The APRIL REBELLION IN BALTIMoRE-Cosr
OF WEEK or TERRoR.--In April last, when
Baltimore wss under the reign Of the rebel
terrorists, the sum of s5OO,0OO was appropriated
by the Common Council for the defence of the
city," The rebels had only time to expend
$74,519 Of this amount. Amongst the iterns
of outlay we find disbursements for Halls
patent rifles, miskets revolvers, pixies, powder,
percussion caps, cartridges, drums, shet, repairs
of steam gun, balls for ditto, repairs of gun
carriages, surgical instruments, rations for
volunteers, refreshments for bridgebprners, &c.
Mayor Chapman, in transmitting to the City
Council detailed account of the items de-
frsyed out Of the appropriation, states that .
number Of other claims still remain unpaid.
He adds" II has been said by some that this
large amount Of money was appropriated and
spent for the defence of the city Of Baltimore;
but in my opinion the main object waAthe cap
turs and destruction Of the Capitol st Washing
ton." But little doubt, We should think, exists
upon that point,

Our CAPACITY FOR TAxArIoN.-K the real and
personal estate Of all the loyal States were
taxed in the same ratio as this city, it would
produce over 500, ,OOO, 600 sufficient to pay
the interest on the loans contracted and to be
contracted for the war. Such is the amount
that might be derived from the taxation of real
and p6fsonsl estate alone, Independently of
revenues from imports and excisable articles
produced in the country. Men Of wealth here
live in the most extravagant style, many of
them in houses worth 100000. Will they not
make small sacrifice for the Union which has
given them their wealth, and which, If destroyed,
will impair that wealth and reduce them from
merchant princes to comparative poverty. If
England incurred debt Of eSO0 0,OO0, ,000-.four
thousand million dollars-to maintain its power,
surely the preservation Of the Union is worth at
least q quarter of that amount, which is the
estimated cost of the war. For such purpose
q thousand millions is mere bagatelle, and
ought not to weigh more than the dust in the
balance against the vast permanent interests,
glory and power involved in the struggle.
The New York herald., 1862-01-20

TAX on NEwsPAPERs.-We approve of Mr..
Colfax's proposition to tax newspapers. There
is no reason why that species of property should
not be taxed. Three millions of dollars could
easily be raised from it. But it would be
grand mistake to compel the proprietors Of
newspapers to send their journals exclusively
by mail. They would overload the mails most
inconveniently interfering not only with the
rapid delivery Of newspapers, but also the cor
respondence Of the country. The effect would
be to diminish the circulation Of the press to
very great extent, and thus reduce the proposed
revenue from that source. The present
method of sending newspapers by the expresses.
which convey, probably, nine-tenths of the
whole circulation ought not to be interfered
with. There is no necessity for it. The proper
mode of levyng fax on newspapers is by a
stamp on each copy which would give the pro-
prietor the right to send it free by mail or ex-
press at his own option. This simple method
would save the Post ONCE vast amount Of
trouble and expense, and would bring in cer-
tain, reliable revenue. The tax might be from
one-quarter to ons-half cent. The stamp sys.

WASHINGTON, Sept Is.
An officer slightly wounded in the
fight yesterday, who arrived here last
night, reports that the eight took place
three or four miles west Of MiddletOwn,
at the foot of the first mountain going
west.
Their army was strongly posted, but
our men, with the most determined cour.
age, drove them up the mountain through
. strip of woods, corn fields, and open
ground. The rebels made frequent stands
behind walls and fences, but were driven
thence to the top Of the mountain, and
over into the valley, when, it being night,
our troops were called from farther pur-
suit Not one of our men faltered.
Two Colonels were among the rebels
killed, found on the field this morning.
The battle was fought principally with
infantry, on our part, it being impracti.
cable to bring artillery into full play.
Gibbons, however, with much toll,
succeeded in getting battery upon the
mountain to the right of the infantry,
aud did execution.
