In the Era of the 8th Inst. 1 saw, and still continue to see, a flourishing notice addressed to certain closer, of the 3d Con gressional District, signed by John G. Westmoreland, as Chairman of an Execu tive Committee. Notv, I would Inquire, tor the Information of all Me people, not a part, who created and empowered this ccmmltteo with inch tremendous influence in this part of the world ? I suppose, is a matter of course, tills committee gave Dr. Westmoreland the special rvjhl to act as their organ to call the mosses together whenever his political proclivities deem It necessary. Hut let us Inquire who Is Dr. Important Decision Relative to In ternal Revenue.—Tho commission of In ternal Revenue has made the following decisions, which effect business and trade Corrugated sheet-iron is not taxable as a nianufacturu under section DO, If tho value Is not Increased by corrugation moro than B per cent., nor can corrugated domestic Iron he taxed on Its Increased valuo under section OS: for there Is no excise tax upon iron, and It Is only on the Increased value of tho manufactured goods, ware# or meiv chandlse on which an extra or special duty liaa been paid. Furnaces finished and ready to be put up arc taxable under the general provisions of section Dll, at the rate of 6 per cent, upon their entire value; but the actual expense of setting them up for use forms no part of their taxable value. When land is leased for a term of years under a contract that tho lossec shall erect a building thereon, tho title to which, sub ject to tho use of the lessee during the term, Immediately vests In tho lessor, the expense of erecting the building Is In the naturo of rent, and Is returnable as sueli In the Income returns of the lessor.

Let us, therefore, before we assay to take part In National politics, put our selves in a position where our disabilities may he removed, and whero we; can lie recognized as equals in the contest.

Among other Items of Intercot and Im portance, to w hich allusion w*as made by him, one of remarkable character merits more than ordinary comment—the ab sence of all nnnoylng differences between himself and thoso with whom It bad fallen to his lot to be associated, and whose inter est his official acts roast necessarily more or lost affect. His appointment to other scenes of responsibility and effort in con nection with the movement* and interests of the church, will be an occasion of sad ness to those hitherto so harmoniously con nected with him as a leader and manager.

Then why all tills parade and newspaper notoriety about “Conservative Conventions?” 1 do not call In question the patriotism or motives of the gentleman, or his right as a citizen.

Natiosai Financial Honor.—The fol lowing letter from Secretary McCulloch, addressed to a gentleman In New York, in relation to the finances of the Government, Is published In the late dispatches of the Western American Press: Tkeabitrv Defautuknt, Oct. 7,18G7. Dkah Sib—Your favor of the 4th Inst. Is received. Too much Importance is attached to tho utterance to which you refer.

' ' Pinsv Fnosr.—igsiqUeman from Bryan county reports Up appearance of a slight blc, so disgusting ns hypocrisy. To see a miserable, deceitful, slimy hypocrite who, ibr tho better accomplishment of a mean anil unworthy purpose, attaches himself tn some popular hrurn-k of thu Christian Church, ami then conform Ills secret habits and private life tn the standard of the black-guard, I* enough to Inspire contempt tor onr species. Ilut when wc sec a man who, to your face, makes solemn protesta tions of personal friendship, and then slink off and seek the first opportunity to do- fame you, It te seo the embodiment of tho meanest and aioet cowardly spirit. Such men are rare In this world; and yet aucli monsters do live and have tholr being amongst us. It was some such creature a* this, that seduced Kvc, and who betrayed the Savior in Gethomana. Thomasvillh.—A subscriber writing >n from the above named place says: “ We are all ‘O. K.’ Wo have nominated candidates for ConrenUon without one dissenting voice. The following Is tho ticket: W. C.

Htatua tiiat “Groat ani mation reigns at Toulon in consequence of tlie nows from Italy. Contradictory ru mors are in circulation there. According to some, there was a question of sending a squadron of cavalry to watch tlie Roman coast, and the order for its departure would shortly bo sent to Ajaccio, where Admiral Gucydon is stationed. Tho Minister of War was shortly expected to arrive at Tou lon, and every arrangement hud been made for embarking troops If necessary.

Ills mission, however, was a mystery to no one. Tho apprehen sion of the leader of the enterprise Is by ne means unlikely to ptralyzo the whole movement. His reliance upon a spontan eous movement at Rome seems to be a strange delusion, as them elements of dis order nave no chanco against tho military strength which can be arrayed against them.

Wheat— 77io Time for Soietnj it.—Tho first thing to he dono Is to mnkc up your mind to sow n largo breadth of land in tills Important and best of all the cereals. Thu present and past prices for years gone by is a sufficient argument to convince you of the propriety and profits to bo derived by ndoptlng the suggestion. There aro very many persons In tlie community whoso means of living will not allow tho dally uso of flour. In a land and climate so fer tile and genial as this the fault must lie with man and not natural in causes. Tho selection of a pure article of seed wheat is highly essential to tho growth of this crop. There aro very many varieties, but, af ter all have been tried, wo Incline to tho opinion that tho red May whoat Is tho best variety for this section. It has stood tho test longest and 4icst; other kinds linvo been introduced, but generally thoy soon deteriorate, and ultimately run out. This Is especially truo of tho white and Medi terranean and Bluo Beard. Tho Beil Chaff Is a good variety, but It wastes and scatters very much In shocking and stacking. Seed wheat should Invariably lie taken to the mills and run through tho smutters to cleanse It of cheat ami infected grains.

Ills remarks are thus report- ri: ■General Rosencrans was repeatedly cheered, anil was visibly affected by the venhuslaam hla appearance among them excited. Ho spoke very modestly of him self. He said he presented himself before self. He sain he presented hlmscir before that large assembly with great emotion.— He did not expect to be a speaker when he entered the hall, nor should he he ono now. He bcggeil.to assure them that ho received their salutation more In the light of a token of their faith in the Union cause than ns a luanefestatlon of personal respect forhlniself. He thanked them, therfore, In the name of tho Union cause, rather than by a personal response. It was not neces sary for him to speak of tho local Issues, because he did not understand nor take auy Interest In them, ne was there be cause he thought the election would have an Influenceon tho Eastern elections, In regard to the reconstruction of the States now In trouble. He would say that what- everthe hopes, wishes or desires In other respects of the Union men—In which clas sification he Included good Democrats— sm that nothing obstructs tho restoration of the Union, when the Democrats came te see him, and they were war Democrats, who supported the army, he said to them, ‘What will you do with power when you get It?

A Riot Causbd dt rturausmioN.—A riot, originating In an extraordinary su perstition. occurred at Myross (Ireland.) In tlie west of this county, a few days since.
