Angel MUSIC.

-
Music soft and sweet is stealing
Round about us everywhere;
Now 1t riseth, now dcscendeth,
Seems to float upon tho air.
List its pealing,
Softly pealing,
AS it floateth on tho air.
IT'S tho voice of angels singing
Praises round Ills throne OH High
And tho music mortals heareth,
AS the echo from the sky,
Angels music;
Glorious. music,
Earth with echo doth reply.
May tho earth that echo answer,
May its millions join that song,
And in glorious anthem swelling,
Evermore His praise prolong.
Glorious anthemi
Join that anthem,
Earth with Heaven its notes prolong.
When this mortal life is ended,
On that bright, celestial shore
May We join the angels, singing,
Singing praises evermorc,
Singing praises,
Endless praises,
o. hat bright celestial shore.

EB- A curious disease prevails on the
West coast of Africa, especially on the Gaboon,
which consists in an irresistible inclination to
sleep. No pain seems to be experienced;
but tho patient stumbles readily, his step is
lettering, sense of feeling seems to be want
ing, and objects used as a support are grasped
very unstcadily. The consciousness does not
seem to be diminished, and the breathing
and digestion are normal. When the patient
is awakcd he returns again into a deep sleep
in a very short time. The disease does not
yield to any remedies, and generally onds in
death. Its precise character has not yet beon
ascertaincd with certainty.

TREASURY DEPARTMENT.,
OEFICE INTERNAL REVENUE,

H~AsHINUTUN, january 70, I8D0.
SIR: Your letter addressed to the Score
tary of the Treasury has been referred to this
Office for answer. In reply, I havo to say that
the Act of February 8, 1868, abolished the
tax on cotton, is 80 clear as to admit of no
doubt as to its meaning and effect. The Ian.
guage of the Act is: "That all cotton grown
in the United States after the year 1867 shall
DO exempt from internal tax" This operates
to exempt, not only the crop Of 1868, but the
crops Of all succeeding years, until the Act
shall be repealed or modified by subsequent
legislation.

The Cuban Ins,,rrection,

HAVANA, March S.-The government
has made public the official dispatches
giving the details of the advance of
Gen, Lesco from Laguandjala to Puerto
Principe. On this march the heaviest
engagements since the beginning of the
rebellion were fought. Gen. Lesco
found the enemy to the number of 4, 200
strongly entrenched on the river De
Cabias. The artillery was. brought up
and commenced vigorous fire upon
the works, which were covered by the
batteries. A column of regular troops,
$4,000 strong, attacked the enemy's for
titications with bayOnets. Both sides
fought with determination, and the
havoc was fearful. Gen. Uesco reports
his loss at 81 killed and eighty wounds
ed. The loss of the rebels is estimated
at upwards of 1000 killed and wounded.
The government accounts claim the
victory for Gen. Lesco, and assert that
the insurgents are much disheartened
by their defeat, detachment of which
left Puerto Principe for Santa Criz to
obtain supplies. They were brought to
that point,by the fleet, which returned
on the I'd inst. with provisions and AMI
munition, having made the march both
ways without Interruption. The en-
tire available strength Of the rebel forces
under Quesado'is estimated at 1000.

ground such general officers. as opposed

plausibly argued that the military ele-
mcnt is to be, during the present ad-

bleat wesent--will give the President
