In the trana-Mississippi department the situation waa f! |] more critical, and the Union prospect looked darker than it bad any time aince the first year of ibe rebellion, The rebels under Paros sud other loacers had overran the greater part of Arkansas, Lousiana and Missouri ; a formidable Caufederate ermy bad forced its way almost to the Northern leundary of the Iatter State, and Bt, Louis, the yre ot Western metropolis, was panic-stricken with foar for \ts own safety. While the situation looked thus gloomy in the interior, the border presented no more mnronragement. The rebel seaports — Sovannab, Charleston, Wilmington and the rest— tuceked the seemingly futile eflorte of our neve to capture them, while the last named was Virtually an open port, from which the rebels not only sent forth pirates at will to prey upon and de- e@ roy onr coromerce, but throvgh which they re- celrod an !neersant stream of supplies from Europe, roucering Wilmington tn fact the artery that sup- y lied the life blood of the rebellion.

It is by no means remarkable that the revelation editerials in @ leading Now York journal are written by a person of unsound mind ecnfined in the Bloomingdale Insane Retrest should have the identity of the paper alluded to. One would imogine that there would be no difficulty whatever upon this point and thats mere glance at the columns of the city papers would settle the ques tion as to which of toem was edited by the Bloom- ingdale = gentiernan, But this is by no means the case, and it now appears that they all have nearly equal claims for the honor, At first, public opinion waa most unan!- mous in designating the Hana. as the lucky jour- nahand it must be confessed that {t presents almost irresistible claims, It has all the signs of coufirm- edlunacy. It is continually changing; takes up men and measures only to run them down again, and presente as many different faces within a month en “the pale inconrtant moon," which has afforded a name for this form of madness. With these well known = char- acteriation it wonld arem uasiesa to look beyond the pages of the Hrnatn for traces of the person of “unsound mind" that ‘writes editorials for a lend. ing New York daily" Butit is found that other papers have claims which it would be equally in- vidious and unjust to overlook, The Trinexa for exainple, could compete with the Hmuatp with reasonable prompecta of success. Its socialistic and free love tendencies ; ite sectionaliam and sectari- anism, end advocacy of disanion until the Bouth took it at ite word; all go to show that « “person of unsound mind" must bave long enjoyed the monopoly of ite columns. If it were not for the Humarn, the Trinune would stand @ good chance of bearing off the palro of lunacy, and if it were not for the Timm it would be a drawn game between these journals. We find, however, that the Times has pecnliar claims of its own, which cannot fail to be recognized and back- od by ite numerons readers, It is great on strategy, without even getting beyond * the elbows of the Mincio,”” and will twist and turn for “number one" with an erraicrmentsi dexterity that Letraye unmistakable evidence of a Blooming: als origin, Here then, we have three daily papers, all claiming to be leading, and all affording prima facia evidence of being written by ‘a person of un- sound mind," thus renlizing in the Bloomingdale gentleman, Mra.

Only those journals that twist facta fore purpose, and to serve polltical ends, have any just claim to the bonors of Bloom ingdale editors sip. The Revenue Question— Taxation of Sales. A whiven in the Timms of this city advocates the taxation of sales on grounds nearly identical with those advanced by the 8c upon this question Fle differs only in raatter of details relating to the col- lection of the tax by means of stamp rece|pts for large sums, and monthly exhibition of account books for emall sales—under say one dol- lar, Upon this point, we bold that it would be more simple and profitable to dispense with the cumbersome method of stamps, and adopt the uniform mode of o»llee tion by returns of the arnount of rales for a]! sums, large snd small, The stamp system imposes cons. - derable trouble upon dealers in purchasing stampa which may not be always available, and is oper also to tho objection that applica to the present mode of requiring producers to advance an Amount of capital ior the purchase of stamps, thus tn- creasing the cost to the consumer, besides withdrawing @ largo amount of money from reproductive industry, The inducements to frand ero so elicbt, aud any false returns aro #9 easily detected, that this meth»d could be safely adopted, It ie desirable that we should have as little cireum- locution as possible, aud the stamp system woull involve the employment of a small army of officals which may Le dispensed with. Upon other points, however, the views of the writer aro eminently sound, His calculations of the productiveness of a uniform tax on sales, while exceeding the mini- mum estimate of this journal, wil!, woare convinend, be found within the bounds of reality, We quote: The tax on sales reaches ail classes, without ex- ception, from the highest to the lowest, but bears so lightly at any one nointas to be in no sense burdensome, even to the poorest, Hach pays tax inexact proportion to his expenditure; each, by the practice of economy, {a left free to dim nish his tax at pleasure, or, by indulgence and extrava- @ance, to add to it, It leaves all the productive powers of the country—the source of all our pros. Fenty, and al ity to pay taxcs at all—entirely un- ettered, to exert their utmost energies to add to the sum of national wealth, Is keops the auemen- tation of prices #o far as due to the imposiciou of faxes, atthe minimum point, teudine powertully to dissolve trade combinations, which have been so universally entered into by manufacturers, osiensi- bly, at first, to secure themselves from loss on ac- count of the heavy excise duties levied upon them, but, finally, with the avowed purpose, well under. stood, of maintaining high prices, The real and persoual ustate of the United States ia set down in the census of 1860, at the sum o° $16 910,000,000, A tax equal to one-balt of ove per cent im this amount leview by Congress and sppor- tione.! among the several States would y eld in the Joye) States $65,000,000, The remainder would be a lien on the real and persons) estate of the insurgent Biares, to be collected on their restoration w the Union, Tuis tex could be most conveniently, and fomonice:| collected, through the tex agencies of mm the Brooklyn lunsey ense of the fact that tha olicted such a wide diversity of opinion respecting Rut the main reliance of the Government for revenue should be on a un!form tax on sales of mer- chandise. The total quantity of merchandise sold in the loyal States, at present prices, in one year, has been estimated in value, at $12,000,000,000; and as a!! merchandise changed hands on an averace three t mes, the total sales in one fear would amount to $26, 000,090,000 This result is rentered highly prob. abie by the following estimate ; The population of the loyal Sintes may be set down, at the present time, to 22,000,000, We think in assuming an ave- rage annual expenditure, at whol: eale poices, of £50 per head, we shall be considered within the truth. It isequivalens, at the present price ot gold, to $20 85 por uead, in prices of 1869, This would thake the first aale amount to $1,100,000,000, Add 10 per cont, for jobbers’ profita, and the second male would amount to #1,210,000,000, Add 20 per cent. for retailers’ ofita, aud the third sale would amount to él 000,000, Total sales, #6,762,000,- 0). To be entirely within the truth, eal! the total sales, for one year, £50,000,000,000, This wonld be at the rate of #16 65 per head in prices of 1860, A two per cent. tax on this eum would yield $600,000,000, Taking the estimated amounts of custora duties and revenue from miscellaneous sources as given in Secretary Feesenden's report of the Treasury Department, snd we bave the fol- lowing result af the possible revenue of the Gov- ernment for one year ;¢ oa real and personal estate on sales of morchandine....

There is uv possible way of collecting this tax, we think, simple, certain, practical, aaie and ceononienl, aw that by the use of stamps. Let the Revenue Liaw require that every salo amounting to the sum of one uollar and upward, be accompan- jed, or completed by @ memorandum, bill of paer- cely or invoice, to which suall be attached in starups, by the seller, the amount of the tax; and that the seme amount shal! be aided to the net amount of the bill, to be paid as part of the bill or invoice by the purchaser. Thun, at the laat sale, the whole tax !s inful!ibly collected from the cou- summer, who, all agree, should pay it. It is not alone sufficient that the proper stamps be attached; it $s essential that their value shonla be mided to the invoice, thus surely levying the tax, finally, where it belongs, on the consumer; and, at warpe time, by ent sling a uniform practice Aon, Manufacturers, inercoante and traders, ¢'- fectually neutralizing the tax, as a disturber of Prices, and au elernent of tujurious competition on the ono hand, or extortionate conibinativn on the other.
