His Excellency President Of the United States

FOREIGN HOLDERS OF AMERICAN SECURE
TIES A question having been raised,
whether by any possibility, the Govern~
ment might think it proper to tax the in
come of foreigners holding American Secu-
rites, by reserving the tax out of the
interest or otherwise, the question was SUBJ
mitted to the Secretary of the Treasury
by distinguished New York house, and
set at rest by the reply. We herewith give
the correspondence, which will be interest
ing to foreign holders and their agents here:
New YORK, September 27, 1861.
SIR: We beg the favor of your informing
US whether any United States Income or other
tax will be charged on coupons or interest to
become due on American Securities Govern
ment or otherwiser owned by Europeans resi-
dents abroad.
We PROFOUND this query that we may be en-
abled to satisfy various foreign correspondents
who now hold or may purchase United States
Bonds, &C., and have written to US inquiring as
to this point. Your answer, we believe will
be in the negative, judging from the law re-
Gently passed, and if SOFT being authoritative
---its publication would Immediately remove all
fear of such taxation from the minds of Euro
pean capitalists.
We have the honor to be, sir, your most
obedient servant,
[Signed] BARCLAY & LIVINGSTON.
Hon. SALMON P. CHASE, Secretary of the
Treasury.

Garibaldi not Coming.

The story telegraghed from Wash
ington, that Garibaldi had offered his
services to our Government and that
they had been accepted, and the rank
of Major General had been conferred
upon him-subsequently amended by
the addition that he would bring TWEEN
ty thousand men with him-seems to
be all CANNON, like so many other re.
ports to the sensation papers. The
Washington correspondent of the Phil
adelphia Press (Col. Forney,) declares
that there is no truth in it. He says:
"a gentleman here, personally &C.
quainted with Garibaldi and his son,
received letter from the latter few
days ago, in which the son says he de.
sired himself to come out and take a
party in the struggle now going on
here for liberty, but that his father OBJ
jected, on the ground that ours was g
family quarrel, and could be settled
more easily without foreign interior
ence than with it, and that it was based
upon political question in which the
nations were not interested, and in the
settlement of which they could not be-
come parties. These are now the views
and sentiments of Garibaldi, as ex
pressed by his son in private cores
pondence of very late date"

Second decentralization NJ. Heazlt. The
company leaves tonight for Detroit, where they
will be mustered into the United States service
They are without exception the finest looking body
of men that have enlisted at least from this section
and we venture to say that better or more sub
stantial set of men, of the same number. canno
be got together from any quarter MANY of then
are over six feet in highth, and the entire
averaging five feet ten inches. The companv i,
composed almost wholly of farmers and mechanics
who understand fully that the work they are calet
upon to perform Is no child's play. The officer
of the company are prompt, energetic bushes
men, fully competent to fill any post in regimen
with credit to themselves and honor to the country
Capt Denison is certainly entitled to great DEF
of praise for his efficiency in getting the compan
together, and that he will prove equally capable

posed in him, there can be no doubt. May success
attend this fine company in their efforts to sustai

To DR.. HERRIcK, Albany, N. My Dear
Doctor II write this to inform you Of the wonder
full effect of your Sugar Coated Pills on my elder
daughter. For three years she has been effected
with bilious arrangement of the system, sadly
imparing her health, which has been steadily
failing during that period. When in New York in
April last friend advised me to test your Pills.
Having the fullest confidence in the judgment of
my friend, 1 obtained supply of Messrs, Barnes
& Park, Druggists, Park Row, New York. On
returning home, we ceased all other treatment,
and administered your Pills, one each night. The
Improvement in her feelings, complexion, diges-
ton, etc. surprised us all. A rapid and permanent
restoration to health has been the result We used
less than five boxes, and consider her entirely
well. consider the above just tribute to you as
a Physician, and trust it will be the means OF
inducing many to adopt your Pills as their family
medicine.

NEW YORK FIRE ZOUAvEs.-1t is
now we'll understood that this corps of
men has been greatly overrated, and
that the reputation it has acquired for
efficiency, has been owing to the exu-
berant fancy of the New York report
ers and the press. Neither their dis
cipline nor their action on the field was
such as to bear criticism. Some OF
them did well, but the great majority
were not reliable; the Zouayes have
had the credit of repelling the Black
Horse Cavalry, when in truth it was
the Minnesota Regiment that did the
work cutting up that portion of the
enemy; the Zouaves took no battery
whatever, though some of the illustra
ted journals are filled with fancy en-
cravings of these imaginary assaults

THE NEW POSTAGE STAMPs.-The
old contract, under which our postage
stamps were made by Toppan, Carpen-
ter & Co., of Philadelphia, having ex-
pired, the new one has been awarded
to the National Bank Note Company
of New York, who have prepared new
and costly dies for all the different de-
nominations, differing somewhat from
the old styles. The stamps present a
very much improved appearance in
point of color. The stamps are now
being distributed among postmasters.
1t is calculated that during the coming
year from August l, 1861, about 2o0,-
100000 stamps will be issued. The
new stamps are uniform in design, hav-
ing the value desi gnated in figures on
each of the upper corners, and the let
tiers U. S. in the lower corners, in ad-
dition to the gu. S. postage, one cent"
and so on upward. The one cent stamp
represents profile bust of Franklin,
and the three cent profile of Wash
ington. The FIVE cent has the head of
Jefferson, and ten, twelve and twenty
four cent the head of Washington, the
thirty cent the bust of Franklin, and
the ninety cent is distinguished by
Trumbull's head of Washington. Dur
ing the year 1860 the number of stamps
delivered to the Post-Office Depart
ment was 223, s67,27O. The average
increase for a number of years past has
been about 10, 1000, 900 per annum.
