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.

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,— Sjrannah Republican. Old Ant" Frkjhtcncd out or his Boots — 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.

Tbeee resolutions were followed wKh able speeches by PrMident Crawford, Judge H«ll- ver, J. H. Campbell, and Ex-Governor Lump kin. Governor Lonipkin is nearly four score years eld, and ban been n Biptiet over sixty jeers. He stood before his younger brethren manly end erect, while his long flowing locks, almost as white as snow, rested upon his shoul ders, giving him the appearance of a patriarch indeed ; and, among other things he said, tbat he bad given the most of his life to his coun try and to the cause of Christ m represented 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 nant of life for our preservation.
