CoTToN TAx-IMpoRTANT PRov1so.
The whole body of the Northern
press and people, not to speak of the
South, are now clamoring for the
Immediate repeal of the cotton tax.
Not single voice, we believe, has yet
been raised against the measure, and
it seems to be conceded on all sides
that Congress will speedily respond
to the popular demand. We notice,
however, that some of the leading
New York journals suggest that, in
the act of repeal, n clause should
provide that no cotton should be
exempted except that which is in the
hands of the producers., It is urged
that there will be no injustice in this,
for those who have bought, have
made their purchases w;tL shs know
ledge Of the law. This proposed
proyiso will doubtless have q ten
dency to check shipments from the
interior until Congress shall have
taken definite action in the matter.

Az ,APPEAI.-The managers Of the
projected Home in ChaEleston,
publish the following appeal to the
Southern people,:
When the soldiers Of the Confede-
rate army went forth to battle, they
committed their souls to God, and
their families 10 their country.
Strong as the chain Of affection was,
it was not strong enough to hold
them back from duty. Counting
their lives as naught, laying property,
ease, and family affection on the altar
Of their country, they fought like
heroes-brayely, and they died like
martyrs, uncomplainingly.
But in dying they left us q sacred
legacy-their wives and children
the thought of which fell like a
gloomy, shadow on the hearts of our
expiring countrymen. We have wept
for our dead heroes, land we have
planted flowers upon their. graves;
but this work Of love is only half our
duty, the other half we have yet to
perform.
We call upon ali who love the
S1lth, in, the name OF duty, in the
name of gratitude, in the sweetname
OF charity,4to Join us in our work of
raising up q home for the families
OF our honored soldiers. We appeal
to our countrymen and our country.
women, by all the sacred and glorious
memories Of the past, and by the
dark, anxious present, to aid us in
our work. We cannot bring back
the dead, who laid the precious Jewel
the. alter Of the South;
but we can bring light to the path
and comfort to the heart of the
living-those living who. bereft Of
their all, are struggling with the
storms of adversity. stl.,. a.,
We not only invite, but we earnest
~ implore, all who can, to bring
their contributions to this cause; the
gift laid upon the tables of
our fair will be an evidence of the
kind sympathy of the giTer. Let
every one bring stone to help to
build up this temple, consecrated to
the memory Of the dead, and dedi-
Gated to the use Of the needy living.
To all, then, who love the stricken
South, we send this appeal, and to
all who reverence the noble dead and
pity the sorrowful living.

The Mills HOUSE STABLES. -
Visitorsito Charleston, who desire to
be ''fxed OFF, in the carriage line,
are invited to give Messrs. Deighen
& Baker call, as they are fully pre-
pared to supply any and all orders
for horses, carriages, buggies, etc.
The Mercury, speaking of their stock,
says:
These gentlemen have one of the
largest stables in the city. which is as
well stocked with horses and vehicles
of all description, as any similar
establishment in the country. LII he
way of horse flesh, they possess
nineteen pairs of beautiful and fleet
animals, among which are some
"bloods" which can easily make their
mile inside of three minutes, with q
light wagon. They have five pairs
OF very handsome greys, and two
pairs of very pretty and swift Jet
blacks in their collection; also several
single or buggy horses of superior
mettle.
In the way of carriages their stable
is we'll supplied, having within the
past few weeks added six open and
two close carriages to their previous
stock. Some of the new ones have
not yet been used, and are very pretty
specimens Of what art can accomplish
in this line. They are all most
superbly cushioned and trimmed in
the most luxurious style. Three of
the open carriages have the combina-
tion @ and elliptic springs recently
introduced, and which it is said add
very materially to the ease and COM
fort of drive.
While speaking of these enterpris-
ing gentlemen, it might be we'll to
add (though probably not to their
wishes) that they have contributed
the use of their vehicles to clergy
men of all denominations, and chari-
table associations, whenever required
for a charitable purpose, or for the
funeral of any person whose family
could not afford the expenses. Such
acts should be remembered.

SALE OF CONFEDERATE PROPERTY.
The property soon to be sold in diff
ferent Southern cities by Gen. A. P.
Howe, of the Freedmen's Bureau,
consists Of storehouses, buildings,
lands and material, formerly belong
ing to the Confederate States, and
confscated at the close of the war.
The only property of this descrip-
ton in South Carolina is at Ham
burg, and is nothing more than some
old distilleries and other buildings.
AT Augusta, however, the sale will be
an important one, as Gen. Howe will
dispose of the Augusta powder mills.
These mills were built for the Con-
federate Government, under the
direction of European mechanics,
and were fitted with the newest and
most complete machinery. Altoge-
ther, they were considered to be the
finest powder mills in the United
States. They will be sold to the
highest bidders. Sic transit.

hood e Brighton, il the upper part
Of Beaufort District, owing to the
following circumstances: On the
days OF election the negroes were
harangued by q lawyer (2) of their
own race, from the town Of Beaufort,
who told them that if they had made
short work with the women and chill
dren, during the war, they would not
now have any trouble about the lands.
He also advised all who were without
arms TO procure supply immediate
ly. The name of this LAWYER '?) is
Wright, the same fellow who offered
the resolution in the Republican
Convention at Columbia, recon-
mending that the negroes support a
man of their own race as candidate
for the next Vice-President of the
United States. Since the delivery of
Wright's address, the negroes have
been parading abont the country be-
fore daylight in the morning, crying
'tto armsl to arms!" to the great
alarm of the white people. Since
then, too, the corn crib Of Mrs.
Lawtoh has been burned, with its
contents, her whole corn crop for the
year. Apprehensions are felt lest
this incendiarism may be exten led,
and the people left without the means
OF subsistence. Capt. Alfred Martin,
on behalf of the white people of that
neighborhood, has come to Charles
ton, to request Gen. Candy to send
up a detachment of troops to main.

The West Indies appear to be at
this time the theatre of both political
and physical convulsions. Hurri-
canes, earthquakes and instructions
are combined to desolate the face of
the esrth, and shake the foundations
of society. The territorial aggran-
dizen6ent in that direction, favored
by Mr.. Stevens, may be well suited
to an extension of the area OF anarchy
and distress which is being inaugu-
rated in the Southern States, but the
majority Of the American people at
this time are not in favor Of annex

The EUROPEAN CONFERENCE. "A
late cable despatch states that Gen.
Dix, our Minister in France, has pro-
posed to the Emperor Napoleon that
the United States be represented in
the contemplated European Confer
ence. 1t is scarcely consistent with
the reputation of Gen. Dix, ms n gen.
tleman of sober sense, and diplo-
matist we'll versed in the traditional
policy of this Government, to exercise
the same abstenance from intermed-
ding in questions of European con.
Germ, that is requires from Europe in
the affairs Of America, to suppose
that General Dix has made any such
proposition. The protection of our
commercial interests requires that we
should be represented ut European
courts, bnt we have nothing to do
with the "balance of power" in the
old world, and have neither interest
nor sympathy with the processes by
which rival dynasties regulate IN
equilibrium which is uniformly ad-
justed with reference to the conve-
nience of rulers rather than that of
the people whom they condescend to
govern. Least of all has this coun-
try, which, under it's form of Govern.
ment, recognizes no particular reli-
gion, but extends to all men equal

anything to do with conferences, re-
