We shell not assume that taxation in Georgia
is more burdensome than in most other States,
Indeed, we suppose it to be lighter than in most
of them. It is varied, as to the aggregate, by
the special demands of corporations and conn-
ties ; bat in its lightest aspect, it is hard and
grievous to be borne.
The unhappy citizen is never out of sight of
the tax assessor and the tax gatherer. So soon

in a wagon with other parties, when Pickett
asked permission to pot a two gallon jug in it—
himself being in a rickety old buggy, heavily
loaded—which permission was granted by the
driver, and the jug placed upon the wagon. Mo-
rand objected to the jug being hauled, and threw
it out upon the ground, breaking it The ne
gro told him he must pay him for the syrup,
whereupon Mor&nd said he would pay him by
shooting him, and drew his pistoL The negro
started with a bucket to water the horses, and

the position of Assessor of the second district of
that State. His appointment was positively
promised, and he returned to Georgia fully ex
pecting that his commission would shortly follow
him, but to his surprise a man named White-
head was subsequently nominated and confirmed.
This change is said to have been effected in the
fallowing way: Creswell has a cousin named

and poll tax to State, county and city.
Assessors warn you by mail and on every lamp
post and corner. Look out, or death and destrue- !
tion are at hand. Bring in yotjr returns. Get
blanks—read carefully—study into the law. Ig
norance excuses no man. Study diligently what
yon have to pay. Keep a sett of books against
yourself for the benefit of the government. Ex
amine your conscience and look sharp for pains
and penalties. Only a few days more left to
avoid a double tax.
And then comes the squad of tax-gatherers,
with their still more difficult demands, and they
all take yon raking. It is a perfect running of
the gauntlet What one spares another dutches,
and when they have got the bottom dollar they
shake the dreadful tax execution in your face.
The money yon had laid by for Soar, meat,
schooling, the doctor’s bin, or for house rent—
where is it? Some of the tax-gatherers have
got it, and the remainder are hard after yon for
more which yon haven't got and hardly know
where to look for.
Snrely, in all the history of the human race
never was there such a time for tax-payers.
They are like the last old back in a swamp—
everybody’s dogs are after them and they get no
time to blow from January to December. We
believe it to be true of the great mass of the
American people that the tax money baa come
to be blood money—that it is drawn out of earn
ings indispensablo to comfortable subsistence.
That the people are wasting under it That the
national strength ia yearly enfeebling, and that
its effects will, in not many years, disclose
themselves as detrimental in the highest degree
to the pnblie welfare.
We do not wish to be understood that the ag
gregate of national wealth is diminishing. This
is not true. But we believe it u true that while
the aggregate wealth of the country is'increas
ing, the increase is made np in the rapid accu
mulations of the rich—the “earnings of capital"
and in spite of the growing poverty and disabili
ty of labor. We believe the coHntry is rapidly
sinking nnder the drains of exorbitant and par
tial taxation into tho condition of the old world
—into extremes of wealth and extremes of pov
erty, and the middling comfortable class is every
year getting fewer and fewer. That labor, in
spite of all its ill-conceived and ill-pursued reme
dies in the way of combination, is constantly
sinking into disadvantage in its straggle against
capital, and that these tendencies will shortly
be too apparent to bo questioned.
Meanwhile, in the matter of taxation which
tho poople can control, it behooves them to be
working earnestly in the business. The great
extravagance of federal expenditures seems to
have stimulated State, county and corporation
to a “generous rivalry.” Instead of curtailing
every cent in order to save the citizen and ena
ble him the better to sustain the demands of the
federal Government, State, counties and cor
porations seem to be emulous of thh leeching
powers of Congress and determined to see.if
they cannot be surpassed.
This onght not so to be, and it cannot be so
> much longer without seriously crippling the
. abilities of the people for revenue purposes.—
We are told that in some of the counties the
, default lists are very large, and tax executions
i will probably be distressing. The attention of
- the people should be early and earnestly drawn
to the matter of an abatement of domestic taxes
and they should refuse to support any candidate
hereafter who will not pledge himself to abate-

Senator Sumner and General Butler, and with rpilE
the full concurrence of the Cabinet, a rebuke to A. life
the disloyal element of Georgia for the late
murders and outrages alleged to have been per- 1

would make the omission tho cause of pitching I lit I

from the month of the gin, packs it evenly and

screw presses the bale to the proper size, all
with the same power that runs the gin. It saves
cotton and a great deal of work, compared with
the old style of packing ootton. The savings
off of one good cotton crop will pay for the lint

The Fence Question.
The Southern Cultivator copies an article
upon enclosures from tho Georgia Enterprise,
which will be found in this edition, signed “A
Farmer.” It is an intelligent article, and con
tains many suggestions which the Telegraph
has tried editorially to place before the public.
The same subjeot is earnestly engaging the at
tention of the pnblie in all the Southern States.
We think the State of Alabama has passed a law
upon this subject—at all events, it has been
under consideration by the Legislature. Vir
ginia is deeply moved upon it, and had that glo
rious old State a Legislature, she would have
led off in digesting a well-considered statute.
When, if ever, the intelligence of that State is
able to resume tho direction of its affairs, we
may expect to see measures promptly adopted
to dispense with the necessity for farm fences.
We regard this, in fact, as the great national
question of the day—a measure of deliverance
absolutely indispensablo to the prosperity of the
South. Fences oost ns probably more than tax
es. There is no way of getting at the expense,
but any reasonable calculation must make it a
large one. This writer places it at “millions
annually,” in Georgia, and we have no doubt he
is right. Do away with this needless labor and
expense and you will at onco lighten the bur.
dens of a people oppressed by the tremendous
taxation of the day—such taxation as was never
before collected except by bayonets in the way
of forced loan.
This matter was nlso made the subject of a
special report and resolution by the late Mem
phis Convention, so that we may reasonably
assume that it has at length excited a general
attention in some degree commensarato with its
merits.
We beg leave to refer the reader to the arti
cle we allude to, and to ask the earnest conside
ration of our Georgia landholders and planters
to the subject. If they will, at their various
agricultural meeting and social gatherings, dis
cuss this matter—its desirableness—its practica
bility—the question of loss and gain connected
with it, if there, be any real loss, of winch we
donbt—and the proper provisions of a Statute,
much light may be thrown upon the whole mat
ter. We invite the attention of our numerous
correspondents to this subject, as one of the
most interesting and important subjects which
can engage their thoughts and pens. Let ns
hear from them.

Religions Ideas of Seaboard BUcIcs.
Rev. Dr. Girardeau, of Charleston, speaking
in defence of his report before the Mobile Gen
eral Assembly upon the evangelization of the
blacks, says:
As regards their interests, we cannot let them
go without sending them to the vast sea of ruin.
I live upon the coast, among vast numbers of
them, whose numbers are being increased by
those retreating before immigration in the np-
land country. I could reveal facts to astonish
the Assembly concerning their tendencies. The
father of the Rev. Dr. Palmer has told me of
their orgies. They fill a table with candles,
and dance around it, saying they are the angels
of God around his throne, and one of their
number, who preaches to them, tells the Gos
pel of Julius. He canuoc even correctly pro
nounce the name of Jesus. In some of their
meetings they are adopting the Romish system
of penance. In one instance they broke bricks
into fragments and compelled the penitents to
walk over these on their bare knees. Shall we
torn them off, alienate them from us, and in
crease the antipathy between the races ?
When I returned from a Northern prison
some of the blacks asked me to preach to them.
I agreed to meet a few of their leading men,
bnt found a whole congregation gathered to
meet me. I asked them what had brought them
thus together? Nothing bnt the love of Jeans.
