The taxes assessed there are almost fabulous. City peddlers of cakes and pies pay a license of five dollars per month, and everything else is taxed proportion to this rate. There are none below this fig ore, and some., reach thirty dollars. If this place is to be taxed after this principle it will be a aiatiei- of some concern where the money is to come froui, and it will not be considered unwise people here adopt something like peddljng apples, pies, &c, to pay the tax for the privi ly of living. Newbern has been longer among. &e greenbacks than we, and if the rope choLes iteji our icopie had better yell out before it f-i tO:thera. , ' - . J v Horse Thief.

Richmond Corrwpondenc of the X. Y. ZlenkL) , . Richmond, Yx.r July 10, 1865. THE DECREE Or CONFISCATION GOXE FORTH. A Confiscation Deoartment haa bean rinlv inaugurated in this city under the auspices of T.-.A . TT 1 l -1. vuugo uuuctwbuu, who nis son as one of the cniei omcers. ah preliminaries in the work of confiscation were commenoed to-day by the seizure of the Twdegar Works, the prop erty of General JoseDh R. Anderson, and t&e service of notices upon the tenantry of other villous oi weaiin to pay no more rent to the parties irom wtoom they rented the property. Among these citizens I hare beard mentioned the names of Joseph II. and Wm. G. Creq- James n. Gram, wm. c. Haxalls, former propittors of the celebrated naxaii nour mills, and many others of the wealthiest citizens of Richmond. The Confis cation agents were engaged all day takiog descriptions of the property liable to confis cation and giving notices staying the payment vi icuh i,u ae repmeu owners, xms move ment was apprehended since the failure of the deputation from this city to induce the Presi Ant fA . w. WW (lanf in iL.'.iLLj iL. . -1 i. i Amnesty proclamation which excepts from uiuvLujr w uuneeaia oiause 01 nis paraon persons worth oyer twenty thousand dollars. It was suDDOsed at first that' this clause nad reierence only ta parties who held commissions in tne re Dei army above the rank oi coionei, or a corresponding rank m .the navy. . Now, however, the opinion seems to prevail that all persons in the confederacy not xnown to nave been loyal to the United States government are subject to this decree of confiscation. All seem now to concur in the idea that the agrarian policy is to be en I fnraA un . forced, and that a sweeping system of confis cation, which will embrace all classes owning over twenty thousand dollars' worth of prop erty, has been fully and finally determined upon with a view to the payment of the Northern debt, or as much of it as possible. The consequence is a perfect stagnation of all enterpnze m the way of rebuilding or lm proving house property. Fully three-fourths, if not. more, of. the lots included in the burnt district are liable to confiscation according to the principle which seems to be determined upon. That beiog the case, the city is des tined to continue in its present condition for a long time to come, unless the decree of con fiscation is promptly enforced and the'rights of property in this district finally determined. The confiscation list,' as I understand, em braces, among a series of other buildings in this city, the Spotts wood Hotel, the property of Joseph H. Crenshaw; the United States Hotel, the property in part of the Cabell family ; the Exchange Hotel, the property of .Lancaster & Son, brokers; the St. Charles Hotel, which was used as a hospital for a time by the rebel government, owned by a wealthy firm in this city : severa houses, th the property of Mr. William I C. Allen, a citizen of large wealth, and a large number ot other houses, a list ef which I will endeavor te send you by next mail.- " : . ": . ;. The city is in a state of considerable excite ment in consequence of this movement, and men who lately, esteemed themselves worth hundreds of thousands new look forward to a future of distress and poferty. Many regret that they had not sold out beiore this move ment was practically inaugurated. They have had many favorable offers, but refused to ac cept them from an idea that property would rapidly enhance under the influence of the large competition which bidSTair to arise within the next sir months' - Parties who have , already been pardoned are deeply con cerned about tbe fate of their property, the inference from the President's response to the Richmond delegation . leading to the impres- sion tne Dar(jon onlv remitted the ofl'ence of treason, leaving them liable to the penalties . . . .... decreed by the Confiscation act. It is very certain that ' but little sympathy is felt for many of thoso who are to abide this penalty, much of the property acquired being , the ac cumulations of a grinding system of specula- tios which "brought sorrow and suffering to many poor families. The day of retribution for these sharpers is evidently at hand, and it will be a severe one, judging, by the compre hensive character of the move ment which h been this day inaugurated, v - - Presidential Icurrion-Thie "WitutM ' UTelclitman Ciuused.TVltn Cowardice and FaJscHooa Ulra, Surratt Relaa of Sov, Itcliier- .

Jcalotuy and its Dcnouncemeut- A Woman Cut la Pieces by 'Another Woman -Probable j Case of murder. : - JFromthe Chicago Journal A terrible affair occurred ner the Post Qf- nce this alternoon. a woman havin? been tabbed six times by another woman, so fear- iuuy as so leave uiue or no hope of her re- covery. xne iacts are briefly as follows ; Miss Amelia Fransted, a young woman not oTer 25-years of age, was passing along upon the sidewalk in front of Reynolds' Block, just north of the Postoffice, when she was accost ed ty VI rs. Terhune, wife of Mathias Ter- hune, who reside3 at No. 229 North Wolcott- street, and, carries on a showcase manufacto ry at No. 6"3pearborrn-street, Mrs. Terhune requesting an opportunity to speak Vith Miss Fransted in private. The latter acceded to the request and accompanied the former up stairs into mesccona story ot Keynolds7 lilock. As soon as they had reached the public corri dor, Mrs' Terhune drew a knife and stabbed Miss Frap.sted, followmft ut her work with bloodthirsty fury, cutting-, slashing and stab- Ding unui ner vieum leu neadionor down the stairs and oat upon the sidewalk, where she was picked up by the passers by and oonveyr ed into a drug-store. " . ' Meanwhile Mrs. Ternhune quietlr but rap idly retreated by way of the Madison-street entrance, unobserved by the crowd that gath ered about the bleeding woman at tlio Dear born-street entrance to the building. r y The wounded woman, scarcely able to ar ticulate, was carried up stairs to Dr. Rey nold's office, where her wounds are now being examined and dressed. Of these there are no. less than six deep flesh outs. The first blow struck into, the left eye, entirely destroying that organ, and terribly mutilating the eye lids. Another stab directed at the neck, en tered the throat at its base. Another, about two inches . higher, and directly in front, pierced the windpipe through and through penetrating far back in the neck. Another blow with the knife inflicted a long,, ghastly gash under the left cheek, laying bare the jaw bone, while Upon the left shoulder there are two other similar wounds. The physi cians state that there is very little probabili ty thaj the woman will recover. . From an occasional word or two, dropped at intervals by the mutilated woman, we learn that the assault was prompted by jealousy. She states that Mrs. Terhune has been ieal- ous of her for a long time, but whether with or witnout cause was not stated. &ne nas resided with the Terhune family, she states, and Mrs. Terhune was jaJ ways jealous of Mr. Terhune's attentions. Miss Fransted was, just previous .0 the en counter, boarding at K6r o30 State street. She has a sister in . Cleveland, where she formerly resided ; and has a married sister, Mrs. Capt Henry Bush, in La Salle, 111. She says she has no relations or friends in Chicago. As regards personal appearanoe, the wound ed woman, though by no means beautiful, is still of very comely appearance,; and is the possessor ot a form and figure, that ' every body would pronounce attractive. As before stated, her age is net far from 25. Mrs. Terhune is doubtless in custody ere this. Justite T. B. Brown is taking the wounded woman's deposition. HAVA5A.

We recite thiii awful story as we heard it A farmer sold hie farm to three men, who! gave him $15,00O: cash in part payment In the evening he walked to London, leaving his wife and child , at home. Some time after, a. peddler wno had often stayed all night at the house drora un and asked nermission to remain, but the farmer's wife declined, because it was dOubt-j ful if her husband roturned that night, and . . she knew there was a large amount of money; in the house, ane remarked to tne peaoicr that if her husband returned he would pro bably meet him. The peddler drove on, met the farmer, and returned With him. ' As they aDDfoached the house the farmer obserred i light in a room in which he usually kept hli ' papers, and remarked to toe peddler ,tnaxk there were burglars in the bouse. The fed. dler produced a pair oft reyolvers, and tbf two, stationing themselves at points wnera the burglars would probably, attempt to es cape." they gave the alarm,- and three men- rushed out. The peJdler killed two of them, . when the third ran towards the farmer, who. killed him. Upon entering tho bouse the farmer was horrified to find his wife and child murdered. When ' the bodies of the , murderers were examined it was discovered ' that they were the parties who had parchased the farm that day. and one of them brother in-law to the farmer.
