CONGREsSIONAL.
xxxv1IIrn coNaKSss.-RIRsT SESSION
THURSDAY. April

THURSDAY. April 2s.
SENATR.-Mr. Ten Eyckcall up the bill to
clal districts Of Fast and West Virginia, &C.,
and it was passed. s-y IN. "a
Mr. Fessenden, from the Committee on FL
nance, reported, with amendments, the House
Joint resolution to, increase for sixty days the
present duties on foreign imports 50 per cent,
exempting therefrom printing paper. THE
amendments reduce the increase to 81 Del
cent, and exempt goods on bond from the in
crease. 81 - +.
Mr. f. said that the Committee, in CONVERSE
hon, thought the So per eentum increase was
by reducing tie increase to 33k per centum
The Committee were OF opinion that when the
new tariff bill is passed, 1t will net, on an
average, put up the duties higher than g !, per
cent, and therefore it would be impolific to
make this temporary rate higher than that He
thought it better to put the rates a little below
new tariff. To put them up so per cent and
then put them down again on many articles in
short time again, would effect trade very ir-
regularly.
Mr.. sherman said he had disagreed with the
committee in their recommendations. The
proposed increase Of 50 per centum was not on
the value OF the goods, but on the existing du-
TIES. Therefore the House rate would be but
Is per cent. additional really and the rate of
33 proposed by the committee but 1Oper cent.
additional. =. ..--- y -tt
HOUeR.-The House resolved itself into
Committee of the Whole on the state of the
Union, MI. Washburne in the CHAIR and re.
sumed the consideration Of the Internal Tax
Bill.
Mr.. kasson, OF Iowa, offered a substitute for
the 151st section, which was agreed to, provid-
ing it shall not be lawful to record any instru.
ment document or paper, unless the proper
stamp shall be affixed. and the record on which
the proper stamp Is not fixed shall be utterly
void and shall not be used as evidence.
The section stricken out proposed a penalty
of $50 for the failure to affix stamp. - q :
Mr. Farnsworth offered an amendment pro.
hibiting any person or banking association to
issue any notes for circulation unless author
lied by act Of Congress; otherwise they shall
withdraw their circulation in six months, and
the said banks shall pay a tax of ne-fourth of
one per cent. each month on the note so issued
This amendment gave rise to debate. On the
one hand it was commended that it would sup
press the State banks, and on the other it was
maintained that taxation should fall equally
on ALL
On motion Of Mr.. Holman the words sunless
authorized by act of Congress"
Mr.. Fenton appealed to the gentleman to
withdraw his amendment, as it was calculated
to delay action on the tax bill.
MI. Farnsworth could not withdraw it. Why
should not banks be taxed, while they taxed
every thing else. r. - .,..
This amendment was adopted. r.. 800 ..

Gaweckie states that on the 18th of last
month the rebel authorities issnsd an order
prohibiting all citizens from riding on the rail-
roads from various points in the South leading
to Richmond, in order to facilitate the move
ments of troops, which are being hurried up
to Richmond in large numbers.
aGaweckie and bis wife, by brlbinE the con-
ductors on the road, were hid away in the cars,
and by this means succeeded in reaching
Richmond, where they arrived on Wednesday,
yesterday week. and on the same day pros
cured pass from Gen. Winder to come North.
On the next day, Thursday parties who ap-
piled to Gen. Winder for passes were informed
by that Official that he was instructed by the
War Department to Issue no more passes for
Confederacy. 10 81 II R-EfNatJ
At the time Gaweekie left Augusta, Ga,
which was some two weeks ago. there were
no troops stationed at that point. Those that
had been quartered there were Withdrawn
few days previous and sent to Richmond.
When Gaweckie was at Richmond he saw
large bodies Of troops on their way to reinfors e
Lee, and the arrival Of every train at that
place increased their numbers. ,s.... IN .. =,
SUPPOSED SINKING G. oE A REBEL TORPEDO
Com. S. C. Rowan, of the S. A. 3. Squadron,
has forwarded to the Navy department COM
munlcation from Capt. ]. De Camp, written
on board the U. S. steamer Wabash, off Charles
ton, S. g., under date OF April 10, in which that
officer relates the supposed sinking Of the re-
bel torpedo boat which sunk the Housatonic.
It appears that on the night of the 18th the
deck officer OF the Wabash discovered a dark
object about $50 yards distant from that vessel,
which coIresponded in shape ana movements
to the torpedo boat. It moved rapidly up
against the tide, till about the main mast, and
then turned and stood directly for the the ship
The men Of the Wabash quickly rushed to
their quarters upon the beat OF the gong, and
when the supposed torpedo boat was about
SO ards distant, round shot were fired at her
from each OF the spar deck guns. A round
shot is supposed to have struck and sunk her
as she was seen no more after the first fire. and
the second volley struck in the Immediate vi
entity Of the first. -'@ '..a.-.T. .H
