The Tax Bill.

The Congress Of the Confederate States has
passed an Act for levying a direct tax for the
support of the Government. 1t is too lengthy
for US to give this week, but may do so in
our c 1t levies a tax Of 80 cents upon
each humid, ed dollars in value of the follow
ing property Real estate OF all kinds, slaves.
merchandise. bank stock, railroad and other
corporation stocks, money at interest, or in
vested by individuals in the purchase Of bills.
notes CT other securities for money, Except
the bonds of the Confederate States) cash
on hand or on deposit, cattle horses, mules.
gold watches, gold and silver plate, pianos.
and pleasure carriages. Those owning less
than $500 worth of property are exempt from
taxation under this act.
This is ne time to discuss the merit of this
Act. II is the best that could be done, prob
ably, under the circumstances 1t is better
for property-holders to give a part of what
they have to the support Of their own, than
for Lincoln to take all, for the support Of his
government. The POOR cannot be oppressed
by it, for they are exempt. The tax falls on
those who are best able to bear il, and who
have every thing to lose, should the govern
ment lack the means to conduct the war to q
successful termination.

State Legislature.

y p1s -O6ASe1AN>
We give below a list of the bills that hare
passed the two Houses. Other proceedings
are not of sufficient interest to note. We
regret very much to see the spirit Of strife,
jealousy and contention manifested by the
members. 1t is very unfortunate, il not a
criminal wrong, at such a juncture Of affairs
as the present. 1t is no time for elimination
and wrangling. Harmony and concession
a full award of high patriotic motives should
mark the course of one differing with an
other. The promotion of the public good,
should reign over every other consideration.
But nothing we can say will arrest the evil
we therefore spare our words, and turn the
evil doors over to their masters-the People.
An act has passed both Houses suspending
that part of the ordinance of the Convention
which disbanded the surplus volunteers on
the 10th instant, which might not be accept
ed by President Davis, and the continuance
of the Adjutant General, Quartermaster and
Commissary departments till otherwise or
dered by the Legislature.
Also, an act empowering the Board of
Claims to take evidence.
A resolution concerning the raising and
rendering of troops from North Carolina to
President Davis, the election of officers to
the same to be in accor dance with the laws
of the Confederate States, has passed the
Senate.
A resolution to raise a Committee to report
suitable resolutions in reference to the late
Col G. f. Fisher, and also to report upon the
exdediency of erecting a monument to his
: memory, passed both Houses. Also a SINH
lar resolution concerning the late Gov. Ellis.
A bill appropriating 5000, 900 for compile
has passed both Houses.
A bill to repeal the Stay Law has passed
, the House. Some substitute will probably
be adopted.
f Nothing else has been done, we believe,
E except the introduction of innumerable bills
| on every subject imaginable, wrangling over
the stay law, and about abolishing the State
( Convention. This latter proposition passed
its second reading in the House by a vote Of
Z SO to %. A proposition to submit a like
! question to the people about abolishing the
: Legislature, was voted down by a large ma
jority. What a selfish creature man is. We
e presume there has been as much dissatisfac-
4 ton expressed by the people as to the action
of the Legislature, as there has been towards
: the Convention. Let the people have {
chance to veto both, if either, and give both
sides a fair shake.

Another State.

IN Act has passed the Confederate Con-
gress for the admission of Missouri into the
Southern Confederacy. Gov. jackson, the
regular constituted Executive head of Mis-
souri,, acting in the name and by the author
ity of the people thereof, issued a proclaima-
ton a short time since in which, after repre-
senting the insults and wrongs to which she
had been subjected by the Washington Des-
potism, he declared the State FREE, sovER-
EIGS and INDEPENDENT. Application was
then made to the Confederate Congress for
her admission into the Confederacy, and
hence the action in that body to which We
have referred.
The battle of the 10th, near Springfield,
has shattered the Federal power which had
obtained considerable foothold in that noble
State under the auspices of Toryism, which
IN st Louis and certain other localities was
IN active and jealous cooperation with Lin
colnism. The splendid triumph of the South
ern arms in that sanguinary battle will be
followed up by rapid and efficient movement
upon st. Louis, which will be wrested from
the hands of the enemy and restored to its
lawful rulers. The feeble Fremont win be
driven from his stronghold and add another
to the catalogue of routed Yankee Gener-
ais.
Missouri is particularly fortunate in hay
ing at such a crisis men like McCulloch
Price, Thompson and Hardee to lead be
armies. Either of them is vastly superio
in military accomplishments and persona
intrepidity to the very best leader on tn
Yankee side. All of them are thorough
trained soldiers, and admirably qualified TO
the service to which they have devoted then
selves. Acting in concert they will swee
everything before them and drive out tn
vandals.
The accession of so gallant a State as Mis-
souri, to the Confederacy will exercise a lare
influence upon its fortunes. 1t will wide
the avenues of progress and prosperity.
will immensely augment the resources of tt
young Republic.

PosITIoN OF ENGLAND.-Much speculation
assume towards the Government of the Con-
federate States. Two or three recently de-
veloped circumstances incline to the opinion
that she will attempt to get Southern Cot
ton and yet maintain a strict neutrality be-
tween the north and south. They propose
to get cotton through Mexico and thus avoid
interfering with the yankee blockade, and by
this means be enabled TO maintain the neu-
trality the Queen said in her recent speech
she intended to occupy. But the Southern
Congress will doubtless blockade" this nice
little scheme, by interdicting the shipment of
Cotton thro' Mexican as we'll as other foI eign
ports, and then we shall see where England's
cotton is to be procured. Englandand France
are obliged to have our cotton, or else have
starvation and perhaps war among her work
ing millions. If they are permitted to es-
tablish a route for cotton through Mexico,
they will never break the blockade. But
OF course this VIII not be permitted ana hence
we shall soon see if England will persist in
her policy of neutrality which must of ne
cessity, create a revolution in Great Britain
which may cost the family Of Guelph their
throne ; which must produce a financial cri
sis that will shake the Eastern Continent
from London to Pekin like an earthquake
We care not what course the Queen of Great
Britain may see fit to pursue. If she car

News FROM EURoPE.-The steamer Bohe-
the 7th. The news of the Manassas battle
had been received in London before she sail
ed, and the papers she brings contains re-
marks upon the same. The London Times
aAua-A that the Sailtnerners oh
tanned a complete victory over the Union lin
coln) army at the battle of Manassas Plains.
The Federals have lost all their former mill
tary honor. All prominent and experienced
Generals express the opinion that the battle
of Manassas has closed the door to all com
promises.
The Queen of England said in her speech
before Parliament, that all her foreign rela-
tons are friendly, and she trusts that there
is no danger to be apprehended for the gem
eral peace in Europe. She has determined
in connection with other Powers, on observ-
ing a strict neutrality in the war waging be-
tween the Northern and Southern States.
Lord Palmerston says that the entrance
into any one of the blockaded ports of a duty
paying vessel, wipes away the blockade. The
blockading power may shut up all the ports,
but when 1T lets a single vessel go in, the
right is gone.
A Paris letter states that the victory of
the Southerners at Manassas has operated
powerfully in France in favor of the Seces-
~sionists.
The London Herald says that on the re-
ceipt of the news of the battle of Manassas.
Louis Napoleon determined to recognize the
Southern Confederacy.
BY the next arrival, which is expected
daily, we shall have more extended and au-
thentic accounts of the results produced in
Europe by the great Southern victory.
Sales of cotton for the week previous to
the 7th amounted to Go, 600 bales at an adj
vance of I'd. Orleans fair 81 ditto middling

barely maintained.
New YORK, July 30.-The steamship Can.
ada has arrived at Halifax, with Liverpool
dates to Saturday, Aug. 10th, being two days
later than those by the Bohe mian.
The sales of cotton at LIVERPOOL on Satur-
day were s, 5000 bales, with a quiet but firm
market.
The political news from Europe is not of
general interest.
Russel's letter to the London Times. about
the battle of Bull Run, on the 2Ist of july.
says that 1.-THE Federal repulse was decided.
The repulse mightn not have had any very Sc
riou effect, bat for the disgracefnl conduct
of the troops. The retreat ended in a cow
afdly rout-a miserable, causeless panic
Such scandalous conduct on the part OF SOL
diers considered impossible. I have never
seen the like even amongst camp followers.
The North must put her best men in battle.
or she will irrevocably fall before the energy
and superior fighting power of her antag-
onist.n
The London Times says that only a victo-
ry which will wipe out all the disasters at
Masassas can save Lincoln, from ultimate
: impeachment for having begun the war.
Che London Globe and the Shipping Ga
zette attack the details of the Blockade.
The Post says that if England drifts into
the American quarrel, the fault will be with
Lincoln who has attempted a BLOCKADE which
he cannot render complete.
