The internal revenue law of the last
session Of Congress imposes a tax upon
the notes Of State Banlxa The text Of
the law upon this subject and the con
version Of theState Banks into national
organizations, is as follows:
SIC 6 Ind Be 4 further enacted, That
every National banking association,
State bank, or State banking sssoeia-
ton, shall pay tax Of ten per centum
on the amount Of notes of any State
bank or State banking association paid

and each branch TO be regulated by the
amount of capital assigned to and used
by each.
These are very important provisions
We presume all the State Banks that
wish TO continue their existence will
at once take steps to become Ma

law is doubtless to accomplish this, and
at the same time to rid the country Of

Lord Lyons having resigned, Sir
Frederick Bruce has been appointed
British Minister to the United States
The London Times says:
There is no reason TO doubt that in
making this selection the government
have had ample regard to the qualifica-
tions necessary for the office Sir Fred
erick Bruce has greatly distinguish ed
himself by his conduct of our trouble
some negotiations with the court of Pc
kin; and though he will have very diff
ferent persons to deal with in Washing
ton, yet a man who has been energetic,
acute, and successful in one place. will
probably be energetic and acute, and
will at least deserve 10 be successful in
smother Perhaps, in the surging sea
which American politics represent at
the present time, an intimate acQuain-
lance with the recent traditions Of our
ministry at Washington may be of less
importance than il would have been
otherwise The movements are so
rapid, the influences so uncertain, that
the course pursued at one moment msy
have to be forgotten the next But
though Sir F Bruce has not been re-
Gently employed in any post connected
with his new Office, he Is not entirely
inexperienced in Americas affairs
His fret employment was when attach
ed TO the late Lord AshburtOn's special
mission 10 Washington in 1892, when
the famous AshbuFtOn treaty was ne
gotiated subsequently, for year, he
was Lieutenant Governor of Newfound
land, and from ls47 to 1851 he was en-
ployed in the various posts in South
America. Four years after this he went
with his brother, Lord Elgin, TO China,
and has since been entirely employed
IN that country.
The Times regards it as happy CO.
incidence that this appointment should
have been made at the commencement
Of PresidentLincoln's second term. That
journal coneludes-and justly so--that
no more practical or decided answer
could have been given to the rebel
agents that have represented the Brit
ish Government as doubtful Of the pro-
pristy Of recognizing Mr. Lincoln as
the President elect Of the whole Uni
ted States The time, however, when
these devices for propping up the Con-
federate cause could be of even tempo
rary avail, has passed away for good.
And Sir Frederick Bruce will enter
upon his mission with the fullest op
Portunity for promoting a good under
standing between the two countries,

The Worlds Mauchausen, Druid"
under date Of March 18th, writes let
ter from Baltimore in which he pro-
fesses TO give the particulars Of sher-
mans march north from Savannah. He
is 80 well informed on the subject, he ar
ranges the various movements of the
army chronoIogically. he states that
on the 18th Of February Shermah's
movement north terminated, because
Beauregsrd barred his way with 60000
troops and abandoning it as mill
tary necessity" he turned the heads Of
his columns tO-tbe right and began to
move eastward towards Florence and
Wilminaton, Now, he began, also, to
experience serious difficulties in regard
to supplies. The country had been for
aged by the rebel army and nothing
was left "What, then, could his fora
ging parties accomplish, sent out from
Columbia Cheatham corps, en- route
for Chester, moved on his left flank;
Beauregard's cavalry lowered on his
front, at Allston and Winnesboro'; HaT-
dee's corps was on his right. and in bis
rear, at Kingsyille Was there ever an
army, or 3 general, in a more embar-
raising position2'
On the 27th Of February, says this
Yeracious chronicler, Sherman found
himself in a worse condition. He had
changed his line Of march only to en-
counter Johnston's whole cavalry, now
increased to u, OOOefFective men What
was he TO dO2 He could not advance
without meeting this powerful rebel
array whether be moved on Cheraw
or Florence, it was all the same. In
this dilemma, Druid says be determined
to fall back to Branchville and Charles
ton, making these points his new base.
This retrograde movement, he declares,
had been on the 4ih Of March con
6rmed He adds =" The reports of
Shermsn's having advanced 10 VIII
mington or to Fayetteville are equally
groundless"
These are the kinds of falsehoods
with which copperbead newspapers en-
terrain their readers There is not the
semblance Of truth in the letter of
Druid. At the time he was writing,
Sherman was at Fayetteville, having
occupied both Cheraw and Florence
BE had pursued the even tenor Of his
way, without serious opposition, gath
ering abundant supplies Of subsistence
and forage, his men IN fine health and
buoysnt spirits. The great armies Of
rebels Of which Druid writes, were but
men in buekram. The Confederacy has
no force sufficiently powerful to cope
with Sherman, without reducing Lees
armies before Richmond and Petersburg

be hazarded It is about time for the

The order Of General Grant prohibit
ing trade in certain insurrectionary
districts cannot fail 70 be of great serv-
ice to the country, if it be true as al
legged in certain papers that permits in
yolving millions in amount have been
granted spectators for trading in cot
ton, tar, turpentine, tobacco, &c It is
entirely useless for Grant, Sherman
Sheridan, and other Generals, TO be ex.
pending blood and treasure in destroy
ing the sources of rebel supplies and
reducing the rebels to submission, if
unprincipled traders are to be permit
ted to furnish the enemy with the
means of further resistance, and Of
keeping them advised of contemplated

the nation if all the cotton, and other
coveted productions Of the rebel States,
