If, thei fore, any apoli gy be needed for ibis my a let it be found in, what seem s to me, the i gent importance of the subject which I wot bring to your notice. . Under our form of government the right " petition for a redress of grievances" is gu antced to all. Tue u grievance"' which ah ?form the them*-' nf this communication, is 1 recent actio:i ol the " Board of Equaliaatio The u duty" of this " Board," I suppose to r?gulateur '. equalize" the returns of pr erly throughout the State, so as tenscert the rate to be levied for taxe. Tiiissubj of taxatbn, or tba transfer of a portion the products of a. people, from their hands those of the government, is one of the m intricate and delicate in all the wide range Political Economy. How to devise a plau public reverr?r, -whic'a shall secure the e cien; administratioa of law, and at the Ba time, least embarrass the prosperity of State, is a question which has perplexed wisest statesmen in overy age and couol The essential point 'traill axation is the val VhuJi. th? mowcnCrt-4ffc?voK ?be tax paya! lost to him, and wbea,ft leaves the Band." thegovernment is lost to the world e'erna Taxation either deprives the payer of gratification be -might have in consuming product or prevents its increase ; for that p which is lost canuot produce to bim ag: The tendency of coarse, then, is to lessen stead of increase the -wealth of a people, t when pusued io an extreme, impuvcris . the individuo: without enriching a State. I tory furnishes examples of his fact. 1 object to the plau of taxation adop by this ''Board of Equalization," becausi is immoderate in its rates. From refont ; vertisc-ment of the County Treasurer of 1 County, I see the rate including County Ti is fixed at One dollar and five cents ($1,1 per hundred dellars. In the years of < highest prosperity, the rate varied from teen cent? to thirty cents per hundred dolli Now, with three-fourths of thc product capital destroyed, thousands ot the peo? bankrupt, and our labor seriously disorg: ?zed, the rate is quadrupled. Matt not t very greatly embarrass and retard n cap - tion? I'object to the pian of ?he Board I cause it d es not fall equally on ali class While the returns ol real es:ate have bo increased (JG per cent., being raided fri ^70.12? 020 to $125,181,088, the valuad ol' personal property has not b rcn augmet e.l ? Why ibis partiality towards person; ty ? Is tb re any valid reason why be who possessions consist in merchandise, bort bt"cks. Ac should pay less for the protect! and security- of hU property than ho who i veals in lar.ds and houses? It would see the part of wisdom mat ail taxes should ?j so levied as to do ihe least possib'e injury production. Then land, constituting as docs, an essential natural agent in thc pr ductiou of prime necessitie?, should ii' be heavily trammeled with burdeus of tax; lion. j. object to the precut system of taxatio becauiO.it discriminates m favor of thc negr race.

And win they who enjoy almost absolute immunit from taxation have, at the tame time', th autbority to impo-e taxes, (as*i> now the ct: - in S; utb Carolin;!), then danger is added ti illegality. Surely harmony and stability ar imperilled ia an)- government whose law makers hr.ve no sense of responsibility-ni community of interest willi those for whoa they legislate-their cupidity, and greed, ant vengeful tempers being the sole measure o their reckless extravagance. u They niaki heat'y burden; and grievious to he borne, anti bind iLcm upon men's shoulders, but thc\ ..viii not move them with o::e of their fingers.' 1 i nject io the '"Board of Equalization,' because its very existence entails upon th? Treasury of the Slate an additional, audi will say, a useless expense. 1 have not seer the Act authorizing tho '. Board," and de fining its powers and privileges, but I pre sume its services arc not gratuitous. 'lae valuation of all taxable property was made by Assessors, who were paid "thre< dollars per day for their services (?) and now, poor lc!iows ! atc to be snubbed by having their labors supervised, and the result set aside by a "Board," not one of whom, in al; probability, has ever visited one-half the Counties ol the State ! Again, th? action of this " Beard cf Equal ization." ?3 se?f-stultification. Their right to occupy this position must not be calleif in question in this agc of " liberty."' To this, then. I i:a-.c no objection to urge. But I do earnestly object to the low estimate placed upon the intelligence of our people, by an act having the solemn sanction ot law and authority. An attempt is made to hood wink nar people into the belief, that their tax3s ure lessened by increasing the estimated value o! their property, and decreasing tue ratio ol taxation in a corresponding degree. For ex ample, this Bjard" weald teach that it is easier to pay laxes on twenty thousand dol lars, at the rate of fifty cents for every one hundred dollars, than to pay on tea thousand dollars at the rate of one dollar fer every one hundred dollar--. Let me say to thc '' Board" thit their *. little g..me" will not succeed well. 1 be great miss of the tax-pavers whatever may be said of the vote;?-possess T? nur ^oii'-it'n/rt-nW**-UTTrtTrO*- trrr MI JCO ^?1 tisis shameful trickery. Why, thc veri st juggler would scorn such a sickly effort at ''slight of hand." Verily, th? cap-stone is :iow laid upon the monument of definitions reared on the phrase 11 height of impudence." Sucn arithmetical manipulations may flatter the vanity of tho " aboddyites" (of whom I rejoice to believe we have but few) who are always charmed wi'h the edu.' which even the appearance cf wealth may bring; but all right minded persons mu3t turn away with loathing and di-gust. and the blush of chame tinge the cheek of all who have a jealous regard for tho good name of the State. Shade of Hamilton, brood over these " finan ciers" ! It will not escape the notice of the careful observer that wLilo the Acts o?" Appropriation expressly limit the amount to be raided for taxes to $1,0.00,000, the rate levied by this " Board," (three fourths of one per cent) on the total taxable property ($464.022,342) will yield the sum of $>1,230.1G7,?G. The tax payers have a right to know what dispo sition is lo be made of this surplus. I enter a solemn proten against the con- '. duct of this u Board," because it is a virtual \ arraignment of the people of South Carolina upon r. charge " of perjury. All returns to Assessors were by law, required to be rr.?de on oath. Plainly, then, this increased valua tion is a declaration of false-swearing. The people of this County (Chester) are told that they M do things by. knives." ' The weight of ! the offence falls upon th"! poor people of j1 Orangeburg who, it is al'djed have told but one-fourth thc filth In no County have the ! people given "the truth, the whole truth" '. and against the State is made the "lumping" ; specification, that, like Ananias and Sapphira, - it ".kept, back part of the price." Thus ha? it been reserved for ibis " Board of Euuali- ' zatlon" to solve a problem in craneal Jaw J for which Edmund Burke con fess?*! himself ! incomp?tent wLcnhe declared^' 0 do not know how an indictment ca? be framed I against a whole peuple." To suui up. Jill j systems of taxation should be "such us are j most favorable to the formal iou of a healthy national morality. Whether this can be ac complished by a scheme which is excessive iu its ratio ; which is unequally di?tribut??l j which hinders production ; which discrimi nates in favor of an inferior race ; which frees from responsibility those who levy taxes : which is needlessly expensive ; which out- j rages good sense an 1 aims to commend itself i j by a resort to trickery : which transcends its I i self-appointed boundaries, ai.d finally charges I ? the tax-payer with a base crime. I shall not : I here argue :-to (lo so were a gross insult to j j your iutelligeuce. It may be said that the people of South : Carolina, having engaged ia 11 rebellion"' have I merited all these evils as proper punishment, j Are they still to be held as enemies ? or is it : by further injuries and oppressions they are ! to be won back? Ge; eral Graut and the j Boston .lulu lee say, " Let us have peace."' i How is il to be obtaiued ? j ? Io tho times of.the Roman Republic one j of the States revolted against the national j authority, but was compelled to ackuowledge I its allegiance. When the question of "re construction'" came before the Senate, there were tbo>e who clamored for confiscation, death or banishment of the leaders and op pressors rf the people. (See how history repeats itself!) A noble Roman Senator who had drawn bis sword against the refractory State said, "Treat the people as citiz.-His !n; To yon, sir, as the li loyal" Governor of South Carolina, is commended thc'example of this so c died u heathen." Af thc exponent of the party now coot rolling thc State, you are urged to u<e all the power and influence o? your oAicial position, for thc repeal ol this iniquitous i measure. Let the cross be lifted speedily I from thc shoulders of the people. Let them j no longer feel that they are strangers and aliens, in thc land of tht ir birth. Show them that confidence is reposed in their honor and integrity. Convince them that the power of the.Government is not to be used as an en pine of oppression and humiliation, but di rected toward their protection and happiness, and that their substance is not to bo wrung from them by exorbitant taxes. Let ihe axe be laid into the root of the tree of corrup tion and plunder which has struck its ro >ts deep into the vitals of our polity and, con fessedly, grows with luxuriance in ,: high place?." Theo may the animosities engen dered by the precut abnormal condition be healed, and al! our heart-divisions cured.

"We know something of Mr. Richard Realf, and hasten to introduce him to our readers. Englishman, indeed, he is ; but it was on th? sacred soil of the Old Dominion, and in prom inent connection with one of the most excit ing events in the annals of that renowned commonwealth, that bc first became known to fame. !? is now more than ten years since ?ihe country was startled by the tidings that Old John Brown, with a few desperate fol lowers, had made himself master of tho Unit- i ed States armory at Harper's Ferry and madly raised the standard of servile revolt. Had the blow thus yo boldly struck been fol lowed by tho chain of anticipated results, it was Brown's dream of power to have estab lished a great Black Republic, of which he himself was to be at once the creator and the dictator. Realf, at that time thc shrewdest and mostactiveaswell astheyoungestmember of Brown's gang, had bi en formally 6?nglcd out as the Secretary of State, in the organiza tion of the prince-ted government. We all know bow the crazy sehemo was throttled' at its birth ; bow the ungrateful blacks failed to rally at the call of'their Quixotio deliverer ; and how, after a fair trial before U'?ury ol Virginians, the miserable old fanatic, who perhaps v?s less guilty than most of bis fel lows, expiated big and their crime upon the gibbet. Realf. who was believed by many to have been the ruling spirit ofthe raid, was cunning enough to. escape ali serious conse quences. Of his subs?quent career little is known ; but thc versatility of his genius aud his irrepressible i m pud euee seem everywhere to have served bim in good stead. We bear of him now as a hero hobnobbing with the Abolitionists of the North ; no? as a non commissioned officer in the United State ar my at Fort Pic-kens ; now as an office-seeker bashfully urging his '.-launs us a loyalist and a soldier at Washington : and lastly as an As .?essor of tho Internal Revenue in the good old District of Edgefield, South Carolina. The days ol chivalry indeed are gone, since Richard Realf. while the soul of bi3 gaunt and grisly chief is still " marching on" in tri 'umph, abandons thc quest of glory for the quest of greenbacks.-Charleston News. . THE ADVERTISER. EDGEFIELD, S. C., JULY 7, 18G?. Banks, Sumner, Sickles, The Cuba Question. BANKS incessantly tiroes thc President tn re cognize Cuban belligerency, while S CM.VE a inces santly cautions bim against a proceeding, which would, as ho believes, .justify tho course which was taken by thc Jirithh Government in relation to tho Confederate States. Thus far, it would seem that the counsels of ScuxER p"rcv.ail ; for it is announced that Geni.'SICKLES, tho new Mims tor to Spain, is instructed to assuro tho Spanish Covernincnt of tao intention of tho United Stu'es to maintain the strictest neutrality is regard to her domestic troubles, while he will recommend a compliance by Spain with the wishes pf thc Cu ban1;, if they dosire independence. This is as it should bc. Thorovolution in Cuba bas been going on now fur eight or nine months, and in ?ill that t i trio tho leaders of it have loo!;ed to tho United States for their most substantial succor in men and materials. Tho fact that they h ivo received both has not been concealed from tho put-lie. Ever, buforc tho actual shipment of ' these recruits, the evidence of such design waa so apparent that it-was clearly the duly of'loni.

It matters not if the sympathy of this country, or of tho President, ines attaeh to the Cuban pa triots. These patriots have the warmest sympa thy. It is a pure i?uc;tiun of law and of good faith to a power towards whom wo entertain friendly relations, and to whom we ate bound by I'M: obligation of solemn treaties. To fail in this duty is to fij in the faco of tho policy alway? observed by this country and exacted from Others. It is to render null al! tho indignation hurled against England for her acts iu the late war; for when-sifted down to fact, England did nothing half as reprehensible as this sileneo of (tuner.il Crant. When the war broke out ?he issued her neutrality proclamation, und the Queen never couceded belligerent rights lo thc South until it bad been done by thc Federal U o vern meat itself. In fact England was scrupulous in observing the demands of international duty; and even tho fitti7.g out of thc Alabama, nfter belligerent rights had been conceded, and of which such loud cou pluiiit is now made, was done against the urders of tiie English ('ovcrnment, and only by nu eva sion of its vigilance. Thc tacit acquiescence of thc United States Government thu? far in tho aid given to the Cuban revolutionists has been a re proach to her good faith ; and although, ie: wc have often remarked, we ol' tho South have but little to do with the Government, and are syste matically discouraged from feeling pride or inter est in it, yet it is nevertheless n matter of con gratulation licit tiie President has determined to act willi that consistency which becomes the Ex ecutive of a great nation. - . ? % - Oiil Virginia About to bc Restored?

July Otb, IS??). i JJditur Advertiser:-My attention Ins just (J?ce'n directed to an article published in the. Char- ; "fij&?on N't w?, of Siiturday last, which, copying! your notice cf my appointment as Azs'L Asse i.r of Internal Revenue for this Comity, proceeds Lo , relato ina vory mraglod, distorted, and malignant way, certain incidents in my previous career. I have ?ol yet soon the article in question, and oan therefore speak only generally na to its alle gations ; which I understand to be 1st, That in thc John Brown insurrection of j 1359, I held thc position of Secretary of State under his " so-called" Provisional Government. 2d, That, whilst I set in motion the machinery of the said insurrection, I kept myself aloof from ?any active participation in it, using other men as tools for the accomplishment of my purposes, but shrinking froai thc dangers which those purposes involved. i 3d, That, during t*ho Lite war, I served in thc [.?'niou Army as a Non-Commissioned officer, and was attached to tho forces operating in Florida. .Uh, That I have subsequently been a plueo liunler at Washington City, and that my impor tunities have at last procured for mc my present appointment in South Carolina. I understand these to bo tho points mndc against mo ; and sinco, whether I retain my Assessors'.: ip ^Tiiot, I proposo to mako my home in your State, ' I bog you to do mc the justice to hoar me in my ' own cause. # First, then, I had no connection, direct or indi rect, with thc Harpers' Ferry insurrection of. 1859. My earliest acquaintance with JohrrBrown l^lrfgUi in Kr ns (if, in 1S5C. In-l&ii. h c. br joched " to certain young mon, myself included, tao sub ject which he afterwards prosecuted to so disas trous a termination. In tho spring of 1S?S he took certain initial steps in thc matter, but in tho summer of that year, by reason of the failure of hi3 co-operative agencies, tho further pursuit of the business was indefinitely postponed. In July 1S6S I went to Europo, nnd I nevor afterwords saw, or held communication with, cither Jobu Brown or any of his party. In 1859 I returned to tho United States, and at tho period of the insurrection I wus in Texas, where I was arrostcd shortly afterwnrd and taken nuder guard to Wash ington. At Washington I was set free; and it may perhaps bo recollected that James Bedpat'n, in his "Life of Brown,'"-laboring under tho er roneous impression that _Southeru Deraocrr ?efaco to allude to m rms. (A letter from myj Cook, (ono ( lie New Yo lo the Nc !?n?ain?d I fou ed by, ron " sold out" to tl.o thc honor, in lits complimentary other of John .) published 1SG0, nod month, matter. 1 ULM Ul jv....a Cl A'lOllU.I. .11 Jr Duwil JKI iuu vi service was in thc Army of tho Cumberland, du ring, which I passed through every grade from the private soldier to thc'Staff oSicor, and partici pating in every battle, sk'rrnii-h and movement incident to thc operations of that' Army. I I havo not been in Washington for nearly four years ; nor have I held any correspondence with perions residing there, during that length ol' U'inc. It is true that should I tee fit to do so, I ?hall hardly solicit thc pera.?.-sion of thc New*/ ' ^hfflit is nevertheless a fact-incredible ns it. may Be'em-that I am a Republican without being a toady or a tuft-hunter. In January of this present year, thc Washing ton Correspondent of thc Worcester Spy, in an article entitled "Reminiscences of John Brown's Men," quoted certain stanzas from a poem of mino which ha l recently found its way into the Pensacola (Fin.) Obicrver, and added his belief -.thtrt I was then a non-commiscioned officer in tho Regular Army, serving in Florida^ and il was from this source, I take it, that tho Charleston New? derived its impression. As soou as lbw ar ticle was brought to my attention, I immediately corrected it ; stating that I was a resident of New York City : and if you will take thc trouble to look up a January file of the New York Time?, -you will observe that in my card 1 useifthis lan guage : " With years and experience have como patience ?nd charity ; and while I have lost nothing of my young belief in the ultimate triumph of hu manity . vcr ignorance, superstition, o?ste and privilege, 1 h ive learno 1 that (for myself at least) thejnoblest work in which I can engage is to re sist anil put down whatever tendencies impair my full ability to bc a man, willra healthy soul, conscious of rights and duties, owning i'.s gifts, and valuing above everything else the liberty to, place its happiness in being noble and true. Thoroughly convinced that the reformation of thc world-thc rfstitulion of things to reality-is,' not to bc accomplished by hammering and tinker ing on the outside of systems and societies, I prefer henceforth to work on spiritual essentials, beginning with my own nature." This is the, spirit which animates and in forms me now. Having been an earnest, nnd nuoni promising opponent of the Snnth during;^ trar, una having witnesiod tho triumph of those prin Oiples which wero dear and precious to ?ne, I have now no other aim nor ambition than to labor for the inauguration "f that era of fraternal har mony which thc potts and prophets have foreseen anti sung :-wherein each man's good shall bs ail men's rule.
