INTERNAL REvENUEFRoM THE SOUTH.

In Congress and elsewhere, cotem-
porary remarks, comments have been
made upon the limited revenue derived
from the ten excluded States. 1t has
been stated as startling fact !" that the
total amount ofinternal revenue derived
thus far from those States is less by
twelve millions than that paid by Rhode
Island The New Orleans Crescent ex.
poses the glaring error of this statement
by mentioning the fact that the States
referred to have paid taxes since the war
on fully three million bales Of cotton,
this tax alone amounting to forty FIVE
millions of dollars. If Rhode Island has
paid twelve millions more than this, she
has paid fifty.seven millions of dollars in
taxes, or three hundred dollars per head
for each man, woman and child. If the
other Northern States have paid in like
proportion, the internal revenue tax
would have footed up not less than seven
thousand millions of dollars-more than
twice the national debt. The Crescent
remarks that the tax on tobacco alone in
the South, exceeds the total taxes of
Rhode Island, and that the single town
Of Danville, Virginia, pays tax of three
millions Of dollars on the manufacture
of tobacco, the tax being forty cents per
pound,

THE NOON DISPATCHES
FROM RICHMOND.

RICHMOND, Va, April 22.-SenatOl
Wilson spoke at Orange c. II. on Satur
day. He recounted the events which led
to war, and said after its close the North
had no ill.feeling for the South. The
South was not submissive, and had mea'
sures now pending been adopted directly
at the end Of the conflict the South would
have ackno wledged that the Government
was just and liberal, but when johnson
assumed power he adopted a different
policy, which had broughton all this dis
satisfaction. Lincoln had prepared eight
conditions for the pardon Of rebels, all
of which met his (Wilson's) approval.
Johnson had prepared fourteen, which
(six too many. He (Wilson) had
never favored the $4,000 clause, for he
wanted the South, except few promi.
nent rebels, to be at liberty to 20 to work.
The South complained of Congress vio-
lating the Constitution, and yet upheld
johnson, in violation Of the Constitution,
in restoring the States. The speaker
said he was opposed to a black mans
party or white mans party, but let all
who favor human bondage 60 together,
and all who favor freedom and progress
go together If any Of the rebels have
cast aside their decisions, let them come
up and join the Republican party.
Major J. II. Lee, State Senator from
Orange, replied to Mr.. Wilson. He
charged the introduction of slavery upon
the North, and said that Lincoln did not
at first intend to liberate slaves, and that
the Southern people were the blacks
best friends. Mr.. Wilson replied that in
one year the North would give the ne
groes suffrage and that confscation
might fellow if the Reconstruction bill
was not accepted.

PEABODY EDUCATIONAL FUND.
Mode Of Applying tho Charity.


NRw YoRH, April l9.-Dr. b. Sears
General Agent OF the Peabody Eduea
tional Fund, has issued a circular giving
somewhat detailed statement OF the
mode in which the trustees of the Fund
propose 10 apply the charity committed
to their charge He says the direct aim
OF the agent will be 10 encourage and aid
the common schools in the South; that
is, in schools established. supported and
superintendent by Southern people them
selves. Apart from this leading object,
the founding aud maintenance OF schools
will not come within his plan.
Usually appropriations 10 mod
crate amounts will be made when
the schools are languishing or liable
TO be suspended for want Of means OF
support Similar aid il necessary will
be given in places unsupplied with
schools, whenever the citizens shall in
troduce them and undertake their sup
port All such aid is to be regarded as
temporary. In selecting schools to be
aided or places 10 be supplied with them,
those will be preferred in which destitu-
ton is to be benefited. Larger male
schools, or schools having normal de-
partments, will receive particular atten-
ton. A small number of these furnish
ing the more perfect models Of instruc-
ton will be considered as more import
ant than larger numbers of an inferior
character. 1t is the purpose Of the agent
to aid others in their work, and not to
assume the support Of such schools APP
preparations will be made only when the
conditions stipulated between individu-
ais or corporations, and the general agent
have been strictly complied with. The
funds will not be given TO literary or pro-
fessional schools, as such. Applicants
will make an estimate Of the least posi-
BILE amount necessary to meet their wants
and report the same at once to Mr.. Sears,
general agent, or John L. Ames, general
travelling agent, Atlanta, Ga. Special ar.
rangements may sometimes bo made with
these for the purpose of encouraging
industrial arts or the education of
teachers. The agent will not identify his
efforts with any other association by
placing funds at the disposal of its mana
gers, but in any connection he may hold
with benevolent or religious societies, he
will pursue his own specific object by
such means and appliances as he shall
select. At present there will be no
agencies except few in which the SER
vices rendered will be gratuitous. The
agent will not, save in few exceptional
cases, have occasion to employ teachers.
He can, therefore, aid such in obtaining
places only by giving their names to
school committees.
