The question truly is, govemmet nr no government, for with thts countr_. dismembered, and cut up into a number of discordant .States, there would be little security fcr either life or property. That paper says : The first to raise outcry against it are Hioatlv of a class which can be made to suf fer least by the levy, either because they have nothing taxable, or because or the availability of their resources. ignoring the justice and the necessity Oi the tax. thev seize upon the thing per and, after distorting it into hideousness, fling the caricature in the faces ot the peo ple with a great flourish of indignation. These men care nothing for the people, whether thev fee wronged or exalted. They care nothing for cause? or principles. In all that affects the welfare of humankind they are essentially vile. Ihev have cun nioz. but of tbe lower order : their iives are falsehoods. *1 hev are faise beacons, set to lure the too confiding upon treacher ous rocks, and their feast day is the season of national trouble But taxation is sometimes just and nec essary; indeed, in degree, it is always nec essary. What in times of peace would justlv arouse popular indignation, in times of trouble may become not only just, but beneficent. Such a time has now arrived. The existence of the Government depends up>on measures which call for a great ex penditure of treasure. We are engaged in a war whose least stake—and we say it without fear of successful contradiction —is the wealth, public and private, of the coun try. Ay. though the purchase of an hon orable and enduring peace impoverish every man and woman in the P*.epubiic, it would be cheap The means to purchase such a peace must be had, and the burden must be laid unon every shoulder, according to its ability to bear it. From the possessors of dimes to the holders of millions, each and all must be permitted to take bis share ol the burden end the responsibility. There is but one way to adjust tbe bur den so that it sh-li bear equally upon all The productive wealth of the country must be taxed. But first, let every sinecure, whether Ictate or National, whether civil or military, be instantly abolished. By cut ting off as much expenditure we car, abate so much tax. Let every salary paid by Government for services rendered be taxed. and go heavily as may be necessary. Or. if it be more feasible to reduce the salaried of public servants, let that be done. If it be necessary to cut down every salary to the living minimum, do that; then com mence with the President and heads of de partments, and let the work of retrench ment descend to the humblest employee of the Government, excepting no man, of any ' grade whatsoever. This will show the people that when men speak of retrench ment they mean eomthing more than words, words words. The thin gilt of cheap pa triotism —such has been current and plen tiful for the last decade, will not pass with a people made lynx-eyed by taxation. We want our public men to frame a tax-bill, a just, and a thoroughly competent one; but when (hey take it in their hands and go among the people, they must be able to show that tJiej/ have not avoided sacrifice while demanding sacrifice of wtbers. It is a poor quality of patriotism which cannot 1 cheerfully bow to any necessity ; that can not go Lack to the bare floors and homely fare of the pioneers of freedom in necessi tous times : which cannot banish every lux ury, and lop off the superfluous branches of pride, and so increase the number of good citizeus, while helping the nation through itß first days of actual gloom. And, if there be a single industrial in terest in the country which sends up a re monstrance against taxation in this emer gency, let fb remonstrants be known aa fair-weather patriots; blind men, who can not see that unless the Government be su3- t lined, their investments are but dust—ut terly valueless It is the simplest question whether men shall save half, or any other i proportion, or lose all. " Weigh it, sound it, discuss it, do with it as you will—that is the alternative. Accept it and live— livo so that you will not regret the day of 1 your birth —or stop to cavil and remon strate. aud perish, cursing the blindness of • i ruthless self." Such is, in substance, the preachment of these necessitous hours — hours, which, though heavy with gloom, will separate the pure gold of manhood I from the dross of pretence, and brand the false as false. ©afSome of his friends recently boasted that Geo. A. Crawford, Esq , late of Lock Haven, had been elected Governor of Kansas. It is true that some hundreds of votes were caet for him, in several districts in that State —but the Supreme Court has decided that Gov. Robinson is " Gubernator" until next fell—to that that trick wouldn't take. iKOC ~wL GS )r In the Sau c The i-- v reported & bill mrinag prwisoa fi>l t ie representation ot American industry at the World's Fair.

In the Senate on the 29th. Hon. John B. Henderson, Senator from Missouri, ap peared and took his seat Mr. ITale, from the Nival Committee, reported against the appointment of Cadets to the Naval School on the score of merit. The resolution ie latine to secret sessions of the Senate and House when immediate action is desired bv the President on subjects relating to the existing rebellion, was amended and passed. Mr. Lane's substitute for Mr Wilson's Sutlers* bill was rejected aid the subject passed over. The case of Senator Bright, of Indiana, was then resumed, but a vote on the pending resolution to expel Mr. Bright was not reached. The House passed the Legislative, Judi citl and Executive Appropriation bill It allows only one mileage for each regular . session The bill authorizing the President to take possession of Railroad and Telecraph lines in certain cases was paisea. as wa? also the bill making appropriation for the J completion of the defences of Washington ' The joint resolution in relation to seerei * sesssions of the House was agreed to.

The resolution for the expulsion of Senator Blight was further discussed, and the Senate adjourned over till Monday. The House of Representatives postponed the Treasury Note biil until Monday. In Committee of the Whole, with Naval Ap propriation till before it, the slavery ques -1 tion was discussed. The Senate on Monday, alter a brief ses sion, went into executive session and re mained therein until a late hour The House engaged in the discussion of the Treasury Note bill. Mr. Valiandig haui, as usual, opposed the bill, which may be regarded as an evidence that it is a bill which will meet with the approval of all loyal citizens. The bill was finally repor ted to the House. A sharp controversy took place in the course of the session be tween Mr. Lovejoy, of Illinois, and Messrs Webster aad Thomas, of Maryland, the for mer gentleman having indulged in his views on using the military for the destruc tion of slavery.

Pu pont had succeeded in passing byway cf Warsaw Sound and Wilmington river to a point commanding the Savannah river and completelv cutting off communication a be tween the city of Savnnah and the Rebel t rce in Fort Pulaski. Six of the gonboats wera at Wall's cut and seven at the head >f Wil mington river, on Tuesday last. Tatnall's fieet attempted to convoy two steam-rs anl a fiat boa; laden with provision* to F >rt Pol a?ki, but were, as appears by the despatch, driven back. Tbe S utbern papers boast that the F rt is provisioned f r six m nths. The Federal gar.Lcais were removing obstruc- ' tions in the chancel, and we doubt not are Let.re this in full possession of the Savannah river. Above Jackson, are a small work and such earth works a? may have recently been erected, but neither are likely to ling resi-t the pr gress of the fieet. The next , news from that quarter will very likeiy an- , nocnce that tbe city of Savannah is in the possession of the Federal forces. The X; r folk and North Carolina paper-continue to how great anxiety about the Burnsi Je Expc dition. Another lot of contrabands who escaped to ' Fortress Monroe on Wednesday, from Scvr eil's Point, report that the Merrimac bad been completed but was not yet launched.— Lieutenant E. Connolly, a released Federal prisoner, arrived by flag of truce at the F JT tress. Sevor.nl tag boats 1-ft on Wednesday afternoon to join the Barnside Expedition at Hatteras. Dreadful A fair —Two Pennsylmniaiis Killed. A court of inquiry, over which Gol. Me- Cartcr, of the 93d Pennsylvania, presided, ci sed its sitting on Saturday. Oneof theca=e? which came before the c >urt was that of Bar- Dey Grogan, a private in Col Rowley's 13th Pennsylvania Regiment, who was tried for tbe murder of two of his companions. ' I An officer, who was present when the mur der occurred, gives tha following account of i it: Grogan was somewhat intoxicated when . he gi.-t into an altercation with another pri vate, named Young. They Loth got excited, when Grogan rai=ed his gun and deliberately ! shot Young through the head—the ball cn '' taring his right eye, and carrying away the ? entire side of his head. A private named 5 Ly-ander Robb, who was guard ninety yards - ; distant, received the ball which killed Young in the breast, one inch above the right nipple. . The ball passed through, and lodged in the , skin of kis back Ha iived but a few min utes after he received the shot. Robb was only nineteen years of age. lie is very re spectably conuected in Pittsburgh, lit was a great favorite in the regiment. Col. P*JW - ley manifested mu h feeling when he learned of his untimely Ueath. Both bodies were sent to Pittsburgh next -Jay. The ball which was extracted from young Rj bit's 3 -uy vi fmnd to be much indented. There is no doubt Lot that Gp-gan will ha - .teneei to be u 11-c is said to be a quarrelsome man.

Another di vision WiiS expected to I'jaVfc littXl u;it. A tuber of recruiting <-ifi ;ers, acting under authority of Gen. Price, had been busy en listing men for the Rebel rank-, but had becD captured by the Union forces. By the way of Holla wa hare information that no en trenchments are being made by the enemy at ipriugheld, aud that Price and his officers are not in the least moved by the nearness of the Federal army, as there are said to be heavy reinforcements on the march to assist Price. The same authority states that there are large 1 bodies of Federal troops at Lebanon, and that a skirmish had occurred near that place, in which a Rebel Captain wa killed and several man taken prisoners. Government teams are moving westward whenever the state of the roads, which are ankle deep in mud, will per mit them. By the way of Leavenworth, Kansas, we have information that Gen. Lane's expedition is to be commanded by Gen. Hunter in per son, unless otherwise ordered by the Govern ment. Gen. Hunter has issued a special or der to this effect, and also that as no trans portation is to be had the army must move without it. He further says that the General commanding will take his valise cniy, and but one change of clothes; no officer or soldier, therefore, will take more. All trunks, tents, chests, camp stools, and surplus clothes are to be stored or abandoned, Every officer or soldier is to carry his own bed and bedding, ammunition, and provisions. A severe fight took place a few days ago at Geary city, Kansas, between the Jay hawkers and a party of citizens, who fol lowed them from ilushville, Missouri.— Three of the thieves were killed, including the notorious Capt. Chandler, who was shot by Major Hart, of Buchanan county. — The band was overpowered and taken in charge by Captain Fuller, of General Hun- i ter's Body Guard, to be disposed of in Leavenworth. One was left in jail in St. Joseph, but he cut his own throat the same day to avoid the penalty of his crimes. On Saturday, January 25, after passing gaiety from -edalia to Independence, Mis souri, the mail stage was seized by a band oi secessionists at a point jbout half way veen the la ter place and Kansas city, .jie were cine or ten passengers in the - at the time. who. with the driver, wre all carried off as prisoners. The mail bags were cut open, their contents scattered on the ground, and then the reb els decamped with their booty and prison ers. The next day (Sunday) the stage from Lexington to Independence was in like manner seized and the mail bags open ed. and the letters and papers scattered Col. Garfield has fallen back from Pres toasburgh to Paintsville to meet his sup plies, as it was impossible, 0:1 account o! the state of the ro_ds, to move wagons forward. He his ordered several reconnois sauce* in the direction of I'iketon, but no traces of Humphrey Marshall or his runa way army couid be found. The bark Trinity has been chartered to convey three hundred and eighty-six pris ouers from Boston to Fortress Monroe, to be exchanged for an equal number of Fed- j eral prisoners in the South Rebel correspondence found in Zolh coffer's camp after the rout of his forces, demonstrate that the Union sentiment of j East Tennessee is all but overwhelming, and that it is suppressed only by drum head court* martial, summary executions, ; and other atrocities. The orders of the rebel war department directing the sum mary execution of the malcontents and the barbarous exposure of their bodies after death, are commended to the attention of secessionists in Maryland, who think it great hardship if the Government does not : allow them to burn bridges, or execute other disloyal acts without interference. UfA correspondent of the New York : Tribune, writing from Kentucky, speaks of the late battle there as follows : There is, indeed, retribution in hi*tnry The Ball's Bluff slaughter has been fully avenged, as now ascertained. A counter 1 part to its saddest feature —the drowning of oar retiring troops in the Potomac—has been enacted by the retreating Rebels.— When thev reached the bank of the river, after their precipitate flight from the battle field, they rushed in crowds upon the flat boat that, with a steamboat, formed their means of crossing. So great was the rush upon the former that many were pushed overboard. Others hung themselves in such numbers in the water, holding on to the rides of the boat, that they threatened to upset the boat, and compelled those upon it to loosen their hold by force A large number rushed headlong into the riv er after the boats had stood utF the bank. atid tried to swim across. Over 150 are thus supposed to have found a watery grave. The Rebel cavalry dismounted on the bank and tried to swim their horses over while crossing on the boats. The an imals, however, all swam back to this side. Four additional pieces of artillery have been discovered, unking the total number captured twenty-one. Nearly two hundred r moriers, who had scattered through the wood*, were taken. Some scouting parties sent out from the entrenchments found the bush on the left hank tuli of horses, and brought in over two hundred of them <>u Saturday last two companies of the Tenth Indiana crossed the river and pushed as far as Monticello. They. afoo. all came hack mounted 011 Rebel horses. They re ported that tiie flying Rebels came through that t.wn on a run on Monday last. Or it tenden at their head and informed tl\e in habitants that thirty thousand Yankees wcr.e at their heels. So reduced were thev tc a starving condition that they rushed into corn fields and satisfied their hunger with raw grain. ®a%_The House ot Representatives of this State last week passed the following bill: Be it enacted, e, and the same is hereby, assumed by the State; and that for the purpose of paying and satisfying the same ti the treasury of the United States, after de ducting such per centum as may be all meed thereon, in accordance with the provisions of said act, the Governor is hereby mthorized to release to the United States the whole or any part of the claim of this State against the United States, and to pay any balance of said quota that may remain due after soeh release out ol any moneys heretofore refund ed, or that may hereafter be refunded to this State by the United States, on account of ex penses incurred by this State by enr dling, subsisting, clothing, supplying, arming, equipping, paying and transporting volun teers employed in aiding to suppress the present insurrection against the United States. Resolved, That the Governor be request d to furnish a copy of the foregoing to the Treasurer of the United States. A resolution was also adopted in the House in favor of expelling Bright from the U. S Senate, but failed in the Senate. The committee to investigate the alleged corruptions of the last Legislature, has been appointed, with Mr. Hopkins, an old canal commissioner, as chairman.
