We learn that the South Carolina Rail road has reduced the price of freight by the Southern Express Company between this point and Charleston and Columbia, S. C., to nearly one-third. Oysters, for which this Road formerly charged $1.50 per barrel, are now put down in the Express Office here at 81, and other freight in like proportion- It is expected that other Roads will follow the example of the South Carolina Railroad, particularly the Roads leading from this city to Norfolk, Va. —— - The Tax I.awi, We arc indebted to Major Madison Bell, Comptroller General, for a copy of a pamph let, by himself, of thirty-two pages, contain ing “Instructions to Tax Officers, and Digest of the Tax Laws of the State of Georgia,” which must prove a very great convenience to Tax Officers, Ordinaries, Justices of the Peace, as well as to tax-payers generally. The typography of the pamphlet is t very neat—a great improvement on former simi lar publications in this State, and which, we hope, will be emulated by the recently elected State Printer.
