The DIRECT LAND TAX AT THE
SoUTH.-The Washington correspondent
of the New York Herald telegraphs un-
der date of the 14th:
There is some talk of enforcing the
collection of the direct land tax in the
South. The Southern States share OF
this tax-which amounted to $40, ,OOO,-
600 among all the States-was $6,OO0,.
coo; of this sum only about 10000
has been paid into the Treasury from the
Southern States. 1t will be remembered
that when this amount had been collect.
ed, President johnson sent message to
Congress, setting forth that in view o
the poverty produced in the South by
the war it would in many instances bt
ruinous to that section to enforce the
collection of the tax at that time, and
recommending that it be suspended fol
some time, so as to allow the industria
interests of the South to recuperate. /
is stated that the limit of the suspen
sion fixed by Congress has now passed
and the law providing for the levyins
and collection &C the tax comes into full
force again. 1t is argued by those VIII
urge this proceeding that the industrioy|
of the South have greatly improved Il
the interim, that the crops are abundal
and that there is no longer any excut
for delay on the score of poverty.

GREATNESS OF TExAs.-The Hous-
ton (Texas) correspondent, July 3, of
the New York Journal Of Commerce
says that Texas never entered July with
more aattering prospects of an ample
yield Of all the products which she is
cultiyating. The crop of corn and pota-
toes is made, and such an abundant one
has never been realized since the Anglo
Saxon race inhabited the country.
The writer adds that the agricultural
capabilities of Texas are almost beyond
conception. Few territories of her size
possess SO large proportion of land that
cen be properly cultivated. This State
alone, it is thought, under high state
Of farming, could be caused to yield
more cotton and sugar than is now pro-
duced in the rest of the South. It's
wheat producing capacies are very great,
and they are now being rapidly developed,
and will increase as railroad facilities ex-
tend to the wheat region. The ramie
plant and the palma christi, or castor-oil
bean, have been introduced in Texas.
The culture Of sea-island cotton is being
extended on the coast region of the
State. Increased attention is paid to
truit-growing. The culture of the tea
plant from China is much talked of.
Sheep husbandry is quite profitable.
The breadth Of ground planted in sugar
cane is annually increasing. The sugar
crop prospects of this year are good.
What State It's great need now is
immigration, and that is destined to flow
into IL from the inexhaustible fountain
Of Germany and the North-to say moth
ing Of Asia.
