Sir: Your letter of the lith ultimo was
received some days ago and submitted to
the Secretary of the Treasury, lu my hot-
ter accompanying yours, I expressed my
views as follows, to-wit : I have the honor
to submit a letter from Mr. l'opes and aud
ask your instructions. My own opinion is,
that a farmer will have iio right to a credit
upon the ad valorem tax upon his property
in on« district, by the value of the tithe
produced in another and separate planta-
tion in auolher district.
this increase of force is tot meant to be Aa ingenious Englishman has beeu per-

if forced upon a leluctant government

immediate and irreconediable establish-
ment ot Sonihem independet'ce. To-uio -
row the Hand of a new peace maker reti-
ring to the draft doubtless, will fall lieavi-
on Jiff. Davis' obstinacy.
Henry S. Fuote, member of Congiess
from Tennessee, was arrested ai Frede-
ricksburg, on the 12th oT January, wnile
attempting ti go over to the enemy. Pres-
ident Davis reported the matter to Con-
gress. Fooie is in custody of the War
Department. The New York Tribu e ays
that President Lincoln has declared that, if
Foote is harmed by rebels, t.o will biinj
live most distinguished reb'^i prisoners to
grief.

kind derived from plantation No. l,may
lawfully be credited upon the amount of
tax assessed upon that plantation and other
property employed in its culture, because,
according to the lauguag; of the act, it is
derived therefrom.
But no part of it is derived from planta-
tion No. 2, and the other property employ-
ed on it, aud no part of it can be credited
upon the ad valorem tax on No. 1, and
vice versa. Therefore, to take the case put
by Mr. Pope. A has agricultural property
in two districts, and has made separate re-
turn iu each district. In one district the
tithe runs very far over the ad valorem tax,
aud in the other it falls short.1 In the tirst
case, lie nan receive no credit beyond five
percent., and consequently one cancels the
other, and there will be no ad valorem tax
to pay in that district
But in the other, wnere the tithe falls
short, Mr. Pope thinks there should be a
credit allowed for the surplus tithe in the
tirst 'lamed district: i think uot, and 1
think it would bo contrary to the intention
of the law to allow it. Therefore, in the.
second case, the farmer must pay a money
tax upon the surplus, after deducting the
value of the tithe.
These views are approved by the Sec;

^Nbw Yobk, Jac. 14.—The World's
Washington special eays, the President
will issue a supplementary proclamation
after the fall of Charleston, increasing the
number and grade of officers excluded
from amnesty after a certain date, and in-
forming Jeff Davis and his supporter?, that
if they hold out long enough to compej the
raising of another army, no amnesty
whatever will be given, but if they lay
down their arms, they will be magnami-
nously treated. H. A.
Items of Interest.
The Secretary of War in hit very able
annual report, suggests a reform in con-
nection with "the cavalry service, which
is deemed very important, though likely
to require a very serious draft upon the
Treasury. He proposes to abolish the
practice, which has hitherto prevailed, of
requiring the men to provide their own
horses and leave the responsibility and
expenss upon the shoulders of the Gov
ernment. The present practice has given
rise to many abuses, and is said to be a
fruitful source of demoralization among
our troops. If a cavalier loses his horse,
he is dismounted and reduced to the rank?,
unless he can procure another, which is
often difficult and sometimes impossib'e.
Rather than submit to what he iegards a
degradation, he deserts, and in this way
the (roops are from time to time much re-
duced in number. It is highly probable
that Congress concurring with the Secre-
tary of War on this subject, will take the
necessary steps to remedy what is now
considered by many a very great evil, and
that the efficiency of the cavalry will be
maintained and promoted by their action
in the matter.
The French described the battle of Abou-
kir as a drawn battle. "Well," said Nel-
son, "they are quite right—only they drew
the blanks and we the prizes."
The newest Yankee notion i.4 a machine
by which a man can tell when he has be-
come sufficiently drunk. It is called the
, ' fuddleometer," and it operates by giving
a felbw a sharp punch in the ribs the mo-
ment he has got drink enough in his skin.
This invasion, among other things, has
demonstrated (says a correspondent of the
Augus^t Constitutionalist,) one fact, and
that is, the general devotion of our slaves
to their owners. Often upon the route in
the fear of the advancing armies, large
groups of faithful slaves could be seen
shouting with joy upon being able to es-
cape and return to "Old Master and Mis-
ses." Th,ese nigger-lovers, with unspeak-
able meanness, robbed the poor creatures
of all the money they had, and in some
instances of hats and shoes. Heaven
grant that the skill of our commanders,
with the burning courage of our men,
will strike a fatal blow to this "grand"
and remarkable "invasion!"
To tbis we may add, says the Maon
Telfgraph and Confederate, the significant
him to communicate the same to you.
Very respectfully,
Your obedient servant,
T. ALLAN, Com'r.
Lincoln's message was commented upon
by all the leading European Journals.
Nearly all of them were very severe in their
strictures upon the tone and character of
the document. We publish the following
comments male by the London Times on
19th and 20th of Dec.
The summary of Mr. Lincolu's message
to Congress received by the Asia, contains
little from which the people of the North
can llerife encouragement or consolation.
This the fourth year of the war and the po-
sition of the Government, military and fi-
nancial, is rapidly growing worse; yet the
predictions so often made, and always falsi-
fied by the events, are again hazarded with
as much confidence as ever. The question
between the South and North is one that
can be tried only by war, and decided only
by victory which must be in favor of the
strongest. On this point the North never
had the slightest doubt. The message effec-
tually destroys any expectation of peace.
Butler, it is supposed, spoke by official in-
spiration, but the message proves conclu-
sively that Butler was not the oracle the
public supposed.
As to confiscating estates, it is necessary
first to obtain the power of doing so. This
the Federal Government does not yet poss-
ess, and the mere threat of confiscation
gives the South the strongest possible mo-
tive to resist to the last extremity. But
considering that Mr. Liucoln can say no
more of the Federal military achievements
of the past year, than that the Northern
armies have lost no position they held at
the beginning of that period, the assumption
of the power to iafl ct punishment on ene-
mies who still defy the North, is rather ri-
diculous. The confident tone of the Mes-
sage is £ar from being justified by the for-
tune of the Federal arms If the military
intelligence is unfavorab'e, the official Re-
ports of the state of the Federal finances is
even more discouraging, or would be if
anything could affect a people so deaf to
the teaching of facts. Altogether the situ-
ation, even as depicted .in the Message and
the accompanying Reports, financial and
military, renders it the most uncomfortable
President's Address ever read in the Ame-
rican House ofRepresentatives. .
Prom the London Timet, December 20.
The only point of interest in President
Lincoln's bold Message is its disappoint-
ment of the expectations which prevailed
for some time before its delivery. In short,
the Message is chiefly remarkable as decla-
ring that Mr. Lincoln iu his second Presi-
dency will be precisely what ho has been for
the last four years. All we know is thnt he
will abide by the "platform'' set forth by
his friends previous to his re-election, lie
was chosen to continue the war,and it wi'l
not cease so long as he has the ability to
carry it on. So well has British neutrality
been maintained that there is not one point
which concerns this Empire, in his Mes-
sage, directly. The resolution of the Fed
eral Government to place an addition
force on the great lakes is not to be com
plained of. So long as the war laets it will
be the object of the Confederates to make
the British Provinces the basis off-omc kind
of operations against their enemy.
At regards the Canadian Authorities, we
hope and believe tbey will not fail to take
measures to prevent their territory being
made the basis of incursions into u friend-
ly State, and it is satisfactory to ees that
Mr. Lincoln acquits thein of being unjust
and unfriendly toward the Republic. If
by pUciLg gunboats on Lakes Out trio and
Erie lie ca i impede these enterprises, he
will only be engaged in an object ii which
the Bri '®h authorities will be boun I to
ai-Bist hio. But re gir.c-rely mm that
successful t'jau the couimou di.-anuaiueni
of the iwo Powers on theee iuUud waters,
as it is probable that in n short time the
military and naval defences of this great
frontier will pays iuto the hinds ot the
colonists themselves, we should see with
regret the probability of new burdens be-
ing imposed on an infant Stae which de-
sires only to purbue its peaceful way. Nor
cau we conceive what ueoeseity there ii
that the oco-teionil forays of a few adven-
turers should oe brought iu o connection
with "the question of continuing; or modi-
fying the rights of transit from Canada
through the United States, as well as the
regulation of imports, wnich was tempo-
rarily established by the R ciprojity Trea-
ty of 1854 "
As an experienced p iliiieian and a man
of common sense, Mr. Line >ln oann >t be-
lieve anything so absurd is that l'iesi-
dent Davis k epsan uawilling people in
rebellion to the Fedi-vil authority. He
tVe's that there is no hope of restoring the
Union, exefpt by a war s prol r.ged as io
exhaust the South in ni^n ;.s well as ma'e-
rial and money. An^ as iio must prepare
himself for such a war, he deals only iu a
general declaration of Ms uuchnnging
views, aud keeps as r.u-h as possible io
himself the present state and fatU 'e re
sources of the Northern armies.
Tlit Petersburg Express calls attention
to the following curious advertisement:
At the suggestion of several officers in the
Army of Northern Virginia, the under-
signed has determined to make a personal
effort among the officers and soldiers of
Gen. Lee's army, and the detached portion
ofit under Gen. Early, to Obtain the means
of constructing the Bird of Art. Being in
Petersburg at present, be will proceed im-
mediately to call upon the members of the
several divisions, brigades and regiments
and solicit contributions to this object ; and
if this appeal should bo generally and lib-
erally responded to, the successful accomp-
lishment of axial locomotion by man will
certainly be attained during tbo present
w inter, aud the military means be there by
obtained for settling outrageous war before
the second inauguration of Abraham Lin-
coln, on the 4th of March next.

The bogus Legislitme of Louisiana
blundered in their eff orts t > have that State
represented in the Yankee Senate. The
Louisiana correspondent of the Register
says : The Legislature in New Orleans, in
electing Mr. King Cutler in the United
States Senate, elected him "to till the un-
expired term of Hon. John Slidell," and
Mr. Smith, the St. Mary's carpenter, ti.fi 11
the unexpired term of Mr. Bjujaunn.
Three weeks afterwards it was discovered
that Mr. Slidell's "term" expired in 18-32
As; it was chronogically impo«sib!e to fill
an "unexp red" term which expired in
1862, Mr. Cutler's euemies (for even so
great a man as he is has enemies) claime 1
that the election was void. The Legisla-
tor •, however, interposed, and reuiov. d
this trifling objeotion by declaring Mr.
Cutler f beted, any way, to serve as long
as Mr. Slidell would have served if he had
not committed treason, (which would pro-
bably have leen all his life). A nioe as-
sembly of Statesmen is that Yankee Legis-
lature in New Orleans.
Harmes, the Richmond correspondent of
the Charleston Mercury writes :
Congress plods slowly altng. its princi-
ple business being in secret session. How
the habeas corpus is passing in the dark, we
shall learn only when the public servants
permit their masters, the public, to know.
We had not supposed, however, that much
time would have been lost in allaying the
uneasiness of our excited authorities.
No one contends that this isau able Con-
gress. There is no leader in either House,
and the men who once figured conspicuous-
ly iu council seem smitten with intellectual
and «noral palsy. How to obey the behests
of the Executive appears to be their chief
ambition. They are actuatedjby the best of
motives, but the wisdom of their policy may
be doubted. Divisions are to be deprecated
at a time like the present, but gross errors
ought always to be resisted. They lead to
ruin as certainly as dissentions.
Of all tiie delegations, that from South
Carobna is confessedly one of the best,
whether for intellect, soundness of political
doctrine or courage. Orr, Boycc aud Miles
are men of mark, and the rest stand well in
the eyes of their press. Virginia has good
names on her list, but they who know more
than myself say Baldwin and Wickhain arc
the only men who have any backbone. Ilol-
liday is makiug reputation a>: a fervid
speaker.
The public proceedings were so tame tiiat
they attract but little attention aud slim
audiences. The day of great speeches and
thronged galleries is past.
The Footc-Swan-embroglo tills up nearly
a broadside in one of the moi uing papers,
aud is certainly queer reading.
The Richmond Enquirer his no doubt
that an investigation of the superfl'icus
police and pawport system, win, which
the people have been tortured for the past
Ihree yeirs, would develop the cause of
most of the maUdies which so lou^ afll c •
