Hon. T. Ct Hindman, Helene, Arkan-.as:
DnonSut: of the 27lb ulw asking
to bo informed officially u lo tbo “ ml# of Ux-
ntiou ” in Georgia "before and Mince secession”
If ot hood, end 1 hasten to reply lo tbo iome
Our Lose* in Georgia or# levied upon tbe
ad valorem prlnolplo generally, ns to property;
bonking end railroad capital, however, pey-
iognepMifte lex, the former paying 80.16 100
oento on the $100, tad the latter paying one*
half of one per oont. upon ft# net annual In
come. Our poll tax Io 26 csste'eech ; profeo-
•iono, Ac., and persons of color are toxod $5
With tbo exception!, then, of bank aod
railroad eapital, the rave of taxation in Geor
gia for the last two yeara and at present, io
•ix and half oento on the one hundred dollars,
(or about sos-fiflesnth of one per coot.) There
hoe boon no iocraaoo of taxation In Georgia
eince tbo 8tale seceded. Tbo 6$ cent* on tbo
$100 rained last year $400,000. la view of
the 8tate seceding, and the authorised iiiue
of $1,000,000 of bondo for her defence, the
legislature,iin December loot, authorised the
Governor end Comptroller General to raise
$600,000 on tbo General tax of 1861. Pro
vided the fame amount of property is re
turned, thia would only moke the whole State
or genqrnl tax pay a levy of about ten cento
on the oae hundred dollars, or one tenth ot'
one per cent. Beyond the raising of the
$600,000 we cannot go. But tbe levy is not
authorised to be made until after the let of
August next. The Governor nod Comptroller
General bare not determined nor will they
determine until that time, (at whiob time they
can best judge of the wants of the State)
whether or not they will increase much the
per cent, upon lost year.
As, however, eur taxes ere to very low
and ne we have had to purchase about $820,-
000 worth of arms and munitions of war, be
■idee paying other military expenses, it is
probable that wo may deem it necessary or
proper to raise tbe $600,000, end if tbe same
amount of property is returned that was re
turned loot year, we may have to levy about
tea cents on the .one hundred* dollars, or one
tenth of one per cent. Of course, if the same
amouatof property be returned at a leu value
than it was returned last year, the per oenl.
levied must be higher, to raise tbe tame
amount ef money. But, even if we do this,
our taxes will not be as high as that paid by
other States a year or two ago, when there
was no war or other disturbance of tbe public
peace. As pertinent to this matter I deem it
not inappropriate lo present the following,
contained in the report from this office in Oc
tober, 1850, to-wit:
‘•With tbe slight glance I have been able to
give the late Tax Aots, within my reaoh, of
several Southern States, 1 find that in South
Carolina, upon lands in oitiee, towns, villages,
boroughs,&o, the tax ie 12$ cents on the $100,
and upon other lande it is 60 cents, and slaves
pay 70 cents per head. In Kentacky, real and
personal estate is taxed at 20 cents oo the $100;
in Texas 12$ cents on the $100 on lends, 20
cents on money, &o., and 40 oenls on etch
•lavo. In Florida, 16} cents on the $100.—
In Virginia, 40 eento on the $100 reel nod
personal estate, and $1 20 on etoh sieve. In
Alabama, 20 cents on the $100 on real estate
and other property, 60 eents on money at in
terests, and an average tax of 60 coats on
each slave, (those between 15 and 40 years of
age being $1 10 each.) 1a Tenneuee, it is
18$ cents on tbe $100. In Looieiaoa, it
20 eente on tbe $100, wbilo in Georgia tbe
tax on land and slaves aad other property,
(exoept bank and railroad oapitaI,)is bat 6$
oento on v the $100/'
It wiU*lherefore be Men that while tbe tax
in Texas wants but one half cent on tbe $100
of being double our tax, tbo per cent, tax in
the various other Southern 8tates above nam»
od ie more thoa double that of Georgia, while
Alabama and Kentucky are more than three
times larger ; end the per cent, lex in Vir
ginia is more than six times that It ie in
Georgia.
In Wisconsin it ie 12$ oents on the $100,
nearly double ; New Hampshire end Maine,
it ie 20 eents on the $100, over three times as
large. In Feonsylvania it is 25 cents on the
$100, nearly four times as large, and in Min
nesota it is 26 eents on the $100, being
four times largtr than our tax.
U Ohio, the per sent. 81 oonts on the $100;
Is nearly five times largsr, and in Illinois, tbs
per cent, tax, 67 cents on tbe $100, ie over
tin limn larger than It Is in Georgia.
Thus it will bo seen tbat tbe tax of Geor
gia ie so far below that of other 8tetes, that it
may be termed almoet a nominal tax.
But this ie not all. Ae 1 have seen it fisted
ia some of tbe Northern Abolition prints,
that foroed leone biTO been exacted in the Con
federate States of tbe South, tines thty bars
seceded, 1 take this occasion to say that no
forcsd loans have been exacted la Georgia of
any character whatever. The publio debt of
Georgia, oo tbo 20th of Ootober loot, was$2,-
670,760. To rtdeeee this, besides her taxes,
(wbioh have been annually applied lo the
payment af the interest end reduction of the
public debt) this State ewoe the Western and
Atlantis Railroad, supposed te be worth $7,-
000,000, whleh he* been paying into the State
Treasury $460,000 n year after paying nil ex
penses, and she own* also $760,900 of bqnk
and railroad stock—la nil $7,790,900. Tbe
lut Legislature, however, In view of tbe an
ticipated troubles now upon (he land, author

payable at 20 years, for tbe defsnee of tbe

Capture of Port ffmltli.
Foit Smith. April 24.—Fort Smith Is in
possession of the State troops. About twelve
o'clock last night, a volunteer force, under
command of Cel. Solon Borland, led nod at l}e
wharf of the steamboats Tablequah aod Fred
trick Notrebe. Tbs commend numbered three
hundred men. About an hour before their
arrival, t apt sin Sturges decamped with hie
company, consisting of the cavalry companies.
He took away tbs horses belonging to bis
commend, and such supplies as be could trans
port. He is falling back on lo Fort Whsobita.
The post wm formally surrendered by Captain
A. Montgomery to Gen. K. Bargwin, Adjutant
Genearl of the State. He placed Colonel Bor
land in charge. Captain Montgomery and
Major Gatlin were taken prieoneis. They
were discharged on parole. There were
about seven hundred State troops here to day.
They were passed in review in the garrison
parade ground. The flag of the Confederate
S ates of America was raised on tbs boat at
twelve o'clock aiuid tbe firing of cannon and
tbe cheers of the people. After the review,
three oheers were given for the Arkansas oil-
ixen soldury, three oheers for Jefferson Davis,
aud three cheers for Governor H. M. Rector.
The stock of property taken possession of is
estimated to he of tbe value of three hundred
thousand dollars.
Ports and Portmssee.
There is but one fortress in tbe United States
—fortress Monroe. All tbe other fortified pla
ces defending our harbors are called forte.
The distinction betwixt these two terms is
very wide. All fortresses are forts, or fortifi
ed plsees , but all forts are not fortresses.—
All colleges ere schools, but schools are not
colleges. The relation of forts to fortresses is
that of minor to mnjor. A fort may be* sim
ply an advanced work to proteot the extended
lines or walls of a fortress. Generally, for
tresses are extensive encein/re for the reception
of garrieone, and built for tbe protection of
oities. In the United States, no extensive
fortified places, with large garrisons, bev#
been oonstrued for tbe deft-rise of cities. For
tifications in this country have bad reference,
principally, to harbor defense. Fortress
Monroe, wiih its capacity for'a yarriton, was
constructed for the defense.of tbe important
Nary Yard of Gosport and Norfolk, now ia
the possession of Virginia <r the Confederate
States.
The construction of the extensive nolle of
a fortress involves the highest science of en
gineering. Not so with forts. The former
implies polygons, bMtions, curtains, glacis,
covered ways, planks, soarps aud countescarps,
ravelins, redans, redoubts, aud the whole vo<
cabulary of engineering science. Add to this
the idea of a vast enceinte or eircnmvallatioo,
to oontain a Urge garrison of troops, and a
fortress rises to its proportionate majesty,—

— It will be remembered that on Saturday
last, Hon. Anthony Kennedy and J. Morrison
Harris bad an interview with Lincoln, when
the following conversation took place bstweea
them: Mr. Harris, after having announced the
object of their visit to be to prevent further
bloodehed, ami to obtain a recall of tbe orders
issued for the movement of the troops, Mr.
Lincoln, referring to the visit of Messrs. Dob
bin, Bruns and Bond, and tbe answer wbioh
he bad made te their representations, added,
My God, Mr. Harris, 1 don't know wbst te
moke ef your people. You have eent me one
committee already, end they seemed fe be
>erfectly satisfied with what I said to them.'*
dr. Harris replied that he knew nothing
about that; he oame as a citissn and a repre
sentative, to state facte m they actually existed,
and to say that the attempt to send any more
troops through Maryland would only lead to
a battle, andn very saeguinery battle. Mr.
Lincoln answered, “ My God, air, what am 1
to do ? 1 had belter go out and hang myself
on the first tree I some te, than to give up
the power of tbe Federal Government ia tbit
way—1 don’t want to go through your town
or near U if I can help it; but we must have
the troops here to relieve ourselves, or we
shall die like rat* in n trap." He further ex
tressed some surprise at the action of Mr.
lerrie, and wm disposed lo tax.him with an
abandonment of his Union principles. Mr.
Harris asswsred Mr. Lineolo that he wee still
a Union man, bat b« bed corns to etste foots,
and to represent to Lincoln the eentiment of
the people, and it wm one of universal oppo
eition to the pMMge of any more Northern
Troops Mross the toil of Maryland. Mr.
Seward, interp<sieg, drew Mr. Harris aside
te a window, and, poieting to tbe bluflV of
Arlington, asked Mr. H. if he knew that on
the top of that hill the Virginians might plant
n battery, end they would net know wbnt mo
ment e shell might burst in tbnt very room.
General Scott, who wm present, also express
ed the opinion that It might be neceoMry for
the troops lo cut their wey through Maryland

indeed ; and, among other things he said, tbat
he bad given the most of his life to his coun

by Baptists; that he not only most heartily
approved tbe resolutions in letter and spirit,
but that he bad given children, grand chil
dren sod kindred for the defense of our rights,
and tbat he was ready to lay down his rem

oorefolly examining the statute laws of the

Constitution of the United Slates expressly
stales tbat “Coogress bM power to make rules
concerning captures tm land ami wafer/' this
clause prohibits tbe President fr8m exercising
such n prerogative, as you aud every sensible
man will perceive; and in my mind when tbe
President attempts by force of arms to enforce
the law*, he ought to refrain at tbe same time
from violating them. 1 notice that the war
journals of lee metropolis advocate the ohar
taring of armed merehsat vessels by the Pre
sident to aid in blockading lb# Southern ports.
It he possesses auoh authority, than why is it
tbat Coogress deemed It assessor? and within
