TAX ON MATCHES. The Government
collects on every three and a half dollars
worth of friction matches, about fourteen
and a half dollars in stamps. In other
words, the tax is about four times as much
as the article is worth.-Erchange.
The tax referred to is disgrace to the
common sense of Congress. The tax is so
enormous that it costs less to import
matches than it does to make them. The
same is true of cigars. The result is that
our workshops are being closed for the
benefit of those of Canada and England

FaiIare Of the Attack on Wilmington.
We have already printed the substance

We have already printed the substance
of Admiral PoRrKRs official dispatch,
which gave the details of the operations
of the Naval forces against Fort Fisher.
They are, in brief, that it was proposed to
paralyze the garrison by an explosion
which consisted in blowing up 215 tons of
powder under the walls of the rebel fort.
1t was great as spectacle, but perfectly
useless in fact, and the rebel garrison was
not at all Daralyzed. The bombardment
of the fort by the feet was of the most i'm
posing, skillful, and courageous character !;
but the estimate of PORTER and that of
BUTLER differ greatly as to its effects.
Then came the extraordinary bursting of
no less than six 10O-pounder Parrot guns,
on six different vessels, accompanied by
painful casualties, and by the loss of conf.
dence. But, more important than ali,
there seems to have been no proper co-op-
Grafton between the land force and the
navy. As an evidence of this we print the
following correspondence between General
BUTLER and Admiral PORTER: .-..
GIN. BUTLER TO ADMIRAL PORTER.
HEADo'Rs DErT. OF VIRGINIA AND NokrHl
CAROLINA, Dec. 25, 1864.
ADMIRAL: Upon la ling the troops, and
making thorough reconnaissance of Fort
Fisher, both Gen. Weitzel and myself are full
ly of the opinion that the place could not be
carried by assault, as it was left substantially
unipjured as defensive work by the navy fire.
We found seventeen guns protected by trav-
erses, two only of which were dismounted.

Having captured Flag Pond Battery the gar
rison of which (sixty.five men and two com.
missioned officers) were taken off by the navy,
we also captured Half Moon Battery and seven
officers and two hundred and eight men of the

ton of Hoke's division. consisting of Kirk
lands and Hapgood's brigades, had been sent
from the lines before Richmond on Tuesday
last, arriving at Wilmington Friday night.
Gen. Weitzel advanced his skirmish line
within fifty yards of the fort, while the garri-
son was kept in their bomb-proofs by the fire
of the navy, and so closely that three or four
of the men of the picket line ventured upon
the parapet and through the sally port of the
works, capturing horse, which they brought
off, killing the orderly, who was the bearer of
q dispatch from the chief of artillery of Gen.
Whiting to bring . light battery within the
fort and also brought away from the parapet
the flag of the fort. This was done while the
shells from the navy were, falling about the

am alternating at Schuylerville in
cold Saratoga" In the midst of Revo-
lutionary echoes it. is painful to hear the
sullen thunders of fraternal war. 1t is
painful to reflect upon the present: to in-
quire of the future and anticipate the day
when the stately figures of Washington
and Schuyler will be hidden by the big
proximity OF cross-eyed Buffers, the puta-
tive hero of this unnatural war.
The people here are just subsiding from
the eostacy produced by the filibustering
order Of Gen. Dix. "Violent fires soon
burn out" The dignifed promptness and
prudence of the President in summarily
revoking.this hasty and fool-hardy declara-
ton of war is not sufficiently acknowledg-
ed by the press and public. The braggaft
vaunt of power. the "rDg" of audacity
implied in the order better accorded with
the vainglorious morals of the popular
mind. It is well known principle of
public law that belligerent may chase
and capture an enemy "tsken in the act u
upon neutral territory when the neutral
lacks the power or processes unwillingness
to surrender the fugitive. The authori-
ties cited heartily in support of Dixs man
ifesto 20 this far and no farther. Not one
of the justifying facts are present here. 1t
is not even certain that the marauders
were not acting "upon private account. +"
The very fact that Judge Ooursal issued
his warrant and the offending parties were
actually brought before o judicial tribunal
denies the premises necessarily predicated
for the order. 1t matters not that opin-
ions differ as to the soundness of the decis-
ion which permitted them to go free. The
tendency OF the times, especially in this
country to appeal from courts to the mob
is kfearfully rife and bodies awfully OF
anarchy to which We are drifting.
Great Britain possesses both the will and
mower to surrender the fugitives. That
mower is too great to be unjust. 1t dares
not provoke a war with the United
States without the alliance of France, and
Macmillan sits too uneasily upon his vica-
r;ous throne to permit the sagacious mon
arch who controls Europe an encounter
which would at once topple to the ground
"Pagod thing of sceptre sway,
with 'front.' of brass and feet of clay"
When the Administration ventures go
far out Of it's precedents as to adapt the

Very Sorry.

We regret the appearance in Wednesdays

Brigadier General JOHN B. SANBoRN has

7. Thomas, of the Eighth Regiment, Brig
adler General by brevetT There are other
officers of Minnesota regiments who are
eminently deserving the compliment of add
vance ed rank, for ability and faithful SER
vice, among whom we may mention par
ticularly Col. BISHOP, of the Second Regi-
ment, and Col. TouRrE1LorrE, of the
Fourth These officers have commanded
brigades, have participated in many, bat
ties, and have been, highly complmented
by their superiors. For the gallant de-
fence of Allatoona last year, Col. TOUR
TELLoTTE, who was severely wounded, re-
ceived special order of thanks from Gen.
SHERMAN. We trust our Congressional
delegation will see that these meritorious
officers are not forgotten in the distribu-

English Policy.

In the English Parliament, on the 9th,
the reading of the Queens message was
succeeded by very interesting and ami
mated debate on American affairs, between
the Ministry and their supporters and the
opposition, which showed material
change of opinion on the part of British
statesmen regarding our war and the posi-
ton of the United States Government
Earl Russell admitted that we had just
cause for complaint against England, both
in regard to fitting out rebel pirates and
tolerating raiders in Canada, and thought
it was not unnatural our Government
should take steps for increasing its naval
force on the Northern lakes. Othermem-
bers expressed the same opinion. .as
