WASHINGTON, Dec. q.
Direct Taxes in the south.
Some time since the law providing for the
collection Of the direct taxes in the insurrec-
tionary States was suspended by Congress gnul
the lst Of January, 1868, and the Tax Commis-
sioners in those States we're recalled and dis
charged. According to Law, the collection
should be resumed on the 1st pro ximo, aud
numerous applications have been already re-
ceived by Secretary McCuloch for ap.
pointments as Commissioners, bat in view
of the general poverty prevailing throughout
the South and the Inability of the people to pay
the tax, remoDstrances asking for the further
suspension having been received from inhu-
ential parties there, the Secretary submitted the
propriety OF further suspension to the House
Committee OF WAYS and Means, but CONGRESS
adjourned before the Committee took any action
upon the matter. Secretary McCutloch has re-
Trained from making any new appointments of
Commissioners under these circumstances and
will wait until Congress assemblies before taking
any further proceedings.

miles from Paso del Norte, on the road to La
Mesllla. He had been shot from behind, the
