An hour wos nassed IN the fort. the

An hour was passed in the fort, the
band playing national airs, and the par
ty inspecting the ruins and gathering
relics hth
For four long years the cannon of
Sumpter have hurled their iron bolts
against the rights of man but the con-
test there is ended. The strong earth
works on Sullivan's and Johnson's Is
lands, the batteries in the harbor, Cas-
tie Pinckney and Fort Ripley, those in
the city erected by slaves, are useless
now and forever, except as monuments
Of folly and wickedness. AS / stood
there upon the ruins of Sumpter, look
ing down into the crater, the past like
a panorama was unrolled, exhibiting
the mighty events which will forever
make it historic ground. The silent
landing of Major Anderson at the post
ern gate, the midnight prayer and the
solemn consecration Of the little band
to defend the flag to the last, the long
week of preparation, the imbecile old
man at Washington, the Star of the
South turning her bow seaward, the
18th of April, the barracks on fire, the
supplies exhausted, the hopelessness of
success, the white flag flung out, the
surrender, and all that has followed,
were the pictures of the moment.

New National Tax Law.

The following will be found to oon-
tain some of the most imtortant fea-
lures of the tax bill as passed by both
houses Of Congress OH the report Of the
Conference Committee:
The income tax was as follows: on
all incomes exceeding six hundred dol
lars there shall be levied and collected
tax of five per cent, and on all in
comes over five thousand dollars there
shall be collected tax of ten per cent.
The tax On cigars was originally fix
ed at sixty cents per pound, but, as fl
-nally agreed on, specific tax is fixed
at ten dollars per one thousand cigars,
without regard to the price or quality,
instead of so much per pound. On all
tobacco manufactured purely from the
leaf there is levied tax of forty cents
per pound; Oh smoking tobacco the tax
was fixed at forty cents, and on tobac-
co manufactured from stems, etc., there
is levied tax of thirty-fiye cents per
pound. o go.
On and after January, 1866, there is
levied tax of ten per cent. on all State
bank circulation, and from the first of
next May savings banks are taxed one
half per ceut. on their deposits.
On petroleum, an original bill, a tax
of six cents per gallon was nailed, but
the tax was finally fixed at one dollar
per barrel Of thirty gallons. No draw
back is to be allowed whatever when
petroleum Is exported.
In the oath section Of the old reve-
nue. law an increase tax of go cents is
levied on every article of the schedule
named therein. The schedule includes
all kinds of manufactures, and the old
law with this 20 per cent. added will be
the nav standard of taxation.
The stamp law is so amended as to
make every written instrument void
without its proper stamp.
The tax of gross receipts on vessels
stands, but they are exempt when
chargeable with tonnage duties.
Freights and passengers from one part
of the United States to another and
passing through to foreign country,
shall pay the same as passing through
other parts of the United States.
The following taxes failed to become
incorporated in the new law, being lost
by wide disagreement of the two
houses, viz: A tax of ] Of per cent

en- out, the Senate conferees refusing to
concur unless drawbacks were given
on manufactured articles.
Both houses have agreed to the ap.
pointment of Commissioners to sit du-
ring the recess to examine into the sub
ject of taxation. ~to

Gently, Gen. Connor established pro-
vost guard in Salt Lake City to prevent
disorder. Brigham Young demanded
that they should be removed, and made
preparations to attack them, and was
only deferred from doing so by Gen.
Connor turning his guns on Brigham's
harem and throwing shells over the city
to the country beyond, telling him il
he wanted the provost guard removed,
he must remove them. The guard re-
NAMED, but the discomfort remained
also, and the News thinks probably it

Condition Of Fort Sumpter.
A Visit to the Ruin-Reneetious Thereon.

3" Carleton" the well known corre-
spondent of the Boston Journol, thus
describes his visit to Fort Sumpter
After ramblc Of several hours
through the city of Charleston, we
made visit to Sumpter, entering by
the sally port where Maj. Anderson and
his faithful few entered on that ever to
be remembered January night of 1861.
The fort bears little resemblance to its
appearance then, externally or internal
ly. No portion of the original face of
the wall is to be seen, except on the
side towards Charleston and q portion
Of that facing Moultrie. From the har-
Dor and from the Wagner it appears
only tumult-the debris of an old ruin.
All the easements, arches, pillars and
parapets are torn up, rent asunder and
utterly demolished. The great guns
which two years ago kept the Monitors
ut bay, which famed and thundered
awhile on Wagner, are dismounted,
broken, overturned, and lie buried be-
meath the mountain of brick, dust, con-
orete, sand and mortar. After Dupont's
attack, in April, 1868, a reinforcement
of palmetto logs was made on the har-
Dor side, aud against half of the wall fa-
cing Moultrie. The lower tier of case
mates was filled up with sand bags, but
when Gen. Gilmore obtained posses
sion, his fire began to crumble the par
apet. The rebels endeavored to recon-
struct the wall, or to maintain its orig
inal height by gabions filled with sand,
but this compelled widening of the
base inside. Thousands of bags filed
with sand were brought to the fort at
night. Bomb-proofs were constructed.
Day after day, week after week the
pounding from Wagner was maintain
ed so effectually and thoroughly that it
was impossible to keep gun in posi-
ton OH that side. .i7i a
The only guns now remaining are FIVE
or six on the Moultrie side Of the mid
die tier of casematcs. Five -howitzcrs
were kept on the walls to repel an at.
tack by small boats, the garrison keep
idg under cover or seeking cover when
ever the lookout cried' a shot!'
Chevedur de trise of pointed sticks
protect the fort from scaling party.
AT the base outside are iron posts and
wire net work. There is also sub
merged network of wire and chains
kept in place by floating buoys.
Ihad the curiosity to make an inspec-
ton of the wall facing Mou.trie, to see
what was the effect of the fire of the
iron-clads in Dupont's attack. With
my glass at that time could see that
the wall was badly hopoycombed
close inspection shows that it was q
very damaging fire. There are seams
in the masonry, and great gashes,
where the solid bolts crumbled the
bricks to fine dust. 1t is evident that
If the fire could have been continued
any considerable length of time there
that the wall would have fallen. The
effect of that fire led to tho filing up Of
the lower casemates.

A Charlotte correspondent of the
Richmond Wing says Shermap's ad-
vance on Clumbia was unexpected, sud-
den and surprising. 1t found all un-
prepared, and he cool enough to do
enything. When his guns was heard
in the city, the public officers for the
first began to think of removing Gov
ernment stores. The little army gave
away step by step until fianked out OF
their position on the opposite side OF
the Congaree, when they fell back
again to the city and began upon the
work of getting off the stores, but the
time was too short and muce was left.
The worst feature of the whole scene,
was the plundering done by Wheeler's
Cavalry. This was done most system
atically, as if they were trained to
stealing.

One Of the best illustrations of the
benefits of advertising which we have
noticed lately, says . contemporary, was
given few days since in Barnum's
Museum, in New York.
1t was in the afternoon, just prece-
ding the exhibition in the grand lecture
room, time when thousands of peo-
pie of all ages, sexes and nationalities,
always throng every part of the build
ing. The great Snowman, who is al
ways present, personally attending to
the wants of his patrons, noticed that
Mr., A, well known as one of the veal
thiest men in America, was present, and
that he appeared anxiously in search of
some one whom he could not find. AS
he was frequent visitor at the Muse
um, no particular attention was given
to the fact at the time. Some time af-
forwards, however, Mr.. Barnum MOTTO
ed him again in another part of the Mu-
scum, forcing his way through the
crowd, and still evidently pursuing his
vain search. With that spirit of ac-
comrnodation so characteristic of the
man, Mr.. Barnum approached him to
offer any assistance in his power, when
MIR. A. petulantly accosted him as fol-
lows:
Mr.. .Barnum, / am discouraged.
have been here for more than an hour
looking for Mr.. NJ, of Boston. / have
searched your Museum through seven
stories, from basement to attic. / know
he is here /, but to find him In this crowd
is impossible. Can you or any one tell
me why it is that so many people are
here every day 2"
"There is nothing more easily ac-
counted for" replied Barnum. "In the
first place, get something worth see
ing, and then make it known that /
have got it. That's all.
"Nonsense % said Mr.. A., "people
have got into the habit of coming here,
and would any way. ] don't believe in
this advertising; it amounts to very lit
tie. That's just my opinion"
"Well, indeed, l am happy to learn
that people have such good habits
But to show, now, that you are entire
ly mistaken, / will do little adverti-
sing for your own especial benefit, and
then you may be induced to change
your mind on that point"
Thus saying, Barnum stepped to the
door of the lecture room followed by
Mr.. A. In front was a sea of upturn-
ed faces, anxiously awaiting the raising
of the curtain and the commencement
of the play. While Mr.. A. was Won
dering how advertising could benefit
him in such an immense throng, Bar
aum stepped upon seat, and calling
in loud voice, said:
"Is Mr.. NJ, of Boston, PRESENT.
If he is, viii he oblige me by coming
this way?" ~ - -
In another moment a man arose in
the audience, and made his way to the
door.
"Now," said Barnum, "you have
spent over an hour trying to find man
whom / have found for you in less than
a minute. Instead of taking the easiest
and cheapest way, you took the round
about and costly way. Now, whenev-
er you want anything let people know
it, and If it can be had you will surely
obtain IL; and if you have anything to
dispose of, do the same. In other
words, advertise. l advertised, and
you did not. You have seen the result !;
are Won not convinced 2o

A Blood Hound Chase.

The rebel practice of chasing Union
prisoners, of war with bloodhounds is
thus illustrated in a letter from Sher-
mans army to the Cincinnati Gazette:
"Our escaped prisoners are hunted
by bloodhounds. These are kept at all
the pens for that purpose. To kill one
of them is certain death, if discovered.
On one occasion, two were killed at
Andersonville, and the authorities not
being able to find those who commit
ted the act, placed the carcasses of the
dogs outside the dead line in the brook
which supplied the camp with water
and allowed them to rot there.
''Hundreds of our officers and men
have been chased by these dogs. They
are kept at all guard stations and pick
etposts throughout the South, and espe-
cially at the ferries and fords of the riv-
ers, and are used to hunt beth our men
and deserters from the rebel army.
"We have space only for one case
Of a bloodhound chase, The parties
who had escaped were private Crum-
NIT and Harris, of the Ninth Illinois
Cavalry; Martin Cloes, Third Illinois,
and Patterson, of the Second New
York. Two Of these soldiers were
eighteen years old, one only seventeen.
They were chased by fifteen dogs, in
charge Of some twenty men. -
zone man, finding the dogs close up
on them and no chance to escape pres
enting itself, climbed on the porch of
n house and waited till the party came
up. Enraged that their thirst for Yam
kee blood had not been gratified, they
made Crumnel come down to them,
then knocked him on the head with a
musket, formed ring, put the dogs in
it, and threw him to them. He was
terribly torn, and soon after died. Har-
is and Cloes were treated in the same
way and badly torn. r .e4. 80.
Patterson, who was mere boy,
kneeled down and prayed these human
fiends not to let the dogs tear him; but
to no purpose. He was forced down,
and on undertaking to regain the porch
was kicktd in the face, all his front
teeth broken out and he rendered in
sensible, and in that state thrown into
the ring. The dogs had satiated them
selves with blood and refused to touch
him. This is only a single case Of
many which could be related.
