The report wis read a* follows: To the Hon. T. f\ .7. Lnxnrmrr. S-tf tfcr of illf HMSt of prproo ntotiv*. Mr. PaMersrti. from the select committee to whom was referred House bill No. 882, enti tled "Ail Act to reduce the State tax on rest Htj>l persona! estate to two nulls on the dollar, moat respectfully begs leave to submit the fol lowing report: The question of taxation immediately eon corns every citizen of tb Common wealth; and any legislation t'ueroon r< quires the greatest caution and scrutiny. While the necessity of increasing the taxes would be seriously fell nnd lamented by ail, the ability to reduce ibe present burden of the people, anu the fact that mich a reduction can be made with safety to the future and justice to the creditors of the State, will, n tiouhr, bo hailed with joyful sat isfaction by the witting and patient taxpayers, as u forerunner of the "good time coining," wb<-n tiie orditiarv resources of the Common wealth wiii be auipiy sufficient to defray ali it current annnil expenditures, without a dollar of direct taxation. The bistoiy of taxes is, that they are con stantly increasing; nud it is the plain mi J im perative duly of every legislator to direct Ins energy and influence to an actual and substan tial reduction, ii within his power. In our inquiry into this subject, while we de sire to relieve toe taxpayer of a portion of his burdens, we arc compelled to keep in view the honor and credit of our noble eld Coium oil wealth, pledged l< r the redemption ot her debt. The constitution requires the Commissioners of the Sinking Fund to annually redeem one quar ter of a million of dollars of the State debt; it is a wise provision. The present prosperous condition of the Treasury fully justifies tbea— aerib'ti that, by prudence,economy aud finan cial pkill, we can in future pay annually one million of dollars of the .State debt, provided there should be no falling off in the revenue from other .sources than tLe direct tax on real nnd personal estate; and upon careful examina tion of ill- different items of revenue we can find no one tybieh can, or will, be cut off, or be decreased in amount; but the experience of the Treasury .goes to prove that the revenue is gradually but certainly increasing every year from its present sources. The whole amount,of receipts at the State Treasury for the fiscal year ending 30th No vember, 1858, was §1,708,910 82, deduct the whole amount of State tax on real and per sonal estate, §1,610,229 19, ami we have the sum of $3,098,697 63 as the receipts of the Treasury from sources besides the direct State tax. Now, n comparison for the year ending 30tb November, 1809, will be still mora striking g< itig t prove i fie assertion that the cotidniou A Weekly Paper, Devoted to Literature, Politics, the Arts, Sciences. Agriculture. &e., &e—Terms: One Dollar and Fifty Cents in Advance ' of the Treasury will justify a gradual reduc— ion "t lhe State tax until it i* entirely remo ved, and yet the resource* will be ample to meet the ordinaly expense* of the Government, ! and aunualiy redeem u large amount of the ! State debt, and secure its final extinguish j men:. The Sla'o Treasurer estiinxte* the receipt* tor the year 18.59—and we arc informed the figure* have been more than realized since tne j year commenced (30th November, 1858,) at | $4,990,827 76, deduct whole amount recoiv jed Irotu Sta'o tax for 1859, $1,650,000, and j we have the sum of $3,330,827 76 a* the re ceipt.* of the State outside the State tax; yet th:s sum is sufficient to pay the expenses of 1859, and redeem the amount of the State debt required bv the constitution. The appro priation oiil for 1859 is in round numbers,s2,- 900,000; redemption of State debt, $250,000; added together, $3,150,000, showing a bal ance of $180,827 70, after paying expense and debt, without collecting one dollar of State tax. These figure* mu-f convince the most in credulous of the foci that the State tax c in be gradually reduced, and in a few year.* entirely reinovo'i. Your Committee doubt the policy of eon fin- , uing the pre-cnr heavy rate of taxation for 'be purpose of n r-} id liquidation of t{, State •ieht. alio credi'ors •>( Urn State receive their interest promptly and will be satisfied to re eeiv so much ni tio> principai as the figures b..w can be readily paid.

PIKE'S PEAK A Steamboat, filled with gold seck?rs bound to I'ike's Peak atid the tegion touudabout, was sunk, on Monday night in the Ohio, by a col lision, and a score or two of lue p.ts.*engus were drowned. Thus enu* the goluen dream of one party ot entlius:asts. Hundred* ot i t'ict* will prnbablv perish toy disease or au cideiit, and ail will sufter tnoie or less tioui fatigue, privation and exposure. Rut i; is with such trials as these, that waste places are fiiled an t couiiiionweal'hs ..re formed. A great sacrifice must be offered to tim goodess For tune, before ber lavor is vouchsafed to her votaries. Tim number of emigrant*, adventurers, pil grims, or whatever they may tie called, is enormous tnis spring, livery steamboat and raiiroad train bound to the West is filled with them, and vehicles and animals of all kinds are brought into the service. A private letter, dated St. Joseph, Mo., Marco 25th, is before us, winch suy s : "Our rify is a perfect jam, crowded with Pike's Peaker*. homo ate going with hand carts, S IUIU with winuitiarrows, and some with knapsaeks. Two expresses leave every week fillcU with passengets. The ox-trains usvc ut yet started. The rail road cars bring in daily fiotn two hundred to fne hundred people." All other places on the route preaeut tho same extraordinary spectaeie, and it is believed by some that the wilderness of Western Kuu sas witi cotuain before the. summer is over, at least one hundred thousand inhabitants This uiay be tho case, unless the promise of the rich— uess of the uoues should be unfulfilled. Of this there is some dangei ; for occasional re ports reach us of returning mioers, broken in health, spirits and fortune, who report the gold unties a humbug. Same have spent the winter in the most praised region, and have left dis gusted. There must be a large per ceutuge of such failures and disappointments in an emi grating population, and Pike's Peak, with iis contiguous goid bearing country, may not al together satisfy the expectations of any. Still niativ active and energetic people wiii he trans ferred to a good country, aud even if the g"!d fails, will become permanent settlers. ihu> population and civilization will he thrust farther westward, to meet the returning wave from the Pacific States, aud thus tho whole lluion will be benefitted. !
