New YORK, April l2.-The Herald
correspondent at Doaterville, April 7th,

Lees army were immense in men and
material. For miles the roads were
strewn with wagons, artillery and am-
munition, showing with what tenaclty
the pursuit was pressed
Sheridan made the largest part of the
captures, but the infantry are entitled an
equal share of credit Our loss in the
pursuit was not large Gen. Mott was
wounded in the leg but is doing we'll. 90.
Capt. Thomas, of the lst Pennsylvani
cavalry, captured four battle flags, had
four horses shot under him, and finally
lost leg. The rebels are greatly sur.
prised ct the rapidity of our movements.
Grant, speaking of our successes on
the 9th, said Sheridan told me he was
coming up to help me take Richmond,
but" he added. 1--WE will capture Lees
army, march down and gobble up John
ston, and shake hands with Sherman
over the line"
The Herald's City Point correspondent
dating April 9th, says it is reported that
the President last night received com
munication Oh the subject of peace,
which came from without our lines
City Point is still the base of supplies

Income Of Farmers.

The following letter, from the Deputy
Commissioner of Internal Revenue, may
be of interest 10 many farmers aud plan
ters of this State;
TREASURY DEPT, OFFICE INTER
NAL REvENIrE, WARRINGTON,
March II, 1865.
Sy-Your letter of March 9th in re-
uard to farmers income returns IS re-
ceived
Ireply that the act of July 4, 1862,
under which returns were made tor the
annual income taxes of 1862 aud 1865,
required farmers to return each year the
entire crop harvested.
But the act of June 80, 1864 now i'll
force, under which the returns for thespe-
cial income tax of 1868 Were made re-
quires farmers to return each year the
amount of poduce sold.
It will be found that farmers income
returns for 1864 will include some por
ton of the crop of 1868, and which was
taxed US iacome for that year. There IS
an apparent injustice in subjecting the
same income tax i'll two different years,
the year when raised and the year when
sold; but q consideration OF the question
will show that it is only an apparent
One
For, suppose the income of q fal mer to
be the same every year, aud the rate OF
tax the same, it is plain that the amount
of tax should be also the same. Now, the
farmer does not sell the whole crop of
each year rithin that year-and If he Is
taxed IN 1864 on such produce only as he
raised and sold within that year, it is
clear that he will not pay the full tax
due on his real income.
Suppose the yearly crop to be the same,
the farmer will in the last year OF the
tax raise certain amount of produce on
which he will pay no tax, because unsold,
and such produce will, on an acreage. be a
fair offset against the produced raised in
1863, but sold in 1864, and which, conse-
quently pays two taxes. /.
It is true that in particular cases hard
ships will arise from the fact that the
practice of farmers is not uniform i'll re-
gard to selling or storing produce, and
in other cases farmers will escape their
Just share of tax for the same reason
But the same occasional inequality
will occur under any general provision
Of law, and cannot be avoided.
The entire amount, therefore, OF pro-
duce sold in 1864, must be returned as in
come by farmers, without regard to any
taxes previously paid on any such pro-
duee.
Very respectfully, f. A. ROLLINS,
Deputy Commissioner.

Curious Scene.

A Nevada paper describes a curious
scene in a theatre in Virginia City in
February, W here the performances OF two
actresses were so well liked. that the
audience ratified down upon the stage a
shower of gold and silver pieces. The
actresses picked mp one hundred and
forty seven dollars from the boards
Even the male performers were not slight
ed. They picked up halves and quarters
to the amount of from three to five dol
lars each TO say nothing of the jack
knives, pockct-combs, and tooth-picks.-
The young ladies were so often forced to
return to gather the showers that they
appeared several times OF the point OF
giving it up. One of them, having fin.
ished gathering a bOnntiful harvest of
halves, was making hasty retreat from
the stage, when there suddenly fell abont
her such glittering and overwhelming
shower of silver, that in despair she sat
down and covered her face with her
hands. The pockets of another gave
out. and torrent of silver rolled about
the floor in every direction. All this
was, of course, fun for the audience,
though the young ladies found it quite
as profitable as funny
