WASHINGTON, March lit is provided
by section 81, act of March 2, 1867, that
all inspectors appointed under the internal
revenue laws shall be required to give
bonds with security for sum not less than
So 900, conditioned for faithful perform
ance of their duties.
Each inspector in the internal revenue
service, of whatever kind, is therefore
hereby required to execute bond in the
sum of $4,000. Those living east Of the
Mississippi river must do so prior to April
| I: those west of the Mississippi, and east
of the Rocky mountains, will be allowed
until May / p; while those living on the Pa,
cilic coast must file their bonds by June /
ANY Inspector who fails to comply with
this requirement within the time specified
will be considered as having vacated hi:
office.
This requirement must be complied with
by inspectors of tobacco, snuff, and cigars
Notwithstanding they have heretofore giveI
bonds under a former act. Form 80
which has hitherto been used exclusively
for inspectors of tobacco, will be SC
changed as to answer for all inspectors
and NAV be obtained from any assessor.
These bonds should be executed in al
points in accordance with the instruction:
contained in the foot notes on the form
and must be delivered TO the assessors OF the
respective districts for their approval, ano
by them be forwarded to the COMMISSIONS
of Internal Revenue.

WHEAT IN LOUISIANA AND TEXAS
Judge Robertson has recently made an
elaborate report on the resources of Lou
isiana, which he claims is peculiarly adapt
ed to wheat culture. He says that south
ern -four brings from three TO five dollars
per barrel more than the best New York
Genesse flour, and the -four of Louisiana
and Texas is far superior to that of Ten
nessee and Virginia, owing to its superior
dryness and the fact that it contains more
gluten and does not ferment SO easily.
Southern -four makes better dough than
northern or western; it is far better adapted
to transportation over the sea, and it keeps
better in the tropics. 1t is the flour that
is sought after for Brazil, Central America,
Mexico, and the West India market. A
barrel Of southern flour will make twenty
pounds more bread than barrel of Illinois
-four. Besides, the wheat of Louisiana
can be cut six weeks before that of the
North, and being so near the Gulf, it can
be shipped for less cost. Judge Robertson
thinks the South will soon supply the
foreign demand, which now amounts to
about 100000 900 bushels annually.

IMMIGRANTs.-Mr Stowe, of England, is
now soiourning in this city. If, after OBJ
servation, he is pleased with the country
and climate, he desires to make perma-
nent location in this section. He has done
wisely in coming here instead of going to
the West. The lands may not be so fertile,
but they can be made so, and the climate is
infinitely referable-besides, the profits
on products of the West are consumed in
getting them to market. Here lands are
cheap, capital and labor in demand, the
climate salubrious, the markets near,
wood and coal abundant, schools and
churches convenient, society good, and, in
fact, every inducement and advantage
found that emigrants naturally look for.
We hope that Mr.. Stowe will appreciate
these things, and be the means of inducing
many of his countrymen to follow his exam
pie.
We hear from the secretary of the
society here that parties representing a
considerable amount of capital are now in
conference with the agent of the society at
London with reference to emigrating to
Virginia. The society will do good work
if it sends us thrifty and hardy popula-
ton, to possess and cultivate our surplus
lands, to work our rich mines, and to manu-
facture our products.-LynclJ.rg Fugi-

SPECIAL dispatch TO the Commercial Advertiser.
WASHINGTON, March 26.-The Senate
dietary Committee will probably report
i-.4voy of Senator Wilson's resolution for
te ,yial or release on parole of Jefferson
Davis.
The President has been urged by prOmi-
ntl, Republicans to release the prisoner
on parole, but declined to take the respon-
,.yliry, and threw the onus on Congress.
Mr.. Johnson has been in favor of the trial
OF Davis by the civil authority, but as
Chief Justice Chase positively refuses to
hold court in a State under martial law,
the alternatives, in view Of the passage of
the military bill, are the indefinite impri-
soumcnt Of the rebel leader or his release.
Ii expected that Congress will adopt
The resolution, and that Jefferson Davis
will be released in week on his personal
TcCoEuiZance.

The period of dulluess stiil con tinues. The
rains have at last probably ceased In their con-
tinuous falling, and yesterday we had tole-
rabiy bright day. Should the omens not be de-
ceptive, we may hope for little Of the wind
and sunshine which generally does so much TO
dry the roads and facilitate farming operations,
and which we were wont to have In March
but for which we must now look to the hckle
month Of April. Should we be blessed with
some of this weather. we may hope soon to see
an improvement in business. Up to this time
IL has been impossible to do much in the way
OF the movement of produce A large guam
tity OF tobacco Is ready for market, but the
farmers have been unable to transport It..
Such roads as are now seen everywhere
through the State are almost without nrece.
dent.
Reasonably calculating upon better weather
now and better roads, we must anticipate /.
decidedly more cheerful state OF things In a
few weeks Never was there period OF
greater commercial depression than that
through which we have been passing for three
months, and which we trust we are nearly
out Of To the numerous other causes has
been added the uncertainty Of our political
status and the apprehensions occasioned oy
the proceedings of Congress.
No people was ever better schooied In al
versity, and we imagine none ever displayed
greater capacity to turn to advantage fayora-
BILE opportunities, than will ours whenever
those opportunities present themselves. The
war and the trials since the war have endued
them with an amount Of energy and perse.
verance, as well as practical sagacity, that
will contribute successfully and rapidly TO the
individual and aggregate comfort and wealth
of the community. All that is necessary Is
the restoration Of order, security, and conf.
dence This will certainly come with the re-
storation of the States to equality under the
Constitution but it may even come before
that event under the considerable and just ad-
ministration of martial law with which we
anticipate Virginia will be favored.
Virginia State stock has shown some want
of flrmness. 1t is rumored that the bears are
endeavoring to depress 1t. But as 1t is known
that the Legislature has not yet passed the
tax bill, and there is no positive certainty that
it will, the feeling of doubt may be engen-
dered without the help of the bears. A rumor
has proceeded from Washington that the Vir-
ginia Legislature will not be allowed to Assem-.
BILE again. We put no faith in this, and anti.
cipate the passage Of the tax bill when the
Legislature meets.

THE RUSSIAN SERFs AND OUR NEGROES
Edward Dicey, giving in Macmi!lan's Mage
zine his "Memories of Moscow" says:
al am told here constantly that the
emancipated serfs (whites) will not work
that emancipation has proved failure,
and that the peasants would be glad to have
the old system restored. But
the merchants laud the decree of emanci-
patton because it has already given such
an impetus to trade. = The seris
work hard enough to keep themselves in
what they consider comfort, and then, like
other workmen in all parts of the world
decline TO work more. AS they become
educated and civilized, their wants in
crease, their notion of comfort is raised,
and, in consequence, they work harder
Since the abolition of serfdom
the population of Moscow has increased
by $4,000 souls-solely due to the crowds
of serfs who have come into the great
cities.o
