GoIdxEin Smith On Rebel Rrf&oners.a
Professor Goodwin Smith resumed his ad-
yocacy of our cause Immediately after his re-
turn home. In letter from Manchester to
the London Daily Nsws, ta thus exposes the
latest faleehood Of the friends Of the rebels
In England:
..To the editor Of the Daily News:
"s1R: Lord Wharnclit1e, in his letter pub
llshed In the 1in'ts Of yesterday, intimatcs,
on the faith of an American correspondent,
whose letter he does not produce IN toll, and
whose name he docs not give, that the Con-
fedcratc prisoners in the hands Of the Fcdcral
Government are suffering unusual priyations,
and that pile Of them has been seen lying
dead from want Of nourishing food. And lie
accuses ofr. Seward, in effect, Of excluding
the agent Of the Liverpool Southern Bazaar
Fund from the prisons, lest by his testimony
these crueltics should be brought to light.
s>1n tile course Of the tour in the United
States from which I hayc just returned, I
visited the prison at Camp Douglas, near
Chicago, and the Prisoners Hospital at Bal
timore. And beg leave ngaih to express the
conviction stated in my former letters, that
the inmates Of tho prison were not suffering
for want of nourishing food, or from any IN
usual priyation and that the inmates Of the
hnsnItal were treated with the utmost Iiber-
ality and Kindness. I have among my pa
ners. and hope to send you in the course Of d
day Or two, the dietary Of the hospital, from
Which it will appear that there il no dispo-
eitton, in that ease Ct Least, to withhold
suaiciency OF nourlshing 1000; - ..,
my firm belief that the sentiment Of the peo-
nc at the North is as strongly as possible in
kyor Of humane and generous treatment Of
thc prisoners, both as . matter Of duty and
an instrument Of ultimate reconciliation and
this, notwithstanding that they are convinced,
and In fact have the proof before their eyes,
that their own soldiers are treated with the
greatest barbarity in southern prisons.

We were invited round to the Provost Mar

who recently escaped from North Carolina,
with shout one hundred others, and made
. their way to General Burbridgc's lines, near
Saltyille, Va. lie came here to enlist, and on
being stripped for examination, his body pre-
Ecntcd spectacle which excited the horror,
pity, and Indignation Of the officers, and OF
I'LL who saw 1t. His arms aud legs were lit
orally knotted with scars from tue teeth Of
tloodhounds which had torn him when at-
temptinc to escape, while his body was
scanned with welts like whipcords, caused By
the oyer5eer's brutal lash. Such sight we
never eaw before, and it wonld have removed
all doubt, had any existed in our mind, Of
the truth Of the stories We had read Of South
ern barbarisrn and cruelty to The down-trod-
den slave. The man was about I'd years old,
but was under the minimum height for SOL
dicr, and therefore Was not enlisted, but the
Marshal hunanely furnished him some new
clothes to replace Ills tattered garments. and
gave him some good advice as to making .
wise usc Of his newly acquired liberty. By
forming industrious and temperate habits,
after which he went On his way rejoicing.

4 bill for the charter Of new Chicago Gas

Monday, and referred to the Committee on
Banks and Corporations. The corporatoss
are Manuel Tallcott, j. A. Tyrcll, H. II. Sin

ciates. The name OF the new company Is the
Metropolitan Gas Light and Coke Compa-

grants the usual authority to proceed to the
erection and maintenance Of the necessary
works for the manufacture Of gas and coke
within said city Of Chicago, and to sell gas

company Is to be $50o, 900, to be increased
from time to time ut the pleasure Of tue cor
poretion. The bill puts no limit to the price
which Tie company may charge fos gas. It
seems very fairly drawn, and asks for no pow

Our Internal Revenue System
ITS WORKINGS FOR THE FISCAL
YE6R ENDING JUNE so, 1854.
Comparative Statement Of Receipts
from all Sources.
ktHQunT OF REVENUE CDHTRlB-
UTED BY EACH STATE.

From tho Washington Republican, Jan. s3.]
L few advanced copies of the Report of the
Commissioner of Internal Revenue have been
iesued. It. Is document numbering 2o5
pages, closely filled with statistical mattcr,
showing the receipts Of revenue derived from
all sources from the LIST Of September, 1869,
to the 30th Of June, 1864. The amount OF
tax collected from Individual incomes, arti-
c1es Of manufacture and production, diri-
tions, salaries Of United States officers,
licenses for different occupations and places
of business, and various other sources are set
forth IN compact tables. The tables are SO
systematizad that the total amount Of tax
collected in each Congressional district il
shown at glance.
As will 10 seen by the extracts which no
copy below, the receipts for The fiscal year
ending June 80, 1864, are nearly three times
al great as those derived from the same
sources during the ten months ending June
80, 1868. THIGHS due to the corrections made
in the original law, aud also to the more thor
ouGh mode inauguratcd Of collecting tho rev.
cnue. Time soon displayed the deficiencies
Of the old law, and it Was superseded by tho
act which vent into effect July l, 1864.
The present act Is an excellent one, and Is
productive Of IN immense amount Of revenue,
yet there is great deal Of room for improve.
Ment, which is now engaging the attention
Of Congress-. The receipts from all sources
for the month Of January, 1865, received at
the Office Of Commissioner Lewis up to the
e0th inst, amounted to over S23,O00, ,Ooo, or
moro than million per day.
This proves conclusiycly that the rceeip:s
for the fiscal year which ends June 80, 1866,
will be more than twice as large as those of
the year preceding. There is great deal less
fraud practieed now than formerly, ns the de-
partment has thorough detective system,
which cannot fail to be Of great advantage to
the Government.
The publication ofthc income lists, although
1t has raised great deal Of indignation, is yet
approved Of by the mass Of all upright loyal
men, who do not desire to sec their Govern
mcnt, now in its day Of trouble, dcfraudcd OF
great sums Of money which are rishtfully due
to it. Il is a notorious fact that there ure
thousands of men who live in the most lu1u-
riant and costly manner, who return an in
come which will barely support small
family in . very moderate way Of living.
Such men do not like to hare their wicked
ness exposed, rs It surely is, by the publica-
tion Of these Lists. We hope the Government
will continue their publication until they are
forced to make honest returns.
