lue to gold itself. In the hands OF the people.
The circulating medium Of the country is in
creased by this amount of money. The coun-
try 10, practically speaking. just 90 much richer
than usual, and the people have just SO much
more money in their possession with which 70
cancel their obligations. In consequence OF
this increased ability to ray. the levy of taxes
will be less burdensome than at any othss
time.
1t will be interesting to our readers to notice
the following statements of the amounts which
il is estimated will be required of the inhsbi.
tants Of the different sections and States The
estimates were made by Senator Simmons, on
the supposition that his substitute for the Tag
bill would be adopted, and are consequently
too large. as, il will be remembered. the bill
Z calculated to raise but about $ll0,0OO,O0O,
whereas his substitute was intended TO yield
about $l55, 100000 The Senator estimates
that in the States of New York. Massachusetts,
Rhode Island and Connecticut the population
each individual would be required to pay would
be s. per annum; in Pennsylvania and New
Jersey that tho population is 3,57S,OO0.
and the average tax 81 rs per annum; in
Maine, New Hampshire and Vermont, the popu-
lation 1859. 900. and the tax ST.; in Ohio.
Michigan, Indiana, Illinois, Wisconsin. Iowa
Minnesota, Kansas. California, Oregon and the
Territories, the population 9,535,00O. the tar
in Ohio 81 and IN the other States and Terri.
tories named 81 per annum; Maryland and
the District Of Columbia the tax So; in Della
ware, Kentucky, Tennessee and Missouri, the
population $500, 900 (of $4,000 Of whom no
tax could be collected), and the tax 81 per
annum.
1t will be seen, therefore, that we Of New
York, and our neighbors OF Massachusetts,
Rhode Island and Connecticut, will be re-
quired to pay larger sum per capita than the
Inhabitants Of any other States and that this
sum is not So. 1t is we'll that the taxes are 50
arranged; for these States are the richest and
most able to pay.
The consumer OF manufactured articles,
whether they be Of cotton, iron wool or other
material, will be required to pay for the
article CONSUMED price larger by three per
cent than before the Tax bill went into opera
ton. This tax and that on incomes from all
sources, are the the principal ones levied.
A dress Of cotton material which heretofore
cost S. will cost only fifteen cents more when
taxes are laid, which addition is 20 small as to
DO almost imperceptible. So with other arst'
cles in common use. Thus the three dollars 70
be paid is made up Of little driblets, 80 that
when the year il ended the consumer knows
not when or how he has paid It. The whole
$11O, 1000, 900 will have been raised. however.

waged and its victories won.

material which feeds the fame; but it Is q sig-
niilcant fact that the Southern papers-whlch
have made the largest boast they could Of the
wholesale destruction of the cotton crop-havs
not been able. when they come TO figures, to
make the number OF bales destroyed up to this
time more than 100000. And as the entire
crop numbers four millions of bales, this is but

insolent England, has not true friend among
the nations Of the earth.
But would not the colonies Of England still
sustain her, though the heart Of the empire was
smitten? Not II the control Of the sea belonged
TO the conqueror, az 1t assuredly would. On the
contrary, the colonies, which England even now
holds by very feeble ties, would then be rent
establish their independence or be annexed to
kindred and neighboring nations; for instance,
Canada and the West Indies to the United
States. Nor il this the only benefit that would
accrue to the American people. The capital
lists and great manufacturers Of England would
desert her shores, and repair to the New World,
70 make investments by which they would &C
cumulate rapid fortunes, and be free from the
shock Of revolution, which il chronic in Europe,
but in America Is the exception to the rule.
In Europe the causes continually exist, and ii
requires every exertion Of the wisest statesmen
TO stave of revolution. Here there 10 not only
no cause for II, but every cause against IL; and
when the present causeless rebellion is sup
pressed, as IL soon will be, there will be no
danger Of insurrection or revolution for
another century.
We are thus on the eve Of vast changes in
Europe, produced by the American war; for
the French Mexican campaign is the offspring
Of our civil war, and will beget a war with
England, whose results will be of the most
tremendous character. Az the first American
war-the war Of the Revolution--led to the
French Revolution, war with England and the
convulsion Of all Europe, SO will this last war
be the cause Of war and revolution all over
Europe, beginning with England, which has
done so much to kindle the flames Of national
discord In America, aud will now, by right

The most casual observation Will satisfy any
one that stricter discipline and more rigid
enforcement of the laws, as far as the boys and
youths of this town. are concerned, has become
absolutely necessary; and am sure that every
good citizen would wiliingly acquiesce III any
proper measures that might be adopted, to
check the growing Irregularities, to call them

are now roaming about the streets, going TO no

not imagino-cortainly nothing less, than mis-
crv and ruin Let it be remembered that re-
ference is here made to the open and shameless
gambling with cards carried on all around the
suburbs of the town-the petty thieving and
differing of the bands Of young forty thieves
the cursing, swearing and drinking CT mere
boys-and the absolute ragdb0ndage Of num-
bers All these come under the notice Of the
laws, and have punt h1nents and remedies an
nexed to them, which it would be we'll for the
civil officers and magistrates to enforce all this
time with energy and determination. A few
examples would be Of great service--lor the
looscuess Of restraint, which has prevailed Tor
years past in greater or less degree, IS more
perceptible now than ever, and more produc-
tive of evil consequences. PRESENTER.

WAsHNGTGN, April 15.-The steamer
Yankee, Capt. Eastman, arrived at the
Navy Yard to-day, having left York river
at o'clock yesterday morning. The YAM
kee went about eight miles up the York
river on Sunday night, and anchored of
Gloucester Point, where the steamers Pc
nobscot, Marble Heart and Wachusett were
already lying.
Rebel batteries at the point, which are
said to be very extensive, are mounting
mostly I00-pound riied cannon.
They tried the range of their guns on
the steamers yesterday afternoon, the shot
falling very little short of one.
The vessels then dropped down the river,
and about three miles below the point dis
covered q party of rebels building a battery
on the North bank, on whom the Yankee
opened fire at distance of three-fOnrths of
a usile. The rebels seemed 10th to abandon
their works, and although the shells of the
Yankee fell in their midst they did not
leave the vicinity, but took refuge in the
woods, and behind some neighboring log
houses.
The Yankee, after firing some GO or 20
shot and shells in an hour and half, left
As the Yankee WAS leaving the boats of the
Marble Heart were on the way to the shore
to burn the houses behind which the rebels
had taken refuge.
