that paper is one of the best materials for

Internal Revenue Law I'm Relation to
DIStIlIerIeA.


NEW YORK, Nov. Alt is stated by
some of the leading officers of the Inter-
nal Revenue Department of this city,
that the new law in relation to distil-
leries, which went into operation on the
LIST of September, has failed to prevent
the frauds in the manufacture of whis-
ky for which it was enacted, Liquor
can still be obtained at less than the
cost of the duty imposed on it, and this
fact conclusiVely proves that no tax has
been paid upon 1t. One of the leading
sections of the new law provides thai
an inspector shall be placed in charge
of each distilllery, day and night, and
that locks ofintricate construction shall
be placed on the doors of each. Only a
few inspectors have been appointed,
but it Is believed that all the positions
will be filled by December. Some OF
the Federal locks, designed for
the distilleries, have been received
in this city by the Revenue Inspector,
and the remainder will be here next
week. They are now being placed on
the doors of buildings devoted to the
manufacture of whisky.
The Montgomery, Ala, Advertiser
says in regard to the scarcity ofmoney:
This state of affairs may be ascribed to
several causes. It is true that cotton
has for some time past been moving to
market in small quantities and readily
sou dG prevailing prlceS1 DuL most OF the
money from this source has been
sent out of the State to meet advances
made early in the season for imple-
ments, animals, provisions, &C., or has
been boarded up by the cautious and
proyident for future and more pressing
necessities. We know at least, that in
stead of an increase of circulation, the
scarcity of money seems to be greater
than ever, Notwithstanding these sales
of cotton. GH
The Richmond Examiner says of the
tobacco crop: In some of the counties
labor has been uncertain and made
quate, yet even in those counties the
crop will be better than was supposed,
but in Pittsy1vania, Henry county, and
in the adjacent counties OF North Caro-
lima, the Drop is excellent, both in quail
ity and quantity. The examiner esti-
mates the entire crop Of Virginia al
two-thirds of 1860.

receipts to fall after December, and
higher prices to rule. III
