Geo. Sanders Despatch to Mr..
Buchanan.

The following is copy of GEORGE SAM
DER's $26.85 despatch, to the President,
from Charleston, as furnished the New York
Times by Washington correspondent
CHARLESTON, April u, 1860.
Slidell and Bright are here trying to
break up the Government. The occasion
may arrive day for you to act. North
ern delegates, with exception of few from
Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Massachusetts,
Oregon and California, in concert with half
the delegates from Alabama, two Florida,
five Tennessee, half Kentucky, half North
Carolina, half Maryland, hall Missouri,
few from Georgia and Arkansas, agreed to
the following addition to the Cincinnati
Platform, which will be offered this morn
ing as an amendment to the slave. code pro.
gramme of the majority. Here was in
serted minority Platform. The amend
ment will receive one hundred and seventy
five to ninety votes. Alabama, Mississippi
and Louisiana will probably withdraw from
the Convention. Douglas will then receive
decided majority on first ballot, and on SCI
cond or third will approximate to two-thirds.
1t is believed that the Collectors of Boston,
Philadelphia and New Orleans will make
factious opposition, but the Douglas majority
will not be intimated by anything that the
minority can do. And l hope that there
will be patriotism enough in the country to
be brought to bear on the factious minority.
to prevent any departure from that excel
lent two-thirds rule by the majority. Irely
on YOUR patriotism and vOur generosity
Douglas example at Cincinnati, by which
alone you could have been nominated,
should be followed by any competitor. Send
for Douglas as soon as the telegraph an
nounces to you that he has decided major
ity OF the Convention, and offer him your
support, and all will be we'll. You cannot
afford to be the last President of the United
States. A friend that has never deceived
you, however often he may have gone in
opposition to your views and wishes.

DEAR SIR In reply to your letter of
the 9th inst, answer that l suppose it
was the intention of the law regulating the
duty of County Treasurers to make these
officers the collectors of school taxes of
every description, as in Ohio
But section eighth of the School Law
as amended was subsequently, enacted, and
reads as follows:
'sAll district taxes levied or assessed in any
one year shall be contained in one and the
same tax list, and shall be assessed by the
trustees upon all property in the district &C.
cording to the valuation thereof made for the
last assessment of county taxes. The tax list
shall contain the names of all taxable persons
in the district, description and valuation OF
personal property to be taxed, and the amount
of tax levied on the same. Said list shall be
prepared by the trustees, who shall annex their
warrant commanding the clerk to collect the
several sums therein mentioned from the per.
sons named, and to report the amounts collect.
ed on or before the day mentioned therein to
the trustees of said district.
''The district clerk shall receive the tax list
prepared as herein provided, and shall proceed
to collect the same in the same manner and
with like power and authority to enforce the
collection thereof as is or may be conferred on
the collectors of county taxes. He shall report
the moneys collected as commanded in the
warrant annexed to said lists, and shall return
his delinquent list to the county treasurer,
making oath that he had not, after the most
diligent inquiry, been able to find any goods or
chattels belonging to the person liable to pay
such taxes whereon he could levy the same.
And the county treasurer on receiving such de-
linquent list shall proceed to enforce the col
lection of the same by sale of lands or other
wise as is or may be provided by law for the
collection of delinquent taxes provided that
the clerk, before proceeding to collect such
tax, shall execute bond with one or more
sureties to be approved by the trustees, in
twice the amount of the tax assessed, cOnd
toned for the faithful performance of his duties
as collector. and the proper payment of mo
neys collected, and that upon a vote of the dis.
trict five per cent. may be added to the
amounts assessed and retained by the clerk as
compensation for his services in collecting the
same"
By the provisions of this amendment, it
is made the duty of the district clerks to
collect all taxes levied or assessed by the
trustees, and return the delinquent lists to
the county treasurer.
To obviate the answering of letters from
different parts of the State on this point, l
will send copy of your note and my reply
to the papers of this city, with the request
that other papers in the State copy.
Yours Respectfully,

The Monster Gun.

The monster gun modelled by Captain L.
j. RoDMAN, U. S. A. and called "The
Floyd" in compliment of the Secretary of
War, has arrived at Washington, en- route
for Fort Monroe, where it is to be subject
ed to the inspection and test of the Ordnance
Board. The following interesting descrip-
ton of this remarkable piece of ordnance is
taken from paper at Pittsburg, Pa, where
the gun was cast
"The Floyd =" was cast at Knapp, Rudd
& Co.'S foundery, in this city, and is
magnificent specimen of Pittsburg BUSH
ness enterprise and mechanical skill. The
total extreme length of the gun is fifteen
feet ten inches; its length of bore is thlr>
teen feet nine inches the exact weight of
the finished gun is 40 ,O99 pounds. 1t is to
to carry she'll of three hundred and
fifty pounds, and a solid shot of four hun>
dred and twenty-five pounds weight. The
calibre of the gun is fifteen inches in dame
ter. Ii the gun stands the tests required,
which those best acquainted with metals
pronounce to be beyond doubt, it will
supply want which has been felt by the
Engineer Department for years-a class of
ordnance of such size as will defend cities,
harbors, and extensive sea coasts from the
near approach of the ships of the enemy.
As this monster gun will carry a missile
four or five miles with reasonable accuracy,
vessels would be cautious how they ap-
preached it.
The boring of the gun has been so ex-
actly done that accurate measurement
shows that it does not vary the one thous-
andth part of an inch in the entire length.
