THE AID vALoREM HUMBUG.

Every $4,000 paid into the State Treasury be-
ing entitled to a Senator, it is exceedingly easy to
show, that under system of taxation which would
draw the State revenue from real and personal
| estate only, including slaves, and abolish specific
taxation altogether the West would he reduced in
the Senate to Ii or Is mcmbers, aud our State
would exhibit the extraordinary spectacle of an in
teligent people transferring their government from
the aority to privileged class of wealthy slave
owners; and this is what the Opposition propose
| to do by this ad vaorem conspiracy and humbug.
According to the comptroers report, the thir-
ty-seven eastern counties We have named, contain
923lS slaves, between the ages of II and 90
We take it their average value cannot be less than
81 900 each. According to the census of 1850
the counties then contained some 50, 900
slaves under II years of age, anG so 900 over the
age OF 90; at the usual of their increase there
are now $4,000 slaves of this class, in this part
of the State. whose average value is $500. The
value of the town and country land, and farming
utensils in the section is S27.769 Ill.
We possess no means of estimating the value
OF Eastern property in horses, cattle, Ships stea-
nlers, other vessels machinery books, plate pianos
carriages, etc. This can hardly be less than ff-
teen twenty millions more, and taking all to-
gether, we estimate the property of the East SUBJ
Ject to ad valorem taxation, at three hundred and
fifty millions of dollars which, at the rates of taxa
ZION proposed py the az VaioremteS, would yield
an annual revenue of $3.50, 200, and at the ratio
o. the present basis of representation entitle that
section Of the State to thirty-two senators.
The injustice of this to the West as we'll as to
the East, is apparent 1t would increase the taxes
of the latter upwards of 500 Coo without betowing
any greater political privileges upon or on the
Legislature, and it would degrade the free white
men of the State. majority of whom in the
west, by creating in our midst the most odious of
all oliearchies-an aristocracy of weah,-and
seriously endanger the institution Of slavery, and
drive the of slaves to seek more profitable
field for their labor in other States-RdL Press,

CHASE OF SLAvER-Tsrrible Rrsah-An
on the l4th Of February, off the coast Of Africa,
by British vessel and Portuguese steamer. The
master of the SLAYER, seeing chance for escape,
headed her for the rocks. A letter says:
Just before shutdown, the Portuguese gave him
the contents Of several thirty-two Founders, which
brought his foretopmast down and, it was blowing
almost gale of wind his jibboom followed directly
after. However, the fellow stopped for nothing,
and, just as night set in, drove her high on the
rocks off Cape Lopez the Portuguese steamer by
that time being in close range but the Gloucester
was far behind Those on board the other steamer,
however, describe the scene truly heart rcndiug
AS the brig struck, and was overwhelmed by the
breakers, the poor miserable creatures on board
probably to the number of FIVE hundred, set up
howl Of despair that could be heard even above
the roaring of the hungry sea. But it was too
dark, by that time, to much, and beyond
human skill or power to aid the drowning wretches
so that they soon must have met their DOOM; for
the next morning the beach inside of the rocks
strewn with corpses and the fragments of the
wreck. Nothing was found, however, to reveal
the name of the shaver, any other information
concerning him, save that to the practised seaman
she proved of Baltimore build. The monsters
who manned the vessel are supposed to have escaped
in their boats before she struck, and must have
gained the shore, as a boat, somewhat stove, was
discovered on the beach, with the oars near by.
good prize thus LOST, and, what is worse,
probably five hundred human beings were launched
into eternity

FALSE CHARGES REFUrED-

The Raleigh Register, upon the authority of
the report in the Murtrcsboro' Southron, of the
discussion at Gainesville, charges Gov Ellis with
having voted against the bill to establish the Lu-
matte or Insane Asylum This charge is very far
from being true. The fact is Gov. Ellis introduce
ed the memorial of Miss Dix for the establishment
Of the Insane Asylum moved that it be sent to
the Senate, and twelve copies be printed for each
member, and that it be referred to Joint select
committee Of seven from each House. TSee House
Journal 1889, page 1921 This proposition
was coneurred in by the Senate, and Messrs Ellis,
Stanly, Dobbin, Biggs, Wadsworth, johnson, and
j. }. Williams were appointed the House branch
of the committee See same Journal, page 4Ol. I
Gov Ellis being chairman of the committee report
ed to the House the bill for the establishment of
the present Asylum for the Insane, and recon-
meEded its passage. He also moved that it be
made the special order at early day. This was
the sth of December, 1913. On the 18th of
the same month Gov Ellis was elected Judge, and
soon after resigned his seat. The bill was after
wards passed into law, and under it the noble
structure on Dix Hill was erected.
Now these facts are all familiar to u.s. and we
have occasion to refer to the Journal to refresh
our memory. We have done so, however, for the
benefit of our neighbor of the Register, who has
been led into this error from want of knowledge
Of the facts. 1t should teach him in future not to
place implicit reliance in reports from N. papers.
We are sorry to mar the jubatons of the Regis
ter over this charge, but the truth must appear,
though it should spoil his rejoicing.
In the same issue Of the Register may be found
much twaddle about Gov. Ellis having charged the
West with rapacity, &C. All this will avail moth
ing. The West knows John W. Ellis. aud she
knows too that she never had son mnre devoted
to her interest than he is The idea of John Poo,
who never voted for County even in the
West, much less appropriations to build her Rail-
roads-the idea of has rising up at this late day
and attempting to supplant John W. Ellis in the
affections of the people of the West, is simply
ridiculous. Mr.. Pool starts too late in his zeal for
Western interests. 1t would have looked better
for him to have done something for Western inter-
ests before he became candidate seeking Yves
tern votes-.Snndum.

MIRACULOUS EscAPE.-On Tuesday last, Ex-
Gov. McMulen, Of Washington county, Va. came
being killed in consequence of the mail train
on the Va. and Tennessee Railroad coming in col
lision with horse whc!, h. Was riding, and which
was killed instantly. The Lynchburg Republican
says:
1t seems that near Marion, in Smythe county,
Gov. McMulen had crossed the railroad track on
horseback, about 100 yards above the train, which
was running at the rate of twenty miles an hour,
but the horse becoming frightened, was ungovern-
able, and managed to get On the track just as the
train came up. The consequence was that the
cowcacher struck the horse, Instantly killing him,
but with great presence of mind Gov McMullen,
at the time Of the accident, jumped from the
horses back on to the cow-catcher, where securing
a hold, he maintained position until the train
stopped and be rescued from his perilous
position. The escape of the Governor from in
slant death is certainly most remarkable, and is
attributed solely to his great camness in the mo-
ment of danger; all mo witnessed the accident
testified that he was as composed and unmoyed as
it an actor in some trivial occurrence
