TP POS: SINKING OF A REBEL TORPEDO SUPPOSED SINKL pe Com. S.C. Rowan, of the S. A. B. Squadron, has forwarded to the Navy Lbepartmenta com- munication from Capt. J. De Camp, written on board the U.S.steamer Wabash, off Charles- ton, S. C., under date of April 19, in which that officer relates the supposed sinking of the re- bel torpedo boat which sunk the Housatonic. It appears that on the night of the {sth the deck officer of the Wabash discovered ‘@ dark object about 150 yards distant from that vessel, which corresponded in shape and movements to the torpedo boat. It moved rapidly up against the tide, till about the main mast, and then turned and stood directly for the the ship. The men of the Wabash quickly rushed to their quarters upon the beatofthe gong, and when the supposed torpetio boat was about 50 yards distant, round shot were fired at her from each of the spar deck guns. A round shot is supposed to have struck and sunk her as she was seen no more after the first fire, and the second volley struck in the immediate vi- cinity of tke first. fs s TENCED TO, BE SHOT.

The horses weré detached from the carriage, on being placed on board the boat, butone ot them becoming restive got his -leg entangled in the wheel of the carfiage, and io this condition plunged over the side dragging the carriage with him into the water. The horse and ca- riage were both rescued. Fortunately the Sec- retary was not in the carriage at the time, and thus escaped harm. THE ENROLLMENT AND DRAMT IN TATS Drs- rRict.—On Monday, March 28th, we published in the Star the correspondence between Mayor Wallach and the Government authorities rel- ative to the enrollment and draft in this city | up tothat time. The last letter in that corres- pondeice was one from Capt. Maynadier, dated March 2ist, and which was accom: nied by a tabular statement as to the number furnished by this District. G '@ give now the further correspondence as going to show the efforts made by the corporate autherities to have the District properly cred- ited for men, and the quota reduced in Sccord- ance with said juate credit. ‘To ‘the fetter of C: Maynadier, above re- ferred to, Mayor Walsh replied as follows : Mayor’s Office, March 29, 1864.—Henry E. May- nadier, Esq, Capt. G. 8. Ax in cl ée.—Sirs In reply 10 my letier of the 2st theraut you omitted to respond to the second interrogatory, as to whether this District is not entitted to stme, it so, what credit, on account of exemp tions. from, the late draft, and in the. tabular statement eure! rmbt that reply yow fix as the number credited to this District therefrom 1,183:men. i “Tam I to understand that nimbef as the actual result orcredit trom that draft, and all the Dis- trict of Columbia is entitled to be credited therefrom, that it covers and embraces as well those who were dr: in the draft and failed to appear and be mustered into service; those who, haying been mustered into the service, have subsequently deserted; and those who, though drawn, were.exempted from service by an act of Congress, physical debility, alienage, non-residence, age, or other cause, as those who were drawn:and mustered intoand remain in the service? Respectfully, RicHARD WALLACH, Mayor. To,this letter Mayor Wallach received the following reply: ° War ment, Provost Marshal's Offs, Washi»gton, D.C, April 1, 1861.—Hon. R. Wal; lach, Mayor of Washington—Sir: In reply te your letter bf the 29th ult. received yesterday, 1 am directed to say that the number of men credited to the District of Columbia upon the draft of 1863 (1,183) includes those who were held to service personaily, who paid commn- tation, and who farnished enbstitutes. By existing orders and regulations, men who failed to report, and those who were exempted for the varions causes enumerated in the act.ot March 3, 1563, are not credited. I am, sir, very respectfully, your obedient servant, Heyry E. MAYNApIER, Capt. U.S. A., &c. On the 2d of April the following letter was sent by Mayor Wallach, and elicited areply on the 9th instants which we also atts ee Mayor's Office, April 2, 1961.—He: . Mayna- dier, B87. Caskets TSA de Sir L have the honor to acknowledge the receipt of yours yes- terday, in which you say, + by existing orders and regulations men who failed to report and those who were exempted forthe variouscauses enumerated in the act of Congress of March 34, 1863. arenot credited.” May Ibe tect on Mohday, the 9th proximo, in the pres- corps, a8 can be properly assembled on that ) day. i | CONGRESSIONAL. eee XXXVIII7ra CONGEESS.—FIRST SESSION. i — TurRspay. il 2S. Senate.—Mr. Ten Byck balled up the bill to change and define the boundaries of the judi- cial districts of Fast and West Virginia, &c., and it was passed. 3 Mr. Fessenden, from the Committee on Fi- nance, reported, with amendments, the House joint resolution to. increase for, sixty days the present duties on foreign imports 50 per cent., exempting therefrom printing paper. [The amendments reduce the increase to 33; per cent., and exempt goods on bond trom the in- crease. ; Mr. it. said that the Committee, in con verza- are not admitted, to show at leastan inordinate and excessive enrollment the necessity for its ence of so much of the Ist division, 5th army | reduction and consequently a diminntion of tbe quotas. Also, if those who tailed to report are classed as deserters, and ifsubsequently arrested, are not credited? Respectfully, RicHARD WALLAOs, Mayor. War Department, Provost Marshal General's Ogice, Washington, D. €., April %, 1861.—Hon. Re Wallach, Mayor of Washington—Sir: In reply to your letter of the 24 inst., received on the Sth, I am directed to say that men who fail to report after being dra: and notified are considered deserters, and are not credited even if apprehended and punished. In regard to your wiry as to “whether exemptions are not admitt to show an inor- dinate and excessive enrollment,” &c., I can only say that I am unable to perceive how the exemptions could show that the enrollment was excessive, but rather the reverse: for if a great c pb Aiscbeaty of those enrolled were ex- empted, it would tend to show that the able- tion, thought the 50 per centum increase was | bodied, and those not entitled to exemption, too great, and there! Te had preposed toamend | by reducing t>e increase to.33%; per centum. ‘The Committee were of opinion that when the new tariff bill is passed, it will nc:, on an average, put up the duties higher than 33; per cent, and therefore it would be impolitic to | make this temporary rate higher than that. He | thought it better to put the rates a little below | than above what may be the final rates of a | new tariff. To put them up 50 per cent and ; then put them down again on many articles in } ashort time again, would effest trade very ir- | regularly. | Mr. Sherman said he had disagreed with the | committee in. their recommendations. proposed increase of 5U per centum was not on the value of the goods, but on the existing du- ties. Therefore the Honse rate would be but 15 per cent. additional really and the rate of 33, proposed by the committee but 10 per cent. additional, Hovse.—The House resolved itself into a The Union, (Mr. Washburne in the chair,) and re- sumed the consideration of the Internal Tax ill. Mr. Kasson, of Iowa, offered a substitute for | the 151st section, which was agreed to, provid- ing it shall not be lawful to record any instru- ment, document or paper, unless the proper stamp shall be affixed, and the record on which the proper stamp 3s not fixed shall be utter! void and shall not be used as evidence. The section stricken out proposed & penalty of $50 for the failure to affix stamp. Mr. Farnsworth offered an amendment pro- hibiting any pergon or banking association to iseue any notes for circulation unjess author- ized by act of Congress; otherwise they shall withdraw their circulation in six months, and the said banks shall pay, a tax of one-fourth of one per cent. each month on the note so issued. This amendment gayerise to degate. On the one hand it was contended that it would sup- press the State banks, and on the other it was maintained that taxation shonld tall equally on all. On motion of Mr. Holman the words ‘unless authorized by act of Congress.” ‘ Mr. Fenton appealed to the gentleman to withdraw bis amendment, as it was calculated , to delay action on the tax bill. Mr. Farnsworth could not withdraw it. Why should not banks be taxed, while they taxed everything else. , | gRBIRAmandment Was adopted. |LATE TELEGRAPHIC. NEWS.
