proposed for the
consideration of the House, setting forth
that the United States oughtto CO operate
with any State which may adopt gradual
adjustment of slavery, giving such state
pecunjarg aid Here is bid for the negro
any State wishing to sell out her stock Of
negroes now is the time. But whether our
people will be content 10 be taxed in order
10 purchase negroes which to us would be
worthless trash We have our doubts. The
war programme may have changed TO a
war of gradual emancipation OF slavery II
was not the negro last April, but we fear BY
the first of April nexbii will be the negro in
earnest, If not that already.

Federal forces numbering about 5000 and
the rebel 5000. This was a victory for
us, over the combined forces of the rebel
Generals, Jackson, Smith and Longsreet =
The enemy was completely routed with il
is supposed, heavy loss. Oar loss is stated
TO be about so killed and 100 wounded.
Among our loss are fourteen Captains sad
one Colonel William Murray This is the
first victory for Gen. Shields, since his
being placed in the command of the late
Gen. Lander Il is stated that Shields was
wounded in the arm, at this engagement
The battle was desperate and well con-
tested, our men fighting like old regulars.
Our Cavalry are still in pursuit of the re.
treating enemy. The rebel loss was heavy.
Large quantities OF arms, ammunition and
clothing have fallen into our hands. 1t will
be observed that another victory has been
achieved by our soldiers over superior
force in number
