FRIDAY. JUNE l, 1866.


We presented to our readers 'e" ""'
x;n,e = statement of the amount OF taxa
ton imposed BY the City Council upon tue
n,,n,, or Richmond. We proved by COM
nar;son that the amount of taxes now I'M
noscd was greater than when the city was
in the most flourishing condition; that they
were unequal and MISUNDERSTANDING
widely in the same species OF taxation on
tle same branch of business.
Such taxation at time like this, when
So many of our people are eating mp their
,ubstance--likc the bears in winter, sub
sisting upon their accumulated fat until the
spring-thc spring of a revived trade,
which it is to be feared is yet many months
distant-Such taxation, when we are YET
sitting amidst the ruins of our town, and
there is no business to yield profit or en-
courage enterprise, is most onerous. We
cannot imagine how it should have been
deemed probable that it could be endured
in addition to the impositions OF the State
and Federal Government. The aggregate
of the city tax of all kinds is 1868, 3,'9'.9Z
To this large addition to the burthens
of the people over those OF the pros
porous years before the war we have
| TO add the State tax and the direct taxes
of the Federal Government, to which We
were then strangers. These amount to al
least S2GS, ,G37 .S0-making an aggregate o
s632 ,435.7i; we suppose, a fourth more
than we have had to pay at any former
time for being governed.
The paying out of six hundred and tmr'
tvtwo thousand dollars in taxes by people
situated as ours arc-robbcd, burnt out
their only money little more than twelve
months since annihilated in single day
begging and borrowing means to rebuild
their houses; depending in their business
upon an impoverished country, winch can
| afford no support for trade until Its crops
are in market next year-the paying o.
such a sum by people so circumstance
must take part of their principal. Their
profits will not enable them to satisfy the
tax -gathcrcrs.
Under such circumstances, is 1t wise TO
increase tie b,uthcnS Of tdration? VIII
not that policy still further cripple the
people now struggling to recover from
unprecedented adversely with an energy
and spirit that amount, VIC may say, TO
hcroism To increase those burthenS al
such time must impede the progress
of that rcslscitation from the ashes OF the
Great calamity, and delay the period OF
that perfect recovery which VIII enable
the community to bear taxation and to
redeem the faith and credit of the city
The circumstances Of the times are aho-
malous-wc cannot hope to disregard them
W., cannot meet all demands individually
nor as a community. Both policy and feel
ing Join in urging an extension oi tihe'
as best To secure the carly ability OF the
city to meet its liabilities, and as best to
promote the energy and spirit OF the
people.
We cannot but believe that the Council
will, upon reflection, make salutary modl'
fications Of the taxes they have imposed.

We refer to this subject, noticed in our
paper OF yesterday, for the purpose OF dong
exact Justice to the parties concerned in
inaugurating the work of deepening the
| channel on the bar. 1t was stated that
Mcssrs. HEIxEKER & PALMoRE, of the New
York and Virginia Steamship Company
| had taken certain amount OF city bonds
at par to assist in the undertaking. We
arc informed that the Atlantic Coast Mail
Steamship Company, of which Messrs.
AYREs & Co. are agents, took an equal
share of bonds with the New York and
Virginia company, and arc therefore equally
deserving of credit with that company III
this important movement.
The river will soon be dccpcncd 50 as to
hermit vessels whose draft enables them
to reach it to pass it easily and anchor at
our wharves. But once done, the channel
must be kept open, or in few years the
work will have to be gone over again. 30
that while the contractors are removing
the accNmulations of five years, the city
authorities may look about ana iiiahc suoii
arrangements as will insure the keeping
the channel at a uniform depth. Wherever
the upper river meets the tide, in all
rivers there must be deposit of what Is
brought down in the bosom of the rapid
steadilyfowing stream from above. NO
contrivancc of engineering can prevent
this deposit. 1t may change it from one
point to another; but it cannot stop its
accumulations. Therefore, to meet the
obstacle boldly with the industrious dredg-
ing apparatus, and to dig it up from out
of its place and convey it off to where 1t Is
out of the way, is the only remedy. The
operation of dredging should be, therefore,
repeated after every great rise in the
river, and no interval to allow OF any scr'-
ous accumulation of this deposit should be
permitted.

THIRD DAYS PROCEEDINGS.
MORNING SESSION,

Convention opened with prayer by Rev
Mr.. Howard, of Alabama.
Rev. DR.. Fuller moved to take from the
table the resolutions on inviting Baptist
ministers in good standing to seats, but
the motion was lost by large majority.
DR.. Poindexter reported from Commit
tee on Revision of the Constitution, making
second article of the original constitution
a substitute for the present article. This
makes the "United States" the held OF
operations of the Convention.
Rev. G. c. Biting, Of Virginia, from the
Committee on Future Operations OF the
Foreign Mission Board, reported in favor
of an enlargement of their work ana
vigorous prosecution of the same. The
report eloquently plead that the misSlona-
rics in the field be reinforced as soon as II
can be done.
DIR. Fuller moved to accept the report,
and expressed his hearty approval of the
same.
Rev. DR.. Jetcr urged that foreign MIS-
sions had been the torerunner OF all our
other works of benevolence.
Rev. DR.. Taylor, Corresponding Secre-
tary of the Foreign Mission Board, eX-
pressed the anxiety of the Board to rem
| force their missions as soon as possible.
DIR. Tichenor, OF Alabama, deemed this
a fitting time, while we are rebuilding our
own fortunes, to make fresh start in the
work of sending the Gospel to the heather
Rev. NJ. T. Sumner, OF Alabama, Cor-
responding Secretary OF the Domestic MIS-
sion Board, urged that so far from tlierG
being anv conflict between his Board ana
the Foreign Mission Board, they were sup
Elementary to each other.
Rev. George B. Taylor, of Virginia,
urged that this was the best time IN the
history of the work for securing suitable
men for the foreign mission work. lie
spoke of the widespread revival in the
| Confederate armies, and of the number OF
converted young men now III the sontil
who are prepared for the work by the hard
slips and sacrifices of the army.
Rev. DIR. Poindextcr, of Virginia, urged
the same idea, and took occasion to say
that the usual decentralization of an army
had not been realized in the Confederate
army.
Rev. DR.. Sherwood, of Georgia, spoke OF
tbe reflex influence of missions.
Rev !. William Jones confirmed what
had been said as to the effect OF the army
work. liz spoke of the number OF con,
yerted soldiers who had decided to devote
Themselves to the work of preaching the
GOSPEL, and earnestly expressed the hope
that as he had been disappointed by the
war in his cherished purpose OF going tc
the heathen, there might be among tue
vonno men converted under his ministry
n the army some one to take his place IL
China. n

A LITTLE GRAvE.-Scattered over the
grounds in Hollywood are occasional
graves of or honOred dead. While roam
ing through this "city Of the dead" on
yesterday, looking at the decorations which
sympathizing hands had lavished upon
them, our attention was attracted by a
small mound, on which some one nd laid
Il handsome bouquet. The grave was un,
marked, but not unknown. Some fond
mother, or loving sister, or brother, had
no doubt often been here to weep and
mourn the early dead. In the spring-time
of life had the little one been taken OFT,
but the hand of affection had put on the
little mound bouquet of flowers which
will soon wither and fade as the one whose
spirit had been quenched in death. A
mothers heart is sad when in her memory
she hears the clods fall on the coffin, and
her eyes are wet with tears when she re-
members that the little loved one is gone
forever: and no better expression OF her
love and affection can be given than thus
to decorate the last resting place of "the
loved and lost"

MAY QrEEN.-The last of the May
Queens for the month, probably, held her
youthful court on Wednesday evening at
a residence on Libby's Hill-that part OF
Church Hill which overlooks Rockets, and
on which the summer evenings breeze
plays so refreshingly and delightfully."-.
Her Majesty was elevated to her eminence
by the pupils of Mr.. Gates's school-her
"citizen " name, Miss Wiley and though
her reign may not make that name as
illustrious as "Bourbon or "Guelph,'
yet it's perfect innocence and purity gains
for il more honor in Paradise than is ac-
corded to dynasties that have made the
world trembe, yet have been stained with
the blackest crimes and inhumanities. Our
guileless young Queen acquitted herself
with dignity and unaffected grace. The
coronation honors were very pretty, and
very successfully conducted.
After the crowning, and the speeches
attending it, several poems were recited
by the girls. One favorite repeated very
cleverly the poem of the Conquered
Banner" A sweet little companion sue
ceeded her with the recitation of the reply
to it. Both did very well. The audience
was delighted, and the scene closed amidst
the general felicitation of queen and court
| The innocent creatures were all perfectly
happy. 1t was sad To reflect that sorrow
will one day steal into the young hearts
now so joyous.

P. Wheat, assisted by a most admirable

the singing of Mr.. Habelmann were greeted
with deserved applause, and Mr.. Strlni's
Mephistophiles and Barber's Song were
encored in Il manner that admitted 10
doubt of his success.
The instrumental portion of the pro-
gramme was carried out by Messrs. Gibson
and Jungnickel in way that enchained
and delighted their hearers and it is with
great pleasure that We call attention to the
repetition announced for tonight.
ANY one with musical taste cannot fail
to see that treat like this cannot be had
often in any city, and we ask for Mr.
Wheat a reception tonight that will voucf
for the good taste of Richmond, and save
him from loss in his effort to cater to it.
