She, however, submitted, and gavean account of the courtship of Mr. Shaw and Ettie. 1” By telegraph from New Orleans we have important intelligence from Mexico, though as usual with news from that quarter, incomplete and needing confirmation. The steamer General Miramon kad arrived below New Orleans in cherge of Lieutenant Minor, as a United States prize. The steamer isno doubt a partof the naval expedition organized at Havana by Senor Don Tomas Marin, ex-Commodore of the Mexican Navy, to assist Miramon in the attack on Vera Cruz. The Juarez Government had declared the expedition piratical. Miramon commenced the attack on Vera Cruz on the Sth, but it is reported ‘was easily repulsed by the Liberal forces. ra Persenai. ~-+- Gov. Sam’l Black, of Nebraska, woods’ -+++Gov.

Mr Forney, under whom My. B. had until recently been employed as a deputy clerk in the House of Representatives, having telegraphed that there was no complaint against him. Mr. Boyington was for seven or eight years a clerk in the Peasion office, but resigned that position for the one under Mr. Forney. He says that business of @ private character induced him to visit New York, and he denies the truth of the story that has been circulated against him. at Kirk- Boxtat o Stevens axp Hazietr.—The last of the Harper's Ferry coi rators Stevens and Hazlett, were buried at Eaglewood, N. J., on Sunday. The funeral services were performed at the residence of Marcus Spring, Esq , the pre- siding genius over a body of communists known as the “Socialist Union’? The New York Herald gives a full account of the proceedings, from which we extract the following: Attached to the button-hele of Stevens’ coat by red and blue ribbons was a plain black India rub- ber ring, but for whom it was intended his friends were not informed, either by his letters or his re- gnarks upon taking Jeave of him at Charlestown. His betrothed bride accompanied his remains from Charlestown, and was joined at Eaglewood by his father and sister. The bodies lay in one of the front rooms of Mr. Spring’s mansion until yester- day morning, when the funeral took place. At half-past ten spores merning, the bell upon the community building was tolled, and the residents of Eaglewood began to gather for the funeral ceremonies. Very few strangers were it. although a few persons came from New York. Perth and South Amboys, and the neigh- boring county. M&ny ofthe Socialists did not attend, but witnessed tbe funeral cortege from the balconies of the main building. The Rev. Dr. Arm, of Norwich, Conn., and Messrs. Filton and Johnson. of New York city. delivered short addresses. Mrs. Spring also read extracts from Stevens letters. The body of Stevens wes then placed upon a hearse, and that of Hazlett upon a common farm ‘wagon, and the whole Cat rete followed in faneral procession, the bell tolling asthe proces- sion moved. The Socialist Cemetery is about half a mile from the buildings, upon a slight elevation, in the midst of a scraggy wood of cedars, pines aud serub oaks. Stevens and Hazlett ‘e buried in the Virginia coffins, in separate sballow graves, in the midst of a small grove, and about three or four feet apart. The company threw evergreens upon the coffins as they defiled past on their way back to the house. In a short hour after the graves were filled up, the funeral party were scattered to their homes through the woods, or in "parent parties upon the beach, and the last of the Harper’s Ferry con- spirators seemed to be forgotten, except by the small party at Mr. Spring’s residence. ——————————— Tax Exxcution ov Hazixtt axp Stevens— Wuo was Haziett?—The body of Stevens was claimed. we are told, by his sister and a young lady to whom he had been betrothed d his family is well known; but itis remarkable tbat no one has come forward yet to claim a relation- ship to Hazlett. He was arrested alone, it will be remembered, after the other parties to the cffair had been seized, was never ry them, and bas steadily refused to confess his par- tici pation in the deed or to say who he was. The name Hazlett was undoubtedly assumed, as in his private letters to here he assumed another, and otherwise show a disposition to conceal his connections. His body, together with that of Stevens, was brought to Perth Amboy, New Jer- sey, and there buried on Sunday after ag formance of religious ceremonies—New York Post. A Movemest ro CuaNck tux Cariror or Matxs.—Some of the members of the Maine Leg- islature are _meking an effort to remove the capi- tol of that State from Augusta to Portland. The grounds for removal are that in case Portland was selected for the Legislative sessions, the business men, who were also legislators, would be more likely to be on the spot when their presence was necessary than at present. As it now is. it would seem that the ivate business of members occu- Rist so much attention in the commercial city of aine, that they spend in Portland a greater ‘put Sen of the session to the neglect of public duties. The subject was finally referred to the next Legls- - head of the K. G. C.’s, made @ speech to the citizens of Mor: omery, Ala., last week. He said the order wes ed to assist in the Americanization of Mexico; that he bad to trke up armas, and ex- to raise two regiments, with means to get in Alabama.

The first is abill “making regulations concerning licenses.” The second is the tax bill. The first requires the Commissioner of the Revenue, in fixing the amount of taxable sales of merchants, to deduct the sales of all goods imported direct into the State by the seller, of bought from the manufacturer in the State, or from any licensed merchant in the State. Thus all goods, except imports from foreign countries and home manufactures, will be taxed in the hands of the first licensed merchant who sells them, and taxed ne more. This bill, which exe- cutes the principle of non-intercourse, ‘was passed by @ unanimous vote, and is not objected to in any quarter. The tax bill directs the tax to be levied on the sales ascertained in the mode Prescribed by the bill making regulations concerning licenses. It reforms and equalizes the tax on merchants. This equalization is just and right, whether the license law be on the non-intercourse principle or not. The old mode of taxation now about to be abolished levies a class taxation or merchants All who sell under $1,000 per annum pay not less than 2 per cent. All who sell under 1,500 pay 1.6 Percent. All who sell under $2,500 pay 12 per cent. All who sell under $7,600 pay 1 per cent. All who sell under $15,000 pay .64 per cent., and So on, decreasing the tax as the business increases, until those who sell more than $50,000 only pay 1-10 of 1 percent. on their excess over $50,000. This is obvious and gross injustice. The new tax bill proposes to abolish this class taxation, and to Substitute one uniform rate of taxation on all mer- chants, great and small. Three hundred and thirteen thousand dollars of revenue are now raised by the tax on merchants’ licenses. The new bill aims to raise the same amount from this source—but it seeks to equalize {t among the mer- chants, and make each one pay in proportion to his business. All nations tax their merchants by uniform rate. Virginia, heretofore, has adopted the strange policy of inverting the true order of justice, and increasing the rate of taxatiun as the business of the merchant decreases; until, at the two extremes, we find the largest dealers paying 1-10 of 1 per cent., and the smallest dealers from 2 to 4 per cent. This equalization of the tax reduces the present tax on 5.478 merchants in the Commonwealth, who now pay more than 1 per cent., aud raises it on 763 merchants who pay less than 1 per cent. at Present. It is this latter class of merchants who are raising all the clamor against the new mode of taxation. The tax proposed will be very popu- lar, because it is just, and because it reduces the taxes on seven-eighths of the Virginia merchants and raises them on one-eighth only, who have heretofore enjoyed an unfair immunity from taxa- tion. This small class make themselves ridicu- lous by pretending to denounce the new bill in the name of all the merchants. The seven-eighths upon whom the bill reduces the tax will hardly remonstrate against a measure of just relief to themselves. In Alexandria, for instance, there are 222 merchants. According to the official statement of the Auditor of Public Accounts, only 30 of these now pay less than 1 percent. Out of 222 merchants in Alexandria, the new tax Dill only increases the tax on 30 merchants. Yet these 30 are actually sending out a remonstrance in the name of the whole 222 against the law which reduces the tax on six-sevenths of all the merchants in that city. Ninety-eight of the Al- exandria merchants, (to wit, the small dealers selling $1,000 and under, and paying 20 tax,) now pay 2 percent. The new tax Dill reduces the tax on these 9S exactly one-half. On all the others, except 30, it either reduces the tax or retains itat what they now pay. Of the 30 whose taxes are increased, 5 pay .61 per cent.; 10 pay 56 Per cent.; 9 pay .37 per cent.; and the remaining 6 pay less than .37 percent. There are only 30 merchants who are injurionsly effected by the new tax, and the injury done to them is the simple requirement to bear taxation in fropor- tion to their wealth and the extent of their busi- ness. The few large merchants who have here- tofore enjoyed the singular immunity of the Virginia tax law may clamor at the loss of their peculiar privilege, but the principle of equaliza- tion in proportion to means, is too just to be re- sisted with any appearance of reason or hope of suecess. The few can be heard now. The many will be felt, when they move. —>—__ Tue Orzra.—Patti as Lucia —Patti came, Patti sang, Patti conquered! For a rainy night the opera-goers turned out amazingly We can hard}y call to mind who wasn’t there. Miss Ju- lian: May was ina stage box; Senator Douglas and his beautiful wife were in the nextone; Baron Stoeckel formed the centre of a formidable diplo- matic representation; Mr. Secretary Thompson was there; Senator Slidell was there; Mr. Houston, of Alabama, was there; and, in fact, an undoubted quorum of both Houses. Mr. Maurice Strakosch, Napoleon of managers, was at the conductor's stand, baton in hand. L Pp goes hig white gloved hand; up goes the curtain; chorus voted good—better and more of it than opera managers usually vouchsafe us in Washing- ington; out comes stout Amodio as the wicked “Sir Henry,” and pours out that astounding vol- ume of voice which overtopscborus and orchestra: Now for Patti—Patt! comes—Patti “iooks sweet,”” ‘has a good figure,” “is dressed so tasteful,” Patti is applauded, then she sings a little, and is applauded ever so much more. Edgardo (Sti- geili) comes in with his big boots on, and si and acts the lover acceptably. Patti, warming up to her work, sings divinely, throws out lavish stores of pearly notes, runs up to the extremest height of the soprano register without effort or contortion of face, and ends the first act in a blaze of glory. Patti - will do;’’ Patti is called out; bouquets are rained upon the stage; stout Amodio gets red in the face picking them up, and finally, with a comical griinace of perplexity, abandons the job in despair, and sends on a “ supe” to do the porterage The second act goes on swimmingly, as does the third, (bringing out the fine capabilities of Signor Muller as “Raymond,” and of Signor Quinto as “‘Arthur,”’) and by the time of the fall of the green curtain every person in the house, we presume, has arrived at the conviction that when Adelina Patti shall acquire that fullness of voice which is to be her inheritance at no distant day—that when somewhat of volume is added to its wonderful compzss, brilliancy, purity and flexibility, she will be the marvel of the world.

The pending question was on referring the bill to the Cummittee on Military Affairs, a motion having also been submitted to refer it to the Com- mittee of Ways and Means. Mr. Reagan, of Tex., regretted that this amend- ment was embarrassed by a contest between the chairmen of these committees, and only desired that it should go to the Military Committee be- cause the subject of the defence of Texas had already been referred to that committee. which would be prepared to Keport promptly. Mr. Cox, of Ohio, said this question involved greater considerations than a mere question of reference. It involved not only out relations with the Indians, but with the Government of Mexico itself. The whole frontier of Mexico and along the Rio Grande was being scoured by hostile Indians, and it would Possibly soon be necessary to send a military force into the Terrl- tory of Mexico to protect the rights of our citi- zens there. A year ago, in addressing the House, he urged the policy of intervention, to give to Mexico a correct and orderly independence, and he still held the same views. No otuer Power than our own should be permitted to intervene. Mexico was to-day a mere wreck, floating upon the wild waves of anarchy and strife, an obstruc- tion upon our own path, a great public calamity to the world. Unless we remove that obstruction it would not only destroy our progress, but poison in time our own political system. Since his 8) ha year ago the President had recognised the Juaraz Government, and our Minister, Mr. McLane, had negotiated a treaty giving us great advantages. Self-protection, national honor, and national interest alike required that that treaty should be confirmed, and nothing ought to be done, upon the Rio Grande or elsewhere, to its detriment. In conclusion, he favored the reference of the bill to the Military Committee, in order that that committee might fully consider our important relations with Mexico The previous question being demanded, was seconded, and the yeas and nays were ordered on the motion to refer to the Committee on Military Affairs. And then, at 25 minutes past 4 o’clock, the House adjourned. —_~.__. Preceedings of To-Day.

Mr. Johnson, ef Ark., offered a resolution to extinguish the Indian title to lands about Pike's Peak, and spoke !n its support. Mr. Mason was 0; to extinguishing any more Indian titles or squander ing any more of the public lands. Mr. Douglas spoke at considerable length in favor of the resolution. He was in favor of ex- tinguishing the Indian title in the locality desig- nated, and establishing a Territorial government. Mr. Davis was in favor of such a course as would secure the Pike's Peak settlers from In- dian depredations, and at the same time protect the Indians in their rights.
