C., Jan. 18.—The most significant event in the Senate to-day was the anuouncement of the resignation of Senator Walthall of Mississippi. It was totally urexpect ed and when it was laid before the Senate the letter of the Senator an nouncing he had forwarded his res ignation to the Gov. of Mississippi, the greatest surprise was expressed onall sides. Senator Walthall is 63 years of age, and succeeded the late L. Q. C. Lamar in the Senate years His retirement, which is on account of ill health, causes general regret among his colleagues, as Sen ator Walthall is very popular. The remarks of Senator Vest (Democrat) of Missouri on the elec- tion bill were entertaining and were in his usual pointed style. ‘This law,” said he, ‘was based on the as sumption that the officials of the United States are better than the people. It is an assumption that when you take a citizen of a State and clothe him in uniform and authority, he becomes a_ bette: and more intelligent man. Public sentiment is such that State legisla tion can not be enforced; the same will apply to legislation coming from the national government. “The Senator from Illinois (Mr. Palmer) the other day stated he was ago. federal in favor of extending suffrage to the | total to the internal revenue collector negro, and gave patriotic reasons| in the locality. for it. Iundertake to say to day that legislation has been the source of more calamity to the people of the United States than any other en in the constitution. It was passed upon the idea that negroes would /lecting of the tax is placed in charge be able to protect themselves, al-| of a deputy commissioner of internal though utterly unprepared for the | revenue. ballot.” After a general summary of | tricts of the county and country are the outrages which Senator Vest | also drovided with deputy collectors alleged had been committed under | who will especially manage the col the Federal election law.he conclud- lection of the income tax. ed his remarks at 3 p. m. | On motion of Senator Cockrell the | | Senate went into executive session,|to the Indian Territory some time | $4,000. under of | der the law, aud the party failing to i * j above provisions has been to avoid jan inquisitorial operation‘of the law. the return actment upon the statute books or | collector. 500, to make a return to the Iceal | collector of internal revenue.

THE INCOME TAX Washington, D. C., Jan. 18.—The full text of the internal revenue bill, including the important income tax, has been agreed upon by the Demo cratic members of the ways and means committee. It is probable the measure will be submitted to the House to-morrow. As yet de- tails of the income tax, as finally} agreed upon, have not been made public. The press is able, however, to give a very complete summary of the essential features of the tax es it will be submitted to the House.

Braye Meu Tell Tales of the Days Told by General Bonton. The brayest deed that came under my «ye was performed by Fred Van Derve vision in the Kelley field at Chicka- mauga. The affair held this rank, whether considered as au illustra- tion of the coolness and _brilliancy of the commanding officer, the pres- ence of mind and pluck of regiment- al officers, the dash and bravery of the men, or the remarkable charac- ter of the evolutions of the line per formed under hot fire at close range. Imagine an open stubble field, a little less than half a mile long by a ed by forest, the longest line of the field running north and south, with tanooga, which was the object and side. le. The Union left ran just within edges of the timber, and turned westward a short distance in inside of the woods along the northern bor- der of the field. This whole line was being heavily attacked. Van Derveer's brigade had been organized from the center to report to General Baird, who held the ex treme left of the line above described. He came through the forest west of the Kelley field marching eastward in two lines, each deployed, and each with a front of twe regiments. As his front line emerged from the forest it entered a thicket of low pines which fringed the western side of the Kelley field. The flags, the bayonets, and the mounted men of the front line could be seen above the thicket. The soldiers in the pines could see nothing. Just at this moment two confederate brig- ades of Breckinridge’s which had passed around the Union the southern and eastern reverse, der, full into the Union rear, its yards distant. flags and horsemen in the pines, which with the glittering of the bay- onets clearly marked the Union line, ing fire upon it.
