J. L M Curry, of Alabama, Is with the Army of Tennessee, as a Coturaisi-ioner to look into arrests of civilians near this army, who, by the late law, will not have the right 0-f habeas corpui. Was there no Georgian to be found supple enough to Qll this office? Or is It deemed neces sary to put all of Georgia's sons, wijo are wil ling “to bow the knee to £aal," into some military position in order that they might, to use the language of one who holds bitch a place, “spike Hie guns’’ of the defenders of State righis and civil liberty ? We are of the opinion that any civilian ar rested by military authority in Georgia, will • have the right of the wtit of habeas corpus, if he sees fit to demand it, as long as Gov. Brown controls the destinies of this Commonwealth. The advocates of a central government _ must be exceedingly careful In their unconsti tutional graspings after undelt-gated powers, n it to tresspass upon the rights or liberties of any citizen of this Stato. Gov. Brown lias t iken his stand by the Constitution, and will maintain it. lie is not the titan tp be intimi dated; nor is he the man to back down when ho is convinced he is In the right. There is r.o and mbt as to the correctness of his position ; neither is there any doubt as to the feelings of his constituents. They will sustain him iu his course. Confederate officials knotA full well what his policy will be if the 1 burly of any citizen of Georgia is infringed upon in the litilst. Knowing this, they will alone be at fault If any collision occurs between them and the hi fate authorities in regard to the suspension of the writ of habeas cot pus. In conclusion, wo will simply say, that the appoiutmeut of a Confederate Commissioner ,ln Georgia, “to look into tire arrests of civil ians who will not have the right of haffeas eorpus,’’ is a perfect farce. It is a mighty soft place for some favorite to occupy, with a good salary and nothing to do. Expenses are not to be taken into consideration, however, as the dear people foot the hills, when they pay their taxes. , An Imi%ktant Duty to be Aitended to Accounts from nearly eveiy section of the Con federacy represent huge piles of Government fodder, corn, nn<\ oilier articles collected by t id tithing tax, becoming utterly worthier on a/oount of the criminal carelessness with which they have been stored away. Those whore duty it is to see to these matters, in some localities, have paid uo attention to them at all. In many Instances the government prop ody lies tor days and weeks just where it was put by the tax payet— exposed to wind and weather. It is time stops should ba taken to hold to a proper responsibility those who are charged with tho duty of preserving government pro duce. It Is impossible to estimate the waste that has resulted through tho indifference and carelessness of agents. Something ought to h \v« l>eeu done long ago to put a stop to this great evil. Millions of dollars worth of gov ernment property has been, wasted ; and tue waste will continue to go on uuiee* checked. The fact is, the iault lies here. Tho appoint ing powers instead of putting capable, practi cal men into places of trust and responsibility, have filled a great majority of them with idle, 1 lofticieut, inexperienced favorites—men who nsver did do anything, or who are too lazy to and.» anything if they knew bow--ln order to keep them out of the amiy. As long as tho people suffer outrages of this kiud to go ou anrebukud, they must expect to see corrup t’on and fraud in high places ; and must also expect to pay millions of dollars in <hu shape of taxes that could he saved to tho country, if affairs were managed in a more busi ness like way and with less unjust preference. The people should look into these matters now, and demand that a different policy be adopted at Richmond. By-and by it will be too late. Delays are dangerous. It is mud ness to stand still on the brink of a precipice when we see by unfailing signs that.wo shall be plunged into the chasui, uulet,* wo adopt m*asurcs to prevent it. The Point where Dskkscks should be tub Strongest. — it seems to be the general opinion that the Yankee commander is concentrating a large force on the Potomac, with a view of making another movement against Richmond. This may be true. But it certainly would be well for our authorities to him closely The capture of our capital might produce, a greater moral effect aTiroad thau the capture of any other point. But we have nothing to ex pect ftorn abroad. The sympathies of the world are already with our enemy. Wo should look well to those points, the cap ture of which would most seriously injure us. The enemy, with little regard to the public sen timent of Europe, are resolved no doubt to strike where we will most feel it. ibe capture of Richmond, while it would lie a serious blow to the Confederacy, would not impair her strength so much as would the downfall of At lanta. Richmond would secure to them valu able military works, and the reundiyler of the Butt* —which, of course, should be defended to the last extremity. The fall of Atlanta, on the other hand, would in a short time, give him great portions of Georgia, Alabama. Florida and South Caroliua, —a fatal blow, perhaps, it would be ts> theCon t.xieiacy. The consequences to our cause would be more deplorable than the fall of any other point. Both Richmond and Atlanta should be defended at all hazards. Let us save cutr capi . tallfwocHii; but let us also put Atlanta In such a state of defence that it cannot be cap tured. Oar foe is a wily one, and his laie movements may be a mere feint to throw us oft' our guard and to draw the greater part of our force to Virginia, that he may the more easily obtain the ‘‘Gate City,” which has, we know, for a long time. I’een the goal of his ambition. (.VmVATU'.v or Tot oon..—The journal* of the country can do no better service *to the Confederate cause than keep before the peo ple the vital importance of this subject. Eve ry energy of the people should be devoted to production. Every resource that experience, ingenuity and practical skill can suggest should be tested to the utmost to produce food for man and beast. The men who cultivate the soil compose an army not inferior in impor tance to that which Is in the field. They should spare no paiue in the performance of tbeii du ty. If one crop rails, try another. We should be glad to see our scientific agriculturists giv ing their attention to this subject, and publish such hints, suggestions, and advice as will be of use In increaeiug aud divers tying produc tlon. * | Gov Du.*.. _ nu'.rcse in Atlar'r on Sunday tvetaug in bebntt of ihe edneath 1 of soldiers’ orphans He offered to giv< •is ■alary fo> tt>s yesir and also work for the ca se In every way possible. About S4oOOO na subecril-ed on the occasion We are glad tha this noble cause has such an active and ener getic supporter. i A.v AosciMiTSa-rioSi Decision.—Judge Haiy burton.of the Confederate States District Court, at Itichinocd, has delivered a long opinion sus taining constitutionality of the act sus pending the writ .f habeas corpus. His decis ion however, does not make the act any more constitutional. It only shows that he is gov erned by the same cringing spirit that perva ded the last Congress. Any ten year old cchool boy who has read the history of his country knows the act suspending the writ of habeas c .rpua is unconstitutional. Every unbiassed and unprejudiced free thinking man it well awar of the same faot. And all the decisions Oi Judge Halyburton, or any other Judge, no matter woo he is or what bis name may be, cannot cn ke a wrong act right. The people, the power, Lave decided the act referred to was a detestable one, and the honied words or fklsa and specious sophistry of ten thousand pam pered officials cannot eradicate from th ■ public mind the well founded idea that their liberties have been assailed and are in danger. Judge Ualyburton may flatter himself into the belief that he baa done a big thing, but he will find all his efforts in the eauae of error will amount to just nothing.* The m-to of alarm has been sounded by Gov. Brown, Vijo President Ste phens, and others, and the country will not al low tselr to be bound with th* shackles so art- fully prepared. "The Lib-rty of the fifteen and the ftighte of th' States’* is no#the watch word. Such men as Ualyburton might as well retire into private life. Their services are uoi needed in a liberty-loving country. It does appear as if some Confederate J udge* are de sirous of tuking a higher seat on the history page in the realms of infamy than Jeffreys and others figured on the public stage in days gone by. The Kind ok 6tatk.ime.ji roil Waii Tiub.— Macaulay, in speaking of the influence the speeches and acts of the elder Pitt had on the minds of the people and soldiers of England during a war, remarks thus: The national spirit rose to the emergency that the national resources were contributed with unexampled cheerfulness. This was un doubtedly iiis work. The ardor of his spirit had set tht whole kingdom ou fire. It inflamed every soldier who dragged the cannon up the heights of Quebec ; and every sailor who boarded the French ships amidst the rocks of Brittany. Before lie had l>een long in office, lie imparted to the commanders he employed his own impetuous, Adventurous and defying character. They, like him, wore disposed to risk everything to pay double or quits to the last, to think nothing done while anything re mainel—to fail rather than not attempt. For errors of rashucss there might be indulgence. For over caution—for faults like those of Lord George Sackville, there was no mercy. Ver sellles was appalled and bewildered by hU vig 'or. A panic spread through all ranks of French society Our enemies soon considered it a settled thing that they were always to be bealen Thus victory begot victory; till, at last, wherever tho forces of the two nations met, they met with disdaiuffil confidence on the one side, and with a craven fear on the other. Would that, we had men of such a spirit in our national legislative bfftls. With a states man of that stamp to gu.de our national af fairs, “a battle would bo half won beforo fought.’’ Oppressed indeed is a people who are demoralized and dispirited by the acts of Ua-ir national legislators. Who, while they are endeavoring to free themselves from tho ty ranny of a foreign fob, are also rebuke and resist tho despotic acts of those within their borders wfco are doing their utr most to trample under foot the very liberties for which they are lighting. Mechanics.— Every skUtful artisan, what ever blanch of the mechanical thi-y uny pursue, cau render more available service "to their country in the workshop than iu the field jjThff Lincoln Government understands this fully, and are offering extra luduconiehti "to secure mechanics. Lock at th • deplorable condition of oar rail roads and other interests aid o tlie mechanic Two many of our skill ul arti zans have alieudy been pit in the army Facts pro'te this. And instead of dragging in to the i auks the few which remain out, onr of fii iuls ougm to detail hundreds who are now in the field. Thy truth is, for the past few mouths we have been pursuing a most suicidal course in re gard to the producing and the mechanical portions of the community. The last Con gres#did m no to injure our cause, than Lin coin with his , numerous armies has boeu able to do for a year prev ous. We trust the new Congress will have some members who are possess and of a little common sense, and wtio also have moral courage enough to stand up for right and not acquiesce in a wfoijg for the sake of expediency. It it should prove o be composed of he same mv ■ Wrial as the last, all wu can say is “God have mercy oy us ass- nation.” The SriiUMiTY or Federal Imprcdesce.— The Now York Times iu alluding to our cur ency reform remarks U 111.1: •‘Our Government can practice no such re pud'at ug shifts as the rebel Government is now essa\ iug There it- too much princMe yet let in the Northern people to tolerate national turpitu le of that sort.” We saw it stated a few days ince * there is sc ucely a hom. in the. North “in official cir cles” that is not adorned with furniture, pianos, plate and jewelry ->to!en from people of th# South ; and it is a notoiious fact charged by some of their own presses, that Butler while in New Orleans, acti g under “national’’ au thority, stole, enough money, plate jewels, fur- niturc, &c., item the innocent families in that wealthy city, to freight several vessels to Bos ton, and lhat the wealth which lie has thus acquired exceeds tl at of all the treasure ever seized by pirates on the seas. But that is mere ly private stealing and robbery. There is no ‘‘national turpitude” ia that—in the opinion of Yankee judges. Promotion' or Brig. Gkn\ Hoke. —Brig. Gen. Hoke, who was in command of the forces that captured Plymouth, has been made a Maj<fr General by President Davis. He is a native of North Carolina. This is a good deed, and one which will meet with universal approval. We hope this kind of policy will be the one adop ted hereafter. It valor and bravery bad been made the ba sis for promotion - rom the first, Instead of fa voritism aud influence, our army would be much better officered than It now is. A Movement in the Right Direction. —The General Agent of the Produce Loan is institu ting a careful examination into the condition of Government Cottons, provisions, produce stored in various districts of the South. ' per sons h ivh g charge of the same are to be held all damage aud cost resulting from insecure shelter, or neglect otherwise. Cotton left cn abandoned plantations is to be removed to secure locations, and properly cared for. To secure the obse.vance of these .requirements, sub agents will be required to* make regular and frequent reports in detail. Deith or Judge Thomas—We are pained to be called upon to announce the death of Judge Thomas W. Thomas, ot Elbert county. He died at his residence in Elberton, on Sunday night last. His health for some time has been failing, although his friends did not deem his ■ condition dangerous. Jndge T. was a staunch friend of civil Ulasriy. and an able defender of the rights of the State The cause of right cn I fiet-dom has lost one of its most firm and influential fhampiens Yanie alvicvetto.u ic-xx-i epreser.t mat ters uucl an-ed, with no prospect tor a cam pagn. New Orleans papers say that Matamoras was captured oy the French without a fight, Llbkktt ut Aaer.icA—S'ECßßtarr or React.— An interesting lecture was delivered on the night of the 14th, at Cooper Inst tute, New York city, by Dudley Spring, bis subject being "Liberty in America;’’showing the necessity of peace. We make the following extract : The independent political existence of the country had its birth in certain central princi ple* ciearly defined. Well understood among them aie t e following : Government is for j the benefit of the people, •and not the people for the ben'-fit of The only just and solid font datioa tor all government is, the consent of the guvermd. When a govern ment fails to promote the happiness of a peo ple, that people Lave the right to change it. These principles we h„ve ass rted to be truths, and tueir usseition we have sustained at a great cost We cannot go baok on our precedent or do anything contrary to tt without moral in- Oonsi.-ttncy and injustice. It the primiples are erroneous then tva* the Revolution ot ’7G a crime—f a crime, all that followed was with out right, and there can be no remedy to main tain it. Besid -s, one must not profit by his own wrong. If, on the oilier hand, the prin ciples are correct, it is a still greuter crime to dispute and contest them, or to deny their ef fect and operation because we do bo advisedly and/*ith the price in our hands Whpn we deny them we slander the title to our existence a* a nation, ana defame those from w-ioin w. derived tho inheritance. It is our duty, in all h -nesty and honorable dealing n tto straiten these principles in sense or ap plication— not to throw them aside as gar incuts that have served tlieir purpose,seen their day ; but to hold them in veneration aa pre servers of our liberty, the bulwarks of the na tiou. the hop** of inankiod. A despot born and nurtured is not without excuse ; but a freeman become ad spot Las none. Nature abhors the fcouster, and will not suffer it lang to live. Decency, if not conseL uce, forbid a selfish and partial application of these laws in which we have our political being—forbid that we should invoke them in our own behalf or deny them when in behalf of others. It is our duty to s.iow that this nation was established, not in selfishness, but in right. We rushed to rebellion ns a virtue ; let us denounce tyranny, whatever shape it may assume, ns a crime. The right to i elf government is not the right to choose our government, but any government. The right of communities to choose tlieir own government is not exclusive in them—in dividuals have the same right. The individual exercises his right by the only course in which it can be made eflective. He migiates. A political community or State gives effect to its choree, not by any change of locality, that weuld be clearly impossible, but by changing its political relation. Had these sentiments prevailed, we would not have pres ented to the world a phenomenon of inordinate ambition proceeding from the most considera ble of institutions. We would ffiave respected the right of others for tho reasons which direct us to maintain our own. Justice, equity and prudence would have had greater influence in our councils and administration. We alien'd have appreciated the truth, that a strict regard •or the rights of others, the weak as well as the strong, with the exercise ofjuatice. magnan imity, forbearance and moderation, is cot inere- ly a duty, out a necessity. Our standard of national and social excelU noc would have been higher, it would not have consisted in wealth and military power; these would have been useful servants, but they would not have been masters. Moral power, dignity and influence would have constituted the glory of the nation The troubles which have settled jipon us would have passed over or heads, to some dis tempered, more congenial zone ; ‘ and finally we should have demonstrated that great tiuth, in which mankind have so deep an interest, that Republican institutions are in perfect har mony with the best interests of society. Wo must rectify these errors if we would save the nation. Wo mugt bring back the Government to :he faith and practice of the fathers, listen to their counsels,* heed their advice and follow in their footsteps. But all these considera tions will be vain and fruitless unless we can first have—Peace. Negro 'Soldiers in North A Novel Picture ot what the Negroes have gained by ‘‘Freedom.' - Tho Yankees «re going on in their mad passion for thy elevation of the ne gro. They are not conteut to putting them on an equality with their whites, hut they want to wake even rnoro of them. The Albany Ar gus is even forced to make the following con fession: Iu awarding apparent equality of pay be tween white and black troops, the administra tion. iiowever, g- e« beyond, in fact, and gives to tho negro so'diers a much greater rate of compensation. It assumes the support of his family, and for every negro soldier enlisted, it finds from five V) eight women or children, or invalid or decrepid men, thrown absolutely upon it for daiiy food. The negro troops, there fore, wi'l, under thin svstemof equality, be the highest paid troops in the world. Weirds!! Phillips spoke of ibem as our no. hies, to wkem the lands of the South were to Is) awarded, as William, theCoi querer, divided England among his Norman chiefs. They are already upon the pension list to an extent that few realize, and which the heads of de partment refuse to reveal. But even this vast expenditure gives no relief to this fated class. They suffer and perish in their new con dition. We hai-e publ shed some evidence fiom abo lition sources upon this point. A letter from Ch plain Fisk, dated the 11th Instant, to tho Springfield Mass Republican, presents some lucts which are new. Ho says : There are. between Memphis and Natchez, not less than fifty thousand blacks, from among whom have been called all the able-1 odied men for the military service. Thirty-five thou sand of th<-se. viz : those iu camps between Helena and Nat Chez, are furnished the shelter of old tents ad subsistence of cheap rations by the Government, but are. in all other things, in extreme destitution. Th- ir clothing, iu perhaps the case of a fourth ot this Dumber, is but one single worn and scanty garment Many children are wrapped uight and day in tattered blankets as their sole apparel. But few of all these people have had any change 01 raiment sinoe, in midsummer or earlier, they came from the abandoned planta tions of their raas’ers. Multitudes of them have no beds or bedding —the. clayey earth the vesting place of the women and babes through these stormy winter months. They live cf necessity in extreme filth iness. aud are afflicted with all fatal diseases. Medical attendance and supplies are very in adequate T.i ey cannot, during the winter, be disposed to labor and self support and com pensatod labor cannjbt be procured for them in the camps. They cannot in then present con dition. survive the winter. It is my conviction that, unrelieved half of iheui will perish before the Spring. Last winter, during the months of February, March aud April, I buried. at Mem phis alone, out of an average of about four thounmd. twelve hundred of these people, or frofn twelve to twenty a day. One day we buried thiity-five. Those who have been gath ered into camp this, summer are quite as desti tute as those who were on our hands last winter. A Good Record.— There is not a State of ihe Confederacy—with the exception of Missouri, where we have no force—in which within a bout two months past the Confederate arms have not achieved some success or the Yan kees met with a failure. Thus we have : In Texas, Benavides’ affair at Laredo. In Louisiana, Bauks’ defeat at Mansfield. In Arkansas, the capture of Jacksonport, and possibly by this time the discomfl.ure of Steele In Kentucky, the capture of Paducah. In Tennessee, the capture of Fort Pillow. In Mississippi, the defeat of Grierson. In Alabama, the Yankee failure at Fort Powell. In Florida, the victory of Ocean Pond. In Georgia, the repulse of Crow's valley. In South Carolina, the confessed failure of the siege of Charleston. In North Carolina, the capture of Plymouth. In Virginia, the defeat of Dahlgren's raid. There are others besides, but we have con fined ourselves to a single affair in each State. Surely the skies all around us are bright with happy oniei s. The Climax.— The masterpiece of the Sew ard-Russell correspondence about the jams is the following brief dispatch from Mr. Layard to Mr. Stuart. Her Majesty’s Charge d’Affaires at Washing!on, written the very day that Mr. Adams' threatening dispatch of same date was ' received, and three days before Earl Russell in ! formed him in three lines that the threat had succeeded. We give it in full : Foreign Ofticb, Feb. 6. We hare given order* to-day to the Commis sioners of customs at fciverpool to prevent the two iron clads leaving the Men*ev. Thes-- or ders had scarcely been sent when we received the noie It m Mr, Ad ims, of which I send vou a copy. Mr. Adams.is not yet aware that'or ders have been given to stop the vessel*.—■ You may inform Mr. Seward confidentially ■of the fart, FQOM It U now ascertained, that all the white troops in Natchez, Vicksburg, and other Missis sippi towns Lave been sent North. Their pla ces are filled with negro Toops. The negto school’s in Natchez have been bro ken up, and all of the attendants able to work j sent to work on Louisiana plantations. | Great dissatisfation exists among the negro | troops at Natehez, and outbreaks are of con j tinual occurrence. T hey express great dis satisfaction, with the freedom they are receiv ing at the hands of the Yankees and are wdl ing to return to thoir ma ters within the South ern lines. Thev think however, that the Con- Ceferates will hang them, an idea that the Yankees are continually in aching to them. Gentlemen who have recently arrived in Richmond from Central Mississippi’fconflrm pre- vious reports ol great abunuauce ol provision.- in that prolific region. There are hundreds of. acres of rorn yet standing in the field, for went of the labor to gather the whole crop. The barns aud other building are filled with tfie grain a id the cattle and swine have been turn ed into the fields. Butter, eggs, bacon and beef are abundant, aud offered for sale at pWace prices for Confederate currency, but there is no way of getting teem to market—the Yan kees having stokn or killed ad the horses. The Federate captured at Fort Pillow have arrived at Meridian. The black tongue is maV'ng great ravages among the residents of Memphis. A gentleman from DtS o oounty, Misain ; forms the editor of the A-Unta Appeal, that that section has been laid aste by both par ties, to the exte .t of destroying fences, etc., veTy generally.

The deficiency is supplied l'roi > the gianaries of the Mississippi prairies. . his is bought at very low figures, and were it not for the trouble of tram-porting it, but life inconvenience would be felt in cotlsequonce of the home scarcity. A considerable amount of contra band trade is carried on h the Yankee traders at Memphis, and by the profits arising from this business, many who would otherwise he in straitened circumsta’ es, are enabled to make a comfortable living FROM TK'WIIS^EK. A greater portion of tho Federal army iu Upper East ToniMEsee has oetn withdrawn aud sent elsewhere: The Federate still continue to send women and children from Knoxville. A large sock of supplies are being accumu lated by the Yankees ai Knoxville. Five steamboats are continually employed. Six more are being built fpr the same purpose.

The court martials of the Generate ol Long, street’s corps lias terminated. Geu. Robertson, ot the Texas Brigade, is sentence ! to be repri manded ; Gen. Laws, of Alabama, is returned to duty* and Gen. McLaws' sentence has not yet been published, though the inference is that he lias been acquitted. Low's brigade has been ordered bv the War Department back to its original position in Hoods Division. A brigade of infantry, a brigade of cavalry, and a train of Artillery have been sent to look after Forrest by the Yankees. Ten trains of Yankee troops have late-ly been sent to Decatur. It is thought in Middl- Tennessee that the \ankce anny wiil soon advance towards Atlau ta. The Yankees claim one hundred and sixty thousand men at Chattanooga. Our friends however, think they hr»ve not sixty thousand. The returning Yankee regiments, re enlisted men who have been home on furloughs, eiu braeb-g all the new recruits they have been able to obtaip, are universally small, and do not average more than from four to six hun dred men to the regiment.

Northern advices from Mexico to the 14th of Marc’- very clearly indicate that Mexican re sistance to the establishment of the Imperial Government is about to terminate. The news papers are filled with new acts of adhesion to the Em ire from all pars of the country. In a letter dated -s far back r.s January 2d, iu which Juarez refused to accede to the propo sal made by Dobeago and Ortega to resign the Presidency, he admits the hopelessness of his cause in consequence of an attempt made by Jua rez to get at the proceeds of tho Custom House at Fiedias Negras without the permission of Gov Vidaurri, the latter had assumed an ex ceedingly hostile attitude toward Jaurez. This Governor, who had hitherto supported the de clining fortunes t.f the President, refused to let him have a dollar of the funds of the State, imprisoned a portion of his men stationed at Monterey, seized their artillery and prepared the citadel for defence, having assembled therein a force of about 5000 me i. « Vidaurri’s conduct is regarded ns amounting to a declaration of war against- Juarez and an adhesion to the Empire. Faimors were abun dant. One reports him as having been assassi nated, and another that he wasa fugitive on his way to Matamoras, endeavoring to flee tjie country. French reinforcements continued to arrive at Vgra Cruz. A newspaper publi hed at the capital says the country ‘‘was never so tran quil as now.’’ As usual, there are insignificant skirmishes occurring now and again, and a small coach that gets occasionally robbed ; but these are unworthy of mentin and are daily lessening in number and importance. FROM TR\\B-MIgSIPfMI>PI. All the news (rotn trans Mississippi contin ues to be of the most cheering character. It is stated that seven steamboat loads of wounded Federate have been sent Sin the late battle fields in Louisiana to Baton donee.

April 13, 1 804 —Sir : Much complaint Is made by a number of the leading meichants of New York, and by many of Boston, Philadelpba and Baltimore, about the instructions of the Department for the tem porary issue of coin certificates from your office, receivable for duty in lieu of gold. This instruction was given partly, indeed with reference to geneial public interests, but mainly for the purpose of relieving, as far as possible under the law, the importing mer chants fiom hardships occasioned by the nec essary accumulation of coin in the Treasury. As the complaints referred to sufficiently show that the main object of the instruction is not accomplished, the issue of such certificates will be discontinued after the current war, and duties will be collected uniformly in ooin, as heretofore. Very respectfully, yours, 8 P. Chase. Secretary of the Treasury.

The Manchester Guardian .speaks thus ol the worthlessness of a great deal of cotton bL'iqied to England from India : We have seen in :>• v. ;;; chouse in this city a quantity of what is called coiffin taken from, fifty-one bales consigned from BomoaV t: i„\ eTpool for sale. It is a heap of mere dirty sweepings, which cannot be spun at all even mixed with what does not posse* staple.’ It is hardly worth 2d. per pound for any purpose. After the bales were placed on*shipboard, tho captain finding grounds for suspicion, caused samples to be drawn, and then ho refused to • convey the stuff to England without prepay ment of freight. We hear a great deal about the bad quality of a large proportion of the cotton received from India and now on the way to this country. We do not, hcftvever, in tend to convey the idea that there is very much of it on a par with the consignment here re ferred to.
