To the Surviving Tax.Payers of 1854

A word of comfort to such as may
survive the taxes of 1854. The State
levy for the coming year vas fixed by
the last Legislature at three mills and
tuo-tezathS on the dollar, or $500 On
each thousand Dollars. This is thirty
five cents less per thousand dollars, than
last year. The two Lunatic Asylums,
for which this State has been taxed
Sl60 900 are now finished and paid for.
One half the State tax for the coming
year is for School purposes alone, saving
all District Township or County taxes
for said purpose. Thus the wealth of
the State is made to educate the youth
of the State. Misers and rich old bach
elors have to contribute to this fund,
and help educate the children, however
much they may hate the mothers. The
other half of the State leavy is to pay
the interest on our State debt, which
debt, has been largely diminished with
in the last year, and also defray the need
full expense of government, which there
being no session of the Legislature, are
necessarily small. So cheer up, tax-pay-
ers. The State is doing its duty. If
our city and township expenses can be
curtailed in proportion to State expen-
ses, there viii be little left for the re-
form to do. Bring dom the city levy
from eleuen mills On the dollar to about
fue, and the county to about taco, making
a total for State, County and City purpo-
ses one cent on the dollar then make
Banks located in cities, where they en-
Joy all the protection of municipal
laws, and all the benefits of city expen-
dit2res, laws, and all the benefits of city
expenditures, pay theiriuS proportion
Of the torcS, and we will guarantee nc
more grumbling about burthens ei

The JAPANESE PREsENTs.-Sunday
packages of presents to the President by
the Emperor of Japan, in return for
those forwarded from hence by the hands
of Commodore Perry, have reached
Washington, with them being sundry
packages for officers of the expedition,
which, under the law, must be deposit
ed, at last temporarily, in the State de-
partment-that is, until Congress may
give them leave to accept them. The
Star says.
The contents of the packages are said
to be silks, swords, writing tables, deli
cate and fragile ornaments, vases, bowls
of glass and other materials, umbrellas,
mats, bells, jars, cabinets, flower box,

in relation to the recent'discovery which

While he admits that bank notes prin-

of some entire new process, at present
not dreamed of, to enable photography
to counterfeit all bank notes, particular

N. Y, Cattle Market--Harbor Greek
Operations.
The ISri6nne of the 25th says:

The Iri6nne of the 25th says: :
The number of beef cattle received in
the city last week was SPAS. A good
ly portion of these were from the west
ern states, all of which have to pass the
home of the railroad rioters about Erie,
Pennsylvania.
A drover Informed US, yesterday, that
he had to stop aud feed his cattle with
a man near Harbor Greek. who sent his
own team, and hired a man, and paid
him $3.50 a day, to help break up the
railroad, soleley with the view of feec-
ing the drovers who would be compell-
ed to stop with him.
1t is the intention of drovers to COM
mence suit for damages, for the deten-
ton of cattle, by which they have suffer
ed more than $1,000. AS the road was
broken at Harbor Greek, by authority
.oftho town, lawyers are of opinion that
the town in Its corporate capacity is Ii
able.
Good Beeves sold yesterday at prices
equal to 10, I03 and lie. per pound, for
the beef in quarters.

THE KNOW NoTHTNGs.

We commend the following article,
which we clip from the Washington
Union, to the special attention of our
friends the Know Nothinga. Little
did the brave BARON DE KALB and La
FAYETrE suppose, when they devoted
their lives and fortunes to the cause of
American liberty, that a secret politi-
cal organization would rise up in after
days having for its object the disfran-
chiscment of foreigners. The United
States owes everything to the foreign
aid she received in the hour when eyenthe
strongest friends of the Revolution de-
SPARED of success. The aid which we
received in that dark hour, and which
saved the country, was from such as
are now 'sneeriugly styled foreign pau
IpefS. But to the extract:
There is something peculiarly inter-
esting in the history of Baron de Kalb.
Let US recall some ofthe incidents in his
career, now when we are demanded by
an arrogant party to annihilate the re-
COllCCl1OH VI O4C DIdb0 anu GGuCIOuo mCH
who came from other lands to suffer and
to die for the cause of American indie
pendence, twice assailed by the strongest
power of the Old World. He was a
German by birth. He wasin France a
knight of the order of military merit,
and a brigadier general in the French
army. He came to this country with
La Fayette; was appointed a major gen.
eral by Congress, and served at the head
of the Maryland division. He comman-
ded the right wing of the Americans at
Camden, s. c., and in that fearful con-
hict he fell, in his last attempt to achieve
a victory, pierced with eleven wounds.
He was rescued from immediate death
by the Chevalier du Ryssen, his aid,
land also a foreigner,O who embraced the
PROSTATE general, and received into his
own body the bayonets intended for his
friend, exclaiming, Save Baron de
Kalb; oh, ave the Baron de Kalb-'
The brave veteran survived the bloody
battle but a few days. Before his death
he spoke these noble Words 4 die the
death I always prayed fer-THE DEATH
OF A oLDIE FIGHTING o H RIGHTS
OF MAN. What a commentary upon
this language are the doctrines of the
new secret order! 1t is a voice from.
the grave of a great soldier, pleading
against the passions and the p~rejudices,
and to. the justice and the gratitude of
the present generation. When General
Washington visited Camden, many years
after, he went to the grave of the Ger
man patriot. After gazing uponit with
a countenance marked with deep thought,
he exclaimed, with a sigh: so, there
lies the brave De Kalb. the generous
stranger, qoho am from a distant land
to fight our battles, and to pcater aoith
his blood Metreeg our liberty. Would
to God lie had HUed to share its fruits.''
We shall have more to say on this sub
ject hereafter.

From the London Morning Post1
Queen Victoria and the Suffering Sol
diars

Perhaps, since the commencement of
the campaign, no document has found
it's way to the public so gratifying in its
nature as that which we here subjoin.
The earnest expression of Her Majesty's
anxiety for the brave men who have been
wounded in the service of the country,
will have the effect in the army it will
cosole the unfortunate who have already
suffered, and animate to increased ex-
ertion their comrades who have hitherto
escaped the accidents of war.
The letter was addressed by Her Most
Gracious Majesty to Mr.. Sidney Her
bert, and through him to Mrs. Herbert,
by whom it was transmitted to Miss
Nightingale:
"WINpaoR CASTLE, Dec. 6. 1854.
"Would you tell Mrs. Herbert that 1
begged she would let me see frequently
the accounts she receives from Miss
Nightingale or Mrs. Brace bridge, as I
hear no details Of the a0oMnde@, though L
see SO many from officers, &C., about the
battle field, and naturally the former
must interest me more than anyone.
"Let Mrs. Herbert also know thai
I wish Miss Nightingale and the ladies
would tellt hese poor noble wounded and
sick men that NO ONE takes a warmer
interest, or feels more for their sutferlngs
or admires their courage and heroism
MORE than their Queen. Day and night
she thinks of her beloved troops. So
does the Prince.
"Beg Mrs. Herbert to communicate
these few words to those ladies, as 1
know that our sympathy is much valued
by these noble fellows.
[signed] VICTORIA"

troll voluntary emigrationt to this country.

alton of the bounty land bill.
\ great number of amendments were
offered and pending. Adjourned.
HoUsE.-The House went into COM
mittee of the whole on the French Spoil
alton Bill.
Mr.. Bayley made a speech in favor OF
the bill. The subject had often been
before Congress, and had always been
reported upon favorably. He was anx-
ious that the same definite action should
be taken OF the subject. He thought
five millions would satisfy all claims
coming within the provisions of the bill.
