Washington, Sunday, June 11.
The Navy Department has received the fol
lowing information of the capture of the de
fences of Sabine Puss, the entrance to Galves
ton, Texas:
New Orleans, La.,'May 31, 18G5.
Sir : I have the honor to inform the Depart
ment that a dispatch, under date of the 23th
inst., was this day received from Capt. B. F.
Sands, respecting the evacuation of the de
fences of JSabine’Pass, Forts Mannahassett and
Griflin.
Acting Volunteer Lieut. Commander Pen
nington hoisted the United States dag on these
forts. The guns, five in number, were spiked.
Fort GrHfin is described as having live bomb-
proofs, covered with two feet of solid timber,
two layers of railroad iron, and four feet of earth
on top. There were four maguzincs of like
construction. Lieut. Commander Pennington
leaving force enough to hold the forts, retired
to his vessel, leaving the American flag flying.
Capt. Sands, under date of the 27th of May,
reports the rebel army of Texas have generally
disbanded and gone home, and the terms of
surrender recently executed in New Orleans
between the rebel commanders sent by General
Kirby Smith and General Canby, having been
complied with on the part of the rebels, it only
remains for us to occupy the fortifications.
With regard to the rebel naval forces in Texas,
I am assured by the Confederate Lieutenant
Commander, Jonathan Carter, who is now here,
and declares himself to be the senior naval
officer, that there is no naval property nor any
officers in Texas on the seaboard, aud only one
vcssol in the Red River—the ram Missouri—
which will be surrendered to the commander of
the Mississippi squadron.

TWO ARGENTINE STEAMERS CAP'
TIRED.
[From the Xaw York Tribune, of tho 12th.]
By an arrival from Buenos Ayres, bringing
dates to tho 27tb of April, we learn that tbo for
ces of Paraguay had invaded Corrientee, one of
the Province* or States of tho Argentine Repub
lic, and had burprised and captured two armed
steamers of tbe latter government on the River
Parana The invasion was made without notice,
and in direct opposition to article eight of the
treaty between tho two governments, by which it
was fo mally agreed that, should any cause of war
spring up between tho Governments, six monthj
notice should be given boforo anj' overt act- of
hostility should bo committed. In tho capture of
one of the steamers, called tho Twenty-fifth of
May, all the officers and crew, numbering about 50
men, were, with tho exception ot five or six who
jumpoi overboard,killed, it is alleged in cold blood.
War now exists between Paraguay on the one
hand and Brazil, the Argentine Republic and the
Oriental Republic on the other. Paraguay has a
population of about i,300,000, and though nomi
nally a repubiio is in fact un absoluto despotism,
the so-called President, Francisco Solano Lopez,
following in the footsteps of bis father, who was a
fit successor of tho Dictator Francia. The army
is nominally 00,000 mon, and the na7y consists of
twelve river steamers—both army and navy hav
ing the advantage of a number of European offi
cers, aa well as of natives educated in Europe,
through whose instrumentality, it is thought,
they arc well supplied with modern arms and mu
nitions of war. The character of the people,
however, is not at all warlike, and the account we
rcceivo from tho town of Corriontes, [capital of
the proviuce,) that the Paraguayan fleet in pass
ing the town, whioh is on the banks of tho IJivdr
Parana, opened fire upon it, and fired off most of
their ramrods, which were picked up in the btTeets
of tho town, is not improbable. I'he three Gov
ernments united against Paraguay have a popu
lation of about 9,000,000, with a navy of ninety
sailing and steam vessels, chiefly Brazilian, and
including some two or three iron-clads. What
success, if any, tho Paraguayans may achieve
from taking tho initiative < annot be forreen, but
it is very certain that it can bo but temporary,
and that tbe war will end by their overthrow, a
result which will be an immense gain to the peo
ple of Paraguay and to their neighbors, if it leads
to a more liberal and civilized Government, as it
can hardly fail to dt*.
Additional itefts, perhaps of iuterest, are that
the Argentine Republic had sent N. dc la Ries
tra to liogland to arrange fora loan of £1,500,000
f’eriin”: effect o r .tfio *»**~fc W
Tn tfae'Jipor money of Buenos Ayros was to cause
an advanco in tbe price of silver dollars from
25 paper dollars, the previous price, to $27.75
paper.
It may be an item also to notice that Paraguay
is now said to be mainly ruled by a, woman
picked up by Lopez in the streets of London—a
curious whirligig of iortuoo

BUSINESS AND TRADE KKYTVING—RE
MOVAL OF MILITARY RESTRIC
TIONS—TIIE RECENT EX
PLOSION.
[From the Mobile News of the 8th.j
Business and Trade.
It affords us pleasure to notice the advanc
ing strides which trade is again taking in this
city, A few short weeks ago and we had, in
a business point of view, seven Sundays in a
week, but affairs have taken a great change,
and for the better. The change of currency
and tl>e stringency of the military organiza
tions made it at first somewhat difficult to ef
fect any mercantile transactions of any note,
ami such persons as could run in goods and
provisions of any kind found ready sale and
enormous profits; meanwhile it was discovered
that money was far more abundant than at first
supposed. The removal of military restric
tions imposed for the time being on t-ade, aud
the unsealing of the port caused at once an
immense influx of goods of all descriptions;
in fact, a cargo with ready sale as soon as
it landed. The city trade alone offered the
most tempting inducements to merchants. Day
by day new stores are being opened, and de
sirable* stocks of goods are being thrown on the
market.
The opening of the rivers and the resump
tion of business by the railroads has added
much to the trade of the city, but nothing as
yet compared to what it will be when boats
land their cargoes at the wharres of Mobile,
and said cargoes are sold in this market and
shipped thence to such other cities of tho world
as tho shippers may wish.
Commercial affairs cannot be arranged in a
day, hut we expect in a few short weeks to
note the arrival of ipany cargoes from the
North, and the flocking to the city of mer
chants and planters from the interior, and Mo
bile again assume her busy, bustling, commer
cial life.
Tlic Income Tax.
The following letter from the Commissioner
^•Internal Revenue has just been published in
relation to the income tax:
Treasohy Department, }
Office of Internal Revenue, >
Washington, May 21), I860, j
Sib: Yours of the Uth insf., inclosing the
appeal of ElbridgeT. Gerry, Esq., is Feceiyed.
Mr. Gerry objects to including in his oath the
following terms, viz:—“Or to which he is in
any manner entitled;’’ and also the term “and
is not entitled to receive.” The words which
are objected to arc applied only to income
which the affiant is entitled to receive, and can
in nowise be construed as relating to sums to
which he may be entitled, but which arc .not of
a character to constitute income.
It is unnecessary on the present occasion to
enter at length upon the consideration of the
liability to taxation of income which the tax
payer has not received but to which he has be
come entitled within the year. If Mr- Gerry
holds stock in a solvent corporation which de
clared a dividend payable in 1SG4,1 presume he
would admit his liability to taxation upon such
dividend, although he may have failed to draw
the amount until after the close of the year,
The frequent occurrence of such and similar
cases led to the insertion of the words in ques-
. tion, and when tb«*ir scope is understood you*
will probably be able to satisfy afy taxpayers
that they do not render theipselves liable to
perjury by making oath in the prescribed form,
if the bUmk ii honestly filled out.. Very re
spectfully, E. A. Rollins,

POLITICAL HISTORY.
Howell CoM>, a* a Cabinet Officer, oh
Buchanau’s Southern Proclivities.
The following interesting addition to the po
litical history of the time we find in “Occa
sional’s” letter to the Poiiadelphia Press of
yesterday:
“A few days ago a gentleman who served in
one of the Pennsylvania regiments in Sher
man’s army, handed me tho following letter,
which he picked up at Atlauta, Ga., written by
Howell Cobb while he was Secretary of the
Treasury under James Buchanan. It was ad
dressed to the editor of the Democratic paper
at Atlanta and was found in his office by my
friend. It will be seen that the editor had
taken the alarm at the.course of poor R. J.
Walker, at that time the Governor of Kansas,
appointed by Mr. Buchanan, and thought that
Atchison, the infamous Missouri ruffian, was
right in predicting that it would be impossible
to force slavery into the territory. He, there
fore, demanded of Cobb to know if the South
was to be cheated in the pleasant game. The
answer of Cobb ought certainly to form a part
of the forthcoming publication of the Sage of
Wheatland:
11 ‘Washington Citv, Augustlfi, 1857.
“ ‘Mr DbarSiu ;—I have this moment received
your letter, uud reply at once. I feared that Gen.
Atchison's letter would do harm, but I did not
expect that it would influence intelligent, wa
ter calice democrat*, such as you say hare called
at your office to give expression at their indigna
tion. What are the facts ? Gen. Atchison lives
in Missouri, and, as / am informed, has had very
little intercourse, for several months, with the
people ot Kansas. He writes a private letter
which is published for the purpose, i suppose, of
distracting the Democratic party, and which was
eviaen’ly written to show that his former predic-
t.oas that Karraas would bo no slave State, wonld
not be realized, on accouut of events she could
notcontrol; and this solitary s’atement 0: Gen.
Atchison is to be taken as conclusive evidence
that tbe pro-slavery men of Kansas condemn'
Gov. Walker against the following facts :
•'*1. The pro-Slavery and Democratic papers
of Kansas all sustain Walker.
“ ‘2. The Democratic Convention, composed of
tic»-thirJ« of pro-J5lavery men, unanimously sup
port him _ *
4 ‘3. Judge Elmore, the President of that Con
vention and one of the most decided pro-slavery
men of Kansas, sustains him
“ ‘4. Stringfellow, Isaacs, Whitfield, (late
delegate,) Woodward, and other leading and
prominent pro-slavery men of Kansas, sustain
hint.
“ ‘5. All the pro-slavery men of Kansas who
aro knoyn ; and with whom Gov. Walker has
met, without exception, are acting in conceit
and co-operation with him.
“ ‘Now, can it be possible that sensible men
will permit this overwhelming array of facts
to be silenced by the solitary letter of General
Atchison, who is not in the territory, and the
croaking of -a tew discontented spirits, \yho
write letters to the Charleston Mercury and
similar sheets? If you cannot, with these
facts, present a satisfactory argument to the
people of Georgia on this point, you are not
the man I have taken you to be. I repeat to
you that the Administration of "Mr. Buchanan
is the more thoroughly identified with our princi
ples and our rights of' any that, has ever preceded
it, aud I am willing to stand or fall upon the.
issue. As to removing Gov. Walker for any
cause now existing, it is not di earned of, and
those who intend to quit the Democratic party
on that account, can commence at once look
ing out for their quarters in the Kgow Noth
ing camp. I write in very great haste for the
next mail.
“‘Respectfully yours, &c.,

A public meeting had been held at the Taber
nacle, to prepare a suitable address to the Amer
ican nation on the assassination of President
Lincoln.
(From the Watchman.)
A little bilore the close of tbe proceedings a
number of gentlemen came into tbe meeting
from the theatre, and among them were a num
ber of “naval officers in uuitbrin,*’ and we are
sorry to remark that their conduct was very dis
graceful, as they appeared to have come fresh
from tbe rum shop. They created considerable
couiusion by their noise and clamoring to pre
vent it possible the speaker from addressing the
meeting. Several of our would be great men

ticed some of those who with their pro-sla
very principles gave an “ovation” to the pi
ratical Setnmes at the Commercial Exchange in
this c ty.
The drought was severely felt. Many cases of
hydrophobia had occurred among animals, and
the Sugar crop would be materially injured. The
Kingston Journal says;
“A frightful account has been given us by a
gentleman from St. Thomas, the East, of the
ravages of the smallpox in that parish aud the
mortality among the laboring classes. In the
interior districts, be says, the people have
been dying I ke rotten sheep, and all this, we are
assured, is unknown to the parochial authorities.
Even about Morath Bay, those alliicted with
small pox have btJen exposed on tbe highway,
there being no place provided for their reception

Surrender of Hie Rebels in Florida;
A letter to . the Cincinnati Commercial from
Macon, Georgia, saj-a:
“The rebel troops in Florida, with all the pub
lic property, wero surrendered to McCook, at .Tal
lahassee, on tho l«*th day of .May. Toe nuinner
of troops paroled and already reported is 7,2t)U,
and will, doabtle35, reach 3,min when lhe > roturns
are complete- ,
••The BrtiJbnt of properly received from the
Rebel authorities was : Ordnance stores—40
pieces artillery, 25,000 small arms, 150 sabers,
1.018 bayonets, 1,200 cartridge boxes. 710 waist
belts, 03,000 pounds lead. 2,000 artillery ammu
nition, fixed, 121,900 rounds small ammunition,
700 pounds musket balls, 225 pikes and lances,
beside large amounts ot various other ordnance
stores. Quartermaster's stores—70 horsos, SO
mules, 40 wagons, 4 ambulances, also tools of ra
rious kinds, with much stationery, clothing, and
camp aDd garrison equipage Commissary stores
—170,000 pounds bacon, 200 barrels Salt, 150
barrels sugar, 100 barrels syrup, 7,000 bushels
corn, 1,200 bead of cattle, also quantities of fLmr,
ground paas, Ac. A large amount of hospital
stores were also turned in to the medical officer,
Dr. Chapman.
“Totally unserviceable horses and mules were
either exchanged for corn or foiage, or loaned to
the citizens, subject to the order of the Federal
authorities.
“A memorandum of all the cotton in and
about Tallahassee, Tkomasville and Albany,
was taken, together with the names of claim
ants,* where, when and by whom stored, also
the marks on the bales. The schedule is to be
forwarded to the War Department. Numbers
were claiming cotton which never belonged to
them, and which they evidently could only
have taken possession of by fraud or vio
lence.
“Gen. McCook’s method was such as to dis
arm bitterness. He was cordially welcomed
by the citizens, who assured him that there
was no longer tbe least disposition among the
people of Florida to act in opposition to the
wishes of the Government, and reconciliation
and reconstruction, at the earliest possible mo
ment, were most earnestly desired.
“An interesting incident of McCook's so
journ in Florida was the restoration, for the
first time in that State since the Rebellion, of
that dear old flag, which was raised on the 12th
of May over the old Spanish fort at St. Marks,
21 miles south of Tallahassee, on the coast,
saluted as it rose with artillery and general re
joicing. At Tallahassee, over the Capitol, it
was raised on the 20th, on which occasion
were present as witnesses of the signal event,
several officers of the navy iron* the Sagamore
and Sperine, at anchor off St. Marks. At
Tallahassee the flag was saluted, as it rose,
with a gun for every Slate of the indivisible
Union, and at sunset, when drawn down, with
100 guns. The soldiers and negroes were in
eestacy; the citizens were not so enthusiastic,
hut some of them removed their hats in to
ken.”

acknowledged it thus:

Dear Sir: It is with the highest gratifica
tion that 1 receive the beautiful gift which,
through you, the City of New-Uaven has pre

The approbation of his fellow-citizens must
ever be the greatest and best reward ot one who
endeavors to serve his country, and to know
that those among whom my life from child
hood upward has been spent look with appro
bation upon my efforts to be of use in the great
struggle which is now so happily drawing to a
close, to feel that they are satisfied with the
little which J hare been able to do in defence
of the liberty and integrity of our country,
gives me a degree of pleasure which I should
vainly attempt to express. I shall cherish and
preserve the gift, which is the token of their
approbation, as one of the proudest remem
brances of my military life.
I thank you for the very kind and compli
mentary terms in which you have spokeu of my
career as a soldier, and 1 beg you to convey to
those whom you represent my most grateful
acknowledgments for the honor which they
have conferred upon me.

OQ TO IVES’ FOR YOUR FINE'BOOTS,
An Important Kcrortl.
[From the Lonisville Press.]
The United States Sanitary Commission has
recently gained j>ossession of a very important
document, around which will gather the sad
dest memories of the war. This is a coThplete
death record of Andcrsonviilu prison—a list of
all the Uuion soldiers who died there from
February 27tb, 1S64, to March 24th, 1865,
comprising 12,446 names—with rank, com
pany, regiment, disease, date of death, and
place of buriabof each. The actual number of
those who died at Andersonville daring this
time was 13,884, but of those 428 perished in
the opei^camp, without friends, letters, cloth
ing. or anything else h£ whicH they could be
identified.
This important document was compiled se
cretly from the rebel hospital records, night by
night, by the clerks—Union soldiers—who had
the care of them, aud was smuggled through
to our lines at Vicksburg in a bag of meal.
Certified as it is by the affidavits of the clerks
by whom it was transcribed, this record will be
of great value in affording proof of the death
of those whose names it bears, removing all
doubts regardiug the fate of the thousands of
our brave boys who have fallen victims to the
inhuman and unparalleled barbarities of the
cbivalric Southerners. These doubts, if not
thus dispelled, would not only have, long
harassed the surviving friends of these martyrs,
but have made it difficult, if not impossible, for
them to procure the pay and pensions earned
by the sacrifice of life itself.
This mortuary record is now being copied
into the books of the Hospital Directory of the
Sanitary Commission in this city, which now
contains over 700,(J00 names of soldiers, the
sick and wounded of tie Western armies, ana
where it may be consulted at all times by letter

Immense Accumulation of Dead fetters.
The public may be surprised to' learn that the
cumber of letters which are now being received
at the Dead Letter Office, sent there under the
new law which make.*! piepaymeut of postage
compulsory, amouuts to more than fifteen ihou-
sand per week. These figures deuote great care
lessness or ignorance of the law on the part of
the senders of these letters. The public should
remember that the old law allowing letters not
prepaid to be sent forward according to tbe ad
dress and double postage collected of the receiv
er, has been repealed; that now every letter not
entitled to be carried through the mail free
must have a stamp upon it, or it is sent to tDe
Dead Letter Office. Especial care sho rid be taken
by every person to observe at the time of depos
iting a letter in the post office that the postage
stamp is tirmlv fixed upou it. Such attentive
scrutiny would soon reduce tbe number ot letters
“held lor postage,” and consequently prevent the
embarrassments and vexatious delays now aris
ing from this class of letters.

Rebel Emigration to Branil— A Xexv
Enterprise of .the Desperate “Con
federates.”
The New Orleans Picayune makes the follow
ing statement:
“We understand that a number of tbo most
prominent Generals and Engineers of the Con*
federate armies, lor the moment uneasy, or ap
prehensive for tho future, contemplate going to
Brazil, where they expect to find a more indepen
dent home and better employment lor their akill
and talent. We also learn that the same move
ment is contemplated by officers and engineers of
Ihe Conlederate navy, with ,whom, personally ac
quainted as they are with tho Brazilian shores,
the idea probably originated.
“It is, likewise, said that many of the rank and
file, both of the army and navy, apprehensive of
the difficulty of getting employment, and follow
ing tho example of their leaders, are preparing to
eu igrate to the Valley of the Amazon. This is
properly discountenanced by the leaders, in the
beat interest of their followers, as ill judged aDd
every way unwise. Indeed, we cannot see how it
is possible for many of them who have families,
or even those who have uot, to raise the
necessary means for snch emigration. It would
probably cost il,UUfl lor even a small family to go
to tbe Brazilian shores and support themselves
six months, aycaT, or whatever length of time it
might take to find or establish tnemsolves in their
qew homes, if ever found; for it is the experience
of all mankind that tho life of an exile, whether
voluntary or involuntary, is that of a disconte^
ted wanderer.
“Some of the officers, we understand, are the
more apprehensive for tho future, because of the
fact that before secession they belonged to the
United States army, or were in service under the
Government. It is {doubtless true that such per
sons, if they desired it, would not be permitted to
go back to their old places and employment. They
cannot, therefore, avail themselves of the gener
ous permission of General Order*, given to the
mass of the Confederate aHjTjy, resume their
former arooations iu life.

States in Tangiers, lor his zeal in behalf ot the
Morocco Jews dunng their persecution by the
Moors. The resolution was carried unanimous
ly.
The matter of engrafting religious matters into
the constitution wus committed to the special at
tention of the board.
Rev Mr. Leester moved that all congregations
be invited to co-operate in this matter. Vigilance
wus the price of liberty, aud thus the interest of
all Israelites, whether from the congregations ot
Poland, where darkness reigned, or from those
of Germany and France, where enlightenment
was the order of the day. The reverend gentle
man moved the adoption of a resolution instruct
ing the Executive Committee to sends circular
on the subject as soon as tbe matter was brought
up, lor signature to every congregation.
Mr. A. S. Cohen objected to this, as delays were
dangerous.
Mr. Bennett King thought as the last
speaker, that time couid not be wasted in the
matter.
The following resolution was then adopted
unanimously :
Rtsnlced, Whenever any attempt is made to
engraft aDy religious belief on the Constitution
of the United Slates, the Executive Committee
are hereby directed to prepare a memorial and
send it to all tbe congregations for signature, to
take such further action as may be deemed neces
sary.
a motion to collect statistical information
respecting Jhe heroic deeds of Jews during the
war by asking the Presidents of all congrega
tionsto .-end the names and records of all who
have left for the war, was made.
After very strong speeches in favor of tho mo
tion by Rev. J. J. Lyons, Judge Curdozo and Mr.
Uezekiah Cohen, the motion was amended so as
tousk the cooperation of the Hebrew Benevolent
Societies and adopted. The subject of devising
measures to counteract missionary schemes ana
for the education of the young was referred to a
committee.
After prayer by Rev. Mr. Isaacs the conven
tion adjourned.

Among the passongers oy the steamrr Fnlton
yesterday was a delegation of Union men from
Savannah, Georgia, appointed a short time since
by the Georgia Union Club to visit Washington
with a Tiew to confer with the President upon the
present condition and necessities of th« State of
Georgia. Tbe following gontlemen compose the
committee: U. D. Weed, A. W. Stone, Wyley
Woodbridge, J. G. Mills, Edward Padleford, L.
S. Bennett. W. H. Stark, lUury Tlr^haoa.. Dr. F.
T: Clark, C. K.jJsgood, E. S. Riddell.
Tho delegation are old roaidentsof Georgia, and
lully endorsed as thorough Union men, and are
well advised as to the condition and wants of the
State.
They are at prerent at the St. Nicholas Hotel,
but will proceed to Washington at once.—X. Y.

Next week, on 5’odnesJay, the National Con
gregational Council (Orthodox) will convene in
the Old South Cnurch. This Council will
represent three thousand churches—one lay dele
gate and ono clergyman for every ten churches.
It is expected that upwards of five hundicd reg
ular delegates will be present and as many volun
teers: the latter will not, however, participate in
tho proceedings of tho convention exoept as spec
tators. This is the first mooting of the Council
since 1G80, at Cambridge, by tho Elders and Mes
sengers of the churches. It will be a convention
of great interest, aud one of which tho most dis-
singuisbed clergymen and laymen of the Otho-
dox Congregational persuasion will take part.—
The purpose, .among other objects, is to quicken
efforts to disseminate the blessings cf religious
faith generally, and to ae- d laborers into those
fields which late sad events of the war have left
desolate. Whether the doctrinal points of 1680
will be di-cussed, eularged or diminished, we
have no means of knowing, but presume they will
roceivo consideration, if not alteration. The ac
tion of the Council will have an important bear
ing upon the welfare of tho community, and must
tend to advance intelligence and humanity, and
promote the moral elevation of those moved by
its influence. —Boston Post, 9fA.
The Cotton Tradk.—As there appears to
be a wide difference of opinioif even among
well-informed men in all quarters as to the
precise effect of the Executive Proclamation
of the 13th inst., on the cotton trade, it is
thought proper to state that all restrictions on
trade in that article east of the Mississippi are
removed, and the only tax it is now required
to pay is that of two cents per pound imposed
by the Internal Revenue laws.
