in devlsng means for transporting the men

shoal water it can be done only by the use of
flat boats, which yet remain TO be constructed.
We have sent them all the spare spars and lum-

at Aranzas yesterday morning with orders to

their multiplicity oftracks and crosses, and fur
ther pursuit was abandoned in utter hopeless

How it Happened,

There are many speculatons as to the cause
of the failure of the 81, Clair Bank We give
abe following from the Sandusky Mirror, as the
latest:
1t is due TO the public who do not see the hii-
den springs at work in this operation that we
make the following explanation of the immedi-
ate causes that seem TO have led to this failure.
II is known that Jesse Smith of Cleveland, is a
large steamboat owner. Last season there was
steamboat combination formed. BY the terms
Of that combination it was agreed that the boats
were to stop regularly at all the ports the lake
of any considerable importance. Through the
season, however, large portion of the boats,
thinking it Of little consequence which boat car
ried the passengers, neglected 10 comply with
this agreement and only stopped at few ports
where they found il convenient, obIigng the
public TO travel by land to meet them at such
points. The combination was also found to work
otherwise greatly 10 the Inconvenience and dis
advantage Of the public. Mr.. Smith then de-
cIarcd that the boats which he controlled should
not again enter into a combination, and aceor-
dinghy this season refused TO come into any ar
rangcment Of the kind. The otaer heavy stoum.
boat owners determined 20 force bin from his po,
siiion. II was known that he was the controller
and supposed 70 be the principal owner Of the St
Clais Bank, and that he was personally response
ble for large amount, Of lis circulation. The
steamboat companies, therefore, proceeded to ga
tder all the ST. Clair paper possible, and run i

in Michigan, or at 4'smiih g. Sons" Cleveland
with a determination 10 compel Smith to come
10 their terms, Or, break the bank. The sudden
run upon The bank, thus produced, obliged it tc

New Mail Route.

There is portion of our county which lays
between Cadiz and Frceport, entirely destitute
of PIstOffice. Aud in fact there is but little
communication between this place and Frecport
or Tippecanoe, owing to the bad arrangement OF
the cross mails. Papers published here on Tues
days and Wednesdays cannot reach Freeport OF
Tippecanoe iii less than five or six DAYS They
are first sent to Smyrna, and rtmai1 there until
taken up by the cross mail from the Cumberland
Road. 10 obviatc this difficulty, there ought 10
be change in this mail So that The papers pub
Iished here on Wednesdays, and the great body
of the news from all quarters which is brought
here by that time, could be taken up nj Smyrna
on Thursdays and be received at Frceport aud
Tippccanoe Oh the same day. TO effect this, it
would require a change i'll the departure Of the
mail. The citizens of Nottingham, however, arc
much more at a loss for want ola convenient
place Of getting news, They are entirely dcsti-
tuc of Pust.Oflicc in their own township, and
have either TO 60 10 some of the adj accnt villa
ges for their papers, letters, &c. on purpose, or
tC Cadz, distance Of some ten or Twelve miles.
This portion of our county would be accommo-
dltcd loo, without any material disadvantage 10
the Government. All that would be necessary
in this case, would be to change the route of the
way-maiI between this and Gnadenhutten, 'Fus-
carawas CO., through Nottingham, which might
intcrsec The present rou at Deersyillc or Browns
vile, but which is not necessary, as those places
receive their news bythe Wheeling and Wooster
mail much earlier. AS these changes could be
made with advantage to the Government and be
beneficial to the people, ia the portion of the
county spoken Of, we see no reason why it can
not be brought about.
The citizens in the townships interested should
move in this matter, SO they can receive the nd
vantage the New Post Office Law, which take.

ArRcA.-The condition OF the American set.
elements is improving gradually. The settlers
can, with reasonable industry, secure all the
comforts and many of the luxuries of life. The
manumitted slaves are avcrse to agriculture, be-
cause they consider it degrading to freemen and
as the occupation OF slave. They are fond Of
barel, in which, like the natives, they are very
shrewd and expert.
The lawful trade of western Africa has been
slowly increasing during the last few years. 1t
is chiefly in the hands II the English, but the
few American vessels engaged in il are doing
we'll. In proportion as The traffic in slaves is
checked, ihe lawful trade will increase. The
slave trade is certainly on the decline, though il
is still prosecuted 10 considerable extent by
vessels from Cuba and the Brazis.-Cin. Eng.

MORE ABOUT THE TAX LAW!
Ebr Me Cad, Senlin.l

AA FVf ne Cdaas Scittia;5. y
hIt ERIroRs--As the pubic mind has been
attracted, IN measure, TO the suseci of taxa
ton, by ile late 9 Tax I.aN;s we boiiese that i'll
would be favorable time to review our whole
system Of taxaiinn, which certainly contains ma
ny things both impolite an9 unequal.
Every good citizen is willing to contribute his
share 4he support OF Government, and All ne
eessary public expenses; but whenever that
share is more Than in justice il shoald be, bis
rights and interests are aggriesed, and he shosiIi
demand, at his Legislative Tribunal, prompt re-
dress.
Equality is tho graad basis OF Freedom, and
every deviation lrora that principle should be no
nesty exposed, and timely corrected: especial.
lg so, in matter as important as thar of the
amount d taxes assessed yearly in Ohio, being
from twO 10 three millions of dollars
We believe that Capital, and not Labor, should
pay the tax, and that without respect to its in
vesmcn'; that is, every person should pay per
centum according 10 what he is actually worth,
whether that c,nssls of ''rca estate, /" "personal
property" money at interest" or money IN the
pocket or drawer, of which no investment, what
ever, !as been made.
For this purpose, ''rcal estate" should be va
,ued at IFS true cash value, taking into considers
ton the actuil improvements upon the premises
as well as local adyanlages-thusp placing its APP
IpTascmeut Eor taxation AT what it is really worth
The average valuation Of land now taxable il
Ohio is about four dollars per acre, which, per
haps, on a liberal calculation, is not more thar
one third Of its c;sh value So capital in
vested in land has formerly paid only abou
one third as much tax as capital invested in mer
r chandizc, or loaned On interest, where it has al
been gwen in, The late "Tax Law" no doub
designed TO equalize this; but still it material,
-, fails, as much ''real estate" is not appraised a
half its true value; and after the Traders 0
Merchants capital is reduced fifty per cent, h,
! pays, in many instances, greater proportion
. than the man owning real estate.
Again: personal property such as horses, cal
4
stead Of fxod sum- Horses arc now valued
/, at $40, and cattle at So each, when ofcn, on
of either may be worth double or treble as muc
as another. These, as we'll as every other art
Gle of personal property, should, we believe, b
valued when listed, at their true value; then
: were "real estate" appraised at It's real value
and every one required TO give in, under on
head, an amount equal 10 the value of his unap
q praised property, equality and justice would b.
= better maintained, and less expense ncune
- in taking the assessments, than under their va
. rious heads, and entering the same in their va
rious columns OH the tax duplicate, as is now re
. CURED.
Much might be said on this subject; but thcs
! general views are given briefly, with the hop
! that the subject may continue to be agaitatec
until thorough reformation is effected in ou
