From Washington.

WASHINGTON, July 5-The committee Of
conference on the tax bill recommend the
fixing of tax on cotton at three cents per
pond, and giving railroads and gas COM
panies, the right to add to their rates tax
until the Both of April, 1867. They agree
to leave the income tax unchanged, the ex-
emption OF 5000 being retained.
1t is understood that the Southern repre-
sentation will soon issue an address to the
people of the South recommending the selec-
tion of delegates to the Philadelphia con-
vention. They regard it as highly impor-
tant that the South shall cooperate in that
movement, especially as it is understood that
the convention is only for the restoration of
the South to the Union, and not for any
partvpurpose.

CoTToN BLooMs.-Mr. N. V. Denton has
shown the Editor of the Progress bloom,
whcih he found in his fields on the 1st inst,
Mr.. N. S. Harp has also exhibited us a bloom,
which most probably appeared on the
1st. Mr.. Howell of Wake was but a few
hours, behind, and we have seen Others
indicating the condition of the cotton crop
in this County.
We were shown on the Sd, good sized
6oU not a form, taken from the cotton fields
on the farm of Mr.. Bledsoe near Raleigh
This goes bowshot beyond any of the
exhibition at Cowper s. Jones in this City.

The Sentinel of the 9th, contains column
of characteristic misrepresentation of Gov.
Holden, basing its article upon an extract
from the Washington dispatches to the N.
Y. Herald, prepared by an unknown, ire
sponsible party in that City.
The principal recommendation of such an
infamous article is its falsity. It is kind
of fanciful blackguardism, generated in
small brain-pans whose organs. of truth and
decency are poorly developed. The Sentinel
rivals the State Journal, ofposthumous fame;
in this species of literature.
The weekly North-Carolina standard. [volume] (Raleigh, N.C.) 186?-1869, 1866-07-11

The Sentinel declares for " the Constitution
of the United States as it is, and the Union
as it was-no further amendments" Is there
any issue upon the Constitution? Does the
Sentinel, or any other secessionist, suppose
that the noble "straitest sect men " OF the
South have ever objected to "the Constitu-
ton as it is and the Union as it was" They
never desired to leave the Union or to JOIN
the attempt to destroy the Constitution.
They were always for the Union in prefer
ence to the Confederacy, and they are for it
now. Can the Sentinel say as much for its
friends Evidently it is stealing " straitest
sect" thunder.
The Sentinel also declares against further
amendments Is there any issue on this
point? Have the amendments been submit
ted to the people of this State, or are they
likely to be? Can there be any issue,
where there is no question as to the adoption
or rejection of the amendments?
But suppose these amendments are adop-
ted, what will you and your friends do, Mr..
Sentiasle Submit or resist? How far does
YOUR opposition to further amendments
extend9 If they are adopted, are yor pre-
pared to recolmionize again. Define your
opposition to further amendments" We
desire to know how far you are prepared to
go. And state also in your reply, how far
Gov. Worth is prepared to go with you.
Does he favor reuolutiOn in the event of the
adoption of further amendments" or will
he submit2 Let the people know. There
is no issue in the South upon the adoption
or rejection of the amendments, because they
have not been submitted to us. But issue or
no issue, you oppose them. How far does
your opposition extend, and how far does
Gov. Worth's opposition extend 2 To the
point of actual resistanee9 Do you intend
to force that issue upon us? Let the Sentinel
answer

WISHES TO RETURN.-A telegram from
Washington says that letter had been re-
ceived there from Maj. Gen. j. B. Magruder,
late of the Confederate army, asking friend
to intercede with the United States Govern
ment in his behalf
Writing from the city of Mexico, General
Magruder says 81 want permission to re-
turn'to the United States. The Imperial
Government has gone to hill, and has no
money, and we have to get away from here.
Many have already left. Price, myself and a
few others remain, but we must look out for
aplace to go to. There is no hope for any
thing more here.n

SILK CULTURE.-The San Francisco (Cal)
Bulletin remarks:
Our readers scarcely need be told that
recent attempts at silk culture in California
have been uniformly successful. The climate
is all that could be desired for the purpose;
the soil is admirably adapted to the growth
of the mulberry tree; Chinese labor, which
is exactly adapted to that business, is abun-
dant and cheap, and it is by no means i'm
probable that our State may become the
Itlay or France of the United States, in
point of silk culture as well as the cultiva-
ton of the vine, and the manufacture Of
some of the best wines in the world.
