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 on the Reconstruction Committee’s ropert.

A bill was reported in the House on th" 30th ult-, making an appropriation cf the snug little sum of eleven millions six hun dred and lorty thousand dollars for the support and education of the icgioes. — Among the items were four millions for feeding the freedmen, and three millions for building school houses.

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 mined to overt ido tho constitution and overrule tin; I'resident in every move.

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;/..

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.

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.

Rev. 11. N. McTyierc, D.

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. Pat said lie had been lying speech less six weeks in the month of August, and all that ho had said was to c r y water, water, wa ter.
