THE WHISKY TRADE.

The Cincinnati Gazette says:
The whisky trade has fallen of immensely in
volume as indicated by the import and export
tables Of this port. This is owing in a great
measure 10 the heavy stocks accumulated in
anticipation of the tax imposed by the last Con
gress. The receipts and exports since September
lst as compared with the corresponding time
the previous year, show the following result
Decrease in imports bils................l2 l ,65l
decrease in exports, brls.................72 469
Excess OF decrease IN imports, brls. 40 Ice
To the falling OF in the supply is TO be added
the product OF the di,uleries within the city,
and IN the immediate vicinity, which are
wagoned in, and do not heref ne enter into i'm
port tai les. These distlleTes have been idle for
nve months. These figures indicate that the
time cannot be far distant when the Government
will be in receipt OF large revenue from the ex
else tax.
The income frou the whisky tax, when pre-
sent stocks are exhausted, will be immense. The
small imports, AZ this port alone, since Sep.em-
Der lst, would, If it paid the full tax, yield

shown by the exports exclusive Of that corsum
ed in the city, was SO 227 hbls and We suppose
a moderate estimate OF the whole would be 10.

The Whisky tax alone, " hen the manufacturing
buiaess is fairly in operation, win pay fully one
half the interest on the public debt. IL this shall
be fairly enforced, taxes on otheI aTticles may

Mr.. Adrien Dickinson, merchant of this
city, recently from Fayetteville, says it is not
safe for Union man to express his sentiments
in that city.
Two women, school teachers, recently went
from Wilmington to establish school for col
ored people at Fayetteville The sheriff would
not permit them 10 land, and informed them il
they were men they would be served as such
people were before the war.
While in Fayetteville, Mr.. Dickinson says a
negro was strung up by the thumbs in the
public square and received 40 lashes from a
civil officer recently appointed by Gov. Hol-
den.
Collisions between the military authorities
and representatives of the Provisional Govern
ment occur continually, and the officers Of the
army are looked upon with contempt. Nsa
