stitutes an amount that z can d in be spared
from the Treasury, yet, under all the circuni7
stances, the Commissioner has no hesitation
in recommending the immediate passage BY
Congress of an act repeaaihg tlIe entire tax
upon raw cotton, and the corresponding
existing duty on imported cotton, the'sameI
to take effect onlits passage. N
As yet but a small quantity of the new
crop of cotton has been marketed, but If the.
repeating act be delayed to later period,
it will evidently, work injustice to those
producers who may BE forced to send their
crop forward Immediately, unless the re-
moval Of the tax should be deferred to take
effect ut the close of the present cotton year
September ], 1865 800
If a repeal of the tax, to take effect I'M
indefinitely, should be enacted by Congress,
it is important that one contingency should
be efectually provided against. Contracts,
it is understood are proposed, and possibly
already made, for the purchase OF cotton,s
tax unpaid, to be held in store until the re-
peaiing legislation Of Congress has taken eff
fect-thus insuring to the specuiator, or ex-
porting buyer,a gain equivalent to the
amount Of the tax. It seems desirable,
therefore, that the act of repeal should be so
worded as to relieve from the payment OF
the tax only SO much cotton as at the date
named in the act, remained unsold by the
producer; al cotton having passed out of
the hands Of the producer to pay the tax, if
it has not already done SO. st
1t may be interesting in this connection to
mention that the committee of the Commits,
sioners of the Paris Exposition, assisted BY
B. +, Nourse, Esq, Of Boston, have collect
ed, and caused to be suitably arranged, o Sc
ries of samples of cotton from nearly all the
cotton-growing districts Of the world, which
collection they profer TO the Government,
with the suggestion that it be placed, for
preservation and reference, in one of the
public offices at Washington, in which sug9
gestiopJ the Special Commissioners cordially
concurs. am, Sir, yours, most respectfully.

very unweu, and during that period he
received sseyeral visits from his ply

on Tuesday, saying to his sister, Miss
Halleck, 81 am afraid ! shall not hive

III clock She went to his bedroom, and
found him sitting upTins his bed. lie
said, "Marie, hand me my pantaloons,
if you please" She turned to the other
side ofthe room to get them, but be-
fore she reached her brothers bedside,
he had fallen back dead-expiring with
out moan or struggle. And so
Z sHe gave his honors to the world again, GU
His blessed part to heavenand slept in peace"
On my arrival here this morning l
called, in company with one Of the
poets kinsmen, at. his residence on
Water-st., andfor afew, moments gazed
upon the countenance of my Venerable
friend, whose features were but slightly
changed since our last meeting, but the
lightIof whose5eyesI were forever closed
in death. On his coffin was silver
plate bearing this simple record SsFrTz
I GREENE HALLEcK, aged n years"
Also an exquisite floral ewfeath3 cross,
and harp, woven by the fair hands Of
some of his young Guilford admirers.
At precisely O'clock this afternoon,
hearse containing the earthly remains
of the poet, followed by along process,
sion of mourners on foot, at the head OF
which walked Miss Halleck and her
cousin, Charles Elliot, each in their
eightieth year, left plain two-stery
house, and proceeded to Christ Church.
After the beautifully decorated coffin
was carried to the front of the chancel
the service of the Episcopal Churchwas
read by the Rev. DIR. Burnett, assisted
by the Rev. G. W. Everest of Hamden.
From the church the poets troops of
friends followed his remains, some on
foot, others in carriages, to the East
Burying-Ground situated about q mile
distant from the village green, formerly
the Guiltord burial place. and in one
corner of which the poets mother found
her last resting-place. The impressive
burial service of the English Church
was read after his remains were lowered
ito their long home, by the side of his
fathers grave. To quote a few lines
from Edmund Spencer, one Of Halleck's
favorite authars::
"Here may thy storme-bete vessel safely tyde,
This is the port of rest from troublous toyle,
