saers it cause for congralulation that
the election Of ardent friends of Liberty

The Proclamation subjoined to the
Presidents Message was writssa ssbstan-
italy ia the form 10 which it Was issued,
and the President ct one time seriously
thought Of issuing i before the meeting
Of Congress. Since its appearance, the
question has been raised in official quar-
tiers q to whether the rebel prisoners in
our hands under the rank of Colonel may
not avail themselves of the amnesty Of
fered. We think three-fourths of the
rebels now in our hands would gladly
accept the terms Of the amnesty.if it in
cludes them. and the question thus be-
comes of much importance.
There is, 90 far a. can be learned, q
general disposition on the part of men,
bers of Congress TO carry out the recon-
mendations Of the Commissioner Of Inter
nal Revenue and the Secretary Of the
Treasury with respect to an increase OF
taxes on liquors and tobacco. It is
thought probable Congress will impose a
heavier tax on whisky as proposed, per-
haps IS cents or dollar per gallon.
The avails Of the draft, as far IS learn
ed up to this time, are sixty Thousand
men aid twelve million dollars. The fig
ures given in the Secretary Of Wars re-
port are based upon dates two or three
weeks old.
