cision concerning the tax on carriage manu-
facturers

&C., are subject to a tax of 8 per cent dd
raloTen upon the amount of the increased
value, under section 95, aud the proyiso in
section 81 in the paragraph relating to furni-
ture and other articles made of wood. But the
claim TO be deducted by the manufacture of
carriages when bought Is not well founded, as
the carriage is not 'an article made of wood but
of wood combined with other materials in its con-

"When manufacturer produces an article o

part of a structure in the line of his business, a.
in the case o carriage -maker-a hub, spoke

PaI ticuIRrs of Reduction of Fort Morgan.
The following in relation to the bombardment
Of Fort Morgan was received at the Navy De-
pariment yesterday morning.

Navy.-Sir IL have the honor 10 inform the
Department that on the evening Of the 2lst inst ,

would be ready to open on Fort Morgan at day
light the next morning. / accordingly gave
directions for the monitors and the vessels with
suitable guns TO move up and be ready TO open
upon II with the army.
l had previously landed four 9-inch guns, aud
placed them in battery under the command of
Lieutenant H. Is. Tyson, of the Hartford, and
manned them with crews taken from the Hart
ford, Brooklyn, Richmond, and Laokaioanna, in
conjunction with the batteries of the army. At
daylight on the 22d, the bombardment began
from the shore batteries, the monitors and ships,
inside the bar and outside, and a more magnif-
cent fire l think has rarely been kept up for
twenty -four hours.
At $50 p. NJ. the citadel took fire, and the
general ordered the near batteries TO redoubls
their fire. At this morning an explosion took
place in the fort, aud at 80 the white flag vas
displayed on the fort. Immediately sent Fleet
Captain DTayton 10 meet General Granger to
arrange the terms for the surrender of the fort
These were that the fort, its garrison, and all

AN APPEAL To THREE CoUNCILmUY

Il has been publicly reported that our city
Is about 10 lose the services of three of the
most valuable members Of Select Council
viz: Messrs. john PRICE WErHERmL
HENRY DAVIS, and e. SPENCER MILLER
We sincerely trust that the rumor is un-
founded, or that the gentlemen alluded to will
reconsider their intention, and by remaining
at their posts still continue to protect and ad-
vance the interests of the city of Philadelphia.
Whatever personal sacrifice they may make
in the unpaid, and thankless routine OF
official duty, they have the cheering con-
sciousness that their devoted and able support
OF every measure to promote the welfare oi
our citizens, and strengthen the hands of the
Government, and their scathing opposition
TO every corrupt scheme of extravaganza, has
been watched, and gratefully appreciated by
thousands of citizens Of all parties. We but
echo the popular sentiment when we urge
these gentlemen not to abandon their honor
able and responsible posts.

For the undiluted enjoyment OF the coIn-

Interval between the early browning OF the

autumnal fruits, the hunt, the corn-gathering

private schools and although the trainers Of tho

with the progress Of this progressive age yet ~
would doubtless greatly accrue 10 the advantage
Of both teacher and pupil If the priyate-school
teachers would form an association (similar to
that recently organized under the name Of "The
Philadelphia Press Club''), for mutual oonsul,a-
ton, and the Advancement Of their high and noble
profession.
Having recently conversed with many Of these
teachers, / find that but very few are personally
acquainted-knowing each other merely by repu-
taton and IL is this seemingly antipathetic feeling
that prompts me to urge, through your columns,
upon the teachers Of the private schools of Phla-
