4 TOUGH COTTON CASE.

The State of Mississippi. early IN the

he pledged to the State for the re- imburse-

or Was required, whenever the present

States shall be removed, to issue his pro-
clamaiion calling upon all persons who had
received such advances TO deliver within
ninety DAYS The number al bales nf cotton

ved an excessively dear one. In addition to

DESTRUCTIVE FIRE.

The City of Portland, Main, has paid a
heavy price for its fourth of July celebra-
ton. On that day fire broke out in the
city, caused, it is presumed, by the explosion
of fireworks, which in point of destruc-
tiveuess exceeds even SHERMAN's confa-
grations of Southern cities. Over t,co
thousand houses are reported in ashes,
including the wealthiest and most beautiful
portion of this unfortunate city; and prop.
erty to the amount of S10, 100000 destroyed
by single dash of the devouring ele'
ment. In our sympathy with the houselesS
sufferers by this accident, We should en-
deavor to forget that it falls upon spot
from whence for three years rang the brutal
CRY of "burn Charleston. We have
suffered enough to miDgle forgiveness and
sympathy, with even regrets, at such a mis-
fortune to any people. The houseless
refugees of. Portland have been taught 6
severe lesson in adversely. We pity them
in all sincerity, and can hereafter claim
them as safe witnesses of those emotions
that ought to rankle in the hearts of the
burnt and plundered Southerpers.

THE NEW TAHITI.

Congress has passed tariff bill at which
even the unscrupulous MoRRILL-hither-
to the champion in that particular species
of !egislation-is said to be diSpleased,
because too operous. Nothing is known of
its specific provisions thus far, except that
it imposes an average duty of fifty per cent
on all imports. The lowest class of duties
are twenty five, and the highest taoo hundred
per cent. The iron and cotton manufactu.
ring interests of Pennsylvania and New
England are of course covered by ample
projections in this bill The President
holds, however, the sword of terror over the
authors of all such baulky legislation, and
the Radicals firmly believe in advance Of
assertions to that effect, that he will spoil
their we'll laid scheme, by another impolite
veto. Such is the on dit.

GENERAL sIcKLEs' ORDER.

Our people will rejoice with us that mil
itary trials in this State have at last been
dispensed with. This hope was inspired
some months age by the publication Of the
Presidents peace Proclamation, but that
instrument seems to have exercised no con.
troll over the opinion Of Military Comman-
ders, who are law unto themselves.
We call attention to the correspondence
between Gov. Orr, and General SIcKLEs,
published in another column, and also the
Proclamation and General Order accompa.
nying it. The negroes it would SEEM from
these documents, are now the only class of
people over which these iron.clad courts
claim any jurisdiction. They are welcome
to the boon.

time of peace The other taxes have been
shown to be sufficient for all purposes.
1t is estimated by the Treasury De.
partment that the income of the Govern.
ment from all sources for the fiscal year
which ended Saturday, June 80, will reach
the enormous sum of five hundred and Fifty
millions of dollars. Of this three hundred
and fifteen millions are derived from tie
internal revenue and two hundred and thir-
ty.Gve millions from other sources. One
hundred and seventy millions came from
customs. Five or six years ago, just previ'
ous to the war, the total income of the Gov
ernment, and consequently the expendl-
lures, did not reach one-seventh or one
eighth of this sum. Sixty or seventy mil
lions year was considered then large
revenue. The total expense Of the Govern.
ment up to the 30th ultimo, was three hun.
dred and thirty.nine million nine hundred
and ninety,fve thousand six hundred and
thirty.four dollars.

General Jail Delivery.

On Friday last, the prisoners confined in
the Jail at this place, succeeded in cutting
their way through a couple of thin partition
walls, and effecting their escape. There
were only three persons confined in the Jail
at the time. One charged with burglary,
another with horse stealing, and third with
petit larceny. Appropriate rewards have
been offered, by the Sheriff and Jailor for
the recovery of the fugitives.
The unsafe condition Of the Jail building
at this place has, We believe, frequently
been the subject of presentment by the
Grand Jury, but no effective action has been
taken thus far, to render it more seoure.-
Prisoners we believe 90 out-in one instance
especially-aud enjoy freedom until tired
of it, and then return to the Jail. 1t seems
sort of pastime with them.

COTTON TAX.

The two Houses Of Congress having failed
to agree upon that clause of the tax bill
referring to the duty on cotton, Commit
tee of conference was called to settle the
matter. The Committee compromised upon
a tax Of three cents per pound-the two
Houses accepting the report. The bill now
goes to the President for approval, and it is
asserted, will receive his signature. So
this matter, so interesting to cotton growers,
is at rest.

ANOTHER SCHEME FOB TRoUBLE.-The
radicals in Congress appear to be rushing
headlong into all sorts of schemes, not
knowing nor caring what will be the result.
Last week Mr.. Banks introduced Bill in
the House of Representatives establishing
conditions by which the States of Nova
Scotia, New Brunswick, Canada East and
West, and the territories of Columbia, Sell
kirk and Saskotohum could be annexed to
the United States. As reimbursement for
these provinces 70 annex themselves to the
United States the bill proposes to pay the
debt of each, which amounts in the aggre.
gate to $5O,O0O,OOO, besides pledging the
United States to pay the Hundson Bay
Company sl0,000,000 for certain posses
sions. ... -

THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY.

TdE DEMOChAIlC PANTY.
The signs of the times indicate fusion
of parties of all shades, to beat the radicals
in the next Congressional and Presidential
elections Wings, Democrats, and Conser-
vatives will probably all be driven in a
single team in the coming race. The old
Democratic party, about which hangs some
glory, land many bright historical names, will
probably go under forever, in this new
amalgamation. 1t stands out in stout
denial of such an issue but its days are
surely numbered, and its deeds in the past.
The moment it consented to the call for a
National Convention at Philadelphia, sealed
its death warrant as a party. The new
organization will sweep in all its adherents,
and leave it a mere shadow on the wall,
existing in name only. The leaders Of the
party have endorsed this call for the Phila.
delphia Convention, and have committed it
to the result. -.. -...
