rrt States and Trrritori,.

The sums assessed upon the Southern
States will, Of course, not be forthcom'
ing. and the amount to be raised At tho
North is about & Il, 900, 900. This must
come mainly out Of real estate The in.
come tax il little more Than blind tor
the farmers, for il is well known that n-
comes admit Of easy concealment, while
real estate is tangible and fixed. II is
not likely, therefore, that any considerA-
bic amoun, will be derived from this
source, for especially since the hard
times commenced, incomes have OWN
died down one.half The principal feve'
nuo of the government, then, must come
from the real estate tax, and the tax up
on tea, coffee, and sugar This will fall
with its main weight upon the agricnl-
,ural and lahor.ng classes,
But as If conscious Of tho utter i'm.
bility Of the government 20 raise the
proposed loan, Congress has authorized
the emission Of paper money We thu.

limited amount Of rag currency can now

back Of it, no provision made for its re-
dcmption beyond the limited amount Of
specie the government may noe have on
band With this currency it il proposed
to pay Off our soldiers, and with such
deprecated notes the government can
well afford to pay the soldiers the miser.
at c pitiance of 81 additional per month.
For some time past the government EN-
ployecs have not received their pay.
Now, however, when Mr.. Chase can

STATE ELECTION The returns Of the State
election are so mcagre that il is impossible to
form an opinion as to the result for Governor.
We have q strange vet Of officers in Texas.
The great majority u them, instead Of sending
an official vote Of their respective counties to
some newspaper for publication, usually seal
them up and mail them to Austin. where they
are not opened until the expiration Of sixty dnys.
In other words, it will he probably the middle

Billy Wilson,s 1ouayes.

The regiment of roughs raised by Billy
Wilson, in New York, is composed of the
hardest of New York humanity. A letter
from New Yorker contains the following
incident, which is sufficiently illustrative of
Of their status:
Yesterday Methodist Clergyman went
down to Staten Island to oxhort them
Billy Wilson drew his men up and called
attention. The parson then gave them
a very edifying and appropriate discourse,
to which, in obedience to the Colonel's COM
mand, they listened attentively. When the
parson had finished, Billy gave his boys
short talk, somewhat in this wise Boys,
| want you to remember what the minister
has told you. 1t is all for your good take
his advice, and followit; for there Is noknow-
ing but what in loss than six months every
d. d of you:will be in HILL" Here a
voice from the ranks called out, "Three
cheers for h--ll !" The parson, astonished
and angry, asked what Il meant, "Oh, {"
says Billy, ''rhe boys don't know much
about Scripture. They think h--.ll is some
where between Montgomery and New
Orleans, and they are id anxious to get
down in that neighborhoodl"
