It is expected your correspondence with

we'll aware, that the United States
have ample means for the support Of pris-
oners, as well as for every other exigeney
of war. Insurgents who have blindly
rushed into thatcondition, suffering no pri-
vations that have appealed for relief and
charity either at home or abroad, American
people will be likely TO reflect. The sum
thus judiciously rendered in the name of
humanity constitutes no large portion of
the profits which its contributors may be
Justly supposed to have derived from the
insurgents by exchanging with them arms
and munitions of war for cotton, the pro-
duction of slave labor. The devastation
and destruction which civil war has caused

HOUSE.

A4NbDAas
A joint resolution explanatory Of so
much internal revenue, as refers to duty
on cigars, was reported back from Keys'
and Means Committee.
Mr.. Brooks said the bill should be post
poned, and q debate ensued, several men,
bers urging that as the law Is now con.
strued, the Government is kept ont of i'm
mense sums of revenue by evasions of the
law. Postdoned till Monday.
a message was received from the Presi-
dent suggesting that Captain Winslow and
Lieutenant Cushing of the NAVY, receive
vote Of thanks. Referred to the Naval
Gommitte
The various branches of the Presidents
Message were referred to the standing
committees.

= Mr.. Stevens from the Committee on
Ways and Means, reported back the Joint
Resolution, explanatory of the Internal
Revenue Act as refers to the duty on
cigars.
Mr.. Brooks, of New York, said that the
Secretary of the Treasury had recommend
ed that the tax be laid on the leaf, and ne
now wished TO know whether the Com
mittee of Ways and Means intended to
change the duty on tobacco. He suggest
ed that the bill be postponed for a lew
days, for further examination. There was
no doubt, from the best information, the
best way was TO attach one cent stamp to
each cigar sold, and this would produce q
| larger revenue than the principle in the
bill
Mr.. Stevens explained that all the com.
mittee had done was 70 put a proper con.
struction on the law in contradiction to d
very erroneous decision of the Commission
ers OF Internal Revenue. Mr.. S. showed
that nine-tenths of the cigars manufactured
since Congress adjourned had paid thro,
dollars instead of eight dollars thousand
owing 10 the construction of the Commis
sioneIs Of Internal Revenue
At tn suggestion of Mr.. Stevens fntae
consideration of the subject was postponed
till Monday.

PREsIDENr's MESSAGE.
The President to-day sent a message to
the Senate in reply to Mr.. Summers reso-
luton calling upon him, if rot incOmpati.
ble with the public interest, to furnish the
Senate any information in his possession
in relation to q proposition of British sub
jects to give aid to rebellion. Lord Wharn-
cliffe informs Mr.. Adams that the Liver
pool Bazaar produced about $4,000, and
asks permission for an accredited agent to
visit the military prisons within the North
ern States aud distribute aid TO their in
mates. He denies that any political aid is
offered or any imPutation that that the
confederate prisoners arc deprived of such
attention as the ordinary rules enjoin, and
says officers of the great contest will be
damned by individuals, be i. greater or less,
and you whose family name is interviewer
with American history cannot visw with
indifference with individual suffering of
American citizens, whatever their State or
opinions.
Mr.. Adams replied: It has been the de-
sire of this Government to treat with un-
necessary or vindiotive severity any of the
misguided individuals or parties in this de-
plorable rebellion that we have favored
the interests of men in the regular course
of the war, and that he should greatly re-
joice if the effects of such sympathy could
be extended to ministering to thoir men,
tai aid as we'll as bodily suffering, thus
contributing to put an end to the struggle
which otherwise Is 700 likely to be only
procrastinated by their English symps-
thizers.

THE REASONS WHY.

Why is IT that the inns, from day to day,
since the attack upon the Printers Union in
this city by that establishment, contains no less
than three notices in every issue for compost
tors? Why is il that Messrs. Storey & wordes
are almost daily making overtures to members
of the Chicago Typographical Union to come
out from that organization and 60 TO work upon
the Times These are questions which every
thinking mind can readily answer In the
first place the immense female force they are
at present seeking to use for Interior purposes,
with the aid ofsome dozen or more male bipeds,
styling themselves "male printers" are entirely
inadequate to perform the manual labor of that
establishment, and issue respectable sheet
In the second place, all these gentlemen wish
now is to break up the . Union by promising
great things TO such of it, members as will dis
avow all allegiance TO it and accept work in
that establishment We say to these ,ntle-
men, there are no more traitors in the Union
ranks. They are lighting you upon principle
OF right, and to maintain the true dignity Of
labor. and they mean, with the aid Of The pub
lie masses, to fight you to the bitter end. This
is a question in which are involved the self
respect. manly independence and true dignity
Of labor in every calling of life, and every
Workingman, true to himself, his family and
his friends, can only take one course-a firm
and united opposition to this infamous warfare
upon labor organizations
