learn the following additional particulars
respecting the capture Of Kinston, N. c.:
F The assault on the city was led by Gen.
Cox, whose forces were strongly massed
on two sides of it. For some time past our
troops were engaged in erecting fOrmtda.
BILE earthwOrks, which were constructed In
semi. circular tiers. When the siege CONF
menced Gen. Cox and his command were
strongly intrenched. livery effort they
made to take the city stOrm was vigOr-
ously repulsed by the rebels who are said
to have ''fought like tigers" The enemy
contested our advance for several days and
when the struggle was about to end in
their defeat, they charged on our troops
nine times, who took, on each occasion, re-
fu4e in their intrenchments. Gen. Cox
and his command behaved herOicaliy in
the contest. One hundred and sixty Of the
wounded men were conveyed, on Sunday
last to the hospitals in Newbern. where
they are now under treatment.
Some ofthe crew Of the rebel ram Neuse,
which was destroyed before Kinston, were
captured. 1t formed one Ut the principal
defences Of the city.
1t was stated at Newbern that portion
of Sherman's army had effected a junction
with Gen. Schotield's forces.

Gen. Sherman Cuts Sec. Stanton.

:
The Washington special of the Cincin-
natl Gazettefin his account of the grand
review of the Army of the Tennessee in
that city on Wednesday, records this fact:
t t.The aninlosity existing between Gen.
Sherman and Secretary Stanton on ac-
count of the latter's early and unquali-
fed denunciation of General Sherman S
terms of agreement conditionally made
with Johnston, is doubtless we'll known.
Occupying the stand on Gen. Sherman IS
Iarrival, were Generals Grant, Meade,
Meigs, Hancock, and President Johnson,
Secretary of the Treasury McCulloch,
| Postmaster General Dennison, Attorney
General Speed, Secretary Stanton, Mrs
Sherman, Mrs. Grant, Mrs. Meade, and a
large number of other prominent ladies.
Most of the gentlemen met Gen. Sher-
man as he entered the party and grasped
his hand. Secretary Stanton was seated
between Gen. Grant and the President
lGen. Sherman approached the President
textending his hand. When Secretary
Stanton rose and extended his, General
Sherman turned on his heel and seated
himself at the further end of the plat
form, without even bowing recognition
The slight wus no sooner given than no
tticed by the multitude, who, in the en-
thusiasm of the moment, loudly applaud
ed the act, and even laughed ilnmoderate
ly at the Secretary's discontinue. Ac
companying Gen, Sherman, but a it'll
retired, rode Major General,O O. c. How
ard, the present chief of the Freedmen
Bureau, and late commander Of the Arm,
Of the Tennessee. He was loudly cheer
led, and following GeE. Sherman, appear
ed ou the stand Immediately after the un
pheasant meeting just referred to, an
took his seat amid din of cheers.

a Great Humbug Exploded.

The New York Commercial leading
Republican organ, makes note of the fact
that the story about JEFF Davis, disguis-
ing himself in his wife's crinoline, is
thoroughly exploded. The editor adds:
''We are now informed that he was dis
guised with his wife's shawl, which was
wrapped around his head, while water
proof cloak enyeloped his person. Even
the use of this disguise may have been
misrepresented, for Col. Pritchard says
that he did not see JEFF. in it. but was
told so by some of his and that Mrs.
Davis had acknowledged that he wore the
articles at the moment of his capture
Itswould be interesting for the purpose OF
history, that the true facts should be dis
closed, and that the public no longer be
humbugged by idle tales"
This puts the laugh altogether against
those who, deceived by lies, have indulg-
ed in squibs and jokes, that have no 9TH
er foundation. The jibe is now at the
other end of the mouth, and in a different
direction.

DECLINE IN THE PRIcE OF Produce
The recent heavy decline in the price o.
produce has seriously affected many en-.
gagged in that branch of trade. The de.
cline in the price of oats has been the
greatest,consequently operators are heavy
losers. We hear of one cargo arriving al
New York from Chicago, the sale of which
at current prices would not meet tbs
transportation and other charges against
it. Dealers in rye and barley have also
suffered. In many quarters we learn thai
the losses already sustained have more
than overbalanced the profits made during
the reign of high prices since the break.

gGg Judge Bond, of Maryland noto
rious radical, has instructed the Grand
Jury that whoever shall arrest civilians
hereafter, and try them by court martials
shall be liable to indictment. We dom
know that the law has any power yet; but
that is favorable symptom. In Con
stitutional Government of any vitality
the judiciary are as powerful as if their
dicta were armed with bayoncts. How
long we shallstake to get back to such a
condition remains to be seen. There is
no freedom without law is supreme; but
people will not find that out as long as
power suits the majority. They can use
it for short cuts to their objects.

TAX OF HIRED LABOR ON FARMS
Willis S. Hargrove, of Gibson county,r
Gently addressed note to the Commits
sioner of Internal Revenue, in regard &c
the tax for hired labor on farms, to which
he received the following reply,as we find
it published in the Princeton Democrat:
Whatever you pay for hired labor, ae-
tually employed In carrying on the farm,
is deducsable, whether such labor is per-
formed in spring, summer, autumn OF
winter, from the farm profits. The de-
duction for sshired labor" includes sub
sistence only when the farmer furnishes
the same, as part of the laborer's pay.
Very respectfully, =. A. ROLLINS.

CRops.-The Harrisburgh Telegraph
announces that the grain and fruit crops
were never more promising, in most pla-
ces, than at present. The spring show.
ers caused the winter grain to spring up
and shoot forth its heads rather suddenly
The farmers, for once, do not complain in
regard to this crop. Oats and corn are
doing finely, any if favored with an occa-
sional shower during the summer, will
yield abundantly. There is some COM
plant relative to the fruit prospects in
certain localities, but as general thing
there will be fair crop.

1S:raws Show How the Wind Is Blow
ipgv

The Philadelphia Evening Bulletin
and the Cleveland Leader, influential Ad-
ministration papers, are both out for the
repeal of the Income Tax Law. They
give the following reasons for it:
l. 1t tends to lowerthe moral standard
of the people by <fering an immense
temptation to deception. These tempta
tions are of such nature that in a ma
jority of cases they cannot be discovered
therefore, the iuducemeut to practice
them is proportionately greater.
1t falls most heavily on the hones
and straightlorward,a and lightcst on those
who act uncenscientiouslv; the pcnaitie:
fall exceptionally and d. not alter this
gcaeral effect.
3. 1t is inquisit rial and, to many, ex
cecdingly repulsive.
4. 1t imposes on many a long and
troublesome labor to make the estimate
and calculations. Manywho keepimper
feet accounts can not possibly do Other
wise than guess, and here the honest ant
honorable make up for the deficiencies o
those who are otherwise.
:. It requires very expensive machine
ry for its collection.
For these all-sufhcient reasons we hop,
that other modes of taxation will b
found to take the place Of this. which,
moreover, is essentially discordant will
the character of our people.
