ADAMS AXE EsRL RUSSELL. The following summary of the itifportant •oriespondencj which has 'takf-n place be tween Mr. 'Adams, the American Minister, and Earl Russell, ia relation to the responsi bility of England for the ravages committed upon American Commerce by vessels titled out in England, will be very acceptable to our readers. On the Ttb oi April last, Mr. Adams addressed a letter to Earl Russell, calling his attention to the office! reports re specting the ravages of the Shendndoab, and inlnwns him that his government c mid avow holding Great Britainj responsible for the damage committed. On the Gth ot May, E ir’ Raised responded by saying that the duties of Great Britain toward the United States are not measured by the losses which the commerce of the latter may have sustained. That the question is simply wiiethtr the British Government have faith fully and honestly performed, tho duties which international laws and their own mu- nicipal laws impose upon them. Mr. Adams replies. May 4th, that the in surgents became belligerents on the ocean solely by reason of the facilities furnished in her Majesty’s ports for them to do so, and complains of the secret sympathy of her Majesty’s officers in the port ot Liverpool, and contends that after the information ■which he supplied resnecting the Alabama, it was by the flagrant neg igence of her Ma jesty’s Board of Customs, that this vessel, admitted to be intended for war purposes, was suffered to depart from Liverpool. Three months thereafter, Earl Russell re plies, by justifying the course of her Ma jesty’s Government in recognizing the belli gerents, and reasons are given why there was extreme difficulty in giving orders to ex clude from British ports vessels of war, part lyfitted up in the United Kingdom. Ear* Russell notices a statement ia a letter from Mr. Adams, in 1863, as to tho Government of Washington being ready to refer these 1 disputes to arbitration. E ir. Russell declines this otfer, and says I 1* is a question, in tho first piaca, whether j the Queen’s Government have acted in good faith in maintaining their neutrality; in the second place, whether the law officers of the crown have correctly interpreted a British statute. Earl Russel) continues: “The Queen’s Government can refer neither of these questions to arbitration.” The rep’y of Mr. Adams is dated the 18th September, and says there is now no dispute as to the fact that the recognition of the South as belligerents was such an act as was never done by one nation towards another in a state of amity. Ho charges the British government with having acted without knowledge and upon mere presumption in assuming that the evidence of tha blockade of the southern ports wta imperfect. The blockade, he says, was the consequence, not the cause, of Blush policy. He thinks that the ntiiy excuse for the British govern ment is that its conduct was precipitate.— He then intimates that if the doctrines and practices of tye British government ate al lowed to become the rule, the United States will not.be the greatest loser thereby. Mr. Adams does not appear to think that the pro posal of Earl Russell to refer the questions in dispute to a commission will by accepted by the United S ates government. XUe National Thanksgiving Day. The telegraph erroneously aonounced a few days since, that the President had set apart the first Tiiuisday 0, November as a clay of national thanksgiving. Finding no men tion of it in any of cur Northern files, we doubted the truth of tue report, and had •oocluded to disregard the unsupported,state ment of the telegram altogether. We find that wo took the correct view of the matter. The dispatches of our New York corres pondent, rec.-iyep at a late hour last night, contain the Proclamation, in full, of the Presideat, setting a part the first Thursday of December, instead of November, as the tele gram had it, for a National Thanksgiving. Tue Freedhen and tub Ska Island*.—A delegation from Florida was in Washington on the 24th nit., urg'mg the suspension oftho order to Gen. Howard as to the occupation of the Sea Islands. They want the freedmen kept there temporarily till all arrangements can be made for their transmission for the State of Florida, where their labor is much needed by the planters. Meeting of I sternal Rkvesce Assessors at Albany.—The United States Internal Revenue Assessors trom the New England States, New York, New Jersey, and a por tion of those from Pennsylvania and Ohio met at Albany < a the 24th. The object o’ the meeting appt ars to be lor the purpose of making such recommendations to the next Congress as the practical application of the present law has rendered necessary to make it more uniform and simplify it s working Contention of the Fu»st Senatorial Dis trict. —The Convention of the First Seua- District, which includes Chatham Bryan and Eifingbam counties, will be held on Wednesday, the Bth instant^for the pur pose of nominating a candidate for Senator from the District.

Id the remarks we have made our object ha* been principally expository, uuder the separate head* ol Currency, Revenue, |Publie Debt and Taxation. With the view to the inote intelligent comprehension of these topics, iu AmJt mutual connexion, we present ,o abstract aud recapitulation of those re marks— V*rre*cg. There is but one mode that a paper currency issued in excess admits of. being restored to a level of value with gold ! and silver aa circulating medium, and that is l»y a reduction of its volume. We have stated hat in this process some regaid must be bad to the amount ot taxation, and to the exist ing scale of prices. With the receipts from internal taxes amounting on the daily average to one million of dollars, and with gold at a premium of 47 per cent, indicating a eorces ,.undent advance in the range of prices gtn j traiiy, it would be Impossible, except in the 1 most gradual manner, to resume specie-pav oiems. A too sudden resumption would be attended by tbe disturbance of all pecuniary arrangements Pir»l, as to taxes. If wa continue to coi led nom tbe people one million of dollars pel- day in taxes, and contract the cuirulicy as to bring the paper to a level oi value with gold, it would seem impracticable lor the poople to pay Uicir taxes. Large quanti fies of property must come uuder execution for their payment. As regards the geueral range ot prices, they continue from 40 to 50 per cent beyoud the gold Blaudard. Ail pecuniary contracts have been adjusted according to the existing scalo of values. Engagements could uot be met with prices reduced from 40 to 50 per cent. Pauic, collapse, bankruptcy must fol low. With a paper currency depreciated only 25 per cent during the war of 1812, the banks were uot able to resume specie pay ments before 1817, having suspended iu 1813, and then not without great pecuniary em barrassment, from the reaction ot high to low prices. Besides in connecting prices with tho state of tho currency regard is not bad, as we be fore stated, to tbe various forms of credit, such as promissory notes, bills of exchange, hook debts, Ac. Ac., iu their iuflueuce ou prices. It is only ou this principle—the influence of credit ou prices tbe fact admits of explana liou, that wiule at periods in the history ot Euglaud in wbtfcb there was great extension of credit, -leading to its übuse, the notes of the Bauk of England have, uot only not un dergone diminution, hut have increased, with a fall of prices iu tbe one case, aud a rise ot prices in the other. The source of this evil has been tbu too tree use of deposits. Tbe suspension of specie payments iu the United States iu 1857 arose horn the same cause—tbe too true use of their deposits by the New York banks, the extension of tbe system of credit, and tbe consequent ad vance of prices. So it would be with the Na tional banks if not restrained. Unless, therefore, the Secretary of the Trea sury can devise some plan by which the Na tional banks can be restrained from a too tree use of their deposits they will be an ob ! htacle to the resumption ot specie payments, j They will hold out inducements to saccula tion and keep up the price of gold, 1 1 com mon with that in commodities generally. Mr. James Gallatin, the President of the New York National bank, in his report as Chairman of the Committee appointed by New Y’ork banks to consider the subject of Central Redemption notices the inclination of the Nutioual banks towards the too tree use of deposits, inviting them by offeriug de positors interest, and calls on the Secretary of the Treasury to uso his influence in check ing such abuse. Now as little interference as possible with the administration of banks generally is a sound piinciple of policy, but the National baukg were instituted with a special view to the control of the currency. Congress has limited their issues to three hundred millions of dollars, and compelled them to deposit public securities with tho treasury as among tile necessary means of that control, but to modify the act making provision against that other form of abuse, the use of deposits is no less necessary. Any improper interference would be an aggravation of tho evils of an irredeemable paper currency. Still interference to a cer tain extent is both necessary and aalutary. It might be Inexpedient, for example, was the Secretary of the Treasury to place gold on tbu market as the most certain mode to restrain an advance in its price. Speculation by such means might be checked, and infla tion prevented, but at the same time, as ob served by Mr. Gallatin, the chock would be removed against the rise of the premium on foreign bills, aggravating the evils of an unfavorable foreign exchange. Still it would be a legitimate exercise of the authority given to the Secretary of the Treasury, under the act organizing tlie National banks, if a wholesome chick were placed on those hanks by a modification of the act restrain ing them, not only from exceeding a certain limit to tbeir issues, but from giving interest tor deposits, and by that means so extending the line of their discounts as to produce extended credit and inflation of prices. The other topics, Revenue, Public debt and Taxation are so blended that it is scarcely possible to separate them, except in theory. The revenue of the United Status consisted to but an inconsiderable extent, be fore the war of internal taxation. It now constitutes much the largest portion of that revenue, and the only question for the finan cier is the relative advantages of the two sys tems of direct Hnd indirect taxation, except it be the equal distribution of the burden. In relation to the first of these questions the constitution must be amended, as we have stated, before indirect taxation can be made a source of revenue, an object much more important than the amendment of that in strument abolishing slavery, it having been in fact abolished by all the States. Let us then suppose the Constitution amended, permitting Congress to assess and collect any portion of the revenue from the exports. We have only to apply the prin ciple enunciated by us, that taxes, whether direct or indirect, fall on the producer or cousumer in accordance with the law of de mand and supply. If export duties should be made to take the place of import duties, generally, a considerable part of our reveuue may be raised from our exportable products. Nearly all those products are scarce in foreign countries, particularly cottoo and tobacco—in other words the supply greatly fulls short of the demand. As regards the probably amount to be raised by export duties we can only reach the resu t by distant approximation. It is our impres sion that it would be considerable. Let ns suppose that export duties should not ex ceed one-third ot our estimated expenditure, should that expenditure not be reduced be’ low three hundred millions ol dollars, au nuuliy, the largest proportion of the revenue we now raise by internal taxation, could be derived from duties on exports. Such duties would fall almost exclusively on the foreign cousutut-is of our agricultural products in the ratio that the demand exceded the supply, As regwa,, our system of internal taxation, .■ “ would enable Congress to WlUl 8 Ur K u “bare of the direct, hi*o. source of revenue to the i»u*. and Municipalities. cou lames'with .

A heavy robbery was committed at j Columbus on tbe 23d ult. upon the store of Cooper & Crawford. The safe, containing s4oo iu currency, some silver and other val uables was carried off bodily.broken open and rifled. Brigadiei General Grosvenor, com manding at Augusta, went to bis borne in Ohio recently and is now ou bis way back to Augusta. He was defeated for a seat in tbe Senate of Ohio. Wendell Phillips is New York —The N. Y. Herald, of the 21st ult., says: Tbe Cooper Institute was crowded last evening by an audience assembled to hear Mr. Wendell Phillips re-deliver bis Boston lecture on tbe “South Victorious.” He was attentively listened to and frequently ap plauded, save iu one instance, where, hear ing hard upon President Johnson and bis plan of reconstruction, lie drew forth a stormy manifestation of disapproval. This was, however, overcome by the applause and j cheers of the majority. With this exception i nothing interrupted the hHrtnony of tho meeting Mr. Seward’s speech at Auburn and Mr. Beecher’s late sermon were both se verely crilicised and condemned. Tbe Tribune says: Wendell Phillips lectured characteristical ly in Cooper Institute last evening, giving forcible utterance to many pungent truths, yet saying much that is unwise, and some things that are not true. Bearing in mind that in 1860 he Called Mr. Lincoln “the Illi nois slave-bouud,” aud would, had his ad vice been ioliowed by all who are earnest anti-Slavcry, have elected a Democrat in 18G0, and McClellan in 1664, we think his counsels should be well weighed before they are followed, even hy those who admire his genius, enjoy bis eloquence, and have laith in his desire to be right. Asoriii.ii Fewale or the Rostrum.—A Sirs. Hoffman, described as “an elderly lady who wears ringlets,” essayed a few days since at Metropolitan Hall, New Yolk, to discuss “the Diatna and ils influence, Wo men’s Rights, &e.” She was particularly sweet upon the theatrical profession, claim ing that the surest way to make the stage pernicious aud immoral Was to denounce it. Iu proof of which she mentioned the humble origin of several well known actors and actresses : Barney Williams, she said, was a regular “dock walloper; “Forrest was an errand boy ; Charlotte Cushman was a sewing girl; another actor was a pill-maker; Laura Keene was a pretty waiter girl in a saloon in London, and could make a gin cocktail as well as any one. She mentioned the origtml occupation of several other prominent actors and actresses, which wi re of a kindred char acter to those mentioned above. The lecturer described how Adam and Eve were thed ogee, and hand in hand and arm in arm, lay down upon the sand, and in this condition were visited, first by the archangel Michael, and afterwards by the devil. An Italian Delegation interceding fob Jefferson Davis. —On the 21«i inst. an Italian Committee, all of whom were resi dents of New York, waited on President Johnson, in order to present ltis Excellency a petition which had been sent them hy it Committee in Milon, who have for their ob ject the "Abolition of Capital Punishment.” The petition asks for Executive clemency in the case of Jeff. Davis, aud says : We can not understand why tlie American Uniou should be less sure either of its greatness or its integrity, if, to so much bloodshed duriug the war, this one drop more, coldly spilled in peace, should be added. Davis from his scaffold would say : “Theu I make you tremble.’’ The President was exceedingly surprised on becoming aware of tlie uuture of’he document, which bore the signatures nf three huudrtd and seventy-three individu als, among whom was Oeu. G.trrihuidi. Organized Resistance to Taxation.—A correspondent, writing from Clearfield, Pa., tells a very doubtful story about an organ ized band, who iuleud to resist the bounty tiX in that State. “It is uothing,” he says, ‘to sec trom SO to 1(H) men drilling in the woods, and they are all armed with Spencers and sixteen shooters, navies and sabres. It is their intention to burn the buildings of ail those who had anything to do with laying on the bounty tux.” He says further, that he knows of “two powder mills in the woods in this county, and they are going to carry tbethingona big serin." The first thing they intend doing is to “cipture Petersburg and get the artillery there.” Thk Bishop of Arkansas and his Sinolb Prk&bvtek. —The Bishop of Arkansas, now si.ting In the House of Bishons at Philadel phia,lias but one presbyter in that State. The spectacle presented when the diocesan con vention of Arkansas is held—the Bishop pre siding and the priest officiating as Secretary and convention —recalls the story of the ser vice which Dean Swift conducted, where lie had liis clerk for audience ; the Dean, in no wise disconcerted, beginning the office thus: "Dearly beloved brother Roger! The Scripture moveth its iu sundry places to ac knowledge and confess our manitold sins and wickedness,' &c. A fellow recently decamped from a Phila delphia hotel without going through the usual formula of payiug his board bill, when the landlord, iearniug the whereabouts of tbe delinquent, sent him the following note : “Mr. Dear Sir: Will you please send amouut of your bill, and oblige,” Ac. To which the wretch promptly made answer: “The amouut is eighty "dollars, sixty-two aud a-half cents. Yours, respectfully.” Anxious to see it. —There is said to be now in this city, two gentlemen, one of them a former Conlederale Brigadier Ueneral, who came all the way troth their homes, a dis tance of oue hundred and seventy miles, for the express purpose of seeing the Circus.

Should an Amnesty Oath he Stamped.— The United States Assessors at Atlanta, Ga., asks Commissioners of Internal Revenue whether the certificate ol an officer to the amnesty oath of an ex-rebel should be stamp ed. The commissioner decides that such certificate, whether the oath be taken before a civil or military officer, requires a stamp, which should be caucellcd by the persou taking the oath.
