To Alabama Tax Collectors.— A
general order from Gen. Pope’s head¬
quarters, dated December 21st, thus
addresses the Tax Collectors of Ala¬
bama. It says:
As the terms of office of the Collectors
of Taxes in the Slate of Alabama ex¬
pire on the 1st of January, 1808, and
there is uo provision made by the laws
continue of the State in office whereby said officers may
until their successors
are elected and qualified, at the sug¬
gestion and request of the officers of
said State, said Collectors are hereby
authorized to continue in the perform¬
ance of their duties as such Collectors
until their successors are elected and
qualified.
Pope’s Order No. 40 in Court.
We copy from the Lagrange Reporter
the following notice of proceedings in
the SuperiorjCou it,’of Troup county at
its late term, relative to the legality of
sales under Pope’s order 4tt. The legal
information elicited iu the discussion is
ol interest to parties whose property it is
proposed to lie sacrificed by Pope’s
illegal advertising :
At the recent session of the Superior
Court for this (Troup) county, a scene
occurred in which the whole people have
an interest and which ought to teach
a lesson of the mission which Gen.
Pope’s partisan anil vindictive Order 49
mvst inevitably produce.
The Sheriff of this county, in obe¬
dience to that Order, had sent his offi¬
cial radical advertisements published to the New Era,*a
paper in Atlanta.
The defendants in the different cases
filed affidavits of illegality to this pro¬
ceeding, and, as a result, Judge Collier
had a multitude of sucli cases before
him. One of the cases having been
called, and its character ascertained,
there seemed to he a disposition with
some to postpone the trial ol the ques¬
tion for the present.
Judge Bigliam said every lawyer at
the bar was clear in his opinion that
such advertisements were illegal, and
all sales under them would be void, and
he believed almost every member of the
bar bad filed, or advised their clients to
file such affidavits of illegality ; and to
this broad statement there seemed to he
an assent from all the attorneys, and no
intimation of dissent from the Judge.
Mr Hill said, I do not represent the
case before the court, and have not filed
any of the affidavits alluded to. But I
Concur in the opinion that all the sales
under them are void, except, only,
when the defendants consent to the
proceeding. I believe every respecta¬
ble judge aud attorney in the Stale
will hold them illegal, and this Order
No. 49 can do nothing but work mis¬
chief, engender bitterness and breed lit¬
igation for years to come. In view of
these universal convictions I deem it
my duty to state that while in Wash¬
ington recently, 1 called the‘attention
of the President to this order, and to
the very effect which we now see before
us.
The President seemed to be Astonish¬
ed that the order was being so acted on
and said ho had received a memorial
from-Georgia on the subject of this or¬
der and called oil Gen. Pope for au ex¬
planation about it, arid that, Gen. Pope
had made a report, saying, the order
was not intended to have such a con¬
struction, aud was not intended to in¬
terfere with the advertisements of civil
and county officers whose advertise¬
ments weie regulated by law. I ex¬
pressed much surprise at this, and said
the report ought to tie made public, for
it wascen:!iaiy receiving this construc¬
tion in Georgia, and I thought General
Pope knew it, and h ut certainly not cor¬
rected it as. fur as I had heard. The
President sought lo find the report of
Gen. Pope, saying he wanted me to see
it, but could not find it at that time;
hut repeated that such was the report ol
Gen. Pope as to the condition of the or¬
der. I deem it proper to make this
statement, because it is of a public ua
tureand of public interest, and ought to
be known aud acted on by the courts
and all civil officers.”
Discoveries at Jerusalem. — An
English scientific expedition is now
making a thorough exploration of Pal
elstine, and has already made many in
tciesting discoveries and settled many
hitherto doubtful points of topography,
At Jerusalem the results of their invos
ligations have been especially gratify
ing. The colossal foundations of the
Tcmple wall, in which are “stones ol
ten cubits and stones of eight cubits,”
cut by Solomon or his successors on the
tlirone, are now being laid bare at the
enormous depth of ninety feet and
more beneath the present surface. The
j j bridge between that the once palace spanned Zion the and ravine the
on
] Temple on Moriah is now proved to
j ! have been upwards one hundred aud
i fifty feet high. It this be as it seems, Lord
I t b fe “ascent” to thc house of the
which Solomon showed to the Queen
| of Sheba, we cannot wonder that on j
8ee j n g p, “there was no more spirit iu
j her.” The pinnacle placed of the Temple on
j which fias the tempter uncovered the Saviour,
' just been to its base, and
j is found still to have an elevation of
one hundred and thiriy six feet. Tho
statement of Josephus is, therefore, no
exaggeration: “li any one looked from
the battlements into the valley he would
he giddy, while his sight could not reach
to such an immense depth.” Sections
of the ancient wall of Ophel have been
exhumed, showing that, as Josephus
says, it was joined to the southeast an
j S’e srS'E/SSSlKZ of the Temple. Aqueducts, cisterns, j

fomlilien of (ho Nnulh The Cotton
Tax.
Under the above caption, the New
York Times, a Republican sheet, puts
forth the following sensible views favor
ing the repeal of the cotton tax :
Thcre is no reason to doubt the gen
h p™Sc
y wffich
overhangs the population ot the cotton
growiug States. White and black,
planter and freed man, all have before
them a period of hardship which only
external aid can prevent becoming in
tolerable. Tite cotton crop is a failure,
and the fall in price entails embarrass¬
ment if not ruin, upon ail engaged iu
its cultivation. The amount realized
from the sale of the small crop which
has been obtained is not sufficient to
cover the advances made during its cul
tivation or to pay tor the labor which
has been engaged. The embarrassment
of the New Orleans merchant is, there
fore, little less severe than that ot the
Mississippi planter ; both are unable to
assume obligations on account of next
year’s crop. 'I he case ot the planter,
however, is aggravated bp his inability
In 10 nrnvide protiue tor lot the me txigeuuis evioenries oi Ol tlm me
Winter, or to lelaiu the labor without
which his land must lie idle through
the year
The condition of the freedtnen is yet
worse. Current engagements will ex¬
pire iu a few days, and, according to
present appearances, in the majority of
instances there will not be renewal be¬
cause the planters have neither means
nor credit wherewith to maintain them
uiuil the next harvest. The freedmen
themselves are destitute. The earnings
of the' year have been so completely
consumed before its close, that ninety
nine out of every hundred are represent¬
ed as impoverished. Their sole chance
of obtaining food and clothing is con
tingent on the renewal of engagements
with the planters on the 1st of January.
Aud as the planters, as a class, arc una¬
ble to assume the responsibility of hir¬
ing for another year those whom they
can neither feed nor pay, the probability
is that the colored population of the
States in question will speedily aud
suddenly find themselves helpless in
their suffering.
What is then lo happen? Hitherto
the Freedinen’s Bureau has limited re¬
lief toihesiek aud aged. It has not
been bodied, required 10 provide for the able
except as the guardian of their
interests in their connection with the
planters. But what will its officers do
when the great body of the blacks look
to it for means oi living? It cannot
procure employment for them in com¬
munities where even the landowner is
not many degrees removed from pover¬
ty ; aud the means assigned to it by
Congress are inadequate to sustain the
largely-augmented drain upon if s
resources. Feed the freedmen it must,
however, win n the crisis we apprehend
shall lie reached, or leave them to care
for themselves as best they can. What
the latter course signifies anybody may
understand. It implies robbery and
outrage to an extent so near lo anarchy
that the small force at the disposal of
the District Commanders would be un¬
equal to tire emergency.
Congress recognizes the leading facts
of the case when it concedes the neces¬
sity of abrogating the tax upon cotton.
That measure is defensible only on
the ground that the tax discourages
cultivation, and forms an unbearable
addition to the load of the planter.—
It depends for justification upon two
ascertained facts—one, that is a hind¬
rance to the success of cotton eultiva
lion ; tire other, that in the present con
ditiou of the South it aggravates the
difficulties which beset the planters in
their altered relation to the laborer.
Therefore the tax is to be repealed, but
with the reservation that, the repeal
shall not apply to the tax paid, or to be
paid, on this year’s crop. Twelve
mouths hence cotton will lie free from
the taxation which now swells I he loss¬
es of the planter.
Meanwhile, the repeal ot the tax mb
be of no avail. Were circumstances
otherwise favorable, it would undoubt¬
edly stimulate cultivation next year,
it might, at the end of that se.riod, be of
material help in adjusting satisfactorily
the profit aud loss account of Hie grow¬
er. The misfortune is, howeuer. that
the planters are too poor, too crippled
with debt, to prepare for raising anoth¬
er crop. As matters stand, they can
make no preparation for next year’s
labor. Unless something be done,
therefore, to aid them now, the fiscal
relief protected will be a mockery, sim¬
ply because, according to present ap¬
pearances, the cultivation af cotton will
be all but abandoned.
The proposal to remit the tax charge¬
able on this year’s crop is met with the
objection that since the crop lias passed
out of the grower’s hands the benefit

the tax when the cotton, and
the whole burden fails upon the planter.
Ife is tbe real sufferer under Hie opera
turn of the tax, and the only tenable
plea for remission is that which presup
poses the transfer of the amount to his
pocket. With this proviso, is not the
proposition entitled to renewed atten
tion ? Is it not worth while to reopen
th c question of relief from the injury
inflicted hy the tax, for the express pur
p 0se c f refunding to the planters the
amounts that have been wrung from
their poverty.
The subject is invested with more
obvious interest by its intimate connec¬
tion with the general question of South¬
ern labor. The ' amount of a single
year’s tax would make all the difference
between this helplessness and ability. With
in their possession, the planters

a charm on my Crop, and attracting universal
attention from all beholders. 1 am already

Sir—Tho Double Refined Poudrette 1 bought
for two other parties in connection with my.-oli
—one of them used it on cotton and corn, and
thinks it answered tinely ; the other put it on
cotton, on very poor ground, and thinks it
doubled his crop. 1 used it on earn. It answer¬
ed linely, and was thought by the hand that
cultivated thecrup to be fully equal to Rhode’s
Superphosphate. 1 also used it, on about an
acre ol cotton, and I am clearly of opinion that
it is best and cheapest lertili/.er in use, aud 1
and 1 expect to order several tons liiis winter.
