A Sad Accident.
We again have to chroucle another of those
sad ccarrences which have become so distressingly
frequent. We arc pained to hear ol
such fatal accidents. On last Friday evening
J. M. Tr.rrt, a citizen of this place, while engnged
in loading a wagon ut the Rolling Mill,
seven miles below here, was shot by his own
pistol dropping from his pocket, and falling in
such a position as to cause its discharge, the
contents of which entered his right nostril, the
ball lodging in the region of the right eye. He
was then carried to the house of Ma. Wsi.
.Carlisle, where he died in a few minutes.
Charleston Dally Kcwx.
This valuable paper has been received, and
read with great interest. It is the first city
paper sent to us in exchange. Crowded with
matter of the freshest intelligence, and vitaliz
d by the inbreathings of every line of business,
and animated by every pulse of active life, we
regard it as an epitome of all that occurs with
in its wide range of intelligent thought and
ceaseless action. No advertising medium in
the 8tate is better. Wo would have been
pleased, and felt ourselves favored by n reciprocity
of that courtesy usually extended to us
by both Charleston and Columbia papers.
Charleston Merchants
We would respectfully and earnestly invite
the attention of our mcrehauts to the '-Card*'
of the wholesale dealers of the city of Charleston.
Though brief in its statements, it developes
an amount of truth and fair dealing which
we trust may tell upon the future prosperity of
our State. Its appeals are so interspersed
with feelings of patriotism?so iuibucd with
elevation of purpose, that we cannot refrain
from expressing our admiration of tho spirit
that prompts their actions, looking as they do
to the restoration of Charleston to its position
of pristine glory and beauty. Charleston,
heretofore, has not only been regarded as the
metropolis of our SlAte, but owing to its peculiar
commercial advantages, has ranked as
high as any mart of tho South, which a widespread
commerce has given to her enterprising
citizens. Having been the subject of bombardment
for many months, it will not surprise any
one, that in her material interests she has been
greatly and essentially damaged. The history
of the war just closed abounds in instances of
devastation to the interests of the Stale at large
?to the desolation of sections?the destruction
of tewus, and to the prostration of all her ngri.
cultural interosts and railroad facilities. In
view of these gloomy, wide-spread aspects, it
is refreshing to see men of energy rising from
tneir prostration, and proudly asking that
Charleston may be restored to her former com
roercial position by receiving thai ttadefroni
the merchants of the up-country, which would
otherwise flow into the hands of those whose
interests and sympathies are not so strongly
blended as those of the people of the "gallant
city" and tho up-country. Ilcr aggrandisement
is practicable. I.et the merchants of the
South try tho merchants of Charleston. Between
the ancient firms of that renowned city,
and the country merchants of South Carolina
once was formed the warmest friendship. We
irave fallen from overwhelming disasters from
war ; in pract, let us riso by mutual help by tho
preservation of intor-triule, harmony, and the
euH/ivation of new commercial relations.

of West Virginia for the adjustment of the

The Direct Tax.
Drab 8ib?In consequence of en article in c
your issue of Saturday last, under the caption *
of "Important to Tax-payers," a misapprchen- 1
sion seems to exist in the public mind as to n
what is to be regarded as United States Direct r<
Tax within the meaning of the Acts of Congress, _
approved August 5, 1881, and June 7, 1862. ?
This I simply desire to correct. 1
It is true that the entire amount of moneys ?
actually received by tile United Slates from I'
collections for taxes, sales of lands forfeited
for nonpayment of taxes, rents of lands bid in n
by the Government for military, naval, educational,
charitable and other purposes, under '
the above Acts, amended February C, 18W,
and from of lands uuder the lltli seclion
of the Act of 18G2. and to be received on n
army and naval certificates, issued under said 8
section, and the sums fcr interest, penalties and r
costs, tvi'-l reach the amount as stated in the ?
article referred to. Hut the entiro amount reccivcd
for the Direct Tax alone, up to Feb. 10,
18CG, docs not exceed the sum of one hundred
and eighty-five thousand dollars ; and amount
of tax levied upon the Parishes of St. Helena u
and St Luke, sold for nun payment thereof, is
eleven thousand five hundred and twenty-three
Gl-lUO dollars?a small portion of which land c
has since been redeemed from said sale by the 8
owners.
Whether the lands purchased under said sec- 8
tion may revert, in whole or in part, to the 1
Government, upon the failure of the purchasers .
to pay the large balance of upwards of two hun '
dred thousand dollars, to become due on the
same in 18G7 and 18G8, or whether, upon reverting,
such lands niay or may not he rest or- 8
cd te the former owners, under some general '
Act of Cougress, or whether the United States
Courts may or may not, as claimed by some of c
iiiu tunnel uwucr", tfUMiiiu ino lines mus ac*
quired by the purchasers, of course cannot now
be known. 1
Tlie quota of direct tax apportioned to the
State of ^outh Carolina is three hundred and 0
sixty-three thousand four hundred and seventy 1
07-100 dollars, and the amount of direct fax col- .
lectcd therefor is, as already stated, about one
hundred and eighty-five thousand dollars; and
if the above sum of eleven thousand live hundred
and twenty three tJI-MH) dollars is added to it, n
the nmount will t ken be one hundred and ninety ^
six thousand five hundred and twenty-three
01-100 dollars, leaving the sum of one hundred
and sixty six thousand nine hundred an 1 forty J"
seven 61-100 dollars still to be collected or accounted
for.
It is true (hat the aa.ount thus far realized
on the direct tax has beeu collected in Charleston
and the Islands and Parishes adjacent ?
that is to sty, in Charleston. Colleton and 11
Beaufort Districts?and that litis is but a small r
portion of (lie whole area of th? State, lltu n
when the report of the Comptroller General
(see pages 134, l'to, 130, and 137 of tho lieports
and Hesolutious, with the Jouraals of *
both I loupes of the Gcuera! Assembly of South
Carolina, sessions of 1860 nnd 1861) is exutnin- I1
ed. and it is found that the State valuation of "
lots in the Parishes of St. Phillip nnd St. Mi w
chacl is twenty two million nine hundred and 11
thirty five thousand live hundred and tifty
dollars, a sum upwards of three millions more 'J
than the valuation of all the lots and tracts ot ^
lanus in I lie remainder of the J>tate: and wlieu "
it is also foil ml that tiic entire valuation of the r
lots and lands in the Lower Division of the
Stale is thirty millions ninety thousand five
hundred and seven dollars, while the valuation
of the Upper Division of the State is but eleven ,?
million tour hundred aud forty tw > thousand \
eight hundred and twelve dollars?it is u t at g
all surprising that the above amount of direct ,|
tax should have been assessed and collected in ,|
the city of Cliarlc-'vu and the Islands ami
Parishes adjacent. v
Under the above Acts of Congress also, lands n
and lots actually occupied, of the value ol' five n
hundred dollars ami under, are wholly exempted f
froni this 11X; ami the number of these will be i
very large under the h?w valuation of the lands t
in the upper section of the State. .4
1'y inserting the above statement of facts j
you will much oblige your obedient servant,
