SPANISH OUTRAGE on OuR CoxSEHcT-A few
months since one OF our cruisers-the Mont
gomery-chased blockade runner to the coast
Of Havana. In making for the nearest port, the
latter ran aground. Captain Hunter, out OF
motives OF humanity, launched boat and sent
some OF bis men TO assist her. He bad no in
tention Of molesting the crew or taking the
vessel, as he wac fully aware that she was
In Spanish waters. AS soon az the block
.ads runners saw the boat approaching them
they set fire to their vessel and escaped to the
shore. The Spanish government made indig-
nant reclamations on the subject, and insisted
on the dismissal Of Captain Hunter. Notwith-
standing IL was clearly proved by the evidence
or his officers that good feeling alone had
prompted his action, our government thought
IL necessary TO remove him from his command,
and actually dismissed him from tho navy
We have now the news Of an outrage OF very

TIE New TARIFF AND TAX BrLLs-The Tariff
bill and the Tax bill now before Congress, and
soon to be In operation, will, it is calculated,
bring an annual revenue Of three hundred and
nfty millions to the Treasury, and thus enable
IA TO meet the heavy indebtedness created by
The war. The adoption of these measures has
developed new domestic policy in the gov
eminent, and will operate in developing also
10 vast extent all the resources in which the
country 90 lavishly abounds. The heavy duties
imposed BY the tariff on foreign articles, not
alone hxurics, but necessarles, even the car
pets upon the floor, will. stimulate the manu-
faoture Of home fabrics to an immense extent,
thus bringing out capital in labor and industry

Tn WHrsKEY TAx-ANorHER TRIUMPH OF
THE LoBBY.-In the Senate on Saturday the
clause in the Tax bill imposing duty upon
spirits on the hands Of dealers was again
stricken out No spirits of domestic produc-
ton and held for sale on the LIST day Of May,
1864, and upon which no tax has been paid,
shall be subject to q duty Of fifty cents
per gallon, and no spirits on hand for
sale, upon which there Is prior duty,
shall be subject to duty Of thirty cents per
gallon, as first contemplated in the bill. This
is a triumph for the lobby, as it is well known
that very potent effort has been made all
through the discussion on the bill by the dis
tillers and liquor dealers t. get the clause
stricken out It shows how powerful they are,
aud how profitable their business must be-
when they can afford to expend the money
necessary to lobby this thing through success
fully. Perhaps this transaction also is good
example Of the way in which the legislation Of
Congress Is controlled. The loss to the gov
eminent by striking out this clause is esti
mated at clear ten millions, probably the extra
tax on the whole consumption for one year;
for the distillers, confident OF their influence
with the lobby, have been manufacturing
night and day, and thus there is probably now
on hand q stock Of whiskey sufficient for a
twelvemonth's trade easv

spirited citizens. Nature has already stamped
this region in its most luxurious and captivat-
ing mould, and art will in due time impart to
II additional and equally graceful attractions.
1t Is further proposed that this splendid drive
shall be at least one hundred and fifty feet
wide; and to add still further to its attractive
ness, il Is suggested that the great central
avenue, the Bloomingdale or Kingsbrdge road,
running part OF the way parallel with the
Seventh avenue, shall be widened and its mar
gins planted with shade and ornamental trees
This grand project, when accomplished, will
give 10 our already unequalled Park degree
Of magnifcence In extent Of drives and beauty
Of scenery which will cause il 10 become o
still greater pride to our citizens than II even
now Is, and excite still greater degree Of
envy from Europeans, who are continually
Boosting Of their old and blasted oaks and
ancient parks, and affect contempt for our
great Park, and stlgmatize II as thing OF to-
day, destined TO perish with the sinking for
tunes Of our country. Let this addition to the
Park be carried out-and we believe II must
and will be, II the spirited and enterprising
residents Of the Heights and the other locali-
ties interested pursue the subject with their
accustomed vigor and resolutisn--and the me-
tropolis Of the New World will show to the
harping critics and envious and malsvolent
subjects Of European despotIsms that the Yam
KEGS, while raising the biggest armies, doing
the hardest fighting, and giving the most money
in princely donations, can at the SANE stime
create place Of public recreation, at immense
cost, which Is without peer In magnincence in
any part Of the world.

THE EXCHANGE QUEsTIoN.-WhenC Cana
dams cross the line which divides their coun-
try from the realms Of civilization, and have
their pockets full of specie, they are apt to
EXPRESS great contempt for the currency. One
of them remarked to Capt. c.:
So your money over here is not worth
much?n
"Why not ?" inquired the captain.
81 understand that it is only worth about
fifty cents to the dollar"
"You are greatly Mistaken" returned the
captain, sit is worth as much as it ever was"
"How is it, then, that ours is worth so much
more?'
"The fact is" said the captain, "that you
fellows have so little money, that out of sym
patty for you we concluded to let you pass it
for fifty cents on the dollar more than it is
worth. That's ALL"

POETRY.

Written for the Press.
The Shepherd and the Lamb.
BY DAVID BARKER.
In the Scottish hills as a Shepherd strolled,
In the eve with his ancient crook,
He found q lamb that was chilled and young
By the side OF purling brook.
And fearing the lamb might sicken and die
From its own mothers side might roam
He carried it up with tender care
To fold in his highland home.
Mid the dreary night-o'er the crsggy peaks
Through the winds, and the storms and cold,
The mother followed her captured lamb
To the door of the shepherds fold.
Once we had lamb by its mothers side
1t was artless and pure and mild
The dearest lamb in our own dear flock,
o, the pale little bue-eyed child!
But Shepherd came when the sun grew low,
By path that has long been trod'
And carried our lamb drought the mists OF night,
To his fold in the Mount Of God.
With fearful eye and bleeding heart,
We must bear it and struggle on;
Must climb the mount by the shepherd track,
To the fold where our lamb has gone.
