II will be seen by these figures that independ-
ent of the anticipated increase in the revenue and
the excess of the receipts over and above the
interest on the public debt, the Treasury will bo
abundantly able to meet all demands on It's cot
fers, even if the expenses of the war are greater
during the next year than they were during the
year just ended. Including the excess Of re-
ceipts over the interest, the Treasury Depart
ment viii have in its vaults, when all the loans
authorized are negotiated, S736,OOO,OOO more
than has been spent in any one year since the
war commenced.
Protest Against the Mexican Loan.
A protest has been made by NJ. Jesus Escobar
Y. Armcndariz, late Secretary of the Mexican
Legation, now Agent of the Constitutional
Government in Europe, against the last Mexican
loan, in these words III, Jesus Escobar Y.
Armendariz, Agent of the Constitutional
Government Of Mexico, legally authorized, and
in virtue of the divers protests made by the Iegis
lative and Executive powers of the nation against
all the contracts, and in general against all the
acts Of the French intervention and the func-
tionaries emanating from It, protest anew that
the Mexican nation and its Constitutional Gov
admit the obligations which shall be contracted
by any other functionaries than those who hold
their authority from the Constitution.
al protest especially against the Mexican loan
which was decreed on the 10th of April last by
the Archduke Ferdinand Maximan of Austria
and against every species of obligation which shall
be contracted at the charge of the Mexican nation
by what person soever who shall not be authorized
by the Constitutional Government, whether these
obligations have for their object to create fresh
national debt or to augment the amount of
that which already exists or simply to introduce
modification of the English debt which the Gov.
ernment considers sacred, or any other debt
legally recognized. And although the protests of
the supreme power of the nation have obtained
in Europe all the publicity which was due to
them, l now renew them in the interest of the
public, and 10 affirm as much as possible the
rights OF the Mexican nation"
The Late General WadswOrth.
Captain Craig w. Wadsworth, son of General
James S. Wadsworth, arrived here this morning
from the Army of the Potomac, on short leave
to accompany his mother to Point Lookout to
obtain from Rebel prisoners there the particulars
of his fathers death.
Ihe Great InVastou-IIumbuR.
The Rebel raid into Maryland has been crti-
cally called circus-riding by high digntary
here, and was pleasantly laughed at by him.
Another official inquired of about the terrible
invasion, remarked, If the crowd was put ON
trial, they could not be convicted Of more than
respass with intent to commit horse-theft."
Case of Kentucky.
II is supposed here that the suspension of the
hn6eds corpus and the establishment Of martial
law in Kentucky is in anticipation of possible
trouble from the enforcement of the draft and
particularly the enlistment Of the slaves of the
more disloyal portions of the State.
Tho Income Tax.
It has been discovered that the passing of the
special income tax, authorized TO be levied dur
ing the last hours of Congress, is collectable
upon all incomes received during the year end
ing December 1868, thence tapping over into
1862. The exact language of the joint resolution
is that the tax shall be levied upon incomes for
the year ending December 81 preceding the
time when the tax is cOllectable, which time is
October, 1864, thus making the tax collectable
from December, 1862, to December, 1863 This
was not, II is we'll known, the intention of the
trainers Of the law, and it will be difficult to col
lect the tax from Government employees and
naval and army officers, who have paid their
regular five per cent, ever since the old law went
into effect but who will not be able to pay to the
Government the additional per cent, for the
simple reason that they will not have, in many
instances, any income now, being pensioners,
without employment, or without any fixed in
come. Government employees have had the
usual per cent. deducted from their salaries
heretofore, though the income tax is not collect
able from citizens generally until September 1864
Condition of Petersburg.
An officer from the front says that Petersburg
is now covered by over one hundred Of our guns
and that, were General Grant toigiye the orders,
its destruction would be the work Of but few
hours.
Internal Revenue.
Commissioner Lewis expresses the opinion
that the receipts from internal revenue for the
next fiscal year will reach the large figure Of
S3OO,OO,OOO.
Retaliation.

friends-eXposure to the fire of the Rebel bat
teries. The letter states that comfortable quar-
