MEAN TO Collect THE TAxEs.-Meas-
ures are being taken by the Government
to collect the internal revenue taxes in
Utah. The. Saints have been having a
good time of it since they took up their
residence in the Valley. They never paid
for their land. they have never paid their
quota of taxes, or contributed their quota
of men to the war, and the internal reve-
nue. is a dead letter with them. Now,
however, the case will be different. They
viii be called upon to pay their taxes and
settle the little bill they owe the Govern
ment. This viii test their plurality wife
system. IF a man out of Mormondom
can get through with supporting one wife
and paying honorably all he owes public
~ and privately, he does very well. How
one can pay all these and support a dozen
unless he puts his wives to work to help
support him.

REBELS DISPOSED oF.-They make
quick work with rebels in South America.
President Moreno, of Ecuador, had a re-
volt in his State a short time since. He
did not parley with the rebels. He did
not think with Buchanan, and themodern
copperheads that he had no rightto coerce
them. He seized a British steamer in
the port of Guayquil, drove the crew
ashore at the point of the bayonet, put on
boarC cannon, ammunition and troops and
''wen5'' for the traitors, who had seized
some of his ships, and we're not far Off
He smashed in among them, rode some of
the ships down, capturing the rebels and
dispensing the whole concern. He steam
ed back with his prisoners, shot twenty
seven of the ring leaders, and surrendered
the steamer back to the owners, all in the
space Of three days. Moreno must be a
trump. He knows how to put down in
surrections.

The First Decision of the New Chief
Justice.

Mr.. Chief Justice Chase's first opinion at
tracted unusual attention from the bar. 1t
was on subject of national, and indeed of
international importance. 1t tonched q
point never yet decided bya high tribunal,
and went against uniform presumptiops
that had almost acquired the force of law.
1t is hardly necessary to say that the law.
yers we're delighted. The cogency of the
reasoning was matched by the condensed
vigor of tho style, and both gave ample
promise of restoration OF the best days of
the court under John Marshall. Mr.. Chase
has the faculty-rare everywhere, but es-
pecially among lawyers-of compression dis
intel Iectual efforts. Chief Justice Taney
furnished the bar with diluted food; Chief
Justice Chase gives pemmican.
The case itself has been made familiar TO
the public. A blockade runner, attempting
to get into the port OF New Orleans, was
captured some days after New Orleans was
in our possession. Its intention to furnish
its cargo to the rebels, and its ignorance OF
our occupation of the city, was not denied.
The only question was whether this occupa-
ton by our troops had not raised the block
ade, and therefore converted the blockade
runner into merchantman, making law
full voyage.
Mr.. Chase decided that the port had
beeu closed by proclamation, and must re.
main blockaded until opened by proclama.

Mr.. Tilton has put the thing so well
that we give the following paragraph
from very just and eulogistic editorial
in the Independent OF the 26lh uls. He
says:
Child Of the East, the West is the Chief

England element westward is not only
the best part Of the West, but the best

WASTED TIME.

Alone iD tho dark and silent night.
With heavy thoughts of q vanished year
Wncn evil deeds come back to sight,
And good deeds rise with welcome cheer;
Alone with the spoctors OF the past.
That como with the old gears dying
chino,
There looms one shadow dark and vast
The shadow of wasted time.
The chances of happiness cast away.
Tho opportunities never sought,
The good resolves that evory day
Have died in tho impotence of thought;
The slow advance and backward step
In the rugged path We have striven to
climb;
How they furrow the brow and pale the lip
When we talk with wasted time?
What are we now? What bad wo been
Had we boarded time as tho miser's gold,
Striving our utn ost need to win,
Thro' the summers heat and winters cold
Shrinking from naught that the world can
do,
Fearing uaugbt but the doom of crime,
Laborng, struggling, all scasobs through,
And knowing no wasted time!
The years that pass come not again,
The things that die no life renew.
But cen from the rust of this cankering
chain,
A golden truth is glimmcring through;
That to him who learns from errors past,
And turns away with strength sublime,
And makes each year outdo the last,
There is no wasted time.

Florence, South Carolina.

Florence, the point at which Sherman
is aiming, and which he may have taken
by this time, is an important railroad
center in the northeastern part OF South
Carolina. A railroad runs directly south
10 Charleston, a distance of about one
hundred miles. Also from Florence rail-
road stretches east 10 Wilmington, while
another tends away south westerly to
Brancbvil!e, and etil another connects il
Cheraw, an important cotton depot, al
most upon the Mort Carolina border.

ambassador at Washington, and who, by the

Of Mr. Lincoln, that he might present this

White House, in company with MIR. Seward.
