TAX MORE AND BORROW LESS.
The waf 10 still progressing with nc

TAN MORE AND BORROW LESS.
The wafs is still progressing with nc
assured prospects of speedy termination;
its expenses demand further increase Of
the national debt and lead to still great.
er expansion of the currency. And, as a
matter Of course, the tendency Of gold is
upward, with little hope Of speedy de.
cline.
The remedy for the financial condition
of the country is taxation. and surely the
time has come to resort to it. The loyal
portion of the country is prosperous, and
the habits of the people are becoming
extravaeant. Immense importations Of
foreign goods, ministering to the luxuri-
Gus tastes of the people and draining the
country Of specie. furnish ample indica-
tions of oux ability to meet taxation. And
if that taxation should operate to repress
this general extravagance and diminish
our foreign importations, it would be
beneficial 10 the country.
AT all eyents, it is better to suffer the
inconveniences of taxation than to hazard
the peris OF an inflated currency and al
eventual crash from the failure of public
credit
In the firstycar or two of the wsr. the
people were not in q condition to stand
the burdens Of taxation; but there never
was time IN the history of the country
when the people generally were as able to
pay taxes as the present. Nor has there
ever been time when the mere fact of
the imposition of taxes by the Pedefaia
Government would exert go beneficial an
influence upon the credit of the. nation
and the currency of the country.
Sound policy demands the exercise of
the taxing power Of the Government, and
the people are ready for it. We trust
that Congress will DO longer hesitate to
meet the exigency By The judicious exer-
else of their authority which will meet
the demands of the time.
During the period of the war of 1919,
Great Britain raised, by annual taxation.
three hundred and forty millions of dol
lars on total valuation of property some
four thousand millions less than that of
the loyal portion of the United States
sow. A remote approximation to such a
rate Of taxation would more than COM
pensate, 10 its beneficial influences on the
credit of the Government and the cur
rency of the country. the burdens of its
imposition, to say nothing of its indirect
effects in repressing domestic extrava-
gance, diminishing foreign importations
and stimulating home industry.

SroP Ir.-The practice which prevails
in this city Of letting herd Of half-starved
COWS run at large through our streets,
robbing every farmers wagon that comes
to town of the hay and corn intended for
his own team, or to sell, is, to say the
least, mean and dishonorable, and has
become nuisance which should at once
be abated, if we wish to preserve the
kindly feeling which should exist between
our citizens and country friends. There
is not day passes but what our farmers
are subjected to this species of robbing,
and of which they justly complain; but
as there is no way of their receiving any
redress, the amin ais still continue their
depredatiens and will take corn and hay
out of wagon with as much CELEBRITY as a
cat would piece OF meat. For the honor
of the city-"stop it !" We have dog
aud hog laws, why not have COW law

a most wonderful and curious geological
specimen by Capt. Williams, who found
it few days since below the city. 1t is
geode of the exact shape of monkey S

bears close resemblance 10 the features
of man. This, however, is not the most
wonderful or beautiful part of this speci-
men. On breaking it open small and
very perfect crystal cross is seen in the
upper part of the skull. 1t is perfectly
white, while the inside of the geode is the
color of sandstone. This geological spec
linen can be seen for few days at the

girl to say yes, her lips parted several
times, but she could not articulate. -
Atplast the word was spoken, and a

A Thrilling Incident OF the War.

incident in the siege of Charleston,
taken from the Mercury of that city
The Yankees from time TO timo

seems to mind il. But misfortune
willcd that yesterday shell should
throw the entire community into
mourning.
Miss Anna Pickens, the daughter Of
our former Governor, never consented
to leave the city. Despite the repre-
sentatons of Gen. Beauregard, she
remained, Drawing the shells and
Greek fire, tending the wounded and
cheering oil with her presence
Among the wounded officers under
her ministering care was Mr.. Andrew
de Rochelle, descendent of ono OF
the noblest luguenot families of this
city. This young man was full of the
liveliest gratitude for his fair nurse ;
gratitude gave birth to more tender
sentiment; Gov. Pickens gave his con-
sent, and the marriage was fixed for
yesterday, tho 23d of April.
Lieutenant dc Rochelle was on duty
at Fort Sumter i'll the morning, and il
was determined that the ceremony
should take place at the residence OF
Geu. Bonham, in the evening at I
o'clock. At the moment when the
Episcopal clergyman was asking the
bride if she was ready, shell fell upon
the roof of tho building, penetrated
to the room where the company was
assembled, burst, and wounded nine
persons, and among the rest, Mis-;
