Now to find out your tax due on June l^t. refer to

People who part with their notes will find out loo late

Bahk ABRANoaMBHTs.—The Baakaof Rrchmond have
held a meetitig «ad resolved to continue to receive and
pay out Confederate notes until the 26ih March; but
from that day till th^ 1st of April they will neither re-
«oive deposits nor p-y checks. And all baliinces un
drawn befsre the 2ftih March will be paid to the depos

To* Balkioh Standard Scspk-^dxd —Th« readers
of the Standard were enrprised to find tbe following in
its issue of Tnesdav last;—
“TAt Standard Suspended.—The publjoatiou of the

This movement appears to have surprised the public
in Raleigh as much as it did here, for the Confederate
asksV'^hat does it mean*”
Some auriosity Is manifested as to tlie oause of this
unexpeofeJ movement. Singularly enough, the i^taad-
ard gives no reason for it. Refraining Irom npecula-
tioHS About if, it may not be improper to say, that it
oannot be op aecount of the authorised suspension of
tbeAairti# CL>rptr,for more stringent laws have twice been
passed by t’ongp*-rs. and y^ the S'andard did not su«-
pend on either occasion. The first law, passed.^oon af
ter the organitation of the Permanent Oovemment, ab-
si^lutely an-^ totally susp-’niel the ^rit till after the

PbOVISIOS ^oa THE Ikdjob.nt Fa.milixs op Holdibb*.
—Wa mentioned some weeks ago 'bat the provision
made in^ thia county for assisting tbe families of soldiers
waa so liberal that the poor of this county, by their own
confession, “bad never been so weU provided for as
since the war.” The Raleigb Standa'd did not beiii^re
•this—of course. It knew nothin«r about if, but what of
that? Those who informed us did kcow, but what of
that too* The Standard was simply unwilling that the
fact should be as wc stated it, and •determined that the
poor thns assisted should neither be grateful nor satis
fied. Hence its doubts.
An incident majstioaed by the North Carolinian of
Tuesday last may help to enlighten the Standard Ve
bear of a good many other qaeer oocarrences in town,
but tbe following will sufi&oe The Carolinian sayB:
••Poor women, who have been reoeiving from the
oounty money and corn for their support and bread,
were running up and down the streets trying to get
small change far fifty an i one hundred dollar bills .”
SuoAK —It is stated in an Albany (N. Y.) paper, that
when the navigation of the Mississippi w-ts closed, tbe
yaakees took immediate steps to supply a substitute for
the sugar which the Western States had usually pro
cured by that route, and it is estimated that .5,000,000
gallons of sorghum sirup were produced in the West
last year. They are endeavoring to find a mode of re
fining sugar from the sirup, ip which they will doubt
less suocted.
Besides this, tbe yanke«\ government procured from
tlurope last Spring, seed'* of the various kinds of sugar
beet, and distributed them through a range of 200 miles
in lllineip, so as to ascertain the kind of soil and oli-
mate beet adapted to their growth. Tbe result is eaid
to have been most gratifying •
Beet sugar is said to t>e the mos* important crop in
France, 148,000 tons having been produced in 1861,
against ‘.i.ftOO tons in 18!10. Jn aU Etrrope, 200,000
tons, worth $40,000,00ft, were made in IbtiJ.
These faatn may nerve aa hinte to come of ttie Con
federate Slat«fi, in this time of scarcity of sugar and
molas9e.'«. ^

He says:—
••I think the whole company of classical teaobors
throughout the length and breadth of the Southern
Cenfederaoy will have abundant ciiuse to acknowledge
great obligation to the author. The work may be suc-
cintly dc-scribed as embracing multum in ptrvo: under-
the guidance ef judicious instruction it cjn'aina ttxe
substance of ;1ameDtary preparation in all those indis
pensable parts, tfatit mubt be committed to memory;
furnishes suffioieRt ropia verborum in aid of written
exeriiises; and extraotfl enough from Latin writers of
the golden age of Roman literature to serve as first les
sons in reading All this is achieved in a lucid style
within the compass of fewer pages .than were contained
in the grammars formerly, and still partially, used »-
mong us. This assertion of course implies the pruning
of much rednudanoy; and suoh is tbe striking and ori

His constitution ^aa sinking and bii- frlsTvls predicted
bis early dis«olution. He was bo'veve*- socn .'ound in
ihe nicrcaniile bHsineas, for he had a i-es'lres spirit that
would not admit of idleness.
He had not been tbus engaged long when we were
8t«rtled by a proelamation trom the 1‘residect of the
United States, and A call for oeventy-flve theueand.
North Caroliniens to enforce obedience to the United
States government. Serg't Coggin responded to the
call, swore fealty anew to tho Confederate etiuse and
marched to Virginia, where liberty was to be bought
with bioo«l.
5oi e of bis friends bad been advised of his intention
to volunteer, and remembering his delicate condition
persuaded him to desist
-His answer was I ara aware that uiy oonH’ftutlon is
shatiered and flimsy, but 1 am not warranted saying
that I am ineapable o doing good in (he army; the
freedom and welfare of our country dpmands.our whole
strength, then let me die rather than act dishonorably.
He went to the army; where be continued to suffer and
meltawajiunder consumption; he marched on, fought on,
suffered on he asked no promotion, would sccept no
promotion but the proi?»otion of bis ctu^e, for acting as
a private he oonld best teach his comrades to observe
orders, love discipline and ro act the patriot who fights
from principle and not for position or any other minor
consideration
On our way to Maryland and Pennsylvania 1 fre
quently availed myself of tbe pleasure and benefit of
his company;*we very often discussed the prospects of
our eouutry I always found that he had unbounded
confidence in onr commanders and tbe justness of our
cause, and feU eure of ultiBiate success His brave
heart was always stored with words to cheer and com-
forf me 4
During our last 80^al confab in Pennsylvania, tbe
merits of Gen- Lee’s order respecting privat> property
in the enemy's country was introduocd and fully dis
cussed, an order which heaven would approve and men
would surely observe. By long and.fatigueing marehes
and inclement weather poor George was alarmingly re
duced; and when I would look upon bis slender and
emaciated form I would wonder how he kept along, but
he had a will to be free and his spirit wss nnonnquer-
^ble Let delinquent soldiers blueh and hang their
guilty heads.
Notwithstanding bis feeble health he was alwtTS in
the van and stintnlated by entbusiasRi and devotion to
bis cause, he found biihself equal to the most -trying
difficulties We have reached Qettysbarg and now the
ordeal wbioh tries the souls of men. We had Eucceeded
in dtnying the enemy at. every charge until they took
their*final stand and marshalled theix-entire strength
for the decisive confiict. Here while mariBg tbe last

sutoing tbe present amount of oircula'.iou at $760,-

item abstrsotion of all the $100 notes This may
be safely anticipated between the present time and fhe
1st of April next Tb» rrovinions of .sect ons 3 and 4,
of the act, will infallibly secure that. The next »Ie-
meb of depletion will be t)>r amount funded in 4 per
coot, stook prior to the 1st April It mijrht be sup
posed, at a casual ^Unoe, that sir all results are to be
expected from this source; fo** the reason that the inter
est b»-!ng only 4 per cent, it would be as great a sacrifice
to Rieke such an investment as to await the tar of 33i
per c«nt. on the ntirrenoy, to be imposed'on fhe 1st o!
April But ihxb is an error. Soctiun 2 mikes a great
difference in the value of the bonds and of the notes,
for ‘bou^s of fhe yra” 1864. The bonds are receivable
scooriting to their face, in payment of all Government
dues for 1864, while fhe curre'toy, after the 1st of April,
will be subjected to a lax or discount of one-third r*up-
pose, for example, a citizen should owe'ft tax to the
Government, on the 1st of Ju’y, of 20*>0 dollars. By
investing that amount of the pr.'sent' cnrrenc? in a
Tre/isury bond, at any time between the present anrt
tbe 1st of April, be will have tiio means of paying his
tax withou'* loss. But, if he fail te provide binisplf
with aucb a bond, and present himself, currency in
han'I^ to the collector, it will require 301K) dollars of tbe
same enrrency to pay the tax of $2000. It is not
to be supposed that men i^ll be so negligent of their in-
terest.s to fail to invest in 4 per cent bonds at leaat
enough to meet their anticipated taxes If any indi
viduals ooncerued shall be too dull or carelesB to make
sucb provision, capitalists will do it for them, and make
them pay a large premium for Ibesr neglect »
Tbenmount which will be invested as a provision for
paying ttixes may be copjcctured from the probable
amount of taxes to be paid daring the year. In the
last rt'port of the Secretary of tbe Tr*a8urr the pro
ceeds of the tax on incomes, profits, &o., levied in April,
186S, and still in force, are estimated at f 100,000,1X30
prr i^num. • The taxes juft imposed are in addition to
these. A tax of firs per cent, on real and personal es
tate, is estimated in the same report, ae promising a
gross revenue of $180,000,000. But the late tsx act
does more than levy a tax of five per oent on real and
persoaal eslat.e It lays t^eavy addition®.! duties on
profits, and duties higher than 6 per cejst on some ar
ticles The tax laws of April, 1868, and February,
1864, in their combined lotion, wiU not, j>robably,
yield l^ss than $300,0(t0.000 during the present year
