From the recent statistics issued by tiie Census Bureau, the Atlanta Con stitution compiles the following figures of wealth and taxation in Georgia: The true value of real and personal estate in Georgia in 1850 amounted to 8J.‘i.>,425,714. The assessed value of real estate in 1870 was 8170,801,441; of personal estate was S4J8,4:>0,lt4G. 1 olal assessed value of real and jier- sonal estate in 1870, $018,232,387. The tear value of real and personal estate in l8t!0 was $045,095,237.— The assessed value of real estate in Georgia in 1870 amounted to $143,- 1148,210; show iua a <U preriatioiv w ithin flic ten years in th asse.-sed value of f i.i.8 )3,.>2 >.

Tliis vast discrepancy represents -laves, etc., and is in a measure the sum of (ieorgin’s material ki-se> by the war. The true value of na! and [lerxmal c.-tfte in < ieorgia in J8i0 was $208.109,207. Comparing this with the true value in 1800, a fall- invr "tl wit.iin the ten years of $377 - i 20,030 is shown. f Ja- total taxation in Georgia in l mio.

Governor Smith could not give the scrip to every i town that sought it, and it must oe- v.ir to you that, appropriate it as he might, he was obliged, by the rule you have laid down, to come under con demnation somewhere. We think he has acted wisely in patronizing no lo cal interest in the assignment of the fund, hut in giving it to an institution in which all the people of Georgia are interested. He has, at least, theeom- ; ored friends by levying a small tax per tpita, charging from twenty-five to seventy-five cents for the privilege of ol an older civilization upon the quiet farms of Maryland, the mighty move ments of modern energy in the mag nificent development of Missouri.

By the law of the present ne gro Legislature the people have been burthened with taxes beyond their power to pay, to enforce which a stat ute has been enacted, authorizing and requiring the county Auditors to levy on and soli lands and property for the payment of taxes for the years 1868, 1869, 1870 and 1871, amounting to some million and a quarter of dollars.

The Washington (imette says this of the action of Governor Smith in award ing the agricultural land scrip to the University: On last Saturday, Gov, Smith, by virtue of authority vested in him, en dowed tho State University at Athens, with the land scrip donated by Con gress for the organization of a “new State College of Agriculture and the Mechanic Arts.” This is, in our uj in ion, the proper and best disposition that could have been made of this fund. This endowment will place our State University upon a footing with the first Universities of tiie age, and will add at least five hundred students to the numbers already there. The LaGmnge lleporler says ; We arc glad to know that the land scrip fund lias been so appropriated-— It has been given the pro|ier direction, and will he the means of making our Stute University, which shouiJ "<• i..e never enacted by a civilized govern ment.

Rascality of Internal Reveniie'Onicials. During the debate in the United States Senate on Thursday last upon the tariff, Senator Alcorn, (Rail,) from Mississippi, gave a free expres sion to his opinion about the Federal Internal Revenue system, and more especially of the dishonesty of the offi cers of the Government who arc sent out to rake the country. The reader will lx: struck with the severe manner iu which Mr. Alcorn denounces these beasts of prey that the Administration sends to levy contributions upon the poor South. If such testimony comes from a Radical, what must have boon the provocation—how great must be the evil—that brought it out. Mr. Alcorn said: “ I speak from niy own knowledge when I say that, in my judgment, not one-tenth of the.interim r«venue tax that has been collected in North Mis sissippi since the close of the war— cotton tax and internal revenue tax of all kinds—has found its way into the Treasury of the United States. To a jieople poor as the people of Missis sippi are—for they are poor indeed— it is a continual source of irritation, complaint and annoyance, that they j my these large taxes, and yet the Gov ernment L none tho bett *r off for the payment. “ Why, sir, last year a man appoint- i ed internal revenue collector for .the i Northern district of Mississippi der I faulted for all lie collected.

From its flowers float a fragrance that fills to fulness the aromatic air, while their gorgeous garbs give a graceful glory to the green woods. The soft and silken splendors of its summer skies speak sweetly to the soul of him who is taught by the quiet beauty of nature.

There was a good attendance, most of the local and other Directors being present. After the discussion of usual routine business, the Fort Royal Railroadques- tion came up. We learn that President King was asked for information in rela tion to two things—in connection with the proposed endorsement of the bonds of the Port Royal Company, and the control of the railway. Judge Win. M. Reese, of Washington, wished to know what amount ol'taxes the Port Royal Company would have to pay to the State of South Carolina when com pleted. He believed that the people of that Suite Wire now groaning under a load of taxation, which is almost equal to confiscation, and he thought that this matter should he considered by the Georgia Railroad before taking charge of the enterprise. lion. W. W. Clarke, of Covington, said lie was informed that the bonded debt of the Port Royal Railroad was two and one-half millions of dollars. Tho Georgia Road proposed to lend its endorsement: to one million of these bonds and receive enough of the stock of the road to give it a controlling in terest in the company. Suppose that the road should not be able to pay the interest or the principal of this debt, would not the Georgia be liable as well for the million and a half of unendors ed as for th3 million of endorsed bonds ? Judge King said he would be able to give the gentlemen all the information which they needed at the Stockholders’ Convention, to be held next month. Judge Reese also wished to know if it was probable that the Port Royal Railroad would be able to pay all its running expenses aud meet the interest on its bonds—one hundred and seven ty-five thousand dollars per annum. From this it will be seen that the S sed loan of eredit encounters op- >n from some of the Directors, anil it seems probable that a stiff fight will lie made over it in*the Convention. The opinion is generally entertained, however, that the convention will give its sanction to the endorsement. —Chronicle A .Sentinel, L durirt.' busimas Hee-t*. rca.lv and anxious In do any thingm in line of business, lie will keep a few choice guo-L* for sale cheap.
