Fernando "Wood asked leave to offer the following resolution : ' . Resolved, That it is the duty of the Pres ident to maintain, in every Constitutional and 'legal manner, the integrity of the American Union, as lormea Dy the lathers of the Kepublic, and under no circumstan ces to proffer or accept negotiations which shall admit, by the remotest implication, tne existence oi any otner n eaeral or law fu! Government within the limits of the United States. Mr. Farasworth, of Illinois, objected to tne recopuon oi tne resolution. Mr. . Wood gave notice that he would on next Monday move a suspension of the rules, to introduce the resolution. The Breaker announced the Committee to count the votes for President and Vice- President in February next. ' The House resumed the consideration of the anti-slavery Constitutional amendment Din. . Mr. McAilistor said that on a former oc casion he voted against the measure, but satisfied that the southerners will be satis fied with nothing short of Independence, he should now vote for it and declare eter nal war against the enemies of his coun try. I Mr. UGH roth spoke in favor of the amend ment. - ; Mr. Miller (Democrat) repudiated the position taken by his colleague, and briefly expressed himself against the amendment. Mr. .Brown opposed the proposition and gave notice ot a substitute, for gradual emancipation and compensation to Union men. Mr. Harding denied constitutional power to deprive any State in the Union of its local self-government. Mr. Kalbneisch, of JNow lork, gave reasons why he could not vote lor the proposition. All our misfortunes are at tributable, ho said, to a disregard of tbe ittnaiuution. The debate ceased at half-past three o'clock, when the pending question was stated to be on reconsidering the voto by which, at the last session, the constitutional amendment was rejected. Mr. stiles, of 1'enn., moved to lay that motion on tne table, lsciccted yeas 57, nays til. J. ho main question was then ordered on the reconsideration, and the vote by which the consitutional amendment was rejected was reconBiaered 112 against 57. xne vote is as lollows : Yeas : Allison, Ames, Anderson, Arnold Ashley, Bailey, Baldwin (Mich), Baldwin (Mass), Baxter, Beaman, Blain, Blow, Boutwell, Boyd, Brandago, Broomall, Brown (West Va), Ambrose W Clark.

Absentees, or those not voting were. Messrs. Lazear, Le Blonde, Morcia, McDon nell, McKinney, Middleton, Kogera and Vorhees. So the constitutional amendment was adopted. Applause followed the an nouncement. The House, by a vote 121 against 24 amid contusion adjourned. Tbe question was then stated on the adoption of the constitutional amendment, and the vote resulted yeas 119, nays 56. In the House to-day, when the Clerk commenced calling the roll, the Speaker asked for his name to be called as member of tbe House. The name was accordingly ailed, and when responded to was ap plauded. The Speaker checked the ap plause, and hoped order would be pre served. Some of the Democratic members said the Republican side was as noisy as a gal lery. Mr. Ganeon, who had voted no on tie question to reconsider the vole by which tne joint resolution was heretofore lost, now voted aye, and Messrs. Ridford and Steele, of New York, changed their votes in the game mannvr. These changes gave rise to applause, which was promptly checked. Tne utmost interest was manifested throughout the calling of tbe roll, and there was strict attention on the part of members to their responses. The votes of Baldwin, ot Michigan, and the gentlemen above mentioned, nowever, gave hopes to the friends of the measure. When the calling of the roll was completed, the Clerk proceeded to read the names. The result of the vote wag noted on a piece of paper ana handed to the Speaker, who announc ed the passage of the joint resolution by a vote of 119 yeas against 56 nays. There upon rose a general shout of applause. The members on the floor huzzaed in chorus with the galleries. The ladies in the Hou?e assemblage waved their handkerchiefs, and again and again the applause was repeat ed. The audience were wildly excited and the friends of the measure jubilant. of to to a SENATE. Mr. Wade, I notice that tho Secretary f War, in replying to a communication of the Senate about the employment of Gen erals, has made a mistake which I wish to correct. Ha says, among other things, that Generals Banks and Lee are before tbe Committee on tbe Conduct of the War. This is a niLtaKo, and one which I wisn to rectify, because it seems to be a standing one, and I think it interferes with the dis position which tha Executive wishes to make of these officers. Mr. Wade further stated that on the 14th of December, General Banks was be fore the Committee for about two hours, to give testimony con earning the Bed River expedition. One day in January the Com mittee tound him in tne city, and callod en him for a few minutes to explain Borne matters. General Lee had not been before the Committee since the 13th of January, when he gave testimony for about two hours. He (Wade) wished it to be under stood that neither Banks nor Lee were de tained here by tbe Committee on the Con duct of the War. Mr. Sumner offered the following resolution: Resolved, That the President of the United States be roauestsd, if not in com patible with public Interest, to furnish the Seriate with any information in his possession, concerning any personal com munications with the rebel Jefferson Da vis, said tojhave been had under the Execu tive sanction, and also copies of any corres, pondence relative thereto. : Mr. Conness said I suggest to the Sen ator if it would not be better to leave out the verbage and make the resolution refer to the mission 01 Mr. xilair. Mr. Sumner said I bee the Senator's pardon, but I prefer it as it is. Mr. Johnaoa offered the following as an amendment, by way of a substitute : Resolved, That tbe President oi the Uni ted States be requested, if not incompati ble with the public interests, to inform the Senate if any person, and if any, who, has with his authority or consent been in Rich mond negotiating with the President of the so-called Uon federate mates, or with any other person or porsons in that place in relation to tbe termination of the pres ent war, or witn a view to ascertain lrom such persons in authority upon what terms, if any, they would be willing to have said war terminated ; and if so, to inform the Senate also what information he has ob tained from such a gentleman or persons ; also if such person was in Richmond as aforesaid, whether he was authorized or permitted by the President of the United States to ropresent to tbe Confederate au thorities upon what terms or conditions the President would negotiate in relation to pf ace, and if so, what Euch terms and conditions were. Mr. Doolittle suggested that both resolu tions be printed and called up to-morrow. Tha was agreed to. Mr. Anthony introduced a bill relative to tba mail service between New York and the Pacific coast, which authorized the Postmaster General to contract for the transportation of mails upon such lines by steamers on tbe Atlantic and racinc coast, and by land transit across the Isthmus semi-monthly, tri-monthly, or weekly, as in his judgment the public interests may lrom time to time require, the compensa tion not to exceed $400,000 for a semi monthly, and $600,000 for a weekly line. The bill was referred to the Committee on Postottices and Postroads. Mr. Powe.l asked that the Senate take up the bill to build a bridgo across tbe Ohio river at Louisville. Tho motion was disagreed to. Mr. Hale then moved that the Senate procoed to the consideration ot Mr. Davis for the appointment of a standing com mittee on the corruptions of tho govern ment. Mr. Doolittle suggested that tha animad versions of tbo Seautor from New Hamp shire, on the conduct of the Navy Depart ment were likely to lead to protracted dis cussion. It would be well to make this the special order for some day, as there was very little time of th") morning hour remaining. Mr. Hale insisted on this motion. Mr. Henderson desired to take up the bill to reimburse the State of Missouri lor expenditures in calling out the militia of that Stale. Tbe Senate refused to take up this bill and proceeded to tbe considera tion of tho resolution of Mr. Davis, upon which Mr. Halo was entitled to the floor. Mr. Hale said he was opposed to ap pointing any more committees to investi gate corruptions until some action was ta ken on tbe frauds already discovered. He read at length from a report made by the Hon. John Sherman, wben a member of the House, on the subject of naval contracts show that while Congress had hereto fore gone to great trouble and expense t discover frauds, yet none of the guilty pur lies had ever been punished. J The morning hour expired, and thechair decided that the retaliation resolution was n order on the proposition to re-commit tbe papers on the subject to the Military Committee. The subject was discussed bv Messrs. Hendricks, Wade, Sumner, Sprague and Hone. Mr. Saulsbury said that if all the alloca tions against the rebels as to the treatment our soldiers be true, it was but another argument tor peace. He was not ashamed stand up in Senate and advocate peace. ne was not in tne nabit of endorsing what the President did, but if, as he heard. Commissioners were on their way here to treat for pi ace, and it this was the result of promises beld out to the Confederates by the President, he was willing to endorse him so far. Tbe question was taken on the motion recommit the subject, which the Senate refused goto do; ayes 10, nays 2G. Ayes Carlisle, Davy, Hendricks, Pow ell, KiehardBon, Kiddle, Saulsbury, Sumner, Van Winkle, Wright. Nays Anthony, Chandler, Clark, Col lamer, Connes8,Cowan,Dixon, Foster, Hale, Harlan, Harris, Henderson, Howard, Howe, Johnson, Lane (Ind.), Morgan. Morrill, Nesmith, Pomeroy, Ramsey, Sherman, Ton Eyck, Wilkinson, Willey. The question then recurred on the amendment making retaliation conforma ble to the law of nations. Mr. Sumner moved a further amend ment by making it conform also to the usages of war ss practiced by civilized nations, and called for the yeas and nays on his amendment, and it was adapted by vote of 26 yeas against 13 nays, as fol lows: Ybas Messrs. Carlisle, Cowan, Davis, Doolittle, Foote, Fwter, Harlan, Harris, Henderson, Hendricks, Lane, of Ind, HcDongal, Morgan, Nesmith, Pomeroy, Powell, Richardson, Riddle, Saulsbury, Sherman, Sumner, Ten Eyck, Van Winkle, Willey, Wilson, and Wright. Nats Messrs. Chandler, Clark, Colla mer, Conness, Dixon, Famwell, Hale, Howe, Howard, Ramsay, Trumbull, Wade, Wilkinson. Mr. Sumner moved toamend by striking out the following: Congress does not, however, intend by this to limit or restrict the power of the President to tbe modes or principles of retaliation herein mentioned, but only advises or requires a resort to them as demanded by the occasion. Mr. Sherman suggested that the amend ment be modified so as to strike out the words : To the mode or principles of re taliation herein mentioned. This was adopted. Mr. Hendricks offered as an amendment an additional resolution, declaring the sense of the Senate to be in favor of an ex change of prisoners. The amendment wag adopted. Mr. Henderson offered an amendment advising the appointment of Commission ers of Prisoners to look after the condition of our prisoners in the future. The yeas and nays were called for, and the amendment was adopted. The resolution as amended wag then passed, and the Senate adjourned. PEACE RUMORS. NEW YORK, Jan. 31. The ContmerciaV s Washington special says : Well informed persons are dispos ed to credit the rumor that Stephens, Hunter and Campbell are about to visit Washington as Peace Commissioners. The Poet's special says Secretary Ftssen den, in bis instructions to Jay Cooke & Co, says he intends to rely wholly hereafter upon taxes and the sale of 7-30 bonds to pay the expenses of the war. FROM BALTIMORE. BALTIMORE, Jan. 31. It was currently reported here last night, and is reported this morning, that peace commissioners are now on their way to Washington.

Hunter and two others reached our lines and re quested to -come within eur lines at Fort Hell, but were refused, and were awaiting permission from General Grant, who was then absent N.B. I think the commissioners were admitted, nevertheless, and are now on their way to Washington. xne American, or this alternoon. pub lishes tbe following dispatch : The report has been current on tne streets, since last evening, to the effect that the Richmond Sentinel hug announced the departure of three Peace Commissioners for Washington. Up to noon to-day we have no official confirmation of the rumor, though the assertion has been varied this morning by sn equally positive announce ment that Peace Commissioner, consisting of the Rebel Vice President and Senators R. M. T. Hunter and Campbell had arrived at uuy xoint, and were expected to reach Annapolis to-day. Tbey are not spoken of commissioners representing the rebel government, but as citizens representing the people on their wav to Washmeton to conler with president Lincoln on the sub ject of peaca, precisely in the same capac ity that Lslair visited .Richmond.

Davis consist ing of Vice President Stephens, R. M. T. Hunter and General G. W. Smith, have arrived at Annapolis, with full power to arrange a settlement of our national diffi culties. It is believed, from the understandine between Mr. Blair and Mr. Davis that the terms will be entirely satisfactory to tbo Administration and to Congress, and will chiefly consist of an amnesty to all offend ers and a withdrawal of tbe Confiscation Proclamation. FROM WASHINGTON. WASHINGTON, Jan. 31. Nothing can be obtained confirmatory of tne report tnat rebel ireace Commissioners have arrived at City Point, cn route to Washington. FROM NEW YORK.

In the case of the Bank of the Common wealth, etc, plaintiffs in error, vs. the Com missioners of Taxes, etc, in error to tne Court of Appeals of tbo State of New York, Justice Nelson, in the Supreme Court of the Unitad States, hag delivered tha opinion of the court, reversing the judgment of the Court of Appeals, with costs, and remanding the cause with in structions to enter judgment in conformity the opinion of th6 Supreme Court. Tne game judgment was rendered in all the other bank cases. Two years ago the Su preme Court of the United btates pro nounced a decision that a State had no right to tax United States bonds and secu rities, and the present decision is to the effect that such bonds and securities cannot be taxed by indirection on a valuation equal the amount of the capital stock of the banks so invested.

Government securities were all better, with an increased demand for old 5-20s for foreign account. State Bonds are firm and more inquired for. The Miscellaneous and Coal list are all steady. The Gold Boom was depressed this morning by peace rumors and the fact that large amounts of cotton are on the way to this port.

NEWS ITEMS. NEW YORK, Jan. 31. The principal topic of discussion at present is the increased quota of the city. Many hard words are used, and all efforts thus far for correction are ineffectual. The Post says the shipment of goods from New York to Matamoras has gudden- lyand rapidly increased. Twenty-three clearances were made for that port in the month just ended. It is thought that most of the goods shipped are for rebel use. The vessels sail under a British register. The Time's Paris letter says : Secession ist papers are trying to create irritation over the Mexican resolutions of Winter Davis. The latest papers of the Federal side have modified their tone. They alVshow that they desire Mr. Seward to remain in effee to carry out his policy of non-inter vention and conciliation. The Times' Washington special says : The Committee of Ways and Means have received the report of the sub-committee upon the tax bill. They have not ma terially altered the schedulo of the tax bill, simply perfecting it, with a view to its proper administration in regard to tax on crude and manufactured petroleum. They have not changed a letter, and only im posed a very slight change on crude pe troleum. The Post-office Committee have before them a proposition to bridge the Ohio Ri"er at Cincinnati. It is believed the Senate will not adopt the amendment of the Finance Commit tee, fixing the duty on paper at fifteen cents. The Herald's Washington special says : It ia understood in the Senate that the Military Committee will soon report the bill for the assignment or dismissal of un employed Generals and officers. FROM RICHMOND PAPERS. The Richmond Enquirer complains that that the rebel soldiers are not paid prompt ly, while the President, Cabinet and Con gress draw their pay as fast as due. It says the first claims on the country should be the soldiers' 'pay. They ought to be the first claimants, and if there be any short coming let other classes divide it be tween them, We could do infinitely bet ter without the whole State Department and all its employees than without one sin gle company ot one of our regiments. We could dispense with the whole Cabinet far better than dispense with an equal number of soldiers in the field. If there is any scarcity of money let the soldiors be paid first. The Sentinel says desertions from the Yankee army have increased greatly of late. CAN'T SEE IT. The Examiner considers the danger to the Confederacy at an end, and thinks the Union armies have done their worst It says : We have at least the hope and pros pect of a good military administration, and believe the opening campaign will again find our best generals, Lee, Johnston and Beauregard, in a position to render service to their country. They will find the coun try in a far better condition for defonso than it was a year ago. : With his base on the sea Sherman is far less formidable than with his base at Chattanooga and Nashville. FROM REBELDOM. The Richmond Sentinel, of tbe 28th, Bays : It was a matter of pleasurable remark yesterday that the President and Vice Presidenf had been engaged in a long con versation on public affairs. The Mobile Argus publishes a letter denying the report of the death of General Price. The writer obtained the facts from a person who left Price's headquarters on December 8th. The rebel House of Representatives has passed resolutions authorizing the President to appoint Commissioners to look after late operations of the Cotton Bureau of the Trans-Mississippi Department. Members from the Trans-Mississippi States made charges of immense fraud on the part of the officials in the cotton trade with the Yankees, and argued that an investigation was needed. The bill limiting exemptions was passed, and a bill was introduced to prevent gold speculation. GEN. MOSBY'S WOUND NEARLY HEALED. The Lynchburg Virginian gayg : Mosby will be in the saddle again by the first of February, his wound being nearly healed. GENERAL PRICE'S ARMY. A letter in the Galveston News says that General Price designed wintering at Wash ington, Arkansas. Price said he brought one brigade of recruits out of Missouri. Tbe balance of these who reported to him, however, deserted when they found he was not to remain in the State. Thealetter says his army is much scat tered and sadly in need of discipline. Price himself is somewhat cast down in conse quence of the result of big raid. BALTIMORE, Jan. 31. REBEL COMMISSIONERS. There is reason to believe that Rich mond papers of Monday contain an ex plicit statement of the departure of com missioners for Washington. WASHINGTON, Jan. 31. ARMY OF THE POTOMAC. A letter from the Army of the Potomac says: : There is nothing to report except the arrival within our lines of squads of de- setters daily, who report stories of want and demoralization prevailing in the rebel ranks. THE CHRISTIAN COMMISSION. PHILADELPHIA, Jan. 31. The Academy of Music was filled to night in commemoration of the third Ad versary of the Christian Commission. By the statement of the work of the Commission for the past year it appear the Commission has received $2,882,347, and on January 1st there was $5,420 in the Treasury. Addresses were made by General risk Rev. B. W. Chedlow, A. D. Richardson, of the New York Tribune, and others. Much enthusiasm prevailed. " ! : NO ARRIVAL AT ANNAPOLIS. BALTIMORE, Jan. 31. A dispatch from Annapolis to-night says there has been no arrival from James river, and no prospect of to- MORE ABOUT PEACE. The World's Washington letter, of the 30th, says there is more in Mr. Blair's mission to Richmond than the public is ready to believe. The statement that Mr. Blair carried to and brought from the rebel capital propositions for consideration, if not terms of peace itself, is fully confirmed by Mr. Seward. The terms proposed are on the rebel side, separation and independence on the part of the Federal Government, submis sion to Union ; and it will not be surpris ing if we have speedy news that the com missioners are on their way to Washing- ion 10 attempt peace negotiations, upon terms known to have been , proffered by Mr. Lincoln to Davis. Yesterday Evening's Edition. REBEL CONGRESS. NEW YORK, Jan. 31. In the rebel House last Thursday, there was an interesting debate on the bill to put ,7 - -rv . 1 1 1 . Binvaa luhu tut) army, xjuriar me aeuate Jeff. Davis was severely denounced by memoers. Mr. Turner, of North Carolina, said he looked upon the bill as a project to arm the slaves. Tbe President had declared in favor of it. When he getg them in the army as teamsters and cooks he can make them drill or perform any other duty. He would be willing to surrender the slaves far independence. The only objection he had to making soldiers of slaves was that they would not fight on our side. They would prove the enemy's best allies in ac complishing our overthrow and destruc tion. Mr. Turner said the country had been too long and too often deluded and deceived by Presidential pians.projects and prophesies. No one of his prophesies had been fulfilled. No one pf his projects or plans had proved successful. tet the President proposes new and dangerous schemes with unabated confidence in his own judgment. When Susanna, Corporal Trim and the servants sat down by the kitchen fire for a talk Corporal Trim said he had been so often deceived in his own judgment that he now had doubts of its accuracy when he knew he was right. The President had been much oitener deceived in his judgment than the corporal, and it is tine he had learned some mistrust of his judgment. He must not look for an un limited support either from Congress or the country, when he proposes the wild and mad scheme of arming the slaves. The country was beginning to learn that all the Abolitionists were not in the North, and our own President bad proposed abo lition in a way that created suspicion as to his soundness. Mr. Turner said it was time that Con gress should express their opinion upon -arming slaves, and stamp upon it the in delible stigma of public abhorrence. Mr. Leach, of North Carolina, said he was unutterably opposed to such a measure. He believed that the day on which such a policy was adopted would sound the doath knell ol our cause. It -vould make a St. Domingo of our land. Others from South Carolina and else where expressed similar views. The question was not disposed ot. The rebel papers gay that General Kirby Smith, commanding the rebel Trans-Mississippi Department, hag repeatedly refused to comply with the orders from Richmond directing bim to transfer hia troops to the east side of the Mississippi river. The opponents of Jeff. Davis among his owu people grow bitter daily in their de nunciation oi him, and it is admitted that his humiliation was the design of Congress ional action to place Lee at the head of the armies. The Union raiding forae up the Chowan river, North Carolina, in tbe direction of Weldon, is said to number between 6,000 and 10,000 men, including infantry, caval ry and artillery. General Beauregard contradicts the re ports that Union meetings have been held in Georgia. FROM NEW YORK. NEW YORK, Jan. 31. The Herald's Fort Fisher correspondent says: The total casualties in General Terry's army in the fight at Fort Fisher were 691. Of these 11 officers and 77 men were killed, 39 officers and 472 men wounded, and 92 men missing. A Herald Washington special says : The War Department at Washington has been notified of the arrival of the rebel Congress man Henry 8. Foote within tbe lines of Sheridan's army at Winchester, Va. It is said that the evidence of the cession of the Northern States of Mexico to Louis Napoleon by Maximilian has been on file in the office of the French Legation at Washington for gome months past. It is also announced that Mr. Druyn de L'Huys, Napoleon's Minister of State, has asked Secretary Seward for an explanation of the recent Congressional censure of the policy of Mr. Lincoln's administration iu regard to Mexico. The Herald's correspondent, dating near Petersburg, December 28, learns that the recent rebel Tarn movement on the ames was deeper in design than appeared on the face of it The rams were to move down the river just as they did to destroy our pontoons. Signals, rockets, c, were to be sent, by which means intelligence was to be conveyed to General Lee that the pon toon part ot the business had been accom plished. After destroying the pontoons, the rams were to prevent reinforcements being sent from the south to the north eide of the James. Simultaneously with the above, Lee was to commence a dashing surprising attack on General Ord'g lines on the north side of the James, having massed a heavy force in front of them for that pur pose, and attempt by overwhelming num bers, and the suddenness and brilliancy of the attack, the destruction of that part of Grant g army. FROM NEW YORK. NEW YORK, Jan. 31. The World's Washington special says: Notwithstanding the assertions of the Richmond papers to tbe contrary, General Singleton did not leave that city until Saturday last, arriving here to-day. This evening he was in consultation with the President. It is understood he mainly confirms Blair's story that the rebel lead en are not at present prepared to negotiate on the basis of submission to tne Union. Tbey have sent no commissioners this way. A rumor was in circulation last nivht in and about the Evening Exchange Room that the rebel Peace Commissioners were on their way to Washington. Gold opened at 210, fell to 204, and Closed ftt 206.

They have an entire division sta tioned there. One division of rebel cavalrv has been aent to Texas, with orders to be dismount ed for infantry service. Kir by bmith's headquarters are still at Shreveport, but there is no considerable body of troops garrisoning them. The main body of Price's old army is reported to be at Falton, on the npper Red River, near the border of the Indian coun try, suffering all the horrors of cold and nakedness, having comeback from their re cent campaign very poorly supplied with the necessaries they anticipated getting there. Pagin g and Parson's brigades are sta tioned at Camden, Ark. They compose all the troops cf Frice'a army tbat have re turned to the place from where the Mis souri expedition originally set out. Deser tions were very frequent from theio de moralized force. The New Orleans cotton market is un settled and at a stand still. Middling 85c. Sugar and Molasses are in light gupply. Superfine Flour $11,25. The Memphis BnUeti says the steamers Chippewa and Annie Jacobs, two of the fleet whictt went up the Arkansas River to t ort smith, were captured and burned at White Oak Shoal.

Captain Clark, 4th Missouri Rebel Cav alry, entered Danville, with forty men, on Sunday at nine o'clock, swapped horses with several citizens, shod several of tbeir own horses, helped themselves to boots, and departed. They were followed by Captain Bndgewater, with 70 or 80 men, who over took them about four miles from Harrods- burg, where a fight occurred. Two rebels killed, four or five wounded, and several taken prisoners. Two of Brideewater's men were wounded but none killed. Major Jones with iOO men is reported within nine miles of Elizabethtown.

The annual report of revenue for Great Britain for 1864, is published. The am ount raised by taxation is 70,125,374 or about $350,000,000 from the following sources : Customs ..S22,S35,000 Piet oSlce 14,060,000 Crown Landa VI i v Miscellaue ona. 3,151,874 Eiciao 1S,.h.!,i00 Stampe ,lfc,ouo Tax.. 3,2tl,0OU Property and lacomeTax 7,09,000 TofU 7l),l-26,J74 The customs fell off 886,000 from the proceeding year, and tha property tax in creased 1,897,000 ; but the excise gained 1,508,000, tbe post-office 260,000 and stamps 25,000. The aggregate increase in all branches was 308,000 lor the year. The London Observer thus comments on the above results : The total revenue ia a marvellous re sult, when we consider that the reductions in the income tax and in the tea and sugar duties, and Some smaller tomioeiopa ol tax ation, guch as the half of the insurance duties and other little matters. There U every encouragement to proceed in the same direction, with only tbe difficulty that indirect taxation is now confined to a very few articles, the smaller ones being almost gwept away, and the smuggler being almost unheard ol . A succession ot years oi suc cess and prosperity shows that we can al most securely rely upon an income of over seventy millions sterling, while a constant ly redveed expenditure proves that we are ' not likely to need so much. The Great West. A trip of a thousand miles throngh the heart of the Wast awakens a kindling thought of the greatness of the Republic. The West is the Empire : a fact unacknow ledged in the East, because the East knows not the West. But an imperial traveler soon perceives that the East is not the country. New York and New England are but the thumb and forefinger; the West is the rest of the hand. x A Western visit in summer is best for seemg the country ; in winter, best lor see ing the people. And are they not the heartiest, friendliest, most hospitable of tbe human race 7 What a "Scotch welcome" may be, we know not; but if better than a Western welcome, it is better than a plain man desires. Jostle a Westerner in tbe street, and at once you are acquaintances . meet him next day, and jou are old friends A shake of the hand in tbe West has mon gripe in it than between New York and Bangor. Child of the East, the Weet ii the chief crown of the parent. The uni versal New England element westward it not only the best part of New England for only the courageous, the energetic, and the conquering have had tLe will to qui; Eastern homes for Western prairies. Tnm the early pilgrims to New England hav their truest sons tn the later pilgrims iron: New England. A Yankee, therefore does not,come to his fullest stature in Yan keeland ; the grown Yankee ia the West erner.
