TELEGRAPHIO NEWS, | i FROM CANADA. Another Fesian Movement. Ottawa, August 2—Information has Teacbed the Government that a second Fenian Movement against Canada will soon take piace, General Dick Taylor to command in chief. It is thought that the next struggle will be a severe one. War with the United States is aot unlikely as things look. ANOTHER REPORT. OTTAWA.

Intelligencer, WAB POLICY NOT SUITABLE FORA TIME OF PEACE. While ournational existence was threatened by traitorsin arms, we warmly supported every measure adopted by the Government to crusb out the rebellion. and re-establish the | Unior of the States, under the Constitution, believing that to be the sole object for which the war was waged. Thus the Proclamation of Emaneipation, (without compensation :) the arming of the negroes: the suspension of the 4adeas corpus; and other extraordinary means to accomplish ‘the great end in view, were cheerfully endorsed by all loyal men, as vitally essential: and measures were ac- cepted as military necessities. forced on us by the gigantic efforts of the rebel leaders to overthrow the constitational authorities. which would have received almost universal condemnation in a time of peace. By our vigorous prosecution of the wal, with gallant troops, under great military teaders, and in part, no doubt. by the adoption of the measures referred to above, the armed forces of the rebellion were conquered, and the supremacy of the General Government es- tablished. The great (/nion party having been thus successful, many of its members saw at once thet with new circumstances came new onsibilities, and that the policy of war which bad been forced upon us, should give way to a new policy, better calcn- lated accomplish the same end for which the war had been prosecuted. namely: the restoration of the Union. Others. how. ever, who would seem to have deemed the war as being waged exclusively for the benefit of the negro. not satisfied with the great trinmph achieved by them in accomplishing emancipa_ tion, and the adoption of other steps towards their pet idea of equality of the races, would keep the Union disrupted un‘il the South has become indoctrinated with theirown extreme wiews Now which of these two bodies is most con- sistent, and who are the Union men! Such a question would need no discussion had not the Radicals to carry out their peculiar idea: and perpetuate their party rule surrounded it | With sophistries; but divested of these it is re. | duced to the simple form in which we put it: | and needs no answer. as will be demonstated at the August Convention, under the call for which ali Union men can safely rally. The propositions submitted affirm the perpetuity of the Union of States—tne equality of all the States in respect of represen- tation im Congress, and other rights—the absence of right anywhere to separate Suates from the Union, whether by the States themselves or by Congressional action, and the inviolate right of each State to control its own domestic concerns. Further, “the pur- pose of the war having been to preserve the Union and Constitution by putting down the rebellion, and the rebellion having been sup- Pressed,” it is declared that «war measures | bould also cease, and should be followed by measures of peaceful administration, so that | union, harmony and concord may be encour- | aged, and industry, commerce, and the arts ot | peace revived and promoted.” Broad enough, we should think, to satisfy every true patriot. LABOB CONTRACTS IN TEXAS. The Bureau of Refugees and Freedmen has zecerved a report from Brevet Major Genera, J. B. Kiddoo, Assistant Commissioner for the State of Texas, in reference to labor contract8 in that aistrict. He says: Contracts should be made for the whole year in every cotton grow- ing region, om accountof the important periodS } in the growth of the crop—seeding, weedirg’ and picking—extqnding over almost the whole year, and it being absolutely necessary to have | Jabor at command for each of these periods; that tree laber should go into the open market and compete with other merchandise tor the Bigbest bidder, but when once centracts are made, signed by both parties in good faith, and approved by an agent of the Bureau, oa should be carried out in good faith by bot parties for the length of time specified in the | contract. The Bureau requires the planter to fulfill bis portion of the contract,as to wages, rations, and treatment, and having approved the contract as the guardian of the freedman, and thereby becoming a moral party to the contract. itshould also require the freedman | to fulfill bis portion of it as to the timeand | labor. The Assistant Commissioner did not wish to be understood as reflecting on the man- ner in which the a have hitherto labored in Texas, but he had found itnecessary | to restrain them by every means in his power | from shifting about from one employer to another, on trivial pretexts, thus demoralizing } the rigorous system of labor that was estab. | lished by General Gregory, and damaging the agricultural interests of the State to the detri- | ment of both planters and freedmen. He states that Generals Steedmaa and Fullerton the cotton crop looks better, and that crop will be raised, proportionately to the quantity of land uuder cultivation, than in any other State. tons representing the commercial men in New York and Philadelphia have been here, the President to appoint a successor to Secre- retary McCulloch. No delegation: called upon him, aad no manor setof men ever urged the President to appointa successor to Mr. MeUulloch. Ey COLLECTION OF SALARY TAX. The secretary of the Treasury has issued an order changing the method for the collection of the tax on salaries of Government employ- ees. Hereafter. all duties levied by the 123d section of the internal revenue act approved June 30, 1564, or any other provision of law or regulations, upon the salary, com pensation or payment for services of each and every officer oT person in the service of the United States, eball be collected and returned into the ‘Treas- Bry as follows ry paymaster or disbar- sing officer who shall withhold such duties upon payment required to be made to him shall Tender s true statement of the amount and de. tails thereof, and shall return said statemen; with bis accounts, as now required by law. He will, however, muke no deposits ef the amounts thus retained by him. Instead of the Geporit beipg made by the officer, it has been made the duty of the First and Second Comp- ‘rollers, the Commissioner of @ustoms, and the Siath Auditor. o IsTeRNaL REVENUE DEctIsion.—The Com- missioner of Internal Revenue has had occa_ sion to define the word “money” in the new in- terpairevenue law He states that money is therein meant to include checks, drafts, and other instruments of writing given for the pay- mept of Money, and hence the receipts for checks. drafts, &c., require stamps, as if given lor money S7 Every family ofrank in Vienna is mourn- ng.

The monthly statement of the Public debt which waesuspended at the end of June, was | made by the Secretary of the Treasury to-day | for the month of July. A comparison of this f’atement with that issned on the Ist of June shows a very gratifying condition of the na- tioual finances, but little more than a year since the close of the war, aad will tend greatly to stremgthen the confidence of the People in the present able management of the finances ot the country. Appended to the monthly statement is a summary report of the amount by which the public debt has been reduced in the fiscal year ending June 38, 1966. On Au- gust 1, 1505, the debt, less the cash in the Treas- UrY, Was $2,757,253,275.56. On August ist of the present year, the debt, less the cash in the | Treasury, is $2,633,099,276.38, Making a reduc- tion in the debt during the year ot $124, 153,990.48, The debt bearing intersst in coin is stated in this report to be $1.242,8e-,441.50, which is an | increase over the.same part of the debt in May of $16,413,250. The debt bearing currency in- terest is $1,079,055.959.96, a diminution as com- pared with he May statement of $37,55: The matured debt not presented for payment is $ ).160.32, less than that debt in May by $270,269.22. The debt bearmg no inter $143,419,046.01, less than in May by 88. The total debt is § $29,562,841.77 less than it was in May. The amount of cash in the Treasury is, coin, S%1,- currency, $75. 3 Bi an increase over theamounton hand 9.37.

The official copy of the act of Congress an- theorizing the payment of additional bounty a prblished in General Orders, No. 55, trom the War Department, removes all ambiguity from the second clause of the bill, (15th section of the act,) and clearly defines the object of the section. Section thirteen provides that every soldier who enlisted after April 19th, 1-61, who served faithfully for two years, was honorably discharged, und who was not en- titled to receive more than one hundred dollars bounty from the United States, shall be paid the additional bounty of fifty dollars. The form of application to be made by the heirs of deceased soldiers to the Second Audi- tor to obtain the additional bounty thus granted. will be the same as that hitherto used in applications for arrears of pay and bounty, exerp’ that the pumber of the previous settle. ment should be given: it should be stated that the object of the application is to recover the additional bounty provided by the lth and 13th sections of the act of Congress, chapter 17s, approved July 25th, 1566, and the claimant should make oath as to identity, and that the cischarge papers have not been dis. posed of in any manner whatever by the sol. dier who received them. It is not believed that payment of the additional bounty can be- gin for some months to come, as the funds for the pu have not yet been placed to the order of the Paymaster (General, and the rules and regulations to govern the payments, fix. ing the amount of evidence which will be necessary to establish a claim, and providing & system upor whieh the disbursements wil) be made, are yet to be ia date by the commis- sion appointed by the War Department for that purpose. This commission is now in ses- sion, and is com d of the following officers: Major General Canby, Brevet Major General Barnes, Surgeon General; and Brevet Major General Buchanan, Colone} ist U.S. infantry.
