Mr. Lioyd Introduced the following : | Kesoived, That the committee on finance be, and they are, hereby iastructed to report a bill to | tellrve the megro population of this city from every tax imposed oa them for school purposes Mr. Moore opposed the resolution. Fi connit ted the Board to 2 certain act. Mr. Lloyd was surprised that there could be any objection; when he offered the resolution he did not think there would be —. Mr Moore conid not see the object the gentle- man had tn view le did net think the Board had the right to relieve any portion of the popu- Tation of taxatioa. The resolution was prema- ture Mr. Lioyd thought had the right; and that uuless the corporation intended to appropriate money to support negro schools—to which ap- Leper be was °B — resolution was man: Proper ‘1 resolution sim; | ool slay tonne judes ma vi ility of being forced to mske an appropriation for educating negro children. All bi: Tel s and energies were devoted particularly to the ed- ucetion of white children. He did not wish to have anything to do with the negroes. Mr. Moore reiterated that the resolution was —- ssid he hada resolution which would now read and offer at the proper time: Resolved, That the Mayor be requested to in- form this Board wbat amount of bas been paid into the treasury of this corpo: <a Bc oust of taxes accruing du the vear 1661, dis- eriminating on the taxes paid on and real pi y; and also stating specially what amount of such taxes, of each class, bas been paid by colored persons, and also what amount of said. texes wi ia prior to the 26th day of August last, and what amount subsequently thereto. He Intended to offer this as preitminary tosome further action; but he arg that they had no right to discriminate in the laying of taxes, and if we relieve the — of this tax why not with the same propriety discriminate In favor of these white persons who had no children. Me. argued that the whites had the priv- ileg sending to school, which the negroes had not. It was s man’s own fault, or his wife's, if they bad no children. 1. Moore said he had raised a dozen children, and bad never been abie to send them to public scbool—the schools were always full. Mr. Lloyd referred to the bill before the United S:ates Senate, which that the taxes paid by the negroes for school purposes, should be by the city appropriated to their use. This was making the corporation a custodian for the ne- gro, to which he was opposed. We had no right to tax negroes, when they did not enjoy the priv- lleges for which they were taxed. Mr. Moore.—Then you would relieve them of all taxation. Their pr was taxed, and yet they were not allowed to vote. He was to giving positive instructiois to the committee ef finance or any other committee. He there‘ore cttcied the resolution, which called for informa- tion. He opposed Mr Lioyd’s resolution ca the ground of tilemality. Mr. Lloyd said if that was the gentleman’s ob- ection, he would amend his resolution by add- ag the words ‘‘p-oviding authority exisis under the char‘er.” Mr Moore objected to making that addition; it would place him very ridiculous position, and make the preceding discussion appear mere arg “ Mr. Lioyd sald he now proposed to direct the committee te inquire into fe expediency of puss tng the law. He did not wish the resolution to ag Ar = of the committee. Mr. said the yentleman’s red to be that as negroes derived no personal benedi from the schools, therefore they should not be taxed The same rule would apply to bachelors, old maids, and all others not vi children. He therefore moved that the matter laid on (be table Yeas and nays were called for, and the motion was lost. Mr. Bobrer said Mr. Moore’ ‘tion appeared to be that the modification Place bim ina false tien He thought the best way was to ge to Mayor as proposed by Mr. Moore’s res- jutton ‘The question then coming up on Mr. Moore’s resolution, Mr. L offered bis resolution as an amendment to that of Mr. Moore’s ‘The Chair —That would be out of order. a Lloyd.—Then I will alter the phraseology a little.

Seme excitement still prevails, but it is supposed that in a few days, when communica- tion is fal!y opened with northern ports, the con- fidence will be fully restored. The prices of almost everything are astonish- ingly high. Candles, for instance, of a miserabie quality, 60 cents per pound; common brown wrapping paper and envelopes 50 cents per pack- age; brown sugar 29 cents per pound. A number of stores will be opened however, in a few days, by parties from Old Point and Baiti- more, who will bring supplies of articles much wanted here. The post office and custom-bouse will shortly be reopened. Very little Union sentient Is openly ex- pressed. All over the city cur soldiers, officers as well as the privates, freely talk with the c’ zens, which must produce a good effect. All the fortifications in the viclaity are occu- pied by the Union troops, and all the public property is in the poesession of the Federal au- thorities. , The policy of the Cenfederate government appears to be to concentrate their trocps at Richmond, and some say that all the Gulf States will be given up before Virginia; that Richmond will be beld to the very last All ineist that a desperate resistance will be made there, if at no place else ‘Several negroes arrived from Suffolk this morn- ing.

SURRENDER OF REBEL DESERTERS. The steamer Wyandank arrived at the Navy Yard about nine o'clock this morning from the moutb of the Rappahannock, bringing up a num- ber of seamen whose terms of service have ex- pired. We leern from some of her officers thet the Freeborn and island Belle on Saturday last cut out of the Piankatank river (which makes into the Chesapeake about five miles below the Rap- pahennock) two large sized schooners—one un- loaded, and the other with an assorted cargo, the larger portion being whisky. After the schooners were got out, Capt. Harris, with the Belle, proceeded some miles up the river, and came across a band of rebel deserters, numbering nearly five hundred, who bod been stationed on the York river. They stated that they had been posted near Gloucester Point, and belonged to a Virginie regiment, and when the order wasgiven to evacuate, they heving become tired cf the secesh service, resolved to march to- wards the Federal lines with a view of surren- dering themselves. They proposed to lay down their armsand give themselves up, but Captain Harris having no means to remove them, admin- istered the oath of allegiance tothem, which was wiillogly taken, and left them with thelr arms to ‘otect themselves. he Island Belle had jus' dank left, (Mondey at one o'clock a. m.) conse- queutly we are unable to give further particulars. THE PROCLAMATION. The promulgation of the President’s prociama- tion formally opeaing bleckaded ports, is most important at this particular juncturt. That is: in viewwf the fact that the cmissaries of and sympatbizers with the rebellion arc now making a lest and most desperate effort to embroll the Untted States with France and England on ac- count of the blockade. In addition to the ports of Beaufort, N New Orleans, La., and Port Royal. 3. C., ope to-day, in a few days the ports of Norfolk, Va , Newbern and Washington, N.C.,and Richmond will doubtless be opened, and probably that of Mobile at the same time; to be followed in thirty days at farthest by the opening of the ports of Pensacola, Fla , and Savannah, Ga. - Or, in other words, in a month hence every port (except it may be that of Galveston, Texas,) on our blockaded coast will be open to ships of the whole world ty action of the government of the United States. Apropes of Mobile:—it is believed im naval cir. cles bere that we are now certainly in possession of that city. REBEL TROPHIES. Mr. R. McCormick, who went over the field of Williamsburg immediately after the bat- tle, has brought to Washington severe! rebel swords. One of these evidently belonged to a staff officer, and is of chaste and costly manufac- ture. Mr. Mo. basalso a bowie knife or cutias of huge size, found in a deserted mansion in Union proclivities. | at once decided to remain and bold pos: ession of the place, protect the people and prevent a further destruction of property by rebels, until the arrival of the commanding officer of the naval divisjon.”” Lieut. Phelps, in the Coast Survey steamer Corwin, penetrated up the Mattapony thirty-six miles above West Point, fading white Sage hoisted on both shores of the river, end the people generally apparently plemed to see the Union flag once more among them. ———__-2+e- CONGRESSIONAL. —— KEXVilth CONGR ESS_Secomé Session.
