TAxATIoN.-How much longer the
negro and his rights are TO blind the
eyes of the Northern masses to their
true interests, we do not pretend to
say. II is a cheering sign, however,
of returning reason to see ONE of the
Radical papers talking candidly to
their readers touching the great bur
den which they stagger under. The
following is from that most rabid OF
the Radical organs, Harper's Weekly /:
We cannot help thinking, and say
ing, too, in strict confidence to the
ron - th.;~ jour nal, that, uufI ana
stupid, voiceless as the public may be,
he has some rights which politicians
will sooner or later have TO recognize.
He is now paying taxes at the rate-of
$40 so per 500, say S25M50 per cent.
more than is payed by the most heav-
lily taxed people in the world, In
England the taxes are heavy, no doubt,
but food and clothing are cheap. In
Russia living is expensive but taxes
are light. Here, in the United States,
the public groans undor the simultan-
eous burden of heavy taxes and ex-
pensive living. We have a notion
that sooner or later he will rebel
against his load, and that the party
that laid it on his shoulders will itself
be laid pretty low.

Eloquent.

In a recent speech to "his fellow iti-
zens Ct African decent" Gen Wade
Hampton thus eloquently refers to his
position
"You ask counsel of me. | have given
it, fully, frankly, and sincere. No person
al motives can possibly sway me, for |
am no longer a citizen Of the United
States or OF the Confederate States. The
bill that gives the right of suffrage to
you DISTINGUISHES me. have not even a
home here; for my home, and the homes
of all that loves my name. have been laid
in ashes. l have no political rights. l
have nothing 10 bind me to this ruined
land but the memories Of the past, and
the graves of my kindred. Their ties,
however, are strong enough to keep alive
in my heart a warm interest in my State,
and they are sufficient to make one strive
always to promote her welfare. This mo-
tive alone brought me here to-day, for it
was not until the chairman of your COM
mittee urgedme TO come upon the ground,
that l could thus "do good to my oyn
people and to his" that | consented to
address you. / trust that these expecta-
tons may not be disappointed, and the
spirit which has animated this meeting
has spread oyer the whole South. / trust
that hereafter there may be mutual kind
ness, forbearance and cooperation between
all classes of our people,"

Products aud Climate Of Russian
America.

A correspondent writes to the Alta as
follows:
"Having often seen notices of the eli
mate, products, etc., of our newly nc
quircd possessions, its islands, etc, /
thought you would publish for the benefit
of your readers, what / have seen there
thirty years ago. | left Boston, Mass, in
the ship Hamilton, Captain s. Booker, in
the early part of 1866, for u trading voy-
age to the then called Northwest Coast,
uiia Wahoo, Sandwich Islands. We made
tho land in the vicinity of Nootka Sound
and traded sometimes with natives on the
main land, aud sometimes on the islands,
aud prosecuted our voyage north and
west as tar as Atchka Islands. We spent
the winter among islands. Our principal
trade was for sea.otter skins, although VIC
traded for anything there was money in.
We found the summers short and hot
and the winters not so cold as in the New
England States. On the coast and islands
there is never any frost on the ground,
for as soon as the summer is over the rains
fall in large quantities, aud immediately
after tho snow covers tho ground to the
depth Of about FIVE feet; then comes tho
cold. In the spring, as soon rs the
rains have dissolved tho snow, tho
country is green as a leek. The Russians
raise n few watory potatoes, and there was
a kind Of wild radish found in the woods
which | think were the only Vegetables
The Indians brought us a few cranher
ries, which eame tho nearest to any fruit
1t is a mistake to say that the country il
not we'll wooded. The most maghiicen.
Norway pines aud hemlocks grow in the
greatest p~rofusion. We cut many splen
did spars, which we carried to the Sand
witch Islands and sold for large sums
We never thought of prospecting tho
country, although there would have beer
no difficulty in so doing. We found i
difficult in getting dry wood for fuel fol
our ship, but discovered in n subterranean
Indian lodge 0 fne vein of most excellen
camel coal, and easily procured what v,
wanted for half a handful Of chewing to
bacco, by mining ourselves. The natives
would also sell US a very fine article o
copper in the shape of putting coppe
handles to sheath-kniv and axes, which
We would furnish them for tha, purpose

to them again to be rehandled. The,

TAXATION IN NEw YoRK.-The Daily
Times states that the National, State,
county and city taxes of tho people of
this State amount to 500, GOO, 900 for
1867. Our population is four million.
that is to say, twenty-five dollars to each
man woman and child. We think this is
too light an estimate butno matter, it will
do for the present, Taxes will be more,
however, before they will be less. A peo-
pie who will allow robbers and thcives to
legislate for them deserpeto be 1eeced.-

IMMIGRATION FOR 1867. The arri-
val of European immigrants at New York
since the first day of 1867 indicates that
the entire arrivals for the year will reach
100000, or $4,000 more than for the
year 1867. It is also estimated that at
least half of them are German. The rest
are from Ireland, England and Scandina-
Wan countries.

SLAVERY IN BRAzIL.-In 1856 Brazil
had a population of 1877, 800, of which
it was estimated that 1000, 900 were
whites, ], 121.000 mixed free people, $780,
900 civilized Indians, 600, 900 mixed slave
population, and 1000, 900 blacks or Afri-
can slaves. Thus it will be seen that FIVE
sixths of mixed blood, and -wo-ffths of
these are slaves.
