Moone, and her daughter, from Hamilton
Ohio, and relatives of Judge Clarke, leadt
ing cOpperhead of Butler county, of the mos
malignant persuasion, were arrested in Gin
cinnati on the Sd, on board steamer bound
for Memphis, under suspicion that they were
conveying contraband goods to the rebels.
They denied the charge, but the officer said
they must disgorge. The young Moone had
concealed upon her person from twenty-five
to fifty letters, addressed to sundry colonies,
captains, majors, &C., in the rebel army: and
in a huge hustle, or sack, fastened to her per-
son, she had forty bottles of morphine, seven
pounds of opium and quantity OF camphor,
all OF which was taken possession of by Mr..
Rose, in the name of ''Uncle Sam" After
the young lady was caught she got on the
rampage, and shouted for JEFF. Davis in the

FooTREss MONROE, April 9.-The flag of
truce boat Robert Morris, in charge of Capt.
Bsbee is the 9th Vermont, left this morning
for City Point, with about 500 rebel prisoners
also the Nelly Pentz, with nearly the same
number. The 9th Vt. regiment have arrived
here and are in camp.
DIR. Huntington, assistant surgeon U. S. A.,
and for some time past in chBrge of the post
hospital here, has been ordered to report to
Gen. Rosecrans.
An expedition left Yorktown last Tuesday,
for Mobjack bay, and ran up Ware river,
where they remained that day, and took two
contrabands, and next day proceeded up
North river where they found two planters,
who took the oath. About thirty secesh cav
airy made their appearance from the woods,
but on seeing the new gunboat which accom-
panied the expedition, they ran away in hot
haste. The expedition here captured twelve
contrabands and four very fine horses, and
returned to Yorktown yesterday afternoon,
having seen no considerable bodies of rebel
troops.
General Dix being absent from this depart
ment, Gen. Reyes visited this place to-day and
returned to Yorktown at late hour this af-
ternoOn.

STRANGE BUT TRUE War, disease, and famine
are considered the most powerful emissaries of
death. There are others, more destructive than the
three united. We allude TO the deadly poisons sold
as rum, gin, brandy, whiskey, wine, &C. glance
at our criminal calendars, police reports, and medi
cal statistics proves this. In the state of Maine, the
headquarters of the temperance movement, there is
no restriction on the sale of Speers Sambucci
Winea flattering testimonial of its worth and pu-
rity. In our opinion, its sale should be encouraged
in every section of the country not merely for its
Notwithstanding properties but for its rare and val
liable medicinal virtues, approved by eminent MEM
bers of the faculty in Europe aud America. The
Sambucus tree of Portugal is cultivated in this
country for the preparation of wine unexcelled by
the vintages of the choicest Port, to which it
strongly assimilates in its mellow juciness, richness
of flavor, and brancy of color. The fruit has
been brought to perfection never attained in Por-
tugal by Mr.. A Speer, in his vineyard New Jersey.

The News from Gen. Foster.
BY TEILESi sAPu
TO THE WORCESTER DAG.Y SPY

PnILADELpHIA, April l0.-Hhe Bulletin of
this city learns from passenger, just arrived
in the steamer Emelic, the following facts in
reference to Gen. Fosters position at Little
Washington, N. C.:-One vessel had reached
Gen. Foster since the rebels had surrounded
his camp. Two of our gunboats, the Hunch.
back and the Smithfeld, had for some days
been stationed just below the rebel batteries,
and had kept the rebels busy in replying to
their shots.
As the Emelie left Newbern, two Union
gunboats arrived and were about steamng up
to the relief of Gen. Foster. Land reinforce
ments were also on their way to relieve Gen
Foster, but none had reached Little Washing
ton at last advices. 1t was the opinion of my
informant that Gen. Foster could hold out
some seven or eight days from the date of the
sailing of the Emelie, as communication by
means of small boats had been had with him
during the siege The situation of Gen. Eos
ter was, however, critical, and everything de-
pended on succor reaching him quickly, as
the rebel force was very heavy.

From Washington


WASHINGTON, April l0.-Eyery package
going hence to the army of the Potomac, is
now subject to rigid inspection by an officer
appointed Tor the purpose. This is in pursu-
ance of recent order from Gen. Hookerto pre-
venl abuses heretofore practiced by the army
purveyors who have made use of government
transportation for private speculation under
the cover of orders from general officers.
Henry Baker has been appointed special
agent of the post Office department for Cali
forna and Oregon, vice Charles Watrous re-
moved. Commissions have been prepared
for Robert B. Swain, superintendent OF the
mint, and Samuel J. Bridge and II. NJ. Miller
appraisers at San Francisco. The commiss-
ion for Mr.. Low as collector of the port has
not yet been issued.
1t has been ascertained from an official
source that no permission has been authorized
to obtain recruits in Ireland, as alleged by the
Liverpool Albion.
Count CastigliOni, who holds a high position
under Victor Emanuers government, is now
visiting Washington. He has been the recip-
lent of distinguished attentions.
TAX LAW MATTERS.
The commissioner of internal revenue has
decided that the making of fire brick is strict
y manufacture under the excise law and
advalorem, and be required to render monthly
returns. Companies authorized by charter to
build railroads or canals uponwhch passengers
and freight, other than that of the company
are to be transported, being indebted for any
sum or sums of money for which bonds or
other evidences of Indebtedness have been or
shall be issued payable in one or more years
after date, are required to withhold three per
centum from all payments on accounts of
coupons or interest, upon such Indebtedness
as was incurred on account of such railroad
or canal, and to make quarterly returns and
payment thereof to the commissioner of in
ternal revenue.
The following new varieties of internal rev.
enue stamps have been prepared and orders
for them can be filled Immediately: Foreign
exchange 1870, 100, and 100; inland ex-
change $50 and $50; mortgage $25. No
new stamps of small denominations have been
issued for promissory notes since the change

In all cases of wilful neglect to use stamps,
proceedings will be commenced by the col
lector for the recovery of the penalties pro-
vided in the excise law.

Collected in collectors hands. l.3l3 Is
Unsolicited taxes...........1.76S 55-S362,0 OLA %
More than two thirds of the amount etdown
as uncollectcd is for licences that were applied
for under misrepresentation of the law and will
revenue. 1t will be seen by these statements
that the tax payers of this district have re-
sponded promptly to the demands of the gov
eminent. 1t is believed that no other district
in the country has paid so readily; and this is
due partly to the patriotic spirit of the people,
and partly to the good judgment and fidelity
with which the work of assessing and collect
ing the tax has been done. The duties of
these revenue officers are delicate and COM
plicated; but Col. Phillips and Mr.. Thayer,
with their well chosen assistants, have dis
charged these duties with most commendable
skill and success.
The statements here given do not include
the income tax which will not be assessed I'M
til May; and of course they do not in
clude the taxes collected on the divi-
dends, &C., paid to holders of stocks and
bonds. The tax on dividends on bank. rail-
road. and other stocks, and on the interest on
the bonds of corporations and municipalities
held in this district, must amount to large
sum. But this is collected and paid to the
government by the corporations, and does moi
appear on either the lists of the assessor Oh
the books of the collector. And so it is with
the revenue from the sale of stamps. Boil
these items must be added to the amoun
assessed and collected in order to show the
whole amount of internal reuenue paid in tn,
district.
The law has, very likely, been evaded in
few small matters, but in no case, it is be
levcd, where the evasion has resulted in an,
considerable loss TO the government. In col
lecting the very large amount stated above
has been found necessary to bring but one sui
against any person for arefusal to comply wit
the provisions of the law, and this was agains
prominent manufacturer of shoddy, who re
fused to make returns, and who was sued i
the district court and made to pay fine of tiv
| hundred dollars and costs of suit-a sufiicier
warning, it is supposed to all others in the dis
| trict. With this exception no trouble has bee
experienced. The taxes have been paid wit
the utmost alacrity and cheerfulness; and a
earnestdesire has been manifested throughou
the district to sustain the government in ever
possible way, in its hour of peril.

the following summary of the assessments for
the six months ending with that date:-
