APKIL ti, 18C4. rnt AURIC LTTRA TAX. uaen douat eautta with both ttix assessor andayers gayg the Kicbiaesd Whig, upon the proper cooatrnctioB of tbe act to "Levy tional Taxea," passed by tbe laid Congroes "So many attendant ffieullies" are apparent to Mr Thompson Allan, the commissioner of taxes, in reference to Ibe agricultural tax, that in hia late iastrnctions to he "deemed it best cot to aettle it at present by the ment, bat to refer it to Congrtss at its meeting ia May The wording of tbe act admits oi contradictory co Detractions, the stumbHog block being what period, or whicb year, tbe he several provision of the act apply to. 1'e come to a clear understanding upou the sob- the first point to settle is when tbe year, whether 1883 or ltiti4, begins. The beginning of a calender year i)n the let January is a mere conventional arrangement.

Ibat many inconveniences attend abis ment is univorsaily and it would porhapa be altered, bnt that it snld cause mote conlasion than to violate it an will. Io times past almost every day of tbe year Las, by come nation or other, been fixed ai the com mencemeitt of the year. Even now tbe Tark and Arabs, not to epeak of other iatarn na- Uubs, do Lot ic-ekon the year from tbe lit Jan- nary. Nrr do more civilised nations, especially onrselve recognise any propriety in adhering in enr every day transactions to the let ry. It was originally a hoatbe institution, betauie Janus, for whom Nima named that inoutb, was bi-faced and looked befjre and be- Liod.

In New Ycrk, house rent is estimated from Uay to May. 1 semo ctLer cities it is from October to October, and so with other transactions and settlements, varying with mate and the custom cf bnsineas. Tbe 1st July when tbe farmer has usually disposed of his surplus produce, and commenced to gather hia growing crop and make hi calculation for preparing ior tbe next, is tbe true new yew day ft him. The fiscal year of some of our States begins the 1st October, tat that of this United States was not many year tco fixed for tbe 1st of July, and in that oir Confederate ment ha wisely followed them On tbe 30th Jnne closes the fiscal year of 18C3 or or 1863 4, however it may be called, and to tbat year belong all the taxes or tithes tbe payment of which falls dee within that year. is scarcely possible to doubt tbat Congress, awaio of this, purposely fixed ou the 1st Jane, in its late act, for tbo payment of tbe 'adJiaonai' taxes.

By tbat lime tbe tithe of tbe last crop will be pretty generally in tbe bauds of the Government, bnt hardly before. It would clearly be the greatest injustice lo make farmers, in addition to paving the taxes imposed darinc the fiscal year lbt3 4 or 1SG3, a it may be callel, also pay, before that year expires, in currency nsw. all the taxes fur the ensuing year' and wait on the chance of crope, tithes and values, most of which were net planted at the time cf tbe pisasge of the act, or even yet, with the piivilege ot having tbe valae of their tithes, not deducted" as tbe act provides, but funded as each several titho comes in. Tbe act most clearly mean, then, tbat it is an tional," specific, retrospective tax of per cent. on all property employed in agriculture, from wbn'li ahall be deducted the value of tbe tax in kind derived therefrom, r.s assessed auder tbe sw imposing it, aed delivered to tbe Govern mett 17" We aro authoriaed by Col.

I Kk bmond, April 2, I6C4. After a deluge of rain all u'ght, panied by a violent wind, we bad this merniog a biiuding snow storm for four boors, tbe air being filled with flakes of such size tbat one was almost enongh to whiten the top of a hat, and when tbe earth had been covered to the depth of throe or four inches, a rapid thaw set in, which has mads tbe streets and roads mere bed of slush. The opecicg of the campaign in Northern Virginia is probably deferred till the midd'e of May. Tbe turnpike in the mediate neighborhood cf tbo city have been brought wiibiii Un days to their worst possible condition, and at the front, where heavy ion trains are constantly passing along and ploughing deep into the soft red clay, tbo road a must be for several week to come wholly practicable for military operation. It i cult to say whether the delay will be more barrassing to us cr to the enemy.

It will afford Grant a better opportunity for massing an mense body of men, but then it will also bring him much nearer to the sitting of the can convention, the deliberations of which body will be of the greatest interest to him, and cupy, naturally enough, a large share of bis tention. It will enable the Confederate ities, on tbe other hand, to bring into the field a far more considerable nnrober ol the new scripts than if active hostilities were to be com menced by tho middle of the present month. It will also permit us, perhaps, to ascertain more clearly the exact purposes of the enemy, and thus be prepared tbe better to thwart them. With such a man as Bobert at tbo head of the army confronting Grant, we may bo sue that the time will not be thrown away. He will pretty surely leave undone nothing that can be douo for itrengtbsnirg our lines of fense and putting his troops in the best poss fighting trim.

There is another serious consideration forced upon us by tbe heavy ram of the season tbat of the growing crops, now of tenfold more portance to ns than they have ever been. All the rivers iu Virginia are in inundation and a great quantity of wheat and corn must of cessity be destroyed upon the low grounds, all of which are more oi less under water. No in foriaation has yet been received of the extent of tbe damage on the line ol the Jamoa or the pomattox, tbe two streams whoso overflow erally works tbe moat mischief, but it ia feared tbat many larmers have suffered severely. It is not too late, now, for agriculturists in the South to repair the disasters that may have been casioned by tbe floods, and if these should prove to hare been excessive, ii is to be hoped that every acre tbat can be planted in com will be made available for tbe production of supplies. The sad case of the Rev.

George D. strong, (incorrectly given in our newspaper as D. Armstrong,) who has been sent by Boast Butler to work at Haltarts with a ball and chain on hi leg, has created a very itreng and deep feeling of indignation here, where he was well known and much belovod. His bear ing under cross examination was in tho highest degree courageous. The heroes of this war aro not those alono who display tboir heroism on tbe field cf battle.

Tho name of this martyr in the cause of political and religious liberty will bo placed high upon tbe scroll of fame. Ha comes of a brave stock. Thirty years age his brother, William J. Armstrong, then pastor of tbe 1st Presbyterian church in this eity, died the death ot a Christian hero on the deck of the Lexington, a passenger steamer running from New York to Providence. Retaining his composure under circumstances of the moat im minont peril, he pissed tbe last hours of his earthly career in encouraging and praying with hia unfortunate companions, the lives of msny of whom be saved before losing his own.

But ler could not possibly have encountered a rain ister of tbs gospel in these Confederate States less willing to truckl. to hia. taau oeorge Armstrong. The Rev B. T.

Lacy, chaplain at Jackson's headquarter duricg tbo last campaign of that ameated general, delivered a most impressive lecture here night before last, to a large andito- ty, on "tbe religions character of Jackson Mr. Lacy gave many personal anecdotes of the great leader, which have never appeared in print, and made some statements of the moral condition of our troops, tbat excited equal ear prise and aatisfaction. One circumstance was related by him, which deserves to be mentioned far and wide, a conferring lasting honor on a particular regiment. Two weeks ago he preached at the camp of tbe 12th Mississippi. After tho services the rag iment beld a meeting to consider in what man uer they might contribute to tho relief of the poor in this city.

As you may suppose, the noble fellows had no money to give. Stationed so far from their home, and these home being mostly in the enemy's lines, they were in ceipt of no boxes containing private supplies out of which they might make np a contribu lion ol lood or clothing. Their own wardrobes were ragged enough, and they ate nothing them selves but tbe army ration, rafficiently mea ger at best. What could they do for the poor of Richmond They could, and they did, do this Ts TUaivtd a rsimaaf to frtgo tktir ratiem It one dag is eacA sua and apply tkt cemmuta tied ia mswey to ike pocr fund tkt tapxtnl Do tbe record of human charity contain any thing wore truly stf-criflciPg and magaaut mous than this 1 Doe anybody believe there a is regiment in tbe Yankee army capable of so noble a deed! may say of it as the French said of the charge at Balaklava, sat tuhiimt, mail tt nut pas lagutrrt.

We have received lata Northern journals by flag of truce boat to the 31st of March, sive. We get from them tbe following ry of new KENTUCKY AGAIN "INVADED." The latest intelligence from Kentucky firms the reported attack on Paducab by Gen. Forrest A ditpatch from Cairo, March Itfth, says Padu cah is in rain. Forrest, with seven thousand men, formed line of battle two and a half mil. long, Friday afternoon, and went into tho city and demanded the surrender of the fort Col Hick refused, and the fight raged terrifically all tho afternoon.

Tbe rebels massed tbeir troops and assaulted first, but were pulsed four times. Tbe sharpshooters fired from buildings at tho trocp3 fort and on the boats. The Federals fired at btujdibgt, ing thera down and selling tbem on fiio. While tbe fight was going cu parties of the enemy plundered the stores and carried ttT horse. Tbe gunboat fired six hundred rounds and had but three wounded.

Of the troops in the fort fourteen killed and forty-six wounded. Forrest took about forty convalescents in pital prisoner. The enemy had three hundred killed aud one thousand wounded. The latter were taken to MayfislJ by rail, and the former lie around the fort unbuned. Col Hicks is titled to great praise for his heroic defense.

Tho rebel Brigadiex-Gan. A. P. Tbompaon, formerly of Paducab, was killod. Col Hicks captured a rebel surgeon, who says Forrest intended to aurprise and felt fully able to taKo tho fort.

Elevun negroes, who served the artillery, weia killed and wnanded all shot ia the head. The city is detertsl, the citizan being camped ia Ibe woods on the Illiooia side. eral women were killed yestaf Jay. Forrest sent in a nag truce to exchange prisoners, bnt Hicks would not do it. The enemy left at clock, p.

eotne in the direction of Columbus, and are laid to have captured Hickman this morning. TO rebel Gens. Harris and Borbriage were in the field at Padacah. A dispatch, later than the above, dated Cairo, March 30th, says: ibe latest lulcrination Irom Faducah sents much excitement among the citizens, ing another attack from Forrest's force a Toe marchanta aud other are moving their goods and to a safer place. Many exciting rumors nre afloat respecting rorrest a ments.

Several planters from the vicinity of Shipvrith's landing have abandoned their tations and come worth consequecca oi the depredation committed by the guariiiias. IN ARKANSAS ON THE MOVE.

A dispatch from Fort Smith says The army ot the llonaier as well as the troops composing tho department ot Arkansas, are now in motion well known; tnat all rebeldoni will wonder need not astonish any. Tbe move is pregnant with glorious remits for enr forces, and if.

John M. Thayer, Bricadrer-Goneral Commanding. JIM LANE MAKtS A SPEECU IN NEW YORK. General James H. Lane, of Kansas notoriety, aud Umtod states Senator from tbat State, de ivered an address last week before tbe Central Union Lincoln campaign club.

Two hundred and eighty-seven psople were assembled to hear him. The club sang a campaign song, tee burden ol wnrcn was, For Lire In and Union we're marching along. which was replied to with a contraband melody. tt is speecn was characteristic OI the man blustar and bravado. We copy a few passages ef tbe report made ot his speech by tbe York iYoTiti Tbe spesker said our victory ov.ir the Soith was cot comolote until they are compelled to bow their proud heads beneath the yoke of Abranam Lincoln, Applause.

lie thought the South deserved the retribution of a second term of L'ccoln, to compel the wretches to live under his administration Ho liked ths way this war was being carried on now. So far Rs he was concerned he was willing make this war a permanent institution. Al- Hereterrea to tho lime wnen nenrstwent Washington at tbo commencement of this bellion. Some men wanted to move the archives of the Government to Philadelphia aome wanted to recognize tho South. There was one man calm and collected through it all that man was Abraham Lincoln.

Loud cheering. He met a gentleman in tbe cars the other day who said to him tbat there were a eonaM arable party of politician rather against tho election of Lincoln He had replied that that politician, or set of politicians, who seek to thwart the win of ths people in tbe determined effort to re-elect Abraham Lincoln President of tbe United State will fall as flat as if an elephant had stepped on them. Great anpl iuo He reterred to ibe charge against Mr. coln that be did not issue tbe emancipation lamation soon enough. Why, aaid Mr.

Liano, we lost the eleetionri of Ohio and Indiana, sjr came nigb losing tbe balance of power in n- gteas because that proclamation was issue too soon do you know that Too public ment of tho South bad to bs agitated up to tbe point of preparation before that proclamation couid be issued. I tell you tbat old Abe's heart was just as deeply involved in the desire to sue that proclamation as Jim Lane's was. plause. Mr. Lane continued by advocating bis idea of building up a separate country in Texas for the negroes, aud lotting them all live there by (herns ot yes, uuder the protection of tbe United States.

Mr. Lar.o wentcn to say that he would port the nominee oi the Baltimore convention, whoever it was. Hi had heard the names ef Chase, Fremont loud cheering, Boiler, Feo- senden and others, and to either, if be was the regular nominee, he would give an energetic support. Three cheer were csilod from the platform and given for Lane and Lincoln; and three cheers called from the audience for Fremont was received with minglod cheers and hisses. During tbe meeting a bust of Lincoln pied the front of the platform.

The army came along in about half an hour more and landed tbo next morning, taking possession of the enemy's camping ground that night Gen.

Ia the meantime tbe Eastport had reached tbe struction, and, with the vessel that kept pace with her, had commenced ths work cf ing tho formi lablo barricade on which the rebels bad oejn employed tor eve month. They posed it to be but our energetic sailors, with hard work, opened a passage in a very few hours. bs Eastport and Neosho then proceeded to the fort, which at that moment wu being rounded by the troops under Gen. Snitb, who had marched from Simmsport.

A brisk ketry fire was going cn between the rebels and our own troops, and they were so close together that it was difficult to distinguish the ants. Tee Eastport opened her baiter its, bnt fearing to injure our own men ceased firing, when oar troops proceedod to assault and ear- lied the place. In a few moments and with small loss, two hundred an 1 8ft prisoner, eight heavy guns and two field pieces fall into our hands, and all the munitions ol war. The main body of the enemy, five thousand strong, under the rebel General Walker made their escape. THE EXPEDITION FITTING OUT AT ANNAPOLIS.

The New York papers publish the following letter imm General Jtlurneuie iu regard to Un presentation of a stand ot colors to a negro regi ment about embarking at Annapolis, to form a part of the expedition fitting oat there New York City, March 25, 1864 Jouathan Rturgis, President Union League Club, rsew rora Sir On my arrival here this morning I learn that the 2G-h United States colored regiment is to receive It colors to-morror, oner to its em barkation for Annapolis, and I very much regret tbat an important official engagement in New England to-morrow will deprive mo of the ure of being present at the presentation. As this regiment is to be in tho army corps, opportunities will, no doubt, arise in the future for me to add my share of encouragement to it members in starting out upon tbeir new work. But uo opportunity will probably offer in the tataro, when I could so well express to yonr most honorable and loyal association my high appreciation of your very snccotsful work in ganizing this regiment, nnd my sincere thank to the patriotic ladies who present the colors, for the-r kind, genoreus and considerate ment of a regiment which is to be attached to the corps that I have the honor to command. It tcay not bo amiss for mo to mention a mark made by me at a breakfast given at the Astor House in November, 1861, to the officers of one of my Massachusetts regiments, then en route for Annapolis, preparatory to our starting on oar North Carolina expedition.

It was on the morning tbat we beard of Dapont'a success on tbe coast of Sooth Carolina. I aaid that it sbonld be a source of congratulation to every loyal person tbat a lodgment had been made by Union troops upon that portion ef the Southern const where slavery exists to tbo maximum tent Tbe monstrous assertion has been made by the traitors that their new Government is to have slavery for its corner-stone, and that the institution can ba used by them as a positive belligerent force. And now w. will nave aa opportunity of determining whether "or not this force cannot be turned to onr own account and it is cleaily the duty of ever general in the field to nentralizo or torn to hi own account any forco that be may find himssli confronted lib by the enemy, wnetfier it oo active or latent. And now, sir, your association is to send morrow, to the same rendezvous, Annapolis, a regiment tba rank and file of which are colored men, many ot wnom were in aovemoer, lool, oduetng by their labors lood lor traitor in arms, or doing other work which enabled armed traitors to leave tbeir homes, for the purpose cf striking at the Government that had douo them aaoghs but good.

1 am very sorry mat cannot oe wun you morrow. Very sincerely, yonr lfieod, A. E. BVRMsIDB, Major-General. "CHANT IS THE GOVERNMENT." The lollowioe pssdage from an editorial of than any man eonld become ach through form of appointment and oath of office.

AFFRAY IN THE OHIO LEGISLATURE. The Baltimore Anunean say On Thursday last a Mr. Mayo, a copperhead member of tbe Ohio Legislature, in a debate in tbat body, aaidi "I would rather see this ernment destroyed than that one nmi abould be deprived of tbe liberty of publishing what its editor pisswsd." Mr. 'Free, a Union member, said that Mr. Mayo's language was an abuse of the liberty of ths press, and nce bat traitors speak and endorse such sentiments, when Mayo replied with aome insclting epithets, and Mr.

Free immediately collared and choked the copperhead, who was taken out oi tbe boose by his friends. Mayo had previously said that "all persons and papors had a right to ipeak treason, write treason and act treason." STRENGTH OP TBE VXIOS FORCES." The Washington correspondent of tho more iiaeeriesm, says: Some "well posted'' writers have just tained tbat the recent call for moro men wss a sudden determination on tbe part of Mr. u- coln. This is a great mistake, indeed the Pre, ident doubtless determined early in last mil to pat one million of men into lbs field, and the estimates of the war asfioe ware origiuaiiy pared for more than tbat number Acting Sar- gon GeaMcsi Barnes estimated in October, 1153, that prevision should bo made for medvrai and hospital supplies, for the fiscal year l864-ti5, for one million two hundred and tbrity-nino thousand two hundred and seventy-three eol- drers, whicb, at ten dollar each, made 892 730. This was reduce 3, aud tho military appropriation bill just passed by the If ose vides for medical and hospital for seven hundred and fifty -thru thousand five hundred and sixty-four soldiers.

When the quotas shall all have been filled we (hall doubtless have about that number iu the field. GRAHAM'S EXPEDITION. A letter from Fortress Monroe says The expedition of Gan.

If Ohio, tho most rampant of tha NotLb- eater States can do no men than this for a term of three months, we have little to fear from the efforts of tho enemy in tho coming easav paign.

Grant is the Government practically and really. Nominally two or three bodies ot politicians in Washington are still tho ment bnt that Government was merely a kind of grub, tbo only purpose of whose existence was that it might gnaw and bore and keep itself alive until it had matured a Uovernment better fitted to the present condition of the country.

The Diario it la Marina, of Havana, giving the reason why be was ordered to leave, says He had asked permission of the Provisional Government to go from Si. Thomas to Jalap, here ho has largo property, which had been very much deteriorated, and where ha expected that his presence would have influence to re establ'ah order and consolidating tho new tem of Government There was not a moment's hesitation in giving him tho permission he asked for, but, at the same time, it was made a sia. qua sua that ha ahcu'd renounce the pnjecttliat he had made known of its being his intention to publish and circulate ia Mexico a manifesto. In which he proposed to explain to the can tho reasons that bad induced him to cept, without any restriction, the now order oi things; or, in othor words, to give iu his sion to the empire. General Bezaino and tho regeucy were cf opinion that such a manifesto might be made an excuse for disturbance, tho country being yet in an agitated etaia, and consented to General Santa Anna returning whenever be pleas sd, pro vided that he abstained from any maoifddjation on his arrival.

This determination was made known to Santa Anna on his arrival at Vera Cruz, whero tho necessary instructions had been sent, as wall aa tojalapa. But, notwithstanding, th aaaiufeotn began to be extensively circulated in loose sheets, and, in consequence, tbe order was sent to him to leave the country. GOV.
