Imnortsnt to U, 8. Tax Payers.

The Jackson NEws publishes an important notice
from the U. s. Treasury agents, in which all iand
owners are especially Interested. This notice bears
date JAN {? 1866 and sixty days from that date are
allowed for payment If the taxes assessed on land
are not paid within the sixty days the land be-
comes forfeited to the United States, and by the
terms Of an act of Congress every person who was
rot loyal" forever loses his right to such land
upon its being thus forfeited. Loyal" persons
ere permitted to redeem within certain time.
But question may arise ss to the time when
person must have been loyal. If II be held to re-
late 10 the date of the act of Congress very large
rrnher Of our people would find it difficult to make
the proof. As a matter Of precaution, each land
owner should be careful to pay up within the time
limited and thus avoid the expenses as well as the
dangers incurred by forfeiture The notice which
We publish says the NEWS, ia directed to land own
,r, in HNps cauaty, but like proceedings will, no
douht. be taken in every county in the State very
soon, and the peopls should prepare to meet the
emergency.
Tho tax ia to be laid on the value of oil lands

dwelling houscsn at the rate each OF them was
worth IN money OH lue lis' u"y " - Pa N''-' $3.50
dino regard liz to be bad to State assessments at any
,eriod nearest that date. The whole debt to be
maid bv the land owners of the State is four humid
rad and thirteen thousand. eighty-fonr and two
third dollars and our readers will understand that
this sum IN apnortioned among the land owners ac'
cordipg TO the value of their lands at that date
each land owner being required to pay his proper
tlonate share, so that the aggregate payments Oh
all Of the land owners in the State shall make up
that sum. In making the apportionment, LANDS ex-
empted from taxation by State laws, occupied by
the owner. as residence, Of value not exceeding
five hundred dollars, are not taken into the estl'
mate, nor liable to the tax It is 10 be understood
we presume, that such exempted tract is all the
land he owned. Such is the provision OF the 18Th
section Of the act of 1861 and we are not aware
that it has been changed but 1t may have been
and, therefore every land owner should look to
the matter and be sure to protect his interests
however small the vaae Of his land may be.
II seems hard to compel the owner to pay on the
valuation of 1862, where the Government has by
its own act, greatly impaired the value' But there
f., so far al we knew, present relief to be mao
and the taxes mist be paid.
OF course, due notice will be given to the people
OF Madison when this tax will be required OF them
