BRITISH OPINIONS OF AMERICANS.

The last number Of BkackToOfs Mdgd=ine,
in an article upon the deienses Of Canada, after
expressing the opinion that war between Great
Britain and the United States will occur by 1868,
says:
"Our British North American colonies stand
face to face with power which, In the appliance
Of modern science, and in the courage and endnr'
ance of its people, is a match for the most mill
tary Of European nations. An American army,
when it takes the field, may be little better than
a rabble, but give it the experience Of year or
| two, and il becomes able to hold its own against
the best troops in the " orld. So our own people
found half a century ago; and so, II the storm
does not burst until 1868, our people may find
again"
In like manner, Earl Russell, In his speech
on the blockade. in Parliament, made this frank
though tardy acknowledgment;
"No one will say that there are no judges in
America quite competent to decide questions Of
international law-jjudgcs who have inherited
the precepts and doctrines Of such inch as Chan
celor Kent and Judge StOry-quite competent
to pronounce Judgment according to law, and
who, believe would not have departed from
the law IN their decisions in such cases"
TAXATION IN FRANCE.-The ingenuity Of
France in finding sub jects for taxation, is recon-
mended to US for imitation. It is proposed to
levy in Paris an annual tax upon carriages Of
four wheels, Of fifty francss upon those Of two
wheels, thirty francs; and twenty-five francs upon
each saddle Ghd carriage horse, and in the cOun-
try this tax is to be reduced to forty, twenty.
five and twenty. II is said there are 10000 car.
riases in Paris, and that through the country
the estimate which N. FOuld makes Of the re-.
suit Of this impost OF $500 900 francs would be
surpassed. Dogs are taxed now at the rate Of
ten francs per Annum, and il is said also to be
the intention Of the Government to levy 4 tax
upon cats Among other projects Of increasing
the revenue is also said to be one bF tax Of a
centime hundred on matches, which 1t is esti-
mated will yield half million Of dollars A.year.

the famed Pea Ridge (Arkansas) battle, not yet
recorded in history, which vindicates thoroughly
the opinion that % sigel Is the country indebted
IOr The splendid victory won upon that Geld. It
appears that prior TO the battle, Gen. Curtis de-
clarsd their case hopeless. and that the Federal
army under him must surrender. Gen. Sigsl
replied that bis boys would never surrender,
but would cut their way out Il abandoned BY
al their comrades As to the enemy being in
vincible, II the General commanding would give
him (sigel) the opportunity, be would soon tell
him . different story from that Of surrender.
Curtis then offered him the command for the oc-
easlon. sigsl insisted on having the authority
10 writing. and, having obtained Il and slowed Il
awuy slisly in bis pocket, proceeded to fght the
battle which defeated and nearly destroyed The
army Of Van Dorm. Mccullough, and Price. =
