In confirmation of Mr.. Raymond's

not be surprising if they should take
some action on the matter before the

Feeding Union Prisoners.
We find the following paragraph in
our Northern exchanges:
"B1G PAY-At the evening session
of the United States Senate, on Tues
day, bill was passed to pay Mrs.
Amelia Pheester, of Columbia, South
Carolina, $4,000 for food and cloth
ing furnished to Union soldiers and

make, although we have to subscribe,
in the shape of taxes. to his cleemo-
synary institutions, yet we would sug-
gcst that the Committee on Finance of
the House give the above claim tho
rough investigation. Mrs. F., at the
beginning OF the war, and, indeed,
we believe, was throughout, until her
! departure, an ardent female "rebel, {"
| and all our citizens will remember
the grand hnbbub in front of her
house, when, from her own piazza,
she presented Q banner-the first, we
believe. that was presented to any
rebel corps in this city-to that gal
liant company, the Butler Guards, -
from Grecnville. There were other
small evidences Of her loyalty to the
now ''lost cause" but we will not
mention them. AS to her present
claim, we have no definite informa-
ton; but if she supplied these neces-
sarlcs to the Union soldiers in prison
here, we do not think five citizens of
Columbia We're aware of the fact.
We know this, that the Confederate
commissary stripped this market and
the surrounding farm-houses every
day to feed the prisoners while they
were lodged here or in the camp over
the river; so that we think it but
proper this claim should be properly
"vcntilated' by the new ''retrench-
ment committee" of Congress.
San Francisco dispatches announce
the sailing from that port of an eype-
dition, ostcnsibly intended for the

TAx on INCOMES. A case is being
prepared by citizen of Springfield,
ILL.,, to test, before the United States
Supreme Court, the coustitutionahty
of income tax. This person reports
an income of $50. 900, but. protesting
against the legality of the tax. de-
clines to pay it, and will, when the
usual compulsory action is brought.
ask an injunction from Judge Davis,
OF the United States Court, restrain
ing the revenue collectors from act
ing. BY this means the question
will ultimately be brought before the
highest judicial tribunal for adiudica-
ton.
The counsel WHO is engaged in pre-
parlng the movement against the
income tax law, makes the following
points:
l. The Federal Constitution pro
vidcs (article l, section 2, paragraph
3D. that representatives and direct
taxes shall be appointed among the
several States according to their
respective numbers
:. An income tax is 4 direct tax.
3. 1t must therefore be apportioned
among the several States according to
their numbers.
4. The income tax us now imposed
by Acts of Congress, is not apportion-
ed among the States according to
their numbers, bat is laid by the rule
Of uniformity.
.. The Acts of Congress imposing
such income tax are therefore un-
constitutional and void. The tax
cannot be collected.

What Manufactures Can Do.

What Manufactures Cam DO.
Mcqueen, celebrated statician,
in his account of the annual wealth
land income of England, mt the time
he made UP his compend, illustrates
with great force what manufactures
can do towards the prosperity of q
country. 1t appears from his statis-
tics that the value of the soil de-
voted to agriculture, embraced at
that time twenty -sixforty thirds of
the wealth OF the whole kingdom,
and that its value was twelve
times greater than all the capt.
tai invested in manufactures and
commerce-these latter, including her
ships, being only one-eighteenth Of
her national wealth. The agricultu-
raj capital was 93,311, 900, 900, pro-
ducing 13 per cent. profit, while the
manufacturing capital, only s218. :
ooo, 900, produced l2O per cent.
profit.
Commenting upon these facts, tho
New York Tribune says that this little
capital of .e21s, 100000 invested in
machinery, mills, furnaces, factories
and mines, has swollen the farming
capital Of little England to the gi-
gantic sum of .,93,311, 900, 900. and
made British farm worth ten times
as much rs one in wheat-growing Po-
land, which only grows wheat and
buys goods instead of making them.
Our object in bringing these figures
before our readers is to impress them
with the great necessity of embarkine g
in manufacturing enterprises as a
powerful agency in the resuscitation
of their fortunes. In England, the
manufactures have doubled and tire:
bled her population and sustained
her immense commerce The same
cause can produce like results Mt the
South, yea, to four-fold degree, be-
cause her soil and climate are une.
qualled by any country on the face
of the globe. And now, when new
system of labor has to be introduced,
when hostile Legislation is taxing her
raw materials, it is the time, above
all times, to enter upon that new field
of enterprise, which will not only
secure the labor she requires, but
which, in the manufacture and sale
Of her own products, will, as if by
magic, restore her not only to former
prosperity, but to wealth and great
ness. The people of the South should
consider these things.
