The vote on tho tax bill, on It's final passage,

ton. But thirteen gentlemen vsntared 10 vote
sgainst II, Of whom Messrs. Vallendinghsm

Mr.. stevvsu,, ot the Ways and Means Com.
mittse, made very interesting Bflecn-minutes
speech in the House yesterday, on the tax BIZ.
He calculates that, II the war is ptosecuted
enersstioally, our arrty can be reduced 10 one
hundred thousand men BY The end Of Ito sum
met, And that the rese.aes OF the country will
be large enoagh to pay the interest on the pub
lie debt and establish largo sinking find. If
the Government should conclude TO lay the bur
den Of tho war upon the men who are now In
the rebellion against II. by confiscation act,
he was sure that no more taxes would have TO
be laid upon the loyal people Of the free States.
We hear, on good authority, that Hon. Vim.
II. Polk, who Is in Washington, speaks strongly
iu favor of q cousscasion act. This kind Of
Legislation. he says, will make the rebel plant.

be no doubt that sweeping. .cont,cadon act

greatly needed in Tennessee and other slave
States It is the general opiuion about the
Capitol, that some bill on this subject Will pas
the Congress within n Few weeks.
