Franklin D’bltehing nomm, Atlanta, Ga. b Comptioliei* General'* Office, Milledgevillo, April 24, 1862. To the Receivers and Collectors in this State : “5. See. V. The Receivers of Tax Returns and Collec ois of Taxes, of the respective counties shall be responsible to the Executive Department, and be amenable to such rules in conducting the duties of their respective offices, as he Executive may think necessary and proper.”—Sec T. R. R. Cobb’s Digest, page 1046. Therefore, as the Governoi intends urging upon Hie next Legislature the propriety of ta.x tig Cotton planted and raised this .year in this State, and for the further purpose of sipproximating to the amount of (’em and other Grain that will be raised in Georgia during the present year, 1 am directed by his Excellency to ins’ruct you to retu-n on your Digest, and to en er opposite the name of each tax-payer, the number of acres of C 'tt<>n and Corn and other grain p ant d in Georgia during - the pre sent year. This you can readily do by using the three last columns printed in the nr sent Tax Bot ks, ar.d which ;u - e not used in this office, or the office of the Clerk of the Inferior Court, to which yon also return a Digest. The cohitni s above alluded to, that you can use, are first, th.) column hea ded “Aiip'Uiit as-essi-d at of one per cent.” In this coluint) ( ncltidiug both ‘‘dollars, ’’ and “cents,”) you can put the numb' r of acres of Cotton plan ted. In the next column of “dollars,” under the. head of “ Total am nut of Taxes,” you can put the iinuri er of acres of Corn planted ; and, in th r last or “cents” column, you can put the tium» ber of acres planted in other grain. zXpart from the pur, uses of the Gov ernor, I cannot but believe that all good citizens of the State will he happy to make th s return, and show to the world what Georgians are d -ing in this our “day of trial,’’ it: the way of sustain ing and feeding well our huge Arm;., arid the fam les of our brave and pa tri otic s-'ld.er.t who tire i>o v in the tent ed Ilel enduring all sor's of wcathrr and privations, and gallantly and man fully battling, and offering up their lives in defence of the rights, the liber ties, the sanctity of oui horn s, the pre servation of our pn>pi rty and the main tenanee of all that we hold dear. Thus believing, I lupe you wi-l have but lit tle trouble i:i making thi return. If, however, I am mistaken, an I any should fail or refuse to return the num ber of acres planted as above stti'ed, you w 11 then obtain the information from the best source you can, and nut the amount opposite their names in the column alluded to. Ami, then, on the last page of your Book you can men tion the names of those who refused or failed to in ike said r turn, and you can state at the same time tint you made the return opposite their names in your B'ook from the best information you could obtain Very respectfully, Yom obedient servant, PETERSEN TIIWEATI’, Gotnp’r, Gen’l. teT’iVe g't the foil’wing from the Richmond Inquirer, of Tu sday; Affaiks ox thk Penixsula. —Th. - news from the Pen nsuti is mo o o‘Oii a , O' r f re’s are still kv. ping perfectly quic a - Lee’s Mill’- th co tn 1< s be ow A’oik tow-i. with s riut orders not to respond tn lite fire of th - enemy.

Indication of Popular Feeling 1* yk* ited Mates. Correspondence of the Baltimore San. Washington, April 17. The popular elections in Illinoijß and New York show great Democrttiegains fn nearly all the Northwestern . and Western States there is a manifest ten dency towards a political revolution. If it should succeed, it might not either stop the war or re-tore the Union on tlwr oi l basis, but it would change the par ty character of the House and of the Ext c .live. The House wh’cli has to succeed the present one may be cf a conservative Democratic complexion. Ti e Chicago municipal election has r suited in the triumph of the Democrats by 1,500 inaj >rity. lion. F. C. Sher man is the Mayor elect. The chartei election at Daytpn, Ohio, held on the first Monday in April, was carried by the D miocrats by a majority tanging Iron 200 to 300, against a much larger majority in opposite direc tion o e year since. S. ringfield, here tofore a strong Republican town, has elected Win. D. Hall, Democrat, as May or. The town ele< tions in New York and ether States also show ihatnhe Conser vative Republicans are disposed to re pu date the Weiidell-Phillips-ozing of the party, and are joining hands with the Democrats on Tuesday e'ectcd tUeir whole ticket, except for Ahlermsws in in one of the wards. The average ma j, rity was about two hundred. We give these indications of opiiuon among our en. inies without attaching importance to them. We base «bat little hope on the possibility <f any spon aneous revolution of sciriment in Yankeeland. Lis very unch as the Montgomery Advertiser says: “From time to time for the past six months we have been regaled, with nanatives of disttfi’ cti'ii among the people, of muni ty in the army, and a great and grow dislike for the further pr isecmion of the war, but thus far we have failed to see that this n.u nous and disaff cled spirit his had any < ffect upon the Yankee Government. We have had reports of regiments refusing to fight foi the Lin coln dynasty any longer, but somehow thcs< - reports are uev. r fully confirm* ed. '■ It has been said that the people are growing restless under the great and daily incr-si ig but den of taxation which is being placed upon them, and that they are cl.imoroiis for the war to cud; but so fat as we have seen, the oaly terms on which tht-y arc willing to have the war cease, are immediate uuaouditional submission of the South. Not withstand all the statements to the contrary which have been made, we believe the North is as yet, for all practical purposes, thoroughly united on the war policy of the Government. II >w long this unity may last we cam ot tell; but there ap*- p-arf; to be no greater folly, than that of looking for a change of sentiment to come over the North, and bring about a speedy termination of the War. — When the South Ims fairly beaten them on the field < f batt'c we may look for a peace party at the North, not before.”. [ llichmontl Whig. ■ V Fi;im>e!’.ii:ksburg. —The enemy do. not as yet occupy the city of Fredericksburg, but ate -a d to be cmeentrating heavy forces in tin - v cinity to facilitate their anticipated march to Richmond. Some <.f thei soldi rs li tvn s’olen off and gore overto the city, frolicked around, and returned without doing any damage. They rarely escape however, being es corted back under a guard sent especial ly after them. • The Valley. - The opt rations of our forces in th.) Valley arc unknown—thf, situation is flpparently in statu qilo.-i~- The enemy is stretched along tho Valley from New Market to within a fcwtnilcH of Harrisonburg, but they are still doubtful its to the meaning of the re treat, and dislike the idea of panel rating «o far into the interior. Actions speak more forcibly than words ; they are the test of char acter Like fruit upon the tree, they show the nature of the man; while lives, like the sap, are hidden* from our vicw.
