IMPORTANT STATEMENT OF THE COMMISSIONER OF INTERNAL KEVENUE. * Commissioner of Internal Reveuue Bontwell has sub- maitted bis frst statement conceruing the trangactions of that bureau, from which it appears that the entire num- der of persons employed in assessing and collecting the Feveuue ix 3 He has not the means at the present ‘timo of estimating with confiieuce the amount of revenue which will be derived under the excise law of July, 1361. During the last month he has caused carofal in- ‘Vestigaiion to be tuted into the several sources of Tovenwe, and an estimate to be made of the amount ‘which may be derived from exch. According to this, he roceived (rom aii sources excepting stump duties, during the current fiscal year oodiug with Juse uoxt, the sum $61,177,709. He estim vice that the receipts from stamp dutics during the samo period will amount to $15,000,00)+ making an aggrognte sum of $16,777,799. It may be asserted (hat, without material change in the business of the courtry, the revenue from the same gurce, for the fiseal year i869 and 1804, will not be tess han $150,000,000. ‘The estimates of receipts and ex- Penditures show the cost ot assessing and collecting the taxes under ihe present sy covium, , The Commissioner hae tho strongest confidence that in tho States now acknowle’ ing the authority of the con- stitution the expense can nover exceed three per contum, He makes many importint suggestions, taclnding modi- Bortions of the !aw and the appoluimens ot @ solicitoy or legal adviser. : OUn RELAT WITH PRANCE.

CAUSE OF THE FAILURE AT VICKSBURG. Despatches received here represent that General Sher, man acted at Vicksburg under orders of General Grant, and with the beliof that the latcer would form a junction with him. He was not notified of the fag that General Graat’s communication with him bad been intercepted: It is said that the official reports wil! vindicate General Sherman from the censure cast upon nim, These des. Patches state that an excellent uoderstanding exists be tween General Sherman and General bicCiernaud. CAPTURES ON THE LOWER POTOMAC. The Navy Departmest has received despatches from Commodore Harwood, commanding the Potomac flotilla, dated the 19th inst., stating that the Leslie arrived at Hampton Roads on Sunday, with the schooner Hamptoa,. of Baltimore, in tow, which was captured by the Curri tuck on the morning of tho 13th, in Dividing creek. The Commodore states that the vessel cleared light as possible for the oyster trade, but took in her cargo at Baltimoro, Fue had on board several passengers, who, from letters found on board, appeared to be persons who had beon in (Se ably of pars to and from Virginia. At thé tims of the Capidro of the Hampton acanoe a, Lue same time escaped, but was afterwards taken ag InJtane reek, not, Lewever, unti! her crew had escaped to the woods, aud the principal part her , it is supposed, had been thrown oygbeard. ae Commodore Peo reports that before these oc: currences the Gurrituck broke up for the prosont an es- tablisiment for supplying salt to Richmond by d the Eititos used ty the manufacture. It appears from the report of Acting Master Linnekin, commanding the Currituck, that when he arrived at Bividing creek he was informed by a negro that at South- west firanch there was a iarge manufactory of salt and a steam ypill, owned by a man aamed Oscar Lestey who had been extensively engaged in supplying th® rebels with salt. The Commander of the Currituck pro- ceeded thither, sent a party on shore and destroged all the kettles, &o., with the exception of the boiler, and let word to the proprietor to discontinue the oacupation under penalty of the complete destruction of the mil, aud a large amooot of lumber contiguous, Dividing creek is one of the points to which George N. Sanders advised his correspondents to make shipments, MORE INDIAN TROUULES APPREBENDED.

He states that at present there need be no apprehension of any jonlt Mr. Burley brought with him as far as Sioux City, Iowa, the white prisoners who wore captured by the Sioux and ransomed by our goverment. GREELEY’S MISSION A FAILURE, Greoley has gone home with a flea in bis ear. The Presiddut was tired of him, and the leading radical Sena- tors treated with contempt his warnings as the feeling in New York. THE MIRINSYRY COURT MARTIAL. It is understood that the finding of the Court Martial, which has been investigating the case of Gen. McKinstry for weeks—nay, for months past—has been at length received by the authorities at Washington; and it will probably be promuigated in the same manner as the decision in the cave of the Fitz Joun Porter inquiry. It is said that the verdict in this case of General McKinstry is a complete vidtication of that oMcer during his con. nection with the army in tbe West. PROCEEDINGS OF THE SENATE. ‘The Senate persisted to-day in taking np the bill for reorganizing the Court of Claims, though Mr. Hale stated that its main object was to provide places for friends who had ben killed off politically iu the late election. Mr. Sherman streauousty urged the superior impor- tance of @ bill for improving the condition of the army? for proper appropriations and financial measures, o¢ pecially for an act regulating executive arrests amd im” prisonments, or else there wonld be collision betweea the national and State authoritics. t Mr. Doolittie adverted to the important fact that the Supreme Court of Wisconsin had decided that the sus- pension of the habeas corpus in the case of persons im- prisoned iu that State for resisting the draft was uncon- stitutional. ASSISTANT SECRETARY OF STATE. Mr. F. W. Seward, Assistant Secretary of State, having gone to New York for a few days, his aasistant, Mr- Webdster, will act as Assistant Secretary of State ad ix teri. oying THE RAILROAD TO THE PACIFIC. During the last session of Congress, ax you will re. member, the Pacific Railroad bit! was passed by Congress, authorizing the organization of a company for the building of a road, ond giving them « loan of one hundred millions of dollars to be disposed of in the establish- ment of this project, It was understood by the government as well as by the public, that the road was 10 be congtructed ax a military route, wilt ali the adv: tages of topographical surveys, &.
