" t | Decisions.—The Commissioner of Internal Revenue has made the following decisions: | Where a husband and wife live together and | their taxable income is im ex¢ess 0° © 0, they | ‘will be entitled to one deduction of $600—that beimg the average fixed by law as am esti- mated commutation for the expense of main- taining a family. Where they live apart, by divorce or uader contract of separation, they | will be taxed separately, and be each en@ifed | to a deduction of $600. H The Commissioner of Internal Revenue has | decided that all contracts for the loan of money { ‘or currency, on gold st par over three days, | shall, in addition to being written or printed | and signed by the parties or their agents, be | stamped to the amount of one half of one per | centum of the snm loaned, and interest thereon, ft the rate of six per cent. per annum. A loan on gold or silver coin over par is yoid. A loan of gold or silver coin at par, is subject only to the duty imposed on other loans. The following words in Sec. 6 (page 11) of | the Act of March 3d, 1863: “No stamp duty shall be required on powers of attorner or any other paper relative to applications for boun- ties, arrearages of pay or pensions, or the re- ceipt thereof from time to time,” are held to } exempt only those applications which are | maade in pursuance of law for the purposes | mamed, and for or on behalf of the special claims of discharged, disabled, or deceased of- ficers, soldiers, sailors, or marines entitled thereto. = BriLuiant ENTERTAINMENT.—The party of | the bachelor Minister of Spain, given on Wed- | nesday evening to Madame Prado, the recent- | ly married daughter of Senor Lisboa, the Bra- { zilian Minister, was one of the most brilliant of the sease@n,and will long be remembered no i less for the extreme taste and beauty of orna- | mental arrangements than its luxurious table | and gorgeous display of female loveliness. | The saloons were embowered with rare flow- | erimg plants, which shed a rich perfame | threugheut the establishment, and rendered | the scene one of unusual beauty. In addition to the Mesdames Lisboa, Prado, Pedesta, Baraida, Stoeckl, Mercier and other | distinguished Indies and daughters of foreign officials, the array of beauty in the persons of | American ladies, married and single, waz quite i remarkable. } Among the foreigners present, several offi- | cers of the Spanish frigate Carmea appeared conspicuous in their rich naval uniforms- Our army was well represented by General | Heintzelman and others, while the navy lent its contributions. Among the Foreign Minis- ters was Col. Romaine, of Hayti; while Mr. Sumner represented the Senate. PERSONAL.—The Secretary and Assistant Secretary of State returned last evening from their visit to the army of the Potomac.

The Baltimore and Ohio railroad has suffered considerably. The bridge at Fairmount and Cfiitat river was blown up. The rebel force seems to have béen sufficiently magnified in the eyes of Pennsylvanians, judg- ing by the Philadelphia journals, to cause:them to seriously believe that this tatterdemalion g&ang of guerillas could force their way through a populous country to Pittsburg, and play the mischief there with that. city and Gayernment property there On the contrary we are quite certain that the guerilla gang has much more solicitude to get away from the storm gathering in their rear than to advance directly into the jaws of sure capture. CAPTURE OF PRISONERS ON THE RAPIDAN, The steamer Hugh Jenkins arrived at the Sixth street wharf at5 a.m. to-day, bringing up 140 rebel prisoners, who were captured on the Rapidan while attempting to lay a bridge across. Our forces, it seems, by some means got in their rear, and thus captured the whole party almost before the rebels were aware ef it.
