Our First Page. gAF- Upon our first page will be found an " Act to raise supplies for the ycar commencing Oct. 1854," which must prove of interest to all who pay teries; and also a very inte. resting and' instructive extract from P'UTNAM4' last entitled "Was NAPOLE eN a Dictator? IM~r. Soule ad Cuba. The country has been taken by surprise by the rapid change in our diplomatic relations wi'h Spain. Without any heralding of the move ment Mr. SOULE retires and immedi. ately his successor is nominated and approved of by the Senate. The change has been announced by the press as indicating the abandonment or postponement of our designs upon Cuba. We-hope this will prove to be the case. Under present auspices the acquisition of Cuba would not be ad vantageous: even peaceful negotiation is, we think, detrimental to us. The political world is in a perturbed state: -Every great power, in Europe, A--" and South America, and Mexi. co on our own Northern Hemisphere, is embroiled in war or revolution, or threatened with one or the other of those calamities. Such is an appro. priate time for piratical attacks (we see that the occasion is seized upon along the coasts of China) but a na tion which desires no blot upon its his. tory should choose another time fur accomplishing designs which the whole world will say were fur its own ag grandizement. The imputation would be cast upon us that we chose such a time to falhl upon a wveak and totterinig dynasty and wrest from it its a.irest possession, knowing that all the ener - gies of the powers 'that would have rallied to its aid are exerted elsewhere. Europe is jealous of our territorial -aggrandizement. It may be qjuiescent while we confine our expansive powers to our own continent; but whent wc would stretch out our arms beyond the solid earth and establish ourselves where we would command the Wes tern waters also, we cannot expect charity from our transatlantic friends. No generous desire to rescue that beautiful island from misgovernment and oppression will be attributed to 7us; but we would be stigmiatised as despoilers. And our own consciences us could say that the Black Warrior difficulty would have assumed such - magnitude, if we had not loniged for Cuba? And so with the long list of insults and injuries which pressed * heavily upon President Pierce's mind, when he penned his excited message to Congress upon that subject. Cuba, Spain's-we have forborne unitil for * bearance ceases to be magnanimity; Cuba, ours-and we have no quarrel withihe Grandee kingdom.-We dis. * like the proceedures of our govern ment upon this matter. If our object is to obtain reparation for injuries, let us li ft up clean hands in our appeals for justice-yield up Cuba to her own ers; show them that we are willing they should possess what belongs to them, and that they must equally re epeot our rights: or, if Ctuba be the ~real object and end of all the diplom. soy, let us avow it, and give up to oh havion the other causes of ill feeling. "Either course would be moure manly than what would be charged upon us -*as. a hypocritical trumping of claims ~or reparation, intended, not to obtain .redress, but to cover our designs, anid ~1timidate a weak, disordered govern nient Into submission to them. h,,jatever may have been our past alI'Ilotions, let our acts for the future be worthy of a nation of freemen; be u~aebnslble when Impure motivcs may be cha-ged upon us. We fegf- t at Mr. SoULr,'s mission has weakened our moral- strength: not that aught dishonoratle or urichivalrous can be charged upon hifn personally; but in his inissin have been united the two purposes which we have attempted to show shoild be severed widely from each other. Distrust and suspicion awaited him, and attended all his so journ in Europe. [He has advanced neither of the designs of his employ. ers. Our difficulties are unsettled and we are as far as ever from the isle we covet. How could it have been otherwise ? Could our longings after Spanish Cuba have a moral efi'ect upon Spain and bring her back repent ant to the path of justice? or was angry bickering a politic prelude to a negotiation which was to transfer the brightest jewel in the Spani-sh Crown to the star spangled banner of a hos tile transatlantic republic? The whole procedure has been a blunder, as the event has proved. And we think it fortunale that it has so resulted-we mean as to the acqusition of Cuba. If that important island ever be comes ours, let the transfer be made at a time when it cannot be said that we are covering over real designs; or that, openly avowing our purposes, we are ungenerously pressing them upon a weak defenceless government, so critically circumstanced that it has only the option, to sell or lose. And as one of its future possessors, (for we think the Fates so will it) we desire to have no disturbance of our conscience, caused by the remem brance of how we gained it. We hope that, with Mr. SOULE's mission,bas ended present effort to pur chase Cuba: that Mr. BaECKENRIDOE will pressent, himself at the Spanish Court as unconnected with such a scheme; and therefore, umembarassed by the hostile prejudices which fettered Mr. SOULE, he will be able to bring about an amicable adjustment. of our past differences with that power. which first discovered this Western %% orld, and its last possession in which it should be permitied to retain until Providence shall c->nfer it upon anoth er-that other of course being our. ANNEXATION.-Ainericau citizens, if they have felt interest in the political movements of their country and de. sired to understand them, must, of late, have been stimulated to geogra phical study. Cuba, St. Domingo, and the Sandwich Islands, are familiar remembrances; but various little earth spots, rich in guano, some where in the Pacific Ocean, have also been mentioned lately, as likely to be an. nexed. Our knowledge of the world we live in has-not kept pace wvit.h the alleged movements of the Govern mecnt. We would be sadly puzzled if wve were called upon for information as to the pobition, climate, inhabitants, productions, &c, of some of these future States. The soil is most likely a virgin one ; the inhabitants good for food ; the productions remarkable eggsamples of what Sea fowvls can do when left to themselves ; the climate fresh and healthful las endless Sea breezes can render it ; and the position any where, where such an island can be found,-WVhat tasks Govermnent has imposed upon itself! The care internal and external, of our vast country reciprocity, treaties with En gland, Black Warrior-, and Cuba neg ot iati ons with Spain, commrercial fraternization with Japan and St. D~omingo, afliliatiom? with the Sand wich Islands anid the -mole Pacific, anid the general recgulation ol Cent ral A mericn. It would seem as if all tims were too much to do well, and it would also seem as if Government hatd found this out, as a late account asserts that the President has reversed his policy upon the subject of annexation and will abandon all his schemes. \Vould not this be prudent? With all the immense yield of gold in California, she has not sent back enough of the precious metal to repay the older States, for the wealth they have trants. ferred to her. One hundred and eighty millions of dollars is the debt still standing .against her, and to that amount ai'e the old States the poorer now for her annexation. Ilow much more irmmediate injury has been caused by the impulse given to spec tilation and excessive trading, by the unsettling influence upon ever-y one, of the discovery of almost fatmulous treasu res, causing d issatisfaction wvit h sober business anmd common toil and unfitting for our tame avocations many wvho might be industrious, active and enterprising-how much of our ment al, moral and pecuniary wealth we may have thus lent out, or invested, we cannot estimate; but wve; feel assured of this, that, in the pr-esenit condition and prospect of the money market, w'ocannot afford in extend our lnans to Cuba and St. Domingo and the Saradwich Islands ad various sea bird localities in the Pacific, until Califor nia has repaid us and put our capital back into our pockets. We were once enthusiastic about Cuba and longed to add her to the power and wealth of the South. We were certain that she would be a great acquisition. But time and a little observation have somewhat modified our views. We would not be Americans if we did not wish for more territory ; nor South. erners if we did not desire an increase of our sectional influence; but we are not so impatient of delay as once. Capital is too much needed here now to open a new drain for it thitherwards; we have not so many good citizens that we can yet spare enough of them to Americanize Cebat, and we are not yet certain that she would not slide orom Southern interests into the ranks of our Northern friends. When the right time for it comes, we are willing that the experiment should be tried ; but we think we should wait for indi. cations prognostic of more happy consequences than would. we think, now result from it. And in this con nection we are referring to peaceful annexation. Torn and convulsed as the world is now with wars, we would deprecate seriously a war with Spaini to gain a much richer prize than Cuba. Excited as our whole country is get. ting to be upon the Native American question, it would be ludicrous in the extreme for us to cultivate misunder. standings with France and England merely to add bread fruit to our staple products and swell our lists of citizens with some hundreds of thou sauds red boned yahoos from the Sandwich Islands. And embarassed as the country is in monetary matters it would be decidedly objec.onable for the President to lavish, in purc.asing unproductive property and pensioning copper colored royal fanil'es, millions that are needed to prevent bankruptcy at home. There is a time for all things, but we are of opinion that the present is no time for further annext. Lion. Tie laiaser. We call the attention of our readers and especially of those who have been some what disposed to complain at a seeming lack of attention. to the typo. graphical appearance of the Banner this week. It is a specimen, in thii respect, of what we shall do for the future. We have been at no little expense and trouble to have our Press thor oughly repaired and everything about our oflice remodeled, and have made arrangements which will procure the services and attentio i of a gcntleman thoroughly acquainted with the busi. ness, and every way qualilled to get out as neat a sheet as any in the State; all wu ask is encouragement of~ a substantial kind and a fair trial to please and we abltl give you hence forth a paper asia paper ought to be. Ilarnnay Fenl College. We have received a pamphlet set ting forth the condition and prospects of the above institution and contain ing a catalogueo of the students. From it we learn thnt there are somec eighty pupils connected with the school anmd that every thing bids fair to make this one of the largest and most flonr ishing inustituiitions of the kinad in our State. We wish it, as it deserves. every success. IlmGu Pariies.-At a sale in this Dis trici, a few days ago, negroes brought high prices. We heard of two boys, one fifteen and the other eighteen years old, who sold respectively for $1,100 and $l,l50. We see too, in the Charleston pape~rs, where a gang of ninety three, in which there were two old negroes, who sold for firty dollars each ; two others who sold for $140 each, anid seventeen negroes averaged $399. This specie of property cannot, have fallen mnucha. H~oi. L. M. KEiTT.-This talented young Congressman has been adding newt laurels to his already extended reputation as a debater and orator. His last wvas a gainast the "Know Nothings," an~i is spo ken of as a miasterly eff'ort. Lady Murray, an English lady of rank, and Maid.of.haonor to the Queen, is said to have remarked, that she had heard all of the distinguished orators wvho have illus trated the British Parliament dluring the last, twenty years, but she hans never heard so much of eloquence ats fell from the lips of the young Carolinian upon rhis occasion. We anticipate giving an extract froma his speech in our next. A despatch frain Washington states that M r. Soule's resignation as U. 8. Minister at Madrid has beeni received, and the lion John C. Breckenridgo of Lexington, Ky., appointed his successor. Georg W. de'e~ ealhy Chica go hanker, who has been on trial in that city, on the charge of causing the death of his wife, by poison, has been convicted of "murder in the first degree." A motion, however. was made for a now trial. ken. le has despatched full particulara to Washington. The assault Was made on the 18th of November, but informatidti of the fact was not allowed to leave Boga ta till after the revolution of the 9th De cember. The pews in Rev. Dr. Adams' Madison Square, Presbyterian Church, New York, were sold at auction on Wednesday last. The sale was quite spirited, and many of the pnws brought large premiums. There were about fty-five sold at auction, the aggregate premium on which amounted to 845,000. Several more were after. wards sold at private sale, at their par value. One pew brought 81,657-being 27 1-2 per cent premium on the par value of the pew, which was 81,300. The New Orleans Delta 9th, says Mr. W. J. Smith aged 40 years, a native of S9outh Carolina, about noon yesterday comnnitted suicide, by shooting himself with a pistol, the muzzle of which he placed in his mouth, and blew hi. brains out. 51r. Smith was a well known and highly respectable merchant in this com. munity having been for years engaged in the cotton ,rokerage business. 'T'le Bank of Albany has declared an extraordinary dividend of 50 per cent. on its capital, in stock, to its stockholders, who have unanimously concluded to ac cept the dividend in this form. 'This raises the capital of the Bank from $240. 000 to 8300,000, and gives to each pos sessor of ten shares, five in addition, and so on in proportion. The Minnesota Pioneer says two speci mens of the American; ostrich, thale and female, were recently killed near Fort des Alointes, Iowa. They are described as be ing four feet and a half long, and five it height, with bills six inches long, straight and very sharp. They resemble in most points the ostrich of Africa. One thous and dollars has been of'ered for them. Town TAxES.-Upon this subject we have long since had a word or two to say to the good people of our town, and as there can be no more suitable opportunity of doing so than the present moment,just after the insta!!ment of the newly elcc:ad town officers, and before the "Ordinance to raise supplies for the -year 1855'' has been promulgated,we shall say them now. The subject of Town Taxes is one in which many of our readers are deeply in. terested, and one, the burden of which, ?ce citizens would like to see as equally borne as possible. The rich should bear the bur den in proportion to the advantages they de. rivefrom the incorporation, and the poor should not be made to pay more than their just proportion. This, all must admit, is the end to be aimed at in levying taxes, hut how is it to be obtained ! Not, surely, by taxing ONLY, or extravagantly, the ne. cessaries of life, as inst ance the house and serrants of a man. There recesanry arti cles of life ever, resident must have, how ever limited his meatns ; but they do not coistitutte all, nor the hailfor the intorests of our citizens which are tenefited Iy the incsrporation, and upon which the taxes raised are cx1:ended. It is not right then, thtat these items should, as they have been doing, pay the bulk of the taxes. It is true, every :nan should pay se-e thing for having his family protected, and his house and lot gttarded against fire tand injury bty the town guard, and this he does do with us, to som, extent, by con. tributing his personal services as his quo' ta towards the town guard ; anti he should pay somtething, too, for having the value of his property increased by the improve' ments made, in the appearance and con' veniences of the town, by tihe town Coun. cil. But how is the bulk of the monuey rai' sed by town taxes expended!i For the pro tection of the families, or tihe improve' ment of the real estates of thte residents I Not directly, exclusively, or to any very gpeat extent. But upon keeping up the streets, keeping them clean, and preserv ing order in the town. Now, wit does all thtis bentefit? Trhe owner of real estate tmore than any other class ? Not so-but while it benefits all classes, it benefits most those who aire most interested itn hay' ing thte roads to and frotn town, and the s' reets, kept in good travelling condition; the merchanuts frst, and after them, all whto use thetm itn followinig their business, anid for their cnnvenienco atnd pleasure. ''Thero are owners of real estate in our town who have failies to support by their daily labors, who never use your streets or your roads, and who care very little about their condition, a foot path be. ing all they use or desire for thotmselves, and yet, under our former tax bills, they were obltged to pay more taxes, or as mouch, as the merchant, the phtysician, or the public carrier, who is making his thou sands a year, and is directly itnterested ini having te avenues to market kept in goodi order. This ought not to be thte case. Tax high, if necessary, thte conraeniences and luxuries o)f life, but spare as tmuch as even-handed justice will admtit, the poor ma n' s necessaries. We suggest, therefore, for the conside ration of all, atnd particularly for the Cout cil, thtat all classes should be made to pay itn proportion to thte advantages they de rives from the expenditure of the mnonies ramsed by taxutmon. Let a tax of so mnany per cent be levied, (if it can be done unde. the act of incorporation.) upon the anmount of sale, made by the merchants and lay a tax upon all vehicles and horses (which belong to resuidentts,) using oui streets in their accustomed employment attd lesson in a proper proportion the taa upon real estate, and we shall advance one step further towards attaining this end, amt towards equml taxation.

Several dwelling houses have recently been entered in Colhmbia by burglars, and Ihese occurrences are said to take place every night. They have however made but little by their operations so far. Recent explorations in the Maryland roal district in Pennsylvania, have discov ered the existence of a mineral which, it is said, cannot do otherwise than add ten fold to its wealth. The nature of this mi neral, its peculiar locality and the extent of its deposits, is at present a secret. The Columbia Times is informed by a telegraphic dispatch from Mobile, that a subscription is on foot among the slave andl colored population generally, to raise funds to aid the suffering poor of the Northern and Eastern cities. Another attempt was made on Friday morning last, abont 4 or 5 o'clock, at Laur. ens C. H, to destroy by fire the store of Mr. S.
