Tho returns of incomes for 1864. So
far as they have been tested, show a
large increase on those of the previous
year. The special tax of October, 1864
of 5 per cent. realized to the TREASURY
some $3G,OOO,OOO. At the present rates
of per cent. on incomes of under s.. OOO
and 10 per cent. on those above s., 600,
the amount realized would have been
about S5O,OOO,OOO. It has been estilna-
ted that the amount the present wear
will exceed Sl4O, OOO, 600, making no ac-
count of the amount to be derived from,
the assessment of this tax industries
which were in insurreetion in 1864 and
of course had no revenue officers

nothing definitely as respects future
policy. They adjourned to meet in
more general convention, this day
Thursday week. Meanwhile, COM
lnittee has been appointed to submit
suggestions, correspondence, &C., to
the convention. The general feeling is
said to be feverish and unsettled, but
favors an advance in the price of nails.
Iron itself has advanced, and there are
not few who expect a further marked
rise. The inquiry for nails is reported
good, but holders, as a rule, are not
anxious to meet it at current rates.
