INCREASED TASArIoS.-The expenses

INCREASED TAIArroS-The expenses Of
the war must, of course, increase the rate of
taxation throughout the country. The city OF
New York, it appears, Will be called upon 10
pay very large increase. The Herald" re-
fcrriag to this fact, remarks:
1--WE have now taxes on most Of the necessa-
rss OF life--,ea, sugar, and other commodities
together with the income tas, the most OBJ
noxious of all But in addition to these, there
are State and city tases arising out Of tho var
which must be paid. The State has h, appropFl.
n,ed three millions Of dollars. The city has
appropriated million, and now calls for loan
Of half million more to support the families
of the volunteers. The interest on these loens.
with other expenses yetto be incurred VIII
make the whole debt about two millions o!
dvllars This will Of course increase the CITY

is worst of all, from the destruction OF business

which has been eried BY the government upon
salaries which exceed in amount the sum Of

income is above eight hundred dollars the
whole amount is taxed, as is the case in Eng

Koys they Return our Eiudness.

The readers Of the Enquirer" know that We
have not dssn,c,i it either manly or right to
stimulate or direct the aninaFsities OF our peo-
plo against the csatives aud the wounded who
hare fallen into our hands. Among the Indians,
indeed. it was the part OF the sQuaws and the
chi!oran aud the men who staid in the wig
wan, to torment the captives whom the braves
brought home from the war.pe!h. But il is not
so with the chivalrous people Of the South; and
none have feeling, moro humane towards our
prisoners than the heroes who captured them,
and none arc more pleased than they tc sec
their wounds dressed and theii wants supplied.
The Southern peop.o arc terrible to their foes
out 10 the eap,i7es and the helpless they are
sunee, as the truly brave always are.
Thus disposed and thus acting we cannot
read without intense indignation, the following
which wo take from the New York Herald :"
the PIRATES OF TEE PETREL.
PHILADELPHIA, Aug. 9. lS6l.-The crew and
officers of the pr;vateer Petrel, recently blown
to pieces of Charesl on by the irgate St Law
renee, had preliminary hearing before United
States Commissioner Hazlett to-day. They
were escorted from prison in two omnibuses,
hsndculed. The court room was crowded, and
United States Attorney Coffee stated that he
would delay the case until the prisoners were
provided with counsel. Tbe rootr was filled
wi.h attorneys, not one Of whom volunteered
to defend the pirates, though all were solicited.
The hesring was postponed until Wednesday.
On the way out to the coaches dense mob hoot.
cd the prisoners and threatened 10 bring them
out and hang them. They finally got of IN
safety.
That IS the way Southerc prisoners c! war
are treated in tie North: The distinction be-.
tween privateer prisoners and others, IS absurd
and untenable. Besides, the North denounce
US all a. traitors and rebels. II they spare
sny from the hsndcuffS, it is 10. because any
principle which they recognise rxcmpts them,
bu. because it suits their Convenience ana
their cxscacies TO draw difference.
1t only remains cor our government 10 re-
spon6 10 the terrible necessity OF retaliation
which the Nor.n thus imposes upon US, and
to the ezten: ;,ecossary - secure its object !;
retaliation for tho single purpose OF protecting
our own outraged people who fall into their
hands and because we have no other means Of
dong So Ii oar un(or,unstcs are made to run
the gauntlet OF Philadelphia saTages; if they are
handcuffsd by OH .ers, and hustled BY mobS
il Courts Of Justice; if in . room full Of
lawyers DOT oae had the decency TO see that
even the forms Of their oTu pretended law
! verc complied with ia behalf Of captive
strangers; ii they are coniined in dungeons
and threatened with the halter; then such
savsy" deeds and such savage principles must
be rc5oFcd and punished in the only mode
which can reac:, government: SO degraded
The condemnation wh;ch they risi. on our cap.
tive citizens, must fall on theirs
