Ho tells us elscwhora that tho. whole property of the United States amounts . toTour tecn Thousand Million Dollars. Ho proposes theref.tfo that about one "fifth of tho ontiro pro perty of the Unitod States be raado exempt from taxation. And what clnss o'f property does "ne proposo thus to ox?mpt 1 l? it tho property o? the poor ; of tho laboring class of the pcoplt ; oi tmall f..miers; or tho ueoesearies of life? Ju?i tba reverse. He proposes to exempt throe tlftu sand milli-n dollars worth of Government bonds freui taxation.' Aod ?ho viii be the holden of these botidf ! Why ibo capitalists, the moneyod men of the country, merchant princes, Wall Street Banker?, stock jobbers; and the Shylock* generali/ of the land. The eonmmmation of this sckome would ?rect in a republican GeVera ment the mott odious m->nejed aristocracy the world tter saw. Jews and. stoek jobbers holding Three Tho utan d Million Dellars free of taxation ; abd the ?mall farmer, the mechanic, the trades mao, and thc poor of all cla/tes, heavily taxtd to pay the .interest open this gigantic debito sup port ibis numerous and nasty nobility! Would the people of the North, and especially of the North West, pay a tax of a million and a hali dellars, the in tero ?t upon zach a. debt as this? Wa hare strangely mistaken their intelligence il thoy do.. There must undoubtedly bc some ?trong reason that urges Mr. MCCCLLOCD to put forth such a scheme. And wo accordingly find that rcsjon ic his admirion that unless thtso Bonds are ex empted from toxa'.ist, they oaunot le told. Thu we admit will very certainly be tho result. Il three thousand millien dollars worth of Govern ment Bends subject to taxation he thrown upoi the mtirkot, there will be few or no purchasers Moraj od men will be very-shy of investing go*c loon.y iu Bonds which may never be poid Whether suth Bonds will ever be redeemed de pends upon tho voters in Ibo United States. I A, ioiij*iity of the voters in tho several S ates ar< opposed U paying the in tor est upon those Bonds they baro but to select members of Congress wh< will Toto for their repudiation-and there will bi tn end ot the .Bonds. To oenjocturo what th people will choose to do ia such a case, it woul< be well to inquire what will he their interett ; as i is a pretty safe calculation to suppose thatmen wil "be funded, whether these Bonds be exempt from tax a'iunornot, there will not be one man in ton whi will he a Bond-holder; or suppose thoro be ono ii three. Two man then out of every three in tin country will be taxed to pay tho interest on Bondi in whioh they have no intorest; and tho tax, Mr MCCULLOCH himself admits, will ba five per cen on the rosources of the eountry. Will the grca mass of the taboring people of the oountry, i. o two-thirds, agree to pay this tax, for the bench of the remaining third-and that third the mon eyed aristocracy of tba kid ? These ar? questitns that capitalists will look cautiously into buitre touching Government Bonds; and this the Treasorerja well aware .of Hence his anxiety te have tkelo Bonds exempted from taxation ; as otherwise there will be no hops of selling them. We have fbown the monstrow injustice which such a scheme would work to thc poor and tho laboring mon of the country; and it is for them to decide woollier or not they will erect a perm tnent moneyod aristocracy in the country, The Anderson Intelligencer.

Si MOM does not think that " Cotton will bo worth seventy-fivo cents per pound next spring ;" therefore he will continue to furnish the publia with everything in the clothing line at re duced prices. SIMON says it is reported "tba* the Prince of Wales (with his-wife and two ba bies) will visit Augusta soon." He couldn't visit a handsomer or more enterprising plaeo. This last is what tee think." Indeed wo were about tc say " conlda't visit a btlltr place." Hut when we call to mind the horse raid which befell Gonl.

The demand being accompanied by i exhibition of shooting irons, the Gem , gracefully, but reluctantly, surrendered ?i overpowering force, from the fact that I was unarmed ; and, doubtless, carao to conclusion, under the circumstances, t 1 discretion was tba better pan of valor. 1 robbers immediately unharnessed the Ge ral'e horses and bid him an affectionate fa weil. ' After driving on a short distance those bi ) way robbers met a ge itleraan and lady, r > ing on horseback, who accompanied Gene , King and lady from the city, and with I . utmost audacity commanded the gentles: , to dismount, which he did, and his horse v then appropriated ; making in all three hor which they bad stolen. This is ic every r peet the boldest highway robbery which have of late chronicled, when we consider t time, the place and the prominence of I ; victims of this outrageous proceeding. G< ' eral King, on his return to the city, sen detachment of mounted men afte r the "rc hers, and wo sincerely trust that they will arrestad and punished severely for this hig banded outrage. The General is an officer of tbe old Ara and ba?, by bis judicious and impartial a ministration of-all matters coming under I jurisdiction, woa the respect- and esteem one citizens, and. we sincerely- regret the c currenceof this daring highway robbery.
