Austrian Taxation.
The pe (cuniary oppression of the Aus
trian Go ivernment in her Italian provin
ces, ha: i been a most fertile and just
cause of the discontent which exists
there, has precipitated the present war,
and h as given to France an excuse to
inter sere, whether sincerely or not, in
favo r of the dov n trodden people.
Si ,nce 1815 when Austria acquired
net , territory in the North of Italy, the
ta iation has been, though variable,
ir in its enormity. From 1817
1 o 1851, the taxon incomes varied, but
was seldom less than 28 per cent; since
1851 an addition has been made to the
previous taxes and at present, the in
come tax alone amounts to nearly. 10
percent. Besides, there are municipal
taxes, and taxes upon transfers and in
heritages of property, so considerable,
that it is estimated that the nett in-1
come of a property holder, but littlej
- exceeds the amount he pays to the gov
ernment, or in other words that one
half, sometimes more, of the proceeds
of hi 6 labor or property is taken from
him in taxes. So oppressive is the tax
on inheritances, that in one prefecture
nearly six hundred properties of per
nons deceased are unclaimed because
their heirs are unwilling or unable to
pay the tax upon their succession.—
The distress consequent upon this out
rageous robbery has been greatly ag
gravated of late years by the disease of
the vine and mulberry, on the cultiva
tion of which the inhabitants chiefly
depend for support, and famine, caused
as much by tyranny of man, as by the
dispensation of Providence, has driven
them to desperation. Is it any wonder
that they welcome war as a relief, that
the good wishes of most civilized peo
ple are with the French Emperor, un
trustworthy champion of freedom and
justice, though he may be, and that
Austria has but few well wishers, al
though, as to the ostensible causes of
the present war, undoubtedly fighting 1
in defence of her guaranteed rights.
“Mlmt Your Own Business.”
Such is the heading of an article in
the Athens Watchman in reply to our
late comments upon the credit system,
as practiced by publishers. The whole
article is in excellent keeping with the
diciatorial tone of its heading; indeed
Sir Oracle himself could not Lave open
ed his mouth in a manner more perfect
ly in keeping with his character. There
are some things in the article so pain
ful and so personal that we reluctantly
pass them unnoticed ; but we cannot
believe that the editor would wantonly
violate the friendly relations that have
for years existed between us ; and we
have no wish to follow his example and
provoke personal or professional asper
ity for the mere gratification of dis
playing prowess in repartee. We would
rather endure some injury than to
wound a friend. To assail a position or
a popular custom, is one thing, and to
indulge in offensive insinuations quite
another. Whatever faults we possess,
a light regard for the courtesies and
amenities of the profession is not among
them; nor can we believe that the
characteristics which the editor by im
putation ascribes to us, constitute any of
the prominent foibles of our nature.
We feel confident that if brother
Christy will calmly review his article,
his soul is large enough to enable him
to feel that he has indulged in unwar
rantable insinuations toward a personal
friend, aud taken offen-ive liberties with
the Dispatch. Aside from its flippant
personality, which we cannot burden
our readers in dis ussing, there is noth
ing in the article that demands a reply,
and we therefore extend to it “the
charity of silence.’’

The redoubtable Doctor, who has
figured in so many courts, and peniten
tiaries, has been arrested in Memphis < n
the charge of procuring goods under
false pretenses. He was remanded to,
jail, for a hearing before the next term
of the criminal court. The Bulletin ,
says that the large Court Room in the !
exchange building was crowded with!
persons, at the trial, anxious to get a
look at the notorious fellow. He had

before arraigned for vagrancy and dis

This morning there is not so much

Auburn, Ala., June 7th, 1859.
Editors Dispatch:— This town of Au
. burn, albeit not “sweet Auburn, love
liest village of the plain,” is quite fa
. mOus for several lions contained in it
, It is the seat of the “East Alabama
Male College.” This is an infant insti
. tution, but has started in a career of
- prosperity very gratifying to its friends,
f The edifice erected for the exercises of
. its functionaries, is soon to be comple
, ted. Perlraps in the entire South there
I is not a structure for educational pur
. poses that will compare with it. The
order of architecture is mostly Grecian.
It is a grand, stately and magnificent
building; the length is nearly two hun
dred feet, and is four stories high ;
within, the apartments are numerous
and quite spacious ; there are several
lecture rooms, a chapel and society
hallsof the area of ordinary church ed
ifices; it has two towers erected for the
i purposes of observatories. The whole
lis admirably arranged and contrived
; for the purposes for which it is design
-1 ed. It is built of brick, and when fin
ished will co’St about sixty thousand
dollars. It stands a monument to the
munificence tind love of learning of the
! Methodist denomination.
| Auburn is likewise the residence of
Prof. I. J. Morris, who is revolution
izing this whole region upon the subject
of education. He is the author of a
wonderfully good English Grammar. —
His system is entirely philosophical and
adapted to the genius and structure of
the English language. Teachers have
long been aware that the English Gram
mars now in use, are moddled after the
Grammars of the Latin and Greek lan
guages. In so far they are not at all
adapted to a proper understanding of
the English language. Our language is
' sui generis, and needs its own peculiar
’ grammar.
Prof. Morris’ main idea, howevpr,
is, in regard to education, to teach but
one branch at a time, and to acquire it
thoroughly. The results so far, have
been, I am told, most gratifying and
beneficial. Arithmetic and other branch,
es are taught in the same way. The
plan is gaining in favor with the people
every day. It is thought to be destined
to prevail over and supercede the com
mon method.
1 I had the pleasure of meeting Prof
I Morris. He is highly cultivated and
scientific. He is a gentleman of indom
itable energy and perseverance, and
destined to a sure success.
Auburn is likewise the home of Prof.
II Darby, the inventor and manufacturer
1 of the Prophylactic Fluid. He is cleans
, 1 ing and purifying the world by means
e of his admirable invention. If you,
Mr. Editor, do not understand its nature
and propensities, ask the ladies. They
s will tell you that it is good to disinfect
; and sweeten the surrounding air, but
i that its most interesting and important
-1 quality is that it brightens and beautifies
,| the complexion in a marvelous degree.
I regret that I have arrived at the
bottom of my sheet and cannot give
any further account of the rare and
wonderful in this wonderful town of
Auburn. If your readers relish this, they

The Columbus Fire.
By a private letter received here, we
have the following information relative
to the insurances on the cotton destroy
ed. We are not informed whether there
are insurances in other offices than those
mentioned ;
The cotton was mostly insured in
i Northern and Foreign offices :
; Home, of New York, $16,500; one of
tiie London offices $26,500. This in
's surance was fortunately effected only a
few hours before the fire, by the agent of
; the Savannah Bank, who had advanced
, j ou the cotton.
:ti The Au f usta Insurance & Banking
q| Company lost only $15,000.
, Southern Mutual $14,000.
t Tuske S eu Insurance Company $5 000
r About 2 - m bales . belonging to plan
ters, was not insured.

aries, the fire having apparently beeu

1 ten bales wore saved. '1 he Mayor offers

IMPROVED GALVANIZED IRON
REFRIGERATOR,
; ; os practical and scientific principles.
The best and most Convenient article
in use for Cooling and Preserving
MEATS, MILK, BUTTER,
FRUIT, WINES, &C.
t mHEY so arranged that the ice
L water runs slowly through each shelf, and
\ being confined from the effects of hot t®r. keeps
1 1 them at the coldest point, causing the re riger
' atiug influence to lie the some throughout the
whole apparatus. This is effected by the drip
1 1 pings from the ice, which is lost in ail other Ro
’ frigerators. They are open on the front and
1 1 top—make a neul piece of furniture —can be
i j placed in any room and have a Water Jar, by
■ i whi h perfectly cold water c in, at all times, he
had without additional ice. THIS RKFRKIERa
' ToR IS NO EXPERIMENT. They have been in
i, successful operation for upwards of ten years,
to the (ratitica ion of those who have had them
• 1 iu use duriug that length of time, as their certifi-
I cates will show, and are now the most approved
| before the public.
The improvements recently added, by wnloli
! THE MOST PERFECT VENTILATION is insured,
■ a great saving of ice has been obtained, more
j (rigid air produced, and durability effected, cer-j
tainiy place them far in advance of uuytbiug
1 ever offered for public patronage.
This article received the First Premium
at the World’s Fair Exhibition, at
New-York ; at the late Fair of
the U. S. Agricultural So
ciety,held at Louisville,
Ky., and at all the
Fairs where it has
been Exhibited.
i GALVANIZED IRON has been substituted for
the shelving ill lieu of zinc thereby enabling us
to oiler them entirely free bom oxycization and j
corrosion, and consequently void of that disa
greeable odor which has been so objectionable j
iin other Refrigerators. In addition to their be-!
j ingso vastly Jbpcrior to others owing to their
; convenient arrangements and unequalled princi- j
pie, they are more serviceable, as it is now con
ceded that Galvanized Iron is more durable than
I any other metal, as it is tot effected by acid,
! saltwater, kc.
