TAXATION.

To tax wisely. SO as to raise large rcTe-
nues without depressing industry, is one
Of the most difficult duties ever devoyed
upon the law-making power. Taxation
can never be otherwise than burdeuSome,
and it becomes especially so when sub
jcct to frequent changes. 1t is, therefore
of great Importance that the revenue laws
should be stable.

SUICIDE AT HUNGARY.-A merchant
named D. M. Crawley, of the firm of Craw-
ley s. Fariss, doing business at Hungary
Station, on the Richmond, Fredericksburg
and Potomac railroad about eight miles
above this city, killed himself yesterday
morning. The weapon used was a small
ngle-barrelled shotgun, which he placed
under his chin; and it is supposed he
pulled the trigger with his foot, firing up
wards. He was instantly killed, nearly
the whole of the top part of his head being
torn off. No cause has been assigned for
the deed. The. deceased left a letter,
which remained unopened until the meet
ing of the coroner's jury at an inquest
which was to have been held at 3 o'clock
Yesterday afternoon. Deceased was un-
married, about thirty years of age,
and had only been in this neighborhood
since the close of the war, having removed
from Alabama to this place. At the last
grand jury term Of the County Court the
firm of which he was a member was in
dicted under five presentments for selling
liquor without a license, and capiases had
been awarded in each case, returnable on
Tuesday next. They had issued from the
clerks office only few days since, and
would have been served on the parties this
morning.
