To THE CoTToN PLANTERS OF NORTH
CARoIINA-From the commission merchants
of Petersburg, and the proper officials, we have
derived the following information, which, if
used, will be for the benefit of both planter and
factor:
The main point which should be known is that
under permit they can ship Or remove cotton
without any prepayment Of tax. This privilege
has been allowed under regulations. Persons
desiring to ship cotton can get Form 100, which
must be used from the assessor or his assistant,
and ship to the collector in the market to which
they desire to send it. The collector will de-
liver it to the commission merchant, who may
be designated BY the firm. The producer may
send If soon as it is ready, without paying the
tax in his district.
The advantage of this arrangement is that if
it is not desired at once to sell the cotton it may
be stored, to take advantage of the market The
assessor has no right to refuse the permit, and
should be reported if he does. If you prefer to
prepay the tax you can do so. If not, do as adj
vised above-Petcrsb,ag Inder

WASHINGTON, Nov. 1.-The Cabinet held a
prolonged session to-day. All the Departments
were represented.
John Minor Bolts is here, and is respondent
about Virginia.
A radical member of Congress now here has
already prepared bill providing for national suf
frage by act of Congress. 1t differs in material
respects from similar bills presented by Mr. Sum-
ner last session, and confines the suffrage to cleo
tions for national officials
Letters are being received from negroes in the
South saying they are all in fear of the whites,
and urging that they be allowed to form colored
militia companies.
If such permission is granted, the whites will
have to organize also in self Defence

THE FENIANs.-Ths strange organization
seems to be giving the English people good
deal of trouble A few weeks ago they rescued
two prisoners from the hands of the police, and
in one or two instances men have been found
murdered under circumstances which Indicate
that they were the objects of the vengeance of
the secret order. All this has, of course, caused
commoticn in people SO pre-eminently the
friends of law and order as the English. A good
deal of fuss has been made in the newspapers,
and in the disturbed localities the police has
been strengthened, being in some places armed.
No clue, however, has been found to show who
were the disturbers of the peace, or who COM
nitted the outrages.
In this country we cannot see why there has
been much CONSERVATION in England. Here
we look upon Fenianism as only trap to catch
the ignorant, and the order as but mine out of
which the knowing ones" manage to extract
large of money contributed by the dupes
whom they have inveigled-for no one can tell
what good the order can possibly accomplish for
Irishmen, or for any other people under heaven.

The New York correspondent of the Cincinnati
Commercial, teegraphs that the Democratic leaders
quarreng among themselves, and that the State
will go Republican.-Erchange.
The handspring of the action of the so-caed
leaders of any party is office, and if they can't get
the fat places for themselves and particular friends
of course they will quarrel. But the people will
take the advice of these eaders and throw up their
hats when they make speeches, no matter what be-
comes of the material interests of the country.
The action of the Philadelphia Convention in 1866
would have resulted in great good to the country if
it had been for the subbornness of what is called
the Democratic party of New York and some other
Northern States. By the by, the party at the North
called Democratic, is not in any wise entitled to the
name 1t does not advocate principle taught
by the democratic party of old times. 1t is now
nothing but office-seekng combination.

with the Secretary of the Treasury who has directed
that it be opened for the present only an Assay
Office. Whether it is again operated for the
purpose of coming will depend the success of the

New York to the Charleston News as follows:
II know many of our people will conclude that
the result of the late elections in PENNSYLVANIA and
Ohio will be of great service to them Such a hope
Is idle The apparent defeat of the Republican party
in those States does not mean that the Northern
people not thoroughly united as to the rights

deserve to have the lesson taught them again. &c.
