A writer In the Mobile Register furnishes
da'a from which tolerably correct Idea may
be obtained Of the fighting ioroe Of tho Con.
federate States. His figures are derived from
the United States census tables Of 1910 and
80, and upon the assumption that the ratio Of
increase from 1850 to 1860 Is a. great % that
from 1910 to 1850.
The census tables show that, 10 1850, the
slave States (l4) had white male population

The Tax Bill.

Since the report of the tax bill publish
ed, was given to the public, several new
amendments have been made to it, as fol-
lows:
For kissing q. pretty girl, S 100.
" For kissing a. homely one, $2.00-the
extra amount being added probably as q
punishment for the mans folly
For ladies kissing one another, Ten dol
lars-the tax is placed at this rate in or
der to break up the custom altogether.
1t being regarded by our NJ C's as piece
of inexcusable absurdity.
For every Irritation, 10 cents.
Every young man who has more than
one "girl," is taxed $500. BE
For counting in the kitchen, rs cents.
Counting in the sitting room, so cents.
Counting in the parlor, S1.00.
Counting in romantic place, SIS 90, and
80 cents for each offence thereafter
Seeing u lady home from church, rs
cents for each offence. a a,
Seeing her home from the dime society,
5 cents-the proceeds to be appropriated
to the relief Of disabled army chaplains.
From lady who paints, so cts.
For wearing low necked dresses, $.1.00.
For each curl in lady's head above
ten, S cents.
For every unfair device for entrapping
young men into the sin Of matrimony,
$500.
For wearing hoops larger than ten feet
in circumference, 8 cents for each hoop.
Old bach's over thirty are taxed $40.
Over forty, 500
Over fifty, $50, and sentenced Danish
ment in Utah.
Each pretty lady is to be taxed from rs
cts. to $25, she to fix the estimate on her
own beauty. 1t is thought that very
large amount will be realized from this
provision.
Each boy baby, so cents.
Each girl baby, 10 cents
Families having more than eight babies
are not to be taxed.

steamers Columbia, Julie and Lopkin, to
run the blockade, are laden with munitions
of war for the Confederacy, the arrival of
the Adelaide and Mary Wright, loaded
with cotton from Charleston, and the build
ing of the steam gunboat by Shird & Co.,
at Ruckerhead, intended as privateer for
the Confederates, have all been reported
to you. The gunboat Oreto, built here as
a privateer for the Confederates, sailed
from here two weeks ago. There is the
greatest activity manifested by the Con-
federates and their agents.
