ES~Thenumber ofGcenses granted in this
county is a subiectfor the consideration of its
citizens, aside from the moral influences of
the measure All OF the license taxes 60 into
the common School Fund of the State, IN
which all the counties share according to
their population. Many Of the counties
have refused to grant any license, and Will,
consequently, contribute nothing to the
common School Fund from this source OF
revenue. Others have but two or three al
plications, and most of them have restricted
the number to eight or ten. IL is estimated
that the average number, for each county,
will be less than eight--or 800 in the entire
State This number, at 500 per license, viii
give a revenue TO the School Fund of about
$40 900 per annum.
In the small county of Marlborough, the
Commissioners have already granted ninety
two licenses, and the number will probably
be increased to one hundred, on which there
will be paid into the State Treasury for the
use Of the State School Fund the sum OF
$1,000. This sum is equal to one-eighh OF
the estimated revenue from licenses in the
whole State. The licenses for Nanderburgh
county are, with FIVE or six exceptions, to
citizens of Evansville. Almost the entire
sum of $4,000 contributed to the State
School Fund is to be paid, therefore, by the
citizens of this city. IL the general distri-
bution of the State Fund, it is estimated
that about $500 of il will come back 10
this city and county.
Vanderburgh will have paid into the State
Treasury on licenses $4,000, and she will
receive back as her share $500, leaving q
balance OF "a, 500, which will be drawn
principally from Evansville, by the action
of the Board of Commissioners, for the sup
port of the schools in other counties Of the
State. This sum is equal to half the cost o
supporting the admirable school system o
the city. These license houses are support
ed, in great measure, by the laboring mer
OF the city, and their industry is 10 be taxeC
fJr the schooling of children in other coun
ties, to an amount equal to that levied 10y
the city for the support of our schools.
Under former laws, this county pays into
the State School Fund about S3,l3l more
than is returned to HEREUNDER the opera
tons OF this license act, this difference be
tween her payments and receipts will b,
increased to $1,000 or 81, 500, or, in othel
words, the county will pay into the Treas
ury $4,000 and get back about $500.
No argument can show so conclusive
ly as a simple statement of facts the unjus
operations Of our laws, and the impolicN
and inequity Of the Constitution, which de
clare5 the School system shall he uniform
throughout the State, regardless of the un
equal contributions and varied wants of tn
different sections. We commend the sub
ject to the serious consideration Of the citi
zens of the county, and especially of tn
the city, from whose labor these taxes M
wruns.

Fillibusterins Upon th. Poor In
dianS.

The passengers by the last overland mail
report that abeut 5000 Texans were en-
camped near Fort Belsnap, for the pnspose
of exterminating the Cnddo Reserve lndiaGs
The Governor of Texas had called on The
United States troops to quell she disturb
ances, and Major Van Doren had arrived in
the vicinity with three companies Of dra-
co)ns. On the way from Fort Wsshita to
Belknap, Van DcGen. encountered large
body of Apache Indians lie killed 40 or so,
and took % prisoners.
From reports sent to us by friends who
have been near the scene Of these operations,
we are led TO believe that this raid upon the
red men was prompted hy motives more sell
fish and dishonorable than those thai have
given rise to the ilibusterng expeditions
against Cuba, Central America or Mexico.
which have been SO violently condemned by
the country.
The object is to get the land fur specnla
ton aud settlement. Ii the stories related
to us of Maj. Van Dorens encounter are
true, the poor ApacheS or Camanches were
the victims of most cruel treachery and
deception on the part of soihe tribe of friend
ly Indians on the borders, who sent mes
seagers that the United States authorities
had appointed Peace Council at a certain
time and place, on which they were invited
to attend. The band encountered by Van
Doren's troops were on their way, with their
wives and children, to fulfil this pretended
appointment when, as they approached the
frontier, they were denounced by those who
had prepared the trap for them, as gang OF
mauraders on an expedition for pillage and
murder, and the troops, without stopping to
enquire what was their object fell NJ on the
defenceless Camanches and slaughtered and
routed them without mercy. Our informa.
ton comes from reliable sources, and if true
it is easy to imagine the effects of srci oc.
currences upon the minds and conduct Of
the Indians, 10 whom the truth will, per-
haPs, never be explained. We wonder
sometime that our whole frontier is not
ravaged by fire and sword.

FROM PKE's PEAK-The Leayenworth

tanning letter front their correspondent at
Denver City, who visited and thoroughly

On the 9th, 30 miles west of Denver, Mr.. G..

four dollars in dust. The party soon struck
bed of sand yielding from FIVE to ten dollars
per pan. On account of the snow and ice
which blockaded the creek the working of
the leads was delayed several days The
news of this discovery caused a general STAN

The Reduction of Mail Routes to
ROCkuOrt.

The editor of the Boonville Democrat
makes the following pertinentremarks upon
the thrsatend reduction Of the mail service
from here TO Rockport:
The simple reason given for this change is
to curtail the. expenses of the Government.
This is, we take it, rather a bad place TO cur
tail and in this curtailment, it is making a
discrimination against this route to which
we do not feel disposed quietly to submit. =
We are pretty well assured that this route
much! more than pays for ITSELF and is, ne
a daily line, other than mere convenience,
an actual necessity "a the business portion
of the communities through which it passer.
Now we would like TO know by what rule
the Postmaster General discriminates be-
tween different paying routes and those
which have become q real necessity 10 the
people, so rs to reduce one route from ad1ily
ID a tri-weeklv, and not eperTy otker route n
lie Union /? The mail between Evansville
aud RoekpOrt is OF as much importance TO
the people along the line rs the mail running
between Washington and New York is to
the people along its line and so long as it
more than pays for itself, the Postmaster
General has no more right 10 reduce this
than he has that one. ID he cartaiIs one
which pays, he should apply the rule to all,
or the one will not, with quiet grace, sue
cumb. We do not feel disposed willingly
to be deprived of our rights, and be made TO
help pay $4,000 every year to keep up an
almost worthless mail line from Louisville
to Cairo, and we think the great mass along
the route feel about as we do on this subject.
And TO think of the paltry sum it is to save
/ the Government 1t is not more than five
or six hundred dollars at best Why, if the
department is as poor as this movement ex-
hibits it to be, let it but intimate it in some
other way, and the people along the liEe
would gladly make up the purse and donate
the amount to it, rather than he deprived OF
their daily mail. .-....

GARiBALDIs MOvEMENTs.-A letter from
Turin OF the Both of May says:
Garibaldi has received reinforcements at
Como The artillery has been organized
and national guard modified Volunteers
are fastening TO increase the militia. The
national movement is spreading and the
town OF Hecco is free. The Austrians, in
considerable numbers, have occupied Rob
bio.
The Msgr de Paris publishes the fol-
Loving on the 18th of May:
"Aiter fierce contest, Garibaldi repulsed
the AuStrians and entered Como, not further
than Is or 20 miles from Milan. This is of
the highest Importance, and Garibaldi's
splendid feat of arms will be the signal for
the rising of the Lombard province.
To comprehend the full value of this news,
il is indispensably requisite to make known
the position taken up by the celebrated hero,
after defeat by the Austrians at Maernata,
and Garibaldi's entrance into Narez; il is
known they withdrew TO Como, and, to
reach this town, Garibaldi had 10 overcome
the enemy as well as natural obstacles on
the road from Britlo To Cheasso. Garibaldi
was obliged TO take most arduous mountain
road. He could neither support himself on
the right or the left; on one side lay The
Swiss territory, whose neutrality he wished
to respect; on the other he was hemmed in
by lakes.
In front Of Charso there is a funnel
shaped tongue of land he was obliged Ia
cross. The level ground is so narrow be-
tween the mountain wall and the Lake oI
Como, that the road becomes n mere path
and at'the end of the pass stood the Aus
triduS, TO blr his further progress Here il
was that they had collected forces to STOP
Garibaldi OF his march, as ut Meamata. The
Chasseurs OF the Alps beat the enemy and
forced the passage, aud very sosn entered
Como and the Austriaps fled before them
At this moment, Garibaldi, master of Como
is in position 10 scour the whole district o.
BOcanza, and march either TO the center o
LombaIdy, or into the Valtellina, and adj
vance on Bergamo aud Breseca, both prov
inces most decided aud patriotic in the Ital
ian cause.
