classes, however, hear incidentally of exlen-
slve desntutlon in large sections OF the States
Of North and South Carolina, GEORGIA. and
AiaDana, consequent partly upon the waste
OF war, and the failure OF crops, which last
year was wide spread; and this not onIv
among their poor white inhabitants, who. even
I'D good years, are in almost INDECENT circum-
stances, but also among large numbers of the
planter class, especially of women and chill
dren who have lost their natural protectors
and means OF subsistence These people.
many OF them already quite destitute OF food,
the rigors OF this severe winter must severely
try, and heartily commend and sympathize
with the effort your commission is making to
help them. As you ask my suggestions as 10
methods of relief, venture to Recommend in
the hrst place, as the best means of giving an
important present relief and at the same
time securing the South against a recurrence
OF the existing destitution, advances of mon
ey to planters of industrious habits, but desti
tute OF means, TO enable them to put in a crop
Tor the coming year. Immediate relief think
you cannot better dispense than through the
JOINT agency OF the District Commanders and
Governors IN each State, giving full directions
as to the classes you aim to relieve. With
best wishes for the success of your undertake

part of o circular sent to Europe by q
New York house with that view; but this
correspondent learns from the highest
authority that so far from the Treasury
heing involved prospectively in diff
Guilty because Of the extent of its ma
turing obligations, the prospect is pre-
cisely the reverse. The cusUom reve-
nues thus far approximate closely to
the large receipts of last year, and sl-
though the internal revenue receipts
are considerably less than last year, as
was naturally expected and fully antic-
ipated, as we'll from decrease of taxa

it is now positively certain that the
fiscal year will close with very graft
flying balance of receipts over expendi-
lures.
