M 1 I | HIGH TAXIS. 1 By secession sympathize!®. and the*" nigpardty selfish atnong ns, "ruinon* . taxation," i* the great cry, and haa | i*cn ao often repeated, that, to the" pa- 1 triotlc, loyal public, those words hare become a sound of abhorrence. No nation on earth has been so signally favoied with low taxes as. onrs, at least until the present war broke out. And what now increases our taxes so enormously ? The answer is plain : It is to maintain a government, under which we hneu hitherto been so highly faror, cd, not only in the way of taxation, hot In every other respect. But If our tpxes arc so high, what mnst they he . in the rebel states ? A tax bill, recently before the Rebel Con- i « gross, or which the following is the Grst and principal section, will, in some measure, answer : That on the Grst day of January 1 883 there shall be le*isd and assessed on each person resident in the Confederate States, for tho support or tho Government and the defence or the country the following tax7 to pit : One V1 filth the value of all the wheat, corn. Ticc. rye, oats, potato*. hemp, flax, , peas, beans, barley, h y, wool, rosin, tar, pilch, tnr'pwutine, cotton, sugar inulosa:* and ttbacco, produced by him in those Slates during the previont calender year ; and olso one fifth of the value of the increasqjor tho preceding year of the horses,- asses, cattle, sheep j and swine ; and, also,' one-fi&h or each person's jtarly income for tho preceding calender year, from nil sources whatsoever, except from the sources hereinbefore decribed, and exevpt from the interest op. Confedt»alc bonds, certificates. or Treasury notes ; Provided, That said Tax *o levied and assessed aliail be doe and payable on the 1st day of April. 1863; Provided further. That foreigners resident within the Confid crate Stales shall not be^reqnired to pay, except from tlie aforesaid articles produced by or for tbbin, or from incomes or profits derived fiom lysines* conducted by Uteip within those nor .hull any tax bu levied upon the pro--r- - i

ducts of residents where the tntol value of such products, during aaid year, is | less than $600 ; nor ahull uuy tux tie i levied upon the irtcome of residence, ; where the total value of inch income is j less than $600. , After reading the above, let no one, , who styles himself a Union man and a patriot, complain of high riaxes, when lie reflects that It is to maintain the best ] off governments that snch taxes arc necessary, and that to, break down llie'j same government the rebel citizens willsubmit to snrh taxation as they oecestarty must, and such aa is indicated by j the above •? j It should be remembered that the above is only an income tax, and dora not include their usual tax on real es j tale and personal property. Think of j ft, northern tax-payer j suppose that to i your usnal taxes is added two hnndred dollars on every tbonsand dollars income of yoor business. Suppose that the , farmer, who raises $600 worth of produce, had to turn over $120 of it to the j Government in addition to his usual tnxes Suppose that the hotel keeper, , whose income ia $5000 per annum, is * required to pay $1000 of that as a trTb- 1 ule to the Governroeut. Were auch the | rase, we aboul l not so moch wonder at a little wincing; and especially if it ' were for so wicked a purpose as breaking up a noble government. Capt. P.jG- Young, a returned prisoner from rebeldom, bus arrived in Washingten. and gives a good account •I the treatment of the Union prisoners there. He aays the sew Merrimac is I wot yet finished. ^ fty The English papers male various j romtufM* oo the recent battles in Mary- I Unit.

CFfAMBKBSBDBG SUBfipTDE Sfe D . b PKOPERTT DESTKOXTUTX_ ' « j TllK REBELS JES^SfpR j ' j Paring the past few dnji-jre have ! j had some of the most startling and nxir- : | ! tifying intelligence of the war. The j • accounts given are lengthy, and some- 1; what confuspd ; but, from a careful pe- ' I rusal, we are able th gather the main ; features, which we think are reliable. j On Friday last, a liody of Stuart's i j rebel cavalry, number of which if j , variously estimated ; probably from 2,- j600 to 3.000, crowed the Potomac at Hancock, where the river is hut a shdrt.i I distance froin the Pennsylvania line, and entirely atyore McCiellan's army ; j daahcu into Pennsylvania, to Mercets- : burg, nnd alienee to Chambprsbu^ j where they arrived early ic the evening, j and sent a deputation info the town with a flog of trace, calling for seme of tbe priucipol citizens. Col. MrCfnre : , j and Prbvost Marshal Kimmell were ' . ! sent to meet them; and the town, being | . • "entirely defenceless, waa surrendered, as ' ►Twdilanee would be useless and foolish. ' . ThVy cut Abe leUgrhph wirc.^ On their , I way they seized the horses if tho far- ■ : mora. in their stables, offering* oonfeder3 ate scrip in return. At Ohatuhershurg ' j they seized u large amount oi army : ' clothing belonging to the Government, hut took very little private property, , I except at one store, where they seized r hpo)s, shoes Ac. The next morning, they, set fire to. L> end destroyed the buildiiigs connected » with the Cumberland Valley and FrankIt : lin Railroads, including a warehouse, II i amounting to some $200,<|00 " ' The military stores captured by our s ' cavalry who cut their way out of liarn per's Ferry, before its surrender by Col. r* j Miles, were stored in lhji»> warehouse. j Tbe rebels noT lieing able to carry tlicm 1 j away, blew them up! The concussion ,t j of lbs explosion waa terrific, and was I heard tor miles around. 0 1 At about 7 o'clock on Saturday J. j morning, the rebels left Cliambersburg;^ : taking-* southerly anil easterly course r ; ; through" Maryland. in the rear of Mc ; Clellan's army, and within abont* thirty V.IOIHII s inni, wiu WIVHIII iuuiii iiiir-jr ;

j miles of Baltimore ; and finally, it is ! " | believed, re crossed the Potodtac, either i ,j at Point of Rocks or Nolond's. Ferry, sanie^iftci-ti or twenty miles bt-lo w liar- c i per'a Ferry. Their whole march, from h crossing tho Potomac to recrossing it, v ; was probably about 10(? miles, which a ; they performed in, probably, so far as ll i^ known, about 36 hours, including ® ! stoppage ovef night, or about hours ! j ir. motion, in which they made a complete j. i • circuit srottnd McCiellan's nlmy, without i ] meeting with any resistance. They had u with them six or eight pieces of light j v artillery. They ore said to have taken 11 i i away from 500 to 1000 horses. They i " i ' interfered with no person. i ^ This raid is, altogether, a most lingo- i r | Inr afTwir, uneqnoDvd, probably, in the j i history of warfare ; and we can but k I think that somebody is greatly remiss, 1 i thongh we know not where to rest the : bUme. One thing appears to of evi- <1 . dent ; that '.he Pennsylvania militia * I I were too soon disbanded, but for which ' I { it would never happened. The object r , |<-f the raid is all conjecture ; probably, ^ < however, to "spy ont the land." r . i There was a rumor ui Philadelphia, 9 1 last Monday, that the Kate had been < I I invaded by 30,000 rebels which caused 1 t ; considerable excitement; hut later ' ■ official reports contradict the report.
