squarely." But meet it squarely, or in a round about way, the result is still the same. The ex- pense of collecting the revenue will cat it up. To make the Morrill tariff meet this expense of collection, war and the support of the Government, it will be prohibitory. And then comes losses, direct taxation and rebellion. As to opening the Northern ports free of duties, imagine the howl that will greet such a proposition from the manufacturing districts of Pennsylvania and New England! "Ion," the intelligent Washington corres- pondent of the Baltimore Sun, justly says: "If it had been a stratagem of the secessionists to deprive the Lincoln Government of all sources of revenue, and to enrich the exchequer of the Southern Confederation, it would be regarded as a very admirable stroke of policy. But it obtained no votes from that class of politicians. The Southern Confederate States have. however. availed themselves of the act, and have been enabled by it to establish a hi

lately, to convince them that the city is not secure. The attack will be made, in all probability, before the first of July. Preparations to meet it to do not seem to me to be adequate. New York papers declare, every now and then, that Washington is now impregnable. How can that be, when there is not a fort or entrenchment within twenty miles of it? There has not yet been used a spade or shovel anywhere in the neighborhood of the city for military defence. No prospect of Peace. "Ion" writes from Washington to the Baltimore Sun, May 17: Some few of the Union journals commend to the attention of the coming Congress the interests of peace, and this suggestion is promptly denounced as "next door to treason." There is not, however, the least foundation for any fear that the interests of peace will find a single advocate among the representatives from the Northern States, with the exception possibly of California. That State, remote from the scene of civil strife, and h

they be of a little interest to the numerous readers of your vainable paper, I take the liberty, in accordance with your general request, to write to you. Thursday, the 13th, was observed with more than usual solemnities. Our German military companies turned out in full uniforms and with full ranks, and marched to the Institute (Secession) Hall, where an oration was delived by the Rev. L. Muller, Pastor of the German Lutheran Church, of this city — Subject: The duty of German citizens to their adopted country. A casual observer here would not for a moment think war was existing between North and South, everything is so quiet. We have splendid weather, and the city is enjoying uncommon good health. A schooner arrived here on Saturday afternoon, which was ordered off by the blockading fleet, and the captain put about for New York, but as night came on he again changed his course, and ran into Stono safely, from whence he came through Wapoo Cut to the city.

he Prussian and Brazilian Ministers are scarcely less grieved than Lord Lyons, and the Russian Minister is stated to have said that the people of his country would not only be grieved, but astounded at our overthrow as a nation. Owing to my being in Baltimore last night, I am not fully posted to-day. I am told that the unanimous disposition of the Crisis Committee to do any and everything that can be done to save the Union is hailed as a favorable augury. On the other hand, I see that "Ion," of the Baltimore Sun--a man not easily thrown off his balance — says that not much good may be expected from the action of Congress this session, and thinks that the guarantees demanded by the South, to be of any avail, must be granted by a Constitutional Convention of all the States. One thing is equally certain now to us all, North as well as South--that something must be done which will put a final stop to these quadrennial crises. Can that something be done? I think not; but wise men

l Square, where they went through quite a fatiguing exercise, which was witnessed by a large concourse of people, including a very large number of the fair sex, who, by their sweet smiles and bright looks, encouraged the Zouaves to do their best, which they certainly did, and everybody was much pleased with the precision with which the different commands were executed. Several other companies will soon leave here for the seat of war. Major McCready is raising a battalion, of which one company is already in camp and another organizing. They are made up mostly of Irishmen, and if I can judge by the looks of them, they will give Lincoln's hirelings a hard knock whenever they may meet. We are all expecting stirring news soon from your neighborhood; but there seems to be only one feeling as to the result of any battle, and that is, God being on our side, we need not be afraid of any of the thieves and murderers that chief of robbers, Lincoln, may send against our armies.

From Washington. "Ion" writes from Washington to the Baltimore Sun (July 26) as follows: The public appear to have recovered, in part, from the shock produced by the disaster of Sunday. But in Congress yesterday the subject was treated in plain terms. Senator Wilson did not hesitate to pronounce it a total rout, and to indicate one of its prominent causes, the incompetency of officers in command. A bill is now before Congress proposing a remedy for this defect; while, in the mean time, the War Department has provided a preventive by the creation of a military board for the examination and approval of all officers prior to their being commissioned. The disaster also finds an explanation though not an apology, in the declaration of General Scott that for once he had yielded his judgment to the politicians who beset him, and permitted the army to be led, unprepared, into battle. The same sort of untoward influence still exists, and will hamper any commander, or c

ich present us the following summary of news from various points: From Washington. troops from the North and Northwest--experience of the war of 1812--relation of the Northwestern States to the Union--exports of Domestic Produce, &c. "Ion" writes from Washington to the Sun as follows: Urgent calls for more troops are made by public men in the North, and also in the Northwest. It is proposed that New York should increase her quota to a hundred thousand men. It is a matter of cartial failure of the harvest there. Tobacco is to bear good prices the coming year. The tobacco growers of Maryland, Kentucky, and Missouri, and some other non-seceded States, may find a good market for their staple. War expenditures. "Ion" again writes: The war expenditures are now stated, upon Government authority, to be eight and a half millions a week. The naval preparations, and the extensive military movements in the West have, no doubt, cost more than was ex pected; an

Expenses of the Yankee Government. --"Ion," the Washington correspondent of the Baltimore American, says that the war expenses of the Yankee Government are now stated, "upon Government authority," to be eight and a half millions per week, of $442,000,000 per annual. The ordinary Government expenses will reach $,000,000 at le00,000 at this rate, amounts to $88,000,000. Pretty good work this for one year of war. As some little anxiety is felt to learn how his interest is to be met, "Ion" condescends to last all inquirers know that if the war should continue several years, the Yankee war debt will not be greater, in proportion to their ability to pa heavier debt than the two most heavily burthened nations of which there is any account in all history, labor under from the wars and ambition of two centuries. As "Ion" proceeds his generalities grow into particulars. At first he tells us that the Yankees can sustain this war for "several" years without incurring a debt greater i
