We have boou luiuished (rui>i a iue ii- venue j
office of this city with the following decision of j
the Commissioner of Internal Revenue. It win |
be itad by farmois *ith interest. In explaining
wfiy they are to ba taxed tcv grain sold in
1864, which was raked iu former years, and
which has already paid an income tax. Under |
the old law they were require 1 to pay on ail ■
grain raVed in a particular year, no matter
whether it. bo sold or not This plan wss
louud to be wry ol j. cliona'de and the
Ctxngrcsri made tbeebauern which taxed all grain
soli) in a particular. y> ur, and not including
what was on h ind on the 21st of Deeemtrer.—
The Revenue officers are now at work receiving
1 lie income returns for la-t year :
Tueasuby Dne'r of i.\r Revenue, i
Washington. March 13, 1865. j
Sir - Your T-tler o! March Bih, iu regard to
including in Farmers'returns ot produce sold
in 1864, that portion of such produce which
was raised in 1862 and taxed as income for
that year, is received.
I reply that the Act of June 30. 1864, le
quircs the whole amount ol products sold with
iu they p ar, tube returned as iueorne sci this
year. The fact that any part ot such produce
was raised and taxed as iucoine for that year,
aoes not exempt such produce from tax iti m
as income tor ihe year wheu sold. It is-true
that in cases similar to that mentioned iu your
Utter, where a particular produce Is consider
ed, two income taxes will be obtained from
the same income but this is au apparent ra
ther than a real injustice. Fur while eeitaiu
products, Rot raised in 1861, are returned as
income fur that yetir, other products which
were raised iu that year will he omitted. And
taking into account all the years iu which in
come lias beeu or will bo taxed bygthese two
methods, the amount of produce cold in 1863.
and which having beenhaispd in previous years,
was not taxed, and the amount of produce
in thi last year ot lax and unsold, and
/therefore not taxed, will be great*r than the
amount produced subject to two iucoine taxes.
the aggi> & ate crop to be on an average
the same year !‘V year, it Is evidently just that
licit the produce U.wJeach year slmuid equal
in amount th'*tot exfcli other year. And it, in
I{j64, ouly eu,ih proiffi’V are taxed iu were
raised and sold iu that year, it is pi.ur) Inal the.
tax lor that year will be assess* l upon Xiniy a
part of a years produce, inasmuch as the whole
of any prop i . seldom sold within the year
when ra'sed.
Suppose, for ex-amply, Urn average income
of A, troxn life product of his farm to be §2,-
000, and that bn uniformly sells, a certain pro
portion of his crop, as one fourth, or nu.e hall
the same year, and the re© under the following
year. Then if tlirt rule requiring blfrj to make
ot the cut in crop had continued in
force, A would have sold three fourths of a
crop in 1862, which, having becu raised in
186!, would escape taxation, but inasmuch
as the yearly product is tho same, the income
tax of A is uniform, and no injustice appears
against either the las payer or the revenue.
And if the piesentTi u!<*, in l ,;irii)g the pro
duce sold to ba returned as in ome, had pre
vailed from the first,. although A would have
paid luip pp 3-4 of the crop of 1861, yet as a
like proportion of tj)e last crop wiil escape
taxation, it appears again iLaf neither th 1 tax
payer nor the re /cuius are defmuded. Vet it
is plain Unit under either rule, as iu force for
the whole time, or under the change of one
rule for the utbetv there will b", and would
have been, .cases of hai'dsbqb arising, from the
fact that farmers do not mplormly sort or jp.-cp
on hand a fixed proportion of each year's pro
duce.
Now, under the leva rules in force, before or
idler June 30th, 1861, A will have paid for
18.62 an income tax on one entire crop -that
raised in 1862. Iu 1863 his income tax was
also on the < ntiro crop of the y ear. In 186.1
he will also pay tax on the amount of an entire
crop, one-founh of which will have been raised
in 1864, and the remainder in 1863, but sold in
1864. The income tax for 1865 will also be
assessed upon the value of one entire cop; so
that in no year will he be taxed for ail amount'
greater than the income of tho year. Yet it
will be true that three fourths of the crop
raised iu 1863 whi have paid two income
taxes. *
And the second tax is due from U;e fact that
either a like proportion of the crop sold in
1862 escaped'taxation because raised in 1861,
or the >sune proportion of the crop of the last
year of tax will escape, because unsold, ac
cording as we conside/ ihe former rule or tho
latter ti) have prevailed during tho whole
period.
Therefore in the case mentioned in your id
ler, the produce returned iu 1863, ut a valua
tion of 5i.150. aud sold in 1864 for $2 000,
must also be returned as income for 1864, at
$2,000. •

Ban:M r dates to May 2(», give tire aunexiy.l
particulars in regard to the matter :
Examination was made into the circum-
attending Uro conspiracy to seize the
Peruvian steamer Colon, at this point, reveals
lin se fiiCs, that parties on board the boat, nnm
boring some tour hundred, enlisted ostensibly
to proceed to Arizmia, but really to Bind on
the Mexican coast in the Gulf of Call'omia. A
mm named Williams was the General com
manding the expedition, and another named
llungeilord, of the army of the Potomac, was
iis Colon-1. Williams and others conceived a
rcbeme to seize the Colon on the sea to privu
tocr against. French commerce.
Koine of the leading parties in tho conspira
cv were lonnerly known as rebel sympathisers.
Tiro Mexican General Vega, agent of the Juat
iz govemmt-cf, mado large adva rces of the
money to Williams, as leader of the emigra
tion scheme, and ascertaining licit the money
was likely Wbe misapplied, gay-e infopmafioh
agninet Williamr. The men a.-elected by Wil
liams, for i lie i«itci prise, w.-ro sworn, in private
''n the blade of Ids sword, to ctrry U through.
The parties arrested are in the City Prison,

The letter of tho rebel Secretary Mallory shows

that they weic engaged in a lawful warfare, and
should be considered as Tii isoners of war.
SINOUr.AR Action cf tub Missis.uppi Bivbr.—
Tire ioiloivitig is an account of the aiuuular
ca.asiropba which occurred at Algiers" La ,
May *25. It was at night, about nice o'clock
on Tuesday, brat the whole river bank, on
which were the works of the Government dock
viud and that of Messrs, y-ail & Con tier, sank
suddenly into tfia iiver,,carrying with it’all the
mateiial on the surface. A schooner on the
ways fell at tbe sinking of the land into the
.Mississippi, and was filled with water. The
oakum workhouses-sunk into ruins—the whole
understrata upon which they were built giving
way-water bubbling up in itr stead. Toe
whole river bank, for a space of about 400
yards, caved in. Materials used bv the work
men at tire yard, tools, amt other implements,
•sank with tbe land, and were lost. 4 portion
of the Orleans Docks in this vicinity, which
■three or more years ago 84nk, with all the
works upon them, in a manner similar to the
above, rose to toe surface as tbe above portion
of .the bank fcUr. Bo i*. h» again
