The following is the text Of the letter Of
the wopld-be Admiral Porter. and has crea-
ted such sensation within the last few days
NORTH ATLANTIC SQUADRON,
I. 5. FLAGSHIP MALvERN,
CAPE FEAR RIVER, Jan. q, 1865.
My DEAR SRI received your kind
letter Of the 18th instant, and thank you
warmly for the confidence YOU reposed in
my good opinion that this place could be
taken. To the Navy Department alone is
the country indebted for the capture OF
this rebel stronghold had it not been for
your perseverance in keeping the feet
here, and your constant propositions made
TO the army, nothing would have been
done. As it was, after the proposition had
been received, and General Grant promised
that troops should be sent, it was not done
until General Butler consented to let the
matter go OF and when be hoped to re-
ceive some little credit for the explosion of
the powder boat. Now the country gives
General Grant the credit of inaugurating
the expedition, when, on both occasions,
he permitted it to go improperly provided.
In the 6rst pace 1t had neither head nor
tail, as far as the army was concerned. In
the second place he (Grant) sent too few
men, when ne ought to have calculated
that the rebels would have more strongly
defended the works, after seeing what a
narrow escape they had. Nothing but the
most desperate fighting and a determine
ton to win on the part Of the army, gave
Us the victory. The gallant band of sail
ors who fearlessly went into the works
amidst q shower of canister and bullets.
drew the enemy's attention away from the
assault on the land side, and enabled the
troops to obtain a secure footing. l don't
say this to detract from the gallantry of
the soldiers, for never did men fight harder
or more handsomely than did our troops
that day. Now that the most important
fort on the coast has been gained, as usual,
you will hear Gnt little OF what the navy
did, and no doubt efforts will be made
again TO show that the work was mot
substantially injured as defensive work"
To General Grant, who Is always willing
to take the credit when anything is done,
and equally ready IN lay the blame OF the
failure on the navy, when a failure takes
place, / feel under no obligation for receiv-
ing and allowing a report TO be spread
from his headquarters that there were
three days when the navy might have op-
Grated and did not. He knows as much
about il a. he did when he wrote TO me,
saying, 'the only way in which the place
could be taken was by running the ships
past the batteries" showing evidently that
he hal not studied the photography Of
Cape Fear River, and did not know the
virtue there was in our wooden walls
when they went in for a fair stand-up
fight. Any fortin rebellion can be taken
ID w can only get in reach of it. I have
served Gith the Lieutanant-Gene before.
where | never worked so hard in all my
life 70 mako r man succeed as l did for
him. You will scarcely notice in his re-
ports that the navy did him any service,

REVENUE

Jvdge Kelley, Of Pennsylvania, in the
House at Washington is moving in the
direction of Reform. His resolution is a
step in the right direction and If passed
would measurably relieve the overtaxed
labor of the land. Judge Kelley moves
for the adjustment of all the stamp null
sances, income tax and all internal revenue
Affections. His resolution reads as fol-
lows:
Rescued. That the true principles Of
revenue reform point TO the abolition OF
the internal revenue system, which was
created as q war measure, 10 provide for
extraordinary expenses, and the continu-
ance Of which involves the employment,
at the cost Of millions OF dollars annual
~, OF an army Of assessors, collectors,
detectives and other officers previously
unknown. and requires the repeal, at the
earliest day consistent with the mainten-
ance of the faith and credit of the govern
ment, Of all stamp and other internal
taxes, and that properly adjusted rates
shall be retained on distilled spirits, to-
bacco and malt liquors so long as the le-
climate expenses Of the government re-
quire the collection Of any sum from
internal taxes.
We have little hope of the party in
power accepting and adopting this move.
Corruption and avarice rule its destinies'
II legislates for its favorite capital and op-
presses and rObs the labor Of the land,
especially the West. The great work OF
Reform will devolve upon the Democratic
party when they shall succeed to power.
The party OF evil will never become the
parry Of reform. Its household gods are
evil-civil war. rapino corruption, wrong,
oppression, injustice. These are the rul-
ing spirits Of the Grant radical party.
The resolution passed the House and it
Is supposed that Kelley desires to abolish
the Internal Revenue in order to increase
the tariff Tor protection purposes. weare
glad to see this move at all events. and do
not believe the tarifites will succeed.
