AUGUST 7, 1861 NATIONAL TAXATION Congress passed-Several Tax bills, hest week, for carrying on the war.— In the absence of official copies of the bills we are asTet unable to say de:fi_ nitely what all the provisions of the bills are, but, from the inforination at hand the following, Wo think, a pret ty correct outline thernof, as it will affect the people of this section : First is the Indirect Tax, or Tariff, on Importations, which is designed to produce $60,000,000 of revenne. To produce this Coffee is taxed four cents a pound ; Sugar tee cents a pound Cocoa three cents a pound; Tea fifteen cents a pound ; Brandy 61.26 per lon; and on other imported Liquors in proportion,- Next comes the Direct Tax. This Tax is designed to raise $20,000,000, and is levied-on Real EttrAte„ pretty much the , same as our State Tax. it is also 'collected with the State Tax, if the States will accept the collection of it. If not, the National Govern ment will organize the machinery for its collection. The Taxis apportion ed among the States; the proportion of Pennsylvania being about two and, a half millions of dollars. Our pres ent State Tax•being less than one and a half millions,-we may reasonably in fer that the National Tax will be jest about double our State Tax. . Then we will have an Income Tax, This Tax is laid on the proceeds of all property, profesiens,-trades,Occu potions, &c., exceeding $BOO yearly. The rate is three per cent., except on incomes where the L o w n e ' re - Soside a• broad, in which eases. it is five per cent. The three per cent. is charged on all moneys at - interest, &c., pro clueing over the sum specified. Th tax on carriages, witches / &e., is in• eluded in thearrect The above Nelet , ‘,% - 11 proartee,fit estimated, about eighty Million-s of dollars; but ras the expenses of gov. crnment be between three and four hundred millions of dollars' er year, Congress has authorized the ad ministration to horro , .v two hundred and forty millions in addition to the eighty millions, for the present year. Comment on the above is entirely su• perfluous. The people will do their own thinking. UNION. It is desirable that there shotild be Union in the North to make the ef forts of oil government effective to suppress Treason and Rebellion. As. many members of the Republican par, ty have officiously taken the matter in hand, we now beg to call their at tention to the administration itself.— There appears to be anything but Union and Harmony there, but b. stead, , the high officials are getting themselves inttea regular dog and cat fight. Row can ewe expect to have the war brought to a speedy close, if the President, pulls one way, Gem Scott another, and each member of the Cabinet, his ownindependen tway not to mention the dozen of others, from the N. Y. Tribune down, who seem to have authority, and who are always pulling backwards and for. wards with no other result then pull: ing enormous sums of money out or the Treasury ? No Ovv4c,zlfOtt. LPEACE.--It seeies that Coogressiis , dotermincd that no door shall be left open for4ho aceum modation of the present (rational &tildes, save hy war. In :another column we give the Peace Rosati tions offered by Mr. Cox, last week, and the fate they met with. We al so giro the veto, a record that Wikl yet cast into oblivion many a one that figures thereon on the nay side. fair The killed and wounded at the battle at Manassas, on Sunday, the 21st of July, is offiehaly reported as between 800 and 1,000 .en our side, and 600 to 800 missing. The enemy lost about 1,500. it seems to us thut , the Courier is rather anxious to east euelpicion upon Mr. Cochran, than 'to avert it, by. its persistencefforts to defend him when nobody charges, and nobody be lieves him to have been connected with tho fraudS practiced upon the govern ment. We did publish the bill alluded to, and Mr. Cochran in his letter says that the bill is in acec,..rclunce with the copy us furnished "in the, Governor's Special Message," which, howt:Fer, be adds, is a mistake. So that if thOre is misrepresentation, .tho Governor iiitnaolf is the author of it, and it strikes us is as much to blunts as we are. We published the same he did, nnore'.. We do not doUbt. that it w.as a blunder on his pait- 7 ,his whole administration beingaeontinu ous blunder. Mr. Cciehran's num . ° Was not at all mentioned or alluded to An tits article.

In *last week's Republican papers of this place' there appeared of the Chairman Cficibe'ReiniiNgn County Committee, calling it Oinv,en tion of _delegates ,to,meet :on thez-_2d of - September - next.

This no Democrat can asseot to consistently with his principles. There are many Republicans in Congress 'do not do it.

It is not, :however, from 'any' fear to condemn' these errors, or shame cif their time:honored principles, that the. Democrats of this County, and,as, we believe of the State, are willing to. waive all 'party contests for .the pres ent.

In short there; is no stain on the bread 'and brilliant fold of its glorious banfier.

Neither du the Democrats of. this county care particularly for office.— They are too long used to abstinence on this point, to care much now whether they break their fast, al though of coarse if expected to unite in unanimous support of a ticket, sell -respect would imperatively re quire them to demand a proportion ate share—surely not more.- They will do their.duty by their country, office, or no office, and of this the ppont - is ample. • say then if ) the Republicans in this county are really 'disposed to car ry out the no party cry upon which they aro so constantly ringing the changes, we believe the Democracy of this county are prepared to meet them bnlf•way, or, us we have been So largely in the minority of. late, let us say, two-thirds of the way. This we leave to them to decide. On the contrary, if they merely desire to enlist. the patriotism of the people, in order (as they undoubted ly can do, or at least, have heretofore done,) to secure (Ace Without Demo cratic. aid, then we are very sure, that the Democracy of this county will again nail the flag of their party to the mast-head. They have borne it too often through disaster and defeat to dread their recurrence.

During the Vale cif BID Rtn, the Third Regiment of New Jersey Voltinreers, Col. Taylor, was ordered up the road as the reserve, 'with orders to protect some am munition at Burke's Station. They went readily forward; longing to get into 'the fight, whose distant thundering reached their ears; Among, these it was necessa ry to detail some men to protect the arri munition; and, to his great regret, spoiling his hopes of the bank, Lieut.

PARTIES 1N THE NEW CONFEDERACY. —The Augusta (Georgia) Chronicle expects very soon to see two. parties arrayed ,in the new Confederacy, struggling, for the Presidency next fall, and the diviaion, it thinks, will be upon the point of admitting other States, "one savoring the admission of other States whioh may choose to ac cept our 'W1).410111'611, the other cling ing to the 'delusion of a pure slave oerztcyfi lII° present provisional President and Vico. President, we are told, both "favor the idea of ultimate reorganization," while Howell Cobb, it is implied; and the ultra Southern party, are forever opposed to the ad mission of free States. Here,- then, says the Sentinel, is the programme, as we think.--Howell Cobb for Pres ident upon the basis of no admission of any free State, and no admission of such slave State as will give the power in the Confederacy to admit free States by a two-third vote. In this wise, :is We take it, is a party to be - Organized in opposition to the present administration. TAREIV PRISONERS.-!--11.

If a boy of six years Old . has a notion that he is a.- g oad deal older than you are, and you knowthat he has done wrong, and-he conies 'to you 'full of obstinacy, and says he, wont stop till he has done it again, you first try to reason with him.

'lf yOu wont do it, you shall be sent to bed 'without anything. to eat;* and you cannot go to the pic-ni e with your brothers and sisters to - morrow.'
