amendment to the internal revenue bill re-
quiring dealers in gold to take out thou
sand dollar license and proposing to tax
each sale and purchase of gold for specu-
lating purposes ten per centum, although
agreed to in committee of the Whole, is not
considered fair test as there was scarcely

be taken by the House on concurring in it,

GEN. Harris Moving on Charleston

New YORK, Feb. 1.-THE Times James
Island correspondence of the 11th says the
forces under Brig. Gen. Harris are bivou-
acked on the Charleston and Savannah rail-
road at the point where it crosses the Cam
bahee river. They are steadily moving for
ward toward Charleston, the enemy in the
meantime reluctantly retiring in the same
direction.

says the rebel position in front of Whining

with him, when he assumed command, a
large force of veterans, and at once set at
work.

6. TIE OPERA HoUsE-BENEFIT OF Miss
a, BUcHANAN.-The Opera House last night
was filled with the largest audience that has
yet gathered within its walls since the
night on which it was first opened to the
public, perhaps even surprising that. The
tragedy in all its vivid and startling scenes,
G. was well put upon the stage, and the gen
eral personification of all the different
characters, was good. Mr.. Buchanan rep
resented the ambitious, but vacillating
Macbeth to the life. Miss Virginia Buch-
: anan's Lady Macbeth, in her stern determi-
nation to execute her will, and her equally
deep remorse that ensued, approached very
fe near the conception of the great poet whose
genius drew the character. i'3 s1ia .4 '... q,
The tragic scenes in Macbeth were hap
PLY relieved by the farce, in which Lewis
as-Jem Bags set every body In the best pos
sible good humor.
Miss Buchanan takes benefit tonight.
A spendid bill is presented. First, we have
r. B., Sheridan's Pizarro, in which Mr..
Buchanan plays Rolla, and Miss Buchanan
Elvira. Then comes the fine drama of Rob
Roy-Rob Roy by Mr.. Buchanan, and Helen
McGregor by Miss BuchananS This being
announced as the last night Of. the engage
ment of the Buchanans, the Opera House
will doubtless be again filled to Its full ca
SSpacity.

CIRcLEvILLE, Feb. l6th, 1865.

SlhCLhNlLLE, CtU. luIll, lOOO.
The Warm Air Furnace invented and
manufactured by Mr.. Peter Martin, of Gin
cinnati, was put into the Union school
building of this city in November last, and
thus far 1t has given entire satisfaction. 1t
surpasses other furnaces in the following
important particulars: 1t has, compare
lively, greater heating surface; produces
a larger volume of heat with given amount
of fuel; the condition of the air In respect
to temperature, moisture and purity, is SUI
perior; the admission of cold air, the sup
ply of warm air for the several rooms, and
the fires, are more easily regulated. 70
To avoid scorching and decomposing the
air, as is done, to some extent, by other hot
air furnaces, and to secure to each room an
abundant supply Of pure, fresh air, warmed
to pleasant temperature, as well as to pro-
tect the wrought-iron air-fues from
the effects Of the fire, it is essential that
the warm air-fues leading to the school
rooms, should be at least .. twelve
inches in diameter. This will insure the
influx of such large and rapid current of
fresh all. as to prevent the wrought-iron
flues from being overheated, and thus secure
the durability of the furnace, and keep the
warm air in healthful condition. 1t is
deemed proper to State in this connection,
that our Board of Education was induced
to order Mr.. Martins Furnace, because two
other furnaces had been previously used in
our school edifce without satisfactory re-
suits, and because, after careful examina-
ton of large number OF furnaces and
other modes of warming school houses and
other public editices, not only In Western,
but also In Eastern cities, Mr.. Martins was
believed to be decidedlYAh Ahe best.

Sherman Within Two Miles of
Charleston.

New YORK, Feb. H.-Advices from Gen.
Sherman say his left wing was~ Oh Monday
II miles north Of Branchville and within
80 miles of Columbia, the capital, while his
right was in front of the city of Charleston,
only two miles distant, and threatening it,
dicated by the Richmond papers that his
cavalry had reached the Northeastern rail-
road, and thus severed the last remaining
link between Charleston and the rebel CAPT
tai. His troopers were believed to be also
in the vicinity of Florence, the important
point OF conveyance of the railroads COM
mnnicating between South Carolina, Geor-
gia North Carolina and Virginia, and near
which town were recently confined large
number of captured Union soldiers. Rebel
papers admit that there was nothing to stop
Sherman's army, and expect the National
flag will soon be floating over Charleston,
Augusta, Columbia and Raleigh.

THE CONCERT.
The Knabe Grand Piano - The Or
" phan's Home Contribution y
Concert.

The following is copied from The Nesc
York Times of February 9th:
KNABE's GRAND PIANOS AT IRVING HALL.
-Mr.J. Davenport Kerrison gave his first
Concert at Irving Hall, On Saturday even
ing last. He was assisted by several emf
nent artists, and played brilliantly. One
of the chief points of attraction at this Con-
cert was the first appearance of the new
Grand pianofortes of VIM. Knabe g. Co.
Hitherto the pianos of Chickering g. Sons
and Steinway G. Sons have monopolized our
Concert Halls, for the reason that there
were no others that could compete with
them. Knabe & Co. have manufactured
Grand pianos for years, upon which all the
great artists have played-but the manu-
factory being in BALTIMORE, none of them,
until last week, have been heard in New
York. Now, however, that there Is a depot
for the Knabe pianos in New York, these
instruments are becoming known. The
Grands exhibited at this Concert are mag
niticent instruments. They are elegant In
form and are got up In superb MATERIAL
The tone is large, rich in quality, and of
that peculiar sound which ,penetrates and
makes itself felt in every corner of that
large hall. The instruments "sang" beauti-
fully, and the clear, bright, LIQUID tones,
NSiO olO phChC VI SCuCIdl duullIdJlOiIs
These pianos have now achieved a reputa-
tion, which will secure their adoption in
most of our first class concerts.
Since we have seen and heard the Knabe
Grand now on exhibition at the store of
Seltzer, Dresel G. Co., we can fully appre-
ciate and heartily indorse the foregoing ar
ticle of The Times.
The drawing for the Knabe Grand and
nearly one hundred other valuable articles
is to take place at the Orphans Home Con-
tribution Concert next Monday evening,
which, undoubtedly, will be a complete
success. The benevolent object of the Con-
cert, the rare musical entertainment, the
chance to draw splendid prize, cannot
fail to attract crowd to the Opera House
on the occasion.

The question was stated to be on the fol-
lowing amendment by Mr.. Boutwell,: Gan
persons licensed under the provisions of this
act, or the act to which it is an amendment
and who are engaged in sales of goods,
wares and merchandise, or articles procur-
ed or manufactured, whether foreign or do
mestic. shall, within ten days and after the
first of every month, make return, under
oath, of he.amoant of goods sold during
the month preceding, and shall'pay thereon
tax of one-half of one per centum; and all
such persons, in the collection of the tax
imposed by this section, shall be subject to
the provisions and assessment of the tax
on manufactures mentioned in the SSth Sec
tion, to which this Is an amendment, SO far
as may be applicable" ~
This amendment was agreed to by 5S to Sc.
The House refused to strike out section
of the bill, proposing an additional tax on
articles mentioned in the 9th section of the
existing law, and which includes ready
made cloth and all knitted or felt fabrics of
cotton, leather, copper, iron, furniture,
soaps, pickles, umbrellas or parasols Clues
and gelatine, starch, gunpowder, sugars,
turpentlne and many other articles.
MIR. Hooper again offered his amendment,
the average amount of deposits one tenth of
one per cent and average monthly circu-
lation one-fourth of one per cent. afterJuly
lst, 1865. Amendment rejected by two
majority. 3i
Mr.. Wilson offered an amendment, that
National andState banks and banking cor
porations, shall pay a tax of one per cent.
on the amount paid out by they after the
LIST of January. Agreed to.
Mr.. lngersol moved that IL cents instead
of cents a gallon, as proposed by the
committee on Ways and Means, on crude
petroleum, and after further proceedings
the duty was left as originally reported, viz:
six cents per gallon.
Mr.. Stevens offered new section, reouir-
ing every bullion broker to take out
licence and pay $1,000 therefor, where oper-
ating at the brokers' board or elsewhere.
Whoever shall thus deal without lisence,
shall be deemed guilty of misdemeanor
and be subject to apenalty of $4,000. Who
ever buys and sells gold bullion or coin
above the market value for purposes of
speculation, shall be deemed a bullion
broker. All sales of gold, excepting for
expectation and to pay duty on imports and
interest on the public debt, are to be taxed
10 per cent. on each purchase and sale. The
amendment was adopted by vote of 81 to
43.
The committee then rose. The previous
question was ordered on concurring Oh the
various amendments of the committee of
the Whole, and the House adjourned.

A New Rebel Pirate-Business at
Nassau.

New YORK, Feb. 1.-THE Herald's Wasli-
ington special says: Our Consul at London
has informed the Government of the sailing
from Kingstown, Ireland, of the steamer
Ajax which, it is not doubted, is intended
for rebel pirate. Her armament had gone,
or would go out in a sailing vessel. Not
withstandlng the fact that she is small, it is
believed that she will be able to do much
damage to American shipping if she gets
started on her meditated career. 1t is
thought she would go to Nassau before
taking on board her guns.
The closing of the port of Wilmington
has been sad blow to Nassau. All is stag
nation there. According to the Herald's cor
respondence there were there about thirty
steamers and one hundred.sail, recently en-
gagged in contraband trade and warehouses
were filled with goods. The pirate Talla-
hassee, now called the Chameleon, was there
the first of the month, and the attention of
the Governor called to the fact by our Con-
sui. Our gunboat Honduras arrived on the
3lst ult, and asked permission to anchor in
the harbor, but was refused.

Passports Required for Persons
Going TO Mexico.

SAN Francisco, Feb. 14.-Gen. Mcdowell
to Mexico to obtain permits of the Provost
Marshal. No citizen of the United States
will receive permit without evidence of
his peaceful intentions; doubtful cases must
take the oath Of allegiance; aliens must pro-
duce satisfactory certificates of their uatur-
alization. The object of the order is to i'm
pede the increase of bands of persons
inimical to the United States reported now
assembling in Sonora, with hostile inten-
tions towards the frontier population and
military posts of the United States.
Shipments of treasure from this port last
year were nearly $56000,000 the largest
ever made in like time. OF this $5,000,0O0
was on Government account.

Fair for 60 ST.. Francis Hospital of
laL Startling Medical COlIege.,,


1t is well known to the citizens of Column
bus, that the late LYME STARTLING, ESQ.,, left
a sum of money to establish Medical Col
lege, and Charity Hospital i'm connection
herewith, and that large and commo-
dious building, which is an ornament to our
city, has been erected. The Medical de-
partment thereof has been in successful op-
Grafton for some years, bringing annually
to Columbus large class of students, and
by this means, disbursing many thousands
ofdollars in the city. Thus, in a pecuniary
view alone, it deserves and should receive
the fostering care and liberal support of the
citizens. But the Trustees are about to add
to the just claims which the College has
upon the public for generous co-opera-
ton, by establishing the "ST. FRANCIS Hos
PITAL Of Starting Medical College"-an in
stitution which will greatly inure to the
benefit of our community, tor it will be a
Public Charity! where the poor will always
have preference, and where all are to be re-
ceived without question as to sect, age, sex,
color, or worldly condition; and to be nursed
and treated medically and surgically, aotth-
out money and ,1tthoW price, save and except
such rs may be voluntarily offered. The
trustees are only recently enabled to carry
out this benevolent enterprise, because the
Sisters of st. Francis" whose vows bind
their lives to the service of the sick and the
poor, have undertaken to furnish and con-
duct the hospital in the most complete man
ner, and on the most extensive scale that
the rooms and their means will admit. A
large and immediate expenditure will be
required, and the funds must be provided.
In furtherance Of this purpose, Fair will
be held about the 2lst of February.
lnasmuch as it is in aid of a charity that
will greatly benefit the city, have they not
a right to expect that our citizens will re-
spond with that promptitude and liberdlity
which have always characterized them?-
The advantages and necessity for such an
institution in our midst are so obvious that
there is no need ofargument; and the Trus-
tees and Faculty of Startling Medical Col
lege, feeling assured that the objects of the
trust committed to them will be faithfully
carried out and rendered efficient by the
arrangement they have made, most cordial
ly commend the Fair and the st. Francis
Hospital to the enlightened and liberal pat
ronage of our fellow-citizens.

New YORK, Feb. H.-Additional details
of the movement toward Wilmington last
Saturday, show thatthe troops engaged were
exclusively those of Gen. Terry's command,
but the operations were directed in person
by his superior officer, General Schofield.
They were most successful, and what at first
appeared to be only reconnaissance in
force, terminated in a permanent advance,
the Union lines being moved forward two
miles, after considerable severe skirmish-
ing. The new ground was held and works
Immediately thrown up on it, almost as
strong as those in front, to which the rebels
fell back. The Union casualties during the
day were only about ten killed and fifty
wounded
