We learn from the Richmond D1spatch,
that the Rev. John E. Edwards, of that city,
has written letter to the Episcopal Net5o--

ed charity. He says:

upon them; and, asI before remarked, these

BEAUTIFUL SENTIMENT. The beautiful
extract below is from the pen of Hon. Geo.
S. Hillard:
l confess that increasing, years bring with
them an increasing respect for men who have
not succeeded in life, as those words are COM
monty used. Heaven is said to be u place
OF those who have not succeeded On earth;
and it is sure that celestial grace does not
thrive and bloom in the hot blaze of worldly
prosperity. Ill success sometimes arises from
a scperabundanee Of qualities in themselves
good-from conscience too sensitive, taste
too fastidious, self forgetfulness 100 roman
tic, modesty too retiring l will not 50 60
far as to say, with a living poet. that 'stho

heroes without the laurels, and conquerors

The TnrE LIFE.-Thc mere lapse of years
is not life. To eat and drink and sleep to
be exposed to darkness aud the light; to pace
around the mill of habit and turn the wheel
Of wealth; to make reason our book keeper,
and turn thought into implements of trade
this is not life. In al this: but poor frac-
ton OF tha Consciousness of humanity is ava
kened, and the sanetitics still slumber which
make it most worthwhile to be. knowledge.
TRUTH love, beauty, goodness, faith, alone
can give vitality to the mechanism of exis-
tence. The laugh of mirth which vibrates
through the heart; the tears which freshen
the dry waste within; the music that brings
childhood back; the prayer tIa4 calls the fu-
tore near the doubt. which makes us medi-
tate; the death which startles us with mys-

the anxiety that ends in trust--thesc are the

THE SoUTu MAY BE TRUsTED-The Bal
timore Transcript in a wcll-considered ed
itoriaI, defends the people of Virginia from
certain charges made against them by the
Richmond correspondent of the New York
Times The Transcript shows, in the fol-
lowing extract, just appreciation of the
feelings and motives of the two classes there
in described:
1.-The truth is, that the South accepts the
situation honestly and in good faith; not
heartily, for that is preposterous. No man
likes to be beaten, and no people which has
made such sacrifices can accept conquest ex-
cept with a certain consciousness of degrade
ton. No magnanimous foe would think of
reproaching them for this. No one aequain-
ted with human nature would regard them
as less worthy of confidence for the honest
expression of those natural emotions. Peo-
pie who talk plainly, and yet profess them
selves ready to submit, can be trusted. 1t
is only the cowardly sneaks who hang around
the Federal officers, and profess to have been
Union men throughout the struggle, who
require to be watched. They doubtless did
not fail to pour iI.t) the cars of the Confedtr-
ate officers the bitterest denunciations of the
old flag and its supporters. Soldiers under

unfortunate that civilians do not khcw th.m

UNKNOWN
In the Vicksburg Herald of the l. th inst.
we find the following couplet, said to be an
inscription over the grave of Confederate
soldier, in the Alexandria cemetery:
"Unknown'-is all the epitaph can tell,
If Jesus knew thee ell is we'll
Those touching and simple lines are sug-
gestiye of many sorrowful reflections. They
bring up, from the mighty past, thronging
memories of the thousands Of noble and ar
dent soldiers of the South, who went forth
with flashing eyes and sprlnging steps in de-
fence of their native land, but who never
more will return to g .:.4n the hearts of
their kindred, Some Of them sealed their
devotion to liberty with the blood of their
young and gallant hearts. Others, toiling
through the scorching rays Of summer, and
shivering in the cold blasts of winter, without
food or adequate clothing, yielded to priva-
ton and disease, and finally persisted on the
terrible march, in land OF strangers, with
no gentle hand to alleviate the agonies of
death. Others, taken captives on the red
field of battle, were immured in Northern
dungeons, and, like Gagged eagles, dropped
and died.
All over this broad Southern land are
hundreds and thousands of little mounds of
earth, beneath which moulder the remains
Of our gallant defenders, with no stone or
monument to designate the pale siccpcrs.
We know they are soldiers graves-we know
nothing more. Many of the nameless dead
we're volunteers from other States; and in
many cases the very mothers who nursed
them in infancy are ignorant Of their fate.
Perchance even yet, at many distant home
steads, mothers and fathers and sisters, sus-
tanned by Elusive hope, peer through the
gloom Of twilight, trusting that they may
hear returning footsteps, destined never more
to be heard in the walks of men. The little
hillocks which mark the resting place Of the
unknown soldiers of liberty will soon be
leyeled and obliterated. Over their remains
the buzzing multitude will tread The
memory of themselves and their deeds of
valor, and their terrible sufexings and sacri-
fees, will fade from all minds, and oblivion
will add thir names to those of the innumer-
able multitude of Adams sons who have thus
persisted and been forgotten. Tn the Ian

Important Changes Proposed In the Inter
nal Revenue Laws

The last Congress authorized Commits
sion to investigate and scrutinize the whole
subject of taxation, with view to the SIM
plitication of our revenue system, so as to
render our taxes less multifarious and less
burdensome. That commission has made its
first report. The changes they propose are
numerous, important and, we believe, in the
main, judicious. Among them are the fol-
lowing:
l. An exemption of all incomes below
81 600 from the income tax.
2. A reduction of the tax on distilled liq-
uors from s. to 81 per gallon.
wearing apparel.
8. A repeal Of the taxes now levied on
pig iron (two dollars and forty cents per ton, }
coal (six cents per ton, and crude petro-
leum, Gone dollar per gallon1
4. A repeal Of all taxes now levied on
books, magazines and pamphlets leaving the
present taxes on paper, leather, &C., IN
touched
5. A reduction by one-half of the duties
now levied on home manufactures generally.
8. A repeal of all taxes now levied on re-
ir;.irs c. engines, cars, carriages, ships, &c.
7. A repeal Of all taxes embodied in SEIZED
ule A of the internal revenue act of last SEES
sion, except those On billiard tables
8. A reduction of the tax now levied on
brokers' sales of stocks from five dollars per
thousand dollars to one dollar per one thous-
and dollars
9. An increase Of the tax on raw cotton
from two to five cents per pound.
These notifications are proposed to take
effect on the first day day Of July next; or
at the commencement of the next fiscal year
and their general effect will be reduction of
our present burden Of internal taxes by about
one-fourth. Yet, even with these meiora-
tons, they calculate that our internal reve-
nue. will amount, for the year ensuing, to no
less than two hundred and thirty seven mil
lions of dollars, and our duties on imports to
one hundred and thirty millions Of dollars
making an aggregate revenue of three hun
dred and sixty. seven millions Of dollars. If
then, the cost of supporting our Government
shall be one hundred millions Of dollars,
(and it certainly ought, not to be more, and
the interest on our public debt should reach
one hundred and sixty-seven millions of dol
lars. (Which it will not, there would left one
hundred millions OF dollars to apply to the
reduction of the principal Of our national
debt at which rate it would be utterly extin-
guished within twenty to twenty-five years.
Let Congress but avoid needless aggraya-
tons Of our public burdens by the assump-
ton of State and and local debts, or the
" equalizlng" Of bounties, or the. creation Of
large standing army, or any Of the gigan-
tic schemes of public plumber now rife, and
We shall very soon be able TO reduce the sew
eral rates Of taxation without diminishing
their productiveness, until the weight of our
gigantic burdens will scarcely be felt, because
our aggregates of population, production, and
wealth, will have been 50 largcl vaugment-
