On the opening of the WlBl Military Court on the 8th hut., a communication from the prisoner was road, asking the privilege of being allowed to receive the visits, for spiritual consolation, of two Catholic clergymen, formerly chaplains at Ander aonvillc. The matter was referred to the War Department. The important feature of tho pro ccedings was the reading of rebel documents, showing the horrible treatment the Union Boldiera received at Andcrsonvillc, which was inflicted with the knowledge of the Richmond authorities. OOV. SHAIIKEY AND OEN. 8LOCUJI. In referenco to Gen. Slocom's order putting a atop to the organization, by Provisional Govornor IS ii ah key , of Mississippi, of the State militia, a letter written to the lattar ofheial by President John son is published this morning. In this document the President expresses his belief that there can he but litII?' danger to tho national authority in the formation of this militia, and thinks that tho movement is a proper one. He says that tho pco ple must be trusted with their government, and his opinion is that if they are trusted thoy will act in good faith. He also says that the main object til Gen. Scuunz's mission to the South was to aid in carrying out tho Government's policy for the restoration of the Southern States to their proper position in the Union. The correspondence be tween Gov. Sharkey and Secretary Sewabd, ac companying tho remittance by tho former of the Amended Constitution of Mississippi, and ordi nances adopted by the State Convention, and the acknowledgment of their receipt by tho Secretary, is made public. Richmond correspondents confidently reassert their former statement that President Johnson, accompanied by tho members of his Cabinet and several military officers of distinction, will shortly visit that city and other portions of tho South, and .that ho will preside at an important council in tho iate Capital of the rebel Confodoraoy.

Late news from South and Central America had .reached Now York by the steamship Costa Rica. She brought nearly ?, million of dollars in .specie. The accounts of the civil war in Peru appear ex tremely favorablo for Iho revolutionists. Their lle<?t had entered the harbor of Callao, and Ihey i wore awaiting ?i rpply from President Viy/avc to their demand for its surrender, before eoinmcue ing su attack on the town.

The, white Boldiors in Kentucky aro to be shortly mustered out of service. 'Iho ten regiments of colored troops, serving in the State, have been organized by General Palmer into one division, to tho command of which General Jas. H. Brismn has been assigned.

I'hi\id<iphiii Press.] There i.s n doscriptitn of taxation in England which, in a manner, is molly unknown hon?. We j are as vain, us n peuple, |t< ?my upon the in?:?' of tin- earth, but their is ii^ i?iliviilual vanity from which wo in nearly fine. Tito gentleman who was offered a pinch ?if snliiV. ?mil responded, in ?i dignified manner, thai li?; hid no small -ficen, mimt have liml American blood "n bin veins. Wo, an a people, imvc no small viiui?-s, tluum!? it may bo alleged Hint wo deal in the article, t-rnolcaak*. ? As every one knows, nlinit tme-tbird of Hi?*1 whole British rovonne in pbtaincd by Uutation iovicd through tbo custom boose. That third amounts, in ?.ach roar, to almut 893,000,000, ami i? roalised from u Vow principal imports, chiefly <>r migar, tea, tobacco, win??, spirila, coffee and corn. The internal roTOnuo ariaon from stamps, excise, hind and assessed taxes, pbatage and the property tax. They aro not so uttoriyjmean a?rons the water as to tax lucifer matelios, pins and needle?, thread and cotton, and mich necessary tritios in ordinary use; butthuyiax superfluities? and particularly auch a?, adimniutor tu the poriMpal vanity of those who enjoy them. For instance, any one scaling a lut ter with hin crcat ?ir full armorial bearings, must pay $4 a year, and $11 if ho ia chargeable with the? duty of asnease?! taxes for nny carriage. Where thcro ia a carriage there must tic a servant to look after it?perhaps another to mind tho horse <?r horses. Now, aa people can generally dispense with carriages anil tliinT-ics, it is right that each should pay for liis particular vanity; therefore the duty is $5*u your upon evory male servant over 18 years old, and huff that for malo servants under that age, or lor undcr-gardonors, or as undor gamc keepers. If a servant be of tho ol?l school and wear powder on his head, there is an extra tax of $5 each man. This, yielded $5000 last year. The duty upon carriages varies, according to size and grandeur, from $J, when drawn byapony not exceeding thirteen hunda in height) to a"full grown carriage, drawn by two or more horses. If a person, wishing to play tho lauded gentleman and sportsman, desires to shoot grouse, partrid ges, or pheasants, at the appointed season.?, lie must not pull a trigger until lie has lirst ''stepped up to the captain's olliee," and taken out a game license. Tho price of this is SIS a year, and if lie has a keeper, S10 extra must be paid for him. {"hooting is not much good without a setter or re triever, and the annual tax upon each dog used in the pursuit of gamo is $_.. If a man keeps grey hounds, the tax is $-15; and if he keeps a pack ?if hounds he may have to pty $197. Shooting und hunting are luxuries (us well a? vanities, hi very many cases), and tlmse who indulge in them must "nay for their whistle," as sngaciousFranklin siiid. There cannot he bunting without horses, and tin ?lealers in tliem must take out an annual lleuneo, costing $127 in London, and half ti:at amount in the country. Tho ani:iia.la themselves, a?> often kept for show ami from mora ostentation, ?lo not pass Bcofc-fren. If a man keeps a fast horse, the public revenue benefits by his pride <?r vanity, according to the creature'., rank m equine aristocracy. For a pony, 11.50 per annum; for the same, if kept for riding, or drawing a carriage chargeable with duty. $2.50; for a horse over thirteen bands high, $'2.r>0; for a horse of the same height, kept for ruling or car riage use. $5.50; anil for every horse kept or used for racing, $20. A parliamentary return of ?he proceeds of the British financial year ending March, lsii.., shows how these various subjects of taxation contribute to the revenue. It is not worth while to go into I details, hut We may say that, in tho.ycura lMfri-'t??. the sum ?if $837,900 ivas derived from armorial hearings; $l,O5(J,220 from servants; $1,051.515 from dogs, and 1301,830 from the duty on gold ami sil ver plate. We add, for the information of the cu rious in such matters, that, within the same finan cial year the national revenue of England was benefited by tho tax on uninhabited lioiisea to the extent of $4,..H4,(S01; by probates on wills, admin istrations, legacies and successions (on which tin re is no local impost whatever), $17,2.5,770; by the stamp on bills of exchange, $;.,84C,?i45; ami by the penny stamp on receipts, drafts, Ac, $2,501,* 250. However, theso last items arc digression al. What we wanted to show was, that English taxa tion is baaed upon two simple principles, namely: to lean heaviest upon luxuries, superfluities and vanities, and, as far as practicable, mit to lean at all upon mere necessaries. Tho last do not yield much, but their collection is cumbrous as well as costly, and they irritate the minds of the masses, who cliiefly have to pay tbo taxos upon them. The rich are tbo proper objects for taxation, and tbo less wealthy classes ought to be dealt lightly with. A clerk or small tradesman will be taxed if l?e wear a watch to show him how timo passes; but a mil lionaire expends large sums on paintings, statues, bronzes, rieb carvings, stained glass, marqueterie, bijouterie and articles of vertu, and is taxed very lightly indeed, comparison being fairly made, for the gratification of his taste- which may bo real, but ia just as likely to be only ostentatious. When our system of internai taxation is remod elled (it is likely to be permnnont, and therefore ought to be just), let us hopo that rich men and poor men will not bo taxed alike. The necessaries of life should be free of taxation, as far as prac tical; tho superfluities, on tbo other hand, and, above all, the can ?ties, should bo dealt strongly with. Of this there cannot bo any doubt, except in tho minds of tho wealthy, who ought to be Bqueczed for the benefit of the l.opublic and for the reliof of their poorer and humbler and strug gling fellow-citizens.
