Its mm is tb perfect the present system of tax- ntion, without making any radical change. The vote by which the bill to incorporate the Douglas'Miring and Smelting Company was indefinately postponed a few days since, was reconsidered" and the bill passed.

Mr. Messick reported that the rebels under Breckinridge and Pegram, from 8,000 to 12,000 strong, were marching on Danville, and were but a few miles distant. Watford's 1st Kentucky cavalry was holding the rebel's advance in check, while our small (orces were falling back to the fortifications at Lexington.

Society have been ffered $7,000 for the site formerly occu- by their church building. The ground 65x100 feet iii extent. Hickman's Bridge. We have a force there that will destroy the bridge, if they find that they cannot prevent the crossing. Mr.

Richard Apperson, Collector of Internal Revenue, 4th district of Kentucky, and Mr. Barnes, a banker, and many others from Mt. Sterling, arrived here this morning. They state that our men, some 200, were captured at Mt. Sterling, by Clarke's rebel cavalry.

They also state that the court house was not destroyed, though several efforts were made by the rebels to fire it. Fourteen buildings were consumed, including the Montgomery House, the property of Mr. Apperson. All tbe Union families were leaving and coming down to Covington. A gentleman who arrived this evening from Mt.

Sterling, which place he left this morning, brought a letter which was written at Owensville yesterday by a Union man, which states that Clark's force, about 800 to 1,000 strong, had returned to Owensville, after them, and attacked them on Mt. Sterling, and that they were then reinforced by 3,000 mounted infantry from Humphrey Marshall's command. It is certain that all the country south of the Kentucky river is in possession of the rebels. That stream is very high, and it is donbtful if the rebels can get across. It is said that Marshall is advancing from eastern Kentucky, Stonewall Jackson from Pound Gap, and Breckenridge and Pegram via Mill Springs, Somerset and Danville.

Fifteen thousand troops will be here tonight and more will follow. mt We direct the attention of our citizens to an organization which is rapidly forming in this city under the above name. The enrolment list, a espy of which is exposed for signiture in the office of the Evening Post, bears the following title, which clearly explains the purposes of the League: "We, the undersigned, citizens of the United States, hereby associate ourselves under the name and title of the LOYAL NATIONAL LEAGUE. "We pledge ourselves to an unconditional loyalty to the government of the United States, to an unwavering support of its efforts to suppress the rebellion, and to spare no endeavor to maintain unimpaired the national unity, both in principle and territorial bpundary. "The primary object of this League is and shall be to bind together all loyal men, of all trades and professions, in a common union to maintain the power, glory and integrity of the nation.

Among the various programmes und constitutions of loyal leagues, Union leagues, and Union clubs, we have seen none which.so well snpply the great need of the time and so thoroughly answers the broad name of league as this. There is no money test of entrance, the only condition of admission being a willingness to sign and abide by a simple and comprehensive pledge of loyalty to the government and to the idea as well as the substance of National Unity. £Now that the most poisonous of the doctrines of the Calhounites, those doctrines in which the Southern rebels seek their apology for the most heinous crime in history, are boldly put forth by rebel sympathizers, it seems appropriate that loyal men should band together to maintain the substance and adhere to the glorious idea'of National Unity. General Rosecrans, in his patriotic general order issued to the Western army on the birthday of Washington, happily expresses this idea: "Out of respect for the memory of virtues revere, whose wisdom, justice and self- sacrificing demotion to national unity we resolve to imitate ourselves and teach to our will to-day renew to each other the pledges already given by onr past toils and sufferings, and which many of our brave companions have already sealed with their blood. We will transmit the freedom we inherit from Washington unimpaired to the posterity of our nation, 'one and indivisible' or we will perish in its defense, bequeathing a name glorious to them and terrible to the rebel conspirators whose vile deceptions have arrayed our brethren against us." This is the battle-cry of tho bravo patriots who, with their breasts to the foe, stand between the and the pari- cides who seek its ruin.

He was oppesed to mobs aud always had been, and waa for yielding obedience to the laws of thia State and the United States, and also-of the State of New York.

He then went on to say tliat the injunction on some of the corporators named in the bill had no effect whatever to prevent them from acting in that capacity, and urged upon the committee to pay no heed to statements to the contrary. He insisted tbat as no bond holder had the ability to purchase the road, and hence the necessity of granting an act to authorize the bond holders to do that which 'they wished to do, ought to be permitted to do, jn order to protect their property. He criticised the speeches of Messrs. Carpenter and Kyan, delivered yesterday, said that he always listened to Mr. attention and pleasure, as he did to the gentleman who followed him but the first gentleman, Mr.

Carpenter, very much like a smart young lawyer, at the commencement of his practice, attempted to laugh the case out of the court; The. latter gentleman, Mr. Eyan, stated' the question fairly and logically; bnt they differed widely in their conclusions, from the premises laid down.

The Portage Register says, -a frame building on Canal' street "near the old Christopher Hotel, belonging; to 0. H.

How the fire originated ia a matter of speculation. There were several persons in the house and some difficulty was occasioned in getting them'out. Loss unknown. While the fire was.iu-progress; on nal street, another discovered in one of tho kitchens, of the City Hotel. Persons passing at the time discovered it, arid a little timely exertion checked its very little damage' being done.

The machinery for it is being made in Central New- York and it is to be ready, if we mistake not, about the first of May. The Madison Journal of Thursday says, We are authorized to say that the Governor, having received urgent requests for more medical aid for the troops before Vicksbnrg, presuming that many hysicians would, as they had heretofore one, gladly volunteer their for a few weeks in aid of the sick soldiers, invites such competent Surgeons as are willing to to signify their readiness, andheJUfliurnish them transportation to the if not all of them, will doubtless be placed underpay by the Government as Contract the Governor has no authority to promise thia. i- "Our state exchanges are, requested to aid ia giving publicity to this'matter."

The last named waa found out to be the intended bride of General Fitzhngh Lee, and the errand of herself and her fair companion was to purchase wardrobes for the approaching nuptials. We have not learned by what particular means Provost Marshal Todd learned the purport of visit of these.

ladies he determined to send them back to Dixie by the sameroaJ they the Culpepper route. Some officers high in command interceded in their behalf, and asked that they might be allowed to visit Baltimore; but Mr. Watson, Assistant Secretary of War, insisted that they should be sent home instanter. Mis.s future Mrs. Gen.

Lee a. very pretty though rather petite young lady, and is very intellectual withal. When she found the Provost Marshal inexorable, aha requested that they might be sent back via Fredericksburg, as they not relish th'e transportation in ox carts and things through the Bull Run region. When the Marshal in-. formed her firmly but politely thatghe- must return by the way she came, the.

bride elect was quite indignant. She, stormed a little and her bright flashed a good deal. She remarked with great force and she hoped to meet Marshal Todd inRicbmondywhen she would take pains to reward him for his kindness, The ladies were placed under the care of Lieutenant Clark Smith, of the 169th. New York regiment, and escorted to Alexandria, where they werer placed in, charge of General Tate, Provost Marshal; of the defences south of the Potomac. Lt.
