Fleass advise in News axd Heeald if phiz and smoking tobacco, cigars, cigarettes, cosmetics, proprietary medicines, bonght and in j stock, prior to Stamp Act, are enbiect' to any new tai? We country rnei chants are in the dark and any information given will be appreciated. A. VV. Ladd. Dawkins, S. C., July 9,18$$. Ife take pleasure in giving tbe information. We can safely say that onr>conntry merchants need give themselves no worry as far as tobacco in any form i? concerned. (I) The act requires dealers in leaf tofaacc? whose annual sales do not exceed fifty thoasand ponnds to pay an annual tax of six dollars, and where Ibt sales exceed fifty thousand pounds and do ?et exceed one hundred thousand pounds such dealers in leaf tobacco are rsquired to pay Jwelve dollars, and if their annual sales exceed one hundred thousand pounds they are required to pav twenty-four dollars. Onr country merchants handle manufactured tobacco, and do not come within the class of 4'dealers in leaf tobacce." (2) Dealers in tobacco whose annual sales exceed fifty thousand pounds shall each pay twelve dollars. The act defines ''dealers in tobacco" to be "every person whose business it is to sell, or offer for sale, manufactured tobacco. Provided, That no tuanufacturer of tolricco, snuff, or eigars shall be reqmired to pay a special tax as dealer in manufacturod tobacco and eifars f?r selling his own prod?ict3 at place of mnn*f*ctare." (S) Manufacturers of tobacco and cig-rs are required to pay an annual tax according to the amount of their tale?, but as there [are do manufacturers of tobacco and cigars in Ibis ?ouaty, it is not necss*ary to say anything about them for the puipose of anrwering Mr. Ladd's question. The amount of the tax in all eases . ~ is computed on the base3 of the annual sales for the preceding fiscal year. It vr ill-be noted that c!aa% (2), dealers inrtobaceo, is the only one under which ? our country merchants could come, and it is hardly likely that any of them sell as much as fifty thousand pounds, annually; so tbey need not worry about tobacco or cigars. Qf course, if their annual sales exceed fifty thousand pounds, they will have to pay an annual tar or license of twelve dollars. (4) As to the slock of tobacco, cigars, cigarettes and snail on hand, every person having on hand for sale "in excess of one thousand [pounds of manufactured tobacco and twenty tnousana cigars or cigareues,-' are required to make "a full and true retcralunder oatb in duplicate of the quantity thereof, in pounds a3 to tobacco and snuff and in thousands as to cigars and cigarettes so held" on the day succeeding the passage of the act, and such return must be sent to the collector or deputy collector. "A tax equal to one balf the difference between the tax already paid on such Winlao af V.a Mmnvol frnm cki uvivo ab Uiv Muiv v* the factory or eastern house and the tax levied in this act upon sach articles is required." It is not likely that any of onr merchants carry so large a itock as "oii? thousand pounds of manufactured tobacco and twenty thousand cigars." They need not, therefore, trouble about this tax. With the stock of perfumery, cosmetics and proprietary medicines on hand, it is quite different. Where the box, bottia or oiner lrciosure, wnn its contents, shall not exceed, at the retail price or value, five cent?, an ne-eighth ef one cent stamp must be aSxed; where the retail price or ~alue is more than fire cents and does not exceed ten cents, two-eighths oi one cent .mast be affixed; where over ten cents, and not over iftf e:i cents, tbree-er*hths of one eent; where more than fifteen cent?, and sot n?ore than twe^fy-flre cents, fire eifkth? of one cen* And for eaefe additional tweityfir? :*nts of retail price or value or Irac ioual part thereof in excess of tweaty-five cet.ts, fiTe-eighths of one cent. Tills we taint luiir answers Mr. Lad-Ps question. The merchant need not uffix his stamps before selling cosaques, &c., bat can do so as they are sold. While nobody doubts that had Sampson been in front of Santiago harbor when Cervera made his bold and desperate dash for liberty, the American Admiral would hare de? ? J ^ l<. ? ^ AM kaI > r? AA auuyeu lllC XlUCt cucist. uaujr ao Schley. Sampson .was off attending to other duties, and Schley had the opportunity, and he lost no time in taking- it. It was Scbley, who first discovered Camera's fleet in the harbor, and it was peculiarly appropriate that he should destroy it. "We were surprised that his name nowhere appeared in the first dispatches, bat the reporters are now giving Scbley the credit. i -It . bfiscfi'iHiSATiox? j The News and Cotirier call? *1 e attention of representative* of ih South in Congress to what appears an unwarranted discrimination against the volunteers of the South. Not a single regiment or military organization of any kind from thej South lias beeu ordered to Cuba, and our contemporary adds point to this by showing that "two regiments from Pennsylvania, two from Wisconsin, one from Ohio, one from Illinois, one from j Massachusetts ancl one irom xtnoae Island, constituting a force of about 8,000 meD, under command of Gen. Wilson, were on the way from Chickamauga and Camp Alger" to Santiago to reinforce Gen. Shafier. These regiments were in Charleston at the time the article in the News and Conrier appeared. Beside5, I these regiments, an Illinois regiment and a District of Colombia regiment had already embarked at Tampa for the front. Our contemporary continuing says r * * "Tli? 1st South Carolina regiment was left " ^ 1 ^ ^ of "UOltieQ Up Jii?e v^civciao u.vi . Cbickanaanga vrithoui. having received a single gun, or a kDife, or a fork, or a canteen, or knapsack or shirt" to equip them for service. Besides all this it was noted, 'Gen. Brook's corps will soon go to Porto Rico, bnt the South Carolina regiment will not be in that corps' either," If the South Carolina troops were the only ones slighted from the South the discrimination would not so conspicuously reveal the sectional lines, Vcnro on^ PfHlfipr VPfV UUl A3 l UV ilWWO HUM N/V v?. y correctly says, the tame thing is trne of every southern regiment. All of the first commands sent to Cuba were from the northern States, and even this woold not have excited any comment or surprise, but now when reinforcements are going to the frvnt, onr?in r\r\t ft rpoimpnf. ROnth of Ohio is - * ~o sent to the front. Oar contemporary is 7ery puzzled to know the reason for this strange conduct of the war, and it makes a good point when it says that it can't be that the South has not famished the volunteers. The South has responded to the call jast as prompt as the North. It is hoped that tbi& war will do much io wipe out seationai liucs, but if the sectional line is to be diawn in tne composition of the tray of inra?*?? ri/l nrit oivpn sn ?JLf U) rtUU IUV wwuw* w equal chance with the North, the war. will tend to emphasize sectional lines, instead of oqliterating them. We do not agree with the News and Courier that "to adequate applanation can be offered for it. The real explanation is that the government nas noi oeeu piumpi iu equipping the regiments. Many of the Northern States have been making large appropriations to equip their quota ofAtreope, and before the war began they supported their State military organizations liberally by annual appropriations, and the South has not dene so. Now when war actually begins, the North is ready, and the South is not. Inexperienced quartermasters, 'n/vKfi/.ol vinll hoT*p hppn crivPTJ TfllU pvillivai k/un j UMV v WVM Q - V ?? positions, and the consequence 13 that the Government js not equipping her soldiers. The News and Courier's criticism should be directed towards the tardiness in equipping the Southern regiments, and not because they have not been sent to the Iront. The truth is they are in no condition to go to the front. ms-FATR CK1XICIS3I;. The break dov?n of Genera! Wheeler at the beginuing of the seige of Santiago ought to be a lesson to McKiaiev against the appointment of o;d msn to high positions for active duty in the army. Grenoral Wheeler is undoubtedly more active than some of the other generals appointed, some of the other generals appointed, some of whom have lost limbs and are not the right men to send to the front to handle large forces. It is impossible for them to inspect large 'ines and locate the strong and the wea^ >'?ints. An army needs live, active, offi cers. Cripples and old men i.. their second childhood are not the ouc3 to placa at the head of brave men.? Columbia Record. This is unfair and unjast. Whatever may be said of Mr. McKinley's appointments, he ought not to be cen sored tor appointing a man of Gen. Joe Wheeler's sge. It should not be forgotten that Gen,. Young, wfco can not be called an old man, was also ill during the battle, and a special to the New York World from Washington also stated that Gen. Shafier was ill, though the authorities concealed it from the puhlic. Many privates wert> prostrated by the heat. These privates had passed through a rigid physical | examination, and it would be jast as lair to criticise me rresjaenc Tor silowing them to be enlisted to criticise the Piesident for fcs-.ving appointed the da3hiDg and saliain Wheeler. Then it onght not to be forgotten that in spite of liis illness and against the advice of his physician Wheeler was on the fleld, and he seems to have done his duty.

The first corn :.un!cations leoeived by General Shatter from in front cf Santiago were signed "Wheeler." They came from" General "Joe" Wheeler, in command of the advance guard of the American troops. As stories of heroes are ihs order 01 the day, that of this hero is appropriate. General Wheeler was one of t be ardent advocates, in Congress of freedom for Cuba.
