THE STOCKTON CAsE-Senator Po-
land has written letter to the Hon.
T.. p. Walton, defending his vote in
the Stockton case. He says if Mr..
Foot had been in the Senate, Vermont
would have given one more vote for
Mr.. Stockton. Mr. Poland no doubt
has good reasons for making the
statement; but for some time before
the vote was taken, Mr. Foot was
sick, and of course unable to thor
oughly examine the important subject.
But be that as it may, we have no de
sire to question Senator Poland's mo-
tives. We think, however, he made q
mistake, but we are inclined to regard
it more an error OF the head than
heart.

ATROCITIES IN SorrH CARoLINA.- !
writer whom the New York Evening
Post endorses as responsible, sends
from Columbia the statement that
"the war is still going on in the up

supports the assertion by the follow
ing statement of facts
In England and the adjacent dis
tricts, two United States soldiers have
been killed and several have been
wounded lately by persons who rule
those districts by force Of their ruf-
fanism. The rebel General Geery,
who left Lees army with few fol-

says he has never surrendered, was
arrested last week for completely IN the
atrocities against our troops, He de.

SO extensively in many portions of the

Tennessee, as Will be seen from the

THE people in this section are
gradually getting I heir eyes open to
the right and don't support johnson
in all his measures; and were he not
an East Tennesseean they would have
nothing to do with linn. In so far as
he tries to get Tenncs see admitted to
Congress they supp ort him, but no
further They do not support his in
discriminate pardonir z power, nor do
the majority of the Union men favor
the immediate admission Of the South
orn States, as it is well known here,
and felt too, that the Southern States
are at this time every whit as rebel
lious and disloyal as when Lee sur
rendered. Gen Thomas testimony

The RevoIutIOnists at Work.

The revolutionists in Congress let
no opportunity pass to strike blow
at the institutions of the country.
The other day, they rejected, in the
Senate, six nominations Of assessors
for Tennessee, sent into that body by
the President.
This is but another step in the
radicals fixed purpose. The Presi-
dent IS the regularly constituted APP
pointing power, and when the cad
vice and consent Of the Senate" is
mentioned as q coordinate operation
IN the matter of appointments, it was
merely constituting that body as an
advisory adjunct to the power in
question. The provision never con
templated that body Of men could
ever possibly occupy the Senate
Chamber of the United States, who
would soil their robes and degrade
their high Office by paltry exhibitions
OF personal animosity towards the
Executive
These nominees of the President
were from his own State, personally
known to him, and gentlemen, we
are informed, of irreproaclable cha
racter. Nothing could be brought
against them, save their earnest de-
sire for the restoration of the Union
In accordance with the Presidents
policy.
This progress in revolutioniz;ng the
institutions and all the acknowledged
rights and usages of our republican
form of Government, affords food for
reflection by the American people.
If not checked, it cannot eventuate
in anything else but in the subver-
sion of all our free institutions.

The selection of the delegates for the

by uniformity Of action and co-opera-
ton i'll whatever might be recon-
mended, and much good might be rc-

A Correct Estimate.

The Dry Goods Ecchn,ye, of New
York, has made up an estimate Of
the coming cotton crop, and as it is
based upon the statements of shcriffs
and other State officers and well-in-
formed citizens, from every country
or district in the cotton-growinc
States it may be regarded rs pretty
correct.
The estimate is, that the crop Will
be between one-fourth and one fifth
the crop of 1860. which would bring
it up, probably, to 100000 bales.
From the reports made in our South
crn exchanges, hy plal+tcrs and others,
and from the statements OF the e,1i-
tors themselves, based upon personal
knowledge, we arc inclined to believe
that from 1000, 900 to 1 800, 600
will cover the growing crop OF cotton.
Should this be the case, and the
crop is not increased by cXtraordina-
ry favorable seasons, and Il very late
fall, reasonably full prices may be
expected for the incoming crop. All
interested, however, in its price, will
make their own calculations on the
best information they can obtain
from the most reliable sources.

hshed. in pamphlet form, memorial
to Congress, advising the re-estab-
lishment of negro slavery. It pre-
sents the subject in q new phase. in
which it has probably not heretofore
been considered. Itholds that men are
divided into species and have differ
ent natures; that the negro finds his
civil liberty IN his slavery, and that
tho white man undergoes change in
America which makes slavery assen
tlal; that the French in Canada And
the Spaniard in Mexico have degene.
rated, and that the native people of
tho Northern United States are now
three inches less around the chest
than the Europeans. The author
brings forward many historical and
scientific facts in support of his argu
ment.

of another peculiarly radical pro

ers OF a religious school for young

The greatest indignation was aroused
among all classes of thepeople by this

soners were accompanied to the Jail
by the entire population. The final
result was that, through mingled
shame and fright, the radicals Wers
brought to their senses and released

The INCOME TAx.-A case Is being
prepared by citizen of Springfield.
illinois, to test before the United
States Supreme Court the constitn
tlopahty OF the income tax. This
person reports m income Of $50, 600.
but, protesting against the legality of
the tax, declines to pay it, and viii.
when the usual compulsory action is
brought, ask m Injunction from Judge
Davis, of the Supreme Court of Mi
nois, being in his circuit, restraining
the revenue collectors from acting.
BY this means, the question will ulti-
mateiy m be brought before the highest
lndicial tribunal for ADJUDICATION.
The income tax falls heavily upon
people of limited means, is very un-
popular, and, being in the main a war
measure in England, from whom we
borrowed it, it should not be CONT
n"cd IN time of peace. The other
taxes have been shown to be sufficient
for all purposes.

"a Journal OF Civil1zatfon."
In Wednesdays issue of the PAe-
MIC, we gave n communication from
the pen of a lady of this State, in re-
1ation to an article in the July num-
Der of Harpe'''s Monthly. The case
was strongly put by our fair CORES
pondent, and we can, from an exam
ination OF their pages, endorse her
statement in relation to tho remark
Of her companion, that there arc as
good and better articles in Hills
and Scott's magazines aud in the
Southern Presbyterian Rerie,r, than
can be found in any pages prepared
at the North.
And, even were it not SO, had we
to wait a. few years for all the inn
provements a liberal and generous
support would create in our periodi-
cal literature, would it not be far bet
ter, than to poison the minds of our
young by giving them such stuff :
abuse, .detraction and misrerresenta-
ton of our people-as these 81 called
literary publications statedly serve
up? In the last number of that foul
sheet issued by these same godly Har-
per's, there is an illustration that
must have been conceived by most
malignant heart. 1t represents as the
reason that Jefferson Davis could not
sleep, in his prison, skeleton whis-
pering in his ear, and figure, repre-
senting, we presume, (for we did not
read the letter-press,) the Goddess
OF Liberty, pointing o.. to him heaps
of slain. These were ,ne prominent
features in the Internal cartoon; but
we were too disgusted to look at it
long enough to discover the minuti;c
of this illustration by this boastel
'journal of civilization.
The same journal, as we learn from
New York contemporary, has most
malignant attack upon Mr.. Davis,
the two-fold object of which is to
arouse tho feelings of the North
against President johnson and Mr..
Davis. We must add, upon authority
which it knows to be reliable, that
the assertions and insinuations of the
Weekly, both pictorial and written,
are simply false.
These hounds of the press, who
thus seek to keep estranged and ON
bittered the people of these States,
in the two sections of the Union,
ought to be driven out of the coun-
try, Or else immured in dungeons,
where they could not ply their nefa-
r1ous and reasonable vocation of
running our common country. Book
sellers are culpable for offering these
sheets for sale, and they should be
Stunned as leprous mediums, bearing
on their pages contagion more
deadly than the virus of the most
