TnE GREAr M1LroNIAN TABLEAUx AT rHI


close with this evenings exhibition.
TIE GREAT MILToNIAN TABLEAUx AT THE
ATHENEUM LAST EvENINd.-This Exhioi-
tion, which opened at the Atheneum last
evening, Is one of the finest things it has
ever been our lot to witness. 1t is got up
on'ascale Of magnifcence and splendor we
have never seen equalled. Commencing
with picture Of the gathering of the An
gels around the Almighty's throne to hear
new decree, it illustrates Millions immor-
tai poem of Paradise Lost from beginning
to end. The scenes representing heaven,
the war of the angels, and the casting out
of Heaven of Satan and his hosts, are per-
fectly sublime. The scenes representing
the creation are gotten up in style and
manner different from anything we
have ever seen. We would call atten-
tion to the beautiful sunrise upon
the young earth for the first time. The
moonrise and the creation of fowls, fishes
and the insects, and finally the creation of an
imals, and man, are all pictures worthy the
study of an artist. The next fifteen scenes
represent Satan's flight from Hell through
Chaos to this earth. They are Of Immense
power, and conveyto the mind an awful
and impressive idea Of the internal regions
below. The last section, which represents
the garden of Eden, and Adam and Eve,
"clothed in naked majesty divine" is be-
yond description the best thing we have
ever witnessed. In fact, the whole exhibit
tion is one of marked excellence, and should
be seen by all. We doubt whether the
Atheneum will hold all the people who
will endeavor to gain entrance this even
ing. Go early, If you wish for a seat

ON THE TAX QUESTION

The Mobile Register contains lengthy decision
rendered by Hon. VIM. G. Jones, Confederate
judge for the State Of Alabama, in the of the
Savings bank of Mobile against Henry Barnwell,
Confederate States tax collector.
The plaintiff brought his action at law to recover
of money it had been compelled to pay as
Confederate taxes for 1864 on State bonds, pur-
chased by it from the State of Alabama, and the
questions presented we're: Are State bonds taxed
by the act Of Congress, and if SO, is such taxation
constitutional?
The plaintiff also embraced in his suit claiu,
Tor money pad In issue as soldiers tax, levied
and collected under the act Of the 10th of June,
1864, and this branch of the cause turned on the
question whether the plaintiff was not entitled to
pay this tax in four per cent certificates issued to
plaintiff under the funding act of February, 1864,
and which certificates have been since held by
plaintiff. The tax collector compelled payment in
Confederate notes Of the issue, refusing four
per cent certificates. The case was in the nature
OF al agreed one by Government and plaintiff, and
the questions arose on separate State demurrers to
each count OF the complaint.
The case was argued for plaintiff by Robert III.
Smith, Esq, and p Phillips, Esq, and for the
Government by "A. J. Roquier, Esq, district attor-
ney, and the court decided:
lst. That Congress did not possess the constitu-
tlonal power to tax State bonds.
ID. That the tax acts Of Congress did not at
tempt to embrace State bonds as subject Of tax,
alton.
Sd. That soldiers tax was payable only in Con-
federate treasury notes of the issue, aud could
not be paid i'll four per cent certificates, and that
the act Of Congress in requiring the tax to be thus
paid did not violate the pledge given by Congress,
IN the funding act, that the four per cent bonds
should be received for all public dues payable in
1861. That this pledge only related to the taxes
then provided to be levied, and did not extend to
such as the necessities Of the Government might
require to be afterwards raised.

CONGRESS, the 18th, the House commit
tee appointed to investigate the conduct of the
Hon. f. S. Foote in attempting to pass our lines
into the enemy's country, made a report declaring
That Mr. Foote was absent from his seat in the
House without leave, but the public good would
not be subserved by compelling his attendance.
4 resolution was adopted declaring that Mr Foote
had no privileges as member Of the House, and
referring the whole matter to the President with a
statement of-the facts. The northern papers ar
nounce that Foote's wife has arrived in Washing
toa city. 1t is cowardiy and disgracefl to any
man to desert the country now. Every honorable
man, who has lived and co-operated with the
southern people in this war, feels bound to remain
and share the common fate, whatever it may be.
Certainly the yankees will entertain no respect for
man who sneaks off from US now.
Or the 17th the Senate passed bill increasing
the maximum rates of compensation allowed Rail
road corp panies for transporting the mails. 8. In
the House, Mr. Miles submitted ar resolution which
was adopted, fer the appointment of a joint COM
mittee to prepare an address to the people of the
Confederate States assuring them OF the unater-
able determination Of Congress To prosecute the
war, &c The death Of Hon Mr. Morgan, represen-
tative from Texas, was announced and appropriate
resolutions of respect adopted.

SEas~ The Rev. DIR. Hawks, we understand, d
resigned the rectorship of Christ Church, Baltimo

to the South has again caused his removal. II

EAST TENNESSEE.

The "dark and bloody ground Of f. Tennessee
after having for few days been evacuated by the
gallant Vaughn, is again to feel the shock of con-
tending hosts. Vaughn was at Carter's Station a
few days since, on his way down the country. The
Contederates appear determined that the foot Of
the Invader shall not rest in quiet upon the soil of
Upper East Tennessee. Vaughn fights, and when
pressed by numbers, falls back, "pcks his flint -
and comes agaip. If pluck will win, Vaughn is
Ul r:.0 game The Federal hold upon the up
per portion Of the State is preoarious and costs
them so much to keep up the semElance of
possession, that 1t seems strange they do not
abandon it altogether. Confederates scouts range
boldly over al the upper counties, and the Fed
erals, unless in heavy force, dare not show them
selves anywhere.
Stoneman, according to the Yankee papers, was
in Nashville a few days ago, having just returned
from his raid thro' East Tennessee and Southwest
eru Virginia. He boased that he had destroyed
the Saltworks and Lead Mines, and that he only
lost two thousand men! We happen to know that
the Lead Mines were being worked as usual two
days after his visit, and that the damage done the
Saltgorks could be repaired ia three or four Ueeks
This is the testimony of gentlemen who were on
the ground. And to infct this trfing damage,
he only lost t1co thousand men! lie does not ap-
pear to rate men very high.
At last accounts from Kirk, he was at N4DJort,
supposed to be on his way to Knoxville. About
a dSzen of Mullendore's scouts fought him at the
river as long as they could. The scouts have
worried Kirk great deal, hanging upon his Gauks
and rear, and ''peggiug away" at him at every op-
poctunty -ASheUWe NeCS.

CANADA AND THE UNITED STATEs.-Ihe
Canadians seem to be in great trouble about the
passport system which Seward has introduced os-
tens;bly TO prevent concpiratoTs, etc. from cross
ing the line aud burning the goodly towns of De
troit Buffalo, etc, Their journals grayely assert
that AIr Seward is behind the times-that the
passport system has been abandoned even by
France and Austria; and that, while in full opera
ton, it never prevented single conspirator from
crossing the lnc. They complain also Of the abroga-
ton of the Reciprocity Treaty great grievance,
calculated to fall with heavy force upon Canada,
and earnestly desire the British Government to in
terferc and get all things straight ifit be possible
to DO so by negotiation.
The Canadian journals must have far more in

ysnture entertain if they believe he is not aware
