We nmlerstand that Mr. Cohen, one of tbe delegates from ibis city to tbe Conveniiun, delivered a speech iu opposition to the repu diation of tbe tvar debt of tbe State, remark -B'jle for powerful, dignified «Dd convincimr argument, which produced a marked effect upon tue tniads of many of tbe advo cates of tho repudiation policy. AVe regret exceedingly that we are not in jk-sb ssfon of tiie many speeches that have been made, doubtless, tn tbe Convention upon tins important question, that we might present our readers with a synopsis of the argument edv iro and pro and con, which would be both Interesting aud instructive. Whilst we might, and doubtless would, approve the reasons advanced by those op posed to repudiation as an abstract proposi tion unaffected by extrinsic considerations of snore Importance praododly titan the merits of tbe proposition itself, wo incline to tbe opinion that repudiation of ‘.be War debt of Georgia Is a measure, however distasteful in ito significance to a high toned and sensi tive mind, that should bo accepted by tbe Convention and people as one of the ouly expedients >y which tbe great object for which tbe Convention was created can be acheived, to-wit: The restoration of tbe State to her former position in- the Federal Felon. It has been correctly said that tbe State occupies tbe position of a conquered na tion. Slate Government and State Sovereignty are in abeyance, and will bo so held, until we adopt a government and policy accept able to the conquerors. A. refusal to accede tp these conditions would oniy result in a prolongation of tbe time dutiug which we shall bo deptlved of a civil government of our own choice, and continue subject to military rule. We can only be extricated from this pain ful and humiliating condition by tho action ol tbe President, who may issue bis procla mation restoring tbe State at aoy time when be may be satisfied that resistance to the government has ceased. One of the conditions precedent to such fC'doD, however, is, “that every dollar of tho Stale debt created to aid tbe rebellion ogaiust tbe United States should be repu diated, finally and forever.” HU language is imperative, denoting clearly bis determi - nation not to declare tbe rebellion at an end until this, with other conditions, are fully complied with by tbe sovereign authority of tbe seceding States, respectively. If our people desire immediate restoration to tbe Union, and a withdrawal of tbe armies and ail military authority, and to become again a sovereign State, in the enjoyment of tho same rights, privileges and immunities that were enjoyed before tbe actofseoersinn, the Convention will act wisely and intelli gently by heeding the friendly admonition of tbe President to repudiate the war debt. Any casuistical argument or pathetic ap peal in behalf of tho integrity of the State or the rights of creditors, are inapposite and powerless in the face of stern realities that operate to prevent us from acting of our own free will. Pressed by the relentless force of revolutionary events, we have abolished slavery, declared tho act of secession a nul lity, and we must perform tbe other act re quired of us, for on this depends our future relations to tbe National Union. We sought to separate ourselves from tbe Union, and failed. The General Government will not now, therefore, reinstate us iu our old posi tion until we satisfy that government by more than mere words that our hostility is at an end. Such, then, being the fact, let os go for ward cheerful y in the discharge of political duty oa the line marked out by President Johnson, in whom we all have confidence, and look to for deliverance in the hour ot trial. DJitSI!i»S AT SKA. ARC RAILROAD ACCIDENTS. It has been frequently mads a subject of remark by foreigners that Americans evince a reo’ilfctsnaaa of human life that would be difficult to explain did we not know that one of the peculiarities of the American charac tet is the economy of time. fact iu the least doubtful we havo only to turn ever a few p ges of our history to find its tul) confirma lou in the number of disasters oy sea, and accidents on railroads, which of iate, have occupied the papers. For the lat ter au explanation, but no apology can be found in the avarice of the Northern Com panies, winch have neglected t 0 supply their roads with new iron, in place of the decay of that which has done its duty, and, perhaps, tn the insufficiency of the remuneration thev give their employees. The Southern Co m panlea need no plea of this kind from the want of material to repair their roads and their bad usage by the enemy.

THE NATION At* PI * ASCII -TAXATION. It will be among the earliest duties of Con gress, when it assembles, to adjust our scheme of taxation. Our entire fiscal sys tem will, pel baps, need revision. .Many of tbe present taxes were iraposul during the precipitation Incident to war. Disciimiua tions have been neglected which ought to have been made, and there is an evident want of symmetry in tho toheme both of direct and indirect taxation. Asagemral iaci Indirect taxation is the most popular system in democratic States, for which we Imagine two reasons may be assigned. 1. The inquisitorial character of duect taxation. 3. Direct taxes are the more inexpensive in tbe collection. On a comparison, however, of the advantages and disadvantages of the respective systems, we conceive that they are nearly equal in their effects. Eogiand, which of al European nations lies the largest experience in taxation, has adopted a mixed system, partly direct and partly indirect. Statesmen have been much divided In opinion on the subject. The great line of separation h&6 bom between the advocates of free trade and tho friends of protection. Very recently one of the former, ot the ultra free trade school, endeavored iu the House of Commons to obtain a oommitteo o» inquiry, with tbe view of effecting a change, substituting direct taxation, in lieu of the present British system. Iu this he found few supporters. Systems of taxatiou are, in fact, intimately connecied with the character of the government by which they are insti tuted. The European continental natious have adopted various modes qf taxation that would be repugnant to the free institutions ot Great Britain and tho United States. The corvee was adopted at a period iu French history, during which the principles of taxa tion were imperfectly underatoon, but it con tinues to form one of the principal sources of municipal revenue. In the most enlight ened of European countries this branch ot their domestic policy has been regardless of some of the leading maxims of Dr. Smith.— That omioent master of the science enunciates four maxims that have been almost univer sally adopted. 1. The subjects of every State ought to con tribute towards the support of tho gov ernment as nearly as possible in proportion to their respective abilities ; that is in pro portion to the revenue which they respec tively enjoy under the protection of the State. 3. The tax which each individual is bound to pay ought to be certain aud not arbitrary. Tho time of payment, the manner of pay ment, tho quantity to be paid, ought all to lie plain and clear to the contributors, aud to every other person. 3. Every tax ought to be levied at tbe time, or in tho manner most likely to be oonvenlont tor the contributor to pay it. 4. Every tax ought to be so contrived as both to tako out and keep out of the pockets of the people as little us possible over and above what it brings in the public treasury. To commence with direct taxes it has been supposed that Direct taxes or taxes laid on property or income, or both would have the advantage of corresponding butter wltb tbe tir.t of Smith's maxims than any other de scription of taxes by making individuals contribute to tho wants of the State proper- tlonallvno the revenue which they enjoy un der its protection, and so no doubt would ou tbo effect, were it possible to assets them fairly. But the obstacles in the way of their fair aud equal assessment arc such as never can bu overcome ; and the truth is that taxes oa cither income or property, however theo retically equal, are practically the most un equal that can be imagined. We may get a pretty accurate notion of the income de rived from lands, houses, funded property and mortgages; but all beyond is mere guess work. There are no means by which to ascertain tbe amount of farming capital, stock iu trade, the profits derived from them, or tho incomes of professional men. No in- quisition into the private affairs of indivii I unis cun ever discover these particulars. There is nothing, in tact, to depeud upon in such cases but tbe declarations of parties ; and wo need not dwell on the impolicy of any system of tiunnee that sets tbe duty and the interests ot the contributors in opposition, and makes them profit by concealing or per verting the truth. Besides although, these preliminary and insuperable difficulties were overcome, and we learned the capital aud Incomes of different parties, we should have other and greater difficulties to surmouut before the tax could be fairly assessed. The same deduction should not be made from incomes derived from sources that are not' equally lasting. To assess them on a just principle, the prescut value ofdiffircnt in comes, or their value reduced to a perpe tuity, would have, in tire first place, to be determined. But it may be unhesitatingly affirmed that to do this upon a large scale would be quite impracticable. It is clear, therefore, that taxes on income or property should not be introduced, except as a der nier resort, as a means of filling the coffers of the treasury when other aud more legit iuate sources of revenue are insufficient, and when, us in the lata war, money must be had at ail hazards. Indirect Texet have been tbe most popular In every part of the world. The burden is palpable and obvious. It admits of no spe- cies ol disguise or concealment, but makes every one fully sensible of the exact amount of income taken fiom him by government, instead of exciting the prejudices of theit Citizens or subjects, by o|>culy demanding v specific portion of their incomes, they have taxed the articles on which these incomes ore usually expended. This ingenious plan couc. nls the amount of taxatiou, aud makes its payment appear in some measure volun tary. The lax being generally paid in the (first inatauce by tbe produoer, tbe puioba “ers confound it with tbe price of the ar ticle. Such taxes have also the advantage 01 being paid by degrees in small portions, and at the time when the commodities are warned, aud when it ia most eouveulent for 1 r c j > .

Ti e policy of instituting one mode of taxation raluci Lmu another wi I depend on a v.-uiety of ciiciimstancva. Ail taxation is an evil, and must be detcr- I mined iu mode nj .decree by comparhioti. ' Asa general rule tbe Federal govern incut ought to ala-tain from those objects of luler- ! ml taxation winch are necessary for me sup- I port of State and Municipal government. It j would be most expedient t<> exteud the ' sphere of Indirect taxation. Taxes on Ex- j ports would yie and a larger sum to tbe le veiiue than is generally imagined, but tor this purpose the constitution must bo amend ed. In imposing Export duties there is an evil against which we have to guard i. e .that we do not impose so high a duty, as in the article of cotton, as to afford, in effect, a premium •al iis cultivation in foreign countries Let us briefly explain the influence of the law of demand and supply on taxation of every description. Taxes of every kind of all n producer or consumer in the ratio that tbe supply of Ibn taxed commodity exceeds or falls short of tbe demand. A duty on au ex portable article is borne exclusively by the Consumer, while the supply is not in jmt proportion to the demand, aud vice vena the duty will fall on the produceis when the sup ply is in excess ot the demand. Let us il lustrate by a few examples the count ctiou between the taw of demuud and supply and taxation. Ifii duty on Imports is imposed where none lias existed before, it falls on lire pro ducer or consumer as*he demand exceeds or falls short of the supply. This is unde niable. A duly on Exports follows the same law. Au excise being laid, the article excised advances or recodes iu price as ii tiills short or exceeds the demand. A conflagra tion that destroys oJC-third of a city, the population and the demand for bonscß re maining the same, a house tux will fail on tenants, in the iiietease of rents. Au epi demic that visits a city, decimating one-third ol the inhabitants, it will fall ou landlords iu the diminution of rents. If the rule be ap plied to an export duty on cotton during the whole period that the demand exceeds the supply, the increase of price that follows must be paid by the consumer of the raw material. Whatever amount of duty is im posed, it will be drawn back iu the increased price of the article, aud the duty will fall exclusively on the consumer in foreign coun tries If, therefore the government of the United States imposes duties on exportable commodities like cotton aud tobacco, the tax must fall on the foreign consumers of those articles in proportion as the demand exceeds the supply!

SINKING UP A STEAJIEB ON TIIE CHATTAHOOCHEE. Capt. Wingate am! Throe Others Drowned. [From tire Columbus Sim, 20th.j Through the kindness of Mr. Epping we have been furnished with the following des patches : . Eltaula, Ala., Oct. 25. —The Hard Times is just up.
