FOREIGN NEWS.

SANDY Hook, April y.
The Persia, from Liverpool the IIth and
Queenstown the 18th, has arrived with
two days later news.
England, France and Austria have sent
q simultaneous dispatch to Russia concern
ing Poland. The dispatch is friendly, but
conveys an ineligible warning. Russia
is making active military preparations.
The Post says the American blockade is
the only efficient mode North now Of car
rying on the war. Maritime powers may
have to consider how long such a war
shall continue
There was considerable activity in the
Confederate loan at 1@2! premium, and
at similar figures in Paris.
The Shipping Gazette points to the ex-
pedieney Of conveys for British vessels in
the West Indies, and learns that it is the
intention Of France to protect her shipping
in the same manner.
The Polish rebellion apparently gains
strength.

FROM BANKS DEPARTMENT.

NEW 1oRk, april ".
Heralds letter from New Orleans to the
18th;
News to-day from Brasheas City is Of
the utmost importance. The enemy evac-
uated the works ct Centerville last night,
but will probably be captured entire, as he
is enclosed between Growers forces on oae
side and those Of Emery and Weitzel on
the other. He is leaving his guns and am
munition behind him.
The steamer Diana, lately taken from us,
will certainly be rscaptursd, as the U. S.
steamer Clifton has removed distractions
in the river, and rapidly approaching her.
The ram Queen Of the West was captured
from tie enemy in Grand Lake at ten
O'Clock this morning, Captain Fuller, Com
mander, and all his crew and officers, num-
bering ninety souls, are now prisoners at
Berwick Bay.
The capture Of the Queen of the West is
most important. consider the whole af-
fair as a victory of immense advantage to
the Union cause.

Ineoms Tax the sourh.


Let those who growl at the taxes of the
North read the following from the Rich
mond Examiner, and congratulate them
selves:
The substitute proposed by the Finance
Committee Of the Senate for the tax bill
recently passed by the House Of Repre-
Rentatives, provides that the tax on annual
incomes between $500 and ST, 500 shall be
Eve per cent; between 81, 500 and $4,000
ten per cent; between $4,000 and $3.50
twelve and half per cent. over $4,000
fifteen per cent.
F" Income derived from rents Of real es-
tate, manufacturing and mining establish
ments, &C., shall be taxed = per cent,
after dedueting sum sufficient for neces-
sary annual repairs.
3Incomes from any manufacturing or
mining business shall be taxed as afore-
ssid, after deductiDg from present value
of products of the year, the rent, Of rent
ed, cost Of labor actually hired, and raw
material.
From navigating enterprises, after de-
Quoting hire Of vessels, or allowance for
wear and tear Of same, not TO exceed ten
per cent.
HFrom sale of merchandise or other
property, real or personal, after deduoting
the prime cost, salaries paid, Sc.
Frem any other occupation, after de-
ducting the prime cost Of material, COM
pensation, SC. Incomes from all other
Sources shall be taxed without any deduc-
ton.
GAN Joint stock companies and corpora
-.-l, 9 h. y Gs
and reserved fund Of each year. If the
annual earnings shall give profit of more
than ten per cent, and less than twenty
on capital stock, one-eighth to be paid; if
more than twenty per cent, one-sixth.
Each farmer, after reserving for his
own use one hundred bushels of corn and
thirty bushels Of wheat produced this year,
shall pay and deliver to the Confederate
Government one-tenth Of the grain, forage,
sugar, cotton, tobacco, or wool produced.
After reserving twenty bushels peas and
beans he shall deliver one-tenth Of the
product thereof
ss Also, one.tenth Of the hogs slaughtered
by him, in oured bacon, at the rate of sew
enty pounds bacon to one hundred pounds
pork, for which he shall receive the value
Of four bushels Of corn, and the principal
for the salt in curing the same, and one
tenth Of the money he may have paid for
the purchase Of the swine
@On the value Of all neat cattle, horses,
mules and asses, one per cent.
HThese are the most important features
Of the Senate bill not contained in the
House bill. Several provisions Of the lat
ter, including the double tax on aliens, the
discriminating tax on sales, the specific
tax on advertisements, &C., are omitted in
the Senate bill Also, the enumeration Of
property exempt from taxation, except
Confederate bonds, and certain property
used for religious, charitable or education
al purposes"

How the Rebels rreat the Old WhIgs.

How the Rebels treat the Old Whigs.
The following we quote from the Nash
Vile Union:
ait is reported, on good authority, that
a distinguished Wing politician Of this
State, who succumbed to the pressure Of
the rebellion at a late hour, has within the
past few days written letter to one of his
friends in this city. The report adds that
the distinguished exile says in the letter
that the whole rebellion is under the con-
troll Of Southern Democratic leaders, who
on all occasions manifest a disposition to
ostracise and Danish from both civil and
military positions in the COnfedCracy, es-
pecially the former, of trust and profit, all
who were their political opponents in for
mer days. He says that the Whig and
American leaders, especially such as were,
prior to the rebellion, known as Union
men, are ignored in all Confederate delib-
erations, while everything is done accord
ing to the views Of the simon pure South
ern Democracy-a faction noted, of late
years, for its intolerant spirit lie says
that they use their old opponents only as
tools to forward the rebellion, for their
own aggrandizement.
"This evidence, which, if genuine-and
we do not doubt it-comes from q source
whose truth cannot be gainsaid, forms
another addition to the towering columns
of proof already before the country, that
this rebellion, ostensibly commenced for
the defense Of Southern Rights is in
reality the devilish work of defeated
faction, which is seeking to wade through
slaughter to a throne, even though it
should shut the gates Of mercy on man
kind in its mad career. And will old
Wings and Americans grovel in the dust
and tamely kiss the feet of their old enc
mics, who reward them only with cuffs,
kicks, and insults Is the lofty soul of
the old Wings so fallen as that? Did they
learn such spiriHess submission from Web
ster and Clay It is base enough to be
a traitor, but baser far to be The covering,
craven, despised and insulted menial and
henchman of traitor, the performer of
his drudgery, and the receiver Of his in
suits. Shame on such conduct. It is be-
meath the dignity of a Hottentot"
Cleveland morning leader. [volume] (Cleveland [Ohio]) 1854-1865, 1863-04-23

An order has been issued from the head
quarters Of the Army of the Potomac, re-
garding the regiments whose term of ser
vice is about to expire. It provides that
where companies and regiments re-enlist
the regiment and company officers will be
retained. The regiment will have
furlOugh and viii be allowed to pro-
ceed at the public expense, with
their arms and equipments, to the
place of their enrolment the date Of
the furlough to be two years or nine
months as the case may be, from the date
Of the original muster into the service.
When the regiment as a body, declines
to re-enlist, the officers and men will be
mustered out, and furnished transporta-
tion to the place Of enrolment.
In cases where less than half the men
re-enlist, the proportion of officers to be
retained viii be determined by the corps
commanders.
That portion of the bounty provided in
the order Of April ID fOrre-enlistment will
be paid at the first payment after the re-
turn Of The men from furlOugh.

The United States Tax Collector Of Flor
ida and South Carolina, has reported to
Government the complete success Of the
plan Of arming and organizing the slaves
Of the South. According 10 Washington
dispatch, he says that the late expedition
which took and held Jacksonville, Florida,
was composed entirely Of black troops
They held the pest two weeks, were en-
gagged almost every day with superior
numbers Of the rebels, and in every in
stance drove them. Afterward, these black
troops were reinforced by white regi-
ment-the Sixth Connecticut Volunteers
BY no means favorable 10 negro soldiers.
In an engagement with the rebel cavalry
and artillery, the Sixth Connecticut sup
ported The First and Second South Caro-
Inns (colOred-) After a severe engagement,
in which the blacks we're victorious, this
white regiment declared it had no further
Prejudioes against negroes who showed
such pluck.
While our troops occupied Jacksonville,
the rebel camp was eight miles distant.
The commander Of the United States
forces, before making an attack, wished to
destroy railroad bridge three miles in
the rear Of the enemy. A negro vOlun-
teered to perform this terrible feat TAX
ing three days rations in his knapsack, a
bottle Of turpentine, a box of matches, and
pair Of Colts revolvers, he disappeared
at night The third day after he returned,
having burned the bridge and recOnnoit-
cred the enemy's camp, 50 as to furnish
much valuable information.
A former expedition up St. Mary's River,
by five companies of the first regiment of
South Carolina Volunteers, furnished
equally conclusive evidence of the bravery
of the negro troops. Marching at night
through a thick wood, they were attacked
by rebel cavalry. At the first discharge
one man was killed and four wounded
but instead o a panic, the blacks promptly
returned the fire, emptying twelve rebel
saddles at the first discharge. The uni
form testimony of all the officers is that
the cOlOred troops, when brought under
fire, need check more than spur.
