Sir : A good many of the distillers of brandy in this district, especially those who distilled for their ueighbors, have now got through distill ing for the present year. In the mean time, they, the distillers, have permitted their neigh bors to take away, the brandy thus made; for them, and have eold that which belongs to themselves. It has been impossible for me to assess this brandy. for the want of organization. In the absence of the proper , officer, a collector, to grant these distillers licenses, they contend that they are not liable for the tax of one dollar and fifty cents per gallon. Of course, I don't think as they do, but what I want to know is, shall I require these distillers to return upon oath the amount of brandy they have thus permitted to leave their establishment from the time they commenced the distillation of the same. - Very respectfully, V H. H. HELPER, Assessor. Treasury Department, 1 tue, Office of Internal Reccn Washington, Oct 10th, 1865 5ir : Your letter of the 2Pth ult., relative to distillers of brandy, in your, district, has been received.' " . The distillers named by you, should take out licenses as such, and they should make returns for all brandy distilled by them, from the date othe establishment of your district, asset forth in Section 2d, of circular of Secretary of the Treasury, dated Jnno 21st, 1865. Very respectfully, , K. A. ROLLINS, Deputy. Commissioner. U. II. Helper, Esq, Assessor, 3d District, Salisbury, a . u. . i - ET The State of Kentucky has been reliev ed from martial law, and the people are rejoic ing on account thereof. " IIILITABY COMPANIES. The following is" -an Ordinance adopted by the Convention last week, authorizing the organization of a force - in each county la the State io preserve law and order: V,, t i Be it ordained by the delegates of the people in Convention assembled, and it is nereby or dained by the authority of the same, That the ri . rr " a - J 1 .1. I r : ' 1 o nerilld appotmeu uuuer me .x ruvisiuusi jruv ernment shall, as soon 'as practicable, summon the J ustices of the Peace as appointed by the Provisional Governor, for their, respective coun ties, to meet at the Court House of the several counties, on a day certain, and a majority, or such number of said Justices as shall be assem bled, shall have power, and they arc hereby au thorized, to enrol and organize as niainy military companies, as auxiliaries to the county Police, as they in their discretion may deem necessary, for the r reservation of Jaw and or'der, under the following rules and rcgulatiopl"? . The said Justices shall enrol iD or any por tion of the free white male residents between the ages of eighteen and thirty-five, Jand if ne cessary extend the enrolment to forty-five years. They shall appoint or direct the : election of all necessary officers. They shall prescribe the duties, police or otherwise, to be discharged by said forces. They shall make such exemption as they may deem proper. They shall have power to enforce, all their orders by. the inflic tion of such pains and penalties as they may consider necessary, just and proper. And in case of any serious disturbance or outbreak, the said forces shall be deemed auxiliary to the county Police, and shall be subject' to the same orders. And the said Justices, shall; from time to time, have power and they are hereby author ized to adopt such measures as they may deem necessary to render the said forqes efficient for the purpose herein set forth. , t - Be it further ordained,- That. thi ordinance shall remain in full force until the' militia are organized or until it is modified or ' repealed by the General Assembly. u-w Be it further ordained, That ,th,eiv.Clerk of this Convention shall transmit a copy of this ordinance to each Sheriff and County Court Clerk in the State immediately, after its, ratifica tion. ' " trr . ' . : OUTRAGES BY THE BLACKS. We would not by any means 'hold all the blacks responsible for the two reeehfcbrutal out rages some of their race have perpetrated upon highly respectable white men of i this county, but we say in all candor to the more intelligent of them that if these things go on. -they will kindle prejudice and hatred in the?' breasts of the whites against the whole racetbat it will be fearful to contemplate. It is evident that juany of the blacks neither apprecjae their free dom or their condition, but tbi, they have a vague idea that they can do as they please, even to the commission of unwarrantable violence on the persons of white men and women, and that they will be protected in it by the United States government and its officials- Now this is a great mistake, and one that will brove highly dangerous to them if persisted it; for while martial law continues the officers of the Govern ment are Strictly enjoined to punish lawlessness 'among all classes and colors, and they will per form their duty. -'And let the intelligent blacks who mean to obey the laws and try to deserve the esteem and secure the respect of the whites, exert themselves to the utmost to restrain and control the more ignorant and depraved of their own color. We abominate lynch law and mob violence, but if the blacks continue to commit these atrocious crimes-against L the whites if instances of .whipping and otherwise brutally treating white men and womenrhPcontinue to occur even the presence of armed forces will not be able to prevent summary and most terri ble retaliations; 'and if such a Wabf 'races be once inaugurated God only knows where it will stop. The recent outrage upon Mr Caswell Powell, by blocks, caused much bitter .feeling among our people, and now the attack upon Mr Parker and his wife on Saturday night." hrst only adds fuel to the flames. "The great mass "of the peo ple of North Carolina are disposed to treat the negro with justice and kindne?9, but if such acts of violence as these be continued,' the day will soon come when he will not have a friend amongst us.'- r - . ; It is a fearful thing to contemplate that a cit izen five miles from - this eity cannot1 retire at night without the fear of. being dragged from his bed. by negroes before morning, and yet such is the condition of things, two cases having oc curred within tenor fifteen daga:!l And well as we believe the military agents j?ethe govern ment to be disposed towards oar people, we can not look for or hope for protection and security from these dangers, until civil hww.it entirely re stored and thoroughly enforced? and we trust the Legislature will act promptly io the matter on assembling. Raleigh Progreis.. .. Toe Cholera. The appearance of the cholera at Southampton, in England, ii port from which there is constant communication with New York by steamers, is a circumstance which should .not be passed over: in this coun try without notice Hitherto it has been hoped that England would escape the '-pestilence dur ing the present year, at least, and a retrogade movement of the disease on 4he-' continent of Europe was spoken of with confidence. It ap pears, however, that it has not sensibly abated in the 3Jediterancan ports, and "3 invasion of England may well be looked "updh with alarm The cool autumn weather may restrain its viru-1 Jence, but in the seaport towns-and thickly-settled cities it will find snug places of habitation, where it may abide during the entire 'winter. .We can scarcely hope to escape a visit from this unwelcome guest next year, and it may be among ns . before 1865 is cnrbered with the years that have gone.
