from Attorney General SSEED, in reply 70
letter addressed him by gentleman oil
Athens:
NASHVILLE, Jan. Is, 1857.
Dear Sir-Your letter of the 9Th ultlmo
was duly received. The nature OF my offl-
cial engagements here, in and out OF court
have prevented an earlier reply, and now on
ly afford me leisure to answer briefly:
1. That If a merchant, or other person, car
nv on the business of buying and shipping
wheat, bacon, or other articles OF produce foI
others, for which he receives commission
he thereby becomes produce broker in the
sense Of the 4thclause of the 7th section oil
the Revenue Act of 1856, oh. IA, and IS LA
BILE to taxation as prescribed in the Sd clause
of said section.
2. That the term merchant, as used in the
Sd section Of said act, pertains to such as
bay and sell on their oicn account; and II
one licensed under that section, blend with
the business so carried on that of selling on
commission, "salt," implements Of husban
ry,""patent medicines" or other articles, he
is liable to be taxed as Commission Mer-
chant; also, upon the amount Of such sales
as prescribed IN the 9TH section of said act.
Very Respectfully,
JNO. L. T. SNEED,
ATTORNEY General

THE WEATHER AND ITS EFFECTs.-On
Saturday night and Sunday morning last, our
section was visited by one Of the severcst
snow storms that has occurred in this meek
of the woods" for many years. The weather
has been intensely cold ever since. Monday
morning at sunrise the thermometer indicat-
ed degrees below zero. The oldest inhabi-
tant, n most reliable and veracious man, says
nothing like it has occurred since the cold
Saturday of 1885. Every thing of n liquid
nature assumed solid proportions-even the
Municipalities Magnolia, villainous COM
pound Of corn juice, sirychnine, hog tail to-
bacco, and buckeyes-lost its liquid charac-
ter under the congealing operations of the
atmosphere, and it is said dealers were retail.
ing it on Monday morning by the pound
upois-instead of by the quart. Of
course. it is impossible to get out spirited,
or even respectable looking, sheet under such
circumstances, and our readers must bear
with us until the weather mode-ates.

NEW YORK LAwYERs.-The Herald savs
that the country papers in that rrgiun nrs
still talking great deal about the Huptioo.
ton trial, and they do not seem 10 know
what To make out of the defence. The fac,
is, simply, that Mr.. Huntington's LAWYERS
thought more of making fine show, AND
seeing themselves discussed at great length
in the papers, than of saving their client. Had
they rested his defnee on the rroond that the
forged paper had never been uttered, but
only pledged as collateral, there is no saving
what the result might not have been. Hunt
lng'on might possibly have been at large, or
sentence might have been suspended under
a bill Of exception. -s
But the lawyers Of New York ut the pres.
eni day prefer stump speeches to legal nrgu.
ments. They address the reporters instead
of the jury, and prefer quoting Shakespeare to
quoting Story or the Reports. Thirty years
ago there were great lawyers in New York.
but lately the race mas died ont; the present
stars Of the bar are mere dull stump sneak
ers.

MUNICIPAL ELEcTIoN AT ATLAsTA.-The

the entire American ticket. The Intelligent

not been so inclement democracy would have
been successful" 1t says great outrage

LATEST ERoMWALKER.-The advices from
San Juan are to the 22d Of December. No
tidngs had been received from Gen. Walker
for several days, he having seized all the
boats upon the river aud lake.
A letter from Granada, dated December 8,
states that two hundred Yankees still held a
church in that place, and refused to surren-
der.
The loss by the fllibustcrs since the Oath
of November is estimated at three hundred;
that of the allies Central Americana is small.
The Indians at Omeiepe had risen and Killed
fifteen of Walkers men. Gen. Walker had
made m attempt to retake Granada, but was
repulsed. His men are represented to be
destitute of provisions, and dying daily Of
dysentery.

to be E natural, the note it was designed to

NEw ORLEANS, Jan. l5-The Texas is al

The news is important. Henningsen re-
ceivcd reinforcements on the 9Th of Decem
Der, and on the 10Th, after n seige of 10 days
succeeded in driving the enemy before him
with loss Of l400. Henningsen's loss was
200. The odds were against him ten to
one.
All military stores, artillery and public
documents were removed to Rivas unipjured
Walker took possession Of Rivas without
opposition, the enemy evacuating upon hear
ing of his approach,
The Costa Ricans had taken possession
of all boats on the San Juan river, thereby
cutting Oh communication with Walker.
A special dispatch to the associated press
states that the Costa Ricans were protected
in this act by the English.
Three hundred recruits were waiting al
Punta Arenas, repairing steamer, which
would take five days, when it was deter
mined to proceed up the river.
Just as the Texas was leaving messen'
ger arrived, stating that Walker, fearing
something was wrong, had come over, ind

Carlos, which had been taken by the enemy
and was rapidly coming down the river scat

r5- We have been amused in reading @
late number Of the Democ ratio Standard, q
leading Democratic paper of New Hampshire
1t exhibits bitter hostility to President
Pierce and his friends. 1t demands that Mr.
Buchanan shall make very general sweep
of the Pierce Office holders, and, speaking Of
the report that Pierce intends being a candi.
date for the U. S. Senate, says:
1t indicates a want of gratitude on his
part towards many Democrats, of which we
could hardly believe him capable, who gener.
ally repays confidence and friendship with
hypocrisy and treachery.
Franklin Pierce is doomed to sad disap
pointment And We will go farther and pre-
dict that Franklin Pierce can never be elected
to the Senate of the United States, if the
State should again become Democratic. His
appearance again upon the political arena in
this State will be followed by commotion
he little thinks of. New Hampshire will not
come to him after the lapse of two years, as
predicted by some of his sanguine friends -
we advise him 10 retire to his farming, and
be content with the unmerited and poorly
worn honors he has already enjoyed.

az 1t appears, from the reports of the
Treasury Department, that the surplus rev
enue on the Both Of JAN, 1858, will be SIX
ty.three millions of dollars. This is upon
the suppostion that the outstanding debt of
thirty millions, cannot be brought in. The
offers for the purchase Of that debt are not
likely to be taken. Besides, it is not to be
considered that the present rate of imporia.
ton cannot be checked, for if the tariff be
reduced at this season, it cannot be made to
take effect during the present fiscal year.

The AMERICAN FEELING.-The tributes
our political adversaries often pay TO Ameri-
can principles, is gratifying, even if they re.
fuse TO vote with us election day. Thus the
New York Courier and Enquirer, noting the
legislative report upon the criminal and poor
institutions, SAYS:

out of three hundred and sixty five persons,
only seventy three are native born citizens
Then the Times, showing the new Mayor
of Brooklyn to have been turning out Ameri-
can to put in Irish policeman, by the whole
ssle, asks: ,s4..t
aIIas il been proved by experience in
Brooklyn that no man is fit for policeman
unless he was born in Ireland-and especially
that he is clearly unfit if he was born in this
country! Is it absolutely indispensable to the
preservation of law and order, that every
policeman should be called Patrick, or Mi
chael, or Mcclure, and have good touch of
the brogue with other national peculiarities
to match! Is there nobody to be trusted with

A STARTLING MovEMENT.-The New
York Herald's Washington correspondent,
under date of the Goth, says: 81 get the infor-
nation from a reliable quarter, that polite
al movement is contemplated in regard to the
public domain, which will create an excite
ment in the political world greater than the
Kansas bill. This movement consists in a
bill to be attached to the Kansas Popular
Sovereignty principle, giving to each State
on its admission into the Union the right of
eminent domain, as an essential and necessa.
ry part of sovereignty. The bill has already
received several influential co operators, and
there is no longer any doubt but that it will
lead to an animated contest. There is to
be nm enlargement given to the measure in
the shape of new legislative compromise
on the subject of slavery."-We do not be.
lieve that such measure stands the least
chance of succeeding in Congress.

VERY PRoBABLE.-The Albany Argus, a

spite of" anybody, it will be sin spite of" the
Republicans. The Boston Post, the leading
Democratic organ in Massachusetts, approx.
