They are opposed to annexation, because It involves an imreaee of taxation on ihnr part. To what exteni their private interest ii concerned, will appear from the following data, hich I rthtine,i from the Auditors' o3ioe. For tbe last six years the rate of taxation in Montgomery township, Franklin county, hae been about one-half of the rate of taxation in thf eitTof Columbui. Zh tAi duplicate of our county shows, that flatlet 15 at the head of Mound street, in the city of Columbus, is appraised at sJ,ucot or $700 per acre, while outlots 82 and 83, just opposite, but outside of the corporation line, are appraised at 5W) per acre.

If the question of annexation li maae ae-pendent on his assent and the assent of other residents of contiguous territory similarly situated, then no city or town will ever have a chance to extend it corporation line.

It assumes, ia theouts-it, that England has bees, for some time past, seeking a pretext of quarrel with the Northern states, and that, intensely disappointed at tae sarreuier of the Rebel Commiseioaers, sh is now endeavoring to found her tiv.u beu upon the stone blockade of Charleston barb jr. fa this couaection, it revert to the recent ikh revolt ia India, and after briefly sketching the military rigors in Hided by British armies upon the insurgents, pertinently asks how England would have liked an Amoiicaa recognition of Hena Sahib. An article ia the Morning Post, urging an intervention to stop tbe American struggle, is made tne taemt or satire and re-buko, and the journal ia question is, with its compeers of the same cpialoas, exhorted to lay aside the transparent mask of hypocrisy, beneath which they declaim about the rights of humanity, barbarous proceedings, t cetera, a ad noaeii'.y avows tbe true secret of their wrath, vis . the need of cotton. 'Let England," says tbe Opinion Natioaale, "rush into an unjust war against America, if sae sees nt; it wiu be a great mtetortun for the wr.ole world, bjt of which the responsibility will, after all, rest only on herself. But what occasion us a feeling of much greater chagrin i the hap opealy enunciated by a portion of tbe teDgtiBb press, uiair ranee may taie tne in itiative ia recognizing tne boum, and tnus extract the chestnut from the fire for Bngland, Oa this aid of the Channel, too, olicial journ al allow an ill-concealed weakness for th South t peep out, from time to time, anJ, indeed, it ia muttered ia under tones, very sub due as yet, taat trance cannot ho.d back In tbi matter, from acting ia coacert with Eag- aad.' Avawing his doubts until be shall sae the fact, the writer goes oa to seout at the idea of Franc leading herself to projects that must redound to her -awn danger. To enfeeble the marine power of the United State would be to a treag then th great aaval preponderance of EagUad enormously, and France would b laughed at and triaed wua by ner rival wnen tada was done. Th refusal to destroy the remnant of the Butaiaat fleet at Cnnetadt ia 1809 wo wise ia Franc, and groatly disappointed ber deer, going ally. This attack upon Amohca would bo th reverse of that policy, r lacing Franc between a folly and a weakneee, enabling Britain again to talk of making her "paw through tht eyt of noedie," aad of llevetping French power from the Mediterranean.'' The writer bene de-duoee th certainty that oon-iaterfereno ia th wish of th 00 usury, which deire t )ooo- aii its blood and treaaur for nobler aad more pratiaal aterprije. The article thus terminates- "ft ia out of the ejuestiam to suppose that th Oorarameat itself, that M. Fould in particular, does aot feel the aeceooity of a reaction against th tendencies indicated, n ow, to return to our starting point, ainee it is clear that th inter vention of France in the affairs of America would b not only melees but iojuriao, aad might load to th gravest ooneequaneee, we feel oonviaced that the English Press will have It trouble for it pain, that our own official Pre as will bav wasted its Latin, aad that Franco will aot depart from th attitude of neutrality which her fiaoaoial oonditioa recommends and which, at the same tin, accords with th moat widely extended interests of her national policy." 8riti Tiie last advices from Spain go to show that the Confederacy ia held ia detesta tion among the Spaniard. Touching the state ment that if war with England should occur England would demand that Spain recognise the Confederates the Iberia aaya : By what right can England or any other Power require Spain to acknowledge the independence of the Southern States.' Is Spain in a condition of dependence on England that we moat share in it rancors and strifes, aid give ourselves entirely to it interest.' Tbe Spanish Government knows what ia due to it patriotism and its dignity, and will, in no event, pass beyond the strict neutrality it has determined upon, a well ia the intestine diffi. culti of the United State as la what may hip pea with EneUmi. En olind The London Herald denounce tbe intervention of England in the affairs of America and Mexico, laying, " We protett agtinet thie tnoit M-iudaid intervention, from which no poteible benefit con rttult to England or wifiMtton. We shall b dragged through the mire at the tail of Franc and Spain, and have to pay imartly for i all the dirt wa ar compelled to ewallow." 1 from tbe London Iiati.j Tli arrival of Maiir. Mason and Slidell is a matter of but little importance. The notion of the two Governments ia not likely to be influenced in the smallest degree by the representations of those two geatlemen. They will be ob ject of a little curiosity, and nothing more. 'they will, probably, witu tne good sense which has distinguished their section of the American people since the war began, keep themselves uiotisness and boasting af the North, may pos sibly be abandoned ia favor of a more aetive policy: but to yield to tch a temptation would be the greatest mistake that the Cod fed era tee could make.
