UN1oNIsM IN TENEEssEE.-There is a Union

members, all of whom are citizens and voters
in that city. On the 21st these good and true

Rebel Isald Towards pennsvlrnnla

New York, April ga Pittsburg tele-
gram of the 2Sth says the latest intelligence
from the scene of the raid reports the rebel
force at Morgantown as only 500 strong, and
it is supposed to be the same party of guerril-
las who have been endeavoring to damage the
Baltimore and Ohio railroad. The excite
ment is abatng. Telegraphic communication
is perfect between Wheeling and Grafton.
Reports state that deputation from Union
town, Pa, arrived at PittSburg to get men
and arms to resist the expected raid. the
10Th militia regiment assembled, and it was
supposed 1t would be sent to Uniontown.
1here is another report, that the rebels have
entered Washington, Pa, 20 miles from
Wheeling. 1t was discredited.

The ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS from the va

THE SITUATION Everything from the va
rious points of interest with the present con-
f1ict with the rebellion is encouraging. With
the exception of the army of the Potomac,
which is supposed now to be advancing, and
the army and navy near Charleston, which are
about to renew the attack, we hear of con-
tinued and encouraging success to our arms.
Gen. Banks in the south is making gigantic
strides toward a complete isolation Of the
rebels on the Mississippi; in Tennessee and
the southwest generally, our forces are crowd
in the enemy back; the raid upon the Balti-
more and Ohio railroad mas proved futile;
and, more encouraging than all, we hear of
growing dissatisfaction in the rebel ranks; of
restitution, bread riots, and dependency.
In fact our prospects have not for many
months been so bright as at the present time.

port, via New Orleans. that paymaster, with
100000 for our troops, was aboard the steam
er Fox captured by the rebels.
The Post thinks the news received that
Gen. Banks had taken possession of large
amount of rebel property, indicated that part
of our forces had reached Alexandria, La,
where the rebels had large quantity of stores
and boats. 1t is not improbable, it says, that
all this rebel property has been captured.

TAXES IN REBELDoM.-Ataxbi bill has passed
both branches of the rebel congress, peculiar
in its features, and in many particulars so
much more stringent than that imposed by the
United States government as to be worthy OF
remark. remarkable exemption of income
tax is made in favor of officers in the rebel
army and navy; all other persons are taxed
from five to twelve and half per cent, ac-
cording to the amount of income. Joint stock
companies pay one tenth of their annual divi-
dends and reserved funds. tax of ten per
cent is laid on all profits made in the purchase
and sale of articles necessary for the use of
the army during the year 1862. Each farmer
must give to the government one tenth of the
hogs slaughtered by him the coming year, in
the shape of cured bacon, at the rate of
sixty pounds of bacon to one hundred
pounds of pork. Each farmer, after reserv-
ing for his own use fifty bushels sweet and
fifty bushels Irish potatoes, one hundred BUSH
els corn or fifty bushels wheat produced this
year, shall pay and deliver to the confederate
government one-tenth of the grain, potatoes,
forage, sugar, molasses, cotton, wool and to-
bacco produced. Bankers, first class hotel
keepers, and theatres pay $500 per year, the
latter giving also five per cent. on all receipts,
profits, ranging from 2 l-2 to 20 per cent.
Butchers, bakers, livery stable keepers, law
yers, etc., pay $50 per year. Circusses pay
500, with $40 for each exhibition. ''Jug-
glers and other persons exhibiting shows"
pay $50, etc., etc. The Richmond Wing
says OF the bill:
''The bill, of which the foregoing is sum-
mary, now only awaits the signature of the
President to become law. In the present
condition Of affairs, and at this late stage of
the session, it is presumable that he will waive
objections, if he may have any, and sign it {;
and yet the bill, which we had not seen till
yesterday, is extremely faulty in principle,
and still more so in its details. Did we be-
lieve it practicable at this time to cure its inc
qualities and defects, we should invoke the
Executive veto, but satisfied that this cannot
be done, we call upon the people to ACCEPT
and abide the law as it is, and to repress all
agitation, discomfort or murmuring."
