The Savannah Daily Herald. SATURDAY, AUGUST 19. 186S. State Taxes and Tax Collector*. The Macon Telegra]* learns that since the proclamation of our provisional governor, directing the civil officers of the State to proceed to certain duties, the comptroller general has issued a circular to the tax col lectors of this State who are in arrears, in forming them that while they will not pro ceed. until further orders from said office, to collect any more tax from the tax-payers for the year 1864, yet that when said collectors have funds in hand that they have already collected they will immediately, or as early as possible, send all said money to the State treasurer, accompanied with an affidavit, swearing that the amount sent is all the money he has collected from the tax-payers of his-couniy, after deducting the commis sions of the receiver and and after deducting also such amount as may have been already paid into the State treasury. Th? collector is also required to swear that he has not exchanged with any one State treasury notes for Confederate treasury or other notes, except in making the usual change with tax-payers in the payment of their taxes. As the objects of the comptroller are to settle up these accounts as far as collections have been made v and especially to get in all the State notes that have beeh paid in for taxes, and these notes will not be used again, to avoid the unnecessary and useless expense to collectors in being compelled to bring t bis money immediately to Milledgeville, the comptroller suggests that if these officers cannot conveniently send this money and af fidavits to the treasurer at Milledgeville, be fore the assembling of the convention in Oc tober, that they will not fail to send the same by one of their delegates to that convention at that time. Cotton in Egypt—£o,ooo,ooo Cost in the Decline of Price*. (Correspondence of the l’all Mall Gazette.) I have just returned from a ten days’ tour in the villages, and send you the resnlA of my observations and inquiries on the state of the cotton interests in Egypt, as affected by the late reduction of the price in that sta ple—that is to say by the prospective cheap ening of calico by 2d or 3d a yard to this cus tomers, and the loss to the producers and collectors ol the raw staple in bulk. I find the portion of the crop of 1864-5 yet in the villages to be variously estimated from one sixth to one third of the whole, though all seem to think, that there cannot be less in the villages unpinned than kantais (of 9 b. En glish weight,) 400,(MX); supposed to be held in Alexandria, 300,000; assumed to he held in England, for Egyptian account, 300, 00<i; total kantars, 1,000,000 affected by the tall, of about £5 per kantar—which will repre sent a loss, on the value of one million kau- Tals, of £5,000,000. Add to this the correla tive loss to the parties of dishonored bills, etc., at least A'1,000,000, Total anticipated losS on Egyptfiui accouut, £6,000,000. And I have met more than one person of experi ence who judges this to be an underestimate. NO one who has not visited the interior of the Delta can have any adequate idea of the new kind of industry which the late high price for cotton has developed. The cotton is now all cleaned by gins, which, by the best systems, clean five hundred pounds of cotton in twenty four hours. Iu practice great attentiou is required at the gins, for the machinery js not nearly so simple as one might suppose. The fellah girls have, how ever, shone such aptitude tor the work, that they hardly come behind our own faeUrn girls. 1 was surprised to find that they per ceived at once when anything went wrong with the gin ; and what astonished me still more was the jealousy manilested when one hand turned out a larger quantity than the rest. In such cases, those who were in ar rears would often cry with vexation. The prize of a silk kerchief, or some other article, bestowed weekly on the best worker, is the secret of this emulation. Moreover the wages paid are good. At one establishment where I remained several girls get fourteen piastres per day, and the night girls sixteen piastres (172 equaling £l.) In like manner boys ol twelve years old, working as bravely as English boys, ure get ting from ten to twelve piastres a day, at work, dependent on a steam engine; and as work must go on to keep pace with the en gine, the boys wont allow their companions to stop. I heard on 6 lad, who was working much harder than the others, lus tily against the latter in the true Oriental style: “There you are again, Mohammed, behind-hand, as usual —curse you ?” Another remarkably intelligent boy, who had been put to tend an engine, had taken so kindly to the task* that he generally addressed machine as if it bad been a favorite donkey. Grown up men were receiving from sixteen to thirty-four piastras a day, according to their skill and kind of work. Notwithstanding these high wages, and tire enormous charges by railway for coal and the transportation of produce to Alexandria, the well-managed factories are paying well • but it is a race in which inefficient manage ment is sure to be attended with loss,°as many an unfortunate man, who imagined that he had nothing to do but to buy au en gine and some gins, and get an engineer, has found to his cost. The system of advances to the fellahs has become very general, and it is estimated that there is not less than three millions sterling out in the villages, some however, on loan only at high interest. The stoppage in the demand for cotton has produced no little alarm umong the creditors lor these advances. Behind all this industry and development there lurks, unfortunately, an unworthy jealousy on the part of the gov ernment, which extracts labor by force without duly paying for it; aDd many are the ignoble tricks resorted to by. officers for getting clever tuen here and there out of the European factories. The Viceroy has already made several railroads by forced labor vaisr mg in length from three to five miles, for the sole benefit ot ms own estates. KEiaiLinsc. of Atlanta.—Th» Atlanta New Era, ot the 11th inst., says : The citizens are still displaying a great deal of activity in building up their houses Nearly the whole of Whitehall street is un dergoing the process of reconstruction. Life and energy is manifest on every hand The trowel is still making music by its steady click. The plane is whirring along the pol ished surface of the wood. Atlanta is reiu venating. She is putting on something of her old aspect. The tide ot busy population keeps up a continual flow. Everywhere you meet up with anxious speculators'. The cur rent of business is on the increase aud there is now no guessing what will be the condi 'tion of Atlanta one year hence. We notice a great many new and substan tial brick buildings going up.

An Indianapolis correspondent of the Cin cinnati Commercial says : A remarkable marriage occurred iu i-hfa city last week. A lady, made a widow some years since, was left a large amount of property, on Condition, expressed* in her husband's will, that she should marry again. Why this strange and unusual condition was imposed nobody knows. At any rate, in case she did marry, she was to enjoy the use ot the property during life, but on her deatli it would pass to other parties. She has ticen long sick with consumption, and finding her end approaching, she determined to marry, in order to secure the succession to her children. A return soldier, a com rade of her son, consented to play the role of husband in this singular marriage, and the lady, lying on the bed from which she will soon be carried to the tomb, made the responses in the presence of numerous wit nesses, who will testily that she was sound, of mind, and liecame a lawful wedded wife. The circumstances of this strange story are strictly true, just as I have narrated them. REIGN of terror IN MEXIC O. Americans Plundered mid Murdered—Outrage and Vandalism —Late from the Pacific Const The Prayer of Mexico, We were yesterday called upon by Captain E. Moore, a citizen of New Orleans, who gave us details of unusnsTTnterest with regard to matters in Mexico. In IS6I Captain Moore, then master of the ship Ashland, was wreck ed on the Pacific coast, and, with his wife and three children, took up his residence at Mazatlan, a Mexican city of about 17,»xx> in habitants. Just previously there had been a great influx of Americans and other foreigners to Mazatlan and that neighbor hood in consequence of the encouragement given by the Juarez Government, and a promise that bona fide settlers should not be subject to taxation lot a period of five years. The number that emigrated from California, under the Juarez decree, is estimated at 5,- 000. Some had engaged in cotton raising, some in mining, and others in merchandise. The combined interest of these new settlers is represented as very large. When the French invasion was announced, the Americans of course sided with the Lib eral party and formed themselves into mili tary companies in conjunction with the Mex icans. But the Mexicans, tiue tc their past history, could not agree among themselves. A local quarrel broke out among their chiefs. Governor Morales was obliged to abdicate and General Carony took possession of the city. Previous to that Governor Vega had been deposed. These local disagreements resulted in what then was regarded as a com plete reign of terror, and for four weeks there was a carnival of blood. The foreign element of the population, particularly Americans, were plundered and slaughtered in a most reckless manner. Finally the French fleet made its appearance one bright Saturday morning, at !• o'clock, and demand ed the surrender of the city. This was re fused by the party who, lor the time being, were iu power, and the French retired with a threat of bombardment if the surrender were uot made by a certain hour on the fol lowing day. During the night the Liberal foredh with drew, after giving up the city to plunder, and as there was no indication of a compli ance with the demand for a surrender of the place, the French, on the arrival of the hour designated, proceeded to pour shot and shell on the unresisting inhabitants Quite a num ber were killed—men, women, and children but at length the Prefect, accompanied by the Prussion Consul, approached the fleet with a flag of truce, and agreed to the French demand. Thereupon the French sent ashore a large body of marines, who formally took posses sion of the city. Shortly afterwards a Mexi can force, in’the Imperial service, command ed by a renegade half-breed of guerilla noto riety, named Lazado, came in and was quar tered amoDg the people as a provost guard. The previous reign of terror was now inten sified. Mexicans who refused to recognize the new order of things were shot down iu the streets like dogs, and foreigners who sided with the Liberals fared but little bet ter. Seizures, confiscations, and butcheries were every-day occurrences. Everything was demanded, and nothing paid for. None of the securities, none of the sanctities of life remained. Women were outraged und murdered. Persons and property were alike insecure. Martial law was proclaimed, and citizens were prohibited iroin appearing on the streets after the drum tap att) p. m., but this failed to check the rule of ruffianism and outrage, which, shielded by darkness, became more secure, directed as it was against dis armed inhabitants. Lazado, with the instincts and blood of a half-savage, played the tyrant as a whole one. Nothing was too small for his avarice; nothing too sacred for his beastliness. Among others who fell victims at this time were David Eaton, an American, connected with the mining interest, who, for resisting rob bery, was murdered ; Captain Frazer, from Illinois, and his two daughters— to tell their story would make the hair of the sensitive stand on end with horror—Mr. Stamford and eighteen companions, who were all robbed and murdered when travelling from Mazat lau to Durango, and hundreds ot others, the names of whom could not be remembered by our informant. Iu the course of four weeks Captain Moore was reduced from comparative opulence to beggary ; $15,000 in money wa#stolen from him, and $6,000, which his little son and a Mexican boy had found buried iu the earth, was also taken. The Captain Frazer above alluded to had established a cottou plantation at Presidio, and was doing well when lust rapine deprived him of his all. It is represented that in the battles be tween the Liberals and the Imperialists no prisoners are taken—no quarter is asked or given. War with them is vengeance in its direst form. The destruction of Acapulco, when that place was abandoned by the French, is said to have been an act ot entire vandalism. The whole city was turned into a ruin; every thing was destroyed, and desolation took the place of plenty.—A’, I’. Eventng 'Post, Pahdou Brokers. —The Washington cor respondent of the New York Times says: Among the new occupations or pursuits that have recently sprung up here is that of the pardon broker, or advocate. Those who come here to obtain the Executive clemency, especially such as have some money to spend, are soon beset by the “runners” of pardon advocates. These runners swarm about the hotels like flies around a collapsed barrel of molasses on a hot summer’s day, insinuate themselves into the society of the pardon seekers as they register their names, and lose no time in making it transparently clear that the way of the pardon-seeker is hards; that the process of obtaining a pardon is diffi cult, and that it is necessary that an advo cate be employed to prepare the petition and other papers. Besides, the runners repre sent that certain gentlemen, “ the advocates m whose interests they work, of course,” have the <uU, m at the White House and at he Attorney Generals office, and are in those places very influential individuals, and ex Pedite the process but induce the tavorabte action of the President, and so idL* >M tlUantlt £ and ‘l uuli iy, according to the advoc mf'-' ° f the Petitioner.

It has a fine hard smooth beach, seventeen miles long, affording a more charming drive than the celebrated Peach at NahAnt, Mass.* and as due sea ftathiug as at that place or Cape May. The House has over seventy large, airy rooms, and verandahs on three sides of all the stories; the furni ture is entirely new, and the tables will be I‘urnuhed with the best that can be procured here and in the Northern markets.
