The Taxation Question.

The question Of whether the mines shall
be taxed, has been passed upon afirmatively
by the Convention whether they ought to
be is still mooted question, and one which
will be made an issue in the vote taken by
the people on the adoption or rejection of the
Constitution. The proposition that they
should be taxed is supported warmly by the
Enterprise and Union, and as strenuously
opposed blythe Bulletin. We have taken no
stand on the question, preferring to listen
to the arguments, pro and con, in the Con-
vention and the columns Of our cotemPora-
ries. Both sides of the question present
strong ground for argument, and both are
ably advocated.
The Union, Of this morning, has an article
on the subject, taking its usual ground in IA
vor of taxation, and containing two PROPOSE
tons, either of which it considers fair. 1t
says:
II has been suggested that two propositions
should be- submitted to the people at the coming
election. First the ratification of the Constitu.
tion with clause in H. giving 10 the peoPle anu
their future representatives in State Legislatures
the power either to tax the mines or exempt tne
mines and the power to either aid the Pacific
Railroad, or refuse to aid it, as they may select.
Second a separate clause in relation to taxing
the mines, similar to the one adopted last week.
Then if the people vote to adopt this clause, let
it become part of the Constitution; if they vote
to reject it, the Constitution will be perfect with
out it, and the ratification of our organic law Will
not be jeopardized by the mining taxation clause:
1t is urged, on the other hand, by the friends OF
equal taxation, that if the people should ratify
the Constitution and vote to aid the railroad, ana
at the same time refuse to tax the mines, We
would be in the unpleasant predicament OF hav'
ing State Government we could not support,
and promise Of railroad aid we could not fulfill,
and that it is better to place the Constitution and
the price of it before the voters in the same in
strument, and then they cannot vote for State
without at the same time voting to pay for it.

THE NEWS.

The dispatch received last night, and pub
lished in an extra by the Enterprise is, of the
most cheering nature, and fully confrmatory
of the news of last week. The broken and
Gsheartened troops of Bragg are flying to-
ward Atlanta and cannot be brought to make
a stand against the pursuing forces of Grant.
They are abandoning their stores Of every
description and will probably continue their
"Bull Run fight" until they reach Atlanta,
which being the great military stose-house
and arsenal of the Confederacy is undoubt-
edly well fortified. Here they may, perhaps,
be able to take breathing spell, and stand
siege of considerable duration. They will,
however, have but a weak heart for re-
sistance. The great aim and effort Of the
rebel leaders, for months past, has been the
recapture Of Chattanooga, which their papers
denominate "the heart and vitals of the
Confederaey." To achieve this, and drive
the invading army back to the Ohio has been
an acknowledged necessity, and they have
admitted that to suffer that army to winter in
Chattanooga would result in death-blow to
their cause. So far from succeeding in dis
lodging their troublesome foe, that foe has
advanced from his defenses and scattered
their investing army IN a wild, despairing
fight.
The news from Charleston If true, is glo-
rious. The rebellious den in which was
whelped the wolf of treason that has devasta-
ted the land, is, according to the dispatch,
long since laid in ashes and desolation.-
The ground where that City stood might
with propriety be levelled, "sown with SALT
and a monument erected upon it, like that
raised upon the site of the old Bastile. Let
the ground be accursed, and let no man build
thereon. We are, however, somewhat skep-
teal with regard to the news from that point.
1t comes to us from roundabout source, and
is eleven days older than that received by
our dispatch of last Saturday. If the dates
given are correctly telegraphed, the story is
unfounded. The dispatch of Saturday con-
tanned direct news from Charleston harbor,
to the 10Th of November.
The intelligence of the escape Of John Nor
gan and other rebel prisoners from the Ohio
Penitentiary is perfectly disgusting. The
idea of their having done so, in the manner
related, without the knowledge and CONN.,
vance of the officers in charge, is absurd
Whether their crime is neglect or wilful CO.
operation with the prisoners, its damage to
the country is equally great, and they ought
to be made to take the places of the scoun-
drels they have turned loose upon the world.
The 1000 reward offered for Morgan's ap-
prehension, will avail nothing. He is by this
time safe within the rebel lines, or with his
friend Vallandigham among the neutrals''
of Canada.

The Legislative Nominations.

The Union Central Committee of Storey
county met yesterday at Virginia, and NOM
mated E. E. Phillips, of Gold Hill, as can
didate to fill the vacancy in our Legislative
delegation, caused by the death Of E. Barnes.
A mass meeting had already been called to
meet at Yesey's Hall, in Gold Hill, this eve
ming, for the same purpose. The action of
the Committee, in forestalling the mass meet
ing has caused much dissatisfaction among
those who signed and approved the call. The
dissatisfaction arises, we believe, not so much
fromPersonal objection to the nominee, as
from the disregard of the wishes ofthose who
made the call for the meeting. 1t is of course
perfectly regular for the Central Committee
to make such a nomination, but when the
choice of the community can be readily as
certained, as was proposed in this instance,
it would perhaps be better, and certainly
would ensure greater harmony and good feel
ing to have that choice consulted. We I'M
stand that this meeting will be held this eve
ming, and as to its results "we shall see what
we shall see."

Something must be Done.

The innumerable cases Of highway robbery
which are daily occurring on the roads in
this immediate vicinity, call loudly for the in
auguration of some active measures for tn
clearing of the country of the banditti tha'
infest it. A well mounted and armed patrol,
Of dozen or two resolute men would soon
effect this object. Several Of these robberies
have been committed in open day and in
plain sight of others than those robbed. In
an open country like this it would not be easy
for the robbers to escape if once discovered.
A few of the volunteer cavalry, now in the
Territory, would be very excellently employ
ed in this manner, if allowed by the officers
and would most likely enjoy the sport.

THE RUMoRED MURDER AND ROBBERY.
The rumor which we published last evening,
concerning murder and robbery near Car
son, has probably some foundation. A dis
patch to the Virginia morning papers from
Carson, states that it was reported in that
city yesterday afternoon, that teamster was
killed yesterday between the Mound House
and the New York House BY three robbers.
After shooting the teamster, the robbers took
what money he had about his person. A
horseman was in sight of the affair, but was
frightened and fled. As there is so much
talk and so many reports there may be some
truth in what was rumored here yesterday.
In addition to the above, our reporter has the
following: From Mr.. Lundin, resident Of
Silver City, whom we met on the streets Of
Virginia this morning, we learn that team
ster was killed by robbers last night on the
Carson road, between the New York House
and the Halfway House. Mr.. Lundin states
that there is.probably no doubt Of the truth
of this statement, as it was reported in Silver
City this morning by parties just arrived from
the scene of the tragedy. If those fellows are
not fixing their necks for the halter, we shall
miss our calculation.
