The N. G. Railroad.

We publish a letter from Mr. Josiah Turner, the
President of the N. c. Road which will be interest
ing to the public. We have never been an admirer
OF Mr. Turner, but we will say that we think he is
trying to promote the welfare Of the Road under his
control and benefit the State well the individual
Stockholders. Every tax payer in the State is in
terested in this work Even if he does not own stock
In his individual capacity he is Stakeholder as a
citizen and taxpayer, and has the right to know
how the affairs of the Company managed, and
complain whenever he thinks proper.
Party feeling caused the appointment of Mr. Turner
as President of the Road, and do hesitate to
express the opinion that party feeling has influenced
Mr. Turner to some little extent in his management
of the business, Che vndictive partizan but if he
does his work well and advances the interest of
the Road, the State and the Stockholders we shall
not growl at him about unmportant matters Upon
the whole, we think Mr. Turner deserves credit for
his good management so far, and We hope he will
have fair opportunity TO show that this great State
work can be made to pay and rebound to the benefit
Of the people generally.

CongresS-The Cotton Tax,

Congress adjourned over during the HOLIDAYS and
will again assemble till the 9th of January. The
bill repeal the Cotton passed the House of
Representatives, but postponed in the Senate
having met more opposition in that body than was
anticipated. The bill passed by the House only
repeats the lax Cotton grown hereafter and not
on the past years crop. We had hoped that it would
be made apply to the present crop, but from the
remarks Of Senators the subject we do not now.
expect such result.
This unjust tax has already injured Southern
planters, and hope they will take into considera-
the proprety of abandoning the culture of cot
when making their calculations for next wears
operations, even if the tax is repealed.
The Hon. Mr. Baker, member of the House from
Illinois, made able speech in favor of the repeal of
the cotton and gave the following pointed reasons
why it should be done:
l. 1t appears to me that the power to levy such a
tax may not be perfectly clear The Constitution
provides that mo tax duty shall be laid on ar
ticlcs exported from any State Now, when we re-
fleet that an immense preponderance of the cotton
crop Is exported from the country, and when we re-
feet that the bect of this provision of the Constu
ton to foster exports by relieving them from
the burden of TAX or duty it appears to me- in
the absence of special investigation the point that
there is for possible doubt whether this
tax was laid in conformity with the object and spirit
of the Constitution.
. 1t is a tax upon the production of labor in its
primary FORM species of taxation which depresscs
labor, which impedcs the creation of wealth. and
which ought never to be resOrted to by any Govern
ment save on critical and imperative occasions
j. 1t is Il tax which loads coIumerce with
dead weight in its attempt compete with the for
eign production and supply of cotton, thus tending
to lesson the gross quantity of our annual exports
and to increase the balance of trade against US and
i'll favor of foreign countries. 1t is needless to say
that such result must be injurious to our whole
people.
f. 1t is a tax upon article eminently necessary
and OF universal consumption-an article which con-
tributes Immensely to the comfort, the health, the
civilization OF the great mass of the people The
production of no such article should be taxed except
1t may be- on occasions of extreme public necessity
D. 1t is i'll effect direct tax upon the agricultural
labor of poverty stricken section of our country
! hear much by way Of report and know something
by observation OF the pltiable poverty of immense
portion of the people of the South, whether white or
black. This tax upon their productive labor ought

humanity to considerations Of a sound public
policy.

Patriotic Movement. on Foot.

A Federal soldier has recently made bet that he
and carry United States Flag without being modest
ed or injured Let the people along his route show
that they not the barbarians that old Thad
Stevens represents them to be. A Wisconsin paper
gives the following account of the affair:
Recently at Edgeron in this State novel wa ger
was laid between citizen and soldier, and they
have drawn up the matter in writing The soldier
agrees to walk from Vcksburg, Miss, Washington
D. Co. through the South, displaying on his the
stars and stripes. The soldier who undertakes to do
this is Quarermaser Sergeant George III. Bates, late
of Battery III, First Wisconsin Artillery. Sergeant
Bates tells that previous the last election he was
in conversation with gentleman of Edgerton who
declared that the flag of country not re-
only by the blacks alone. At this Sergeant Bates
became indignant. He declared he did not believe
it. He loved the old flag too well to think that there
any section of country where it would not
be respected and declared that if the gentleman was
in earnest he had a proposition to make. The gen.
tleman declared he in earnest. Then, said the
Sergeant, you know | am poor man, but if you will
give me one dollar day for my family, | will fit
myself out with large United States flag, and l will
carry it to Vicksburg. At Vicksburg l will unfold
the flag to the breeze and will carry it foot
the country to Washington. The flag shall be plainly
in view to ALL and | will go alone and unarmed, and
without n cent in my pocket when leave Vicksburg
The gentleman accepted the proposition and at
writings were drawn up, Sergeant Bates agreeing to
set out after the first of January, and to Wash
ington before the 4th of July, with the old flag
flying over his head

seem to be necessary consequence that, as
protection to the community, they should have
authority to compel all who are able, to support
themselves, and thus prevent them from becom-
ing burden upon the community. To deny
the civil authorities the exercise of this right, is
to place the freedmen above the recognized gov
eminent of the State.
1t is a matter of very grave doubt whether,
in the present condition of affairs the civil
thorities, unaided by the military, will be able to
maintain order and execute the law. Civil pro-
cess can only be served in the ordinary manner
where offenders are the exception and the law is
sustained by public opinion; but in the present
ruined condition of labor in this State thousands
are without labor, and must subsist; consequent
ly, depreciation is the rule and honesty the ex-
ception, while on the other hand, to treat as va
grants four-ffths of the community is simply i'm
practicable.
But these are matters for your consideration
and Of the law making power rather than for me,
whose functions are entirely executive, and to
you | submit the case merely with the surmise
that it will be impossible to inaugurate any sys-
tenn for the relief of the blacks which is unani-
mously approved by the whites.
There is another subject worthy of attention
in this connection. There seems to be a wide
spread belief, which is daily increasing among
the GIIiS ICtslc Is W
divided and distributed among them, and in some
sections of the State this illusion is assuming
practical form, by the freedmen refusing to con-
tract for the next year, or to leave the premises
they have cultivated this year.
1t is to be feared that this course, induced by
evil disposed advisers may lead to collisions, the
extent and result Of which it is difficult to sur
mise
I receive almost daily petitions and memorials
asserting the existence of organized companies
of freedmen and asking the presence and protec-
ton of troops and although [ satisfied that
these representations are generally the result of
fear and exaggerated rumors yet the existence
Of such organizations in some sections of the
State is certain. Commanders of troops and
agents of the Bureau have been instructed to
urge upon the freedmen the absolute necessity of
abstaining from armed demonstrations; that they
will be protected in all their rights but that they
must not seek redress by force violence.
In order to avoid as far as possible bringing
the races in collision with each other, have ad-
vised that whenever practicable the 'posse" sum-
moned to assist in an arrest shall be of the same
race as the person arrested.
I am, General very respectfully, your obedient
servant, ALvAN G. GILLEM,
Brevet Major General, Commissioner.
