ANOTHER DECISION OF THE TAX con-.
MISSIONER.


Mr. T. Allan. commissioner of taxes, has made
another decision in regard to taxes, which especially
interests planters. Here it is:
OFFICE OF CoMMIssIoSER OF TAxEs,
RlcuMoSD, December 2, 1861. y
.John u. Pope Esq, State Collector, Columbia, South
Carolina:
Sir: Your letter Of the llth ultimo was received
some days ago and submitted to the secretary OF
the Treasury In my lettSr ACCOMPANYING yours,
expressed my views follows, TO wit: ~ have the
honor to submit letter from MIR. rope, ana 70 ask
your instructions. My opinion Is, that farmer
will have no right to a credit upon the ad rdtGrem
tax upon his property Qn one district by the value
of the tithc produced on another and separate pam
tatlon III another district Paragraph l, section l.,
act OF ith OF June, says: From the tax or the
value OF property employed in agriculture snail be
deducted the value of the tax in kind derived there
trOm.' The value Of the tax in kind derived from
plantation No. may lawfully be credited upon the
amount OF tax assessed upon that plantation and
other property employed in its culture, because, ac-
cording to the language Of the act, it IS derived
thcrcfrom. But part Of it is derived from PLAN
| tation No. and the other property employed on
it; and no part Of 1t can be credited upon the 0d
r0Iof"m tax on No. l, and rice rcys0 Therefore,
t. take the case. put by Mr. Pope: A has agricul-
tural property III two districts and hats Wade sepa-
rate returns i'll each district. In district the
tflc very far over the nd r0'orrM tax and III
the other it falls short In the first he
ccivc credit beyond five per cent, and conse-
q,Iently cancels the other and there will be
nd rniorcm tax to pay in that district; but i'll the
other where the value of the tithc falls short, Mr.
Pore thinks there should be credit allowed for the
surplus tiihe i'll the tirst-namcd district. think
not; and think it would be contrary to the inten.
ton of the law to allow it, Therefore, in the second
| case, the farmer must pay Il money tax upon the
SUI plus after deductnS the value of the tithe."
| These views approved by the Secretary Of the
Trca> >ury, and am directed by him to conmuni-
| cate the same to YOU.
| Very respectfully, your obclicnt servant,
| L ALLAN, Commissioner.

threw the bodies out. Fifty dead ne
groes were thrown out at the ford. As
the wcaried command slowly made their
way back, they were able to estimate
the amount of the disaster done to the
enemy. Not less than two hundred Of
them (mostly negrocs) had been killed,
besides the wounded; and the road, for
the last eight miles from Mrs. Will
l'ams's-was strewn with the plunder,
which there was now leisure to collect.

GONE TO THE YANKEEs.--Among those
who embraced aboli.ionism, and went
North from Atlanta with the Yankees,
was William NJ. Markham, for many
years resident Of that city, where he
had made large fortune. Scofeld, his
partneri in the rolling mills, and John
Flynn, master machinist of the Western
and Atlantic railroad. Also, John MOca-
silan, city treasurer, and who had posses
sion of the city funds; w. j. Hudson,
county tax collector; and II. c. Hol-
comb, clerk of the city council. The IN
tclligencer very deservedly holds the
names of these men up as proper objects
of public scorn and indignation.

CHARCOAL FOR TURKEYs.-Four tur-
keys were confined in pen and fed on
meal, boiled potatoes and oats. Four
others of the same brood were also, at the
same time, confined in another pen, and
fed daily on the same articles, but with
one pint Of finely -pulverized charcoal
mixed with their meal and potatoes
They also had plentiful supply Of bro
ken charcoal in their pen. The eight
were killed on the same day, and there
was difference of one and half pounds
each in favor of the fowls which had been
supplied with the charcoal, they being
much the fattest and the meat greatly
superior in point Of tenderness and flavor.

SAN Francisco, Oct. 9.--The damage by
the earthquake yesterday amounts to con-
siderable in the aggregate, many houses
needing patches or new plasterng, and re-
pairing broken windows. The City Hall
was damaged in the front wall to such an ex-
tent that a portion must be rebuilt at cost
of several thousand dollars. The Merchants
Exchange building, opposite the Christian
House, will probably require rebuilding
Noreally substantial well llconstructed build
ings were seriously damaged.
Santa Cruz felt the shock more severely
than any other town in the State. Several
brick house were SO badly damaged that
partial reconstruction Is necessary. A dis
patch from there says there was general
tumble down of chimneys, and those Tleft
standing were turned partially around. The
motion was apparently from east to west.
The ground along the river open in fissures
and spouted water like geysers. The peo-
pie are unable to use some of the wells,
which are either dry or filled with sand.
A chimney at the powder mill was thrown
down, and other injuries done to the works.

Wool continues to lean upwards, dealers feeling
next June. and at much higher rates than what they
are asking now. The great demand for woolens and
the fact that many manufacturers have sold goods
in advance, will compel them to operate their mills
night and day to supply the demand sol that the con-
sumption of wool will not be seriously interfered
with. We are aware however, that the supply Of
labor may operate to some extent against operating
mills night and day; but the large profits which man
ufacturers are making, will enable them to offer such
Inducements to the laborers will furnish supply
