A gentleman vho arrived ya Mobile Wednes day night, says the Advertiser and Register, of the 25th, confirms iu general the accounts from Mississippi, and adds some interesting items. He reports on the authority of Yankee prisoners at Enterprise, that Ilurlbun'a corps is retiring on Y..zoo City, and McPherson's on Natchc-/. The prisoners attribute the fail ure of the exptditidu to the fac^that Grierson and Logan were unable to moke a junction with Sherm in a- Meridian. We do. not un derstu.'id Logan's; w!icreubi..u?s, b::t Grierson i came by Por.totoc. We arc ass'irc-J that Gen. Forrest whipped Grierson roundly ai Tibboe, takiug a considerable number of prisoners, and ttie 1 ttter retreated in ibo direction of North Alabama. Tho report of hts being at Abertleeu ?3 not fully substaa.iatt d. thc ugh there is a rum'or*!.bat ho has burned the town. The damage done to Ibo Mobile and Ohio railroad extends from Lauderdale to t?ro miles below Qu.trnan, a distance of forty sis miles; a'l tue br.dges and tr ?tie work being dost ruy ed. and tie track toro up for miles at inter val, as is elsewhere atatcd. Everything at Lauderdale Springs was destroyed. The Souther^ road 'ix completely torn up, from Jackson to Meridian. Our informant states'that the enemy com mitted few depredations upon private proper ty, beyond helpiug theTnselvc* to provisions. At Quitman they.took bod colhing, but their excuse was that they were misinformed as to the distance, and came without blankets, expecting to return the same day. They are supposed to have carried oil' about 800 ne groes, selecting the likeliest, and iu one or two initauces driving back some lots that they did not consider eligible. Some persons about'Enterprise took the j Yankee oath, and accompanied them on their ( retreat, bat this was entirely voluntary, no attempt was made to enforce it. ^ The brigade that visited Quit?aa convcrs ed freely of their plans, and inquired if there ! was not an attack going on upon the forts i below Mobile. They understood that to be j a part of the programme, the object lieiny to j divert the t oufederate forces. They snid i they h*d no intention of moving against Mo- j bile, and their excursion'toKJuitman was only | for the purpose of destroying thc bridge over < the Chickasahay, to prevent trooaaJrom cora ing up the rosd. Their plan, W gathered from their movements and conversation and ; froro thc stat'.nifnts of prisoner*, was, after ? 1 uniting with Gtierson and Liga% to move . upou Sel tua and Montgomery. Accordir.? ! to tho prisoners, their ucxt scheme is to hasf-i ten back to Grant and march upon Columbia, Soulh Carolina. _ The editor of.the.Selma -Dispatch.-of-thc 25th* learns from thc editor of thc Montgom ery Mail on Weduesday night laatj intelli gence of the most cheering character from our anny operations in Mississippi. Thc editor ol the Mail is just from the liront and reports a general retrogrado movement of thc foe, the result of which?will bc a rx\Ai restoration^ the ground latelv abandoned by Gen. Polk's army. Thc rc foubUote Forrest has also cjme down with an eagle swcop upon thc brigand Grierson, driving bim eight miles, with more than ordinary havoc and confusion.' / *3U thu stage of inn fight Gen. Lee was wit!.in fo?r miles of a junction with Forrest, wWoii was doubtless made, eventuating in still further destruction lo^he Yaukoe forces. ThaT thc threatening attitndo of the foe bas b?en greatly lowered and his boastful menaces relieved of aH the alarm they nt first created in the minds of our commanders will, vre think, ba made apparent in a day or so by a new dit-position of toops, the details of which, though not unknown to usu cannot be dis cloed. lu conclusion, wo ti ay say ibo gloom which Iris lately enveloped our cause in Mis sis.-ippi ha? changed it; sombre hue, and in s'ea't ut defeat and despair we have now high hopes andjuvigorated energies.

Congress bas produced a ci roney bill, which, notwithstanding its striogen and inconvenience, is already beginning to wo successfully. Our people have cried out for leg; latior. to rave tho country, taxation to meet 0 prodigious expenses, a diminution of the curre ey, an increaso in the army.

But if this currency bill of Co gross should fail In its desired effect-though 1 have noi the most distant idea that It will fail then we must oarry on the war without a currane And this is by no means so difficult a matter ' most men suppose. Gold is neithor moat ni drink, nor does it " cover a man all ovor like blanket." It is only the means of getting th meat and drink, hut it is not tho only-means.

The instructions i.sucd from this" ofiioo, and .lated 23d December, 1SG3, aro hereby revoked, and the following are istue? ih lien tborcof ; 1st Tho inoomo of farmers and planters, iTcriv e 1 from the salo of producta not taxed in kind' aud produced by themselves, will bc liablo to tax without any deduction, provided their taxable income, from all sources, is moro than $500. If a farmer or planter has no other taxable income than that derived from the sale of poultry, mut ton, butter, eggs, and other of his products not taxed in kind, and such income docs not amount io more than $500 during tho calendar year, such farmer or planter will not bc subject to any iu como tax. 2d. Whore real or personal property bas bec? purchased prior to aa? sold during tho calendar year 1863, thc liability*of the proceeds of sale to tho incomo tay under paragraph five, section eight,, depends JU the fact, whether the property has been dealt with as merchandize. If purchased with a view to permanent investment; its sale is ouly a chango of capital, and tho. proceed* arc not subject to the income tax. Neither arc they subject to meh tax ;f tho property wa3 acquired b3* girt, devis.0, inheritance.' ex tho Uk?. If tho. properly was purchased with a view to resale or to speculative advance of prices, the proceeds aro subject to the tax, after deducting the prime cost and particular charges specified in Haid paragraph. If real property BO purchased and sold has bseu improved hy the erection of buildings, mills, factor?a?, or other maohiiiery attached to (bo freehold, th? prime cost of tho improvements made by Iks "?ller prior to 1st day of January, 1863, ac well os the prime cost of the real proper ty itself, ?hall be doducrcd from the proceeds of sale, end the balance will be the income. * 3d. The proceeds of the salo cf agricultura! products producod prior to 1863, ?iud suld by the producor during that year, ate not ia bo taxed'aa . income, because they f>ro iueorao derived from ag ricultural operations in some year previous, and not duj:iu,g tiie calendar year 1363. 4vh. In estimating thejirofite on the proceeds of the sile of slaves or o',hur pcrsanal property, purchased prior to the 1st day of January, 1363, or since, and sold during eaH year, the priino cost and such other it.ems as the tax-payer may be en titled to deduct under paragraph five, section eight, and none other, shall bc deducted Ironi the gross ?ales, and the balance shall bc income. 5th. Tho procoeds of thc sale of estatejt by oxx eeutors, administrators, guardians, and ether fidu ciaries, shall not bc regarded and taxed as ineoruo, for the reason that ju,ch. a sale is a mere chang? of oapita] mr,.i<> hy requirements of the law. f>ih. In ascc:-taiuing tho incense derided fr??? any manufacturing business, the gros? valuo ef tho whole of the products of the year must he estima ted. If h. part bas been sold, and a part remains on build, thc valuo of the latter must be estimated and added to the proceeds of sale of the former, ?ind thc sum will constitute, tho* gross vahe of tho products of thc year, from which th?*itents mimed 'in paragraph two, section eight, will be deducted, and tho balance will be ?he income to l>e ?axed. So the nott jVaiiUf of thc manufacturer's yearly products, is subject to tho ineome tax, whether tho products have been poid or not. Approved, THOMPSON ALLAN, CoMttttMiOMci* oj' Ture*. C. Ci.
