HAsHINGToE, D. C., Feb. ). iS66.-The Secretary of
the Treasury has issued the following order;
TREASURY DEPARTMENT, Feb. . 1856.
On September L. 1865, au order was issued by this
Department, under the power conferred by section
46 of the Internal Revenue Act of June 80 1864 di-
recting that articles manufactured in the States lately
IN inSurrecton prior to the establishment Of cOllec
ton districts therein, but retained in possession of
the manufacturer until after such establishment and
thus made liable to the current rates of taxation
should be held free from present assessment until
transported beyond the limits of the aforementioned
States, and should then be subjected only to the tax
due Mt the time of their manufacture.
The reasons for this exemption stated briefly
at the time OF irS allowance. 1t induced by the
fact that manufacturers han ii ignorance Of the law
retained large quantities Of their products Ia their
own hand and By the supposed additional fact that
much of the property retained had greatly de-
Perforated in value. Abundant opportunity having
now been given for the disposal of the manufactures
there 10 good reason for continuing privilege in
consistent with tho gehsra provisions of the law ad
verse TO the interest Of Northern manufactures and
susceptible experience has shogn OF very great
abuse.
1t is therefore hereby ordered that on and after
March lst. 1866, all Southern manufactures in pos
session OF the manufacturer shall be held subject 10
the present rate OF duty. No exception being made
in any case on account of the date Of manufacture

The Sth section of an act approved An

II VIII appear from. this act, that Mis-
slsslppi owes to the United States Govern
ment the above mentioned sum auuuoIy,, f.r
the years '62 '6as 64 and '65.
But this IS not the fact; and the true
state of the case is simply as follows:
Tho tax, as above, was collected from ali
states within the Federal lines for the voo1
1862 4; each paying its pro rata share
He'o act tcaS then passed, stopping all further
collections of said tax until after the wear
1865; by which time it was supposad the
tax could be collected in all The S+a+os
Thus it will be seen, that the tax has bear
due and collected for oaIg one acG, ~ t5e

qua Deihg collected from the South; instead
of four years as most of our peonIe bava
supposed When the tax. now baino ool- |
ieeted IN this State for 1868, is paid. All ou,
liabilities to the United States Government |
on direct tax will be cancelled in fnIl o,d
the probability is that the act itself will he
repealed before the tax for 1866 becomes
due
