TIE TRAP ser FOR IRIsHMEN.

The editors and orators who daily and
nightly are at work for MCCLELLAN are
doing good thing, by driving thousands Of
Irishmen into the support Of LINCOLN and
JOHNSON. They have published letter from
his Accidency," MILLARD FILLMORE, the
Know-Nothing chieltan, who asserted that an
Irishman had no rights that an American was
bound to respect.
They daily publish extracts from the Lon
don Times, the organ Of the English arlsto-
cracy, praisingiMCCLELLAN to the skies, and,
as far as they dare, commanding the former
subjects OF the British Crown now resident in
this country to vote for the Democratic can
didate. There are two hundred millions OF
the Rebel loan held in England. Is 1t not a
beautiful spectacle to see the British lords and
bankers endeavoring to make their cotton
BONDS worth something through the agency Of
the very Irishmen whom they have driven
from their famine-stricken homes by unheard
of oppression, to find an asylum of liberty Oh
this continentP

We have heard Of no even plausible reason
for this bad feature in our taxation Of which
we are speaking, except The shilling nature Of
personal property and the difficulty Of reach
ing 10. There may be some force In this
objection, but It Is more speclous than sound.
II is not impossible either to trace wealth TO
It's ownership, under whatever intangible
and illusive shape II may exist In, or to ascer-
tain its true value when found The process
may be attended with more or less perplexl-
ties and mpediments, but one may be
devised which would be both feasible and
efficient
II should never be said that Government
imposes It's whole burden OF taxation on any
one class Of a community, because all other
classes manage 10 elude the imposition Of
fair share of the charge against them. All
property, real and personal, must, for It's own
protection under the laws against loss, be
ostensibly in somebody's hands; and If the
present forms of transfer and possession admit
Of too easy an evasion Of the public levy, the
Legislature should so amend or supplement
the legislation Of the State as to make the
ownership or responsible tenure of every item
of personal estate either apparent or readily
ascertainable, and also facilitate It's reduction
to fair and convenient apprasoment

ADMIRAL n. q. FARRAeUr.

The arrival Of this distinguished naval hero
AZ Fortress Monroe has caused considerable
speculation among the people. Although the
order has not been promulgated, yet It is
known that the Admiral has been assigned to
the command OF the North Atlantic Block
aiding Squadron. This win include the fleets
operating Off Wilmington and those in the
James river. II is generally supposed that the
Admiral will first visit Lieutenant-G General
GRANT at City Point, and there perfect plans
FOR Che cooperation of his iron-clad squadron
in tine James river with the army in the cap
t,ire Of Richmond.
Probably the most important movement,
and one which will require the most extensive
display Of naval genius, win be either the
closing up of the mouth ofthe Cape Fear river
or the capture the forts and batteries defend
ing Wilmington, North Carolina, and possibly
the occupation of that place. While both of
these movements are eminently important, and
victory in either would prove very advanta.
geous TO our cause, still 1t is evident and espe-
chilly proper that the sphere of Admiral FAR
RAGUT's action should be extended to include
Charleston, if not the entire naval forces of the
country. As ranking Rear-Admiral, such
command might be conferred upon FARRA-
cur at once; and it is due to his eminent ser
vices that the President should confer upon
him the special advanced grade of Admiral
and Commander-in-Chief-a grade and office
much needed in our navy, and one we have
never had. The assistance, direction, and
Adutno xuhirh AHpniroI Aut 81,
tOOur able Secretary of the Navy in directing
the operations on our coast and rivers would
be inestimable; for, in addition to being gene
rally allowed to be the greatest naval hero Of
modern times, Admiral FARRAeUr is equally
great as an executive officer.
II is gratifying that Admiral FARRAGUI
has been placed at Hampton Roads, from the
fact that in Lynnhaven Bay, near by, as a
youthful midshipman, he witnessed his first
triumph, under one Of the most distinguished
naval commanders our country has ever pro
duced What If the crowning glories of hit
LIE should be graciously and fortuitively
achieved within cannon sound of this region
rAt Norfolk, the Admiral long knew plea.
SAINT home, and there 1t was that he obtained
the hand of the estimable lady who is now the
partner of his cares and triumphs, his SORROWS
Hnd his joys. 1t is a saying in the Navy thai
Admiral FARRAGUT has way Of working up
\ great success where ordinary men see
nothing but monotonous and disadvantageous
strife; and we hope that the adage may prove
true in this case, that he win bring order and
victory out of the chaos which has heretofore
existed to great extent in the rivers and
bays Of Eastern Virginia and on the coast OF
North Carolina.

HIGHLY IMPOR FAINT ARRESTS.

Capture of sixteen Indiana GueriIIas
and Three of the Lake Erie Pirates.
Our readers will recOllect the recent attack on
a gang Of labOrers on the Ohio and Mississippi
railroad, with the design of robblng the pay
masters car, and the plunderlng ofseverAl depots
and stores along the line Of the above named
road in Southern Indiana. These outrages were
mentioned in our columns at the time Of their
occurrence Satisfied that there was an organized
gang of desperadoes at work, the directors OF the
Ohio and Mississippi railroad entrusted the task
of ferreing out the villains to the well-knowR
Jesse WOrley, of this city, who executed u
mission with much success. as the sequel Will
show. On Friday last, assisted by officer w. s..
Henkle, of Sullivan, Sullivan county Indiana,
he arrested In the vicinity of the last-named place
sixteen of the band who attacked the train One
Of them was killed in attempting to escape the
bands Of the law, while the others we're safely
lodged in jail.
They are all residents of the neighborhood of
Sullivan with the exception of their leader, one
Captain Vandyke, formerly connected with John
Morgan. He is also in custody. Large amounts
Of stolen goods have been found in their possess
sion and of their guilt there is'nO doubt, each
is desirous of turning States evidence against his
accompliCes. The capture of these freebooters
led 10 even more important arrests. While in
Sullivan on Saturday Mr.. Worey observed three
suspicious characters, whom he at once had ar
rested and searched. From papers found on
their persons it appeared that they were officers
in the Rebel army; Captain Clay Wilson of
Tennessee, and two Leutenants named Murray
and Damon.
The papers also showed that they were con-
nected with the late piratcsl demonstration on
Lake Erie, and that they we're plotHng the burn =
ing of Government arsenals and other public
buildings. Among their effects were receipts for
making Greek fire and quantity of the chemi-
calls which enter into its composition. They were
lodged in Jail, and the authorities at indianapolis
notified of the facts. Orders were returned to
send them to indianapolis, which was done.
Their examination will take place in day or
two. As will be seen from the facts which we
have briefly recapitulated, these arrests arc Of
high Importance, and reflect credit upon the
energy, shrewdness, and promptness of Mr..
Worley - Cincinnati Gazette.

Forests Movements In Tennessee.

FORESTS Movements I'm Tennessee.
Tho latest account from the Forrest raid is that
the Rebel commander moved southwark, and
that he has besieged Huntsville, aud demanded
the surrender of the place, which was commanded
by Colonel g. NJ. Johnson, but the demand was
refused
Since that time we have heard nothing relative
to the situation; but we know something of the
movements that are on foot, though II would be
manifestly improper to disclose them.
We have no fears for the final results. The
Rebels have done all the mischief they could,
and are now at the end of their string. They
must retreat at once to the south side Of the
Tennessee.
LATBR.-Forrest turns up mysteriously at
Spring HILL twelve miles below Franklin, aud is
tearing up the railroad between that and CO'um-
bia. He came in from the direction of Mount
Carmel. 1t is not known what was the force that
threatened Huntsville.
Reports are in circulation that force of 5000
Rebel cavalry advancing, under some un-
known leader, from the Tennessee river, on
Columbia and like force of infantry on Pulaski;
bnt of this we know nOthing.-Nashrile Union of

Important Decision of the Internal
Revenue Commissioner.

Important Decision of the Internal
Revenue Commissioner.
In recent sale in New York, through bro
ker, Of merchandise amounting to $4,000 for
gold il was claimed the tax of one-eighth of one
per centum, or $25, could be paid in legal tender
Treasury notes. The collector insisted on tue
payment of gold OF its equivalent. The decision
of the Commissioner of Internal Revenue having
been requested, he replied that the question to be
determined was not in what medium the tax
shall be paid, but upon what basis it shall be
computed, adding
If you have sold goods for $4,000 payable in
currency or in coin, then this sam is the measure
of the value of the goods sold; but if you sold the
merchandise stipulating TO receive $4,000 in
gold, which is itself an article of purchase and
sale, the value Of the gold must first be ascer-
tanned. II $4,000 in gold happens TO be worth
S40,0O In the legal tender currency, the latter
sum expresses the amount of goods sold. The
tax Of $50 being thus ascertained, is payable in
Treasury legal tender notes.
