that owners or masters Of every vessel,
steamboat, or barge, are included within
the meaning Of the law rs express carriers,
and arc bound to take out a license. As
this applies to every seaboard and river
town in the United States the instructions
will doubtless cause some surprise to those
heretofore exempt from such tax. AS
SCISSORS Of internal revenue throughout the
country have been directed to notify such
ownerc and masters accordingly.
The Commissioner Of Internal Revenue
has also decided that under no clrcum-
stances can revenue stamps be redeemed.

asked permission TO transfer stamps used

EXCITING TINES IN CAROLINE County
There was quite m excitement ut Bowling
Green towards the dusk Of the evening on
Monday, which ut one time it was feared
would lead to Il row on an extended scale
between the blacks and the whites.
It appears that q small debt claimed to
be due between n white and black man
the former the debtor. we hear, who denied
the claim in toto. Towards night the darky,
supported by gang of fifteen or twenty
pestilcnt fellows, again demanded payment,
and, we suppose upon the whites refusal to
pay, q storm of brickbats and other missiles
were hurled.
At this point white man and former
law officer, we hear, went up to one of the
colored rioters, Willis Coleman, and attempt
ed to appcase him and the mob. Willis
drew horsc-pistol upon the white man,
whereupon n large party of whites rushed
to the rescue, and the report is that Willis
was severely beaten, and some four or five
other blacks shared the same fate, but not
in the same degree.
1t was currently reported in town yester-
day that another, outbreak had occurred in
the vicinity of Milford depot on Tuesday,
in which Turkey, carpet-bagger, had been
shot.
This report is doubtless untrue, as q lady
from Bowling Green this morning reports
all to be quiet both there and at Milford

authority.
Judge McCunn will do all in his power to
avoid breach of the peace, but will sus-
tain the dignity Of the court at all hazards.
United States Marshal Barlow is confident
that he has sufficient force at his command
to resist any attempt to rescue the prisoner.

in front of the store Of the Messrs. Hurt,
near our depot, which resulted in the death
of one Of tie parties. A dispute had arisen
between William H. Campbell and William
Howell about note which the latter had
purchased against the former. Some sharp
words having occurred, Campbell left, and
in short time after lie returned, and Sec
ing Howell, informed him that he was
armed. Howell then used some insulting
language, and advanced toward him, when
Campbell drew his pistol and fired, the ball
taking effect in the left breast about four
inches above the nipple, ranging downward,
and lodging under the skin near the spine.

one good field Of corn during the entire day
