Tie Paris correspondent of the hide
pendemce Beige describes the manner in
which the news was received by the EN-

down to dinner when he received the dispatch

the evening the house was spontaneously Ulu-
minated and guns fired in honor of the event.

HARRISBURG, June 3O.-The following
is the address from Gen. Early to the citi-
Zens of York:
YORK, Pa, June 80, 1868.
To the Citizens Of York:
l have abstained from burning the railroad
buildings and car-shops in your town, because,
after examination. l am satisfied that the safety
Of the town would be endangered, and acting
in the spirit of humanity which has ever char
acterized my government and its military au-
thorities, do not desire to involve the innocent
in the same punishment with the guilty. Had
[ applied the torch without regard to the con-
sequences, would then have pursued course
that would have been fully vindicated as an act
justice in retaliation for the authorized acts Of
barbarity perpetrated by your own army on our
soil, but we do not war upon women and chill
dren, and trust the treatment you have met
with at the hands of my soldiers will open your
eyes to the odious tyranny under which, it is
apparent to all, you are yourselves living.
(Signed) J. A. EARLY,
Maj. Gen. Confederate States Army.

FLAG SHIP WABASH,
PORT ROYAL HARBoR, June 16, 1868.
SIR have the honor to report to the De-
partment that on the night of the fifth instant
a steamer attempted to run out of Charleston.
She was turned back by the Wissahickon,
which vessel pursued her over the bar, firing
at her repeatedly. The steamer was sunk.
From subsequent information from two de-
serters from Charleston, whom send north by
the Massachusetts, there is reason to believe
the vessel was the Isaac Smith.
On the night of the 18th inst, another
steamer attempted to run the blockade at
Charleston, by the Sanford channel. She was
fired at by several of the vessels, but in the
darkness eluded them.
On the next morning at daylight she was dis
covered at the north end of Folly Island on
fire, which, however, did not destroy the YES
sci. She was large sized side-wheel steamer,
and is supposed by Commodore Turner to be
the Havelock, but this is not certainly ascer-
tanned

The Income Returns Secret.

A circular issued by Commissioner
Lewis directs Assessors and Collectors to
exercise such a control of the lists as to
prevent the qualification of mere idle curl

also advises as follows:
You will please to observe that the returns
which have been, or shall be made by taxpay-
ers to officers assessing income tax are not to
be communicated to others than those whose
business it is to collect the tax, except in the
performance of official duty; and all officers of
internal revenue are instructed that inquiries as
to the purport of, or amount of such returns,
by persons not interested in them pecuniarily,
or in some tiduciary capacity, are not to be
answered. Considerations relating to mercan-
tile credit, and to the feelings of individuals as
to the exposure of the state of their fortune or
business, render careful observance of these
instructions particularly proper, and it is there

TheTDlOfueIeT,


The meeting at the Old South church last
evening was one of marked interest. For
more than two hours, despite the great heat,
the Rev. DIR. Massie held the undivided atten-
ton of every nearer willie he spoke of the
friends and enemies of the American cause in
England as one thoroughly Informed in all that
relates thereto. His statements in regard to
the London Times, were perhaps new to many
of his hearers; but his charges that it was the
enemy of the abolition of slavery in tie West
Indies, that it was the advocate Of the Corn
Laws until the league had won its great vic
tory over them, and that it has always shown
the most mercenary spirit on all the great is.
cues Of our generation, were easily substan-
tiated. The evidence he presented of deep
and powerful religious sentiment in England
warmly interested in our success, was most
gratifying to every lover of liberty present,
and will do much to awaken grateful feelings
toward these true men. The Doctor came as
the representative of more than four thousand
British and seven hundred French ministers,
whose addresses he has brought to us. He
also declared his purpose to be two fold.
First, to beseecls Americans to be true to
the principles of universal liberty in all the
trials before them, never forgetting those in
bonds and secondly, to do what they can to pre-
serve friendly relations between the two great
nations which have so much in common, and
who, unitedly, are to mould the future of so
many nations. He spoke with great plain
ness as compared with the manner Of our own
countrymen. At the close the Rev. Mr.. Rich
ardson was chosen chairman of the meeting,
when Rev. NJ: Walker offered the reply of the
New York city clergymen for adoption, which,
after remarks by Rev. r. A. Miller and Dea.
Harris, was carried unanimously by rising

HE REGULATORY ORDER.-The least the
president could do to protect his colored SOL
diers from the cruelty of their captors, he has
done in his general Order providing for retail
latlon upon rebel prisoners. The laws and
usages of war are harsh and bloody enough
at the best But there is barbarous and an
enlightened way of executing them. Expert
ence has shown that there is no other way to
teach the rebels even decent regard for civ
ilzatlon, but by making them feel something
of the hardship they practice upon their VIC
tins. The rebel captain Macbeth, who was
captured at Morris Island, remarked to one
of our officers, that it was as much as mans
lite was worth in the rebel army to neglect an
opportunity to hang an officer of negro reg
iment. at will be as much as your life is
worth if they hang single one," was
the pertinent reply. But it is not only
the officers, but the privates, who should
be protected. The infinite meanness of
rebel chivalry exposes the latter to peculiar
danger, and entities them to the especial care
OF the government they have so promptly has
tened to serve. For every colored soldier
who is sold into slavery a rebel soldier ought
to drag his bail and chain upon our public
works till justice and common humanity get
their due. Though the order came too late to
save many poor fellow from death or worse
fate at the hands of his traditional enemies,
let us be thankful it has come in season to
save others from sharing their calamity.
