PLANTING COTTON.
Mi Tl.weatt, the Comptroller General, has is
■ ed notice to the Tax Receivers and Collectors of
he State, by authority of the Governor, to return
the number of acres planted in cotton by each
uJividual, with the view of collecting a tax on it.
Al.-o, that they give in the number of acres planted
in corn and other grain. Having traveled some
within a few weeks past in the cotton counties
le-luw, we have not seen or heard of any one
planting but u very few acres—generally, only
enough for home consumption. The largest amount
wo saw was a field of forty acres.
‘THuMASViLLE WEEKLY TIMES ’*
Anew paper has been commenced at that place,
by T. J. Womb well, Esq., late of Feruandina.—
The papers heretofore published at Thomasville
Live been discontinued. The Editor must be a

1 Hood luck to you.
In consequence of the extremely high puce of
paper, it might not be out of place to remind our
miot contemporaries of the resorts made by the
imnds of the Western Slates during the war of
Shi, when it was scarcely possible to procure pa
pevor iiik. Each subscriber provided himself with
♦ iurtvcotton cloth of the proper size,carried it. to
f r* o/ijee on the day of pqhlicqtipu, when it vyaa
[ lilted with the beat quality of swamp mud. When
ha subsi-liber and bis neighbors bad read it, the
“ and was washed out, and the cloth returned to
'he printer for a further investment of the news.
All credence may be given to this remeniseenee,
’ die news of the day is, to a “reliable gentleman”
who bna passed through Adnata, or to a tt-le

the Kant Tennessee 1 01 ies who passed down on

1 m indignation meeting, and urged Gov. Grown
o turn them hack. We do not vouch for the
■ r "ht ol this report in every particular; hut one
thine is certain, the tories were turned back.
There were probably two good reasons for
"turning these prisoners back” —one is, that a
•rtion of the walls ol the Penitentiary are now
owu for the purpose of its enlargement; the oth
r mi> ht have been that they were unfit associates
*'u' the deuueiis of that moral institution. They
ouid have been better accomodated in our mar

were all evacuated on the 26ih, in haste and with
considerable loss of supplies—dismounting but not
destroying the guns at Fort Pike. All the build

An operator has goiie to the limits ot the city to

Below 1* a veibnlini copy ot the speech made by
Leslie Combs, at Nashville, on the reception there
of Andy Johnson. It was a report of the New
\ ork Herald :
Fellow citizens : When Andy Johnson and I last
met, four hostile armies were on the soil of old
Kentucky. Now, when we thus meet not a damned
rebel toot disgraces it. They have been driven
Iroin our State to the Southern extremity ot his,
and already the banner he loved so well is floating
over its capital. And Mr. Johnson will find when
In- arrives at Nashville, that 100,000 men are theje
in arms, ready to help him rid the State of the
damned scoundrels and drive them iuto the Gulf
of Mexico.
Gkttinu at thk Truth. —As our own ofliceis will
not give us full reports, we must await the com
parison <»f different Northern reports for the truth
concerning island No. 10. A correspondent of the
St. Louis Republican reports :
On Island No. 10 there are five batteiies and
twenty two guns, but tew tents and no property,
except cannon balls, that can be made available.
The Island was abandoned by all but gunners a
week since.
There is now excellent opportunity to notice
and hear ot the effects produced by huge mortar
shells. Holes, as if auimals had burrowed, are
visible where the missiles ltd} without exploding,
and large trees are broken like twigs. Where the
fuse proved true, and they did burst, their destruc
tive properties are apparent—timber tor a hundred
yatds around bearing scars, and hollows being
scooped out of the earth. Yet, from the great
precaution taken by the enemy, onlv three men
were killed, although the prisoners tell of many
narrow escapes.
'I he surrender ol the town of Froderii-L-ahnrg
without a show of resistance, when we had a con
siderable force in the immediate neighborhood,
excites some indignant remarks, says the Rich
mond itixpatek, but it seems to have been the
urgent desire of the authorities that no defence
should be made.
The question occurs, are we to be defended by
Generals and armies, or by such very civil and
incompetent authorities as ruled in Nashville, Fred
ericksburg and other places. Charleston Conner.
Thk Doom ok thk Rebel Lkadi ks. —Col. Rich*
artlson, ol the Military committee of the House is
preparing a proposition for tire punishment of the
double-eyed traitors who have added perjury to
treason. It will require the confinement and re
fusal so exchange ol all prisoners who may he
taken or arrested as onr armies advance, that have
taken the oath of duty and service to the United
States. This wdl include senators, representatives,
officers of the at my and navy, and indeed all who
who have been the recipients of tljis bounty of the
nation whether in fame or profit. This measure
will secure the proper punishment of the rebel
leaders, while it draws a broad distinction between
them and their infatuated followers.—Philadel

Bus parish have commenced making their own and
their children ?i shoes, and they do very good work.
We have seen several pairs ot these home made
shoes, and they are not only strong, but tlmy aie
very well proportioned. The cheapest way that
they make them is to take soles ot the old shoes,
soak them in water until they are very limber,
pick out the old stitches, til them to the la-it after
the cloth is fiiled to the same, sew the sole to the

done. It is cheap, servicable, and a very good

Richmond, 27th.—Official despatches re
ceived this morning state that the enemy’s
fleet had approached New Orleans and de
manded a surrender. General Lovell refus
ed to surrender, aud evacuated the city with
his troops, falling back to Camp Moore, on
the Jaekson Railroad after destroying all
the cotton and public property which he was
unable to remove, ihe new iron clad stea

falling into the possession of the enemy.
Nothing is *aid about the Louisiana.
Kirn MONO, 25.—The city is excited to
day by ad.terse rumors from New Orleans.
Nulliiug official has transpired, except se
vere lighting af the Forts yesterday. The
silence of she telegraph causes painful ex

Nothing new from she Peninsula. Ex
pectation.- ot a battle there diminished. It
in teported that the enemy are sending
troops up the Rappahannock.

The foregoing is however reliable.
Memphis, April la, 1862.—The Confed
erates have cut the levees on the Aarkausas
side of the river, above Fort Pillow, thus
flooding the country. This is done to pre
vent the enemy advancing on that side. On
the Tennessee side the Fort is so well protec

Phi la i>KM-H i a , Apiilla.—Ex-Secretary Cameron
was arrested in ibis city to day on a warrant issued
by the Sheiift’s officers, on complaint of Pierce
Butler, tor alleged illegal detainer in Fort La*-
fayette.
To-night a hundred citizens, headed by a num
ber of public officers, visited the residence of Mr.
Butler and regaled him with the noise of horns,
fiddles, and other discordant instruments.
Mr. Cameron had made ready to startler Europe
at an early period, and this arrest will materially
interfere with hi* arrangements.
Mr. Wall and friends, of Burlington, N. J., have
been in town all day, waiting to castigate Mr.
Cameron for the arrest of Mr. Wall last fall.
The evSeeretai y is guarded by the United States
Marshal, the District Attorney, and otheis. For
the present Mr. Cameron has declared his inteivtion
not to sail for Russia until the case in question is

The arrest took him entirely by surprise, and
occasioned much mortification.

RICHARD CTRL), C. C.
t'ctleral Organization in Florida.
The Federal army occupying Jacksonville,
Fla , attempted a few days before the time
of their reported evacuation of the place, to
organize a bogus State Government, similar
to the oue put forth by them iu North
Carolina. Tire called a convention of the
“people” of Duval, Nassau, (’lay, Put
nam, Volusia, Orange, and Brevard counties,
to nxscuiHo at JackSOUt 1110 Oil the lOtli 111.5 t.,
to proceed to the election of officers of a State
Government; and they “ nominated” for
those stations; Jas. Remington (formerly of
New’ York) for Governor; C. L. Robinson
(late of Massachusetts) for Secretary of State;
J D. Mitheil (root doctor from Connecticut;
for Comptroller; J. W. Price for Treasurer;
Philip Frazier (lawyer from Pensylvania)
for Attorney General ; aud C. S. Emory
(school teacher from Massachusetts) for Con
gress. Price aloue, of all their nominees, is
a native of the South.
But this petty humbug seem l ? to have
bt-eu exploded even before it could be fully
developed. The Telegraph reports that the
Federalists evacuated Jacksonville on the Bth
(twodays before the time for their “election")
and that the Confederates now have posses
sion of the town, ft is to be presumed that
tho Federal* took off their nominees with
them, and that they will not find it conveni
ent to “canvass’ in the usual way ter the
: support of the people '1 hey need not • 1 de
cline” however, for they will answer tor any
other locality as well as Florida, and the;
Federal* may take them dow to Key West,
or to Ship Island, and have them elected
yet, bv proper energy and determination.— i
