to carry into effect. At least tcenty-sir
thousand collectors will be necessary to
gather these taxes. and of this number,
three thousand will be required in the
State Of Pennsylyania.

2. Slaves to remain under apprentice

CONFIsCAToN BY GEN. CURTIS.
Curtis, it seems, has no particular horror
for that matter. Three negroes, former
ly slaves employed in the rebel service,
having been taken as contraband of war,
the General DEGREES that "They are here
by coniscated, and lot being needed for
public service, are permitted to pass the
pIckets of this command northward, with
out let or hindrance, and are forever
eniancipated from the service of their
masters, who allowed them to aid in the
efforts to break up the Government and
laws of our country" There IS ring to
this proceeding and this talk which we
rather like.

CoTToN.-On the 18th of March, the
Liverpool stock of cotton was 423,OOO
bales, having been reduced 242, 900 bales
since January lst. At that rate of re-
duction, the stock would be exhausted by
the lst of August
The receipts from January 1st to
March 18th, were very light, the last East
India crop not being due before tie lst
of April.
On the 18th of March, the East India
cotton known to be at sea for Liverpool,
was 1913 900 bales.
Upon the whole, there is abundance of
time yet, to get at the crop in the South
ern States, before L We pool is out f cot
ton. And if the Southern crop is never
reached, the Englishmen will manage to
do without it, which is a much less diff
fcult matter than it has been supposed to
be.

The Coming Battle.

The next great battle will be at Cor
inth, Miss, which shall decide, II not
the issue of the war, at least the fate OF
the Mississippi Valley. Corinth is ID
the extreme northeastern corner OF MIS-
sissippi, at the Junction of the Mobile
and Ohio with the Memphis and Charles
ton railroads. 1t is about twenty miles
distant from Pittsburgh Landing on the
Tennessee river, where General Grants
army is centered Beauregard commands
the rebel army, said to be sixty or seven
ty thousand strong. Already the pick
cts of the two armies are within hailing
distance Of each other General Grant
has q large force-the heroes of Donel-
sou-aud the esprit du corps is said to be
admirable. Three divisions of Gen. Bu-
ellis army-Nelsons, Thomas's, and Me-
Cook's-have probably joined him by
this time, as they had at last accounts
made half the distance by march from
Nashville. When the battle is given,
therefore, there will be no great disparity
in numbers. We have on our side such
names as Grant, Smith, McCiernand,
Sherman, Thomas, McCook, Nelson, Lew,
Wallace and Hurlbut; while the rebels
have Beauregard, Polk, Cheatham, &c.
A victory at Corinth gives US Memphis
eighty miles distant for all the lighting
men of Memphis have come here to make
the last determined effort. Memphis in
our hands, Island No 10 falls by its own
weight. We shall take Island No. 10,
therefore, by this movement on Memphis,
leaving the brave Com. Foote to hoist the
flag and bring away the prisoners.
