10. A. Collin, lv-q., of the Tax bureau,
making inquiry in reference to the tax on
cotton yarns, spun prior to July kith, and
also 011 manufactured goods made from
cotton yarns. The following is the reply :

Yarn on which the tax bad not accrued
prior to July 1:1, 1883. is exempt from tax,
though manufactured prior to that date.
zJCndor the general provisions of Section

lowed to deduct from tho v alue of Cloths
which they make, the cost of taxed Yarn
used in its production. Satisfactory evi
dence, however, must lie presented to the

A NATIONAL PARTY ERECTED.
The interesting particulars of the last
day ' s proceedings of the great Philadelphia
Convention will hcfoujpdin another column
of this paper. Its mighty work was; ac
compli In and in three days, and in that brief
time it di.yc the foundation, laid the corner
stone and reared the superstructure of a
new party, which is destined to annihilate
that revolutionary organization which men
aces the nation with anarchy and utter
ruin. * __ * * *
After a long civil war, which was waged
with unusual ferocity and vindictiveness,
we could not have oxpi Ted greater una
nimity ofV-ntinient than that which mark-
I the late C'civei. don. We must mbmit
to some diffi rence of opinion with our
friends, or become the . port of the revelu-,
tionist andthe c of the freedmen. *
If the principles of the conservative
party are acceptable to tho Northern peo
ple, we shall very soon be restored to all
of our political rights. t
In spite, therefore, of the character of
some of the resolutions, the people ol the
South have every reason to congratulate
themselves upon the complete success of
the first National Convention which has
been held for six years. The position of
our delegates was a most embarrassing one;
hut the policy ®f reticence and caution was
so obvious that we rejoice they did nothing
which was calculated to produce dissen
sion.-—liiclnnoiiil Timr.i, Aug. 18.
EXCEEDS THE BEST EXPECTATIONS OF THE
SOUTH.
The success of the Philadelphia Con
vention has exceeded the most extravagant
expectations of those whoadvocated South
ern representation therein. Casting aside
every feeling of selfishness, and desirous
only of setting on foot a party which shall
drive from the Capital at Washington the
speculators, petty politicians, miserable
fanatics and cunning demagogues who
have well nigh ruined the country, the
members of the Convention, of every party,
have sacrificed some of their prejudices for
the sake of promoting tho general welfare.
First —Messrs. Wood and Vallandigham
declined to go in the Convention because
they were told that their presence in it
would be used as a means of destroying the
influence of the body. * * * *
Secondly —The war democrats and the
republicans, actuated by the same desire
for harmony, consented to make no objec
tion to the admission of any Southern dele
gate, however objectionable to them his re
cord . however conspicuous a part ho acted
in the late war, oi however bitter lie may
.vo been during the war in Kis denuncia
tion of Northern men and measures. * *
Thirdly —The greatest sacrifice was
made by the Southern representatives in
voting for, or even agreeing to, the adop
tion of the resolutions passed by the .Con
vention. We have as yet only a telegraphic
synopsis of the resolutions, yet we nave
enough of their contents to enable us to
know that it must have been a power
ful motive that could have induced
Southern men of true Sbuthorn feelings
and prejudices to acquiesce in their adop
tion ; or, rather, to speak more correctly,
in the adoption of some of them. — llich

Obtaining Information from 111 chin end ;
During the War.
The Richmond correspondent of the New j
York Times imparts the followinginfoi-ma- |
tion relative to tho manner in which im- j
portant intelligence was conveyed from |
Richmond to the Federal lines during the j
war. The Richmond It hig admits that ;
the testimony ol Gen. Lee did leak out and j
did get to Washington, but whether in the
manner indicated by the Times’ corees
pondent, is not certain. The version of the
correspondent of the Times is as follows:
“The country will remember that during
the winter our Government obtained assu
rance of the hopelessness of the Confede
rate cause, by i oming into possession of
the testimony of General Lee 1 eforea com
mittee of the Confederate Congress, which
was never reported to the House, except
in secret session, if at all. A full history
of the manner in which tho Government
obtained that information would be more
interesting than any romance, but it is
too soon yet to do more than outline it.
The evidence of General Lee was taken
late in the winter by this committee,
anil long before the committee had
determined what course they should pur-
sue—almost before the ink was dry upon
their notes —the entire statement of the
Rebel General, word for word, was in the
possession of Mr. Lincoln at \\ usliington.
in the room where the committee met was
a closet, and from that- closet, immediately
after their adjournment, came the price- j
less information. Outside the house it at
once changed hands, and a second party j
walked leisurely through the streets ot j
Richmond with'it, until upon the environs j
ho encountered one ot tne common country |
carts of this section proceeding with the
half of a newlv killed beef toward the rebel j
lines in Butler's front. No communion- j
tion that the most lynx-eyed could perceive
passed between the man and the cart, but
the former gradually changed Ins direction .
and was soon walking back in the direction :
whence he had come. Lhe cart went on,
reached and passed through the Rebel j
camps without molestation and reached
the pickets, where it halted as a matter ot j
course. The beef was destined tor the
house of a planter just beyond the Rebel |
lines and in plain sight ot their outposts,
and about equal distance between them i
and our own outposts. 1 hose explanations
made and a careless search ot the cart made j
by the Rebel sentry, that is a look into it,
tne cart proceeded on its way. Just as it
neared the house a small party ot our cav
alry made a dash at it. and to the utter
surprise of the Rebel pickets, who saw the
whole affair, our men only hovered a mo
ment around the curt, then galloped back
with one more man than they came with,
leaving cart and beef, and driver and mule
behind him. They did not know it then,
but under the beef was a man, and the
man had a package, and the package con
tained the statements of Gen. lice before
the Committee ui Congress a tew hours
before.
In outline, this was how the thing was
done. It may seem strange, but Lincoln
and Grant knew long before many of the
officials of the insurgent .government the
sworn statement of their commander as to
the hopelessness of further resistance.
Knowing that the Government and Grant
had this information explains many things
in connection with the arrival within our
lines of Hunter. Stephens and Campbell,
at the time of the Hampton Roads con
ference. which at the time were inexplica
ble. The feat of obtaining this informa
tion is unrivaled in the annals ot war, and
gradually, as the facts come to light, it
will be found that Grant had every day
such particular information from the Rebel
capital that he knew what Jeff. Davis was
talking about each day in the most private
of his conversations with his Cabinet and
members of his Congress. E- C •

j Sun.
A traveling correspondent of the New
Orleans Crescent, who has been over the
most fertile portions of Mississippi and
Louisiana, writes that paper that there are
but very few plantations which can. by any
chance, make more than one fourth the j
usual yield, and many places, under the ;
most favorable circumstances, cannot reach .
that estimate.
Chops in Alabama. —The Columbus
Sun publishes a jitter from Green county,
Ala., which says:
Instead of finding good crops of com
and cotton in a land which made a thou- 1
sand pounds and upwards per acre m days,
: of yore. I have seen but few * places that
will average more than a bale to six acres. ;
Fields in the vicinity of Montgomery, j
- fine cotton, are now ul
: mo-: wo-thle-s and will not this year aver- j
: age a bale of cotton to ten acres. The j
, country on the Alabama river, between j
Montgomery and Felma. I passed.in the ;
night and did not see, but parties, who I
professed to know tho condition of the
country, told me that the prospect was not |
better than it was above Montgomery.
* * * The crops between Selma and.
; Demopolis are very poor and I did not no- J
ticea good field of .cotton on the road. Be- j
' tween Demopolis and Meridian they are ;
ruining for the want of rain. Indeed the
crops are poor all over this country, and I
have not seen a single intelligent planter
who estimated the present crop over a j
fourth of that of 1 SGI- Ho far as the corn j
is concerned, that may be pronounced a I
total failure. Not one planter in fifty, so I
far aW have heard, will make corn enough [
to last till next March.
Crops in Southwest Georgia.— We
have recently visited several counties in
Southwest Georgia, and are prepared to
confirm the reports of bad crops, as a gem.
oral thing, in that section of the State.
The cotton crop, praticpiarly, looks badly
throughout the entire cotton region ; and
in many places is shedding badly. We saw
large fields of cotton cultivated by a com
pany of Tennesseeans that are really hard
ly worth picking.
The corn crop in some localities is tolera
bly good; but generally is bad.
Crops. —The Coahomian, of.Mississippi,
reports cotton suffering from too heavy rains.
On the hills it is too small to gather. The
Copichan reports the army worm in Clai
borne county on the Mississippi, and in
Lawrence county on Pearl river.
In our immediate section, the drought
still continues, and many of the fields of
corn are hopelessly ruined. Early corn
that was well cultivated will turn out a half
yield perhaps—the late planting is not
worth cutting in the stalk. The planting
of most of the . negroes, who rented land
and “went it on their own hook,” is a per- j
feet failure. The}' gave the crops only one
or two imperfect plowings, and even before
the drought came on tho weeds and grass
had choked out the sickly corn. Some of
the best tracts of land in the country are a
perfect waste, sheerly from neglect of culti- I
vation. Great destitution must ensue, and
we do not know how many of the negroes
will get bread for their families during the
coming winter and spring. Many white
persons will be hard run to make a living.
—Huntsville Independent.
The Tallapoosa Enquirer has the fol
lowing on the subject of the crops:
“Wc have diligently inquired of tire
planters of our county in regard to the
corn and cotton crops, and we tire satisfied
that all the rain that can fall cannot make
over half a crop of corn ; and of the cotton,
there cannot be a fourth of the usual pro
duct,”
The Commmercial says the boll-worm
fly, which invaded Perry county, was de
stroyed by the excessive heat, but adds:
Later intelligence, including reports from
the south and southeastern portion of the
county, leaves no doubt on our mind that
the cotton crop of Perry will fall 35 per
cent, short of the promise of last month.
The boll-worm and caterpillar have almost
ruined some of the finest plantations in the
prairie, and a well-grounded apprehension
exists that not a farm in the county will
escape their ravages. They are destroying
everything in Greene, Sumter, Dallas and
Marengo, and indeed all the counties from
which we have any intelligence.
The Cotton Crop of West Florida.
: —We regret to learn from the Gainesville
| °
; New Era that the crop prospects in that
| section arc by no means promising. It
says:
The late drought, followed by heavy and
almost daily rains, have injured to a vast
extent the prospects of the cotton crop in
this section. In many fields we noticed
the ground is almost covered with the
dropping fruit, and in some very dry
places bolls almost mature and nearly ready
to open were lying thick on the beds.
Several large planters, to whom we have
spoken on the subject, estimate that more
than* one-half of what is known as the
“middle crop” will be lost. This will
prove a serious loss to our planters, and
will reduce the already short crop of long
staple from two to five hundred bales in
; this and adjoining counties.

The following proclamation has been de

Whereas, A war is existing in the Re
public of Mexico, aggravated by foreign
military intervention:
And whereas, The United States, in ac
cordance with their settled habits and pol
icy, arc a neutral power in regard to the
war which thus afflicts the Republic of
Mexico;
And whersas, It has become known that
one of the belligerents in the said war,
namely, the Prince Maximilian, who as
serts himself to be Emperor in Mexico, has j
issued a decree in regard to the port _of j
Matamoras and other Mexican ports which j
are in the occupation and possession of an
other of the said belligerents, namely, the
United States of Mexico, which decree is
:in the following words: “Tlie port of Mat- j
arnoras and all those of the northern fron- j
! tier which have withdrawn from their
| obedience to the Government, are closed
i to foreign and coasting traffic during such
time as the empire >4' the law shall not bo

proceeding from said ports on arriving at
any other, where the exercise of the cm

and on satisfactory proof of contravention
: shall be irremissibly confiscated. Our
minister of the Treasury is charged with
the punctual execution of this decree.
Given at Mexico, this 9th day of July,

And whereas. The decree thus recited,
by declaring a belligerent blockade, unsup

is in violation of the neutral rights of the
United States, as defined by the law of na

Now. therefore, I. Andrew Johnson,

shall bo made to enforce the same against

Washington. August 20.-The Commit

Baltimore, waited on the President to-day.
Mr. Hinehliffe. the spokesman, disclaimed
connection with any party in a political
sense, or that the movement was for politi
cal power. lie urged that the eight hours
per day labor movement should be legal
ized, that the public lauds should be dis

instead of capitalist-. He asked the Presi

urc-sfor the working men. In reply the Presi

discrimination and degrading influence. lie
desired to see labor elevated, and such al
ways had been his position. His whole
history showed that he was against a mo
nopoly of the public lands. He was for
shortening the hours of labor to the least
number consistent with the interest of all,
and the laboring men could rely upon his
influence when it could be given in their
behalf. They had his sympathy and best
feelings in their cause. He hoped they
would accomplish their objects.
The Washington Republican denounces
Stanton, and charges on him a partial re
sponsibility of the New Orleans riot. It
says that lie withheld from the President
Baird's dispatch of July 28th, prior to the
riot, asking for immediate instructions how
to act, and notices the fact that Stanton
did not even answer the dispatch. The
President never saw this dispatch until
Tuesday last.

REVIEW OF THE AUGUSTA MARRLT,
FOR THE WEEK ENDING AUGUST 25TH, ISO).
[lt should be borne in mind that our
quotations represent wholesttleprices. Smalt
bills, to Planters and others, are filled at a
shade higher rates.}
REMARKS.—The past week has been
one of the dullest of the season. In the
absence of any general demand for goods
a number of leading articles have been
gradually declining, and it is the general
opinion that in breadstufls and provisions
there will be a still farther falling off. The
Commissioner of Agriculture, whose esti
mates are based on statistics furnished by
correspondents from all parts of the coun
try, estimates the wheat crop at BMenths
in quantity, and the quality is so good as
to make it equal to the crop of last year.
An Ohio writer estimates that the crop of
1800 will be 185,134,000 bushels, against
173,104,021 bushels in 1-00. At the average
rate of increase from 1840 to 1860, which was
opercenta year, atoll crop would be 225,134,-
000 bushels for IS6G. The corn crop in the
West is unusually tine, and it is estimated
that it will reach 1,000,000,000 bushels,
against 538,792,740 bushels in 1880. The oat
crop is estimated at 200,000,000 bushels,
against 172,339,722 bushels in 1800. Rye,
barley, and other crops give promise of
more than the average yield. With peace
in Europe, and a fair harvest, which re
ports indicate, it is believed that the export
demand will he limited, and, notwithstand
ing the failure of the crops in the Gulf
States, we shall see no advance, and may
look for some decline in breadstuff's during
the year to come.
Repi rts of the crops in this section are of
tho most depressing character. Corn is
almost a failure. Cotton, which has im
proved magically during the last few
weeks, lias been injured by the late cool
nights, which are regarded as presaging an
early frost. Tlio reports from Alabama
and Mississippi are unfavorable. The army
worm has made its appearance in many
places, and it does not seem possible, from
all the advices at hand, that one-third of a
crop can be realized anywhere east of the
Mississippi. In Texas alone the crop pro
mises to be an average one.
FINANCIAL.—There is great scarcity
of money, and loans cannot be effected for
less than 14 cent, a month. Gold has
been rather irregular during the week.
The still further reduction of interest by
the Bank of England to 7 7ft cent, has im
parted increased confidence in financial
circles, and caused a decline in golj in New
York, whero the quotations at the close on
yesterday were 148. Our Brokers are buy
ing at 14G@147, and selling at 14$. Silver
nominal.

COTTON.—We loft our market quiet at
the close of our last report, with the follow
ing quotations:
Low Middling 28a...
Strict Middling 29a...
Good Middling 30a...
As the week progressed, those rates wore
not maintained, and on Wednesday the
market came to a stand, continuing so
through Thursday, when good middling
cotton would not have brought over 28 cts.
On Friday there was a bettor feeling, and
we heard of sales at 29 cents for good mid
dling. There was no general demand, and
at the close on Friday the market was
too irregular and dull to justify quotations.
Holders are struggling hard against a
further decline, but it is feared that under
Uio scarcity of money buyers will have
tho advantage. An early frost would pro
bably turn the scale in favor of holders.
DRY GOODS. —Our merchants are pre
paring for the fall trade, and prices in New
York are much below those of last season.
The importations of dry goods have been
greatly in excess of former years, especial
ly in cotton fabrics. In this connection the
following table from the Journal of Com
merce, will be interesting:

demand is chiefly confined to our millers
who are pretty well supplied. We quote

The Cotton Tax-official Circular.
The Commissioner of Internal Revenue
has just issued a circular containing im
portam regulations concerning the weigh
ing and marking of cotton, th./ assessment
and collection of tax and the removal of
cotton under bond. It recites the section
of the act passed July 13. in accordance
with whim the Commissioner says the
places for weighing will be designated bv
him from time to time. The fees for weigh
ing and marking will lie fixed by u, 2 Com
missioner of Internal Revenue, ‘and must
in all cases, lie paid by the producer own
er, or holder of the cotton for whom the
work is done.
In order to prevent confusion in the as
sessment and collection of the tax on cot
ton after the same has been weighed and
marked, each Assessor is n
an account with each person for whom cot
ton has been weighed, similar to the ac
count now kept with manufacturers of the
goods produced by them monthly This
account will be debited witli tlie quantity
of cotton weighed and marked foreaeh' pro
ducer or owner, and lie credited with the
quantity transported beyond the limits of
the district in bond under permit "ranted
by the Assess. >r, or removed upon payment
of the tax, as also with the quantity if
any, sold and delivered to any manufac
turer or numufitetming company for con
sumption in the district.
Tite Commissioner prescribes the rub-s
under which the removal of cotton from
one district to another may be made
Where parties are desirous of paying tne
tax on their cotton before the' removal
front the district where the same is pro
duced, they wiU be required to make a re
turn to tlie Assessor or an Assistant Asses
sors of the district.
Upon receipt of the return, the Assessor
or Assistant Assessor to whom it is deliver
ed will immediately proceed to a.-—— the
tax upon the cotton mentioned therein
and will at once certify the amount thereof
to the Collector and make the required en
try in his monthly list.
The provisions for collecting the tax are
as follows :
Upon receipt of the Assessor's certificate
the Collector will at once collect the tax’
and will thereupon issue his permit for the
removal of cotton; which permit must
state the amount and payment of the
tax, the time and place of payment, and the
marks, numbers, and gross weight of the
bales or packages, so that the same mav at
ail times be fully identified. The blank
permit will be furnished from the otiico of
internal revenue for this purpose. When
ever the tax is paid, the usual metalie tag
or mark is to be fastened on the bale. The
Commissioner directs that returns be made
at stated periods by the cotton manufac
turers. Finally he warns all persons
against the transportation of cotton; un
less the mark itu k-ating that the revenue
tax has been pan. is attached to each bale.
VaU able C.tton Statistics.
We take from Messrs. Cornwall & Sere
na’s New York Circular the following
valuable cotton statistics, showing. the
monthly receipts at all the ports, of each
crop of cotton, for the six years immedi
ately preceding the war; also, the per cent
age to each season's crop, of each month's
receipts. This table will be of interest, as
showing what per centage of the coming
crop may be expected to come on the mar
ket during each month, and also, as a par
tial guide, as each month's receipts become
known, to estimate tiro probable amount
of the crop:

The Cotton Supply.
The following observations on the pros
pects of the cotton market are from the
August circular of Samuel Smith, Liver
pool:
The prospects of the market ilo not at
present invite a lengthened discussion, no
important alteration in the facts of the ease
lias occurred since my last issue, saving
that peace has been re-established on the
Continent. This circumstance, however,
will exert an important influence upon the
future of East India cotton, and prevent
that depression and glut of supply which
once seemed imminent. At the same time
there is room for believing that the major
part of the effect lias already been pro
duced—a very considerable 'advance has
taken place in Indian cotton, say 21 to 3d
tja ib on the average from the lowest point
of the market in May, or about 30 r p cent.;
and with a very large supply still afloat, it
is difficult to sec ho vv a larger advance
could ho supported. The arrivals of Indian
cotton in Great Britain for the next three
months jnu.st be at the rate of 50,000 bales
tp week, ana tiie largest possible demand
can scarcely be expected to absorb all
this. Doubtless the amount of cotton
now afloat from the East respesents the
bulk of what we get from that quarter for
six months to come, for we know by tele
graph that scarcely any cotton is now ship
ping for England, nor is it likely that ex
ports will be resumed freely for several
months, still these considerations cannot
be expected to weigh much till later in the
year, and only then if the prospects of the
American crop are poor. 11 is evident that
we will have an ample supply of Indian
cotton to iast till next January or February,
and by that period we will be receiving
freely whatever America has to spare from
the next crop.
More moderate views are also entertain
ed now of the future of Amerctm cotton.
The opinion was long clung to tiiat great
scarcity would be felt this autumn, at least
before next crop arrived, but it is seen now
that the old stock will last longer than was
expected. The demand has turned large
ly upon Surats, and there is no reason to
believe that any excessive scarcity of
American cotton will be feit this year. The
long staples occupy the strongest position.
Very little Brazil and Egyptian cotton can
reach us before November, and meanwhile
the trade Will be greatly pinched for sup
ply ; the present price of Egyptian cotton
is 5d "jf>, ft> higher tnan it was at tins time
last year, while American cotton is 5d tp
tb cheaper, showing a difference in their
relative position of lOd tb—an anomaly
perhaps never witnessed before. This
state of things must last till the new crop
arrives, and no doubt one effect will be to
benefit strong stapled American cotton;
but whether it will be sufficient to draw up
the whole mass of American cotton ma
terially in price is doubtful,
The keystone to the future position of
the market is unquestionably the next
American crop; all the influence already
reported are unimportant compared to that.
It appears probable that by the time it
■ reaches Europe in quantity, the stocks in
the entrepots will be moderate, and the
quantity afloat from other quarters small.
Therefore, if the prospects of supply from
America turn out to be poor, the markets
of Europe will he ripe for an advance; but
should the prospect be good, or even
moderately good, there will remain suf
ficient ballast of old stock in Europe to
keep down any tendency to advance,
The accounts we are now receiving from
America arO more favorable than they were
a month ago; the \yeather has been good
for the growing crop for some weeks past in
the South, and the injury sustained at the
start lias in some measure been repaired;
still I understand that the appearance of
the plant is poor, the season backward, and
I the prospects of a good yield not promis
ing. Estimates of the prop are at present
mere guess work, but as far as I can col
lect the favorite opinion among reliable
authorities is two millions of bales, though
this is usually accompanied by the con
dition that the picking season must bo fine.
Really reliable crop estimates can seldom
be formed before the month of November,
j and in a season like the present, an im
1 mouse deal depends upon the advent of
I “killing frost’'— in other words, the terrni
! nation of picking.

WRIGHT’S
PATENT IMPROVED
Iron Screw!
FOR
PACKING COTTON.
r |pIIF ATTENTION OF COTTON
1 PLANTERS is invited to th? iali.'is of tills invuhtion,
which, in SIMPLICITY, ECC.NaM Y, I O' R A Pi LITY find
POWER, suri'B-sses nny machine for Baling Cotton ever
before presented to the country. Its great excellence in th jse
respects makes it
THE BEST MACHINE
FOR PACKING COTTON
IN THE WORLD !
1. ITS SIMPLICITY.—It is anew ar.'i improved applica
tion of the Screw Power; just its simple in its construction a
the old fa. hioned wooden screw, as e.i.vily managed, and no
more liaUe to get out of order. No rope j or pul lies as u.v.d
in the cotton presses.
2. ITS ECONOMY.—Tt. has been demonstrated by actua
experiment to be cheaper than the wooden screw. The tim
bers used in its construction are much smaller and fewer than
those employed in the old se. w ; the levers being only 10 feet
long, and the height of the whole frame above the bed being
only 10 feet. All these timbers can be procured on the plan
tation, no matter how exhausted the forest. Any ordinary
wood workman can build .lie frame, and half a dozen hands
will put it uii in a few hours.
and. ITS DURABILITY.—The Screw and Nut are of iron,
and will last for years without any anprcci-ble wear. The
whole machine occupies so little epace that it can be com
pletely covered at very smalJ v-^..
I. ITS POWDER. - With a lever only sixteen feet long, one
mule is sutllvicnt for packing the heaviest bales. Planters

.a the opinion tiiat it is
USBIVAiLEB AS A COTTOX SCREW.
The following testimonials from some of the best and most
reputable planters in the country show the estimate in which
this screw stands with those who have tried it:
....have used and seen in operation far the last live years,
\y light's improved Cotton Iron Screw, and feel no Ju Hltation
I n pronouncing it the very best Cotton Sc; e\v we have ever
known. So highly do we esteem it, that, if p v.ti ea» le to ob
tain one of them, we would have no other. IPs easily built,
‘■niiple m its construction, not liable to go.t on. of order, packs
well, with great power and with great facility.
