Tax en- sales.

Congress is new discussing bill to
levy a tax sf enc per cert. en- all sales.
The bill will doubtless become law, as
it is dislsyal to oppose any appropriation
Of msnsy, or any measure fer increasing
taxes. ~
This law will operate strongly against
the poor. If an article be sold six times
IN a week it will be taxed six times in
week. The, rich will buy in large quan-
titles from large dsalers, but one remove
fren the manufacturer or inpsrter; the
peor must buy in small quantities from
small dealers, after the articles have been
,old from three to ten times, and, of course
alter every sale the price must be In
creased.
Tho rich nan will buy his sack Of coffee
from the importer, and pay tax for QUO
sale; the posr man will buy his pound o.
coffee from a retailer after four or live
taxes, and the profits on the taxes, haye
been paid.

DESPERATE NATURE OF THE
BATTLE AT GRAHAMSVILLE

The accounts Of this battle that have
reached me represent it to have been eoa
tested with fierce pertinacity on both sides,
and to have been attended with heavy loss
en- ours. Gen. Foster attacked with the
intention and full expectation of carry
ing the position; and he had an abundance
of wsll-ssrved artillery. But the great
strength OF the Confederate works, the
admirable position which they occupied,
and the CALLING fire which was poured
from them bafled the attempt, General
Foster was net satisfied with enc charge.
After that had been repzlsed he ordered
tive others, and they were beth led, as
indeed the first had beea, bJ his gallant
officers in person. Ths troops knew that
they were fighting under Gen. Foster
eye, and they went forward with aiacrity
and with hearty cheers, each time.
But the result of every charge was the
same. Our nen were mowa down by IA
most nurderous fire Of grape, shot and
shell; asd after the third rcpulse Gen.
Foster became satisfied that it was i'm pos
sibls to carry the position, and reluctantly
ordered a retreat. The account says that
our dead, aud nany of our wounded, were
left in the hands OF the Cenfederates.

MIR. LINCoLN's CHARACTER AS
- VIEWED ABROAD. {,


The London Herald. the organ Of Lsrd
Darby and the Euglish powers, ia speak
ing oil The Americanelection, says:
MIR. Lincoln did not owe his re-appeint-
ment as Repuslican candidate to any be-
lief In his personal merit, but to acci-
dental circumstances, which had made 1T
evident that any other candidate would
divide the party and insure the suece.s
Of the Democrats He owes his re-elec-
tisn to the strength of his party and to
hi. swn lamless abuse OF executive power,
not to the belief of the people that ne
better man could have been chosen, or
that he deserves the distinction OF a sec
end term of sfice His predecessor were
geatlemen; men Of some experience eth
er in military, diplomatic, sr political
life; men at least of average Intelligence
and OF unquestioned personal integrity;
yet they were thought, and rish htly
thought, net to have meritsd re-eisctien.
Mr.. Lincoln is a vulgar, brutal boor;
wholly ignorant OF political science, OF
military affairs, of every thing else which
a statesman should know. He has not
|csnnived at peculatisR; buthe has 1lsw-
ed the pubic to be robbed to an indsinitc
extent by his ministers, he has shielded
them iro:A punishment, continued them in
Office, and in ths only case in which the
scandal was too bad to be hashed up at

Battle Near Savannah,

Washington special has an account OF a
