THE WAR IN JAPAE.-dne,'tean pesaS
English Gens.-A Yokohama (Japan) cor
respondent of the Philadelphia Iaquirer
gives an account of the recent fight be-
tween the allied fleets and the japanese
forts on the inland sea, and says that
most of the latest improvements in gun
merry and naval batteries were worked
on board some of the finest ships of the
English Royal Navy engaged in the ex-
petition but the single riflea Parrott
gun Of the Jamestown, placed on board
the American steamer Ia Kiang did
greater execution than the best Arm
strong or Whitworth guns belonging to
the English fleet. The japanese were
defeated with terrible slaughter, and
many Of their guns were brought away.
The casualties to the feet were compar
atively few. Lieut.. Pearson and the AZ
teen men from the jamestown who took
part In the expedition have all returned
on board in safety. On the 28th Of Sep
tember the Jamestown received on
board brass so FOUNDER gun, 56 cwt.,
6-inch bore, captured in the engage
ment from the Japanese. This trophy
will be sent to the Naval Department at

DEATHS IN RgBBL PRISONS. From a

select the following from Vermont.

Cavalry.
The above with the exception Of the
last died at Savannah. Cooley died at
Florence. The correspondent Of the
Times who writes from "OfY Fort Sum-
ter, Dec. 12," states that the prison au-
thorities kept no correct list of the
deaths, and probably hundreds have
been buried In unknown graves. he
bodies Of the dead sometimes remained
twO days in the stockade before the ,e-
'groee found time to remove theh OF

the sick lie upon the ground, with a
shelter of pine boughs that keeps of the
sun but allows the rain to fall upon
them as freely as though the boughs
were not there. The patients have to
do their own cooking If they eat at all,
in tin cups. No wonder men die at the
rate of twenty-five day out of 700 pa
tients, or about four per cent each day.

nEPoRT OF The COMMISSIONER or In
TERNAb REvESuE.-This report shows
that the revenue from excise has stead
lily Increased from the month Of May,
1868, when it was nearly five millions,
to the month Of June, 1884, when it was
nearly fifteen millions making an ag-
gregate for the past four months of the
current fiscal year Of nearly sixty-two
millions of dollars. The next, seven
months, it is estimated, will yield one
bun,,red and fifteen millions of dollars,
and the Year ending 30th of June next
two hundred and sixty five millions, and
for 1855 three hundred millions. The
two dollar tax upon spirits is recon-
mended to be Immediately applied. A
singular statement is made in regard to
the reduction in the manufacture of liq-
uors. It seems that while the produc-
ton has very nearly ceased, the con-
sumption has increased-sfx hundred
barrels daily, including Sundays. being
consumed in the city of New York
alone.

LADIES LEvBE AT LUDLow..--On Fri
day evening last, the ladies of, the First
Congregational Society held their annu-
al Levee at the Ludlow House, OF which
Mr.. Geo. H. Cole, formerly of Rutland,
is the gentlemanly proprietor. Acrowd-
ed audience in the best of humor, aud
varied and pleasant entertainment made
the affair a brilliant success. Tableaux
arranged with excellent taste, the
crowning of the May Queen, and an
amusing charade formed an interesting
part of the programme. The Ludlow
Cornet Band discoursed some fine music.
Six young men sang in character the
popular piece entitled Johnny
Schmoker.n A Glee Club from Pittsfield,
Mass, enlivened the proceedings with
several humorous and well executed
pieces. Abundance of ice cream and an
oyster supper supplied the demands of
every appetite.
Miss Susie Adams was the favorite
competitor for handsome Photographic
album, which was given to the lady re-
ceiving majority Of votes. A turtle,
as good as alive, was similarly disposed
Of aud became the property Of Miss Nell
lie e. Pelton. Rev. r. B. Snowden re-
ceived the most votes from the ladies
and was made the happy owner of a
beautiful silver goblet.
The feature OF the evening was the
presentation of an elegant dressing
gown by the teachers and scholars Of
the Sabbath School to Mr.. G. 8. Reddeld,
superintendent Of the school. The ad-
dress was prepared and delivered by
Miss Lydia A. Pierce, in the following
| very appropriate words: ~ ~
Centuries ago great gift was be-
slowed upon sinful, erring mankind. It
was the free, unmerited gift Of the

versary OF the Son OF God is near.

Fosr McApLlssss.-Fort McAllister,

FoaT ADMINISTRATION McAllister,
at the mouth of the Ogeecbee is an old
and tough acquaintance OF ours. Two
years ago, or in January, 1868, it was
attacked and bombarded for six hours,
by the monitor Montauk, commanded by
the gallant Worden; and in March OF
the same year, grand attack was made
upon it by four monitors, in charge OF
the gallant Drayton, now commander OF
Admiral Farragut's flagship; but these
attacks, though they taught us and the
rest of the world many valuable lessons
as, regards earthen works end end iren ships,
had no effect whatever upon the rebel
fertilization. It remained in its glory
for two years, until Sherman came
o,oag on Wednesday last, and carried
q hr storm In the rear.

TAxls ON Matches Portland
Advertiser Gays matches are now import
ed into the United States from New
Brunswick, aud sold in packages snita-
BILE for the retail trade, without being
stamped or paying any tax under the
internal revenue law. The duty upon
importation is very much less than the
stamps put upon friction matches Of
domestic manufacture. The conse-
quence is that the imported matches are
sold so low that manufacturers Of
matches in this country cannot compete
In the market. Already, at least, three
manufacturers Of matches have removed
from Maine into New Brunswick to car.
ry on the business there.

The WTED-OrDYKg LIBEL SUR is slow
ly progressing in the Supreme Court, at
New York, before Judge Mason. The
plaintiff, Mr.. Opdyke, claims $50, 900
damages for an alleged libel published
In the Albany Journal In a letter signed
sT. W. The alleged libel charged OPP
dyke with being swindler, with hav-
ing made money out of shoddy con-
tracts, with selling his influence to pro-
cure the Office of Surveyor OF the Port
for one Of his friends, and with many
other delinquencies Of the same kind.
The defendant alleges the truth Of the
charges in justification, and will proceed
to prove them on trial. But little was
done on Tuesday, the opening day Of
the trial, ss the defendant had already
admitted the publication Of the alleged
libels. Plaintiff examined two witnesses
to prove the circulation OF the Journal,
and the case was adjourned until
Wednesday. On that day ex-Judge
Pierrepont commenced his argument for
the defence at 10 IL o'clock and Occu-
pied the attention Of the Court for fouI
hours. A person not knowing the ma
ture of the case would get the idea from
Mr.. Pierrepont's speech that Opdyks
was on trial instead Of weed. 1t was
terrible arraignment of the ex-Mayol
throughout, charging him with pecnla
ton, duplicity and fraud. The case L
causing great excitlmens in the Metro

MILITARY AcTIvITy.-The contrast be-
tween the state of the war at present
with that which has usually prevailed
at this season of the year must be as
surprising as it is gratifying to all loyal
men. Instead of being laid up in winter
quarters, giving the rebels time to rest
from their exhausting tolls and prepare
for the spring campaign, the latter are
being vigorously pushed at all points,
and with excellent success, on the whole.
Take our mornings news for instance.
In the grst place, there is Gen. Thomas
victory in Tennessee, won in two days
hard fight, gloriously complete in all
respects, heavily disastrous 10 the rebel
cause in the Southwest, and most i'm
portant as respects the future.
Secondly, we have from Gen. Sherman
laying aside the doubtful report of his
taking Savannah-the capture of Fort
McAllister, which puts him in commu-
nication with the fleet, aud perfectly in
sures the fall of Savannah Thirdly and
fourthly, we have two expeditions sent
out from Vicksburg and Baton Rouge
by Gen. Candy, to cut the railroad CON-
munications of Hood with Mobile and
those upon which he mainly depends for
his supplies-both expeditions being,
successful. Filthy, we have a brilliant
expedition into southwestern Virginia,
breaking up the rebel communications
and involving the probable capture of
the important salt works in that vicini-
ty. And finally, we have the great ex-
peditionary force on its way from For
tress Monroe To- the point where
it is to strike Could more satisfac-
tory view of the field be desired at Just
this time ?-Bostoa Journal.

The sermon of the Rev. DR.. Foster is
reported to us as being an exceedingly
eloquent effort, which was listened to
attentively, and highly praised by the
large congregation present. among
whom were number from other de-

very finely.
