THE Treasury Department bas published

TIE Treasury Department has published
its revised regulations for the government
of trade in what are known as the Re
stricted Districts. These regulations we're
adopted on the 23d of December last. and
are now in force here in West Virginia and
elsewhere. The State of West Virginia.
excepting those counties supon and South
of the Kauawha river.n comprises the first
district, and is named the Wheeling dis
triet. Tie counties upon and south of that
river do not appear to be assigned to any
district but we presume are under the con-
troll of the Collector at Cincinnati. There
are several othar districts, in all thirteen.
running down as far Natchez. All these
districts constitute what is termed the
First Special Agency. Zach separate dis
trict is under the control of an Assistant
Special Agent appointed by the Secretary
fthe Treasury. Each one of these Assis-
tant Special Agents appoints the Local
Special Agents in his district, or rather
dominates them to the General Agent
The only officers authorized to permit the
transportation fmsrehaudtse into such re-
stricted districts. or to any insarreetiouary
State within TIE First Special Agency, are
the Surveyors at Ptttsburg, Wheeling, Gin
cinnati, Madison, Louisville. New Albany,
Evansville, Paducah, Cairo, Quincy, St.
Louis, Nashville and Memphis.
WsquOte Sec. of these Regulations go
far as itapplies to this district:
In order to prevent, under pretense Of Ie-
climate trade, the conveyance of supplies
which are intended for persons in rebellion
against the Government, or for places iun-
der the control of insurgents, and also to-
prevent undue accumulation of goods at
points in dangerous proximity to districts
under the control of insurgents, it is found
necessary to restrict, temporarily, the
trade with certain parts of States not de-
clared in Instruction, from which the in
snrgents could be otherwise conveniently
supplied; therefore, no merchandise de-
signed Tor sale will be permitted to 20 to
any place in the State of West Virginia, on
or south of the Baltimore and Ohio Rail-
| road, between Oakland and Grafton, nor to
either of those places, nor to any place on
or south OF the Northwestern Virginia
Railroad, between Grafton and Parkers-
| burg, nor to either of those places nor to
any place on the south side of the Ohio
river, between Parkersburg and the mouth
| of the Big Sandy; nor to any place in the
State of Kentucky, upon or south of line
drawn from the mouth of the Big Sandy to
Bowling Green, except upon and in pur-
suance OF the certificate of tho proper
local special agent, and the letter of APP
pointment and instructions to such agent
will in all cases indicate the amount of
merchandise no will be allowed to recon-
mend for his district.
The schedule of prices for permits, &C.,
is rs follows:
FOR FAMILY SUPPLIES on Private PURCHASES.
Five dollars worth aud under, free of all
charges.
Over S. and under $50. 8 cts. for Rev
enue stamp on the permit.
Over $40 and under $50, 8 cts. for the
permit, 10 cts. for affidavit, aud cts. for
the stamp.
Over 500 aud under $500, 10 cts. for the
permit, 10 cts. for the affidavit, aud cts.
for the stamp. sg
Over 500, 10 cts. for permit, 10 cts. for
AmuaNltI o Gus. Tor stamp,
on GOODS FOR REsALH.
On any amount of Eve dollars and mp
wards, 20 cts. for permit, 10 cts. for afIi
davit, 3 cts. fOr stamp.
Each county is allowed a certain amount
of gOOds per month, according to the pop.
ulatiOu. For instance, the three counties
of Taylor, Barbour vud Randolph are al
lowed an aggregate of some forty thousand
dollars per month. This amount is con.
sidered to be the sum total of what those
counties actually need for their own proper
wants. Last month they did not take up
their whole allowance. The aggregate,
however, is said to work uuequally in this
way-thata county like Taylor consumes
more than her allowance, while one or
both of the other counties do not. Itmay
also work uuequally in another way, that
people from other counties may come into
one of those counties aud buy goods, in
stead Of buying in their own counties, II
is very difficult, therefore, to establish an
equitable proportion.
tits only 10 counties lying south OF this
in West Virginia that the permit system
obtains. The counties above Wheeling are
exempt, not being contiguous to insurrec.
.iOuary territory.
