In Coin gress'he isentirely beyond his depth, and, if not watched, he will' inflict in calculable injury upon the it is a lamentable fact that the Aboltion Pdtty in thb lower houie of Congress, has. ibis fierce anti blood-thirsty, fanatic for a leader—a man having nothing to reofomtnend him to the position he holds, save his ferocious hatred of the people of a portion of his country. But, we aregiid to see that he is about to find his level; as soon as Congress gets through with talking and legislating about the South afid slavery, and begins the consideration of. practical legisla tion,: we Will see some other great men suddenly he’cdme as ‘barren of resources as.ijais 4lr. Stevens. The weight that so suddenly pulled Mr. Stevens down, was the bill which he Introduced a fewdays ago iu the House, regulating the value of gold. It waaaoabanrjl, and so transparently in jurlous, that it was immediately tabled by one half 1 ofhis own party voting with the democrats against it. Biace then Mr. Stevens’financial abilities have been subjected to one of the most scath ing dissections ever bestowed upon s political charlatan. For the first few days, after the hill In question was in troduced,’the Democratic press ably ex posed its absurdities ; but now the iead ing Republican organs are equally as decided, in their condemnation of its financial quackery. The New York papers are'unanimous in their, castiga tion pf Sevens, snd some of them begin to he impressed with the that the country is in a most critical condition, requiring well balanced minds,jiQt fauaticj. to extricate it from its troubles. To our surprise and grat ification we find the influential Tribune among thfs number. Its strictures upon Stevens and the'condition of the coun try, are worthy of the most bitter Cop perhead opponent of “the government!’ in the country. After delivering a lecture to Mr. S’.e yens upon' the-'eleiujqtary.principles of finance, the Tribune remarks as follows, and we desire our readers to mark its admissions, especially those contained in the last paragraph qnoted : n^WA ogor< * ft® APjO’Mf fc'lnaace I Certainly . but how arolcf it when our states* men ana financial authorities have not vet nwu. abUltlM of Mr. Stovem, we ray that ao act ol congrew declaring a jpaperdollar the equlva leot of a gold dollar, b a traoaparent aod mla chlevouaabaurdity.

Wi ll keresignation under great affliction, and hate unnecessary resentment after a defeat; hut the Chairman of our Central Committee is,we think,slightly too phi losophic to conduct n great political campaign, with any prospect of success Instead of fearing danger from defeat, he is armed against all that may happen , he reminds us of the banished Duke, who found “Tongues in trees,books In the running brooks, Sermons In stones, and good in everything.” However much, in a Christian point, we may admire such resignation, wo would not think of putting it in opposi tion to the unscrupulous Cameron, the individual pitted against Mr. Ward in the late contest. fidtfTho Attorney General of this State has furnished the Governor with a written opinion in reference to the I case of Hon.

After all their cheating and swearing not to get to Con gress is too bad. In reply to an inquiry, the Rural Nru iorker says that to change dwarf peai trees to standards, plant the tree ao that I the point of union between stock and bud will be jnst at, or slightly helow. the surface; and in a sort of basin a few inches lower than the natural surface. After the tree has got well rooted, say I about the second year, draw up some earth around, and the next year more until the pear hud is covered three or four inches, and pear roots will form as the quince dies out. Those varieties that are not well adapted to the quince, I root more readily from the pear. A correspondent of the London Time* I thinks that barley is unquestionably the I I best crop with which to sow grass seed. I He says that nnder proper nourishment grasses are invariably more luxuriant with it than with oats or wheat. Uu like the oat crop, barley does not in its early stage so complelely cover the new germinated grass seeds, and thus ex- I ! elude jthe free access of air essential to j the progress of infant plants. Nor do the stems ot barley break down from over luxuriance, wind or rain, so close ly upon the ground as those of oat?, ami thus choke the grasses. During the ma turing process, too, the stems of barley, •rhich are shorter than those of other cereals, considerably shrink and bend, so as to afford to clover a free admission I ' of snn and air. 1 1 Important to “Speoial Income Tax” Payors. The Hartford, Conn., Times says it i* telegraphed from Washington that the Treasury Department decides that in as sessing a special tax on incomes of 1868 there shall be deducted from the full imonnt of income, not only the $6OO al lowed by law, bat also such as paid for house rent. Persons who have paid a special tax under a different construe tion of the law by Assessors, will be en titled to draw back. We make a note of this, as the Asses sors here have derided the house-rent exemption does not apply to incomes of 1863. Ohio and tho United States During the administration of Mr. Bu channan, says the Cincinnati Inquirer the tom! expenses of the Federal Gov ernment were about $70,000,000. This was collected from a wealthy and flour ishing nation of 30,000,000 people. The State of Ohio, with its 2,500,000 people is now paying $45,000,000 a year to the same Government. In other words this State pays two thirds of all that the na tion in time of Peace used to pay. How long can this vast sum, in addition io our $15,000,000 ot State taxes, be paid? Missouri Official The following is the official vote oi Missouri: Lincoln fi« aan McOleUan In 1860, Missouri polled 160,000 votes □ow, ouly, 84,000. At least 40,000 Dem ocrats declined to attend the polls on ac count of military interference, and prob ably 20,000 timid men -voted for _Mr. Lincoln on the same account. Not‘one voter in four in Missouri is for Lincoln, yet he obtained the vote of the State. lnterest on the Debt. The whole expenses of the late ad ministration of Mr. Buchanan were paid by custom-house duties. It now requires all that revenue, so called, to pay the iuterest on the national debt, without iPsyinu a dollar of our expenditures. The debt and the interest are yearly in creasing with frightfnl rapidity. 4 London paper says the Mormon de fusion is stealthily making inroads in the -great towns of JSngland, and diffusing it self through the agricultural districts, wherever ignorance and credulity are to be found. § QH ihe morning of the ninth instant a r fire consumed ninety, dwelling houses at Indiantowu, neari St. John, New Brans wiek.

VVe shall take an early occasion to show, hy a detail of reason, why it de yerves to rank as a chef d'oeuvre of absur dity ; hut for the present, we will mere ly submit the opinions of men whose confident condemnation should at least command for the subject a more careful investigation than could hare been giv eu it by the promoters of the tax Not to encumber our columns our authorities shall be select (we could easily make them n’umer ous,) and they shall be limited to two. But each of the two is a host - one being without contest the greatest dead and the other, by general consent the greatest living writer ommolitlcal econ omy. « Adam Smith (“Wealth of Nations ■> book V., chapter 2,) describes Ihe Span ish alcavula as “a tax upou the sale of every sort of property, whether mova ble or immovable; and it is repeated every lime the property is sold.” After describing its operation he goes on to say: “It is to the alcavala, accordingly that Ustaritz imputes the ruin of the manufactures of Spain. He might have imputed to it likewise the declension of sgriculture, it being imposed not only upon manufactures, but upon the rude produce of the land.” n llie kingdom of Naples there is a similar tax upon the value ar all con tracts, and consequently upon that of all contracts of sale. Itisfcoth lighter than the Spanish tax, and the greater part of the towns and parishes are allow ed to pay a composition [commutation! in lien of it. They levy this composi tion in what manner they please gene rally in a. way which gives no interrup tion to the Interior commerce of the place. The Neapolitan tax, therefore is not near so ruinous as the Spanish one.” The fact that this tax was generally commuted in Naples is a strongly prac tical testimony to its annoyance and in justice. But being intrinsically bad commutation only mitigated the evil’ And we are expected to pnt on these cast off old clothes of the most benight ed despotisms of Europe. When Spain (now getting prosperous) began to ad mit the improved ideas of more Height ened nations she abandoned the absnrd tax on _ sales. So long as it prevailed Spain did not possess even a bank in the modem sense of the term, so impervious Was she to sound financial ideas John Stuart Mill (“Political Econo my, book V., chap, o,) has.these re marks: “Of taxes on contracts, the most important are those on the transfer of property; chiefly on purchases and sales. Taxes on die sale ofconsumabla commodities, they raise the price of those commodities, are paid bv the I -consumer- If the attempt were made to tar all purchases and sales, which however absurd, was for centuries the law of Spain, the tax, if it could be en forced, wonld be equivalent to a tax on all commodities,"and would not affect prices: if levied from the sellers, ii would be a U* on profits; if from buy ers, a tax on consumption; ,and neither otheV” U t * t '* row *** e nr^en upon the tTntil thesubject has been discussed on its merits, (we of course, concede that authority goes for nothing against reason,) we submit that theopinions of Smith and Mill are at least a fair coun terpoise to those of such fiscal lnmina ne i as Mr. Secretary Fessenden and Mr lhaddeus Stevens. ' s w- When the cruel and narrow Duke of Alva undertook to subjugate the Nelli erlands (see Motley’s history,) there was nothing which he attempted (not even against tLeir religion) which so inflamed the opposition of the Holand- 6 e S k' s attempt to impose upon them the Spanish akamla. The Dutch of tllat ®S e were the foremost nation of the world in knowledge of commerce and finance; and they had a quick and indie nant perception of the absurdity and in justice of a tax that might be levied seven times a week on the same article subjecting its whole combined value (made up of capital and profits) to as many separate impositions as it passed through hands. In a slow agricultural country, like Bpain, where sales were few, it might be partially collected, but never in a commercial country like Holland, where the the same commodity might change hands many times in one day. The city of Antwerp submitted to have Spanish soldiers billeted in every house rather than bend its neck to so preposterous and inlqnitonsan exaction —1 he World. Escape of tha Georgia Legislators. The following is an extract from a bi ter in the Augusta Chronicle, from a writer wlio fled with the Legislature fioin Milledgeville. It shows how the Country is being devastated along the route ol tliti iuvading army. iieaving onr baggage we took a hasty dinner, determined to keep the road in Miuitson until our pickets should nolily us or tl, e approach of the Yankees. About three o’clock a scout came dash ing down the road at galloping sreed crying, “to the woodsl to the woods!" and we wooded. Waiting several horns m the rain, under a rail pen improvised lor the occasion, we determined to go out on the road and see what was going on. We had not traveled a hundred yards before a party of cerulean-clad equestrians came dashing up, and in a very polite and insinuating manner briefly requested us to hall. The request was accompanied with the most significant cooking of carbines and pistols' which, brought to a horizon tal altitude in one's front, arc very per suasive, especially to an unarmed civil ian, and we halted. Alter a brief and hurried talk, in which we were question ed very closely about the country and troops in lhe vicinity, Ac, they drove on. J VVe gathered from their actions that they were the advance guaiiofa jnrec from Madison, und were expecting to meet another force from Monticeilo at the fork near hy. Apprehending that our over coats residue of cash and other personal effects would not bo safe in the motley crew composing tin i ankee army, we resolved to keep the woods until they sbonld pass. We there fore returned to our pen and stayed until morning. We then proceeded through the woods within hearing distance 01 the load. Late on Sunday their main column commenced passing, and we found it very difficult to avoid them They swarmed through the Helds, shooting cattle and plundering indiscriminately until late in the night. We hud more dread of being shot as bush- whackers than we had id' being plundered, and nrohsbl.y should hept the road but wr now had no choice but to avoid tne.tn it possible. Their wagons were ling along the Momiceilo road on oar iHt, and on the Mudisnn road on our right. While they remained i,i the country 1 ! between we could hear them talk aud hear their caps explode as they passed within a few leet o| us. The ujghl was intensely cold and dark, save when the' distant gleam of a burning house lighted up lhe hoirznn. The main columns were passing trom about two o'clock on 1 Sunday alternoon until about nine o'clock at night. Next day they were' passing during the morning, and we tontinued in the woods. i bis wis our third day out during which time it had tamed continually, and we had subsisted on parched corn. On Tuesday morning we determined to take the road and pash on. Going to (.'rebel's place, we found his tine horse in ashes; and his gin house burned, an.l every liorae and mule gone. In his lot were about one hundred horses lying dead. They looked like good sto, k and w.-re evidently killed to deprive planters or them. A number of Credel's negroes were gone. Proceeding on, we louud every plantation on the road situi larly devastated, except that no other dwelling houses were burned, unlil we reached the fine Tartu oftheHon. Joshua Hill This is a perfect wreck. A large gin - house; ful 1 of ootton, corn cribs and dwellings, all mouldering ruins. His loss was greater than that of any planter in this section. Besides cotton, several thousand bushels of coni and potatoes several hundred bushels of wheat, and much other valuable property, with every horse and mule,and many negroes, are gone. No farm on the road to this place, and as far as, we can hear, to wards Atlanta, escaped, these brutal savages. Hoi.ljAND—l)o Sunday erentng9Ki.i.iAM Holland, la the 74th year of htaage.
