GEN. JACKSON AND GEN. GRANT.

General Grant has sentinel marching
in front of his house night and day. When
his little boy of twelve years of age rides
to school every day, he is accompanied by
two orderlies in the uniform Of the United
States army. Ia referring to this CORE
spondent of the Macon (Ga) Telegraph re-
lates the following incident Of Gen. Jack
sons last visit to New Orleans:
"The fatigues of the day ended, the old
hero repaired with many of the citizens to
apartments prepared for him in that mag
nificent structure, the st. Louis Hotel.
The Captain Of an Irish company detailed
a stalwart son of Erin az a sentinel, at the
Generals door. There he was walking his
rounds, when the General observed him,
and turning to Gen. Lewis, asked:
"What does this mean ?"
81 shall ever remember that look, and
the exclamation My God ? as he strobe up
to the sentinel with manner which was

"My good man." said he, "what are you
doing al my door, with muaket in your
hands?
"The Captain placed me here as your

people? Am in danger frora these? Or
is this intended as an honor to me2 If so,

tinued: whenever an American citizen,

WHAT PAPERS MUST BE STAMPED

So intricate and perploXing are the laws
relating to internal revenues that few can
recollect what papers must be stamped, ana
there is often different opinion among
those who claim TO he learned in this kind
OF law. It is, we believe, pretty certain
that stamps must be used as follows All
notes and evidences of debt, iiVe cents 90
each hundred dolIars if under one hun
dred dollars, 6ge cents if over one hun
bred dollars, five cents on each addiuona'
hundred dollars or part thereof. All re
ceipts for any amount without limit over
twenty dollars, two cents IL twenty dollars
or under. nothing. All deeds and deeds OF
trust, Gfty cents on each five hundred dol
lars in value Of the property conveyed or
the amount secured When deed 10 trust

the reason why. Mortgage bonds need not
be stamped if stamps are affixed TO The
mortgage. All appraisements, estates OF
estrays, five cents on each sheet OF paper.
Affdavits Of every description are exempt
from stamp duties. Acknowledgements OF
deeds, etc, also exempt. Contracts and
agreements, FIVE cents, except Tor rents

WHO sUPPORT GRANT

All the old Abolitionists, who resolved
in May, 1864, that secession from the
United States government was duty,
support Grant.
William Lloyd Garrison, who said, in
1858, that the end Of the abolition move
ment which he supported, was the dissolu-
ton of the Union, supports the election Of
Grant.
Thad Stevens, who exclaimed, 'the
Union as it was-the Constitution as it is
God forbid" supports Grant.
Congressman Bingham, of Ohio, who
asked in the House Of Representatives
"Who, in the name of God, wants the cot
ton States, or any other State this side OF
perdition, to remain in the Union il slave

YANKEE TRICK PLAYED UPON A
YANKEE.

A Mr. Foster (RadiCal), of the North
Carolina House of Representatives, allud.
ing to a silyer-spoon report, said such a
charge might possibly be made against
Beast Butler with truth, but not against
him. He then attacked Mr.. Sinclair, who
replied as follows
"Mr. Sinclair said itwGuId be unparlia-
mentary to call the membar a liar, but
nevertheless the assertion that he wI5 liar
was true, and he did not think his marital
relations were matters to be discuased in
this House. The member from Bladen
(Foster), who wished to incorporate in the
bill provision for embaIming bodies, was
greatly interested in that business, for in
the pursuit of that occupation at Whining
ton, Just after the war, he received an
order from q Northern gentleman to disin-
ter his son, who had died ia that place
from the effect Of the ampuiaiiOr OF his
left leg. Foster, being unable to find the
identical body, and disliking to lose his
profit, selected a body and cut of one Of
its legs When the body reached home, 10
and behold it was found out that the
right leg had been cut of by mistake.
The gentleman of course discovered the
fraud, returned the body, and the carpet
bag reurrectionist was left minus his com
mission"

COTTON CROP REPORTS.

From gentlemen who came in on the
Southwestern railroad Yesterday, we get
gloomy reports from the cotton crop in
Southwestern Georgia and Southeastern
Alabama. 1t has rained more or less in
that section every day for nearly two
weeks, and very serious anxiety is felt
about the cotton crop. Both the rust and
caterpillar are making their appearance,
and If the present wet weather lasts much
longer, the cotton will be cut short fully
one-hal, if not more This shows the folly
and uncertainty of all calculations in re-
gard to cotton so long as it is in the field.
Two weeks ago the prospects we're excel
lent for the amount of land planted. To-
day those prospects are well destroyed and
week may blast them altogether.-JfdcoR
(Ga.) Telegraph, dug 5.
We are in receipt Of letter from a gen.
tleman who is planting in the Northern
part of the State, from which we gather
| that less than half cotton crop has been
planted this year in his neighborhood.
Speaking of the expected large yield OF
cotton, he says: 1--WE are bona ME planters.
Last years crop was not larger lin the ay-
erage) than usual we were not so badly
hurt by the war as many planters we have
had peaceful and law abiding laborers
comparatively, and in every respect think
we compare favorably with an average of
the South. But we are not able to put in
quite half crop of cotton" From a
table furnished US by the writer we learn
that in the neighborhOod of Beech Island,
on the Savannah river, near the Barnwell
and Edgefeld line, the number of acres of
land planted in cotton last year by num-
Der of planters was 2945, while the number
of acres planted this year by the same gen
tlemen amounts to 1874, showing not quite
half the amount as stated in the letter.
Charleston Courier, Aug /.
The seasons, until recently, have been
propitious in this section for the cotton
plant, and it has attained good size but
the late excessive rains have tended to
stimulate it too much, caused it to throw
off its fruit and take a second growth. The
caterpillar, some planters say, has already
passed the second Matching, and fears are
entertained should the seasons favor, the
destruction of the crop will be rapid and
certain. Last year, although appearing
about the same time, the damage to the
crop was not uniform. Some crops were
benefited, others but slightly affected, a
very large proportion was entirely denu-
ded, and but little saved from the field.
Sunshine is now much needed to de7elope
the plant, with continued adapted seasons
to make full crop from the area of land.

THE FREEDMEN'S BUREAU.
What the Radical voting Machine
has Cost the Tax-payers

What the Radical Voting Machine
has Cost the Taxpayers.
The statement of Revenue Commissioner
Wells that the Freedmen's Bureau, since
its organization in 1866, down to June so,
1868, has cost only $5,6l7, 900, is so at va
rance with the figures heretofore given
from official sources directly connected
with the bureau az to excite surprise.
Doubtless as far as the items are specifical-
ly charged to that bureau, Mr.. Wells state
ment is correct. The expenses of this bu-
reau are, however, it is said, concealed in
a mass Of appropriations, and mixed up
with those of the War and other depart
ments, so that it is almost impossible to get
at the exact outlay. No fair or precise &C
count has eyer been rendered. While Mr..
Wells states the Expenses from 1866 to
1868" to be $5,6I7, 900, Congress made two
direct appropriations within that period,
for S10,7S0,750, or more than five millions
above the sum stated. The National In
telligenccr explains further, as follows:
The bureau was organized by the act of
March 3, 1865, though it has been practi-
cally in existence long before, under the
name of the Department of Negro Affairs,
which transferred large funds to the bu-
reau. No part of the two appropriations
for nearly eleven millions, already re.
ferred to, was drawn from the treasury
until August, 1867, being more than two
years after the expenditures of the bureau
began The explanation is, that aband-
oned lands in the Southern States, and
others TO which the government had ac-
quired title by confiscatiOn or sale, were
seized and appropriated for the use Of this
concern, together with an immense amount
Of fines, taxes, retained bounties, etc, Of
which no returns have been made, making
an enormous aggregate. Besides these
vast resources, the Secretary of War had
power to issue unlimited supplies of pro-
visions, clothing and fuel, subject to regu-
lations prescribed by himself. The scale
on which il was done may be estimated by
the fact that ten millions Of rations were is.
sued in twelve months. No account of
the clothing and fuel has been furnished.
Il il all purposely covered up. SO, too, in
i'BaIu 10 tIah7Poi''''oI, lh'''iCH 9uPPl0''
aud the like
But although the actual cost Of this vast
organization cannot be precisely stated,
for the reasons which have been exposed,
still there are approximate figures which
furnish a practical idea of the millions
which it consumes. Gen. Howard, the
Commissioner Of Bureau, who is directly
interested in depreciating the outlay, made
an official estimate for the fiscal year from
January l, 1866, to January l, 1867, which
gives the only data from that source Of the
expenditures. Here is what he says:
1t is estimated that the amount re-
quired for the expenditures of the bureau
for the fiscal gear commencing January,
1866, will be $ll,745,050. This slan is
requisite for the following purposes:

A PRODUTIvE COUNTRY The Norfolk
Journal says that gentleman in South
hampton county, Virginia, sold $4,000
worth of strawberries of OF ten acres Of
land last season, and that two gentlemen
who jointly conducted small truck-farm
five miles from Norfolk, cleared S25,0O0
by the sale Of berries aud vegetables. The
Journal adds:
These statements are true, and we
could give many more such if we had
time to 60 round and ask the truckep in
this neighborhoOd. There Is no country
in America, the cultivation of which pro-
duced such a wonderful return, as this

This estimate is below the mark in many
respects. For example, the salaries are
stated at $3.50, 800, while the actual amount
paid for single year was SS15,731 "a, ex-
elusive Of the pay for school teachers, hos
pital attendants and army officers. Thus
we have General Howard estimating the
cost of the bureau for one year at $ll 49,
$50, while Mr.. Welles has the assurance TO
say that the expenses since its organization
were only S5,6l7,00O. AS these Radical
doctors disagree, the responsibility of false
statement rests between them, but unfOrtu-
nately the people have to pay for the short
