Gates issued under the Act of February 17th,

When offered in payment they must be duly
assigned. The certificate of:the Tax Col.
lector or Deputy Tax Collector, or of any
Magistrate, in the words "Executed before
me-" and signed officially, shall be sufici-
ent authenti6cation. But if there are pre-.
vious assignments the Tax Collector shall
see that they sre properly authenticated.
q When the bond or certificate offered
in payment is greater in amount than the
tax to be paid, the Collector may return the
difference by assigning other certifcstes or
bonds, if be shall have any such on hand,
the tax payer paying any fraction under one
hundred dollars in the new currency, or in

From the Charlotte IN. c. } Bulletin.
Brigadier- General Weitzel.
CHARLOTTE, April 27, 1864

CHARLOTTE, April 27, 1864.
EDITOR BULLETIN Il was rejoiced this
morning to learn that Brig. Gen. Weitzel
was the Yankee officer captured at Ply
mouth.
I was in New Orleans when it fell into
the hands of Beast Butler. Woitzel was a
Lieutenant in his army and soon proved
himself worthy of his commander. In a
few weeks after taking possession of the
city, Lieut.. Weitzel was appointed ssAssis.
tant Military Commandant and Acting
Mayor of New Orleans"
Among other acts, I heard of one that
shows the character of the man. Putting
on citizens dress, be went with man, who
proved to be traitor to us, and called as a
visitor on one of our Southern families, and
was introduced in such manner that they
thought him a friend of the South, and, of
course spoke very freely of their surround
ings. Upon information gained in that way
he tried to arrest, as spy, son Of that
family who had "run the blockade" to visit
his friends. Happily be failed.
He was q Lieutenant in the U. States
Engineer corps, and, I think, was for some
time the Engineer. in charge when the New
Marine Hospital was building in N. Orleans.
As Engineer he had been engaged in sur
veying' lands on the Lafourehe for the Gov
ernment. In that way he became acquaint-
ed with the topography Of the country, and
with many of the planters in that section
of the State. For this reason be was
made Brigadier General Of volunteers,
and placed in charge Of the expedition fit
ted out for the destruction of that rich and
beautiful section of Louisiana. 1t was his
soldiers that, laid waste that country, pill
lnged and destroyed the property of those
who in days past had treated him with the
hospitality and courtesy due gentleman.
1t was his soldiers that plundered and des.
troyed the plantations of Gen. Bragg and
Gen. Taylor. It was by his orders, (while
organizing his brigade, near Gneenville,) }
that Judge Burthe and family were turned
out of their beautiful residence, which was
Immediately converted into hospital for his
Yankee thieves.
These and many other acts of like char
acter, have the people Of New Orleans and
Louisiana suffered at his hands, because
they would not bow down and worship the
ape at Washington and the Beast he had
set up in New Orleans.
I hope the authorities at Richmond will
take care that his passion for plunder and
devastation shall not soon again be gratifed
at the expense of the people of the Confed-
eracy. Very respectfully,
R. G. KERR,
Ex.Librarian, Lyceum Library.

SORGHUM SYRUp.-Some of our farmers

SORGHUM SYRUP. Some Of our farmers
appear to have been in too much of hurry
in getting their syrup into. market. The
specimens we have examined are quite crude,
and reflect but little credit on the manipula-
tor. They SAVIOR strongly Of the vegetable
acid, and are covered with froth, which is
full of speeks and small pieces Of the cane.
These are defects which might be so easily
corrected, that our friends will take it kind
ly if we submit few simple directions in
the matter. 1t is absolutely necessary for
the good keeping Of the syrup that the acid
should be neutralized; and every farmer has
the means at hand for doing it. While the
syrup is boiling, pour into it from time to
time small quantity of ley, which is TO be
repeated as long as there is any eferves.
cence or fosming-skimmiug each time, so
as to reject the matterthat rises to the sur
face. And continue to boil until the syrup
becomes thick. This may be ascertaiued
by taking up small quantity ina spoon
and letting it cool, when the desired consis,
tency will be readily apparent. Better to
have ten gallons of rich, thick syrup, of
golden color, than twelve, or even fifteen Of
a vatery consistency, which no one will buy
as long as he can get superior Article. -
