WHAT TAXATION WILL DO

According to statistical calculations fur.
nishcd by the Boston Chamber IF Com
merce, the aggregate value Of the produc-
tions of the country amounts to the sum
Of two thousand millions Of dollars. Al
the close If the war the inters>t on our
debt may be estimated rs being likely t.
amount to one hundred millions. Then
it may be calculated that another hun lred
millions will be necessary to meet the All
nual expenditures Of the government
Consequently, two hundred millions will
have to be raised by taxation to meet til.
interest Of the debt and for the support OF
Government. This will amount to tel,
per cent on the above aggregate value Of
the national wealth This amount oftaxatio,,
will be derived from labor aud land-the
two elements which are the sources Of all
national wealth, and by which the Chief
weight of taxation will have to he borne
We arrive by the above data at the follow
ing general conclusions First. that the
value of fancy city property in all thu
great cities will be reduced about fifty per
cent, all other property ten or twenty per
cent. Labor will have to pay the tax and
amount equal to ten cents oil the dollar, OF
ten per cent. In the meantime Govern.
meut securities will rise in a few year.

The foregoing brief article from the New
York Herald tells nearly what the ef:c
Of the war will be upon the property and
labor Of the country. The estimate of a
hundred millions Of dollars for interest
and of hundred millions for current cx-
penses Of the Government is low enough,
too low, should the party TOW in power be
left in control Of the Government Two
hundred millions of dollars a year, it will
be seen. is ten per cent Of the whole es,i.
mated wealth OF the United States, SO that
ten years taxes will be equal to the whole
wealth of the country. These are siguif-
cant facts.-DuL"que Herald.

Official Federal reports from Fortress
Monroe and Gen Mcclellan show that the
past week has been decidedly active and
exciting one TO the military in that vicin-
ity. Since the evacuation of Yorktown,
a rapid pursuit of the rebels" has follow
ed and the main body Of McClellau's army
is reported to be- within thirty miles. or
less, Of Richmond. The Confcderates
we're frat ovcrtakcn Mt Williamsburg, anil.
after q stubborn and somewhat sanguinary
conflict with their pursucrs, continued
their retreat towards Richmond. They
were next intercepted ut West Point By
Gen. Franklin's division and like en-
gagement ensued with a similar result
How these engagements resulted, as to
comparative less or advantage, can
ouly be determined by comparison of
the reports that have reached us. At
Williamsburg the Feierals claim vic
tory, but have thus far declined the pub
LEGATION of statistics, or even "oficial esti-
mates" Of its cost AT West Point they
were like wise "eninently' successful, but
We must again rest content with the sim
pie declaration. The brilliant tayonct
charge of Hancock's brigade is the only
incident that has been reported from Will
liamsburg, and Vert Point has proven
even less fruitful Of particulars. We be-
lieve, We did see something about a Penn
sylvania regiment having "waded through
marsh" at the latter place, but We have
not even been told whether or not the
Maud reached their boot-tops. We remem-
Der also having seen something about the
arrival of many wounded at New York
and Baltimore, and Of Gen. McClcllan's
presence. together with heavy reinforce
monts, having been ''imperaiively deman.
ed in front" ut Williamsburg. Gen. Nc
Clellan. however, says he has thus far
been successful, the Agent of the Associa-
ted press says so, and as Secretary Stan
ton does not contradict either, we may no.
gainsay such high authority.
But, We have alluded to a comparison
of reports and will therefore give the
Southern accounts that have reached us. At
Williamsburg the Confcderates claim to
have gained very decided advantage over
their pursuers and state, that "they had
only portion Of Gen. I.ongstreet's divi-
sion in the fight" They claim to have
"repulscd the Fcderals with heavy loss,
and to have captured 6a3 prisoners and II
field pieces" They estimate the Federal
loss in killed and wounded at upwards of
600. whilst their own is put down at
2.23. Among the Confederate slain was
Gen. Early. The battle at West Point
was much more sanguinary and disastrous.
The Conf.derates, state, that "thcy re-
pulsed the Fcd,rals three times and drove
them back to their gun-boats,' but admit
a loss Of 1000. in killed aud wounded.
The fight had not clused when the courier
left the field. but up TO the time Of his de-
parture the Confedcratcs had been entire
~ successful. No mention is made of the
Federal loss.

shows the evacuation Of Norfolk and its

certain guarantee Of the national success.
There is but one apprehension that can at

much the fear Of any assistance that scces-
sion is likely to receive from abroad, ortheaid
and comfort which treason at home may
convey to it. as the possibility eff A TREA-

TION POLICY thrust Sd unexpectedly
on popular attention. - 1t will be i'm
possible to convince conservative men that
the pr opposed emancipation Of the slaves in
the Seeded States. by force Of the Fed
eral arms, has any other aim than to make
the success Of these arms subseryient to the
purposes Of abolition and, SO considered,
if suffered to any exteut to control the oper-
atoms of the army, it will lie equally in-
possible t. avoid its bligh,ing effects upon
the hopeful prospects at present before

NOTHING TO CHEER THEM-Up to the
time when the administration identified
itself fully with the Ab"li'ionists. by des-
troying slavery in the Di.tric, Of Colum-
bia, the loyal men in the Border States
were hopeful Of speedy suppression of the
rebellion, the preservation Of the Union
and returning peace and prosperity, but
since then, they are without hope and
know not where t" look for succor They
have nothing to cheer them-nothing to
hope for-n"thing to look forward To
with joy. since aLolitionis,m has forced
the administration to falsify its ll"lg' 5
and drive them from its support by in
vading their rights. a dark and gloomy
future is now before them and they are
in the depths Of dcsroudcucy Frederick
Cniun.

When the FIRST proposition for the issue
of one hundred and fifty million. of parcr

the facility afforded by this process of coin

into new issues; and that the paper would
run rapidly to depreciation. We begin
