them were included in the offer. consult

Intefemfug to Farmers Regard
Ing Internal Revenue Tax De-
clstOuaa.

The following very important decisions
have recently been given BY the Commis
sioner Of Internal Revenue at Washington
l. Farmers will net be required to make
return of produce consumed in their own
immediate families
9 The farmers profits from sales of live
stock are to be found from deducting the
gross receipts for animals sold the purchase
money paid for the same. II animals have
been lost during the year by death or rob
berry, the purchase money paid for such an
imals may be deducted from the gross in
come of the farm.
8. No deductions can he made by the
farmer for the value of services rendered bv
his minor children, whether he actually
pays for such services or not. If adult
children work for him and receive compen.
sation for their labor. they are to be regard.
ed as other hired laborers in determining
his income
4. Money paid for labor, except such q,
is used or employed in domestic service. oi
in the prodnc,ion of articles consumed in
the family ofthe producer. NAV be deducted.
5. No deduction can be allowed in anv
case for the cost of unproductive labor IL
house servants are employed portion OF
the time iu productive labor. such as the
making of butter and cheese for sale, pro-
portionate amount of the wages paid them
may he deducted.
6. Expenses for ditchinp and clearing new
land are plainly expenses for permanent i'm
provement. and not deducted.
7. The whole amount expended for fer,
tilizcrs applied during the year to the
farmers land NAV he deducted, but no de-
duction is allowed for fertilizers produced on
the farm. The cost of seed purchased for
sowing and planting may be deducIed.
s If n person sells timber standing, the
profits are to be obtained by estimating the
value Of the land after the removal Of the
timber. and from the sum thus obtained de-
ductine the estimated value Of land on the
lst day of January, 1862. or on the day Of
purchase, If purchased since that date.
s Where repairs have heen made by the
tax payer upon anv bnild nR owned hy him
during the preceding five years, nothing car
be deducted for rersirs made during the
year for which his income is estimated.
TO- A farmer shoula make returns of hi:
produce sold within the year, but mere ex
ecn,ioparr contract for sale is not sale; de
livery. either active or constructive, is es
sentisl. The criterion hy which to jndge
whether sale is complete or not is to de
termine whether the vendor still retains IN
fiat character right over the property; II
the property were Inst or destroyed, unon
which parties. in the absence of snv othr
relation between them than that OF the ven
dor and the vendee, would the loss fall.

a Righteous Judge.

Nothing gives us greater pleasure than to
read and Commend such excellent senti.
ments as those contained in the following
extract, and which occasionally uttered By
leading men at the South. They give hope
of the cemiDg Of brighter day, when those
who now persscute the helpless, ignorant
and poor. will enroll themselves among their
friends, and we shall have the spectacle of a
whole nation, North and South, actisg justly
and righteously toward the despised and
weak.
The extract below is from obatge re.
Gently delivered to the Grand Jury of Hen
rico County, tRichmosdI Virginia, by Judge
Christian, of the Circuit court.
And now having instructed you to present
all ofenses committed by freedmen within
the jurisdiction Of this court. | should be
recreant to my plainest duty and the high
responsibilities Of my position il l failed to

TO present all offenses committed against

these people are now clothed by our laws
and Constitution with certain civil and per.
ing the laws Of the country. are bound to
recognize and respect. And while we hold
them amenable to our laws, we must at
the same time afford to them the protection
of the laws in all the rights of person and
property which have been conferred upon
them. They have become free without any
agency of their own. During the long and
bloody struggle through which We nassed,
the remarkable spectacle was exhibited,
without parallel in history. of servile
race, in many sections largely outBumber.
ing the dominant race, not only passive
spectators of the mighty struggle, in which
they we're taught to believe their liberties
were involved, but in many inst, noes exhib-
iting a singular fidelity to the master, so
that the wife and the daughter, the mother
and sister Of the Confederate soldier were
often left to the care and protection Of the
faithful slave. We must all admit that the
horrors Of the recent war, full of horror and
crime as it was. full Of deeds of dark and
damning atrocity and outrage upon humani-
ty and civilization. would have increased
thousand fold if the fires of insurrectian had
been lighted up throughout our land. and
the brutal passions Of servile race let loose
upon the weak and helpless. But nowhere
did the docile and faithful slave lift his hand
against his master, but remained passive
spectator to the end of The great struggle,
and only accepted freedom when it was
forced upon him. Having thus become free
without any agency of their own, but by the
inevitable logic Of events, they strongly ap.
peal to us, the dominant race, to US, their
former masters. for protection in all the
rights which their new condition has con.
ferred upon them. Let us cheerfuly and
heartily accord to them that protection in
all their civil and personal rights.

The Cotton Market.

In our market, and elsewhere, cotton
seems about to reach the low figure of
few weeks since, when the finest samples
could not command oyer 25 cents. Under
the influence of steady decline at Liver
pool, quotations have now been gradually
reduced to 26@27, the latter being the
outside figure to-day.
1t is perhaps, however, a mere question
of time, and holders certainly seem to be of
that opinion, as they persistently refuse all
offers at the present low rates. There can
be no opinion on any subject more strongly
entertained than the prevailing one in this
section that cotton must 60 up to SOC before
the new crop comes in. Whatever may be
the foundation for such an opinion, it is
certainly a firmly established one in the
minds of holders, which no fluctuations,
however great, seem to materially affect.
To this more than to any other cause
v be ascribed the present dullness and
ivity Of the market. There are plenty
yers, and eager ones at that, but while
is quoted here at 26927 (if, indeed,
otations be more than merely noml-
10 sales of any magnitude will be
~ unless under the pressure Of actual
essity. Holders are determined to wait
higher prices-buyers believe in the
spect of a future advance and naturally
the widest possible margin of profits

buyers differ, and that is, as cor
we can express it, the exact con-

EFFECT OF THE EXPLOSION.

So great was the force of the explosion
that all the forward part of the cabins, the
texas and pilot house were hurled into the
river, SCATTERING the after cabins almost into
splinters. Many persons above and below
were swept into eternity, and two-thirds of
all on the lower deck were blown into the
water, scaded and killed. The two pilots,
Frank Derdue and Geo. Brtton, and the
steersman, Geo. Hanger, who were in the
pilot house at the time, were killed and
blown into the river.
