Washington, Sept. I ". The Herald's
dispatch from Frederick, Itith, says, an ol
lioor just from Harper's Ferry, reports the
rebels have evacuated thai place in a great
hurry, Lot even waiting to parole the pris
tiling, of the following dimensions: Fx
tri Tie length, Kit feet; breadth of beam,
Ml feet;' depth of hold, 6 feet. Their
nra anient consists of lii gnus each, of
heavy metal. To afford greater security
U the engines, etc., those portions sur
rounding them nre iron plated, each plate
being -2 incites thick. Each boat cost
$00,000. or $t;.K0U0 in all.
They are built very wide in proportion
to their 1 ngth, giving them almost the
same steadiness in action that a stationary
l.tnd battery would possess. They are con
structed on the same principle as thu fa
mous iron battery nt Charleston, the sides
sloping upward and downward from the
water line at an ang'e of 4 degrees. The
bow battery on each boat consists of solid
oak timber "Jl'i ii ches in thickness, plated
on the exterior surface with iron 2 J inch's
thick. The side mid stern batteries are
somewhat thinner, bat have the same thiek
iiess of iron over th.it portion covering the
machinery. The boats were built so that
in action tin v could le kept "bow on;"
hence the superior strength of the bow but
tipy. Proadsides Wire so arranged ns to
bj delivered with terrible tff.ct while shift
ing position. To facilitate movements in
action, the engines and machinery nre of
the mo.-t powerful kind. The boilers nre
live in number, constructed to work in con
nection with or independent of each other.
In case of damage done to any one or
more of them, a valve was arranged to
close the connection between the damaged
and undamaged boilers. What the-e
boats, provided bv the foresight of Gen ioiiMon.liv
Fremont, have done is already matter
history.

The net of Congress, upon which Ihe
Court decides, nnd fiom which we gnllnr
what "Congress intinded," is in tliese
words -"Kncli nol.s herein nulhori. d,
shall be receivable in pity men I of all tuxes,
internal duties, excises, debts, and demands
of ( v. ry kind due In thu United Stales, ex
cept duties on imporls, niul of nil chiiiuti
nnd l miiiiils ngainst Ihe Uniled Slates, of
every kind whatsoever, except for Interest
upon bunds und notes, which thiill Lu paid
m coin, nnd shull also be lawful money
and n legal tender in payment of all debts
public and private, within t,(. United
Slules, except duties on imporls nnd inter-
cut us uloresiiid." 4Now that Congress did
nut mean by " debts'' such " obligations
for the tfiyincnl of money ns nru founded
on contract," is proven by tho exception of
tariff dues. If (Jongreks hud used the
wor.l dins instead of "debts," it would
huvo more clearly embraced duties on im
ports nnil might hnvo suved tho California
KoIoiih from fulling int0 n blunder. Put
when the net says (hat thu miles shull bo n
l.gal tender for ull " debts except duties
on imporls," Is it not palpable thnl (he
word "debt" is used for dues? nnd cannot
any school boy see that If Congress had
meant by debts such obligations nil nro
founded on contract, duties on Imports
would not Imvo been eirrptetll nn tnriff
