in the news from the Atlantic by England, France and Spain. It is, p are viewed through monarchical and aristocratioal eyes. ‘The Presse, Louis Napoleon's orgun, probably speaks the sentiments of the Freuch Government when it says that Government will not receive Mason and. Slidell or any other Southern commission. It is: -poasible. the Presse has so declared as a blind to the real intention of Napoléon II, but it is not probable, inasmuch as however strong may be the antipathy to governments by the people, France has always considered the United States an ally necessary to check the presumption and arrogance of Gieat Britain. Tho-old hereditary hatred of England which “exists among the Freneh is a pretty sure guerantee that France is not disposed to _ combine with England to crush a nation necessary to maintain the balances of power, and whose destruction would give to Great Britaindomination on the globe. The frauds that are being discovered-in army eontracts and in the quartermasters’ departments cnil for prompt and severe punjehment. The sooner a few thieves are hung up the better, and the military commander -who, law or no law,hangs any scoundrel who attempts to make money at the expense of the comfort, and lives of soldiers. who-are serving their country, will make himself pop: tilar with the people. Deiith is a punishment richly deserved for such evimes,.—— There is considerable activity on the part ‘ofthe Federal forees. A forward movement 4 a90nto be made dowu the Mississippi, another expedition will shortly sail to the Southern goast, aheavy blow has ere thia, probably been atruck in North Carolina and dnother in the vidinity of Savannah. A prominent item of.news.is the expiration of the enlistments of eighty thousand men'in the Southera army, aiid the probability expreswed that but few will be disposed . The disvateh of 15,900 men under Berusequence. Doubtless the Federal forces will bo prepared to give him a warm reception. Missouri presents still a fair-opportunity forhard fighting. Sterling Price seems deStaces forces in that State. The fear of a recognition of the Southern Confederacy by _ Mawropoan Powers, will provably act as a spur to our armies and we may éxpect to hear of exciting events before long. tH” A correspondent thivks the ground at Sacramento too swampy to build the Capitol wi, but ts a great deal “of money has been expended on a foundation he thinks It ought to be sived by piling. ; The suggestion isa good aud economical _ oe, bub We see he. way to make it answer for the present foundatigns except by driving the piles up from below he Union will ‘@lucidate the modus operand ts olewr. as dividuals who tuke their cue from the Sac. ramento Union propose to petition the Leg. jslature to enact a law compeljug members of the Legislature and. officers of the Gov ernment te wear boots with the pegs uncut, _ and otherwise providing for an utter abnegation of peravnal comfort. q .

There is no terror or sense of injustice in the breast of the honest and thinking miner .in the idea of paying a reasonable tax. Miners can reason as well as ‘the editor of the Express; in truth, we will turn them out against. any class for strong intellect and unimpeachable honesty; and for real and substantial patr/otism the miners of the State will distance all. They can see that touses erected in the wooden towns_about the country -are taxed for what they are worth, and that claims the owners would pot exehange for all the, houses of wtown, pay nothing. ~They can see that these houses are subject tu depreciation and_ destruction by fire, bat as long as they stand ‘they pay to support the Government, The ower indeed. pays a tax on their-valne, and also a tux on the business he carries on in the houses. ‘The miners can see that four-fifths of the litigation in our courts is about mining -¢hims; and thatthese-cases are novel in their nature dad expensive. No reasonable miner will insist that the few that are engaged ing other avocations should be made to pay the cost of supporting courts, and government generally, mainly for his benefit. He is not aselfish being to that extent the Express would have him, by any means, but is disposed to yield to any thing that is right, and submit to nothing that is wrong. 1f the courts are of benefit to him in maintaining his rights, he is willing to pay for their support. Now, hundreds of cases may be seen in the. mines where money, from small sums up to ‘immense amounts, has been paid for claims, the value of whieh can be determined with as much certainty before ‘working as the value of a ditch or a building in a mining town, Ascltims are now proapected and worked the miner can tell with as much exactnews what they are worth as the farmer in: the vulleys can say of his land, the worth of which is determined by the crops it will pro. duce and these depend upon the season, gophers, squirrels, ete. At any rate, property is valued for taxable purposes by what the owner estimates it te the Assessor, The oath of the owner is considered good, and a miner who would not exchange his claims for buildings, farms, or money, ought to be able to swear va to. what he considers the value of is claims, taking into eonsideration all chances. and pay taxes teeordingly. “When a sound argument is made against taxingNuining claims of acknowledged value, it will be time to-meake further argument.— Thas far, the poeket of the miner has been wldressed and not Tits judgment. We contribute these remarks forthe benefit of the aeeesh press. Let the most.be made of them. : ‘4 ee ee ee ee ~'P_P. T.
