Once or twice daily the carriage containing Mrs. Yerger, tho two daughters, young ladies of thirteen and fifteen, and one or two young children, may he e?on driving through the camp to the prison? er's quarters, bringing creature comforts to him. The privilege appears to have been ?bused, and whiskey and money bave been con? veyed to him. He is not now permitted to re? ceive anything from outside, and is confined strictly to army rations.

Three steam tugs, it seems, were chartered to convoy the men to the Lower Bay, wbile two provision laden schooners had preceded them. The tugs cur? ried about two hundred men, half of whom were Cubans, .be remainder were New Yorkers, chiefly Irishmen, all Of whom had served in the late war either as officers or privates. Among the Cubans was Charles Mayer, who fought the celebrated Spanish duellist. Pepe Halla, cf New Oilcans, on the 9th ot last ?Eay. While the tugs were waiting in tbe bay, the expected steamer was captured by the United States authorities. Tbe officers on board the tilge cruised around until their provisions gave out and then pat into New London, where they learned what had happened and deeided to return to New York. Soaroely had they ?hanged front, however, before the revenue cutter Motoning appeared and they wnre tafeen into custody. ?moa* the articles found on the tugs was a bundle of Cuban bonds, with which the volunteers were to be paid. -The robbery of the Ocean Bank is still the sensation in New York, but there is little or nothing really new to add to the facts already given. It waa stated by . some ot the papers thai the porter of the bank bad tbe combina? tion of the lock to the outer door of the vault. This is positively denied by the officers of the bank, who say that only the president and one other officer ever bad any knowledga of the com linaiiou. It is also said that the report that the key of the inner door of tho vault was tarming OD the lintel is wholly false. Some light is obed oa tho question of the safety of the combination tcok In use by the operation of aa expert locksmith of New York. This person called at the bank OD Tuesday and of? fered to pick tb combination look on the oater door, if penn liston were granted him to operate. The door was thereupon locked, the combination being known only to the pr?si? dant, and, euro enough, the locksmith did .open it, and with comparative facility. This Jock has two hundred numbers oa the dial, thus allowing for millions of combinations. Hitting upon the exact conjunction of qom ber? by which the iock may be opened (the changes therein belog made at the will of th? party who looks the door.) may, therefore, be set down as a simple impossibility; but that there is S pian by which this seeming difficulty may be overcome without injuring tho lock, is? mide fully apparent, both from the operations of tho burglars as well ss from the undeniable proof of that fact given bj the locksmith re? ferred to. ' That pontleman said that the rsnoons bj which tho unlocking is done are so janela that ho could, in flf .con minutes'time, teach any person of ordinary capacity how to perform tho opera: ion. That the bm glare who entered tl e Ocean Bunk wore cognizant of thia moans admits no doubt; in fact, the man uer in which tho robbery was accomplished, from beginning to end, shows that the parties engaged in it were thorougly trained in every particular of their nefarious business, and were possessed of far moro than ordinary ex? pertness at their unlawful trade. -A co-operative farm of over ten thousand acree has recently been established by tho Mar? quis do BoisBiore, a French gentleman of ample means, and an ardent disciple of Fourier. The foundor of this establishment intonda to spend two of tbreo years in plant-mar aud improving thc farm, erecting large dwellings and manu? factories, before inviting persons of similar views to join him. Alargo number of labor? ers aro now engaged m the preliminary work of establishing a "phalanstery," and the Mar? quis is now living with them, in a rough frame houso, in backwoods style. Do Boissiere has embarked his whole' fortuno, amounting at tba lowest estimate to .$1000,0d0. iu this beneVo lout enterprise, and has mido a will, giving $100.000 to his relativos, and vesting the re? mainder in trustees to cirry out his plans. Although a follower of Fourier, the Marquis . de Boissiere does not approve of the wild sobemos of that philosopher, and is in favor of preserving social institutions as they' exist. De Boissiere, it is staled, is an eminoutly practical man, was ?ducat od at a Polytechnic school in France, and has heretofore boen engaged in managing his eBb&len, comprising three thousand acres ot laud near Bordeaux. ''Commuoism" is not approved of, and every man and woman in the Sottlemont must earn a separate living. Tbe institution forming a model of the Kansas colony is the "family" at Guise, near St. Quen? tin, in the east of France. At Quise, a family houso bas been established, where all the members, mostly working people, cheapen their living by outing at a corrirnon teble-4he saving bsing effected by purchasing food at wholesale, and cooking it in large quantities. En tho vicinity are farms and workshops; owned by tho society and. under the supervision ?of managers selected from the community. Ap? plicants for admission most produce oatis Paotor evidence of sobriety and industry, and pay a email initiation fee. Apartments are furnished to the members, who have the privilege of using a library. The children tnuat be sent to school for a certain number of Fears, Ordinary money is not allowed-the >oly currency being checks issued by: the society. . : - : ._? 1 . CHARLESTON. ? i j i i 9 MONDAT MORNING, JULY 5, 1869. Tata NEWS is published every day ia tho rear except Sunday, and will appear as isual to-morrow (Tuesday) morning. ?hall the Statte Taxes he Paid T The people of the State are indignant .hat the taxable value of their property should have been doubled and trebled with? out any sound reason ; and in more than one county there is a disposition to try the question, whether the sworn statement of the property-holder is not a better evidence of the true value Of Ms property than the arbitrary decision of a Board of so oall?d Equalisation, having its sessions in Colum? bia. The State constitution declares (arti ole 1, section 36) that ?all property subject to taxation aboil be taxed in proportion to its value," and the tax low of 1868 provide! (section 48) that " all real and personal property shall be valued for taxation at itt true value in money, which, in all oases not otherwise specially provided for in this sot, shall be held to be the usual Meiling pri?e ol similor property at the plaoe whore th? return is to be made." Under this 4*to< ;lause the sworn returns were made to th? listriot assessors. They ware than exam' ned by the . State B o ard of Equalisation, who added a total amount of $49,046,068 t< o tho returned val?a of the real property tiona. This addition presses upon tho differ int oounties with very unequal weight Ca Orangeburg, for instance, the revise? issessment is three times the origins issessment ; in Kershaw and Marion twiee tad in Chesterfield and Edgefield ona and t lalf times. In soma eases, lands had un loubtedly been given at less than the: ntrinsio value, but it is very qaestionabl whether any returns of consequence war nada at less than the price whioh the prc perty would then have sold for in ope: narket. The worth of the thing is what i will bring, and it was not incumbent upo: he holder to assess his property at on tent more than its market price, howers ow that price might be. And, besides, i ray returns were improperly made, who ustioe is thara in taxing a whole oonnt, 'or the shortcomings of one man or te nan ? The whole action of the State Boar >f Equalisation was tyrannical and arbi rary. Tyrannical, beosase they too advantage of the terms of an inoomprehei lible law to doubla and treble tba amour ?f taxation ; and arbitrary, because tba made their additions by role of thuin! liaving no means Of deoidiug whether th returns bad, indeed, bean fraudulent! nada. The effect of this "equalisation most be disastrous. Men who bad laid b enough to pay taxes on $6000, the tn raine of their property, now find themselvi jailed upon to pay taxes on $10,000 if the liva in Kershaw or Marion, and on $15,0C if they live in Orangeburg. This is enoug 0 daunt any people, however indue tr ?us, and it is not surprising that moi than one of the eounty papers advist tnei readers to resist the payment of taxes, o io refuse to pay upon more thea the orig aal assessment of their property. In so serious a matter the people will n tot without deliberation and rtfleotios. ?1 ire in tba hands of a godless oraw wi lave no interest in the general welfare he State, and who would find room for pr 1 table jobbing in any movement whit night lead to the sale af large traste and under tax executions. A square ai >pen resistance te tho collection of taxes my kind would probably bring tba Rad lalo to their sansas, bat ?bi? eanstot bs ha Ff hat is now naadad is to test tba legali if the notion of the State Board of Equi xation, and this can surely bs dons, Nor should we hesitate to avail ourseiv >f all tba trioka and turns of tho law ridding ourselves Of an unjust tex. Ti ax law (section 96) say* that all tax 'shall be payable, annually, on or befo he first day of Marok after their aase? amt." lt was intended io make th? asset a? ment early in the year, so thai th? tax?? might ba due bj Maroh 1st of tko present year. Bat the aasesament wa? not mada until late ia May last, and tho taxe* under tho law, are not du? until Maren, 1870. There oan be no enforcement o? a penalty, no distraint, no salo of property for taxes, until the taxes are duo, and wo should like to know under what seo lion of tho tax law the Treasut?v8 0Bn compel the taxe* to be paid up at onoe. Thia Ia a matter worthy of consideration, for <tw of U8 are 80 ena. mored of our Radioal ru,,, aa j0 desire to pay taxes any earlier than "e aPe obliged to do so. The whole question, however, resv? with the people of the different, .counties. ISo agitation will be of raine unless it be gene* ral and oontinued. A flaBh in the pan will be worse than useless, but the people eas, if they so desire, defer the payment of their taxes until the last moment, and in the meanwhile determine quietly whether a flat refusal to pay tho taxes aa they now aland, is the best course to pursue* Th? Immigration (lueatlon. A convention has been called to meet in Memphis, on Tuesday, the 18th instant, for the special encouragement of Chinese Im? migration. It will be composed Of dele? gates from all parjta of the South, particu? larly from Georgia, Alabama, Mississippi, Louisiana, Arkrnsaa and Tennessee- It is expected, moreover, that Koopmanshaaf, one of the principal Chinese contractors at San Francisco, who has already brought fifty thousand of his country men to America, will be present at the convention, and will unfold his plans for organising a mighty Boheme of direct immigration to the South. This State ia oertainly aa much interested as any one of her neighbors in procuring laborers for the low country, and our rice and long cotton planters would do well to be represented in the convention. This bight give shape to a movement which, in South Carolina, has, so far, neither head nor tail- ; " ,? --:-. ? ? .,-> .?? . .. ; Th? Tax Qtaestion. The Columbia Phoenix publishes a lotter to Governor Scott, la which Some taxpay? ers say : "AB ? number of persons ara ..complaining of the assessment of taxes "made in the State, and of the amount en "tailed by said assessment ; and, also, as "many taxpayers complain and desire to "know by what means a remedy for thia "apparent evil may ba obtained, we deem "it a duty to respectfully apply to you to "ascertain what course would be beat to "pursue to secure redress." The Spartanburg Gazette aaya that ? peremptory order has been received from the State Auditor to deduct from the assess mont of; real and personal property the amount which had been added. The amount added by the State Board was 100 per cent. If the deduction can be made in one oounty, why not in every county ?
