tfrosn TIC Washington chsuolcle, April 1871
The House adopted, yesterday, two impor-
tant resolutions, on motion Of Mr.. Arnold,
Of 1llinois, which will attract universal at.
tentlon. TIE first declares it to be the i'm
peratiyc duty Of Congress to raise the taxes
60 as largely to increase the rcyenuc. md that
the subjects Of additional taxation should be
1uxuriees whether imported or Of domestic
production The second resolution declares
in favor Of ta1ing bank circulation SO as to
prevent their excessive issue, which is de-
clared to be the cause of the present general
depreciation of paper currency. These reso-
lutions were adopted BIZ vote of sixty-two
yeas to forty.s nays, aud If Immediately fol-
lowed up by corresponding legislation, the
effect will be to inspire confidence In the
finances. We congratulate the country upon
the adoption Of these resolutions.
It may be hoped that majority Of the
members will rise superior to the mere In
stircts Of the demagogae, which ever prompt
him to Shrink from the thought of imposing
heavier taxes however much the maintenance
Of the rational credit and the existence Of
the nation may require 1t. We showed,
some weeks ago, that the British Govern
ment, during It's twenty years struggle with
Napoleon, raised two:thirls OF the annual
expenditures by taxation; and We are grati-
fed to perceive that the Secretary Of the
Treasury has expressed the opinion that Con
gress shonld impose taxes ut least eauai to
kalf our yearly expenses. The country my
, 1864-04-30

depend upon 1t, that unless something OF
this Kind Is done the public credit will give
WAY under the constantly Increasing load OF
obligations which rests upon it. Il England
bnely maintained her credit while going ~
debt annually to the extent Of ono third her
espenses-which, BY the way, were never equal
to ours during the last two years -how c,n
VI expected to avoid bankruptcy. while bor.
rowing nine dollars for every ten that arc
di4buffed? The touehstone Of patriotism at
present Is the courage with which members
Of Congress show themselves ready to>Vote
taxes. To hold back when the honor, the IN.
tegrity, and the success of the nation are a
Etnte, will argue degree Of demagosaltsam taa
men who rrefers the preservation Of bis pop
ularity to the honor of bis country Ia Infinite
ly meaner than an armed rebel, who, at least,
risks his life in order to crafty bis ambition.
This country can 1aise five hundred millions
Of dollars in taxes casler than Great Britain
csuld raise three hundred and sixtytor seventy
millions fifty years ago. There were no rail-
reads in existence at TINT time. no steamboats,
and steamships; aud these are but the expo
Dcnts Of general progress.

rx<.Ess1vE ImPORTArIoNs,

Ono cause alleged for the recent advance in
rold from 16O TO $50 aud 100 is the excessive
i,nportatfon1 Of goods and warcs from En-.
rope, In anticipation Of an Increase of tariff:
Enormous orders have been seEt over to b
filed. The result is that immense sums Of
gold are shipped 10 Europe to make pay
ments On these excessive purchases, and 9TH
or Immense sums arc required to pay the
Custom House duea. Between the two there
Is an extraordinary demand for gold, and
this enables the holders and tpeculator to
run up the price. The exports Of produce
arc light very little breadstuffs are going to
England, the demand being snail The bnl-
ance Of trade is heavy against this country,
and tho precious metals have to be exported
to Pay the differences Most Of the gold
crop Of California and Nevaaa is sent IRON
San Francisco to London and Paris direct, in
foreign vessels, to escape the
chances Of capture by Confederate
privatecrs. THIS gold, amounting to fifty or
sixty millions year, il overlooked in COM
putting the exports Of bullion. The prcducts
Of the mines Of Colorado, Idaho ans New
Mexico, find their way to Europe from New
York The whole expectation ofgold exceeds
ONE hundred millions annually. What is
being received In exchange for our precious
metals arc brandics, rums, gins, wines,
opium, Havana cigars, SILKS, satans, broad
cloths, lacea, ribbons, carpets, furniture,
ehawls, feathers, diamonds. jewclrr, cos
mctics, furs, pictures, statusy, drugs,

lay prostrated the mntilated body Of an old
man, apparently forty five years Of age. His
cap lay oy INC side Of his head in pool of
blood, y bile his long, flowing grey beard was
dyed With his blood. A shell had fearfnlly
1accrated his right leg, while his belt was
pierced In TWO places, both balls entering
the ABDOMINAL region. In front of the long
belt OF woods which sklrted the open field,
and from which the rebels EMERGED 40 boldly,

slaughter among the rebels was terrific. In
many places the enemy dead were piled up
In groups, interm1xed with our dead. 1 saw
two or three Of our men whose bodies had

It Ia universally supposed that We inaictcd

Saturday than he did On us. Admitting that
the undiminfehed ya1or ofour troops forced
the enemy to retreat, leaving US in full pos-

WASHINGTON, April ~, 16T4.
One Of The conspicuous features of tho New
York fair, Just ended, was the expensive
dresses ofthe ladies'. A gentlemen who made
tour Of that vast demonstration, rivalins,
us It did, the WoEId's Exposition at London,
tells nc that the splcudor and costliness Of
the attire Of the women was the most painful
sight that greeted his eye. I fear his remark
applied to New York is more or less true OF
ali the loyal States. Do we not know that it
is true: It is a ghastly spectacle, in the
midst Of euch a tragedy as this, to see jew
els and embroidery, and Oriental splendor,
where we should fnd only quiet good taste
and the eyer-prescnt example Of economy
and frugality. These decorations are like
diamonds upon corpses, or wreaths upon
ekelctons-bor1ible mockeries Of the truth,
and insults to the holiest seusibIllties. The
desire Of display extends to all classes. Not
alone the elegant lady, educated and re-
fined, but the servant girl, whose " yes are
supposed to be barely sufficient for her
ordinary wants, is controlled by. it. On
Sunday last, a gentleman pointed me to
a we'll dressed woman, whose clothes GER
ta5nly had not cost less than one hundred
dollars, and said, 'sThat is my cookm It is
common for woman who gets her nine or
ten dollars month to spend thirty or forty

ANOTHER change OF base of the Army of
the Potomac, is announced in our de-
SpAtches this morning. Our news for seve.
raj days has satisfied US that move of
this kind WAS on foot, and it is probable
that at this time the Army of the Potomac
is on the banks of the James River. On
that base Gen. Grant can cut of and hold
the rebel communications with the South,
aud In conjunction with the now more
formidable operations OF Gen. Hunter on
the West, can speedily make the rebel &C.
cuPancy of their lean and furnishing den
very uncomfortable. We may now look
for some stirring news from the Army of
the Potomac before many days.
We have no confirmation of the capture
Of Fort Darling, published by us yester.
day, but our dispatches announce that the
Fort must soon surrender, and thus open
up the way for our gunboAts to Richmond.
The Kentucky raid has resulted very
disastrously to Morgan and his gang of
horse thieves. According to the dispatch
from Gen. Burbridgs to Secretary Stanton,
itappears that after an hours hard fighting,
he killed 300 Of Morgan's msn, wounded as
many more, captured 400, besides 1000 of
Gen. Hobson's men, aud over 1000 horses.
A pretty good hOur's fighting, and we un-
derstaud they are "whoIIy demoraliz ed"
It's great pity our force did not succeed
in capturing Morgan again. Had they done
SO, he would have been more securely
kept than when an inmate of the Ohio
Penitentiary.
