Taxing slaves in the south.

The Tuscaloosa (Ala) Observer of the 23d
uIt appears to think that the slave interest is
getting off rather too easily from its just pro-
portion of taxes. 1t says:
If Congress would save the currency from
further depreciation, let it impose tax of one
hundred dollars head on every negro in the
Confederate States This is the only meas
ure which can avert the ruin which the besot>
ted planters of the country are bringing upon
themselves. Taxationl taxation! taxation is
the only remedy. Nothing but taxation will
reduce the currency and oriug it up to the
specie standard. We have no hope in any.
thing else: Again we say tax the planters
tax the slave interests II our rulers are not
all demagogues and time-serVers, they will
rise up in the exigency of the times, and put the
pecuniary burden of the war upon those for
whom the war is now waging-the slave-own-
ers-the men who are getting rich by staying
at home to make corn crops to sell to soldiers
families at ST. so per bushel.

Why England Avoids war with America.

why england AVOIDS war with America
The London correspondent o: the New
York Times writes:
The Emperor has been more than civil to
Mr.. Slidell, while Earl Russell has been much
less than civil to Mr.. Mason, Mr.. Slidell in
France, from all accounts, is as well treated
as if he were a recognized Envoy. Mr.. Ma
SOP. except on his first arrival, has not been
able to get private interview with Earl Rus
sell. Shall tell you the reasons of this diff
erence? There are several. OGe is the prox-
unity of Canada to the Mort hern States, and
the similar proximity of Mexico to the South
ern. England hopes to keep the one; France
has taken possession of the other. England
is determined to avoid war with America
For this the Government stopped the Alex
audria, and so stretched the law in doing it
that the Court of Exchequer decided against
it. By similar stretch of law the Govern
ment is stopping the iron-clads il the Mersey.
The Government will do everything that can
be done TO avoid giving offense to America
1t earnestly wishes for peace. No one can
tell the terror of war with America that has
seized upon the Euglish Government and peo-
pie. 1t has taken the bIuster out of the Times
1t amounts to a panic. 1t is ludicrous, and
more than ever SO, since the report of the ef,

Mnnstar War ships.

1t is said in Washington dispatch, that
Secretary WelIes. in revising the plans for the
$500 ton warships under proposition in the
Navy Department, determined fully to test the
principle of the casemate as compared with
the turret, aud to that end rejected the plans
of those vessels submitted to him, and com
municated to the Consiruc ton Bureau bis idea
of three ships, monstrous in size, impregnable
in plating. and as fast as steam power can be
made TO urge iron through water. The ques-
ton of their size will be allowed to follow
wholly the question of the capacity Oftheir en-
gines. They will be 5000 tons at least, and
may be 5000, or 1000 tons. They are to be
big enough to hold the machinery necessary to
make the fastest war vessels that have yet
been built The plates for the easements will
be from fifteen to twenty four feet long, from
five and half to six inches thick, and fully
three feet wide. 1t is Secretary Welles' pur-
pose to put these three National bulwarks in
hand and get them out in eighteen months.

Negro Schools.

The Nashville Union, in an article respee-

emancipated slaves cannot take care of them
selves, mentions these highly favorable facts:
We do not know OF better reply TO this
ptiful stuff than to state the fact that amid all
the excitement and extraordinary troubles of
civil war the black people have been carrying
on no less than eight highly respectable
schools which are attended by some six hun
dred pupils. OF these schools six are individ-
ual; the other two are under the management
of trustees. Three of them are in the West,
three of them in the North aud two in South

Overwhelming Union PTciory--
The election held last Tuesday, resulted in one
Of the most sig nal victories ever achieved in
Ohio. The loyal and patriotic citizens of the
State rose in the majesty Of their strength,
and swept everything before them. The re-
turns from every section are of the same gen
eral character, showing immense Union ma
iorities and large gains over the vote of last
year-iudeed the indications now are tina,
Brough will receive a larger majority than
was given 10 Tod, on the home vote, while
the soldiers vote will run it up to nearly il
not quite ONE HUNDRED THOUSAND Re
turns,from some fifty counties show gains av-
eraging nearly 900 to county on the vote
cast last fall for State officers. The Legis
lature is also overwhelmingly Union, as are
the county tickets elected. The result is q
most glorious one, and it has caused joy M
speakabIe among the loyal people of the cOun
try, while it causes dismay among rebels south
and their sympathizers north. II is equal to
a decisive victory on the field, as the triumph
of VaIlandigham would have been equiVa'
lent to a rebel victory. Well may the Peo
pie shout and rejoice. The details will b
given hereafter.

THE MEETING OF THK l0TH.-The Union
Mass Meeting of the 10th inst. was one of the
finest demonstrations in all respects ever wit
messed in Delaware The weather was very
pleasant-the turnout of people was immense
--thR display of banners, notices, huge wag-
ons, sc. magnifcent-the speaking excellent
the enthusiasm unbounded. 1t was a scene
never to be forgotten BY any who were in at
tendance We have neither time nor space to
go into details The procession from Berk-
shire was over gwo miles long, that from the
west was quite as long, and those from the
north and south fell but little behind them
The numbers in procession, as per regular
count, exceeded twelve thousand. There were
at least half as many more on the streets
who were not 10 the procession, seven car
loads came by the Springfield road, and q
large number by the G. C.& q. road. A
more respectable looking and better behaved
crowd never assembled. 1t was one of which
our county may well feel sud. The flag
for the largest delegation was awarded to Scio
to township-that for the largest number o.
voters in proportion to the vote cast for Tod
to Radnor. BRoUGH and GALLOWAY were
the orators OF the day. Hon. J. R. HUBBELI
presided; and j. D. VANDEMAN Esq. made the
addresses on the presentation of the flags.

A Card" of Thanks,

In view OF the immense service rendered by
certain Indiana, Illinois and New York poll
ticians to Ohio in the election just held, where
by the Union majority has been pushed up to
about ONE HUNDRED THOUSAND in
the State, it seems no more than just and pro-
per that the Union men of Ohio should make
some public acknowledgment to the politi-
clans Aforesaid for their important services in
securing so grand result.
1t is therefore moved and seconded, that the
thanks of the Union people Of Ohio be tender
ed to Vorhies of Indiana, to Merrick ofIIIinois
and McMasters of New York. for their services
in bringing about such triumphant condem
nation of Vallandigham, whose election they
especially advocated And the Union men
would take this occasion to express their pro-
found conviction that if the aforesaid out
siders'' had been brought into the State 6
month earlier in the campaign they would
have so utterly sickened and disgusted all 10y
al Democrats that the Union majority would
have been double its present respectable y
number.
And, in view of the service thus rendered
by those disgusting Copperheads in making
| the people sick of Copperheadism, the Union
men of Ohio would Recommend an appropri-
alton of $l7,75O,9 1866 &c, in Confederate cur
rency, wherewith to procure each of said Cop
perheads rat-tail file in order that each 0
said vipers may enjoy the otium cum dig o

Tha Big Guna Of tha Nation.

We do not mean by big guns, either
Messers. Seward, Chase or Stanton. They
are small bores compared with those three
hundred Founders, which General Gilmore
has under his special charge at Charleston
We may take the occasion, however to state
that even these monsters are to be cast in
the shade by other guns we are getting
ready. These new engines of destruction are
to throw a one thousand pound solid shot
This announcement will doubtless prove the
reverse of comfortable to the rebels, who con
sole themselves with the assurance that oul
big guns at Charleston can throw only fifty
shots before they burst. We should Imagine
that fifty of those three hundred pound shells
filed with Greek fire. would be quite enough
to settle the fate of Charleston. The largest
gun that the English journals, make mention
of, is six-hundred FOUNDER. But we hear
nothing from them of the result of the tria
of this affair." We should feel obliged fol

A Cold WINTER.-The weather prophets
say that people in Minnesota may look out for
the hardest winter seen there for years. There
will be more cold days, the mercury will run
lower. and the snow will be deeper, than ever
before since 1857 This is the first fall since
that of 81 the brook trout have commenced
leaving the small creeks for deep holes as early
as September, and the first season since then
that the muskrats have double-walled their
little hilock homes. These and certain other
infallible signs known to the sportsman and
hunter indicate winter of unusual severity.
1t is thought by many that the river will close
at least two weeks earlier than last year
