Visit Of Mrs, LinGOIn's Sister

"Perley" Of the Boston Journal gives the
following account of the visit of Mrs. Lincoln's
Southern sister:
MRS. Lincoln has some half sisters who have
never oeen particularly intimate with the
oI"lcn oI the family to which she belongs and
rII ~ sne Ieoelilon broke out they took sides
VIZ 'ne oou'n' one Them had sometimes
FiSi'eu 'neHi at springfield, and was consider

tie time since she appeared at the White
House on Saturday afternoon SON. ~ li toa
card, was received, and spent the Snnd l., Nc
As she was leaving on Monday she raToarl.o3
that Martha was at Baltimore and 1osirod
a pass to go South. How she cot to RaIti
more the President could not imagine hIl+
he said he would give her precisely such a
pass as he gave any one. About two weeks
subsequently this Martha appeared at the
White House and sent in her card. Mrs. Lin
coin responded that they could not receive
her. She then sent in word that she desired
the promised pass. The President wrote one
IN his usual way-precisely such a one as is
| gwen to any lady-and sent it out to her.
! and she drove away
The next day she again appeared, sent her
card to MIR. Lincoln, who returned word that
| she could not be admitted. She then sent in
note that the pass she had received was not
such one as she wanted-she wanted to take
some goods South. Mr. Lincoln turned over
her note and wrote upon the back that the
pass was precisely such as he gave to others,
and she could have nothing different The
next day she appeared in his reception room
with Others, waiting to see the President, but
finding 1t out, Mr.. Lincoln told his messenger
not to admit her. The next day she appeared
again, the same directions were given, and
she did not get an audience
The next day she came with a Kentucky
member OF Congress, who told the President
that she was in waiting; thought it hard tina:
she could not see him, &c. He intimated to
the NJ. {. that if she did not avail herself OF
the pass without delay, she would find it re.
voked. The next day she again appeared
with another Member of Congress, but the
President still refused to see her, and told
the Congressman that he had heard of heI
talk where she was stopping, and that if she
continued it or stayed around here, she
would find herself in the Old Capitol in les,
than twenty-four hours. She departed, anC
the President heard nothing more from he
until the newspaper stories appeared.

Army Corps, in the field. May 18th, says:
Nv dispatch, Yesterday afternoon, left the
army in the midst of a terrible battle, as ter
rible, for the time it lasted, as any in the re-
cent series of fights. Heretofore the contests
have been invariably musketry, but IN this
battle the roll of artillery fire was incessant
and almost as deafening as at Gettysburg
The battle continued till night and dark

disposition of our lines. Mean time our men

Four columns of our men repulsed each charge
At length the 9Th corps drove the enemy
compelling him to fall back into his third lin'

apparent. The rebel dead at points lay piie(
up in heaps.

From the N. Y. Independent
WHAT THE BIRDS SAID
By JOHN G. WHITTIER.

Tho birds. against the April wind,
Flew mort Inward, singing as they ne"
They sang: :. The land We leave behind
Has swords for corn blades, blood for dew
q wild-birds, flying from the South,
What saw and heard ye, gazing down 20
eve saw the mortar's upturned mouth.
The sickened camp, the blazing town
Reneath the bivouaes starry lamps,
We saw your march-worn children die;
In shrouds of moss, in cypress swamps,
We saw your dead uncofined lie.
q We heard the starving prisoners sighg;
And saw, from line and trench, your sons
Follow our flight with homesick eyes,
Beyond the battery's smoking guns
"And heard and saw ye only wrong
And pain" l cried, go wing-worn tiocks ~
We heard'' they sang, 'sthe Freedman song,
The crash of SIavery's broken locks
We saw from new, uprising states
The Treason making mischief spurned
AS crowding Freedoms ample gates,
The long -estranged and lost returned.
ssO'er dusky faces, scanned and old,
And hands horn-hard with unpaid toll,
With hope in every rustling fold,
We saw star-dropt flag uncoil.
And, struggling up through sounds accused,
grateful murmur clomb the air,
whisper scarcely heard at first,
It filed the listening Heavens with prayer.
q And sweet and far as from star,
Replied a voice which shall not cease,
Till, drowning all the noise but war,
1t sings the blessed songs Of peace "
So to me in a doubtful day
Of chill and slowly greening spring,
Low STOPPING from the cloudy gray,
The wild birds sang or seemed to sing.
They vanished in the misty air,
The song went with them in their flight;
But 10 they left the sunset fair,
And in the evening there was light.

INSTRUMENTATION and British,

During the fiscal year ending June 80,
| 1868, the total revenue of the United States
| Government from taxes was Sill 1899, 766,48
and the actual expenditure was STA, 709,-
995 So, so that in the midst of great war,
nearly six-sevenths of the national expendi,
ture was raised by borrowing This state of
things contrasts very unfavorably with the
English financial system; and the fact can
not too often brought to the attention Of Con:
gress. Even at the present day, when Great
| Britain is at peace with all the world, her
revenue from taxes is more than three times
| greater than ours. Mr.. Gladstone, the Chan
cellor of the Exchequer, on the 7th instant,
| informed the Commons that the British reve-
nue. for the past year was, e7O, 2O8, 900 equal
| to S35O,OOO,00O in gold, or to more than
| S6OO,OOO,OOO IN our paper money. This is
for the support of the English peace estab-
!lshment. 1t merely pays current expenses,
including the interest on the national debt
and leaves but million or two to be added
to the sinking fund. In the early part of this
century, during the war with Napoleon, the
war taxes amounted to about half the ordiD-
airy revenue; and in the event of another
great war the Parliment would add to the
taxes now imposed at least one-third more, if
necessary, so that the revenue of Great
Britain from taxes, would amount to about
nine hundred millions of our paper money
We are aware that England is very rich
country; but it is, at the same time, very
small The whole British Islands, including
Ireland, contain an area of only one hundred
and twenty thousand square miles, or less
than New York, Pennsylvania and Ohio.
And of this small territory, only England is
really any Importance as it regards taxes.
Ireland and Scotland are poor countries, and
the taxes derivable from them amount to less
than tenth of the English revenue The
colonies and foreign possessions constitute
burthen rather than source Of revenue; SO
that the great bulk of the British revenue
comes out Of England, a country not equal
in extent in territorial extent to New York
and Massachusetts,, and containing less than
twenty millions Of inhabitants The United
States contains, within the present military
lines, not less than twenty-five millions of In
habitants, and an area of fertile land, not
counting the wild territories, some twenty
tive or thirty times as great as England. We
belye that our loyal population produce as
much and consume az much as the population |
OF England, and that they can pay as much |
revenue into the treasury. Ali that Is nee !
essary is a wise and thorough system of in
ternal revenue laws.

NEW STYLE OF TURRETs FOR GUNBoATs.-A
Mr. JAMES B. EADs has invented new form
of turrets for gunboats. The popularity of
this invention is that the sheets of iron are
firmly fastened together by screws that are
screwed on from the outside, instead of nv 3
nut on the inside. The new turret, and the
immense eleven-inch Dahlgren guns which
are worked in it, are all moved by steam. Bv
the machinery the turret can be lifted or
lowered, the guns raised, showed out, drawn
in, and gagged, all by steam. The guns of
the ship are handled with greater ease than
could eighteen men handle one guns upon the
old plan The platform on which the guns
are placed is lowered entirely below the wa
err to load and this process, or to turn the
turret or elevate or depress the guns to any
range. is but the work of a moment. By this
invention, it is possible to so elevate or de-
press the turret that the guns can fire up to
the top of bluff, or horizontally, as desired.
This is a vital defect of the Ericsson turret.
They can fire at point-blank range, but the
guns cannot be lifted or depressed sufficiently
to make them effective for Smelling or work
ing against a battery placed upon rivers
bluff.

MOVEMENTS OF PoPULATIoN.-There have
population in this country during the last
three years, or since the war began. There
has been a large emigration of Southern I'm
ion people into the States of the North.
There has been large-partially free, par
TALLY forced-rebel emigration to the Con-
federacy from those parts of the Southern
States brought within our lines. There has
been very large civic emigration from the
Northern States to the recaptured cities of
the South, as New Orleans, Vicksburg Mem
phis, Nashville, and so forth. There has been
a very considerable emigration of detected
rebels from the Western Border Slave States
to the gold-bearing Territories of the Rocky
Mountains. There has been large emigra-
ton from the United States to Canada. con
sisting of deserters from our army, timid PEG.
pie, nervous people and bilious people, ac,
companied by not few wretched rebels: and
there has been a counter current, larger than
usual, of Canadians to this country These
currents of internal migration are, in their
character unlike anything that has ever taken
place here before.
If Lieut.-Gen. GRANT destroys the army OF
LEE, and brushes the rebellion in a reasona
bic time, there will within the next few years
be far larger movements of population in this
country than any yet seem In particular
| there will be an immense emiuratiOn from the
northern States southwark.

BRIGADIER- GENERAL JAMES S. WADswoRTH
Charlottesville, was born at Genesee, New
York, Oct. 3Oth, 1907. He was educated at
Harvard and Yale, studied law, completing
his course in the Office of DANIEL WEBSTER.
In 1861, he rendered his services to the gov
ernment served on MCDowELL's staff at Bull
Run, and was made Brigadier General of
Volunteers in August Of that year. He par
ticipated in the disastrous battle Of Freder-
icksburg, and won the respect and confidence
of his troops by his patriotic spirit and his
daring personal courage. 1t was understood
that he would ask no man to go where he
feared to lead the way.
Gen. WADSWORTH was ore of the wealthiest
men in the country. He inherited large
fortune, and had greatly added to it. 1t is
stated that he could travel from Geneseo to
Rochester, a distance of thirty miles, with
out going off his own land. A Democrat in
politics, since the breaking out of the war he
has devoted all his thoughts and energies to
the maintenance of the country.
In 1862, Gen. ,WADswoRTH was the Union
candidate for Governor of New York, against
HoRATIo SEYMOUR. He had a large majority
in the State outside the city, but Gov. SET-
MoUR's " friends in that locality succeeded
in beating him. By his death the country
has lost one of its most patriotic supporters,
and another name is added to the list of
martyrs to the cause of the Union and free
Government
