Tuesday Afternoon, April 1, 1562.
RAILROA.DS AND TAXATION.
State governments, like individuals, learn
their most salutary lessons by experience, while
there is no experience which is so suggestive of
care and economy as that which affects the
financial condition of both. In this respect,
Pennsylvani► has learned a salutary lesson—
one which cannot fall to be of great benefit to
her interests for all future time, while it will
Rasta, in equalizing her acts of legislation alike
to individuals and combinations of men. On
the subject of taxation these lessons are more
forcibly learned, because they bring out the
importance of supporting the state, and incul
cate the duty of all contributing to that sup
port. A year ago, the state of Pennsylvania,
through the legislature, repealed a tax law,
whereby a large revenue was lost to the state,
and the act was approved and considered fair,
that the Pennsylvania railroad should be ex
onerated from the payment of a certain tax
because the exclusive levy of such a tax on that
road, while all other roads were exempt, was
rightly considered a just act of legislation ; and
had the legislature at that time insisted on the
payment of the tax due the state by the Penn
sylvania railroad, not a murmer of opposition
would have been raised against the repeal of
the tonnage tax.
Bat the question of tonnage taxes has as
sumed a more general shape in their objects of
producing revenue for the state, and it is now
wisely proposed to levy such a tax uniformly
.
upon all tonnage as one of the provisions of the
general state tax bill. The argument in sup
port of this proposition consists in the facts
that every other description of property and
income are taxed to support the present extra
ordinary expenses of the Government, and that
railroads, therefore, are alto justly liable to such
taxation. Of course it needs no elaborate
statements or discussion to prove the justice of
this claim, nor will we impose upon our readers
by any such an attempt. Our object is merely
to state the fact, that a movement has been
made looking to the levy of a tonnage tax
by the offer of a joint resolution in the Senate,
on Friday last, by Hon. Alexander K. 11.'Clure.
We quote the resolution from our legislative
reports, and reprint it in the TELEartera this
afternoon, for the purpose of bringing it more
fairly before the people. It is as follows:
rlT;l . T . !r ' !FM=l=rWirll=MM=3
Resolved by the Senate and House of Representatives
of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, That our
Senators in Congress be instructed, and our
Representatives requested, to favor a uniform
tae upon tonnage as one of the provisions of
the general tax bill.
Resolved, That if Congress shall fail to impose
a general lax upon tonnage, the commissioners
to revise the tax laws of the State be requested
to consider the expediency of imposing a uni
form tax upon the tonnage of the State, to be
applied exclusively to the liquidation of any
debt heretofore contracted, or hereafter to be
contracted, for the defence of this State or the
maintenance of the National Union. Such taxes
to be imposed as to afford every just discrimina
tion in favor of Pennsylvania trade and interests,
and said commissioners to report on the same
to the next Legislature by bill or otherwise.
From the tenor of the resolution, it will be
risen that the tax makes no distinction. It is
proposed to be uniform on all roads, and there
fore unlike the tonnage tax levied heretofore
exclusively on the Pennsylvania railroad, it is
just and equitable, and cannot fail both to be
come a law and meet the approval of the peo
ple. In its present shape, it has our full en
dorsement, and we trust no time will be lost in
placing it upon the statute book of the com
monwealth.
In this connection, we cannot refrain from
writing a word personally in regard to the dis
tinguished mover of this proposition. It will
be remembered th certain parties engaged in
assailing Senator McClure, at the time, for his
active participation in the repeal of the ton
nage tax levied on the Pennsylvania railroad.
His course then was of that fearlessly positive
character which is pcculiar to moat of his arts,
and which the timidity and trimming of
his legislative opponents could not under
stand and appreciate. But the proposition
now made by Senator McClure completely
explodes every accusation brought against him,
and he now not only extablishes his dis
interested motives at that time, but his
disposition at any time to take that lead in
legislation which looks to the highest interest
of the people of the whole commonwealth.
When he deemed"the taxation of one railroad,
while all others were exempt, unjust and im
partial, he had the independence to mote for
its repeal. When he considers the levying of
a tax on all railroads necessary to the support
of the government, he has the moral courage
to submit a proposition to that effect, and urge
its passage. It is such acts which constitute the
true statesman.
Tim rex proposed upon proprietary or patent
medicines by the bill now pending, it is estima
ted will amount to six and a quarter millions
of dollars! If all quackery, as well as that in
medicine, could be subjected to an impost, the
rev nue would suffice to pay the entire interest
on the war debt, and leave honest industry
unburthened.

SEASONS AND TIMES
The St. Louis Democrat finds a parallel tot our I
present embarrassments in English history, a
country that has suffered more from rebellion
than any other in the world. And yet, amid
the gloom of English tyrannies, the spirit of
the people often broke forth in noble reforms,
which wrung from the throne the greatest and
most important concessions for the people. But
since the time when the sturdy Barons of Eng
land extorted terms from King John at Run
nymede, there has been no period of human
progress in which men have not abounded who
hesitated and started back, affrighted with the
feeling that the day was not exactly auspicious
for the working out of some great social pro
blebs, and that a year or two hence its solution
would be far easier, and attended with much
greater effects.
These are the men whom the sounds of the
winter woods alarm, and whom the shadows of
evening appal. They may be men of hope and
desire, but they are not the men of strong con
victions or abiding faith. They look forward,
it may be prayerfully, for the right to come
about, but they do not grapple with the wrong.
The devil, understanding the impulses of their
honest natures, appears suddenly before them
in their chambers, and they sink trembling to
their knees, instead of clutching an inkstand
and casting it at his head. They wish and hope
and pray for a better day, but stand shivering
on its brink, afraid to approach its portals, be
cause they may not turn on golden hinges ; but
harsh and grating iron instead.
In the great army of Ignatius Loyola such
men were never, enlisted. Martin Luther would
have turned his back upon all such men with
contempt ; nay, he would have spurned them
with his foot. Such were not the men who sat
with Charles Carroll in the Continental Con
gress. Such were not the men who followed
Washington through the gloomiest winter al
most in the annals of time.
No brave and earnest man hesitates when
there is work to do. Every beginning has its
shadows, just as every long road has its quag
mires, its hills, and other obstacles ; but the
earnest man penetrates the former, and sees
the reward that lies beyond, just as the brave
one marches up to the latter and overcomes it
by the force of will.
Wendell Phillips was once mobbed in Bos
ton ; now he addresses thousands in the chief
public hall of Washington city. Gamaliel
Bailey was for - years rejected by the builders of
political platforms in many of the States;
few years afterwards he went to the capital of
the nation, and became the chief corner stone
in the grandest edifices that parties have yet
built. What if Wendell Phillips had not es
sayed to open his mouth in Boston till he could
have done so without danger? When would
he have been heard in Washington ? What if
Gamaliel Bailey had not dared to despise the
local politicians, which it was dangerous and
costly to do, till "the better day," which the
public always have in view, had dawned upon
him ? When would that feste'ring sore, the
slave-pen at Washington, have ceased to aston
ish foreigners from abroad, and rebuke Chris
tians at home?
The day was not auspicious when John How
ard undertook to bring about prison reform in
England. Nor was it auspicious when Doro
thea L. Dix appeared as an angel of mercy at
the mad houses of this our own land, and
then presented herself before the Legislatures
of the States, demanding, in the name of God
and humanity, that the sick should not be
treated worse than the well. Had John How
ard waited until there were no "s4adows,
clouds and darkices" arouu i him—till the
many discouragements with which he at first
met had disappeared—when would England
and America have beheld the magnificent sys
tems of penitentiary discipline and juvenile re
form schools that now constitute one of the
glories of the age *Had Dorothea L. Dix paused
for a "better day," instead of bravely taking
the jeers of the wicked and the jokes of the
low, and "moving right on," when would the
United States have been able to point the
eyes of the world to the insane asylums
that now dot the landscape at the capitols of
many States, proclaiming at once to the earth
and the heavens, that though humanity is a
little lower than the state of angels, it is not
too low to do the work of angels? A monu
ment of the labors of Mrs. Dia now crowns one
of the noblest hills lookingidown on the capitol
of Pennsylvania. That work was commenced
amid derision and doubt, but ended in triumph
and gratitude.
Let us not rest so contentedly as is our wont,
In the hope of what "the good time coming"
is to accomplish. When there is work to
do, the time to set about it is now. The
period of its completion may be- far off ; but
rest assured that it will not be brought nearer
by the delusive cry of the many who bid you
"wait a little longer." The true man is ready
when the work is ready.
" He shrinks not from the difficult fight ;
No times and seasons seeks to know ;
But when convinced his cause is right,
He strikes the blow."
COST OF GENERALS.-Mr. Grimes stated in the
Senate, on Friday, that the present number of
brigadier generids in the army of the 12rni4d
States was one hundred and eighty, and twenty
major generals, and that the pay of brigadiers
was a trifle short of $4,000 per year, with an
average of $3OO for commutation of quarters,
&c., $9B for fuel, and something further for
lights, stationery, or about $1,000,000 per an
num, as the total- expenses for generals, and
that there were generals enough for an army
of seven hundred and thirty thousand men.
He asserted that our army was the largest, best
clothed, and best fed in the world. It might
have been said, too, with entire truthfulness,
that it is the healthiest army in the world.

gular fiankuess with which the Federals an

Running Slaves out of the District
Slave owners, in anticipation of the passage
of the emancipation act, are running off their
slaves as fast as they can to the lower counties
of Maryland. A number have also been sent to
Baltimore, where they are confined in "negro
pens" until they can be sold or removed further
South.
A case of this kind occurred the other day,
which exhibits thin villainous traffic in all its
horrors and deformities. On the 19th inst., a
or gro girl aged about 13 years, (an invalid) be
onging to a Mrs. Matthews, on 13th street, was
placed in jail by order of her mistress. A few days
after, the mother of the girl learning that her
daughter was confined in that filthy hole, pro
cured a piss from Marshal Lemon to enter the
jail and see her child. Upon arriving at the
jail, the mother was informed that she had
been t:: ken away about half an hour previous,
but whereto the guards could not inform ber.—
The next day the mother herself was arrested
and carried off. She had an infant child with
her, leaving two other children, one of them
three and the other two years of age, be
hind in custody of her mistress. The wherea
bouts of the mother and her two children was
not discovered until Saturday, when one of her
friends, (who claims that she is a free woman,)
accompanied by cur reporter, went on to Balti
more, and after etnsiderable difficulty round
her in B. M. & W. L. Campbell's "negro pen,"
No. 282 West Pratt street. Her friends re
quested permission to see her, but were
den ed admittance into the "pen" unless they
first obtained the written consent of her mis
tress to see her. The keeper of the "hall" in
formed her friends that the eldest child was
very sick with au affection of the throat, and
inquired what should he done for her and whe
ther she was subject to attacks of sore throat,
concluding with the heartless remark, "She
isn't worth much to anybody."
Thus are families torn asunder by the ruth
less hand of slavery, mothers parted from chil
dren of tender years, and conveyed to distant
places, perhaps never to see them again. This
is only one of numerous instances which are oc
curring now daily. Unless Congress makes haste,
before the pa.sage of the emcipation bill takes
place, there will be no slaves left in the District
to emancipate.
We have the names of a number of individu
als who are engaged in the business of running
off slaves, and shall give them publicity in a
future issue.— Washington Republic.
A letter dated Wasco county, Otegon, Jan
uary 4, 1862, to the Rochester (N. Y.,) Demo
crat, gives several interesting items of the gold
excitement and produces in that State : The
gold excitement on this coast has become in
tense. Gold has been dug on the affluents of
the upper Columbia in considerable quantities
during several years. The Nez Perce mines
were first extensively worked last season.
There was a rush to them early In the spring
from Oregon and California. Many of these
treasure-thirsting citizens. (chiefly Oregon far
mers unused to mining) on their arrival, some
before their arrival, became dispirited, pro
nounced it all a humbug, and returned, chap
fallen without raising "the color" in a pan of
dirt. Some four to five or six thousand bad in
dustry and resolution to remain and dig, and
and the "root of all evil," in its crude state,
was exhumed in luxurious abundance. Every
steamboat from Walla Walla brought down
gold in large quantities, an evidence which all
understand, of successful mining. Among so
many miners there are always many men, who,
not satisfied with doing well, extend their re
searches, to find better. Some of these, also,
were successful in finding new, extensive lo
calities, exceedingly rich in gold. The rich
ness of these newly discovered "diggings"
seem fabulous, and the reports are quite too ex
travagant for me to repeat, yet they are proved
by letters from reliable correspondents," and
some truthful returned miners. But, after
making great reduction for exaggeration of re
ports, there is satisfactory evidence that Powder
and Salmon rivers and the little streams that
flow into them are as rich as an industrious
miner ought to expect or desire. For many,
but not-for all who dig, the "golded stream,
will be quick and violent." All experience on
this coast proves, that however rich the mining
district, only a few of the whole number of
miners are successful. Perhaps nineteen out of
twenty fail of making fair wages, and one in a
hundred become rich.
Terrible Flood---Gala City Entirely De
stroyed.
Our desert country has been the scene of the
largest flood within the knowledge of the oldest
inhabitant. Oa the 221 the Colorado and Gila
rivers commenced ri•iug simultaneously. The
greater body of water coming from the Colora
do, caused the Gila to back and overflow the
whole country. Before word could be sent to
the fort, the water was four feet high and rising
rapidly..
Major Rigg immediately detailed twenty men
to render assistance to the sufferers. They
crossed the Colorado in a scow, but before they
reached the scene of destruction, Mr. Hooper's
fine adobe ware warehouse, 140 feet long, was
entirely destroyed, together with all the fine
buildings belonging to the Colorado Navigation
company. Captain George A. Johnson's ele
gant dwelling was nearly destroyed. The prin
cipal sufferers are Messrs. Hooper, Samuel Wel
les, B. F. Gage, and the Colorado Navigation
company. The loss will probably exceed
$BO,OOO.
Gila City was entirely destroyed by the flood

Ordered to be printed
Mr. Smart, (Mass.,) offered a resolution that
the committee on the conduct of the war be in
structed to collect evidence in regard to the
barbarous treatment by the rebels at Manassas
of the officers and soldiers of the United States
killed in the battle there. He said we have
been disgusted and shocked at the reported
treatment of the remains of soldiers by the re
bels. Tue skull of a brave Massachusetts officer
was made into a drinking cup fur the Georgia
rebels. It is evident that we are in conflict
with a people lower in the scale of civilization
than ourselves. He wanted a record to be
made for history.
Mr. Howsan, (Mich.,) moved to enlarge the
resolution so as to include an inquiry, whether
the rebels enlisted Indians who bad committed
unheard of Atrocities, and how the savage war
fare was conducted. If he was commanding
general he would make no prisoners of the men
who were serving side by side with the Indians.
The resolution thus amended was adopted.
Mr. HALE, (N. H.,) offered a resolution that

Messes. Nally, Gray, Dunningtou, Dent,
Adams, Spe , ke, Price, Posey and Covey, citi

with some of the regiments. The Brigadier
General commanding directs that they be per

JOHN DICKENSON, Ass't Adjt. Gen.
And whereas, By direction of Brigadier Gene
ral Daniel E. Sickles, , a report was made in re
lation to the said order of General Hooker, of
which the following is a copy
HEAD QUARTERS SECOND REGIMENT ,
Excelsior Brigade, Camp Hall,
March 27. 1882.
Lieutenant, in compliance with verbal direc
tions from Brigadier General D iniel E. Sickles,
to report as to the occurrence at this camp on
the afternoon of the 26th inst., I beg leave to
submit the following :
About thirty minutes pat three o'clock, P.
on March 26th, admission was demanded
within our lines by a party of horsemen, civi
lians numbering perhaps fifteen. They pre
sented the Livtenant commanding the guard
with an order of entrance from Brig. Gen'l.
Joseph Hooker, commanding the division, a
copy of which is appended. The order stating
that nine men should be admitted. I ordered
teat the balance of the party should remain
without the lines, which was done. Upon the
appearance of the others there was visible dis
satisfaction and considerable maneuvering
amongst the soldiers to so great an extent that
I almost feared for the safety of the slave
owners.
At this moment Gen Sickles opportunely
arrived, and instructed me to order them out
side of the camp, which I did, amidst the loud
cheers of our soldiers. It is proper to add that
before entering our lines, and when within sev
enty-five or a hundred yards of our camp, one
of their number discharged two pistol shots at
a negro who was running past them, with an
evident intention of taking his his. This justly
enraged our men—all of which is respectfully
submitted.
JOHN TOLEN,
Major commanding 2d Regiment E. B.
To J. L. PALMER, Jr., A. D. 0., and A. A. A
General.
Therefore, resolved, That the joint Senate
Committee on the Conduct of the War be re
quested to inquire whether the said order of
Gen. Hooker is not a violation of the Sth arti
cle of war, passed by Congress and approved by
the President, concerning the action of the
army in the return of fugitive slaves, and re
port such remedy us in the judgment of the
committee will prevent the issue of similar or
ders, which, while they outrage the feelings of
loyal officers and men necessarily tend to de
moralize the army.
Mr. WYCLIFFE, (Ky.,) before the reading was
completed, objected to the introduction of the
proposition.
The House then went into committee of the
whole on the state of the Union, and took up
the tax bill.
