= The Reconstruction Committee

The Reconstruction COMMITTEES is
now fully organized. 1t has been divided
into four sub. committees, each of these
having an assignment of particular States
Witnesses have been summoned from all
quarters and of every shade of politics-oi
people who have travelled through the South,
and of people who reside in the South; Of
people who believe in hasty reconstruction
and of people who don't-so that the COM
,mittees will in possession of the very
fullest information. The sub-committees
will make separate reports to Congress, and
there will, in addition, be consolidated re-
ports from the general committee.
The report of the Georgia Oommls-
sion to prepare system of laws for the gov
ernment of freedmen has been made. II
provides that all persons of color shall have
the right to acquire property, make con-
tracts, sue and be sued, inherit property,
and give testimony in all civil cases when
the rights of colored persons are involved,
and in all criminal cases when the accused
is person of color. The report recon-
mends the organization in each county of a
County Judge, in which precisely the same
redress will be afforded the negro as is af'
forded the white man. The Governor, II
recommending this report, says: "Whils
we insist upon occupying, in relation to the
freedmen, the position of the governing
class, let Us fully and fairly meetits respon
sibilities."

sympathized with, or aided the rebellion
(so-oalled) will, it is thought, become a
law.
Another "split" in the cabinet has been
announced, but the fssure described exists
probably in the brains of some sensation
local instead of the Cabinet. The report
is to the effect that SEWARD, McCUILooH
and WELLS support the Presidents policy,
while the other members of the cabinet
have gone over to the Radicals.
Resolutions for the trial of DAVIS and
others still crowd upon the House; trial by
Courts martial, civil Courts, Supreme Court,
Military Commission, and some for exeou-
ton without trial, embraces their general
tenor. Even THAD STEVENS has become
ashamed of this monstrous hue and cry, and
thinks there has been "enough" of it.

FROM HILTON HEAD.

A gentleman formerly refugeeing in this
town, having recently returned to his
home near Hilton Head, S. c., writes as
follows upon affairs there:
"Many planters have returned and are
trying to secure labor and provisions for
planting crop, but the difficulties in the
way are very great. The Freedmen are
very much demoralized great many say
they will not work for q white man again,
under any circumstances Many have been
allotted small piece of land on the Islands,
and although they have consumed all the
provisions they raised last season, will not
contract, and many are suffering for food.
Major De Lany (colored) Assistant CON-
missioner of Freedman's Bureau, at Hilton
Head, seems disposed to assist the planter
as far as he can, but the job is too big for
one man.
An important order has just been issued,
allowing Commissarys of Subsistence to
issue rstions to the planter for bis laborers,
he giving lien upon bis crop. This will
give many start who could otherwise do
nothing
On the Islands, the Yankees who have
attempted the cultivation of Sea Island
Cotton, have done badly, and some say they
have lost heavily. They are now employ
ing Southern men to oversee for them.
If can get one, will send you copy
of the terms offered the Freedmen here,
and by which most of the planters are secur-
ing their labor. The main points are, that

THE VIRGINIA BONE TRADE


An item in recent Virginia exchange,
notices the fact that two hundred tons of
bones have recently been shipped from Fred.
ericksburg to Northern city, for the man.
ufaoture of manures, phesphates, &C., for
agricultural purposes. Other statements
indicate that the bone trade about Peters.
burg is in an equally prosperous condition,
and yielding handsome profit to those en-
gagged init. All this is given with naiuete
that would be astonishing, in any other age
or country than the one that the present
generation of blessed humanity enjoys.
1t must not be understood that these car
goes consist entirely of human bones, but
bones of all classes of animals that usually
whiten the fields where great battles have
occurred. Into these collections many of
the graveless skeletons of the forgotten
dead are gathered, and the thrifty Yankee
(surely Virginians don't do the like) tum-
bles them from his ship by the dray load,
into some manufacturing establishment
Next comes flaming advertisement of high

TAX ON COTTON.

Inc lnteillgence Irom Wasnln Seon tnls
week, brings the Report of the Revenue
Commissioners recommending tax of five
cents per pound on cotton. This Report
need create no surprise. 1t is in fact, but
another of those measures emptied from the
radical budget, that have been long digesting
for this hapless people. The South has not
looked for it in vain. 1t has come at last,
with stretch of power and an audacity of
porpose, we'll calculated to stagger the hopes
of those that expected equality in the Union,
under the Republican regime.
The blow aimed, if given as directed,
may prove too heavy to effect its object
The blast may prove too powerful, and scat.
ter the atoms it WAS only intended to crush
The attention of agriculture, will either be
diverted to other objects, or discouraged
and hopeless, its efforts become paralyzed I'M.
der the stroke. The people of the South
may we'll abandon the frail tenure of hope
that has supported them under such an &C.
oumulation of adversely. The country
looked to cotton as its last great hope by
which it's ruin might be eventually repair.
ed, its staggering credit restored, its wasted
homesteads, blackened chimueys and vacant
cities again respond to the life touch of in
dustry and plenty. That promise which
many held in hopeful trust, as the counter
balance of so many woes, is on the verge of
extinction. The cotton grower cannot ex-
pect to hire uncertain labor at high rates
for its production, pay twenty-five per. cent
of its value in taxes, in addition to the other
indications he must undergo, and expect
remuneration. He is forced either to fruit
less labor, or an abandonment of the effort.
We hope the Report may not receive the
sanction of Congress-. That body has, how
ever, given but narrow margin upon which
to ground such hopes, but We cannot be.
lieve it will inaugurate measure that If
persisted in, will eventually create desert
worse than the flaming sands of Africa or
Hindostan. The South is staggering under
toe pressure of taxation already. Wasted
and ruined, it came out of the war without
currency, credit, or market for its stinted
resources. 1t cannot, with all the accumu.
lated crops on hand, meet the present in
ternal revenue tax. Add twenty-five per
cent. to it, and the tax will exceed all that
the productive capacity of the country can
meet.
Notwithstanding this unfrieudly legiSla-
tion, the effort to raise cotton will still be
made. Its success will be entirely speou-
lative, but the present probabilities are that
the meagre earnings of the planter, after
paying his labor-hire, taxes, shipments, &C.,
will not reimburse the actual outlay re.
quired to produce it. He cannot expect
cotton to command higher prices, or even
as high as now. Various questions will
come in to affect the prices. The reduc-
tion of the currency-the increased supply
of foreign ootton-the woollen and linen
products rising in competition, will all tend
to diminish PTtCCs'
