THE TAX on CoTToN.-The proposed
five cent tax on cotton is meeting with
some strong opposition. Among the
remonstrances from the South is one
from twenty ex-Union officers, who are
working plantationsin Central Alabama.
They say there are at least FIVE thou
sand ex.soldiers Of our army growing
cotton in that State; that their presence
has encouraged Southern men to resume
work; that the new enterprise of cult
waiting cotton by free labor has been
successful accordingly as Northern men
have more or less engaged in it, in any
community; that the cotton cannot be
got to market for less than twelve cents
per pound; that the addition Of five
cents tax with the insurance; the COM
missions, &c, will increase the cost of
production to such sn extent that no
man can afford to raise it; and that all
Northern nieil have concluded if the
tax is imposed, to abandon the business
and return North.

asthma in the most distressing form for some
