EFFECT OF WAR.—We have just received the
annual report of the auditor of Kentucky. It Con-
tains a statement of the taxable property for 30 odd years,
and from it we find that in 1860 the taxable'property of our
State was valued at nearly 517,000,000 dols; in 1861 it fell
off 62,000,000 dols, and in 1862 113,060,000 dols, so that
the aggregate depreciation has been over 165,000,000 dots,
and our state has been put back eight or ten years. The
decrease in the valuation of articles subject to taxation ex-
tends to every article in the list. Comparing their value
in 1862 with that of the previous year, the valuation of land
has decreased 50,468,747 dols ; of town lots, 10,365,266 dols ;
of slaves, 30,706,168 dols ; of horses and mares, 4,089,625
dols; of mules, 1,539,113 dols; of jennies, 107,430 dole; of
cattle, 1,078,045 dots; of
stores, 3,905,574 dole; biaa under
the Equalisation Law 10,759,491 dole, teing an aggregate
of nearly U 3,000,000 dols for
' the financial year ending the
10th of October, 1802,
while for the year previous the de
crease was 52,294,131.—Louisville JournaI.NOTTINGHAM
