SENs FROM LATE SOUTHERN PAPERS
Says the Memphis APPEAL of Dec. 4,


We are informed by tho Receiver that parties
are very remiss in responding TO the garnish-
ments served upon them under the late Ctnio-

until they do answer. The Receiver hes his eye
on several Of these diatory individuals, who
had better "walk up to the captain's office and
settle" Immediately, ii they wish to save their
bacon. Their day Of grace will soon expire.

TAXATION ON NEeRos.-We understand that Gov

eren States in the South and Southwest and one very
recently from prominent citizens of Arkansas and an
other from Tennessee stating that is rumored through
out the country that the citizens of South Carolina are
paying taxes at the rate of SIC head on Negroes They
also state that another rumor has been widely crcula
ted that Governor Aiken, of South Carolina large
STAKEHOLDER, had forced loan made on MIN of $4,000
The writers state that these ISLANDERS are circulated with
view to inure the cause of independence in the slave
holding States The Courier has before denied these
rumors and assure our friends everywhere and more
particularly in the South and Southwest that there is
not word of truth in either rumor To this we might
add, if necessary official denial The tax on neg ros
only 81 so per head, while the tax land and real
estate is trdng, and nothing in comparison with that
