tinental arrived from New Orleans on the
9Th, with Alexandria dates TO the 9th. She
reports that Banks and staff had gone up
the river, and were reported to be at Grand
Ecore.
All quiet at Alexandria, and ample pre-
caution taken against surprise by the enc
my. Heavy ironclads were dropped down
to Fort De Russy. There was still sufficient
water for gunboats and transports to cross
the falls.
Advices from Texas state that Gen. Dana
had resigned command of the troops at Pass
Carello, and at his own request was sue
ceeded by Gen. Warren.
Gen. Heron was sick at Brownsville.
A blockade runner, a schooner, tried to
run out of Pass Carello on the 22d. The
gunboat Espetta chased her, and the rebels
deserted her in boats. The vessel was
boarded and forty bales of Sea Island cotton
saved and she abandoned.

ONE of our Government officials Just re-
turned from Peru, tells us that among the
first and most frequent inquiries made of
him about our public men was, whether he
knew or had ever seen the celebrated
American Chemist, DR.. J.C. AVER, of Low
ell. His remedies are found in every viii
lage from the elevated slopes of the Andes
down to the coast, and their remarkable
cures seem to attract even more attention
there than in this country. The sentiment
of wonder at their effects, takes far deep
er hold on half civilized and superstitious
people than it does with us where the ra-
tionale OF medical problems Is so much
more generally understood No other
American has made himself so familiarity
known to the masses of the people in for
eign countries or excited in them SO lively
an interest in himself as the Doctor has by
his skillful application of chemical science
to the treatment of disease.
That must be dull man who does not
feel some pride of country when he finds
among distant nations that he is already
known and welcome there, through the la-
bors of our Statesmen. Merchants and
Scholars, whose renown has become nation
al property, and consequently in some meas
ure his own. Whether DR.. Ayers reme-
dies do actually cure more than others or
not, they have secured the reputation of be-
ing God-send to those afflicted with dis
ease, and where great numbers in any COM
munity believe that they owe their health
and lives to ones skill, they are sure to feel
an interest in him which will find express
sion when they meet his countrymen.-Na-

The New Internal Revenue Bill.

WASHINGTON, April 15.-The new Inter
nal Revenue bill is a revision of the act
now i'm force, and retains the same machin-
ery with such improvements as experience
has rendered necessary. 1t contains one
hundred and seventy-three sections, forty
seven of which are devoted to general pro-
visions. lt
There is one provision which exempts
from distraint the tools or implements of q
trade or profession, one COW, arms, provis-
ions, household furniture department for

Among the prominent features of the bill
are the following:
In addition to duties payable for license
there Is to be paid on all spirits distilled
and sold or removed for consumption or
sale, If first proof prior to the lst of July
next, duty of go cents per gallon; on and
after that date to the 1st of January, 1866,
one dollar; on and after January 1st, 1866,
one dollar and twenty-five cents.
Provided the duty on all spirits shall be
collected at no lower rate than the duty of
first proof, and shall be increased in pro-
portion for any greater strength than of
first proof. All distilled spirits and refined
coal oil, on which an excise duty is imposed
by law, may be removed without payment
of duty.
Provided these articles so removed snail
be transferred directly from the distillery
or refinery to q bonded warehouse. All

AN EXTRAORDINARY EvENT.-Our excel
lent Probate Judge, John M. Pugh, was
considerably astonished by circumstance
which took place in his office yesterday
Mr.. Samuel Neiswender, administrator of
the estate of Abram Wright deceased, set
tied his account with the Probate Judge,
and in doing SO paid over the sum of TWEEN
ty-nine dollars in gold and silver. This
sum Mr.. Neswender had collected for the
estate before the unlimited issue of shin
plasters and the consequent banishment OF
coin, and had scrupulously retained it to
make his final settlement on the estate for
which he received it.. At the current pre-
MUM on coin, this sum would realize a
larger profit, if sold now, than the money
could have earned by any investment. This
is the only " transaction in gold' that we
have heard of about town for some time.

concluded his very successful engagement
last night before crowded house. This
evening is fixed for the benefit of that cap

sents an excellent bill, and one which, in
addition to the fact of its being for the ben
eft of popular actor, will certainly attract
full house. We understand that Miss
Maggie Mitchell is engaged for next week,
and will close the season at the Atheneum.
She is a great favorite in Columbus--as she
is in every other city indeed-and will close
the most successful season our theater has
ever had inbrilliant triumph.

Vessels for the COnfederatcs.

NEW YORK, April 15.-The New York
Times Paris letter says no vessels built at
Bordeaux for the Confederates have been
launched. An English vessel is lying there
with her equipment. The builder has been
compelled by the French Government to
give his word that none of the vessels he is
constructing shall pass into Confederate
hands. The two ironclads will not be
ready for launching for three months, but
three other wooden vessels will soon follow
their consort into the water. The French
Government has enclosed the Rappahan-
mock in the dock at Calais and placed a
man-of-war in front of it.
