YORKTOWN, VA, Jan 20.-LSsL week two
dvserters who Cumu into our lines reported that
Gen. Wise, with 600 men, was within six miles
of Williamsburg, aud advancing on Yorktown,
to take revenge for the late raid made by the
Sixth New York cavalry TO the White House.
Every one WIS In excellent spirits immediate.
ly on receipt Of the news, and all seemed anxi-
GUS for the attack to take place. The guns
were prepared, and everything made ready for
action; but the brave soldiers that were 50 anN-
iously waiting tho opportunity to distinguish
themselves, were doomed TO disappointment,
for Gen. Wise, fearing to approach any nearer
In tue range Of Major General .Kcys's guns,
retired, no doubt perfectly satisfied in his de-
sire for vengeance by declaring that lac will
hang every officer that accompanied the late
expedition. But, as the gallant Major who
was In command, says they have got TO be
taken before they can be hung. There are a
number Of large and uuservlceable guns In tho
fort that are being shipped to Fortress Monroe,
where they will be used for old Iron.

SOLID SHOT ALSO DRIVEN CLEAN
THROUGH.

On Tuesday, another trial with projcctllc and
shell was made at the "tcst battery" near the
navy yard. Tho object Of this experiment was
to perforate a target representing, In every re-
spect, complete section Of the British war
vessel "Warrior tho lron-plating, wooden
packing, thickness OF the timber, boiling, &c.
Targets representing the "Warror" have fro-
quently been perforated with solid shot fred
from tho Dahlgrou gun, but the experiment Of
Tuesday was with q dieV!--Mr. Stafford, the
inventor, believing that, with the Dahlgrcn
gun, he could drive shell through the iron
plating Of the target before il cyplo&ed, and per
haps entirely through, which would make the
projcctllc still more destructive when directed
against ship.
The target was placed in vertical position
against the bank dug out Of the hillside for
the purpose, and the shell was fired at short
range FROM q Une-hundred-and-ifty pound
rihcd Dahlgron gun, with fifteen pounds OF
powder. The she'll passed entirely Through the
iron, petctrdted 70 qJom midirGy Of he rood, and
exploded! tearing the target as much as the
small quantity of powder was capable of doing.
Inc experiment was considered by those who
witnessed it, Quot connected officially with lL)
a complete success. If the official report is
equally favorable, Mr.. Stafford can hatter him.
self that he has demonstrated the practicablllty
Of firing shell properly constructed, into reSSel,
through as much iron as any war vessel can
float with. Another of Mr.. stafFord's prolcc-
tilCs-solid shot-was fired from the same gun
at the same target, and the shot passed entirely
hroWyh The target, iron and wood, and shattered
the wooden portion Of 1t into pieces, and pcnr-
tratcd the earth beyond some five feet! When
We remember that the above results were pro-
duccd with a much less charge of powder than
is used in any but the Dalhgren gun, We may
look for still greater results. Wonder what l..
L. D. (not Earl) Russell will have to say about
this last triumph Of American guns, shells and
rrojcctlCS against his British Warrior I"

The Commissioner Of Internal Revenue has
decided as follows!
The second provision Of the SSth section de.
Clares that the receipts TO the amount of s1 ,00C
for advertisements, shall be exempt from duty.
By the same section the returns of newspapers
arc to be made quarterly. 1t does not appear
from the provislons. or from any language else
where found in said section, whether tho OK.
cmption Of the receipts to the amount of 81 200
is on exemption from the receipts Of an entire
year, or from the receipts Of each quarter, as
the returns are made.
But, after considering the section in conncc.
ton with the general provisions and policy OF
the excise law, and especially with reference to
section 81, which provides that the annual in.
conc received from Advertisements on which
the tax contemplated In section SS shall have
been paid, Is exempt from the income tax, | am
of opinion that tho sum Of 81 900 Of the annual
receipts for advertisements, by any person OF
persons, Is exempt from the three per cent.
duty.
think, however, that the tax can be laid
only upon the excess over 81 900, and only after
the sum Of 81 900 shall have been received by
the owner or owners Of any newspaper or other
publication specified in said section.
