Washington, September 17, h":J. The Statistician of the Department of Agriculture, Mr. Dodge, has returned from Europe and after s careful revision of the monthly returns, gives the fol lowing as the present st tos of the cotton crop: The indicated increase of area is s litt’e over ton per cent. The condition of the crop is higher than in September of last year. In Arkansas it is the same a? in Tennessee and Louisiana. In each of the other cotton states the worms have been more abundant, yet their ravages have been disastrous or sweeping in few cases. The season has been remarkable for its rain-full, tending to further the depreciation of the crop, otherwise the conditions have been quite favorable. Fertilizers have stimulated the growth, and labor has been steadier and more reliable.

ANOTHER ACCOUNT. j The Report of the Committee of the New Orleans Cotton Exchange. New Orleans, September 17. Tbe Cotton Exchange Committee, on information and statistics under data of 15th instant, make the following report, condensed lrom letters received from August 31 to Sept 12. I a answer to interrogato ries sent out daring the month of August, Mississippi sends 54 answers from 09 counties. Reports are very couflic’ing in regard to the weath er; some complaining of too much rain and seme too little. Caterpillars and boll worms have nearly every where appeared, and while they have done bat little damage on some plantations, on others they have cut short the prospects very considerably. Great fear is expressed that the top crop will be entirely lost, espe cially where the plant is tackward. Complaints of rot and mat are likwiae serious and will materially decrease these results in many counties, while in some others no | damage from these sources is reported. Picking H. L.

The general character of the Internal Revenue. Washington , September 17,1873. The Commissioner of Internal Revenue decides that a planter engaged in making a crop • liable to pay special tax as a dealer < tobacco furnish* d iu supply to hands employed Such tobacco is to bo paid for out of tbo crop produced. The Commissioner says the law do?s not impose this tax on every person who shall sell, or offer for sale as in case of liquor dealers, but upon every person whose business it is to sell, or offer for sale, manufac tured tobacco, and he does not think furnishing hands with tobacco, to be paid for as stated, con stitutes such a business as the law contemplates. The Commissioner of Internal Revenue calls atten tion to the act of Congress of December 24, 1872, re- quirinj every person liable to special tax to exhibit conspicuously in place of bneiceas the stamp denoting payment of such tax, aud directs that persons engaged in telling tobacco or cigars on railroad trains be re quired to have their tax stamps properly framed, so that it may be hung up in a conspicuous place “ tail. where such tales are authorized to be made at PENNSYLVANIA. ige Bill***—Ttoe Attorney.Gen- I Leave* It to the Governor, nml the Governor Decide* to Pay Tlieir F*«ll Fare.

It will be remembered that In 1862 and 186:) the Legislature author ized the issue of $200,000 in small bills by the West era and Atlantic railroad, as a convenience to the pub lic. These bills were redeemable in taxes or any dnea to the State, :n freight or passage upon the Western and Atlantic railroad, or in bank bills when presented to the Western and Atlantic road wherevet in sums of $50.

At length the holders of the bills laid before Council i . . , . become clamorous, and in August of 18<2, a committee was appointed by tbe Legislature to lo< k into the matter. An Auditor, MB. J.

He further reports , | that he has received up to this date, only $23,116 50 ! of these bill*. He accounts for this difference on the j ground that a great many of the bills were destroyed : or thrown away as worthless, at the close of the war: ‘ and ou the additional ground that a large number of i the bills are now held in Hamilton ccnnty, Tran., and the boldorc will not give them up, as they are no-v suing the W.

To the Editors of the Herald : The postoffice Mas moved last Saturday lrom the courthouse in Gainesville to the de pot, three-quarters cf a mile out ot town. This matter has Wen talked of a great deal for tho last few months; but, so unreasonable ; did the thing uppexr, that the better portion , of our citizens thought it would not be done. Three-tourth* ot the mail matter delivered at this office, for the country, is called for on ! the opposite a Me of tho courthouse lrom the railroad; nine tenths of the local mail matter is for the old town. Thtre are thirty-three active busiuess houses in the old town, against five at the depot—<37 50 box rent paid in the old, nguicst $2 50 in the new-—about $35 00 postage on newspnjiers in the old, and $5 00 in the uewr— about forty dalies taken in the old town and country above (most of which will be suspended for the present), against three or tour in the new. Many other weighty reasons might be meu- tioued to show the unfairness and meanness in moving the post-cfficc from the business and people in Gainesville, to the depot, for the convenience and personal benefit of three , or four adventurers, who have a little proper- ; ty near the depot- the main oue a non-tesi- dent, an extreme copperhead from the North- wed, who frequently remarked in the last uuipaigu that he would vote for a negro steps to work a change XI.
