Rank taxation.

Tho people of this county pay about one
Der cent in Taxes, as will be seen by our ex-
tract from The Auditors Organ what the
Bankers pay may bo gathered from the fol-
lowing article from the Cleveland Times:
The aggregate capital stock Of the bank
ING companies of this State, is $S,S7l,-
100 Os. This includes the two millions
loaned ON real estate by The Life and Trust
Company, mammoth concern with a per-
petual Charter, which will in time swallow up
the entire wealth of the State, unless put
down by r,ightier po,Oer than that of law.
This aggre gate capital, if taxed as other prop
erty, at tho rate of one per cent, (Which is
below the average rate of State and county
tax throughout the state,) would have to pay
into the treasury an annual tax of EIGHTY
EIGHT THOUSAND, SEVEN HUNDRED
AND SEVENTEEN DOLLARS AND
TWENTY-NlNE CENTS. According to
Auditor Woods statement, the semil'annual
bank taxes have amounted TO $l7,654 IL,
equal TO an annual tax Of $35, ,70S 25. Sub
tract this sum from the amount which they
ought Justly 10 have paid, which we have CIV
en- above, and it will be seen that the def
cheney amounts to 0tr FlFTY-TW y
THOUSAND, FOUR HUNDRED AND
NINE DOLLARS AND NINE CENTS.-Gr9
OF this enormous amount are the people dir
ectly robbed, in one year, by this Infamous
law. Such facts as these require no COM
mcnt. They stand out in bold relief. "Fig-
ures will not lie."
But this amount large as it is, is only a
drop in the bucket. Our farmers, mechanics
and merchants areftaxed Sor every dollar
they may hold, in the shape Of promissory
notes. The banks have in their possession
nearly ELEVEN MILLIONS of dollars in notes
of this description, upon which they pay not
one cent of tarss, not even lax upon the
INTEREST accruing from, which would a.
mount to very considerable sum.

Gen. Taylor in a letter TO the editor OF the
Morning Signal, a neutral paper Of Cincln'
na,i, says ain NO CASE CAN PERMIT Myself
TO biz riE CANDIDATE or ANY PARTY, Oh
YIELD MYsELy TO PARTY SCHEMES" The
letter is written approving Of an article in
the Signal relative 10 the next candidate fol
President The General says:
"Wth these remarks, l trust you will par
don me for thus briefly replying to you.
which do with high opinion and decided
approval of the sentiments and views EN-
braced in your editorial"
That our readers may understand what
are Taylol's views we make the following ex-
tract from the editorial Of the Signal:
The country has been devided for fifteen
years upon the most exciting topics, and If
Gen. Taylor, Immediately upon his inaugur-
alton as President, was constrained TO adopt
either extreme, the consequences might be
fatal 10 the success Of Of his administration.
II 50 happens. however, that the results OF
Mexican hostlities will remove many OF
those points of colsion-at least for few
years. A debt of one hundred millions in
duces the necessity Of a tariff, sufficiently
advanced in its rates 10 satisfy New Eng
land and Pennsylvania, and, at the same
time, will prevent any distribution Of the
proceeds of the public lands. We cannon
suppose that the wings will again urge Bank
of the United States, and Congress will in
sist upon fair trial ofthe Independent Treas
ury, removing some of those impractble re.
strictions which have embarrassed the fiscal
action of the government, and are an annoy
ahce to individuals So far, therefore, as
the past contests Of the respective parties
are concerned, an administration composed
of the leading minds of all parties, and sup
ported by the whole peo pie, is not only prac-
tible, but may rebound o the highest inter
ests Of the whole country.
BY this il will be seen that if the whi g.
nominate Gen Taylor, their act would be q
virtual surrender of all they have hitherto claim
ed as whig principles besides being an apPro
val Of the war they have so unsparingy con-
'demned. Gen. Taylor will not be the whie
candida te-the Wing StateC Central Committee
at Colu mbus in giving the cold shoulder to
his nominal ton, expressed the true feelings
of Fed eralism towards the gallant soldier.

with few Introductory remarks thereto, was

his usual happy style the procession was re-
formed and returned TO the house Of Mr.

or The Simmer term of the Court of
Common Pleas commenced its session yes
terday, Judge Good presiding, assisted by
his associates, Judges McClish, Sackett and
Skinner. In his charge TO the Grand Jury
Judge Good adverted to our article in rela-
ton to the case of Tremains. We might re-
ply, but feel indisposed to urge the matter
further before the public, through newspa-
per discussion, not that we believe that pro-
prety demands the withdrawal ofthe acts Of
the Judiciary from public scrutiny, but when
it can be avoided we consider it preferable.
Satisfied that we have done the Court no in.
Justice, we forbear further comment.
The criminal business of the term is light,
as also the civil cases. We consider how
ever this additional term as highly advanta.
geous in promoting the more speedy admin
stration ofjustice.

SAD NEWS FROM THE PLAINS.

Capture of a Wagon Iraia-Marder of
TeamSters-Stampcdc of CaltIs.
A gentleman arrived in town last evening,
from Wesiport, who informs us that Just De-
fore his departure, Delaware Indian had ar
rived from the Plains, giving an account Of a
wholesale murder of leamsiess, by a combn-
ed force of Arraphahoes, Camanchcs and
Pawnees. The Indian is ille son ofNacomo,
the principal chef Of the Delawares; and is
generally considered man Of yeraei!y. He
was found prisoner at Taos, when Colonel
Price took that place, and was liberated
His story is, that having started bomeward,
hc fell in with a large body Of Indians, of the
tribes mentioned, OIL the Arkansas. They
made him prisoner, and only spared his life
on the condition that he would Join them
against the whites. He sets their number
down at two hundred fres,' which would
make the total number ofthe force about one
thousand men.
Near Walnut creek, he states, this lormid-
able party met and attacked train of thirty
wagons, drawn by mule teams, and accom-
panied only by the drivers and eight or ten
horsemcn. The Indians surrounded them,
and charging suddenly, drove the teamsters
from their saddles, and massacred every man
of the party! The wagons were loaded with
government stores, which, with the mules,
the Indians appropriated to their own use.
The day succeeding this massacre, young
Nacon,a was permitted 10 depart; having been
presented with fine large American mule.
This animal bears the mark "U. S." and has
been recognised as one of those belonging
to government train which left Fort Leav-
enworth few weeks since.
When our infornan. left Wes'port, Maj
John Dougherty,who recently started for San
ia Fe, with $50 head of cattle was there for
the purpose of employing more men. Near
Council Grove, his herd made stampede,
and one hundred and fifty escaped. 1t was
to 20 in search of these that the additional
aid would be required. Council Grove is
one hundred and forty miles distant from
Westport.
We further learn, that the Delawares are
preparing to send war party against the
Osages. The latter tribe have recently Ia
ken the Delaware scalps! The Indian who
gave the information respecting the murder
ofthe teamsters, says there were few Osages
among the murdefers.

burgh Post.
PHILADELPHIA, June 26th, sh. 40m. A. M.
BY the arrival of the Southern mail at
Fredericksburgh we have advices one day la
ter frem New Orleans; and the latest advices
from Tampco.
BY this arrival we learn that there wcro
only three hundred and fifty troops at that
point, who were capable of performing duty
so great was the sickness among the sol
diers.
1t IS also stated that Pauline, noted Mex
lean lancer and robbcr, was at the head ofa
large party of gucrillas, carrying devastation
throughout the neighboring country; and
committing acts Of robbery and murder upon
all who fell in his way, whethet Mexicans or
Americans.
A fearful amount of disease was said 10 be
prevailing among the Louisville Volunteers
at Tampico. Deaths were very numerous.
A rumor had reached New Orleans, that
the troops under Gen. Cadwalader, who
went cut TO the assistance fCol Mcintosh,
had been attacked by guerill1s; but tho re
suit Of the affair was not known. There is
no doubt, however that they were driven from
the field.
The brig Mobile, from New York, with
large number of troops on board, had been
wrecked off the Florida coast. The brig, it
is said, is total loss; but all the troops and
the crew were sayed-barely escaping with
their lives.
The Picaynne has late advices from Ja-
lapa, which state that.Lt. Mahan, who was
reported as having been killed in duel some
time since, though still alvei was not ex-
pected to survive his wounds.
The latest accounts fom the upper colin
try, state that Gen. Urrea was in the neigh
bOrhood Of Victoria.

PROSPECT NF PEACE.

Itseems To be understood in Washington,
by all men of all parties, that we are to have
peace soon. This impression is, as far as |
can perceive, founded OH no definite intell
gence; but arises from the fact, that as Scott
advances, strong peace party begins TO
make itself heard in The capital of the enc
my. have never for an instant doubted
that Scott's arrival before the city gates
would be The signal for any quantity of prop
ositions; coming too, really, from class Of
men not heretofore Of much weight in Mex
lean public affairs. The business mex of the
il.fated republic hereafter bid fair to occupy
their proper relative position, as far as inAu-
ence in shaping the action Of their govern
ment is concerned: The state ofZacaiecas,
with other powerful allies, il is now known,
are far more hostile to the war party OF Mex
leo, than to the Americans whom they re-
gard as deliverers. Yucatan has already me-
gotiated (so-called) neutrality, and Arista,
the purest and ablest public man in the re-
public; is beginning TO be looked 10 in the
city as the real head and front Of ihe peace
party, whose ostensible leader Herrera, just
elected President. knew Arsta well, by
character, long before this war broke out;
and | knew him only to regard him as a
+high-mnded, intelligent, we'll informed, en-
ergetc, and patriotic. Hundreds Of Mexi-
cans have been his prisoners. They say of
him universally, that he is the only Mexican
never known to forfeit his word or TO lie. If
mistake not, whel banshed may years ago,
he went to Cincinnati and though fage, en-.
tered machine shop to learn the bnsinesss
and persevered in it long enough 10 become
as good an engine builder as the city OF Gin
cinnati then contained! This fact is an ear
nest that he possessed the character neres-
sary, if at the head of the government, teach
his unfortunate countrymen how TO enjoy
that liberty Of which they have prated SO
much, and tasted so little Washington

A VERY SINGULAR DECISION has just been
made by Judge Rogers, efthe Boston Court.
He had decided that umbrellas are not COM
mon property, but that ifone is carried off by
any other than the legitimate owner, ii
amounts to larceny, even if shower is pour4
ing down at the time. This decision crea-
ted great deal Of excitement among the
gentlemen who are always caught in the
rain without their own umbrella. If another
decision could be had declaring that there
may be private ownership in penknives,
we should have some hope that things would
20 on right hereafter, and society would pro-
gress with an unexampled speed

GooD.--A son of Erin, just arrived in this
