Les ter commanding: Company B—Lieut W R Abbott com manding. March 10th—Wounded : Lieut W R Ab bott, in arm slightly Mr. Editor : In your issue of Tuesday morning,'you published a communication from Captain Norman McDuffie, which pro fesses to give “the circumstances connected with the seizure and detention of the steam er ‘‘Comet” at this place (Hawkinsville,) with a cargo of cotton designed for the Yau kees.” As there are many misrepresenta tions of fact in said communication, I beg a place in your columns, to give a statement of lacts as they occurred. I was ordered by Maj. Gen. Cobb to pro ceed with flag of truce to Savannah, to ne gotiate for the exchange of prisoners, was inst ructed to take the steamer “Comet at Hawkinsville, and proceed to Doctortown, and there get an escort of cavalry and go overland to Savannah. I was instructed by Gen. Cobb, to permit Mr. Asher Ayres to take down two hundred bales of cotton, he having agreed to exchange the same for bacon, salt and iron for the use of the Gov ernment. I was authorized to put such number of bales on board as I deemed nec essarv, to defray expenses to and from Sa vannah, of self and escort. When the steamer arrived at Hawkins ville on Monday night, she' commenced to take on board the cotton necessary to com plete her complement of bales. About 11 o'clock that night I was awakened by my servant, who stated that Capt. McDuffie de sired to see me. Capt. McDuffie entered, accompanied by Capt. Mitchell, the enroll ing officer for that county. Capt. McDuffie said, Capt. Mitchell had controll of all the transportation on the river, and desired to know by what authority I wa-i acting. 1 expressed my willingness to show my au thority, and was in the act of taking the paper out of my satchel, when my attention was attracted to a number of boisterous cit izens who had entered my apartment. I then tcld Capt. McDuffie that I declined to recognize Capt. Mitchell's demand, backed as it was by a mob. They all then withdrew, and as I subsequently ascertained, went to (he boat and took possession of her. Capt. McDuffie atterwards returned to ex plain his position; said he was my friend; that he hatl nothing to do with the mob; t hat, he was at home asleep, when called up on by Capt. Mitchell to accompany him to my apartment, etc. I then exhibited my papers to him, and he expressed himself perfectly satisfied. He fatther stated that .he was aDxious to get some cotton through, and had been a long time trying to make some arrangements to that end; that he would like very much to ship ten or twonty bales on the boat. I rcplieil I had no au thority to grant any such peimit. He said he thought all opposition would be with drawn on the part of the citizens; and that he would advise my leaving early in the morning. When 1 went to the boat at about 6 o’clock, I found all the guards had been removed. I ordered steam to be raised. About the time I was leaving, Capt McDuffie came on b ard and said I would be bushwhacked if I attempted to go without, satisfying the people, and begged me to ac company him up town for that purpose. I at first declined, but subsequently yielded, lie assuring me that I would have no diffi culty; that he. would aid me in every way. At the first grocery he came to, he put his head in the half closed door, and in a whis per loud enough to be heard by myself and others, said. “Boys, get your guns, steam is up.” I then told him of hi? duplicity, in the presence of his crew. He ordered them io the boat. I returned and ordered Capt. Horne to cast off and proce d down the liver, but he declined, saying he had pledg ed his word not to go until McDuffie with drew all opposition! and that he was fear ful the mob would burn Lis house and other properly. „ . . Atiout this time a number of citizens came to me aud begged I would remain quietly on board and they would go and ar range matters with McDuffie and others. About noon, tiny returned and said all had been arranged, and I w^s in the act of leav ing, when McDuffie appeared, with his com pany, havit g, he said, changed hia mind, and swoie the boat should not leave. He subsequently sent Captain Mitchell to arfest Col. Ciaghoi n and Mr. Bowers. I told Capt. M. I should resist any attempt to arrest,and he retired. I then, with my party, went to the hotel to spend the night, determining to Ftart the next morning by private convey ance, for Savaunah. i JYfiiie awaiting at the ferry the next ! moruiug, Capt. McDuffie, with his compa- H JV approached me, and told me he had come to arrest me, CoL Claghorn and Mr. Bowers. H2 was accompanied by Col. Goode. I told him I wou’d not be arrested, nor should he arrest either of the two gen tlemen named; that I would repel force with force. Tu»s brought about a parley, Capt. McDuffie says when it was made apparent that I was acting under orders from Gen. Cobb, no effort was made to de tain me, and I was told I could take the boat and proceed to Doctortown on condi tion that I would not take the cotton to sell to the Yankees. The revese of this is the truth. He knew from the first inception of his interference, that I was acting under orders. Instead of offering the boat to me upon the terms above stated, I made that proposition to him in writing, pledging myself that every bale} should be returned when the boat came back; that if it were possible to discharge the cotton within a reasonable time, I would do so; but in the then stage of the river it was impossible to land it short of forty-eight hours, and the mission I was on was one of such importance, I w«s willing to make any concession to prevent delay. I further in vited him, if he had any doubts of my sin cerity, to send a committee down with me, to see that my obligations were complied with—all of which he positively declined. He says in his communication, that Mr. Asher Ayres did not claim the cotton noi did he assert that he had Gen. Cobb’s per mission to take the cotton down. I posi tively essert that Mr. Ayers did, time and again, mention both facts to him. Mr. Ayres proposed in addition to my proposi tion, to give a bond of $500,000, conditioned that every bale of cotton should return iu the boat It Captain McDuffie means to in sinuate that I offered him the opportunity to ship cotton, he simply asserts a falsehood. I felt confident all the time, that a proposi tion of that kind from me would remove all objections; indeed, 1 was so informed by his friends. Mr. Ayres being approached in like manner, told his friends that no more cotton could go on board, but that he would loan him tenor twenty bales of his cotton it he would yield the point. Capt. McDuffie did agree to this aDd sent him word to that effect, which was the occasion of our raising steam, as before referred to, but he subse quently changed his mind when he found some of the citizens from the country had come in and opposed it. tie then became again very patriotic, acd swore the boat should never leave until the c itton was taken off. In conclusion, I would advise the gentle man who wrote the communication lor Capt. McDuffla, to be certain of his tacts in the future, and not rely upon statements which I have shown to be groundless. Very respectfully, etc , C. A. L.

Froaa U13 Co’uaihm Enquirer. CFINTEREST TO TAX-PAYERS. We have before us a pamphlet circular of instructions to the Receivers of Tax Re turns, given by the Comptroller General of Georgia. As we presume that each tax re ceiver and tax collector of the State have received copies of this circular, we shall not repeat the instructions relating exclusively to their action. But the circular contains also information of interest to tax payers, which we glean for their benefit. It is made the duty of the receivers to assess a double value upon the property of all defaulters, and neither the $200 nor any other deduction is allowed on any default property. , 9 Besides the special taxes heretofore iia posed on professions, the following to be returned : To carry on the business of Auc tioneer, $10 ; to keep a Billiard or Pool Ta ble, $25; to keep a Ten Pin Alley, or alley of like kind, $10; to keep any other table stand or place for any other game or play $10; to keep a public race track, $50. All Georgia State Bonds, except those taken by administrators or guardians, and all Confederate States Bonds, are liable to tax alion. In consequence of the great inequality in the valuation ot slaves throughout the State in previous years, the last Legislature pro vided for a uniform rate of valuation, to . be determined by the Comptroller General who was required to receive the valuations of the Justices of the Inferior Courts of the several counties, and to ascertain the aver age. This duty the Comptroller has now performed, and has instructed the tax re csivers to return tbe following variations for ?lav< s: Slaves under two years of age valued at $ 370 00 Slaves from 2 to 0 years of age, valued at 733 0j Slaves from 12 to 16 years of age-, valued at 2,894 00 Male slaves from 16 to 25 yrs of age, valued at 3,600 00 Female do from 16 to 25 yrs do do 2,1S7 00 Male do from 25 to 85 yrs do do . 3,443 00 Female do from 25 to 35 yrs do do 2,S50 00 Male do from 85 to 45 yrs do do 2,76S 00 Female do from 35 to 45 yrs do do 2,057 00 Male do from 45 to 55 yrs do do 1,652 00 Female do from 45 to 55 yrs do do 1,134 00 Male do from 55 to 65 yrs do do 663 00 Female do from 55 to 65 yrs do do 410 00 Filty per cent is to be added to any slave of any of the ages above, who is a mechanic following his trad , or who is a body ser vam, a coschmau, or a seamstress. To an ticipate inquiries,!.will remark that I think a body servant within the meaningpf the law, is a jlave whose constant or general occupation' is to wait upon his master or other person as a body servant, a coachman is one whose general occupation is to drive a coach or carriage, and a seamstress is one whose general occupation is that of sewing. AH other property to be entered at its market value in Confederate Tre isury notes on the 1st day of April, 1865. In case ot disagreement as to values between tbe tax payer and the receiver, arbitration is pro vided for. Tbe Comptroller makes the following enumeration of the persons and business taxed by the Income Tax Act for this year (which has. already been pnblished by us.) By the first section of the above, you will see that a’l persons or bodies corporate, ma king income or profits by purchase and sale of auy property, real or personal—ali keep ers of hole's, inns, livery stables, or mana gers of express companies or railroad com panieSjJnot protected by its charter against this tax; managers of the Insurance Ccm pany; or as a broker or auctioneer; or in the manufacture and sale of iron, salt, syr up, fl.rnr, meal, grits, hominy, or wooden ware; upon all profits arising from the sale of goods, wares and merchandize, groceries and provisions ; also on all profiis from the purchase and sale of cottou or tobacco, and the manufacture and sale of cotton and woollen goods; in the tanning aud sale of leather, and the manufacture and sale ol any article made thereof; or in the sale of, oi the distillation and sale of alcohol or spirituctn liquors—all such persons or bo dies corporate, when they make a return of fhtir taxable property for the General Siate Tax. are also required to return to you, un der oath, the nett income of profi-’s made respec’. vely by them over and above 10 per cent, on their capital stock employed as above, during the year, from the* first day of April, 18G4, to the first day of April, 1865.
