gjit JOailg City Printer-Official Paper lamrstcity CIRCULATION. A tfat'Kt A., OA.I FRIDAY MORKtNO _...o*u ». ISfiS Telegraph Monopoly—A Dictator for Southern Public Opinion In A recent article, we itnted that our City cotom pornrie* hiul pro!rated ajraimt our receiving the benefit* of the A*so cinted Press. We looked upon the set as vneourteons and ungenerous, end un worthy of journals holding the high character which . they* do. We had already been informed by the Agent here that we had nothing to do but to make application for the dispatches, ami pay our share of the expense*, to en sure oor receiving them. We knew that former precedents justified his decision. We knew, from enquiry, that the Eirn~ tay Dispatch and the True Democrat, papers published in Augusta previous to the war, had been allowed to receive the dispatches, withont asking the consent of the other journals, or the paymout of any boasts to them. We knew that the Chronicle <£• Sentinel, under N. S. Morse, came into the arrangdment since the close of the tear, withont any news paper commeut, or the payment ol any bonus, or the furnishing of any security j and we were, therefore, taken all aback at the conduct of our City cotempora rics, and still more so at the decision which has been rendered by D. 11. Craig, the General Agent of the Associated Press at New York. Mr. Walsh, the Agent of that Asso ciation at this point, called on us yes terday, and showed us a letter which he had received from Mr. Craig, in which the latter states that we will be required to pay the moderate little bonus of SoCO to each of the daily papers tu this City, ami give security that we will take the dispatches for one yearl In n letter to the Mobile Gatctle, a jour nal recently commenced by Admiral Semraes and others, and which is placed in the same position as the Daily Press, Mr. Craig exemplifies his reasons for making this demand. We append this letter that our readers may judge of its merits for themselves : [Copy.] Omen of X. Y. Associated Press, ] 145 Broadway, up Stairs, v Now York, September 4th, ISfifi. J Wu M. Looxis, Agent Ass’d Pres», Mobile: J/jr Dear Sir .-—The inclosed letter will ex plain itself: The inclosed telegram from our Mr. Hicks, shows that he made no agreement with the Mobile Editors to justify thorn in the action they have taken, and the proper thing would hare been fer yon to act on your judgment until you could hare communicated with us. Vie do Dot intend to lend ourselves to any scheme for build ing up new journals, where they arc not clearly t ranted by tbo public—but it soerns to us, that in view of the unsettled and disorganized condition of affairs at the Sooth, it would not be quite Just to the growing enterprise of tho Southern cities to adopt a policy which would crush out new papers, which may bo called for by the public. We feel and l-now that we hare recently improved and cheapened reports to the Southern Press, and we hope yet to do mere, at least in improvement, and for the present wo thick the use or control of our reports should remain with us. Hy-and-bye, when business hecomes more settled, we shall be disposed to giro the local press the cont-ol of the report*, but we do not think I tbr.t time has yet arrived, and yet, wo i-er tainiy will not lend ourselves to encourage new papers which do not appear to be needed. Asa test of the new publishers' earnestness, X suggest that you offer them the reports, provided they p»y a bonus to the existing papers of Sd.ooo—give reason able security for the same weekly sum now paid by each of the present papers tor the term of twelro months, and the in created saui yon will thereby obtain froxn tho Mobile Press will be duly cous dered when we come to 5i with your Editors tho proportion fairly chargeable to them for our enormously increased expenses by reason of tl.e laying of the Atlantic (.able. Please show Ibis note to each of your Editors, and express to them our earnest desire to work with them in all thing., and ato assure them that we shall never ask tbe-n to assent to any businrss arrange ment, except such as shall have been unan imously approved of by tho members of our own Association, and, therefore, it may fairly be presumed will not bo far from juel. Very truly, yours, D. 11. On wo, (Jon. Ag’t Aas’d Press. Verify 13 “a Daniel come to judg ment!” Mr. D. 11. Craig sell himself up &a the arbiter of Southern public opinion a* to whether anew paper is needed or not! An agent o( a Yankee institution undertakes to dictate whether the people of the South shall have new papers or not. We respectfully ask the people of Augusta, are they going to sustain him in this arrogant assumption ? Surely they are capable of judging for thoraselves whether they need anew paper or not, and whether they shall or shall not sustain it; and we submit the question to them, not to Mr. D. H. Craig, Genera! Agent of the Associated Press, lor decision. We do not fear the result. On this point we append the com ments of tho Mobile Gazelle, which are us applicable to our case as to its own, and we ask particular attention to the point which the gallant Admiral makes in them : WUt business 1< it of Mr. Craig how many papers we eh',o#e to establishi bore f Jte sells as news, and wo par fur it, and that is all he hss 0. do with the question. Only see, fellow-citizens, tho monstrosity of this pretension, on ibo pari of the Asso ciated i'ress, North, to decide how msr.y, and what kind of newspapers we shall have in the South. If it esn decide this ques tion on ono ground, it can decide it on aay other grouiM. Our politics, or our editor, in ay be nniceeptabl. to Mr. Craig, and his associate# of the New York Tr,lDrotd, ete , some of which papers, wo believe, are rent members of tbo Association- being stockholders; and wo may be b< omsed out of existence for this reason. Os course, In such a case, tho true rea«»n would never be given, hut it would always bo easy to sny, that such and such a paper was not wauled in such and snob a locality. Hie foot I-, the more wo look lute this attain pled monopoly, the more rotten and iniquitous it appears. It is a wrong position to assume, our peo ple will not sustain it, and we regret, on little, that oar brethren of the press, be tween whom and u# this question has arisen, ■heald have permitted themselves to stum ble into such a mistake; should have fallen unwarily into a snare, which, per haps, has been adroitly laid for tbeui, by their enemies at tho North. This alFair is tin unpleasant one to u», ami we greatly regret the action wlitch our city cotern porarie. have adopted. It »*ore of per secution, and look* very much m though our growing popularity anJ increasing patronage til injuring them. We have no desire to do them any injury. The world la open to all. and the field of competition is largo enough to afford them and ua ample scope to exert a spirit of energy aud euUirpriae. If the pnt'lic prefer a lively and go ahead journal, to dry, prosy, ami un interesting ones, surely our cotemporn riea have the capital and the ability to meet that public want It they do not ehooae to adopt this eonrae, and we do, and we distance them in the face, the fault is theire, not ours, and wo see no reason why we should be required to contribute to their falling fortunes by the payment of bonuses to them. It is preposterous! The whole question is oue of production and consumption. The Northern Associated Pres* produces n supply of news at certain established rates. We, as consumers, are willing to pay those rates, and have a right to come in under them for a share of their pro ductions. The proposition is a plain one, “as plain as the uose ou a man's face’ 1 — so plain that “he that runs may read,” and cannot be controverted. But to pay a bonus to other consumers, and to give security for luture payments—terms which are not required of them—is, as we have said, preposterous, and we can not and will not submit to it. It would be just ns reasonable to claim that a new merchant, just starting business in a community, should be required to pay u bonus to his brother merchants belore they would allow him to purchase goods from the same house, and on the same terms as they did 1 The one case is as absurd as the other, and one cannot be sustained by any reasonable argument any more than the other. We have drawn this article to a greater length than the patience of our readers will justify ; but it is a question in which they, as well as we, ure interested. It is a question whether the Southern people are to submit to the dictation of a Yankee agent, or whether they will decide for themselves what papers are needed lor the South. We are willing to leave the question, ns wo have already said, to them, and shall cheerfully abide their decision. In conclusion, we need only to say to our readers that if they will just hear patiently with us lor a few days, we shall make arrangements that will sup ply them with full telegraphic reports from all quarters, without requiring us to submit to an outrageous monopoly,or to humiliating tests prescribed by T. H. Craig for our admission into the benefits of the Associated Press. Awkward Slips of the Pen.—Gen eral Taylor imortalized himself by per petrating one of the grandest bulls on record, in which he attained what a cer tain temporary professor calls “a perfec tion hardly to be surpassed.” In his Presidential address he announced to the American Congress that the United States were at peace with all the world, and continued to cherish relations of amity towards the rest of mankind. Much simpler was the blunder of an English officer during the Indian r»gti ny, who informed the public that, thanks to the prompt measures of Col. Ed wards, the Sepoys at Fort Machison ‘were nil armed and taken aback, and, being called upon, laid down their arms.” There was nothing very aston ishing in an Irish paper stating that Ro bespierre “left no children behind liiln, except a brother who was killed at the same time but it was startling to have an English journal assure us that her Majesty, Queen Victoria was “the last person to wear another man’s crown.’ Addison lays it down as a maxim that when a nation abounds in physicians it grows thin of people. Filibuster Hen. nipen seems to have agreed with the essayist, or would hardly have informed General Walker, in one of hia dispatch es, that “Drs. Rico and Wolfe died of the cholera, and Dr. Liudley sickened, after which the ldfelth of the camp visi bly improved.” Intentionally or not, the stout-hearted soldier suggests that the best way of getting rid of the cholera is to make short work of the doctors. Among the obituary notices in a weekly paper, not many months ago, there ap peared the name of a certain publican, with the following culogium attached to it: “He was greatly esteemed for his strict probity and steady conduct through life, he having been a subscri ber to the Sunday Times from its first number.” This is a worthy pendant to Miss Ilawkiu’s story of the undertaker writing to the Corporation of London, “I arn desired to inform the Court of Aldermen that Mr. Alderman Gill died last night, by order of Mrs. Gill;” and not far short, in point of absurdity, is Madame Tussaud's announcement of the exhibition of the effigy of the i:oto rious Palmer, “who was executed at Stafford, with two hundred other cele brities.” The modem fashion of nam ing florists’ (lowers must be held respon sible for the very dubious paragraph we extract front a gardening paper: “Mrs. Legge will bo looked after; she may not be ao certain ns some, but she was nevertheless very fine in the early part of tho season. Lady Tophatn is useful, one of the old-fashioned build, not quite round in the outline, but makes up well.” Chambers Journal PotgOKKD by Flouh. At Wonona, HI., recently, some of the guests of the Oilman House were poisoned. Investi gations showed that the biscuits contain ing the poison were made up partly of common and J urtly o( prepared Hour ; ami it is supposed that the mixing ol tho soda or cream tartar in the common (lour with the ingredients which had been put into the prepared flour to make it self-rising, produced a poison. Misrepresentation. When Baron Munchausen wrote his wonderful adventure.", he did not de ceive any one ; nor is any one deceived by thorn now. They are too improbable to deceive any one, and were never intruded to deceive anyone. But they have furnished the vocabulary with a now word to signify falsehood aud misrepresentation—Mun chausenism. It is rather a long word, but it is a long catalogue of etrors that it can cover, and hence none too long. When Mr. Arrowainith furnished the London Times, over his own signature, with a veracious account of his trip through the Southern States, he may have deceived some innocent people in England, but lie did not deceive uny one in America. 11 is statements were 100 much ou the order of Munchausen. But the fact was and is apparent that the world is becoming daily more gulli ble, and though Baron Munchausen deceives nobody, Arrow-smith docs. Nay, Munehausens and Arrow-smiths multiply, nud believers multiply with them, so that their vocation becomes profitable, if not respectable. Their stories are no less improbable than those of their distinguished predecessors ; hut, in certain quarters, they nre swallowed with as much avidity and evident gusto as a child would a bon-bon, or a thirsty man a mint julep or a glass of soda water. Thus, we see these veracious authors—correspondents of Northern newspapers—sojourning in the South, earning -their bread through Southern patronage —writing to their journals statements tho most false und impalpa ble—and for wlmt? Why, that the ene mies of the Union and the Constitution liny have some ground to stand upon— some cause to sustain the Radical party and keep the South out of tho enjoyment of her Constitutional rights. This is the object, and tools nre not wanting to carry it out, or friends to pay them, or tools to believe them. Tales of cruelties to freedmen, of op pression and wrong, nre recorded with as much particularity as if they had really occurred. Some poor negro has been beaten to death by a Rebel mob for no cause; Union prisoners are found iu caves near Southern cities, guarded by Rebel soldiers; justice to freedmen nnd Union men is denied in ihe Courts; and so the catalogue goes on swelling and increasing, while Radical Northern hearts melt with pity at the terrible recital of woe, Radical Northern eyes overflow with sympathetic tears, and Radical Northern indignation against their wicked aud barbarous Southern countrymen is aroused to its highest pitch. We are unreconstructed, unre pentant, unfit to come into the Union. President Johnson talks in vain; Southern journals protest in vain; Northern conservatives defend us in vain. The credulous spirit is rampant, and falsehood is believed and encour aged. Brownlow, and Maynard, and Hamilton, and others of that stripe, nre the political lights which shine for Radical believers, and lead them on to the destruction of Liberty and the Union. The correspondents of the New York World, the New York News, or the Chicago Times, write in vain. They are unread and unheeded. The correspondents of the Cincinnati Ga zelle, Pittsburg Chronicle, and Phila delphia I‘rcss, are tho veracious chroni clers who blazon the way lor the politi cal leaders on the road to political and national destruction. It i.-t, im'aed, moat unfortunate, not only for the South—for tho South will not be thu only sufferer by it—but for the whole country, that this spirit of misrepresentation should be so rampant and so triumphant. It is leading the nation into a vortex of passion and a whirlpool of revolution, from which it v/ill be very difficult to extricate it- The good sense of the people may avert the threatened danger, and turn aside shafts of error in time to save the coun try. “Those who sow the storm may reap the whirlwind.” “Out of the nettle danger may he plucked the flower safety.” But to work the results misrepresentation must cease, or cred ulity must cease. Falsehood must he rebuked aud Truth be respected. This must be the result ut some time or another, for “Truth is mighty and will prevail,” eventually, but if it is not effected speedily, it may be too late for this generation—too late for the peace and prosperity of this Union. It should, therefore, be the wish, us it is the duty ot all patriots, North and South, to crush out this spirit of misrepresenta tion and credulity, and to strive to pro mote harmony and good feeling be tween the sections by giving that jus tice to tho South which she so reason ably and so rightly asks. Ixtkhxal Revenue Decision.—Tlic Commissioner of Internal Revenue hav ing been asked ‘‘if carriage makers are allowed, under the present law, to de duct from their returns of sales, the value of such articles entering into the riiaiiulacture of carriages as may have already paid the manufacturers’ tax,” has replied as follows; The new law exiMiiptsspokes,hubs,how ami felloes, poles, shattsgirins mid wheels, not ironed or finished; springs and wires made of steel; a vies made of iron or steel, rivets, nuts, washers, and bolts used in the manufacture cf vehicles or carriages, and also paints. Rut tho iron ami steel from which many of these nr ticles are made are subject to an impost or excise duty, also the leather, eloth and trimmings. And the finished car riage is liable to a duty of five per cent. ad valorem, without any deductions whatever of articles or materials, taxed or untuxed, which enter into the con struction of the carriage. H any asses sor has allowed deductions of any kind from the value of the finished car riage before assessing the tax, he has done it on his own responsibility nnd without the authority of law, and meas ures will be taken immediately to cor rect tho erroneous assessment.
