The Cotton Tax Declared Unconstitu-
tional.

We are in receipt Conformation, says
The Atlanta Herald of the 7th, that the
United States Conrt of Claims has decided
that the cotton tax Law. under which
some eighty-eight millions OF dollars
were collected, was unconstitutional. II
appears that Mr.. Berg, instead Of peti-
tioning Congress to refund the tax paid
by him, brought suit in the Court OF
Claims for its recovery, employing emi-
nent counsel, among whom was the
present able Ordinary of Chatham eoun.
~. This gentlemse a few days ago re-
oeived private letter which announced
that the court was against the constitu-
tionality of the law, but its decision has
not yet, we believe, been officially pro-
mulgated. To a very large number Of
our readers this intelligence will be most
gratifying, as It viii enable them to
recover she money illegally wrung from
them at time when they wero most in
need of freedom from taxation.

There is land of love
And rays ofpromise from that land
Have reached this clouded sphere
Then courage her,-here's my hand,
:. And, here's my heart with cheer. &c.
Now let our minds with eagle soar
The storm is passing by; j.
And weeping may to night endure,
!. But morning joy is nigh:
Above the fiercest storm below,
And cloud of darkest hue,
The sun is always bright, you know,
The sky is ever blue.
The beasts that grope upon the sod,
Have faces to the ground:
But men have faces toward God
AS if for glory bound;
Yet there are men " nose hearts are gone
Joys are to them unknown;
For sordid dust, their souls have drawn,
And turned their faces down.
The clouds hung o'er us, and our feet
Have been the thorns among;
But, from the eater came forth meat,
And sweetness from the strong.
An opening in the cloud is seen,
And beams are pouring through;
Above the murky air, I ween,
Are joys for me and you.
Those joys, begin with men below,
In which they live above; -
Then why not taste them as,we go9- =,
Remember, "God is love-" ,a
