THE fWtffiGM tmm: Washington, Wiffew Coonty, Ga. I Friday MonsilviTM/.Y is, m«r~" The Ti3P m Cotton. It stem* te.be settled in Congress by the ao fin»i of the films* that the tax on cotton is to be increased to five (tools pef>o«iO. The House ha* nlready adopted the proposed increase of the tax, and there can be but little doubt that tho Senate, though somewhat mote conservative and politic, will concur. That tholloute knew very little of the sub ject it wo* legislating about » evident from the remark made by'its lander, Tiummus Sreruaa, during tjje course otljie .deblito. < He araertc-a that “ cotton could be grown profitably liy white labor at e cent per pound!”, Such reckless as sertions or stolid ignorance going uncontradicted, shows f be nerd of a led ten of Intilligence or hon esty in til*.body, Tho statement is so palpa bly ful*cv.4*ttt, in this latitude even an attempt to dcmoiujtratc its falsi (y would be ridicule no tfc qimstion, as we have always under stood it, ilwliether or pob cotton cruld be raised at any price profit iffdy by white labor. If tire riding party In Congrcss were unwilling to see thoßbjuatice off itch an exorbitant tax up o« tho principal staple of the South, it is n»t» n ishing Iliat the impolicy of it does not excite more strenuous opposition. If it isiutuodei as * measure of punishtoerit, that cotton alone of *»ll tho predicts of the country should bo taxed an auiouut which at present j>rices U equal to twenty percent «f ftr value, and may chance to be fifty [HrasiJt (tor the article is to be taxed five cents per pound ineSpectira of its market vulue) these legislatapi will find that some part of the punfsfinynt will full up„„ themselves and their constituents, to tho prosperity of whose manu-aciures cotton it an indispensable neces sity. All statesmen, except those of these latter day*, have noxiously aimed at stimulating Indus try and production by so arranging taxes that tho burden etyould,(ajl mostly on the consumer, or ut least that It should Lo distributed ns •finally as possible between consumers and pro ducers. Itft» the amount of the production of a country wMeb makes it prwperous, and any im post which tends to check production is unwise. ' orcr *’•*'?? "’** a (mire direct tax laid upon production limit the one we are discussing, and it will be found by experience, asil can be now demonstrate! beyond a peradve iturc, tlmt this tax will lmfe tlw same effect as all others of the samo nature,.sud if the.object be v> raise reve nue that it will defeat its owu interest. We suppoiio Some idouily plea haunted the brains of the ‘Coifgrcsstonal legislators that, at last, the t.tx might full U|Km tho consumer, nbroad and ‘at home. But the war should have taught them some lessnrts which statesmen would have regarded. The experience es the last four yeprs should have tauglit them that «■ her couu gplpPff'frW»■ short pc ' riddf almost slipped from our grasp All other cotton producing countries doubled and quadra pled their product during the war, end Continued high prices, whether produced by war, taxation, *r by whatever rauro, will so nourish aud enlarge cum petition in production, es|iuoially in tlruse countries where labor cau bo luid at half,the price that it can be had here, that our woooply cannot be maintained. Even in so apparently indispensable an article as cotton, ths experience of the war again shows that high prices dimiui»h consumption. Thus ths enormous tax i* likely to prove a two-edged sword, it cuts both ways. It appears inevitable that its eflwct will lie to diminish production here, and consumption everywhere else. Shirt*, and like gnrraents, are considered artiejes of prime necessity bymost of the human race, but men will find something else to make them of, besides cotton, if that article is too costly. The war demonstrated that such substitutes could be found end that cotton was used mainly on ac count of its liytitbr thWipnoss, Silk, Wolil and othor textile substance* took thephtco of cotton and were found bettor and cheaper, When the ingenuity of mad lb set to work to supply hia own wants cheaply it seldom fails him, and”there is besides a sentiment of gratification in a suc cessful nttoiuffirtp'defeat the measures ot those who atrive to reap a harvest of taxiuiotr out of the wants of mankind. We liave a little hope that the policy of til. ling the goose .which lays golden eggs .for the eountiy will bo 'defeated in tho Senate.' 'ITu-re certainly must bc »>me one there who can show that the tax is neither jnst, politic or wise and that as a nteu&t of reweoue it will disappoint the cx|>«|(atiais of its advocates and be total tu the industry of the South. Cuomoa among Meats.—-A singular and very fatal disease Occurred on the 10th of April among the Indies in Some parts of Louisiana and Mississippi which in three days swept off nearly one half the mules in tho eoetipn of the country ia which it appeared. One plantation at Baris Bend, Mississippi, lost eighty head of mules iu Vsodnys and tuaiiy others from ten to twenty. t|s. Very few horses w.cre attacked. The symptoms resembled colic, but none of the usual remedies for that disease had any effect add it is supposed to have been a species of Cholera. After three days the disease disappeared almost as suddenly as it appeared. Is’u body seems to su'pert that poistn may have had something to do with it.

The Great Freshcta ia the Miisiasippi Fearful Destruction of Property. Our New Orleans exchanges cotuo to us filled with accounts of the lute freshets of the Missis sippi river and her tributaries, enuring great suf feting ami a terrible destruction of property.— Tho ievens, it apjwars, have given way in sever al places, and tvliole sections havo become inun dated. Speaking of the l’ackwood plantation ci es esse, die New Orleans Timet says that en giuee-s and workmen had gone to work on its repair twenty miles below the city. Already the break is three feet deep, and the water pours' itig over it quite freely submerging the country opposite, The Times hopes, however that the workmen may be able to stop it before much further damage will bo done. This part of the levee is spoken of as having been very w eak, and much blame is attached to the commissioners for not sooner strengthening it. This crevasse is three acres wide, and the water is threatening to overwhelm nmr.y plantations in the Parish of tit. Bernard. Considerable alarm exist, and every offort is being made to stay the tide—the poople turned out with alacrity to repair the break. At rapides.the Alexander Democrat says, that for the last month there has been rain, the crops blrve suffered terribly, and the river is bank full and rising at the rate of four inches an hour, which was a fearful pressure upon the levees— weak in many places—and much danger is ap prehended. The Ledger, published at Bayou Sara, has been removed to the hill top the pro prietor expecting an overflow and the distraction of bis office. At Avoyelles the quamity of rain has been great, aud entire plantations have been flooded ami the crops destroyed by the overflow of the streams. Upper Red river was falling at the latest advices, but the heavy rains had done serious damage to the crops At Shreveport, says the Unreal e of tlmt place, the river was falling, hut the lakes were still rising, with prospectsof continued rain, and uueasiness was felt of further damage from high water. The Clinton (Miss.) Democrat says that rain continues to fall ruinously, retarding the farmers from planting their crop's. With these gleanings from our elianges of the dninages bv the freshet, we submit the following amusing mishap from the Monroe (La.) Inteligvncer. A ettieen of Monroe, one day this week, in the cool liou-s of early morning, entered an outhouse built upon th e edge of the bank overlooking the river, now at its highest point, and in a moment house and man weut tumbling into tho stream below. Our friend explored the depths ol the river and then rose to the surface, to find himself still In closed within the wads of the house, partlv Sub merged and rapidly floating off in the current. The dauger of the situation lent energy to his efforts, and finding an opening in the bouse he crawled out incontinently and struck out for the hank, which was reached with difficulty and with Ids strength exhausted. Thrusting his fingers iuto the saud, heth-we anchored until two freed men came to Ida assistance and lif ed him upon terra firms. Moral—don’t go info outhouses perched over the river, upon a cawing honk, early iu the morning. Ms*.' 3vt. Dam—Eobtrcw MoNecz,- May 3—Mrs. Jeff. Davis arrived here this morning. Her vouogest child (a sprightly girl, twenty months old,) a colored man servant, poeocssiog the stalwart fore , and fierce moustache of a Rus sian grenadier, four trunks of immensely large proportions, and a travelling basket oWhe larg est pattern bore her company. Upon landing she vent to the Hygeia Hotel, adjacent to llie wharf, and without stopping to change her trav eling dress, or even removing her borioe*. break farted,And then sent a message inside the fort announcing her arrival and the permission of President Johnson elm bore with her to vieit her husband. 'Meantime the news of her presence nl the hotel spread rapidly, and a revdius of anx ifus persons soon gathered about to get a look her. With admirable not to «ny an agreeblc equanimity of temper—probably the result, to «ui e extern, or p.ut-unii.tr expe riences—ahe submitted to tho painful necessity of bemj-giued at. At half past eight o’clock Lieut. Fesscndrii, s!li United States Artillery, waited noun hjr to escort Iser inshla the fort. ’Her child accompa nied them. She was taken to Gen. Mile*’ heaifi quarters, who received her with every politeness and consideration due her position.lTnder oth er circumstances she might have striven more scduously, perhaps, to evoke the most favorable impression possible upon the ciiafodian of her husband,but lufr groat anxiety wu to proceed at. once to her husband’s place of confinement and see him. Bhe wanted to see how he had borne hia imprisonment, whether he wos eirkor well, and learn all'about him. She wa*n*t kept long Mr. Davis bad been apprised of her coming. Within fifteen minutes from the time of her admission to the fort she wa* with him in Carroll Hall. Lieut. Fessenden still lore her company. She lms remained with Mr. Davis all day, and took dinner with him. An officer las been constantly In the same room. What GruxAV Lxnoevsi Rnji'inx-—Tnc Co lumhus(Oa ) RntjUirer alluding to the recent im portatiou of German immigrants in that acctiott, intimates that tin; experiment may toil. We are told tlmt the German laborers are ac customod to at home, aud would require here, a bowl of soup orcoffiee early iu the morning before they do any kind of work; then breakfast at eight, consisting of bread and generally of cheese, Urd. smoked bacon, or sausage, and a mtion of whisky—half hour for this apeak dinner at noon, consisting of thick soup made of potatoes, turnips, beaqp, peas,abeiled tnrlcy or oats, boiled with potatoes, and seasoned with onions fried in lard nr bacon—ooo hour for this meal; a four o'clock meal, similar in all respects to the breakfast half hour; and supper after all work of the day is done, consisting of boiled potatoes, soup, milk. Ac. The bread to be leavened, bread made of bolted ive. To flit tbit bill of fare would require of the Southern planter not only a material change in his hours of eating, hut a very great change in the kind es food and manner of rooking it. The old system of raising nearly all the provisions on the plantation would have to be changed— for our planters do not like cheese, nor can they grow onions to advantage, nor can they keep the Irish potatoes of their own raising for any length of time. All oftlihse articles, a* well as beans, would have to be bought in most from the North. With rye flour they are almost wholly unacquainted; they could produce it in great abundance*, but would have to neenstom themselves to the useof it. Tin- expense* of th» plantation would be materially increased by this substitution of Northern for Southern articles of food. Qi-kks Victoria Cosmfihxrn Purr ASS —A London letterh) the New York Tribune has the following interesting passage; “Au inter esting anecdote oftha Queen’s humanity and at tachment to her army lias just come to my kmiwl edge. You may hare noticed iu the uo'wa from Ireland the trial of Sergeant Darragh for Fenian ism, of which he was found guilty and sentenced lo b« shot. When the warrant was brought to tlw Queen for signature, her consent was urgent ly solicit'd on the ground of the necessity of los ing an example, and at length obtained, though she burst into tears in the act of according it. Within an hour afterward alio sent for the war rant again and tore it to pieces—and God bless her for itl The act will effect mote toward ex tirpating Feninnism in the ranks—if it exists there—than all tho constables, spies, lawyers, judges and hangmen within the fair seas of Britain could do. The Intelligencer tells of a bold roherry at Atlanta on Saturday. A two*hnrse Government wagon had been sent to tho freedman's camp to convey rations, and was returning to the city empty. When it had rcachcdlhc corporate limits, | or therealunit, two men armed with colt’s repeat ers stepped from the bushes and demanded the driver to hall, at the same time presenting the pistols to his head, with the modest request, that he would deliver over “those lioraes.” 't he party having inchargo the wagon being unarmed, n’o resistance was made, when the two highwaymen quietly unloosed the harness, mounted the horses, and galloped off iu regular “Dick Turpin” style.— Tho transaction took place in broatj daylight No suspicion is attached to anr ona in particular. Nearly all the claimants of the cotton seised by the Government at Savannah have commenced suits in the United States District court of New York, against Simeon Draper, cotton agent, for the recovery of the value of the cotton. At a law club, the president called on an old lawyer to give as a ton»t the person whom he considered the best friend ofth* profession. Cer tainly, was the response, “tho man who makes his own will” Coal has been found near Parkersburg, Butler county, lowa.
