The city of Boston, the metropolis of New
England civilization, tLe focus of N* w England
fanaticbm, the hot bed of its heresies, politi
cal, rn.iral, and religious, and the chief inart of
its trade and its notions, has engaged in anew
liable. She was formerly the largest dealer in
African (dares. She bad a larger number of
(drips engaged in the African (dare trade than
all other cities put together. She grew rich
upon it* profits. And it stands cn record
against her, that »be sold to the South the
greater portion of those veiy slaves, which the
is now trying to steal flow her. She was the
tiot to engage in, and the last to relinquish a
trade at which she now lifts up her hand- in
holy horror. It Si i historical. met that the
clause in the Federal Cui.Vtimrion which denies
to Cong re ; . 'die power to nri hilrit tne African
slave trad- until the yeai 180S, was inserted
for her especial benefit, that she might have
twenty years u....e ro rill her purse with the
profits of that lucrative business.
But having piously repented ol her traffic in
black human flesh, with the money realized
Bom it jingilng in 1;or pocket, she has turned
her hand to trafficking in whim human thsh
in European mercenaries for tire abolition ar
mies o! Abraham I.incrdn. She has become
the chief factor of Massachusetts to purchase
Hibstilutes in Europe for the abolition saints
of that sanctimonious and fanatical common
wealth, that they may he saved the disagreea
ble necessity of Immolating their own precious
carcasses on the bloody altar of the Union.—
And it in said the win of Boston are making a
good thing out of it. With a keen and ever
watchful eye to pro fit,, to tfce remotest Chanco
of transferring a dollar from somebody else’s
pocket to their own, they rue turning this to
good account, and driving a brisk and
ldo Ira le in human victims for Southern slaugh
ter pens, whom they buy and roll with as little
leruorso as th.-y would sheep for the shambles,
'i Ik! New York Evening Boat, commenting on
a recent tuns a lion of tins character, re!muks:
“Nobody net ™crested was wiser, while
three individuals were much richer, and four
hundred men wore credited on the quota cf
Boston
The »auie pap nr states that
“This new system of emigration first made
practical,to through] tbo wants and enterprise
of the men of Boston, appears to be success
ful.’'
Where are freedom shrieking Wendell Phil
lips, and Lloyd Garrison, au<l Abby Foster, and
the whole tribe of bloomers and fanatical round
heads, Unit they do not make the welkin ring
wi s h their outcries against this horrid traffic in
human-desk, the buying and felling of their
“brother man,’' for profit ’ lint Tire cautious
h>pccrile<i are dumb. Too men of Boston are
making money, and recruits are furnished for
the holy crusade slavery,and they have
nothing to Bay. It is cot the negro, die ‘-'emo
tional” man, the gcd of their idolatry, and,
therefore, these niiscegenntioßists arc silent.
Boston, the iegrate, enriched by Southern
trade, her princely mansions and colossal ware
houses built with the gains of Southern patron,
nge, llrst made the new system of emigration
practicable. She, the refined, the philosophic,
the literary, the .pious arid philanthropic me
tropolis of New England, has taken the lead in
this hellish enterprise of hiring the felons, the
thieves, and assassins of Europe, to plunder
and murder a people to whom she has been iu
dtbled, fiom first to last, for her 'boasted pros
perity. She was sufficiently infamous before,
for her pci fidious violations of plighted faith,
of constitutional obligations, but this last in
stance of base ingratitude and deep dyed tur
pitude, is her crowning infamy. She will be
remembered by tlie outraged South through all
time, with loathing and abhorrence.
She has forever alienated the South and the
West, with vengeful ire, rising up against her
selfishness, and her extortions threaten to
strike the finishing blow to her prosperity and
greatness by the withdrawal of her.patronage
and fraternity. She has earned for herself the
hatred and scorn- of two-thirds of the late
Union ; and woe be unto her when the people
of fire South and of the West shall unite to
strip her of iter trade and rejoice in her desola
tion.
It appears that these hired assassins whom
the men of Boston are bringing from Europe
to murder cur people arid destroy our prop
erty, to subjugate and enslave us, are chiefly
from Get many- That land of stolid brutality
lias for agnffurnished the armies by winch ty
rants have sought to crush the’ liberties of
mankind. The Germans have ever been ready
to hire their mercenary swords for gold to any
despot, to tight in any cause, however unjust
nud atrocious. They tost appear in the wars
of the sixteenth century in their new role of
militaty mercenaries. Tlioy first volunteered
as military adventurers to crush out the repub
lics of Italy. And ever since they luive figured
wherever despotism has raised its blood stained
banner, and gold and booty were to be ob
tained. The bayonets of Swiss mercenaries
sustained the tottering throne of the French
monarchy, in its last and worst days. The
first act in the bloody drama of the French
revolution, was the massacre of the Swiss
Guards by an outraged uud oppressed people.
It was against subsidized Hessians, hired by |
George the Third to do his bloody work, that
our fathers had to contend. And now we their
descendants are called upon to meet the de
scendants of those same Hessians, hired by the
ynen of Boston to subjugate us, on the same
soil on which our fathers fought the battles of
independence.
We are informed, also, by the New York
Post, that ihe principal agent of these men of
Boston in collecting these foreign ruffians for
the Federal army is a Bole—one Julian Allen.
We are told that he went abroad to assist his
countrymen in their late stmgglo for indepen
draco. A beautiful specimen of consistency—
aiding the Foies in their revolt, in their at
tempt to assert their right to self-goveruinent,
and at the same time aiding the Yankees to
cr»sh the people of the South for attempting
identically Hie same thing. No wonder that
the Poles have failed in their effort to recover
independence, if this renegade, be a specimen
of the race a vile traitor to liberty and to the
of self government. But it is a reiuark
aW fact that in this war the South hits had to
fight all those European red republicans who
>ave so fiercely claimed for their respective
nationalities the right of revolt and revolution
against the governments which have denied it
to them—the Poles, the Irish, the Italians, the
Germans. They have even crossed the ocean,
to help to crush out a people engaged in a
similar struggle with themselves. The Federal
armies have been largely composed of these
miscreants. It only prove- The insincerity of
all their professed devotion to liberty, and (bat
they are the base and ready tools ojsde&potism.
It is a pity that the gallant sol
diers of the South, gentlemen by birth and ed
ucation, are compelled to contend with such
caitiffs, the offscourings of e, she empty
jugs of Its jails aud workh ues, the scum of
its cities, rcgamufilans. as this Yankee writer de
scribe.- the.-e late recruits--ieions and iucendi
r.ric- of every grade- la addition to the entire
Yankee nation, five times more populous than
our:', we have had to fight the rabide of the
worid —a motley crew of all races, kindreds,
tribes and tongiies. The : mploymvnt of there
foreign mercenaries egain-t us will he an eter
nal stigma on the Yankee name— a burning
disgrace, forever, to that people.
LtIViCLVe <’«M :IS*:OM!R«».
Between ike publications of Secretary Ben
jamin and the commissioners themselves, tLe
public is st firkienily enlightened as- to the oe
tails of Lincoln’s famous embassy to I.ich
rcond. It turns out to have b»en one of the
richest diplomatic farces ever enacted. 1*
more forcibly illustrates the ignorant-stupid
ity and vulgar arrogance of the brutal usurper,
who now disgraces the chair of Washington,
than anything that has occurred. The com
missioners were fit representatives of the joking
clown at Washington, of a despotism character- j
iz.d above all othets by its absurdity and j
atrocity. Their ignorance and assurance were
sublimely ridiculous.
The chief character in this unique embassy
was a certain Colonel Jaques from Illinois, ins
companion Gilimore being but a second fid
dler, a sort cf Secretary of Legation, or Man
Friday. Jeques is decidedly a character, a rare
specimen of the Sucker. lie is known at the
North as the fighting parson, lie was for
merly n minister of the go.-.pel in the Methodist
denomination, one of the conceited, half edu
cated sort, gifted with considerable giibness of
tongue and -any amount of brass, who endeavor
to commend their ministry by s-ls glorification
rather than Christian humility, by a conceited
display of smartness rather than sincere devo
tion to their Master’s cause -a class of clerical
mountebanks by whom religion at ihe North
has been degraded and disgraced cf late years.
Ho was doubtless one of the three thousand
preachers who took the field against the con
stitutional rights of the South when the Kan
sas Nebraska bill was parsed, and who have
had more to do in bringing about the dissolu
tion cf the Dnion, and the present jrar with its
unparalleled atrocities,thau even the abolition
politicians themselves. Forgetting tire dig
nify and sanctity of their profession, they have
converted the pulpit into a political rostrum,
and poisoned lire min is of their hearers with
the pestilent heresies of abolition fanaticism,
instead of feeding them with the bread of life.
False prophets and ministers of Satan, “steal
ing the livery of heaven to servetbe devil in,”
Urey lrave preached a crusade of murder, arson
and robbery against their fellow instead
of the gospel of me.cy and peace.
The Bey. Jaques having helped to bring on
the war, felt that it was his mission to aid in
its prosecution, and so doffed ihe clerical robe
for the colonel's uniform—exchanged the sword
of tbs spirit for a sword of steel. Am hr inter
ot tiro Prince of Peace an-Pthe God of mercy,
be fell to- killing iris fellow mortals because
they differed with him in .pol'tics, and instiga
ting iiis brutal soldiers to perpetrate arson and
robbery, to plunder defenceless faiqiiies, and
burn down their homes over their heads ; to
insult and ravish Southern ladies, and turn
helpless infants out upon the highway to starve.
But the fie'd of Mars did not offer a sufficient
theatre for the display of the genius and talents
of the illustrious Jaques. lie must turn dipld.-
matiit. He must undertake the gigantic task
of settling the hubbub which lie had helped to
raise. He felt in his great and swelling soul
that ire alone could quell the mighty tumult f
that only let his stentorian voice be heard, lend
it would instantly subside.
lie offered himself to Lincoln as an envoy ex
traordinary to the Confederate court at Rich
mond, and v.-as accepted. He was the very
man for Lincoln, a man after his own heart, a
furious fanatic, an impracticable bigot, a con
ceited ignoramus. Fully instructed in the en
larged and liberal views of his master, he was
dispatched to Richmond, with a card to Grant
to pass him through the linos. .
. On the way he boasted to Commissioner Ould,
who very prudently kept him in close custody
until ho left Richmond, that if permitted to
speak to President Davis, he would very soon
settle ail difficulties. Arrived in the Ccnted
erate capital, ho instautiy soHciled, through
Secretary Benjamin, a personal interview with
the President, mysteriously hinting that he was
charged with an offer of peace, which could uot
fail to be accepted. On this assurance he was
admitted to an audience.
But what wag this wonderful offer, this mys
ter : ous message from grand Mogul of aboli
tionism which, as a mighty talisman, was to
put an end to strife? ft was not fling moro
nor less, than Old Abe’s famous manifesto “to
all-whom it may concern,’’ which had been
bruited about in the newspapers for days
before. With verdant simplicity or brazen
effrontery—it is -hard to say which—tho re
doubtable Jacques offered to President Davis
and his Secretary Benjamin tho a’o urd and
insulting terms ct po:.ce which Lincoln hud
proclaimed in his manifesto—a restoration of
the Fuion, absolute and craven submission to
his rule—the instant abolition of slavery in-
cluding of course negro equality—and bv way
of sugar coating the bitter pill, a general am
nesty to Southern criminals, guilty of the high
crime and misdemeanor of defending their
rights and homes!
Wo can imagine the sardonic smile with
which Benjamin, end the ill concealed contempt
with w hich President lUvis regarded the liliuci
parson, as he delivered this message of recon
ciliation the First, It was sug
gested in reply by the President that he had no
power to abolish slavery in the S’ates, that
being their own domestic affair with which he
hid nothing to do. Jaques then proposed to
leave the question to' a vote of the people of
all the Stales of the oM Union, thinking to
touch the Democratic weakness of the Presi
dent by urging the majority principle. But he
again interposed the constitutional objection of
want of power to interfere with the domest’o
affairs of the States, over which they had ex
clusive control, gently insinuating that the sage
Jaqiras was ignorant of the nature of his own
Government as well as ours. This home thrust
confounded the self-complacent Jaques, and
having no reply at. hand, he ingenuously con
fessed that he was neither a politician nor a
statesman, a fact very evident to bis auditors
—that he was totally ignorant of the sugject
which he had come to discuss ; and that the
President might invent some plan of his own
to carry outthe wishes of the pious abolitionists,
aM surmount the constitutional obstacles—that
for bis part he was totally incompetent to the
task. And so ended this diplomatic interview.
T his whole affair exhibits, ia a strong light’
the low and vulgar character of the brual ty
rant who reigns and revels at 'Washington. It
was the act of a bully, and a blackguard to
send stv h a proposal to cur government ; and
it was adding insult to iuj ary to send it by such
a crack brained and ignorant ianatie as Jaques.
If be had possessed a particle of dignity or self
respect, he would at least have selected one of
Abe educated statesmen of his party for such a
mis#on. A decent respect for the o; inion of
mankind demanded this.
llow was the once proud and dignified sta
tion of President of the United States degraded
when such .a low bred ruffian and political
mountebank as Lincoln, was elected the suc
cessor of Washington ! It is lamentable that
the affairs of a nation and the peace of a conti
nent should be entrusted to such hands. All
nations which pqssess any self- respect, which
are at all elevated above the lowest degree of
barbarism, entertain a high reg ird for the dig
nity and sucitdness of the diplomatic charac
ter, Fut Lincoln lias none. A mete buffoon,
he has neither dignity nor self-respect. lie
would dishonor the character of a savage chief,
who would scorn thus to lower himself in,his di
plomat’c intercourse with others. The civilized
world v ii! regard with astonishment and indig
nation this absurd end abortive'embassy—this
ucdignifle 1 trfl’rg eu an occasion of so much
solemnity and imporid"ce, affecting the inter
ests of both Europe and America, the destinies
of two great nations sharing more than half a
continent between them.
Thu Fire is Ambrioits, G.v —From a letter
jaublished in the llaeon Intelligencer, we gath
er the annexed facts in regard to the late
great fire in Americas. The fire broke out
about five o’ clock Tuesday evening. Two entire
squares facing six streets, oh the public front,
are destroyed, together with considerable
furnllure, stores and dregs ; consuming also a
large quantity of cotton, amounting to eight
thousand bales. The principal lasers are J.
V. Price, warehouse, $30,000 ; J. O. Bird, $40,-
000 ; Wheatley, SCO COO ; W. A. Hawkins,
$28,1)00 ; Steward, $24,000 : Juo. A. Hail,
$•->,000; Greenwald, SIO,OOO, besides Govern*
ment property, consisting o? tithe cotton—ore
hundred or more bales—and tithe wheat, wilh
quartermasters stores of other descriptions.
Besides this, about one hundred and fifty bales
of private cotton, not under eovar. total
loss amounted to about $3,300,000. The build
ings consisted mostly of business houses, ware
rooms, stole and mechanic shops,
among theta, however,’ were large hospital
buildings, capable of accommodating two hun
dred patients, which were being arranged for
two hundred more. Whether it was the work
of an incendiary it is not yet ascertained.
ISSTUL’C 5 IO’« TO STAT3 COLLECTORS OF
COAKKDKBITE TAXES.
lion. E. G CabiriesS, State Collector for
Georgia, has issued the annexed instructions to
ihe district collectors and assessors:
To the District Collectors and Assessors of
Georgia;
Congress, daring its last cession, modified
the tax laws' in many important particulars,
as will be veen by reference to Ihe “Regula
tions and Additional Instructions” of the4R>ra
jnissicnpr of T>-xes of the 22d of June, 1804,
whi-h r herewith enclose. Before „ the laws,
as modified, can be fully executed, it will be
necessary that additional forms for the assess
ment of the additional taxes levied by the late
acts shall he devised and furnished by the
Commissioner of Taxes, together with further
instructions.
It is very desirable that the assessors should
as soon as possible, proceed with the assess
ments of property, moneys and credits under
the Tax Act es February 17-th. 1801, as modi
fied.
1 have, therefore carefully prepared the* fol
lowing instructions for'assessing tire same.—
With the aid of these instructions, and* the
“Regulations and Additional Instructions” of
the Commissioner of Taxes, of the 22d of June,
1804, it is be’ieved that the assessors will have
no difficulty in correctly assessing every tax
payer rn the sheet headed “Returns and As
sessments of Confederate. Tex on Property,
Moneys and Credits, under the Tax Act of
Febiuavy 17tb, 1 SGI,’ ? which have already
been furnished them.
I will now proceed to explain in ’detail the
proper mode of filling up this, sheet.
Asa preliminary to the assessment, the as
sessor will administer to the tax payer the
!od wi )g oath: You do solemnly . w jar that
you will render true and faithful return and
statement ot all the property, articles or ob
jects for which you are liable to taxation and
of which a return is required by law to be
made at this lime, and that you will true an
swers make t > all questions ’ which shall be
put you touching jour property or eff c s or
any exemptions which may be, claimed, and
also as to any fact in reference thereto; and
that you shallsp°ak the truth, the whole truth
and nothing but the truth. Bo help you God. 4 ’
Haying qualified the tax payer, he will com
mence with.
Ist. ‘-Land or other Real property.
Under this heading he will put down the
number of acres of land owned by the tax pay
er in his County on the 17th of February,
1801, and also tho number of lots, without
specifying the number of acres in each par
ticular tract. Land owned by the tax payer
out of his county will be assessed where sit
uated. Real Estate 'a to bo value las of 1800,
except whoie it has been purchased since Jan-
uary Ist, 1802, in which case the price actual
ly paid by the tax payer ,is tq be regarded as
its value, unless the ‘land has been purchased
by a refugee driven from home by the pre
sence or proximity of the enemy and was held
or occupied by such refugee for his own use
and for his residence,” when “the land shall
be assessed according to its market value ia
1800. But it rented out by such refugee, or
resided upon or used by any other person not
a refugee, it shall be assessed at its cost to the
owner.’’ The books Os the Receivers of Tax
Returns are the best guide for ascertaining the
value of real estate in 1860, The value of
any permanent improvement or injury to the
property since 1800 should b 8 rateably added
or deducted as the cake mav be.
2d. “.- laves” are to be assessed upon the ta
s<3 of thi-ir market valve in 18 ,; 0, except where
they have been purchased since January Ist,
1802, in which case they aie to be assessed at
the price actually paid for them by the tax
payer. The aver-ge value o f slaves in Geor
gia in 1800 according to returns made to the
Comptroller General was SO7O. This average
will apply to negroes in gangs including both
sexes of.ail ages, individual negroes mustfba
assessed according to their value respectively.
The assessors will exercise their own judg
ment in the valuation of slave3*in their res
pective districts, but it is. recommended that
the average value shall correspond as'nearly as
possible with the value as above stated If a
slave possesses an additional value above the
average on account of any peculiar qualifica
tion as a mechanic, house servant, &c., he
should be assessed ataco respondingly increas
ed valuation.
Slaves arc- to.be assessed in the name of the
owner and not of the hirer. By the 11th para
graph of “Regulations and Additional Instruc
tions’’ of tho Commissioners of Taxes, ot the
22d of June, 1804, slaves are required to be
assessed in ail cases ia the counties where they
were on Hie 17th of February, 1864. In or
der, therefore, that all slaves should be asses
sed it is necessary that the assessor should’ en
quire of every tax payer not only what slaves
ho owned on the 17th of February in his coun
ty, but also what slaves belonging to other
persons were iu his possession on that day, and
if any wire owned by non-residents of tne
county, such non-resident’s name should be
entered on the “sheet,” and the value of such
slaves assessed against him.
3.1. •Horsps, Mutes, Asses and Jennets,’ Cat
tle of the' Bovine Species,’ ‘Sheep, Goats anti
Swine.’
These animals should be valued as of the
year 1860.
4th. ‘Cottou and Wool,’ ‘Tobaco,’ "Corn,’
‘Wheat,’ ‘Rye, Oats, Buckwheat, Rice, and all
other kinds of grain,’ ‘Potatoes of all kinds

ifically mentioned in the foregoing column-.’
AU agricultural products are to be valued as
of the year 1860, except cotton and tobacco
purchased since January Ist, 1802, which are
to bo assessed at the prices actually paid for
them by the tax payer. The word “cotton’
includes cotton yarns, and “tobacco” includes
manufactured tobacco and cegars. In assess
ing agricultural products the assessor should
first ascertain all agiicuUural product on band
on the 17th of Feb’y, 1864, including any that
wtre taxed July lit, ISG3. He should then
allow a fair deduction, proportioned to the size
of the tax payer’s family, tor its support for the
year 1864. This deduction is only to be allow
ed of those - articles raised by'the tax payer and
tithed in 1864. The amount to be deducted
should be uniform in all eases. The assessor
should determine what deductions should be
allowed for the support of familes of different
sizes, establishing a uniform rule without com
sultiucrthe tax payers. The word “family
is construed by the Commissioner of taxes “to
include only the white persons of a family,
house servants and family horses.” By “ fam
ily horses,” I understand to be meant horses
need exclusively for pleasure.
sth. “Flour, Meal, Sugar, Molasses, Bacon,
Lard, and ail other groceries, goods, wares or
merchandise, Spirituous Libuors, Wines, Cider.
Vinegar, &c.'’
The articles held by the tax payer on the IT :h

basis of tlieir market value in 1860, without
any deduction for family supplies, except in
the art!: ies of sugar and bacon, which were
raised by the tax payer and actually tithed in
1863. Goods, wares and merchandise held by

any deduction.

ately. The collectors will collect a tax oi o per
cent, on these subjects, in kind, which may be
commuted by the tax payer by the payment of
17 dollars in Confederate notes for one dollar
in silver coin, and IS dollars for one dollar in
gold coin, until further instructed.
10th. Value of Moneys held abroad, Bills of
Exchange on foreign countries.
To this heading on the sheet should be add

curities, payable in foreign countries.”
These subjects are to”be assessed at their face
value, or value in specie, anil a tax of five per
cent is to be collected payable in gold or silver
at the ole. t oil of the tax payer, which may be
commuted in Confederate notes at the rate of
17 for one, until otherwise instructed. This
tax cannot be paid in four per cent, bonds or
certificates.
lith. “Amountof all Solvent Credits, Bank.
Bills, and ail other papers issued as currency
exclusive of non iiiv-rest bearing Confederate
Treasury notes, ana not employed in a taxed
business.”
These subjects are to be assessed at-their face,
value, and the tax of 5 per cent, thereon is to
be paid in Confederate no'es.
“Crediia.” Untb.r fhis heading on the
“sheet,” means credits within the Confederate
States, and includes Confederate bonds.
12th. “Value oi aU articles of Personal or

Under th ; s beading will be assessed all pro

appeal'd ot the tax payer and his family, which
are to be assessed as of their value in 18ii0.
13th. There being no column on the “sheet”
for inserting the value of property exempted
by the Jaw, t'na assessors will write the word
“Exemptions’’ over the words “Value of all
shares in any bank, banking company or asso
ciation, canal, navigation, importing, exporting,
•fee.,” ( and enter in that column the aggregate
amount of the exemptions to .which, the tax pay
er is entitled, which will be ascertained as fol
lows :
If the tax payer’s assessable property, exclu
sive of household furniture., exceeds SI,OOO,
according to the basis of valuation pi-escribed
by the law, he is entitled to no exemptions in
any case.
I. If his propery is worth less than SI,OOO,

16th. “Soldiers’ Tax.” • By tiie 12ih para
graph of “Regulations and Additional Instruc
tions’ ’ of the Commissioner of Taxes, of the 22d
June, 1801, the assessors ai% required to assess
separately the “soldiers’ tax,” that is, the ad
ditional tax of one-sis u of all the taxes of 18(14,
laid by an act of the last session of Congress to
meet the increased pay of soldiers. Thera be
ing no column on the “sheet’’ for this tax, the
assessors will rule a column on the left hand
margin of the “sheet,” Heading it “Soldiers’’
Tax,” and putting in it one-fifth of the amount
found in the column on the right hand of the
“sheet” beaded “Tax.” Tho collector is re

Under this heading the tax payer will sign

ty his name must be signed by bis agent, if he
has one as such, and if there be no agent, then
by the successor.
The assessments upon the sheet headed “Re
turns and Assessments of Confederate Texas,
&c.” which I have explained above, in detail,
are to be made as of the 17th of February, 1861.
I herewith enclose to the col’ectov a “sheet”
filled up as a sample, a copy of which he will
furnish each assessor in his district who lias
been assigned to this duty. Real estate and
slaves are to be assessed in the ccunty
where they are. Property of till other kinds
shauld be assessed in the county where the
tax payer resides. If any portion of it is ia
another district, the assessor should forward
to the assessor of the district where the pro
perty is, a certified statement of the assessmsnt,
who shall examine the same, and if apprVed,
shall return it with his approval thereon.—
If disapproved he shall make such alterations
thereon as he may deem just, and return it

have made. The assessment thus corrected
should be entered on the “sheet.” Property
in another in another State cannot be assessed
in this State.
The collectors will collect at once the “Sold
iers Tax” of one-fifth in the five-‘new issue,”

due January, Ist 1854, ate not iiabie ter this
tax, nor is the additional tax or 10 per cent, on
profits made by buying.r.nd selling in 1863-
‘ lu making the assessments on the “sheet,”
the assessors will enter them perpendicularly,
if the colums are too narrow to enter them
horizontally, u-ing, using as much space as is
necessary. In order to conform to the new in
structions. all assessments rqjder the .act of
February 17th, 1883, should be made anew.
The foregoing instructions having received
the approval of the Commissioner of Taxes,
they are adopted tor the guidance of the
Collectors an i Assessors of Georgia.

eminent equally conducive to the welfare of nil
the States—Northern aud«Southenl.
Resolved, That this convention explicitly
declares, as the sense of the American people,
that after four years of failure to restore the
Union by the experiment of war, during
which, under the pretence of military necessity
or power, the constitution has b 3 en disregard
ed in every part: public liberty and private
right alike trodden down, and flic dnaterial
prosperity of the country essentially impair
ed, justice, humanity, liberty, and the public
welfare demand that immediate efforts be
made for the cessation of hostilities, with a
view to an ultimate convention of all tire
States, or other peaceable means, to the end

recent elections, is a shameful violation of the
constitution, end the repetition of such acts in
the approaching elections, to be held as rev
olutionary, and resisted with all the means in
our power under our control.
Resolved, That the shameful disregard of
the administration of its duty in respect to our

the imprisonment, trial and sentence of Ameri
can citizens in states where civil law exists in
full force; the suppression of the freedom of
speech and the press; the denial of the light of
asylum in open and avowed disregard of
State rights, the Umploymont of unusual
tost oaths; the inteferenco wibiithe right of the!
people to bear arms calculated to prevent a
restoration and perputvaticu of a government
deriving all its just power from the consent of
tho governed.
Resolved, That the sympathy of the Demo
cratic party be heartily and earnestly extended
to the soldiers of our army, who are and who
have been in the field under the flag of our
