BALTIMORE, May 9.
A gentleman who has just arrived here
from North Carolina, reports that the reb-
el troops surrendered by General Johnston
are greatly demoralized, and nearly be-
yond the control of their officers, who are
striving to march them to their respective
States. Officers have become objects OF
intense hate, and it is as much as their
lives are worth to venture away from the
lines. Quite q number have been murder
ed by their soldiers, who seem tempted 70
murder them to get possession OF small
sums of specie which officers are under
stood to possess. Rebel soldiers express
an intense feeling against JEFF Davis and
various members of his cabinet, and there
is no doubt that if he or any of the leaders
Of The rebellion fall ilto their hsIds, they
will fare badly.

Tho National Taxes.

The National taxation will become
less alarming every year, as we be-
come familiar with the most, equitable
mode Of distributing its .burdens..--
The British Chancellor of they Ex-
chequer announced the other day that
tho excise and customs duties on
tobacco alone brought an amount Of
revenue almost sufficient to pay the
interest on the national debit % hsd
; Fifty years ago the national tax an
England was equal to an average of
SlS per head Of the population To
day the average is little over $l0.---
Twenty years ago the tax upon sugar
was over six cents a pound. To-day
it scarcely averages two cents. Before
PeePs time. tea was taxed to tho
amount of Is. sterling a pound. To
day the rate is about one-eighth that
amount, or nearly twelve cents. Be-
sides this, all constituents of ihoucs-
building, such as bricks, glass, iron,
&C., which used to pay heavy tax,
are now free. Tho taxes on tho nee
essaries Of life, such as meat, bread,
&C., were absolutely abolished when
free trade was established. We are
every dav moro concerned in studying
these facts. Tho average amount of
revenue annually required by tho
British Government to meet the ex-
penses of the administration. and pa y
the interest on the public debt, has
been, for the last twenty years, about
$3.50, 900, ,000.. During that time---and
mainly while the Russian war was
going on--its borrowings were com
paratively bagatelle. Il Yet the re;
mission of taxes, as we see, on psces-
saries and what may, properly'Ibe
called working mems comforts, such
as tea AMI sugar, have been lequalltu

IMPORTANT DrcrsIoN. In case tried
at the st. Clair Circuit Court last week,
between John Wright, plaintiff, and
the Grand Trunk Railroad Company,
defendants, it appeared that on June
22d, 1864, one Kennedy, who bought
a second-class ticket from Buffalo to
Detroit, left the train at Port Huron,
and sold his ticket TO Wright. On the
30th of August Wright got upon an
accommodation train from Port Huron
to Detroit, and offered this ticket to
the conductor, who refused it, but
offered to lend him the money to pay,
or trust him for his fare, which Wright
refused. The conductor put him off
at the Ridgeway station, without vio-
lencc. Wright brought suit for
damages, claiming 800, and obtained
Judgment for that amount before JUS
tice Larned. The case was tried in
the Circuit ON appeal. The above
facts appearing, the Judge charged
the jury that the contract was for a
continuous trip, and not for broken
or way trip; that the company was
not. bound to take the ticket, and the
plaintiff had 10 cause of action. The
Jury rendered verdict for the defend
ants.-Port Hiron Commercial
