HE NEW lNTERaAL REVENUE LAw.--We
publish below an extract from the amen6atory
Internal Revenue Bill. which has just been re.
ported to Congress by the Committee Of Ways
and Means. To US :he most important feature
OF the bill. IS the proposed increase of the tag
upon cotton from two to i've cents per pound
which lie fair sample of that unjust disorim-
nation against Southern industry, which has
so long characterized the action of the General
Government. To the people of the North
the cotton tax is the most popular provision
of the bill. as they hence anticipate an I'M
mense revenue to the government. Cotton is
still King, and we see it estimated that since
the close of the war, the Southern States have
contributed from this source 70 tho markets of
the world, three hundred millions in gold. for
the relief Of the national credit, tho national
currency, and the Federal tax PAYERS of the
Union. An amount equally largo is so.ioipa-
ted from the present crop and upon this mag.

WITHDRAWAL OF THE TRoops FROM Mexico.
The correspondence of Mr.. Seward and
Count Monthoion, the French minister, recent
~ submitted to Congress, announce the adhe-
non OF the French Government to the Ameri-
can principle of non-intervention. and the en-
gageRent of the Emperor Napoleon, to with
draw his troops in three detachments; one in
November next, and the others in May and
November, 1857. There seems to be no reason
to doubt the good faith of these promises, The
French Emperor has been forced to give over
his political aspirations in this quarter and to
fall back upon bis Mexican indemnities--to
OBTAIN which wac the avowod pretext of the
