The poor man paya at Inset. on an average, ona qoerter of a dollar out of ere ry dollar ho lay* oat, beyond what he ought to pay, If tlta taxes were reduced to what they ought to to. The bond holders pay an tax, and they u*k thole bonds to be raducated in gold, vhen they paid depreeiat ed currency for theaa. The capitalist and trading politioiaoa govern the eountry, and the people are the geese?fiom them they pluck the feathers wherewith to feather their nests. The people are kept amused and misled by patriotic watch-words, and vote to sustaia every abuse without inquiry. We hardly ever hear of any concert.lag themselves about United States taxation or expenditures. So far aa the masses are con* eeraed, it seems that Congreaa might ap. , proprlate, at any time, a thousand millions j of dollars without raising a ripple rn the ( aurfaee of the popular mind. But there ia , more danger, perhaps, to the partiee now , running the Oovernmenl machine trom this | apathy and silence of the people, than there ! would be, If there Was a strong breeze of oppotltion and remonstrance all the lime It ia . the ealm that preeseda the storm, or alas it I ia the ealm of death. * Our State taxes are more easily seen and ' felt, because they are direct And aa they J are now ten lold more grievous on the poo pie than they used to be, it ia no wonder ( Ik.l ? 1 S . l-l-i 1 |i?v puu jun cyui|>wini > inaar. un ( this very account, llicra In a hope of the people reforming the administration of the Slate government; for no man,mho haa any reelect for liia own interest, will sustain high taxea when lie can wield * vote or influence to reduce them to the lowest scale neeeaeary to rust* n the Government The taxes o' the United Stales are not felt directly in many in stances, yet the)* are mote than five times heavier on the people?taken aa roses?than the Stale taxes, and yet there is no complaint. The poor men, and women, and children, of every claas, help to pay tbeee taxes in every article purehaeed for their use. The prodoete, agricultural and ether, told in Ibis Stale lest year, must have amounted to twenty mil lions dollars, snd directly or indirectly, nearly the whole of this sum has bese, or will be, expended for various texed articles, averaging at lenat thirty per cent.; at >! events, the taxra paid by the people of South Carolina to the United 8tates in the last year, must hsve reached five millions Our State tax is lees than one million ? Agitation throughout the country on the subject of taxation, retrenchment and economy, should be kept op by every friend of the people, and they should refuse their support to every public man and officeseeker, who will not eo-eperste in reforming legislation, State aad Federal, lu these matter*. Giving tbe Wrong Credit. The Abbeville Prrtt quotes a portion of the editorial correspondence of tbe Enterprit that appeared ia the Charleston Afaes, duly credited to us; but, nevertheless the Pr? gives tbe credit to tbe A'sies, by mistake of course, Tbe reason is, we suppose, that the Prett i" somewhat iu the habit of regarding tbe Char j. ..</ |>?yna, or uuicr grwi c?i j papers, as tne proper, perhaps exclusive sources of things reilitabl*. Vft suppose that the Preat ncrer read the article in the fnltrprUe, and it only became worthy of bia,attention when seen in the Charleston Xttti. The binding of a book is the tost of merit with some uMart, benea the mistake in the credit; of eonrse, we attribute nothing willful either to the Kditor or Publishers of the Prttt. There is a large class of people who ncrer appreciate any thing that comes from near home, distance lends enchantment to the riew. This Is pretty ofton the eaaa with newspapers. Years ago, when they were not ee plenty to the State of Sooth Carolina, there were two published ia adjoining districts : the larger aad more active, week after week, appeared with fall oolumna of editorial ea the political questions of the day, then vary exciting ; the articles were mech quoted ia the papers of the State and exchangee of adjoining Mates, tnt never noticed by the neighboring district peper. Ones a column of editorial was appropriated by a Georgia paper, and this was promptly copied by the neighbor, credit being give* to the Georgia press. ? ? m i i isi A Pan Acctokxt.?The Arkansas Tran. script of Jane 10th, son tolas the following paiafnl intelligence: ?

We hope there is a little ^ more practical wisdom in tha State than to alr low this railroad suicid# to be the result of all tbe railroad excltemonts. Thero U mo nooessity for occurrence of this catastrophic. Charleston Is Ihe natural outlet for the trade of the Bine Ridge Road, if timely prudence la exercised to secure it. And to present the miscbeil we hare indicated, It is only necaasnry to constrnct a road from l!i?ty-six or New Market, in Abbeville, to Ornniterille or Aiken, and thin would be all suHeieat, constituting the nearest possible and be?t route for the trade of tbe Blue Ridge Road to reach the sea. This would also, in a great measure, lesson the damage of the Ballon tap, as It would afford such a straight moto to Charleston from the West that the productsont seeking a tea port market would kave a mora desirable nud speedy transit. The Button connection would be etili important to Georgia to supply the demands of that State, bfit all our State Interests wnoid realise the full benefits of the Blue Ridge by the extension of a Railroad from tbe proper point on the Greenville and Columbia Railroad in Abbeville to Aiken r other point on the Sooth Can Una i Railroad. Our belief is that three eoDuiderations will operate on tbn minds of the people I of this State, who take an interest in such matters. We trust that tone prominent gen' tleuen of Chnrleaton, and tbe ptthlie journals of the City, always so ready to defend her inter eats and that or tho State, will pay the attention to these things that they deserve. We , shell see whether Charleston will, aftergeUiag tbe big elephant aeiosa tbe mountains,endeavor to prevent him diseberging the eonteats of his trunk upon tbe Georgia side, upoo Angaria and Savvannah and not Into her own mart.
