THE F IGHT AT CUNGHER-
LAND GAP. ISL
From tho Knoxviilo Register, March 90,

y. From tho Knoxville Register, March %,
We are indebted TO Capt. Gull
fGrl. Quartcrmastcr of tho sfdst at
Cumberland Gap, who arrived in
this city yesterday, iorthe follow
I in" particulars of the engagement
there on Saturday last, which resul-
lited u the repuIse OF the enemy. :.
The onomy drove in our pickcts
Friday evening about half-past 8
10 'cluck-ap hour after gen. Smith
! lctl The Gap. They then fllll back.
{; The attack was commenced about
! daylight on Saturday morning with
,nuskcuy. About 10 o'clock they
succeeded in getting two ritled can
non pieces in position to the right
t'ihe. kentucky road, about mile
and II half from our fortifications.
Wherever the enemy presented
himself in any force our batteries
she|lcd him, by which means he
learned the position Of our guns, to
which he directed his whole atten-
ton, but did no damage except
Knocking a spoke out of Y ca;sson
belonging to the Sd Maryland Artil-
lery, and sending a rifle ball through
the roof of the magazine Of one Of
our batteries.
4 musket ball from the enemy
fell in the valley this side Of the
mountain, striking one of Col. Bra
2clton's mules, breaking it's back.
Col. Rains is reported to have ac-
ted in the most gallant manner, ri
ding along the line Of Notifications
during the whole engagement. 1t
Is proper to state that Col. Rains
did net deem it necessary to fire,
except when the enemy We're in
force, and then his shot generally
scattered them like u flock OF trigh-
tened sheep.
The damage done to the enemy
VIC had no means OF ascertaning.
The casualties on our side were
9TH Georgia Regiment, Col. Mang-
han, commanding. Privates Smith
and Crowley, each wounded in the
'l.igh with extra large Minnie
balls.

Many ofour gunners distinguish
cd themselves by Their admirable
craftsmanship whenever the ene-e
my presented themselves in groups
sufficiently large to waste powder
on, but it would be invidious TO
mention names where all were burn
ling with noble ardor to show them
selves worthy Of the sacred cause in
which they are engaged.
Lieut. Miller, OF the 29th North
Carolina Regiment, was shot thro
The thigh, this side OF Powell's Riv-

Mr. THADDErs STEVENS orr THE TRAcK.-Mr
Thaddeus Stevens has been making another
speech in Congress in favor Of the infallible
abolition panacea for this Southern rebellion
to wit, the emancipation and arming of tho
slave population Of the South. Now, we re.
spectfully submit that, as Chairman of the Com.
mittee Of Ways and Means, all the talents,
learning. labor and time Of Mr.. Stevens are de-
manded at this crisis to provide the ways and
means necessary to prevent the Treasury and
the country from running into bankruptcy, and
that he Is of the track in neglectng the import
ant money question to dance to the silly music
of our abolition disorganizers on the negro
question. Let Mr.. Stevens stick to the financial
duties of his committee; for the liberation of
Uncle Sam is more pressing question than the
emancipation of Uncle Tom A little less Of
the Niger, and a little more money for the
Treasury, If you please, Mr.. Stevens.

THE SUMTER AT CADIz.-By the City of New
York we have received authentic intelligence
of the arrival of the privateer Sumter at Cadiz,
where she landed forty-two prisoners taken
from three federal merchant vessels which she
had destroyed at sea, the particulars Of which
we give in another column. This vessel, like
the Nashville, not content with capturing ves-
sells and taking them into port, makes prac-
tice Of wantonly destroying them, and ought to
be regarded by all the Powers as the enemy Of
commerce and civilization. II is necessary that
stop should be put to the career of such pi-
ratical cruisers; and, although we have one gun
boat already on the watch in the neighborhood
Of the English Channel, the government ought
TO send without delay five or six more to cruise
in the Mediterranean and elsewhere, and pre-
vent these dcprcdations on our shipping.
The New York herald., 1862-01-24

THE DIsrREssEs OF THE TRIBuNE.-The Tri-
bune announces, yesterday, that in consequence
of the hardness Of the times il has not made q
single cent during the past year. and 1t pres,imes
that all other newspapers have had the same
bitter experience. Alas for Greeley lie has
all along denied our charges that the Tribune
was losing concern; but now stern necessity
forces him to admit the hard truth. He says
.'we were poorer at the years end Qs6l) than
if we had slept through the year and not issued
a single copy" Such is the doleful tale of an
abolition editor. This explains his half price
advertisement in the HERALD. This accounts
for his dollar jewelry and gold pen gift enter
prise lottery. Poor Greeley When will he
learn that abolitionism does not pay, either in
this world or the next, and that true patriotism
like honesty, is the best policy. Since Greeley
is poorer than ever, there can be no chance of
his paying up that $4,000 Irish relief fund;
but he still has his nigger brigade to fall back
upon We, who have not had his sad trials in
pecuniary matters, will give 81 900 to send him
South, If he will only go.
The New York herald., 1862-01-24

THE GALLANT GENERAL SCHoEPrF-The asser-
ton had appeared in several papers that the
brave officer who has achieved for himself such
renown at Mill Spring, was formerly porter in
one of our hotels. Whenever such thing h
said of an individual who has distinguished him
self, it naturally goes the rounds, and is repeat
ed everywhere, for while, both orally and by
the press. In this instance, however, it appears
that the statement was erroneous. General
Schoepf while in Europe, was already known
as man Of no ordinary scientific attainments'
and shortly after his arrival in the United States
was appointed to position in the Patent Office,
where he attracted the favorable attention OF
General Scott, partly through whose influence
he was raised to the rank of Brigadier General
of volunteers at the beginning of the war. He
has fully realized the ancipations of his veteran
patron, and become an accomplished officer. In
correcting the mistake about General SchoepfE
however, our abolition contemporaries, so in
dulgent to slaves, profess much indignation that
it has ever been supposed for an instant that he
could, by any possibility, have held subordi-
nate or menial position. They affect to find
something degrading in the state of life from
which the General, according to the first story,
was said to have laudably risen. What non.
sense, inconsistency and shoddy-aristocracyism
II it were true that General Schoepff had once
been porter, so far from its being q disgrace.
ii would be the greatest credit to him. Some
OF Napoleon's abest marshals rose from the
lowest obscurity; Louis Philippe was once a
schoolmaster in the United States, and Napoleon
iii. special constable in London. Garibaldi
was tallow chandler on Staten Island; con.
sdered it proper to trudge up Broadway with q
pair of chickens in his hand, and If the circum.
stance were mentioned to him now, would be
far from insultcd by the recollection. All
honor to the gallant Schoepff; but in this petty
abolition howl over a mistake respecting HE
antecedcnts, we are sure he will find covert
sneer and symptom Of enmity that will not by
any means crafty him.

OcR WAR TAxEs.-The various schemes oi
taxation before the Committee of Ways and
Means have as yet resulted in no well dgested
plan. The committee hesitate and lose time, no
doubt from the want of proper information as
to the sources from whence revenue may be de-
rived. This arises in part from the fact that
the science of taxation is in measure new to
us. but in a still greater degree from the indo-
lcnce ofits members, who might supply to some
extent, by reading, the experience they want.
comparison of our resources with those Of
other countries, as well as an examination of
their systems of taxation, would soon put them
upon the right track With view to Tighten
their labors, and hasten them to a conclusion,
we publish in another column a detailed state
ment of all the different sources from whence
revenue is raised by taxation in Great Britain
These resolve themselves under the following
heads:-Excse, stamps, land and assessed
taxes, property tax and post office. The total
amount yielded by these for the year ending De-
cember 81, 1860, was GAG ,sO2 ,074 2s. Id, or
about 234,OOOOOO.
Now if England in a time of peace, is able to
raise by taxation such large annual amount
as this, what is to prevent u.s. in war times,
raising by the same means 50000,00O? It
is not as If we were imposing permanent bur-
den upon the country Of that amount. Once
the war is ended, with the abundant resources
that we possess, and the rapid increase of our
foreign trade, we shall soon be in a condition to
wipe out the debts that it will have entail
ed upon u.s. All that is wanted now is speedy
action on the part of Congress. Let the CON-
mittee entrusted with the reconstruction of the
national finances take care that the brilliant Sc
ries of operations on which our armies are en-.
tering shall not be delayed or hampered by its
hesitation.
