secretly serve the Copperheads In crying down
the civil and military officers Of the Govern
ment, have been busy for several days in mag
nifylng the disaster 10 our arms on the Red
river on the Sth inst, reiterating with seeming
delight the false report that Major General
Banks was commanding In person on that day,
and that he was therefore directly responsible
for the repulse. 1t turns out TO be a Copper
head and Reptile lie, intended 10 iryGre General
Banks. General Stone was the direct cause OF
the repulse Of our forces in the fight on the sth

The wool growers of Vermont, breeders of
the best sheep in the world, in a memorial pre-
sented to the Senate yesterday, by MIR. Foot,
show how the tariff on wool is a double failure,
affordlng no (adequate) revenue in this hour
of need, and furnishing no protection, most
foreign wool being smuggled In, In dirt and
grease, and the worst possible condition, to
give color to their pretence that 1t cost less than
eighteen cents, that the duty may be less than
one cent per pound, and so "pull the wool over
the eyes" of Legislators and cuBtom-house OIL
GERS. They ask a division into three grades,
with home valuation under eighteen cents,
three cents specific and twenty per cent. ad
yalorem; from eighteen to twenty-five, six
cents specific and twenty per cent, ad valorem;
over twenty-five cents, ten cents specific and
twenty per cent. ad yalorem.

The House held a working session in Com

the amendments made was one 10 strike out
the clause which authorizes gas companies TO
add the tax imposed by law to the price per
thousand cubic feet on gas sold. The only
effect Of this will be 10 compel gas managers to
add the tax TO the price before the sale is made
In debating the subject OF petroleum oil, a
member from Pennsylvania stated that whiskey
is luTury-and q bad one too-and added that
Shakespeare called II "hell broth" The de-
bate was instructive. One gentleman said If
the proposed amendment taxing refined Pc
troleum oil per gallon 25 cents, the women
would take hold Of the little button which
regulates the wick OF the petroleum lamp, and
the Consumption be decreased so much that
the revenue would gain nothing by the addl-
tional tax. The amendment was carried.
Crude petroleum was also taxed o. barrel.
The duty on screws, commonly called wood
screws, Is raised from to 10 per centum ad

An amendment was agreed to, laying tax

The tax on artificial mineral waters, sold In

WASHEGToS, N. c., April 20, 1854.
Gho following account OF the recent attack
on Plymouth, n. c., may be relied oni
On Sunday last large body of rebels moved
down the Roanoke river upon Plymouth, ac-
companied by aotilla consisting of a ram
and four other gunboats. or these, two were
river boats, which escaped our forces when
Plymouth was taken. The rest have been built
since. The rebel force is variously estimated
at three and at Ave brigades, consisting Of be-
tween fifteen and twenty-five thousand men.
As the fleet came TO the line of distractions
which forms part OF the protection of Ply
mouth, It engaged the Union gunboat White
head, and, 1t Is said, sunk her.
At the same time land attack was made on
Fort Grey, our furthest defensive work, about
Il mile above the town. The fort is under the
command Of Capt. Brown, Of the 95th New
York. His force is one company OF that regi-
ment and one of Massachusetts heavy artillery.
The enemy attacked him three times, and were
repelled with loss on each occasion. The
Bombshell, Union gunboat, which was In com
munication with him, was fired on as she
brought down his last dispatch to Plymouth,
and had three men wounded.
Gen. Vessels, an experienced officer, Is In
command at Plymouth. He was not taken by
surprise, having been Informed Of the probable
attack for some days, and, with Gen. Peck, thl
commander Of that department, having taking
measures to resistlt. He had sent non.com-
batants away, and was apprlsed Of the euemy'E
advance by his cavalry, who lost seveIal men
in killed, and brought in ten wounded in theiI
skirmishlng with the enemy's advances.
Our force on the water consisted Of the
Whitehead (tln-clad), guns Miami ant
Eutaw, each guns BOmbshell, 4 and the
Lockwood, g. The rebels were said 10 have 81
pieces of artillery, including a battery of 80
| Founders from Lees army.

night.
No fears were entertained from the land at
tack. II our gunboats were driven of by the
rebel iron -clads, the rebel hotilla would com
Inand the town from the river. But II will b.
seen that our naval force in guns Is superior t
the enemy'B. Delta.

sunk inside Of Hfteon minutes after she was
stfuck. The forward lashings were forcep by
the pressure Of the ram between our vestele,
and the Aftef onOl whfb then cut, and as many
ae could get ON board of the Miami did So.
When the Miami retired she was followed
short distance by the ram, which was cousid-
cred slow, making about four knots per hour.
The Miami, however, throwing solid shot al
her. Some of the crew OF the Smlthaeld took
the small boats and were picked up BY the
Whitehead.
The gunboats Miami, Whitehead, and Ceres
returned to the mouth Of the river and came

Some Of the officers and men Of the South

must have escaped. Few or none Of them were
probably lost. Acting Ensign Thomas ID. Har-
gous and Acting Third Assistant Engineer

were wounded. .... ..U.
None on the Miami were mortally wounded.
The Miami was uninjured. The rebel ram, II
is thought, did not use her guns. Whilst the
ram was under the bows OF the Southneld none
OF the latter's guns could be brought 10 bear
on her. Shells were fred at the ram as she
approached the Southaeld. Tho rebel ram
hred shot from small guns as the Miami re.
