Important Order by Gen. .MeAds-AIen Re-

Major Gen. Meade, commanding the Army

portant orders

May ., 1854
General Orders, No. A.-The Commanding
General having learned that notwithstanding
the caution contained In General Order No. 30,
OF April 18th, 1854, from these headquarters,
there are men In this army who refuse to do
duty on the ground that their term OF service
has expired, II will be made known 10 such
men that their conduct, being open mutiny,
will be punished with death without trial, un-
less they promptly return to dutyj and here
after, any soldier who refuses TO do duty on
similar plea will instantly be shot, without any
form OF trial whatever. The honor OF the SER
vice and the necessities OF the hour admit Of
no other disposition OF such cases.
The Commanding General again expresses
the hope that the soldiers OF this army will
respectfully ask for and cheerfully abide by
the decision OF the War Department with re-
spect TO their term Of service; but he has no
further word Of warning for those who, at a
time like the present, choose 10 defy lawful
authority.
Corps and Other independent commanders
arc charged with the execution Of this order.

The Rebel Rnid.

Fuller details of the rebel operations
show that instead of diverting the atten-
ton of Grant from Petersburg and Rich
mond as they contemplated, they have
been entrapped into a position whence
they may not so readily escape.
The force now at Harpers Ferry con-
sists chiefly of the troops sent by Lee to
operate against General Hunter. 1t is
quite evident that when they we're ordered
to begin a raid toward Pennsylvania, Lee
did not contemplate the destruction Of the
railroads by Generals Wilson and Kautz.

somewhat, and obliged General Grant. 1t

The Tax on Incomes

The following is an exact copy of the
joint resolution assessing a special tax on
incomes:
Resolved by the Senate and House of
Representative Of the United States in
Congress assembled, That, in addition to
an income duty already imposed by law,
there shall be levied, assessed and collected
on the first day Of October, 1864, special
income duty upon the gains, profits, or in
comes for the year ending the 3lst dav of
December next preceding the time herein
named for levYing assessing, and collect
ing said duty of all persons residing with
in the United States, or of citizens of the
United States residing abroad, at the rate
of five per centum on all sums exceeding
six hundred dollars, and the same shall be
levied, assessed, estimated and collected.
except as to the rate according to the pro-
visions Of the existing laws for the collee-
ton Of an income duty annually, where
not inapplcable hereto; and the Secretary
Of the Treasury is hereby authorized to
make such rules and regulations as to time
and mode, OF other matters, to enforce the
collection of the special income duty here
in provided; that in estimating the annual
gains, profits, or incomes as aforesaid for
the foregoing special income duty, no de-
ductiOn shall be made for dividends OF in
terest received from any association, cor
pOration, or company, nor shall any deduc-
tion be made for any salary or pay re-

war In Europe.
The oonfict between Germany and
Dsanlark, which has been in suspense fo1
several months, during the sitting of the
Dano-German Conference at London, is
already renewed in consequence ofthe fail
ure of the Conference to suggest any
scheme for the adjustment of the Difficult
ties. Although, there has not yet been an
official declaration on the part of England
that she win side with Denmark, yet,
al the circumstances go to prove that this
is the only resort yet remaining. The op-
position Of the Tories has recently been 50
loud and threatening that the English
government can no longer be an idle spec
tatOr in so important a struggle.
England must take the offensive against
Germany. There is no escape from the
conclusion, however much the Queens
sympathies may lead her to side with Ger
many.
Among other circumstances pre-saging
such action on the part of England, are
the threatening tone of al the leading
English journals-the declaration Of the
British Foreign Secretary that the British
feet was in readiness for any action that
may be desired Of it. and the declaration Of
Lord Palmerston in the House Of Com
mons to the same effect.
The first step will probably be a demon
stration by the English feet on the Baltic,
in which, it is said by French journals, the
French feet viii not take part. Napoleon,
willy plotter that he Is, viii wait awhile
until ne sees what 1t is best to do. He has
never forgiven England for deserting him
in his Mexican missionary enterprise-nor
has he quite forgotten that England was un-
favorable to his pet scheme OF Al European
Conference in behalf of Poland.
If the result of the present complications
is to embron the continent in general
war, the effect, although to be deplored in
the interests of mankind, viii not be so un-
favorable to this country, as it prevents
interventions, endangers the commerce
now carried on in foreign bottoms, and by
reason of such insecurity makes an in
creased demand for American products.-
The system of English neutrality practised
toward US, Will be initiated toward Eng
land by continental powers. English yes
sels viii be in danger from many Alaba-
mas. The export of wheat from Southern
Russia and Northern Germany to England
and France must be greatly endangered,
and great foreign demand for American
cereals created. Such will be some Of the
incidental sesults which the next European
news, announcing more decisively the ac-
tion of England, may have on American
affairs.
In the present state of feeling which
pervades Germany, there can be but little
doubt that the adjournment of the London
Conference and the commencement of
hostilities on the 9th of June, viii compel
England into Continental war

The Destruction of the AIabama---A
victory Over John Bull.

By this decisive victory we have done
more than merely rid the seas of pratt
cal pest. We have annihilated that mar
inc hypothesis, the rebel navy, and we have
administered a good blow to the British
navy. We have beaten jeff Davis and
John Bull in a single ship; for the Ala
bama was an Englishman. She was built
Of that 'British oakS of which we have
heard in certain sailors songs She was
armed with British cannon, and manned
and fought by British tars-sailoTs trained
in the British navy. She was an English
ship in all but her commander and her
colors and an English commander would
not have been an advantage Let John
Bull take notice. therefore, that we have
beaten a man-of-war Of his organization in
honest battle, without the loss of man
and without injury to our ship. Let him
take notice, also, that we can, with the
blockade off our hands, cover the English
channel with ships like the Kearsage.
Another important point in the battle is
that It took place in Europe 1t was
fought under the very noses Of the nations
that have always pooh-poohed our vic
tories. In England and Franco they read
of the far away battles of our armies, and
our victories make no impression But
this naval victory they will believe in

Why are There no Seats in the Parl,

why are Ahere no seats lm the EatrA :
1t is a very common question, among
both citizens and strangers, why there arc
no seats in the Park. The parks of all
other cities are provided with seats, enab-
ling tired pedestrians to refresh themselves
by sitting down under the. shades of the
trees. Children and nurses, who may be
in the park, are not compelled to stand up
all the time while there. We do not re-
collect in our travelings having seena pub
lie park so utterly wanting in places for
sitting down.
There certainly can be no objection in
Cleveland which does not exist elsewhere
We are in pursuit of information.
VIII the City Council please inform the
public why there are no seats in the Park?
IF there are no good reasons against it,
let us have seats furnished.
