INCREASED TAmrF.-The Western In
ion Telegraph Company, says the Dis
pa'rh, contomplates an increase OF their
rates for dispatches over lines in this
Territory. The immediate cause of this
increase Of rates is the high valuation
at which the conlpanys property in the
Territory has been assessed. The in
crease will be from 33 to so per cent,
which will come out of the pockets Of
the people, in consequence of the un-
just discrimination between telegraph
and railroad property. While the for
mer is taxed ut more than its first value,
the latter is assessed at about one-tenth
the cost of construction.
