JHost Emportant Letter from the Commis loner of Internal Reverme?Debt and Taxes of the United States Compared -will,, (hosonf EngUnd-Kqunllzatlon of Bounties. Tho Sccrotary of tho Troasury, in a letter to Bou. D. A. Wells, Chairman of the United Statoa Hevenuo Commission, Btates that tho bill reported in CongrcsB for tho equalization of .bounties will ' rcnuiro an expenditure of threo hnadrod million dollars, thui requiring an additional annual pay ment for interoBt of Bonie oighteon milUona dol lars and askB, "what effect this proposed in croaso of tho national dobt and annual taxation is likely, in your opinion, to havo upon tho finances and development of the country, and what changes may bo nocessitatod thereby in our future revenue system and polioy." Mr. ' Wells replies : Washington, April 23, lBC^ Bin: In reply to your note of the 19th, relative to the Bubjeot of appropriations involving addi tional loans or increased taxationj ' permit mo to fjponV without reserve. Tho country is now passing through a critical period of its financial experience, and it seems essential that tho proposition should be proclaim ed and maintained, that tho borrowing period for the nation has passed; and that henceforth, and until another extraordinary emergency arises, tho national expenditures are to be mot by tax ation exclusively. Nothing less can satisfy tho holders of the publio debt; nothing loss can sus tain national .oredlt at such a standard as will keep open to the nation the resource of loans for futuro emergencies. Tho oxistiug.publio debt of the United Sta'.os {.taking accumulated woalth and rato of intercut into consideration) is now comparatively largor than that or any of the States of the Old World, and is only oxceoded in actual amount, by that of Greet Britain; It is now proposed to increase this enormous debt to such an extent that the annual Interest on the addition will bo nearly equal to one-fourth of tho averago annual ox ? enditare? of the whole Government during the ecade prior to the commencement of the re bellion. The largest amount of revenue ever drawn from tho British neo ule in any one year?irrespootivo of losnB?has never exceeded threo hundred and eoventy millions dollars, while tho amount of revenue which the United Spates has drawn dur ing tho first three quarters' of tho carrent fiscal year?by the various forms of direct and indirect taxation?has been four hundred and ten millions, or at the rato of upwards of fivo hundred and forty millions per annum. This immense sum,.in oppobition to tho settled policy of all other na tions, aud in defiance of their experience, has been taken mainly from the industry of the country. The present large roceipts of revenue cannot, however, be accepted an any Bure indications of the future; aud so long as they are drawn mainly from taxes on industry thoy are no satisfactory in dications of the prosperity of the country. For the next fiscal year, moreover, a large falling off in receipt?, arising from diminished importations, ?hangen in values and quantities of industrial pro ducts, and from other causes, may be expected. This deficit oannot now be easily estimated, but that it be large oannot be doubted, especially if the country, as nowseema probable, is to be visit ed by pestilence. It would soem as If tho mero statement of theso fact? ought to sutficeas an argument against any immediate inoroaso of our enormous burden of debt and taxation. If, howover. we further consider the manner and distribution of the taxation by which the nation is at present raising its revenues, tho ar gument becomes even more cogent and unan swerable. Ae is well known, the exemption from taxation at present in the United State? of any form of ca pital, or any procesa or result of industry, is the exception rather than the rule. This system ne cessarily involves a most extensive duplication of taxes, and this in turn entails and maintains an undue enhancement of prices; a decrease both of production and consumption, and consequently of wealth; a restriction of exportations and of foreign commerce; and a large increase in the machinery and expense of the revenue collection. Jt needs no gift of prophecy or trained financial intellect to determine the result ot a persistency in auoh a polioy; for nations, like individuals, have limits to their resources; and nations, like individual?, may havo their patriotism even taxod beyond their endurance. A reduction and equalisation of national to. ? ?. tlon has therefore become not merely expedient but imperative. Ciroumstancos will not, however, admit of a reduction sufficient to give all the re lief demanded by the nation being made at once. Hitherto, as has been already stated, a very large tiortiou of tho revenue has been derived from the axes on industry, or the oapital which directly supports industry, and comparatively small part from ?pirita, tobacco, liquors, legacies and buc cesaions, and other sources, which all experience has demonstrated may be taxed moat heavily without? in any way arresting the progress of national development. Indeed, it may be assert ed that laws aumoiont to insure tho oolleation of any large revenue from theao latter sources have not yot been enaotod?the existing laws being in many respects inoperative upon tho statute book. Until, therefore, new |a.ws can bo enaotod. and Iheir efflelonoy proved by expor??nc?, many o'f the worst features of the present revenue system must be rotained and endured. In order to at present raise by taxation a sum snfiioierit to pay an annual interest of six per cent, on an addition of two hundred and fifty mil lions to the principal of the publio debt, viz., fif teen millions, the present rate of taxation must be maintained on the following articles, or their equivalents, the receipts for the fiscal year 1865 being assumed as the basis of tho estimate : Hats, caps, bonnets, coats, voats, pants, over coats, shirts, collars, Blocking?*, gloves, mittens, boots, shoeB, moccasins, Bait, cheap soap, starch, paints of all kinds, paper of all descriptions, cooks, magazines, pamphlets, maps, engravings, and all printed -matter',* ploughs, harrows, cultiva tor;*, rakes, winnowing mills, hay and straw cut ters, trunks, harnesses, lime, cements, building etones, bricks, stoves, pottery ware, and window glass, the revenue from the direct tax on all these articles for the fiscal year ending June 30, 18G5, not having buen ju excess of fifteen millions of dollars. If, howover, it is urged that the Government can Afford to relieve alt the above enumerated articles, and many others, from taxation, and still pay the interest on the proposed addition to the debt, I reply that tho condition of the revenue will not at present allow of an exemption of all the necessities of life and nil tho common forms of industry from taxation ; and th it no principle of political economy is better established than that a tax upon one of the necessities or indispensable forma of industry is in fact a tax upon all. "* Under the above circumstances, thorefore, it would seem as if nothing but the salvation of the nation itself could warrant any immediato in crease of the national liabilities or the people';? taxes. - r ? ? Tee "Powiutan" Estate.?The Mobile Register, noticing the sale of Mr. Robert May rs seat near Bichmond, known as "Powhatan," says: ... It excites sad thoughts. The beautiful estate referred to?more pr??perly known as "P.twhatan Beat"- jiiKt below Richmond, has been in p-ps-tes tsion of tho M ?y o family for wo kuow n??t h'?w many genorathuis, and has always been tho abode of a liberal, ruined, and cordial hospitality, The tradition about Oapt. ?smith is justly char acterized as "dubious," although a large stone I-* shown in tho yard, on which the English adven turer's head is supposed t havo been laid when he was rescued by the Virginia princess. It. Is scarcely possible, according to Smith's narrative, that the incident onuld have occurred on that par ticular spot. There is little or no doubt, however, that it was one of tho placuB of residence of Kin*; Powhatan, aud h less "dubious" tradition maltes it the pi.uro of his sepulture. "Powhatan Seat" only ahareB the fate of many othor fine old ?outhoru j estate. In' passing' ,ipto the hands of strangers but' those who have en joyed the large-hearted hospitality of Its former owners will read the above announcement with more thai) ordinary em?itions. ?The m?morisa) of many a vanished hour will longTinger among it? airy halls, its shkdy walks, its, grassy lawns, Its Une old trees, and its enchanting views of tho noble river that winds thr.ugb the valley bolow. - ... /- ; " A young Prussian officer lately died whose heart Was on his right side, with the L'.vor on the left, ami other internal organs correspondingly ro Tersota.

(Wis.) Democrat, gives tho following iloath bod scene, which ho wae called to witness in hie re cent vi-it to Chicago : Tho Rev. Henry Clrinnanl, an ex-array chaplain who loft off expounding Bible? and recruiting for tho Saviour, and by indorsing tho nigger and abo lit ioniats became an army chaplain in ono of tho Wisconsin regiment h, passed from lifo to a home beyond a blessed immortality, the 01 h or day. A physician had called on him two or three times a day for a month, doctoring him for an aguo brought on while stealing cotton in Arkan sas while with O en. Ourtis. On learning that tho ex-minister and ox-ohaplain would hardly live tie? night out, we called with the physician. In a little wooden looking room not over twelve feet Bquare, in an obscure boarding house iu Cltioago wo found tho invalid. The room was baro of furniture except a poor bed, a little dirty wash stand, two wood-bottom chairs, an old trunk, a pine table, on which was aproad a newspaper on which lay an old Bible, a pair of old snuffers, some pill boxee and such stuff. The dying man was propped up in bod, while a faithful uegro woman sat on the foot of the bod. As wo entered, ho raised a littlo and aeked the doctor who he bad brought with him. On being told he sank back, closed his oyes?rallied a little and aaid : "Perhaps it is as will. Ho might as well know it aa any ono." And he proceeded to mako his dying statement, which wae in these words, as we took them in our memorandum book as tho physician requested : "My namo in Henry Glannard; I am forty-one years old. I am a Methodist minister?at least I was one. I was once happy and contented, aud loved Christ, my Master, with all the zeal a Chris tian overbad. At last I grow cold iu religion, selfish and onviouB of the good fortunes of other a, I wantod to make money aud to have some fuu, so I thought I would be a Bepublican politician. I began by preaching polities from the pulpit, and praying for tho negro. It paid me in money, but I lost influence at the Throno of Ora SO. But JftUd not care for that, if I oould only have inlluenco with tho Republican party. I forgot Christ and became interested in the negro. I had influence with a fow mombers -of my church, and talked politics to them. I was paid by oflice-seekors to lufluouco Chriatlans. "I found politics paid better fan religion, and I worked for tho chaplaincy of a rogimeut and got it. Then I let religion go and went to war. Thoro I vfrote letters home denouncing Democrats as copperheads. And I stole cotton, and silver ware, and pictures, and books, and dresses for my wife and aiBters, and horses and mnlt-s for my brothers, and a piano for the Governor who gave me my commission, and a gold watch for my captain, anil a Jut, of household furniture to Bend to my colonel. And I robbod tho soldiers of BtulT sont down to them to use while in hospital, and I had my share of goods stolon from the sanitary fairs, and made lots of money. "But I was not happy. I drank whiskey with the hoys when away from home, and indulged in excesses not worth ; mentioning, and laid up quite a pile of money. And I was taken sick whits out stealing cotton from a plantation whoro a, widow ludv lived. I had coaxed her niggers to run away, and they are all dead now. When tho war was ended I came home to Wisconsin, but could not stay thoro. 80 I came to Chicago. Aud I grew sick. And I have got to dio. I have called on Christ?I havo prayed to God, but somehow I cannot get relief for my mol. The door of mercy seems shut against- me. I forsook religion for politics, and now God has forsaken me. I pray to my Saviour, but ho don't hear me. I talk to this faithful negro woman?she says, 'Yes, massai' and that is all I can get out of her. I know I oan'tlivo long. I feel that I am dying. I feel certain that I am going to hell. I want these things written down as a warning to others who forget Christ for politics. I foel that the uegro can't save?that Christ won't Bave mo. I was un faithful to my religion aud am forgotten. I was faithful to the neero; but, alas I the negro cant help the where I want help; he can't caso my I guilty so?l. I am going to hell, and I know it, I expect to meet many persons there who-forgot re ligion for politics. I do not expect-*to see you again in this world or the next, but I want this confession printed." And thus died the .Rev. Henry Clannard 1 - a ?a-! An Important Decision. The Richmond Whig calls attention to the fol lowing important decision, and givea its views in relation to it: It has been generally supposed that legal in struments were not valid' unless they have the prescribed revenue stamps upon them. But Judge Hoar, of the 8upreme Court of Massachusetts, one of the most eminent - jurists ia this country, has decided that this is -hot the case. The New Bedford Mercury says: "In a case before the Supreme Judicial Court, in Tauuton, the question of the validity of a deed t-> which no revenue etamp.was aiTixod wasiraised. Judge Hoar unhesi tatingly decided that the absence of tho stamp does not invalidate' the deed. Ho questioned whether CongresB so intended in framing the in ternal revenue law,* but was clear iu the opinion that a statute of the United States undertaking to invalidate an insirumeut which by the lairs of .be State is valid,' whnld be unconstitutional. The Government may exact a penalty for failure to af fix a stamp, but.canuot make void the instrument for tho lack 00 the stamp." .?rjeupr??ciCJ.fi??n?(?]7C"?8 knalagousto thatde ciaod ?'y the UpitedS-tatea Supreme Court in the 0%se ot tbo -".?s?achuaelts liquor Bellers. They Contended that they were empoweied to carry on their traffic in' violation of State law, by virtue of paying a Federal tax. Whereas the Federal Gov ernment lias no right and does not presume to override Stite law and grant licenses, ont, finding a biiBincBHi prosecuted, it exorcises the power of taxing that business. So in the oaee of a written instrument authorized by a State. The Federal Government possesses no constitutional right to interfere?'with its validity, but finding it in exis tence it ?may exercise the power of taxing that existence. ..j.j. -M-? The .Bureau Denounced by. Bennett.?The H*rald;'at Thursday, saya : Our- correspondence from all parts of the South ern country continues to furnish us with illustra tions In regard to the workings of tho Freedmen's Bureau anything hut. creditable to thatradical In? Btitp?on. This Bureau, from all the intelligence we can glean, appears to bo nothing moro nor less than? a revival of the odious inter-State slave sys tem, and the huge monopoly by Government em E lot-sea of the profits arising therefrom. It is ate in I to both white h and blacks; to the former for the reason that it maintains a military tyranny .which is a sourco of continual irritation to all par ties, and acconplisheB nothing beneficial in the way of pacification and harmony; and it is detest ed by the blacks because la reviv.es slavery in its most offensive form?namely, the transfer of no gro families from State to State, and every remove 'Another step beyond civilization. The mission (?that Gen. Bteedman has undertaken, to ascertain the true stato of things iu the South, is ouc of 'great importance, and its results will be looked forward to with groat anxiety. [Gen. Stbedman is said to have formed an opin ion decidedly unfavorable to the Bureau ] ... a ? a Successful Editor.?An English writer says what is very trae, that "a good editor, a compe tent nowepipcr conductor, is like a general or a poet, born, not made. Exercise and experience givo facility, but the qualification is innate, or it is never manifested. On tho London daily papers all the great historians, novelists,'poets, essay ists, and the writers of travels, havo boon tried, and nearly every one failed. 'I can,' said tho late editor of the London Times, 'find any number of men of gonius to write for me, but very seldom one man of common sonso.' Nearly all successful editors tire of this description. A good editor seldom writes much for hie paper no read-?, judges, sole?te, dict?t oh, alters, and combinen, and to dp all thia well ho has but littlo timo for composition. To wrlto for a paper is one thing?to edit a paper another." '-.?? s ?
