Duels have been frequent in Hava-

Cuban, named Domingo Guiral and

Lieutenant-Colonel was killed.
Another between a Cuban, named

While being tried, before his release
by the people, he treated the authori-

Tax ON Cotton Sales.


The following in relation to the
income tax on cotton sales contains
official information which may be of
Importance to some of our readers:
TREASURY DEPARTMENT,
OFFICE INTERNAL REy'E DEPT,
WASHINGTON, May 10, 1866.
SIR: Your letter of May 13, I'D
dressed to Hon. Secretary of the
Treasury, in relation to income from
sales Of cotton in 1866, has been re-
felred to this Office.
I reply, that there are numerous
instances in the law where two or
more distinct taxes are imposed upon
the same receipts. For instance, the
manufacturer pays n tax on all his
products, and q license tax for the
business of manufacturing, and in
addition an income tax on his nett
profits. Other examples might be
adduced to show that it is not con-
trary to the spirit of the law to i'm
pose two or more taxes upon the
same gross receipts.
The payment of the tax of two
cents per pound on cotton, does not
therefore relieve the owner from pay
ment of income tax on his income
from the sale of such cotton. Such
n tax of two cents per pound may,
however, be deducted from the gross
income of the year when it was actu-
ally paid. 1t appears, however, that
you sold your cotton for the market
price less such tax You should,
therefore, return as income the price
actually received, without further de-
duction for such tax.
The law expressly requires all pro-
duce of the estate, sold during the
year, to be returned as income.
Therefore the time when such pro-
duce was raised cannot be taken into
account.
The amount of produce sold by the
farmer each year, is, on an average,
equal to the amount raised for sale.
and hence no injustice arises from
this provision of the law. Very
respectfully, D. C. WHITMAN,
Deputy Commissioner.
To SAM'L FREEMAN, ESQ, Newman,
Georgia.

A LITTLE RoMANcE-The grand
father of Gen. Robert F. Lee was a
rival Of Gen. Washington in a love
affair. The object Of their affection
was the beautiful Miss Grimes, the
first love of Washington, and whom
he celebrated as the lowland beauty. ;
Lee was successful and bore off the
prize. The son of this marriage,
Light Horse" Harry Lee, was
always held in great friendship by
Washington; and irving, in his
biography, suggests that the memory
of this tenderness for the mother was
not without its influence in connec-
ton with the son.
This friendship continued between
them until the death Of '.the father
Of his country Maj. Gen. Henry
Lee was gallant officer, the author
of "Mcmoirs of the War in the
South" Governor of Virginia in 1871 /;
an advocate of tho Federal Constitu-
ton i'll the Virginia Convention; u
member of Congress when Washing
ton died; appointed by Congress to
deliver the eulogy on the occasion,
and in his culogy originated the
classic words: First in war first in
peace, and first in the hearts Of his
countrymen.

COMMODORE j. r. TUCKER.
inodore John Randolph Tucker, late
of the Confederate navy, has received
the appointment of the supreme
command Of the Peruvian navy, with
the title of Admiral, and he departed
on the 1st instant from New York for
Peru. admiral Tucker was, by ar
rangement with the Peruvian Gov
ernment, permitted to take with him
his staff Of officers, and was accom-
panied in his departure by Capt. D.
p. McCorkle, Of this State and
Lieut.. Burt, of Norfolk. Capt.
McCorkle is to take command of one
of the vessels, and Lieut.. Burt is to
be flag lieutenant to the Admiral.
The State Of Peru could have Sc
lected no where superior sailor or q
more spirited and accomplished com
mander than Admiral Tucker. He
is u native Of Norfolk, and was
amongst the first in that corps Of
naval officers, which we believe was
superior to any in the world the
officers of the United States navy
before the war. A more gallant gen
Eenan never troa the deck OF :. YES
sel-while the grace and dignity of
ms department, and the gentlcness
and sincerity Of his character com
manded for him everywhere the re-
spect and love of his associates. All
who knew him deplore that he was
forced to Lave his, native land for
employment; but the good wishes of
his friends and countrymcn attend
him to his adopted country, and his
successes will ever be hailed here
with joy.-Richmomd DiSpncA.

Two CHILDREN IN ONE.-A Re-
VARIABLE FREAK OF NATURE.-The
Washington Star, of Saturday after
noon, gives the following account Of
a wonderful birth near that city:
On Thursday morning, the wife of
MIR. John Barnhardt, residing in
Uniontown, was delivered Of a child
which is great curiosity in its way,
almost outriyaling the Siamese Twins.
This child has two perfect heads, well
covered with hair, and are beautifully
featured, four arms, the bodies being
united just below them, two spinal
columns which unite in one pelvis,
two breast bones, but only one pair
of we'll formed legs. The physicians
who have seen this wonderful freak
OF nature, are under the opinion that
there are certainly two hearts, two
lungs, and that perhaps a portion of
the digestive organs are also double,
the two bodies not apparently losing
their individuality until they reach
the pelvis, and even at this. point,
where 1t is apparent, one body is
male; there IS some sign the other is
female. The features of one bears
IHe IeSGHlilEluCc OF 1cm0to ana the
other male. One of the bodies, or
rather one side of the body, was born
alive, and lived some time after birth,
and the other died in the birth.
This is the first product of the mar
rlage of the parties. The mother is
a young and healthy woman of about
twenty years of age, from the neigh
borhood of Lynchburg, Virginia, and
the father is q native of Germany,
about twenty-five or twenty-six years
old. The father was in the army,
and served in the neighborhood of
Lynchburg, where he married Tie
mother on the 14th of August last.
1t has not been definitely determined
as to what disposition will be made
of the bodies, but at the present they
are at DR.. Scollay's embalming es-
tablish1aent, where they have been
placed In alcohol. Notwithstanding
the bodies are fully developed, and
measure nearly eight inches across
the shoulders, the mother is doing
remarkably we'll.
