IMPORTANT NoTICE.-The Public Treasurer
of this State, Mr. Battle, publishes the following
notice to Sheriffs and Tax Collectors:
STATE OF NORTH CAROLINA, TREASURY Dept,
Raleigh September a. 1867. {
To the .Sherifs and Tar Collectors Of ". c.:
In consequence of information just received. |
deem it my duty to inform you that you are bound
by law to pay the State Taxes due, into the
Public Treasury prior to the lst day of October
next. Unless payment shall be made. am i'm
peratively bound lat the first court which shall
occur after the default, to move for Judgment
against delinquents. for the full amount of taxes
due, deducting nothing for commissions or in
solvents, but adding one thousand dollars for
taxes supposed not to appear in the lists trans
mitted by the Clerk
The next Superior court of Wake will begin on
the Both of September. With every disposition
to grant indulgence to Sheriffs and the people, [
think it best to notify you, that the law gives me
no discretion, and that unless payments be made
before the 4th of October next. being Friday
of the Superior court of Wake, judgment will as
suredly be moved for against all delinquents.
L learn that an opinion prevails in some quar-
tiers that the State Treasury has large surplus
and needs further replenishment. This is not
true. The taxes collected under the Revenue
Act of 1866, will be nearly all exhausted by the
close of the present year Sept. Both, 1867. The
taxes being collected will be needed for the
year ending September Both, 1868 Out of this
fund must be paid the expenses of the State Gov
eminent for the coming year. of the Asylums, of
the probable Convention and General Assembly,
in full all ordinary end extraordinary appropria-
tons made by law.
This is the smallest State tax levied since 1913.
Taxi payers should attend to their duty at once
and cheerfully. They will expect relief in vain
The district commander has been urged to stop
the collection. but has declined to interfere Let
Sheriffs by energetic collections and tax payers
by prompt payments, save me from the painful
duty of enforcing law against delinquents
Very respectfully, KEMP Z. BATTLE,
| Public Treasurer.

THE PRESIDENTS PRoCLAMATION.--Anoth
Proclamation from President johnson is
sued last week. 1t warns all persons against
obstructing and hindering the Constitution and
distractions have recently been interposed in
the States of North and South Carolina-only
meaning. suppose, that Gen. Sickles refused
to permit the process of the U. S. Court. held at
Raleigh, to be executed against citizens for
debts due Northern creditors.
The wording of the Proclamation is calculate
to make the impression that citizens of North and
South Carolina have been obstructng the laws,
and in that respect is unjust to the peoples where
as it is only certain Government officers that
have obstructed, hindered, &c. The President
might have stated frankly to whom he alluded.

A SUGGEsTIoN.-We have had inquiries to
where good farming or mining lands could be
bought in this section at moderate rates. These
inquiries come from men who do not want to
speculate, but desire to settle in this part of the
State and engage in agriculture. We some
gentlemen last week from Northern State who
wanted to purchase farming lands.
The suggestion make is this: Those who
have land for sale, either for farming or mining
purposes. should adopt some means to make it
known to the public. If they are unwilling to
pay for advertising in the newspa pers, let them
stick Up notices at the corners of the Public
Square, or at the Court House, or authorize some
one TO speak for them.

WESTERN NORTH CAKOLINA.-On our first
page will be found an interesting communication
from DR.. Scroggs, in regard to the soil, climate,
productions and resources of Western North
Carolina. As the writer justly says, our own
people at least ought to consider these things,
and the advantages here at home, before they
move off to some distant country.
For our own part, we do not hesitate to say
that North Carolina is the best State in the
Union, and tho country between the Yadkin and
CatawbG Rivers, as well the whole western
part. is the most pleasant and delightful the sun
ever shOne upon.
