BY the arrival of the steamer Eastern

cial intelligence Of the Burnside expedition.
The Eastern State left Hstterss Inlet last
night. and arrived here this morning.
The recent storms were unusually Sc

and crippled the expedition; but when tho
Eastern State left everything looked favora-
bic.
The Burnside expedition sailed from
Hampton Roads on the 18th and 18th Of
January. and consisted of over l25 vessels
Of all classes. They arrived at Hatteras
between the l2th and 18th inst. having
been greatly retarded by severe storms and
adverse winds which prevailed during that
time.
After their arrival at Hatteras they ex-
perenccd a series of unparalleled storms,
so that at tim es it was impossible TO hold
communication between any two vessels

After the storm, it was discovered that

TAXATION.
the niger

Congress is busy doing nothing for the
good OF the country. About the only sub
jects talked of are the niger aud taxation.
The latter subject will speedily be brought
home to the pockets Of the people. Direct
taxation, of the most ouerous kind. is con-
sidered the surest method, and in fact the
only one, by which the necessary means
can be raised to carry on the war and
support the government. The amount
thus to be raised. even for present needs.
is put at not less than two hundred mil
lions, and By those well posted on the SUBJ
iect, at from four to five hundred millions
of dollars. Oar annual expenses, at the
rate which the government is expanding
money, will amount TO seven hundred and
twenty millions, which must be raised now
or at some future time. with interest. AT
ter war is over il will be about all the peo-
pie can do to support the government,
which will cost annually about two hun
dred millions. and may be three hundred.
The duties on imports. which have here
tolore been sufficient to supply all the de-
mands Of the government. will not more
than pay the interest on the public debt. if
they do so much as that. The war tax of
twenty millions, which was levied at the
extra session of Congress, requires nearly
one million dollars from Indiana; TO raise
two hundred millions would require ten
millions from Indiana, aad to raise four
hundred millions, which is probably near
er the correct amount, will require twenty
millions from indiana
And this all comes of putting Repub-
licans in power. No compromise was
their cry; and the people are beginning to
see the fruits of no compromise in the loss
of blood and treasure, such as our coun-
try never witnessed before. Are the peo-
pie not satisfied with Republican rule?
