YORK DISTRICT. The E,.qui7,7' says
that Mrs. Emily E. Alexander has
been appointed postmistress at York
vile.
In reference to the crops, the En-
Yuiyer says: A cold. wet and back
ward spring has been followed by
continuous and heavy rains, that have
done serious damage to the crops.
The prospects of farmers, in this Dis
trict, are altogether disheartening
The unsettled condition of the labor
system, bad seed and wet weather
have all combined against him. The
cotton is scarcelyye visible above the
ground, and promises badly The
wheat crops are better, but less than
an average will be produced. Another
destructive hail-storm passed over the
upper portion Of the District, on Sat
urday last, utterly running many
farms

HoCsE BCRNED.-We regret to
learn that the dwelling-housc Of our
hlghl y-esteemed fellow-citizen, Mr..
Cleland Belin, was destroyed by fire
on the night of the 9TH instant, to-
gethcr with every piece of furniture
he possessed. The only property
saved was his money and paper. The
cause of the fire is supposed to have
been the result of accident.
Brutal MURDER.-A most brutal
murder was committed in this Dis
trict last week, on the plantation o:
Capt. j. \. Salters \ negro boy,
aged about twelve years, brutally
murdered another boy aged about
seven. The circumstances, as we are
Informed, arc these: The murderer
took offence at some trihing cause
given by the deceased, and beat him
! In q severe manner. He afterwards
attempted to drown the boy in Il pond
OF water. but finally knocked him in
the head with an axe, and sccrcteG
the body, which had not been found

principles of human nature. To ex-

The Issue. The New York World
says an interesting discovery is de-
veloped in the following official com
munication:
The issue of ,rAue sugar to de-
pendent freedmen and Others was in
obedience to an order from Brevet
Brig. Gen. H. T. Clark, Assistant
Commissary General. Il copy of
which Is now on file in the Office OF
the Depot Commissary at Newbern,
North Carolina.
Very respectfully, Your obedient
servant,
ISAAC 4. ROoEKRANS,
Capt. Co. d, .. S. ""
We were at loss to know what the
radical journals meant by constantly
narading The Issue at the head Of
editorial articles during the war. 1t
Iaeant, we now learn, the millennium
happily arrived at last, when tissues
of white sugar" should be made, at
government expense, ''to dependent
freedmen and others'-the "others"
by no means comprehending white
mechanics and laoorers, who are
very glad TO be able to buy, with
their own money, q reasonable
amount of brown sugar. The guar
dians of ''the nations wards" are re-
spcctfully informed that. thus early
IN the season. peaches can be pur-
chased on Broadway at sixty cents
piece, and hot-house grapes at two
dollars per pound or thereabouts.
Wool Duty AND CorroN TAx.-The
Toledo Bla>ic, of the Sth inst, states.
upon the authority of Mr. Spaldine,
Representative from the Ouyahoga
District of Ohio, that the tariff bin
will come from the committee next
week, and will charge pn foreign wool
that enters into competition with
Ohio wool q duty of from ten to
twelve cents per pound; that the bill
will be passed into law, without a
reasonable doubt, and that prices will
govern themselves accordingly.
1t is snrmised here that the Senate
Committee on Finance will propose
some modification of the internal
revenue bill III relation to the pro-
posed increase of tho tax on cotton
from two to five cents a pound. They
will probably reduce the rate, or
regulate 1t by sliding scale accord
ing to the price. 1t has been demon
strated to the satisfaction of every
practical man, that = tax on cotton at
this time will be extremely preiudi-
clal to our commercial and financial
interests operating as bounty upon
the production OF cotton in Egypt,
India and other countries, and de
priving US of that monopoly Of the
cotton market of the world which we
formerly enjoyed

AS no provision had been made up to this
time by law for the payment of any portion
of the interest on the State debt, and as the
Legislature found upon assembling that all
the State revenue that could be collected
would not be more than sufficient to defray
the ordinary expenses of the government for
the current year, no interest could be paid
upon it. An act was therefore passed author
ling the funding of the interest due upon the
State debt up to January 1st 1867. Under
this act not two millions has yet been funded

be funded until the act expires by limitation
on January LIST, 1867. Then on the first day
