snatOr BY Union Of wings and Free
Soil democrats, and has ever since held
that position. For some years he has been
Chairman Of the Finance COMMITTEES, which
is the most important by far in the Senate.
Mr.. Fssssnden is one Of the sblest men

courage, Of q clear head.
he has frequently expressed HE views
on Finance in the Senate and fsvors Wig

quently denounced all efforts not based
upon this foundation stone Of taxation
The country may therefore expect 10 hear
that Mr.. Fessenden has sent in q new

Secretary Chase leave $1,000 900 IS yet
unprSVidsd for in Ordsr to carry forward

Let not Congress hesitate to do its duty.
Heavy taxation is absolutely necessary to
our salvation. The people prefer it to any
system which runs up the prices Of ell ar

Mr.. Fessenden has always maintained q
high character for ability and integrity
We expect soon, however, to hear IRON the

Resignation of the Rebel Secretary of the


From the Richmond Examiner, June Isl
It gives US much pleasure to be enabled
to announce that Mr.. Meminger has GER
tsinly resigned. he will leave the Treas
ury Department in sad confusion-about
seventy millions due to the soldiers; no
bills to pay them with by reason Of the
banishment Of the force Of clerks in
short, G general null or muddle.
The difficulty which We are under and
presents itself now is to find suitsbls
successor. It would, indeed, be an incsl .
enlable blessing to the country il some
man Of ability and energy could be Induced
to undertake the administration Of that
most important department; but we sup
pose this is out Of the question. II is NO
desirable task in Itself to impose on any
ons--thst Of mending what Mr.. Memingsr
has spoiled, picking up his dropped stitch
90, washing his soiled linen /; and, besides,
they say that gentlemen Of independence
and pride Of character are somewhat shy
of accepting SsOretaryships in this gov
eFnment.
At all events we have got rid Of this
dreadful Secretary. Prices ought to fall
a. the news; aud q species Of confidence
begin to establish itself in our fnsn isI
condition because all men will feel that
we may have q better minister, ana osn
not have a worse.

An assault took place to-day along
portions Of our lines ct several presumed
weak places in the enemy's foftifcstions.
The armies had been confronting each
other for several days without serious
lighting, and without matsrisl change in
the lines. Kinessw mountain was the
apex Of Johnston's lines. His tanks be-
ing refused, his right wing bent back
until it ran but little east Of south. The
enemy held stubbornly to the position
kno9ing that to yield any commanding
peint would give US Marietta, and compel
his retreat south Of Chstshoochee. Both
armies we're in strong works, the opposite
salients being so near in some places that
skirmishsrs could not be thrown ont
The hour for the assault Was fixed at
eight o'clock this morning. Four brigsdes
Of General LOgsn's Corps, Newton's di-
vision Of the 4th corps, and Davis division
Of the l4th Corps, were selected to assault
the enemysentrenchmentsa at threedifferent
