The Burthens sof Taxat1onl

The New York Herald argues that the
American people are taxed heavier than
any other nation in the whole world. The
e1itor says:
eve have estimated that taxation 10y the
Federal government alone, independent of
State, county and municipal taxes, amounts
to fully $14 a head-man, woman and child
for the whole population. Take the case
of laboring man, with a family of five or
six children, and it will be seen that he
pays about 800 year, which, on an aver
age, would be about a seventh or eighth of
his earnings. Yes, the whole working pop
ulation pay i'll one OF another way this
enormous and proportionate amount of
their hard-earned money. Nearl y one days
labor out of the week the year round goes
to the support of the Federal government.
The local taxes imposed by the States,
counties and municipalities amount proba-
bly, to nearly as much, for in the end, di-
rectly or indirectly, all taxation comes out
of labor Why. in the city of New York
we are taxed over $23, 000,0 year-as
much as was raised and expended by the
United States government thirty years
ago.

THa MURDER OF CAPT. DESN1s-LA-
CARoLIsA.-Mr. James Jones, who went to
North Carolina in search of the murderer
of Capt. Dennis, returned home at a late
hour On Tuesday night. He brought the
schooner with him and it is evident from
blood stains on the mattress, and in many
places on the deck, that the Captain was
murdered on board.
Mr.. Jones states that he applied to the
magistrates in Elizabeth City for warrant
to arrest O'Neil, the suspected murderer,
but could not prevail upon any of Holden s
appointees to bestir in the matter. He
found out where the murderer had gone
to, and if he had obtained warrant, SO as
to make a prompt pursuit, would doubt
less have come up with him. Mr.. Jones
was therefore compelled to return with the
vessel to this city.-Norfolk Journal.

The Great Solar Eclfpse.

On the morning of the 18th instant, the
leading astronomers of the old world were
doubtless studying, with telescopes and
the various other appliances of modern sci
ence, the great solar eclipse of the centu-
ry. No recent astronomical event has so
thoroughly awakened and interested the
scientific world. Throughout Europe the
preparations to witness this marvellous
phenomenon have been for months pro-
crossing on the grandest possible scale
Nearly all the European Governments have
sent the best equipped scientific expedi-
tions to the scene of eclipse. The New
York Herald of the 18th instant, referring
to this great eclipse, remarks:
"The eclipse will commence to-day soon
after sunrise, near Alden, on the Red Sea,
pass through India and the Malay PENN
sula during the forenoon and terminate in
the evening in New Guinea ard the Orien-
tai Islands. The black shadow, which
will be upwards of one hundred and forty
miles in diameter, and surrounded by a
penumbra four thousand miles in width,
will sweep from the eastern portion of AT
RIGA across the Arabian Sea, Indian PENN
sula and East Indian Archipelago-an eX-
tent OF over eight thousand miles. When
this black shadow is traversing the East
Indian Archipelago will be the moment of
the most complete eclipse. The obscura-
ton of the sun will endure fully six min
utes and fifty seconds in India and seven
minutes at Saigon, permitting the savans
who have set out from Europe to note its
time to record with accuracy its startling
manifestations-an advantage not hereto
fore presented in consequence of the space
of time of endurance of the eclipses being
much more brief, the phases previously
noticed not exceeding three or four min
utes.

since the harvesting commenced, of large ship
ments Of grain from the farmers, by the lakes and

no small quantity of all this will be forwarded 10
Europe. A fair cotton crop, say 100000 bales,
and large shipments Of breadstufEs, with pork,
hay and other articles to go forward, will tend TO
