Another dispatch from Kingston says that Admiral Green, who has just arrived there, reuresents thatthe Dominicans unanimously favor annexa- tion to the United States, and the statement is contirmed by private letters received here. An interesting letter from Admiral S. P. Lee, com- —- the North Atlantic Suadron, to See: retary Robeson is published, in which the Ad- miral eays that he arrived of Santo Domingo city in the Severn, his flag ship, on the sth of January. and, accompanied by his statt, called upon President Baez on the 9th of January and essured him of the continied desire and effort of President Grant to secure the aunexation of San Domingo to the United States. Admiral Lee had two subsejuent interviews with Presi- dent Baez, and says that Baez, as a statesina and a patriot, sincerely desires the annexati of San Domingo. ing an account of the resources of the island, its trade, We.. says : ‘¢The United States have the capital and skilled labor of every kind which this island wants. Under our govern- ment San Domingo can supply the United States with cheap cofige and sugar, and incréase our coas! id home market. The military defense would be inconsiderable, and no more an object of solicitade than a great Part ofour own coast, or that of the West India islands generally. Its naval defense would need no addition to our fleet. The chief detense of all these islands is the maritime strength of the countries to which they belong. San Domingo, trom it; capacity for tropical productions, which the comfort of our own people requires, is a necessity to America, and never, perhaps, in the tide ef ti have any people reecived the offer of 80 valuable a possession for so small a con- sideration. The Nab poses cry of speculation interests in behalf of annexation seems to be en- titled to small consideration, since capital and enterprige is just what are wanted here, and the more the better, all being tree to enter this great and inviting field of profitable investment and production. Like objections would with much more force opps to the annexation of California. After all, it is only the sovereignty that the United States really needs in the in- terests of our and those peeple.

He thought it could and should be passed witl- out oppositi ‘The ill was taken up and read. Mr, Howell said the Committee on Pensions had reported this bill without amendments, because it was feared that if it went back to the House it would be discussed and lost. The com- mittee thought it was best to sct the matter on toot, and hereafter some amendments to the law as were judicious may be made. Mr. McCreery, tor his colleague (Mr. Davis) who was absent, moved an amendment striking out the clause requirin; Pps asa at the said this amendment was offered tor the reason that it was thought unjast to these parties to require them to submit to the humiliation of proving their own poverty. Mr. Soreman moved an amendment, to the effect that 90 days service, whether consecutive or not, should be sufficient to entitle to a pen- sion. Mr. Morton coincided in the propriety of the amendment suggested by Mr. McCreery. He did not think it proper ihat these pensioners should be competied to prove their own poverty. Mr. Kamsey asked what was the probable amount to be required for the payment ot these pensions. Mr. Howell sa: more than HALF A MILLION PER APNUM TO START WITR, and as but tew of the survivors were under + years ot age, in the course of nature this amo would be continually decreased.

TRE PILL POR THE REPEAL OF THE INCOME TAX was then taken up. Mr. Scott gave a brief history of the income tax. and the promises held eut in its successive re-enactments for its speedy abolition. He then said tnat he did not propose to repeat the argument made by him at the last session on the matter, It he must repeat tl the tax was odious. unequal, tutional, and sound policy dictated its immdi ate repes He then proceeded to point out the irregularitées of the tax.

They were permitted to approach within lees than two han- dred yards of the looped wall, wheu from the top and slope presently issued from the Prussian miautry a terrible and deadiy fire, which in an incredibly short space covered the ground with dead and wounded. It is imaposible to ascertain the exact loss of the French, bat by common | ment it is admitted to have been the bloodiest day’s fighting so far since the com- mene mnt of the siege. Corpses laid on the ground in tront of Bezauval often as many as six together.

Only shells were used early in the day, and as these tell among them they bolted before "e into action.
