The business OF each six months should

The particular manner In which the
capital OF q bank Is invested, does not
afieet the taxation Of the same. Bank
ing capital invested in real estate or
otherwise, should be inserted IN the

should be paid thereon.
In determining the net profits Of 3 ma

A national bank cannot pass the I stes
of 8 state bank into the hands Of q brO-
ker, without thus becoming liable to the
tax Of ten per cent. imposed by section
6 Of the act of March 3, 1865, as aHendeT
by the act Of July Is, 1866. The fact
that the broker forwards the notes for
redemption, does not affect the liability
Of the bank ; the act Of passing the
notes into the hands Of the broker is
paying them out.
The monthly tax Of M twenty-fourth

paid upon the chartered capital OF 3

of deposits held during the month. To

LAWRENCE & ST. JoHN.-In times
like these the largest banking institG-
tons are occasionally suceumbing to the
inevitable result Of speculstion-this
firm has always maintained its proper
status. From our intimate acquaintance
with the members Of this firm, we do
most cheerfully indorse them as gentle
men of sterling integrity, who eonfne
themselves to their Legitimate business,
and have passed successfully through the
temptations for speculation of the last
few years. Those who entrust any bust
ness to them in their line, may depend
on its being attended to well and faith
fully.

ten BY those who nerer should forge
them. Passing over this famous battle
ground we reached the Chieamaagi
river at Lee & Gordons' mill, and crosset
in a batteau, where We engaged an old
dllapidated wagon and rode ten miles
reaching another crossing, the "Stream
of Death,n by ten O'Clock that night
and within three-qua1ters of q mile Of
RinggoId. Here we found the batteau
locked, and as the rain was pouring down
in torrents, and the Chicamauga rushing
by like a cascade, we did not know
whether to o the stream or take the
bath which we were getting free gratis
for nothing. Finally concluding TO cross,
we woke up the ferryman, who refused to
cross us on account Of fear. We, how
ever, Shermanized him and reached
Ringgold In safety, and, after searching
some half hour for the hotel, found ii
was none Of the best. Next morning
we again harnesssd up and foot-backea
it to Dalton, where we put up at the
Tibbs house, one Of the poorest hotels in
America, the landlord having evidently
mistaken his calling. Here we took the
cars and each of us went IN our way re-
joieing. Arriving at Augusta, Ga, the
writer put up at HeWitts Globe hotel,
one of the best houses in the country.
It was truly a treat to enjoy the hospi-
taIity of such hosts as Mr.. Hewitt
and his son, who are both gentlemen of
large experience, and who leave nothing
undoRe 10 make their house all that IL
should BET home for travellers" In
fact, they understand their business, and
spare neither pains nor expense TO make
all around them comfortable and at
home. A few days afterward we found
ourselves in presence of Col. Campbell
Wallace, formerly of Tennessee and
now superintendent of the Western and
Atlantic railroad of Georgia, one Of the
nobIest gentlemen of Gods creation.
Since he has had charge of the road it
has made wonderful stridesin prosperity,
and Col. Campbell has made a host of
friends for himself and his railway.
Nothing better can be said to his credit
trun that the trains on his road were
the first to run through after the food.
on r~e-reaching Chattanooga we found
things toward Memphis in rather bad
condition, on account of the Nashville
and Chattanooga railroad having failed
to complete the breaks which the flood
had created. The town was full
of people, but the Nashville
folks did not have energy
enough even to charter a steamer to
transport passengers to Bridgeport. This
work was left to Mr.. John B. Weaver,
agent of the Memphis and Charleston
railroad, who employed the steamer
Mary Byrd, and made arrangements to
transport his passengers from Chatta-
nooga to Decatur, a relief much needed,
as many of the people who had through
tickets were nearly empty pocket.n
All the through freights and mails came
by this way also.
We cannot finish without a word Of
commentator to the splendid eating
of Messrs. Holden & King, Of the
Donagan house, Huntsville, which is
truly one of the best in this section.

The weather which, for the past two
days has been pleasant, has not been
without its effect in our city trade. Our
merchants feel assured that when our
roads become passable and the waters
reeede, trade will revive and make up,
by increased activity, for the dull times
we have just gone through. We think
that their expectations will be realized,
believing that their hopes are based
upon good foundations. Nothwithstand-
ing the limited area Of country which
has not been damaged by the recent
fresAets, the demand for produce is very
fair, and when the waters which now
cover so many hundreds Of plantations
subside so as to permit planters to come
to the city to purchase, we look for an
active trade in everything needed upon
the farm. Our merchants are well sup
piled with stocks, and are prepared to
commence this spring campaign with
renewed vigor.

few transactions. Holders are not dis

weather and business.

The day just gone was one of much
beauty, compared with those we have
had for nearly a month back. The sun
shone pleasantly all day.
Business was not brisk yesterday, al
though it should have been one Of our
active days upon the landing. There are
so few local packets running, owing to
the high water, that Saturdays are like
all other week days.
The river here remains stationary. At
all points above, both on the Mississippi,
Ohio and Cumberland, our dispatches
proclaim them falling rapidly. It will,
we think, commence to fall here to-day,
and once it takes a downward course,
we look for a rapid decline.
