'When we purchased the Union, one of
the essential points agreed upon was, the
complete transfer of the subscription list.
Mr. Knapp intended lo furnish it, but from
numerous complaints in all parts of the
counly, we are satisfied we never have
been fully furnished ithhe names as we
should have been. We have never had
the Books oorfl wifhiti the past week, al
though' we have frequently asked for them.
Our friends may rest assured, that we
will compare the Bouts before ihe next

men TAXESTHE CAUSES.
Numerous are ihe inquiries in regard lo
the csusa of Isxes being higher this year
than formerly. Fearing that some ditin
terttbei patriots may charge the wrong
persons, we deem it proper to fry and show
the reason by few figures, lo 'wftich ws
sk (be careful attention of every lax-payer
in this county. Here they are :

. By the strove it will be teen that there
has been ltd ftictease of Slate levy, either
for expenses of State or State Debt, not
withstanding the large outlays incident to
growing Slate like this. The only in
crease rflade an J it is considerable is for
School purposes, there being in increase
of t0 and one-tenth mills on the dollar's
valuation between 1852 ind 1853 ma
king i difference of one and six tenth
mills over l52.
For County purposes there has been
in increase, owing lo the large outlay in
creeling ind finishing the Public Buildings,
flesetufore, the amount levied for Counly
parpoae has always been loo small, and
the consequence has been that the Counly
Orders have been on interest most of Jlie
year, there being no ends in the Treasury.
Th ComBMssiewers, having desire lo
manage ihe affairs of the County as eco
nomically is possible, thought the most ef
fectual way to accomplish it in part, was.!o
levy enough lo cover all the expenses of
the County, and thereby save Ihe amount
of interest paid ouisjvery year, besides be
ing au accommodation lo ihe people who
held Orders on the Treasury, to say noth
ing of die additional benefit of saving 'a
shsre in the Order, from the speculating
shirks who seek to take advantage of eve
IJ man holding one. But few people wish

for five or six dollars. This increase, then,
is eletrly for the benefit of the people gen

amounts assessed by each Township lot

The ipeciatlaxet for this purpose ui year,
mount to 113,307,30--being larger than
Ihe whole amount levied for Counly pur-,
poses, and in Increase over the last year,
for the same object, of 17.771.88, These
assessmenti were ordered by the Boards ol
Education, for lire benefit ef the people of
iK respeclve Townships, and ihey alone
are responsible for the increase of the laxee
from that source. In 1853, Montgomery
Township levied a special lax for the Union
School of this place, of $3,149,29, and in
1853, only $1,070,60 2 making a differ
ence of $1,172,61 8. , There has also been
an increase in Road laxes, ordered by some
Townships and for which tbey are alone
responsible, ' , .
The whole mystery in regard to high
ttxes, is revealed in tho additional Slate
levy for School purposes, ind the increase
of the Township levies, and $8,200 for
County purposes of all kinds, which is but
l trifle in causing an increase in our laxes.
No person is responsible for this increase
but the Townships themselves, in lovylng
this speaial tsx. This being the case, the
people must, therefore, look lo home fur a
solution of the difficulty. i : :
We ssk snd hope, thsl the fuels herein
staled and ahown by figures, may be read
by every lax-payer in the oouuty. Road,
and then hand this paper lo your neighbor.

Columbus, Feb. 4, 1854.
Editor Ohio Union ; Since my last
communication, several important meas
ures have boen introduced into both branch
es of the Legislature,
Mr. Follett, has introduced a Bill lo
prevent the circulation of foreign bank bills
of a less denomination than five dollars ;
which, when modified slightly, will doubt
less pass. Such a law is demanded at this
time. Ohio is now flooded with millions
of worthless (rash issuing from adjoining
Stales ; and there is, seemingly, no effec
tual way of driving it from circulation here,
but to pass a stringent law on the subject.
ihs compelling its withdrawal from this
Slate.
Mr. Akdoson has introduced a bill lo
pinish those who adulterate spirituous
liquors. This is also a measure of con
siderable importance. - When an effectual
atop is put 10 such adulteration, many of
the fearful consequences now following the
use of ardent spirits, will have 10 end.
Delirium tremeni evidently is produced
by the adulteration of spirituous liquors
bv ihe use of deleterious compounds. The
greater portion of our wines, brandies,
cins. rums, die., are made from raw whis-
.a
key, by mixing ilwith coloring snd poison,
destructive of human life. 1 he bill will
probably pass with some amendments. It
provides for ihe appointment of one in
spector (or each county.
A bill to protect Jewe from arresl in
civil cases, while engaged on Saturday's in
iheir religious services, was introduced into
the Senate, and finally passed that body,
and has now gone down to the House for
its concurrence therein. Considering the
many privations which that peculiar peo
ple have labored under in almost every
country on the Globe, it is but an act ol
Justice, that they should be proleeted in
this matter, in a country boasting of so
much freedom as our.
A series of resolutions in relation lo the
Vebraika bill, introduced in Congress by
DrmaLAss, have been introduced into Ihe
Senate by Mr. Upson, a Fusion-Abolition
Whig, proposing to request our Sen
ators and Representalirea in Congress,
to make every effort to prowai the pasaage
of such an act. I an of opinion that no
such resolutions will pass either branch of
the Legislature.
The Stale Temperance Convention is
now in session in this City. It is largoly
attended, ind, considering the defaatof Ihe
Temperance party last fall, considerable
of enthusiasm exists among (he members
of ths Convention ; and, with s few ex
ceplions, all seems lo go off harmonioualy.
There appear to be a difference of opin
ion among ihe leading spirits, with regard
to the course to be pursued in the future
by ihe Temperauee mea. florae stoutly
contending for the Main Law, while iher
think it more expedient to ask for Pro
hibitory Law. The current seem to run
in favor of the fallen party. I think that
if that is their resolve, and that they
memoralize the Legislature for the passage
of such a law, or isk that body to submit
such a proposition to Ihe people, at a time
when it will not come in conflict with any
regular election, they will succeed. :
The Military are now in session i this
citf. Ths objeat of this Convention
seems lo be, to frasjs a suitable law lo or
gautse the Militia of Ihe State, in accord
ance with the provisions of the New Con
stitution. Some measure ef this kind is
undoubtedly necesssry. Our government
arms here, ire in a bad condition, for
winl of om proper place to dapoaii

LETTERS FROM TUB FAR WEST.-NO. 1
Ksoxvtlle; Iowa, Jan. 13, 1854.
Editor Ohio Umon : According lo
promise, I will proceed lo gireyou a sketch
of my trip to this country, and the appear
ance of things generally.
We left Ashland County on the 5th of
Oct. 1853 we passed through Greenwich,
New Haven, Attica, Bucyrus, Marion,
Marysvillo, Mechanicsburg and Spring
field, to Dayton. The latter plare is an
honor to Ohio. For energy, activity and
affability, her eitizens cannot be surpassed.
From Dayton, we passed through Eaton,
and shortly after bid farewell to our be
loved Ohio,
In the Hoosier State we passed through
several towns and tillages, the mosl noted
of which wss Richmond City the mosl
beautifulriver town in the Slate. It should
be called the "Garden City of the Weat; "
everylhirg being as neat as i pin. We
finally arrived at the Capital, which, for
neatness ind beauty, exceeda the Capital
City of Ohio. It contaim, some buildings,
whiuli, for workmanship and architectural
beauty, are as fins as I have ever seen.
The buildings for benevolent purposes ire
truly slogan!, and speak loudly in favor of
the benevolence of tho people of Indiana.
With the western part of the State I was
not very well pleased. Diverging to the
South-west, we passed through some very
poor looking country, and, as we neared
the Wahash, we passed through miles of
sandy Prairie, nnfit for cultivation.
We crossed the Wabash at Terrehaute
a town of much business but badly laid
oul ; houses in dusters, and the majority
bent upon gain, little els. Still contin
uing in a south-westerly direetion, we
passed through some fine country in Ihe
Sucker Stale. From BlaoinlSeld our route
ley through large prairies, (the first that we
had seen that were large.) but little limber
and thinly settled. We passed through
Urbana iqd Bloomiugtou, ihe latter tho
handsomest place, by far, that I saw in
Illinois. Next arrived at Peon, the city
of Blacklegs, and ihe hardest place on the
whole road. Home of the people, (like
some others you will find in moving) con
sider movers completely expatriated, and
only fit to be cheated, fleeced ind taken
advantage of, They ire Ihe last people
who should claim Ihe privilege of execut
ing the extreme penalty of the law upon
Uiose who have violated them. I was
very unfavorably impressed wkh both the
country and people of Illinois. Leaving
Peora, we passed through but tittle oun-
Iry that I liked. With the town of
Gadesburg and Monmouth, and the count
try around them, I was, however, very
well pleased. Had I psssed through Illi
nois some other way, I might have liked
il belter.
After much loil and fatigue, we at la I
arrived at the Father of Wateri "the
Mississippi. Here, your reader will re
collect, is where Billy Bkdb's Buffalo's
and Deer, and Tectjhscii's scalping Itnife,
lie buriod in the " aihct of dctpair," In
looking it this magnificent stream for the
first lime, one is Cllad with admiration ;
and yon mentally exeiaim, while gazing
upon this, one of ihe greatest exhibitions
of the creative power of the Almighty,
how wonderlul at thy works, O God.! "
W crossed Ihe river at Burlington,
among the trst business places in this State,
snd for .the first time el4oot on tho toil of
law. Burlington is place of consider
able trade, and was -once the Capital of
Ihe State. The infcaraitants axe very hos
pitable and kind. ' The location of the
town is not very handsome, being n rath
er s narrow deCle between jhe liter and
Bluff. The streets sre wide, snd the
buildings displsy considerable taste, la
ihe business men yon soon discover a trait
of character peculiar to western men
frankness. From Burlington we travelled
on flank Road sotus twenty-eight miles,
to Mu t feasant, the Shir town Qf Unry
county. Th land dn Dei Moines and
Henry counties 4 much alike ; rather flat
fox esrly farming, but soi) rich ind very
deep. From Ml. Pleasant we j-issed
through Jefferson, Wapello and Wahaaka,
to Marlon, where we bay located, i will
give you s f u II description f the country

The. friends of Rait Road enleprises will
be very glad lo learn that Mr. Chamberlain
il interested in Ihe work, and. again we
have the old firm of Dooliltle and Cham
berlin revived, ' These gentlemen have
been long known for their enterprise and
energy, and for fifteen years past have
been almost constantly engaged in the con.
struclion ol Publio Works.' The large
capital Ihey have accumulated, beoause all
their undertakings have been carried to a
successful completion, augur most favora
bly for the ttrnad Gunge Rail Road. '
Mr. Chamberlain it will be remembered,
was the1 contractor for the' Ship Canal in
British' Province, the heaviest work prob
ably that ha been completed in North
America; ' It is slated that at one time he
had as many as a thousand hands at labor
on a single mile of that work.' Since its
completion he has built Rail Roads In

We dropped in on this body yesterday
afternoon. They were debating Ihe ques
tion whether Ihey ought respectfully lo re
quest the Legislature lo leave the vote on
a" prohibition Jaw " to the people, or de
mand and challenge. them to do it. They
concluded on lle latter. It passed very
unanimously. . After thai, there "ere soma
ugly speeches and worse development
about Ihe finances of llp last fall' tem
perance movement. Mr. Jenkins arraign
ed several prominent temperance men for
iheir large promises and pour performance.
Ho was particular in designating Moies B.
Corwiu who, if what Jenkins says is
true, he ought to he ashamed of himself.

ran his legs off through the Slate, lo the
neglect of hi honest occupation, wss al
lowed by the committee a small sim, and

bad feeling, and seemed like a wet blank

Fire.
About half past seven o'clock last
night our citizens were srouscd from
their usual quiet by the alarming cry of
fire, which, in a very ' few minule dis
played itself iu full(power at the extensive
stabling attached to Ihe Phu-nix Hotel,
owned by J. Smail. It required ill the
efforts of our noble fire companies (to
whom loo much praise cannot be awarded)
and ihe eitizens generally, to save the
Hotel, which was joined to the stabling by
shed roof, and other valuable properly in
Ihe immodiale neighborhood. , Some , of
tho dwellings were in great danger at onq
time, ns their scorched appearance wil
tcsiify. ' Mr. Cummings, the landlord,
thinks that it is the work of an incendiary
for the perpetration of which two person
wero arrested and committed to jarl im
mediately whether iljey wjH be able to
prove auy thing on them or not remains lf
be seen. The horses and slock were res
cued. In addition to the heavy loss by
the entire llotn:ctjon of the stabling, tho
proprietor will, it .is thought, not be able
to repair and rcplaco his furniture and
fixtures, which wore broken and other
wise injured in being removed from the
house, much short of one thousand dol
lars. This Hotel has just hoen remodeled
and fitted jup by Mr. Cummings, for ths
accommodation of boarders and travellers,
and we hope that, although every thing ia
.confusion n present, he will soon be sblo
to restore qrder again.
Since the above was in type, we learn
that the person arrested fur firing the
premises have been examined belore the
Mayor and discharged, .there not appear
