two or three weeks longer, on rather infer
ior paper. This is owing to the fact that
the “Fulton Mills,'’ where our paper is
manufactured, will be unable for three or
four weeks to manufacture newspaper,
having a largo contract for book paper to
till. At the very earliest possible time we
will have our u-ual beautiful paper to

Tn* Indian-sutnmcr haze anil calm which j
have enveloped the political situation for the j
last fomight arc at length brushed away, soys I
tha Nashvillo Bautter, nod wo enter once |
more upon the storm and tempest of con- I
greasional debate.
Alter months of labor the mountain is Jo- j
livered of its mouse; and a curious little 1
animal it is. In color it is decidedly black.
Its ears arc long ; its eyes are malicious ; 1
and its tail is Some people will laugh
that bo grotesque and diminutive a figure
should be set up as the idol of anybody, and
perhaps a golden calf might hove served e
better purpose. But, such as it is, let us
survey it, and thank God that we arc not
responsible.
It proposes that none of the States shall
abridge the rights of any of its citizens,
white or black, which no one can object to;!
that if negroes are excluded from the polls !
they shall not be counted in the population, I
but that rebels may be excluded, and yet be ]
counted to make up the apportionment, j
which is unfair on its face ; that all who
voluntarily boro arms rgainst the Govern
ment shall bo disfranchised for a certain pe
riod ; that no Confederate offiecr abovo the
rank of Colonel shall hold office ; and that
no Confederate war debt shall ever be paid,
and no damages rctnrncd for the loss of slave
property.
The system in by no mo.*vo » of*ir in spir
it, but its operation is unequal. It sulor
binates one race, where it pretends to equal
ize another. It enables bad men to misuse
power for their own advantage. In the
North it does not do this ; here it does.
If those who bore arms against tbo Gov
vernment are to be disfranchised, wo might
as well givo the South to the sneuks and
cheats, for such a proposition signifies noth
lug more nor lose. The best men of the
Bouth fought the fight; and if the North
wants a valuable peace, it had better treat
with them; not the dogs who kept out of
the army and made money by it. Why
should a neutral be rc'pceted moro than an
honest enemy? Why should you trust the
word of the one, who did not have courage
enough to express an opinion until the issue
was decided, against that of the other, who
made a stand, and has laid aside his arms in
good part ?
We confess that wo havo littlo heart to
argna the matter. It is none of our quarrel.
Wc have no vote, nor any power to affect the
result the one way or the other. Let the
extremists fight it out, and if they make a
Kilkenny affair of it, all the bolter.
The Republicans arc hopelessly divided

C’li<>«-k-in tiling Hi« President.
The Senate having got w ind of the prob
able intention of the President to r move
from office those who were opposed to his
recons'ruction policy, have been occupied
for several days in fixing up an amendment
I to the 'General Postal Appropriation bill
prohibiting any officer from receiving any
[ salary who may he appointed by the Pres
ident, dining the recess of the Senate, or
who hat not been confirmed by the Senate.
The object of (bis is to prevent the Presi
dent from making any further removes of
office lioMers. The Senate fearing a gen
eral decapitation intends to change the law
so as virtually to depdvo the President of
his appointing power. They seem deter

If «> ! I’or Mexico !
The follow" g letter from ex G ivcnor A1
lon, i.aw of Mix’co, wlii h has just been re
ceived by several young gentlemen of Ma
eai, we find in iLe columus of tho Macon
Citizen.
City or Mexico Eui'iiik of .Mexico, )
April 7tb, lsfifj j
Messrs. E C. Powers J J. Guimx, S. A
,J. Payot:
(,\ nllrmer: Your letter of M ireh 7th,
a.skiug information about Mexico, has been
received, and in reply, l have ouly time brief
ly to an.-wer your r quest.
Mexico potso.ses great rg/icultutil resour
ces, great mineral wealth, and a climate ua
surpassed. Tlio colony at Cordova is a fix
ed fac*, but all the | üblic land thero has
been taken up. However, negotiate us arc
now going on with tho Government, with
every prospect of success, that large quanti
ties of other lands will soon be thrown into
market. These lands are near Cordova, and,
as to quality, are as line as any in the world.
They produce, in addition to all the cereals
raised in your State, ert on, sugar, tobacco,
coffee, ;n 1 tho tropical fruits iu the greatest
abundance. The land will be furnished
settlers at one dollar per acre—in tracts of
three hundred and twenty aores for a single
man and six hundred and forty for families,
with interest at six per ccr#. annum. The
land is covered with a dense undergrowth,
and Lb >r is very scarce, which is the ouly
difficulty iu the way of speedy cultivation.—
This will necessitate, as you can readily per
ceive, a certain amount of money. 1 would
advise you to start with at, least live hundred
dollars a piece, which will enable you to
make a good beginning on your places.
C iff. e requires tl rce years to mature ; but
when onec bearing, it continues for one hun
dred jears. 11 'g-rai.-ing is profitable—ha
eon being worth one dollar per pound, and
scarce at that. They are fattened on banan
as and oranges, pine apples and cocoa-nuts.
Clerkships caruiut be had, as the Mexicans
work as cheap as the Chinese, and possess an
advantage I presume you do not—a thorough
acquaintance with the Spanish language.
Surveyors are in demand, and generally re
ceive SIOO per month.
Few American citizens here arc eapablo of
helping young men, and uouo among the
Confederates, ccntainly.
My advice, then, to you is : If you liavo
say SSOO apiece—are willing to work hard
—put up, for one rr two years, with much
hardship and labor—you can lay the ground
work cf a fortune which will gradually and
surely rise iuto a spltti id fortune.
The Ena pci or Maximilian’s power is daily
strcrigthcuing, and Napoleon lias not the
least apparent idea of withdrawing his
troops.
I have thus briefly answered your ques
tions. If you conclude to come, do so by
way ol Vera Cruz, ar.d thence to Cordova.
An Agent of the Colonization Office will
be fouutl at Vera Cn;/..
Hoping this may bo satisfactory.

Important—TSie Income Tax.
Iu order that our readers may bo correct
ly advised,of requirements mado upon them
by the Internal Revenue law, in relation to
fs.ru them to-day the fol
lowing valuublo and pertinent condensation
of a lrw which affects alike all who arc iu
receipt of incomes, North or South :
“It should ho remembered by tax payers
that the Ist of May is the time fixed by the
Internal Revenue law for the return ofsebed
ules of incomes to the Assistant Assessors.
The amended law of March 3, 1865, is still
in force, and it is officially announced that
tho asessment of this year will bo made iu
accordance with its provisions, regardless of
any action of Congress on the new tax bill
just reported to the House. The SeDato re
fuses to concur in the House resolution pro
viding for an cxtei sion of time for two
months, in order to permit the new law to
go into effect. Tax payers, therefore, are
required to furnish their schedules to the
Assistaut Assessors iu their respective dis
tricts on or before Turs lay next. The As
sessor is under no legal obligation to send
blank forms; ho may do so as an act of cour
tesy, but it is tho business of tax payers to
find his office, obtain the blanks, fill them up
and return them. In case of neglect or re
fusal, the Assessors are empowered to make
the return and to add a penalty of twenty
five per cent , or, ia case of fraud, to add
one.)iundred per eeut. to the amount ascer
tained to be duo.
“The duties on incomes arc payable with
in sixty days after the return of the schedule
to the Assessor; that is, on .cr before the
30th day of .Tune. The income must be
reckoned for the year ending DeccmberSl,
1865, and the tax is 5 per cent, on all sums
bctwocu 8600 aud§s,ooo, and ten per cent,
on the excess over 85,000. The deductions
permitted ore : 1. The sum of S6OO from
all incomes; 2. All natioual, State, county
and municipal taxes paid within tho year,
(including tho income tax paid last sum
mer) ; 3. Tho amount paid for rent, or
the rcutal value of any homesteid occupied
»y mu isnvqrayef or nts nrnrtty, nr min jwu
right or tho right of his wife; 4 The a
mount paid for usual or ordinary repairs, ta
ing the average of tho preceding five years
These arc the deduolitns that can be made.
“The incomo tax is a lien npon property
if not paid within the time fixed by law, and
the collectors are invested with full powets
to take legal proceedings fir distraint and
collection. The proper observance of the
time and manner of payment will therefore
; save the tax-payer much trouble.”
The foreg iingwe c >py from the New
York Post. It is well for our pcoble to
note that their income tax is not paid with
in the time fixed by law, the Collectors arc
invested with full powers for distraint and
collection.

The Gouc al Coufereueo of tho M. K
Church South lias elected four of its ablest
ministers to sit with their Soule and Au
drow, their l'Lrlv, lkinc, Kovauagh and
I’ioroo, on their bench of hi.hops. Finding
tint those a’roady ordained to this duty were
insufficient for the many and arduous and
wile spread I ib< rs they had taken upon them,
and seeing before them more ex'ensive li Ids
of labor yet untouched by the sickle of this
church, they resolved to add to their Lumber
fur more, and they have selected the Rev.
Dr. Win. .\l Wig’itma i, Rav. Dr. D. 8.,

E. M. Marvin for this august and responsi
ble office.
Rev. Win. L. Wightm ir, D. D., L. L.
I)., is a B mth Carolinian, and formerly ed
it»l the Chastest on Christian Advocate. —
He is also well known as the biographer of
Rishop Copers. Ho is a man of extensive
and profound learning, and is now presi lent
of the University if Alabama, otGrccnsboro,
in that State.
llcv. I). S. Doggett, D D , wos editor, for
many years, of the Methodist (.) larterly Re
view, aLd now presides over the Episcopal
Metl odist at Richmond, Va , of which State
lie is a son, and is highly esteemed tor Iris
scholarship aud ability as a writer and pul
pit orator.
Rev. 11. N. McTyierc, D. D., is well
known here, when as editor of the Christian
Advocate, and as tho eh quont occupant of
several of our pulpits, he so ioilg attract id
crowded audiences to the sanctuary.
Itev. E. M. Marvin is less known among
us. He oornes from Misrouri, from which
State ho went with General Price as hi>
chaplain into the army, and served on that
peaceful and heavenly duty throughout the
late unhappy conflict. The fact that his
ministerial bretheren chose him bishop on
the first ballot, show their estimate of his
character and abilities.
Cotton Seed. —As a matter of great im
por ance to our planters we publish the fol
lowing communicati in, addressed to the
Montgomery Mail;
New Orleans, Jan. 5, 18GG.
Editors Mail : Tho timo is rapidly ap
proaching when farmers will ho preparing to
plant cotton, and there is one fact which
may not be generally known to thorn which
l wish to draw their attention, and it is :
cotto*n seed which bavo lain iu tho lint, un
gitfed, twelve months, will not do to depend
upon for planting purposes. The majority
of planters know that old seed, which have
boon giuucsi the fall the cotton was picked,
are as good if not better, than now. This is
nut, the ease whore she seed have lain unginu
cd for a year. The lint extracts or absorbs
all the oil (which serves as nutrition to the
young plaut) from the seed. It does not
di stroy the gernunating property of tho
seed; tho seed will couae up, but the plaut
will die in ten days. The w-ritir kco,vs one
planter who lost two entire stands of cotton
last year, and thereby totally failed in a
crop. lie planted seed which had lain un
giuned for twelve months. The seed came
up and ho bad a tine stand, but, iu about ten
days, all died. 11 planted the soeand
time with the samo results. As this is a
matter of vital importanc to the planting
community, it will uot the planters let it be
Woovro, if sueh-has becu their experience.
Planter-
Trip. Growing Chop. —We arc pleas'd t>
learn from onr farming friends in flic snr
rounding country, that tho prospect of the
wheat crop in this section is go id. The
wheat is looking well, and we have every
reason to believe that there will be a large
yield. Good stinds of corn Irr.vo ben ob
tained, and if the weather continues season
able, tiro crop will be larg”. Tho freedmen
seem to be working w ell, and on the whole,
the farming prospect is rather encouraging
Opelika ( Ala) Recorder.
Bad “Stand”— Plowing up the Cot
ton —We regret to learn that in this sec
tion of Georgia, and adj lining counties of
Alabama, quite a large nu nbor of planters
are plowing up th.ir cotton, on account of
there being such a bad ‘ stand.” Consider
able seed that has come up even, from old
3go, or some other cause, was so puny that
it soon died. Besides this, tho prospective
tax of 5 cents a pound on cotton so disheart
ens the planters ill it they have but little pa
tience to nurse the sickly plant.— Rome
(Ga.) Courier y 5.
The Crops in West Florida.—TheMa
rianna Courier says that in consequence of
the failure of tho cotton seed to germinate,
in many instances in that country the plan
ters, for want of fresh seed, havo planted land
in corn they had designcl for cotton. Tho
weather, it says, has uot this season been
propitious in-obtaining a good stand of cot
ton, and thus far the hope) of the farmer are
lingering on the tide of successful experi
ment. The stand of corn is good and the
plant looks well.
