Cotton removed Wider bond prior to September, is taxed 3 cents, j and the tax is a lien on an cotton uu iue o paCIas A is Cotton upon which tax has been PCIass B is Cotton removed from district of production with tax unpaid. Class C is Cottoo removed from point to point in the district where produced before payment of tax. Cotton must be described by these designa tions in bills of lading, waybills, manifests and permits. Kach Assessor is required to keep account with each cotton producer in bis district. As sessors at receiving points shall keep account with each receiver. An Assessor or Assistant, Collector or As sistant Collector, is required at places where cotton is weighed and marked, to use metalic tags for marking. In caee tags be furnished Assessors by the department, on each tag will be stamped a letter, a number in figures and 4,U. S. internal revenue." These tags will be put up in packages of fifty, numbered in consecutive order, and Assessors must be very particular to use them in regular order as from one to fifty, fifty to a hundred, &c, as the case may be, on each lot of cotton weighed and marked. The owner can have cotton weighed or marked at any point in the district by paying the travel ing expenses of officers. Disagreements may be referred to the com missioner of Internal revenue, but officers must Dot delay in proceeding to weigh cotton on ac count of disputes regarding expense of same. Owners may dispense with the official weighers by providing all manual labor, but in all cases, the Atsessor or Assistant Assessor must see cotton weighed and marked. This process does not require the immediate payment cf tax. Cotton can be held within the district without payment of the tax, unless sold for consumption within the district. Withdrawal for transpor tation, under bills of lading or upon payment of tax, can be made any time. The Secretary of the Treasury appoints Weighers. Applications and recommeudaiions should come through Assessors of the respective districts and be addressed to the Commissi jner of Internal Revenue. Weighers must take the oath of office prescribed by Congress, July 2, 18G2 Each bale shall be marked gross weight with ink or paint, in large letters. Metalic tags, hereafter described, shall be fixed to each bale by the Assessor or Assistant Assessor. Weighers must make daily returns to Assessors. The fee for weighing is twenty-Eve cents per bale, the owner furnishing metalic tag. The owner is to pay the fee. Assessors mu6t see that tags are used and inserted at the time of weighing and marking, except in the cases hereinafter men tioned. The letter and number on each tag must be accurately entered iT5 the record kept by Assessors and in the account kept by him with each owner, holder or producer of cotton, and permits, whether issued by the Assessor, or "Collector, for the removal of cotton, must clearly specify the letter and number for each bale, so that thero may be no trouble in identification. When the numbers are consecutive, it will suffice to enter both on record and permit the first acd last number to answer. Thus for a lot of fifty bales the entry may be letter A, Nos. 101 to 160. Collectors, whenever tax is paid on cotton previously weighed, marked and tagged, will mark or cause to be marked upon each bale, with brush and ink, or paint, in large letters, the words "Tax paid." Under section 4, act of July, 18C6, cotton may be removed from the district in which pro duced to another district, without prepayment of tax, under bond or other security to be prescribed by the Commissioner of Internal Revenue, sub ject to the appioval of the Secretary of the Treasury. It having been found by experience that the famishing of increased facilities for the removal of cotton, without prepayment of the tax, is con sistent with increased security to the Treasury, it is determined to substitute shipments to reve nue officers, under bills of lading, for bonds heretofore required. Accordingly, the owner or other holder of cotton which he desires to remove from the district of production to an other district, without prepayment of tax, will hereafter be required to obtaio a bill of lading in duplicate, signed by a well known, regularly established, responsible transportation company, consigning the cottoo to the Collector of the district of destination, for delivery to the factor or agent of the owner after paymeot of the tax The transportation company signing such bills of lading will be required to furnish the Assessor of the district in which it is received, port or point of destination, immediately after arrival, a copy of their manifest or way-bill, so far as it relates to any cotton transported by them, and stating therein whether the cotton is class A, B, or C, as hereinbefore required. Kach Assessor will keep an account of all cotton entered upon the copies of manifests and way-bills so furnished to him Should any transportation company refuse or neglect to furnish tbe Assessor with a copy of the manliest or way-bill, as above required, tbe Assessor will immediately notify all Assessors on the line of such transportation company, of such neglect or refusal, acd thereafter no permit or other order lor the transportation of cotton by such company will be granted by any Assessor or Assistant Assessor, without permission to do 60 being obtained from the commissioner of In ternal Revenue. Before the cotton is shipped the owner or the holder will apply to the As sessor or nearest Assistant Assessor of the dis trict in which the cotton was produced, for a permit to remove. This application must de scribe the cottoo by the marks placed upon the bales and give the weight of each, and must also state by what route and mode of convevance it is proposed to transport, and the name of the transportation company, with the name of the Collector to whom it is to be consigned, and of the factor or agent to whom it is to be delivered on payment of tbe tax. The net weight will be ascertained by deducting 4 per cent, for tbe tare from the gross weight. vne copy oi ms verwucaie must uo irBuSui.ucU ( pernm 01 tne Collector of said dUtrict to a nUce to the Collector of the district and the other or port in another district, where it may be de ewpy must be delivered to the Assessor.

It will be the duty of the consignor of the cotton to obtain duplicate bills of lading and band or send them forthwith to the Assessor who issued the permit, and said Assessor will keep one copy and immediately mail the other copy to the Collector of the district to which the cotton is consigned. Should the consignor fail within a reasonable time to furnish the As sessor with duplicate bills of lading as required, said Assessor will immediately ascertain tbe cause of failure, and if be shall find that tbe cotton has left tbe district, bo may immediately assess tax thereon, and unless satisfactory and proper explanation of the failure be given, be will thereafter issue no other permits to the per son so in default. Upon the arrival of the cotton at the place of destination, the transportation company must deliver it, together with the per mit of the Assessor, to the Collector of Internal Revenue to whom the cotton is consigned, and at the same time the company must deliver to the Assessor of tbe receiving district the ac companying metalic tags, if any are sent unat tached to tbe bales, together with a copy of their manifest or way bills, so far as the same relate to cottOH, an account of which must be kept by said Assessor, as hereinafter directed. Section 4 of the act of July, 1866, requires that cotton removed without prepayment of tax shall be delivered to the Collector of Internal Revenue forthwith upon its arrival at its point of destination, and shall remain subject to his control until the taxes thereon and any neces sary charges of custody thereof shall have been paid, which payment must be made within 90 days from trie date of the permit granted by the Assessor for the removal of the cotton. Under this provision of the law the Collector, immediately upon the delivery of the cotton to him by the transportation company, will dispose of the cotton and accompanying permit of the Assessor in the following manner, viz: If the cotton was not officially weighed and tagged in the shipping district, the Collector will have it weighed by the officer appointed for that pur pose, whose duty it will be to affix the accom panying tags, to be delivered to him by the As sessor, and to mark on each bale the gross weight, as hereinafter directed. In such case the weigher will make duplicate certificates of the weights and deliver one copy of the certificate to his Collector and tbe other copy to the As sessor of the same district, and will be required to pay to said Assessor tbe sum of five cents for each metalic tag delivered to him for the pur pose of marking the bales so weighed, which sum the Assessor will dispose of as elsewhere directed. Whether the co.'ton was weighed aod tagged in the shipping or in the receiving dis trict, the Collector will require the tax to be paid before he allows the cotton to go out of his possession and custody. If tbe tax is paid im mediately, the Collector will, on the same day, deliver or forward to his Assessor the accom panying permit of the Assessor by whom the re moval was permitted, after endorsing thereon the certificate of the payment of the tax. In . -tit -ii case the tax is not paid immediately and the cotton is held and stored by the Collector as hereinafter directed, he will deliver to his As sessor the accompanying permit as above direct ed, but changing the certificate so as to road as follows, viz: I hereby certify that the tax on tbe within described cotton, amounting to dollars, not having been paid, I have stored the cotton and now hold a warehouse receipt of for the same. Tbe Assessor on receiving said permit, with the endorsement of the Col lector, will make the proper entries on his ac count of tbe cotton received, and will then transmit tbe permit to the Collector of tho dis trict in which it was issued. hen the Collec tor is obliged to retain the custody of tbe cot ton consigned to him on account of the failure to pay the taxes, immediately on its arrival he shall cause the same to be stored in some suit able warehouse, the owner of which shall have given adequate security for the safe custody of such cotton, and shall take a warehouse receipt from such proprietor. Tbe charge for storage must not exceed the usual rates. The Collector will in no case permit the owner of cotton, his agent or factor, to have actual possession of the same until tbe tax shall have been fully paid. If tbe tax is paid before the expiration of 90 days from the date of the Assessor's permit, the amount will be reported. If the tax is not paid before the expiration of 90 days from the date of the Assessor's permit, the Assessor will at once certify the tax to the Collector for collec tion, and if necessary the Collector will enforce the collection by distraint and sale of the cot ton. In such case the Assessor will enter the tax on his next monthly list, and both he and the Collector will enter the proper credit in the bonded account under the heading of "collected by distraint and sale of cotton." Whenever the tax is paid on cotton shipped under bills of lading, the Collector receiving it will deliver to the proper person his certificate of paymeot and the permit for removal. The following words must be printed or written in red ink across the face of the permit, viz: this permit authorizes the transportation of such bales of cotton only as bear metalic tags, lettered and numbered as herein described. In case it should be desired to export a part of said cotton and ship a part to another port io the United States, the Collector may give sep aratfeertificates and permits to cover each lot. In such case the permit covering the lot to1e exported must be delivered to and taken up by the Collector of customs at the port of exporta tion, who, after cancelling the same, will trans mit it to the Assessor of .the district in which it wa3 issued. The permit covering the quantity to be shipped to a port in the United States must be delivered to the Collector of the dis trict in which such port is situated before the landing, discharging or delivery of such cotton at the place of destination can be permitted, and said Collector will, after canceling it, transmit said permit to tbe Assessor of the district in which it was issued. Substantially the same course will be taken wuu cotton removed from the d ....... ul uiuuUV- lion, after the narmoni nf tho o i ... j. " Miiuer h sinme is situated, and he may issue new permits cover ing the separate lots, which must be' taken up -by the Collector of Customs or the Collector of In ternal Revenue, as .the case may bey as above directed, cancelled and returned to the Assessor of the district in which said permits were issued. The original permit, as above named must like wise be cancelled and returned by the Collector who takes it up to the Assessor of the district in which it was issued. .v, The following words must be written or prin ted in red ink across tbe face of tbe permit, viz: this permit authorizes the transportation of such bales of cotton only as bear metalic tags, lettered and numbered as herein descriled. Any person who violates these provisions, or who conveys, or attempts to convey,' from any State iu which cotton is produced, to any port or place without the United States, any cotton up on which tbe tax has uot been paid, is liable toa penalty of one hundred dollars for each bale of cotton so conveyed or transported, or attempted to be conveyed or transported, or to imprison ment for not more than one year or both; and all vessels and vehicles employed in such conveyance or transportation are liable to seizure and forfeit ure by proceedings in any court of the United States having competent jurisdiction; and all cot ton so shipped or transported, without payment of the tax or the execution of transpoitation bonds may be forfeited to the United Slates. , . - Assessors and Collectors are strictly. enjoiiied to rigidly enforce the provisions of this section-. WASHINGTON ITEMS. Mr Mallory, secretary of the late Confederate navy, has been pardoned. From an authoritative source it is learned that the President will shortly pardon Alex ander H. Stephens, late Vice-President of the Confederacy, upon the recommendation of per sons of influence and distinguished position. Gen. Sickles has formally applied for a Court of Inquiry regarding his removal from the com mand of the Second Military District, and Gen. Grant has recommended that one be granted bim. Congress convenes in little more than seven weeks, but long before that time the President will have the charge and reasons for suspending Secretary Stanton from the War Department ready for submission to the Senate as required by the Civil Tenure of Office law. The case made out by the President is an exceedingly strong one, and the Senate will find itself en lightened in matters it little dreams of when it receives the documents in the premises. Intelligence has been received here to the effect that the wealthier classes of tho people of North and South Carolina have petitioned Gen Cuiiby, now in command there, to continue in force Gen. Sickles' Order No. 10. Tbey repre-; sent that if it is rescinded the effect will be to beggar them, because if their land is put up at public sale under the present depressed condi tion of affairs there, it will not bring one-half its real value. The petition has been widely cir culated throughout the two States, and is said to be numerously signed by prominent men, as well among the negroes as the white land owners. General Can by is not disposed, it is said, to undo any of the acts of his predecessor. It is said that Thad. Stevens has the dropsy -of tbe chest. A bet was made in Washington, of $4,000, that the Democrats would gain a victory fu Pennsylvania. 2 The End of the World. It is said that the famous Dr Cunmiing has found out an error in the calculations of the Great Miller, who ran so many of the American people crazy some twenty five years ago about the near approach of :the judgement day. We remember that many of his disciples went out into the graveyards on the appointed night, and wrapped up in long while robes, awaited the blast of Gabriel's trump It did not sound, however, and so they came home and went about their business. Miller then put off the final day for two years longer, and then nine, announcing that each year prophesied would be positively the last appear ance of man on this earth. Of course he had believers euough to credit anything he chose to foretell, and on their credulity he made a hand some support by his paper and the contributions of the faithful. "" - Miller died long ago, and his prophecies had died out when this famous Doctor Gumming, the sensation preacher of London, took up Miller's calculations, and by a more exact calculation, detected an error of only about a million of years or thereabouts. . Some people, however, are rather disposed to believe that old Miller was not so far wrongr after all, for that the .signs of the times all over the world are most portentous, and that the period spoken of in thRevelations is near at hand, when the Devil is to be let loose over the world and reign a thousand years. m Foreign Items. A collision has occurred at Limerick, between the people and soldiers Seven of the former were bayonetled and one is dea.I. Tbe soldiers conduct is condemned The Roman Government is concentrating troops. Italy is sending troops to the frontier. Troops have left France for Rome. : - A Florence dispatch says that Garibaldi baa been captured by the Italian forces, when Cross ing the frontier, and is confined in AHesFartdrjia, with his Italian companions as prisoners. There is intense excitement. ' ! Bismarck has declared, in North German Par liament, that if the German nation wished 'tor unite, there is do power strong enough topreYent tue union. - Headquartebs, 2i Military District, Charleston, S C , Sept. 13, 1867.

' '" ; ' ' " . " ' Vv B6MABHABLE ELOPEMENT. ? 'We published from the Richmond Examiner a paragraph entitled "An Eloping Party on the Danville Railroad," in which it was stated that a Mr Walker and Mrs Solomon, of North Caro lina, were the principals, and that they stopped at Burkeville, and owing to the receipt of some dispatch, retraced their steps, returning by the Danville road, stopping a short while in Greens boro' and then proceeding by an ambulance in-J to the country to some place unknown. We have since learned that the elopement took place from Buffalo Springs, and that the Mrs Solomon is the wife of Mr V. P. Solomon, of Brinkleyville, N. C, a prominent man in his county, and a lawyer of some distinction, being the prosecuting attorney for his county. His wife, formerly a Miss Brinkley, belonged to one of tbe wealthiest families in the State, one of the first families in fact, and heretofore of unblemished reputation. Walker had been clerk, and afterwards partner of 31 r Solomon. Mr S. had been married about ten years, and is a gentleman noted for his kindness and his de votion to his wife, who was young and delicate. She was an invalid at Buffalo Springs, and the manner of the elorjement is described by a ser vant girl as follows: At a late hour on Saturday night, the 14th, Walker arrived at Buffalo, in a carriage. It was raining very hard. He immediately went to Mrs. Solomon's cabin, woke her up, and said that he had come for her to take her home; that Mr Solomon was very ill too ill to write that he had a carriage ready for her aod that she must not delay. Mrs. Solomon expressed con siderable surprise, and would not at first con sent to go. The proprietor of the Springs, be ing apprized of Walker's errand, refused to al low Mrs. Solomon to leave, she having beeo left io his charge by her husband. But Walker managed to work upon the fears and anxieties of the lady to such an extent that .she finally consented. While they were preparing the baggage, Walker sent out for a couple of juleps, and the servant girl here states that she saw him put something in one of them acd handed it to Mrs Salomon, and she drank it. Soon af ter, ihe party, includiog the servant, got iu tho carriage and drove off, stopping for the night at a country house, kept by a Mr Moon. Mrs. Solomon was in a delirious condition all night, the girl remaining with her. Next day, they continued their journey, stopping at Burkeville. Here Walker pretended that he was going to Petersburg, and leaving Mrs Solomon at tbe hotel, took the servant to the depot, made some show of having his baggage checked, waited till the down train came along, forced the ser vant on board, telling her to stop at the Bol lingbrook Hotel and that they would follow next day, Mrs. Solomon being now too ill to travel. The girl arrived here and remained up to yestciday. Mr Solomon arrived in this city on Sunday morning, having been apprized of his wife's departure with Walker. His first im pulse was to give pursuit, but after consultation with bis friends here, he has concluded to drop the matter and return home.' lie is naturally in a distressed condition of mind, and at first was disposed to use every exertion to overtake the fugitives,, but he is satisfied from facts that have come to his knowledge that all further ac tion will be futile on his part. Some days prior to the elopement,. Walker stopped in this city, having with him several thousand of dollars, which he deposited during his stay in tbe safe at the Bollingbrook Hotel He mentioned it as hi.s intention of taking a trip to Europe, whither, perhaps, he snd his deceived inamorata are now taking their flight.
