In Washington City, January 9tlst Federal
Treasury notes were at 4 pe r cent discount.
Exciiangk ok Prisoners.?This work goes
on as rapidly as arrangements can be completed
for the transportation of prisoners on both
sides. So far about 1000 prisoners on each
side have been exchanged, leaving a balance
of the Federals in wit hands, of about 5,000.

Note.?Where the taxable pepperty of any
head of a family amounts to less than |600,
such property is exempt from taxation. But
where a man has no family his property is taxable
under that amount. Persons absent in
the si my, or otherwise away from home, may
authon/.e an agent to make returns for them,
or they can make out their returns, swear to
them before a magistrate and send them by

I Federal Army Appropriation Bill.
^ The Committee of Ways and Means of the
" Federal Congress, has reported a Bill making
| appropriations for the support of the army, for
the year ending June 30th, 1863. The handi
some little amount fur this single item is only
#113,333,738 08.
Peimnnent Confederate Government
The prrmanent (Government of the Confederate
Stales will he fully organized on the 22d
day of Fclnuary next. Tie new Congress will
meet on the 18th, and the Presidential vote be
cunriMeu on the l'JM. The President will be
jnauguratt<1 on the 22d.
Surplus of Bacon.
The Cincinuatli (Saxrttt estimates that there
will be a cut plus of 80,000,000 of bacon in the
Northwest this?ycar should the rebel markets
not be opened ; but if the latter event should
duke place, the hog crop would not supply the
demand. It is conjectured that the Lincoln
army will consume 40,000,000 pounds during
the year
The War Tax
As everything connected with the War Tax
; is at this time interesting to a lur.e number of
1 our renders, we publish in this paper the Act
j of our Plate Legislature providing for the pay- i
merit by the Plate of the Confederate Tax, and |
! for the after collection of the same from the i
Tax Payers by her own officers. It will be
seen that the Ilooks for the collection of this I
Tax will be opened in June next, end again in '
November following; and that all Tax payers
who pay at the first opening of the books will
be entitled to a deduction of five per centum
from the nmount of their Tux.
We also publish the recent instructions of
the Secretary of the Treasury, based upon an
Act of Congress "further supplementary to an
\ Act to authorise the issue of Ticnsury notes
and to provide a War Tax for their redemption."
These instructions, though received I
after the woik of the Sub-Collectors and Ac I
1 sensors bad begun, may prove interesting and
advantageous to Tax Payers in general.
The News.
Since our last issue, ntirrihg events have taken
place. Prom accounts received from the
differ ent camps of the enemy, it seems that the
*day is not far distant that shall witness a grand
^movement of their* to "crush out the rebellion"
and demolish with a single stroke the last
traces of the gullant Confederate army.
That we are now on the eve of a great struggle,
desncratc?one in which is suspended the very
existence of our new Government?seems to
be the foregone conclusion of our people.?

I ' the opposing legions which arc to be hurled

I entire confidence, both in their superior discip> !

I Though we sometimes meet with reverses,

I though we have met with a sad disaster in the

Jfall from Charlotte to lAneeeter.
I I Our citiu na have experienced a great incon.
tvenience, for some time, by bad management
/of mail matter, from Charlotte to this place.?
II the Government has established the line as

Important from Richmond.
The War Correspondent oT the Savannah
Republican, whose statements and opinions
hitherto have always proved just and well
founded, writing from Richmond, on the
20th inst, gives the following interesting
information :
I should have written you before this,
L..i r_.
ut. i?r n?e reason I tint I desired first to
procure reliable information in regard to a
matter of grout public concern. I am glad
to have it in my power now to nay, that
; day is beginning to break in tbe east. At
leant, it ia reported, and I believe it, tlial
the Independence of the Confederate Stales
will be conceded and recognized by Great
j Britain and France within the next forty
day*.
It is also said, and I think truly, that an
| intimation wan given to our Government
; some weeks ago, to the effect that the llrit
ish and French Governments, and probably
' the Spanish Government also, were favora
i bly inclined to war Is the Confederate States,
Sod that they were disposed to recognize
our independence at an early day. It war
thought best, however, as the time Wa?
short, to await the inauguration of the per.
manenl government on ihe J-id day o( next
February. These advices had left Kurope
before information had been received there
of the unwarrantable seizure of Messrs.
Mason and Slidcil. This latter occurrence,
and the increasing distress occasioned by
thu withholding of the cotton crop, may,
as already intimated, bring about our re
cognition at an earlier day than that mentioned
above.
There is u reason also to believe that simultaneous
w ith the acknowledgment of
our independence, the blockade will be do
dared, by the same Powers, to le inefi'cc
taal nnd illegal, and at aueh, not binding or
worthy to be observed. Should the United
8tu(ea resist this proceeding, then there
will ho wnr between them and the maritime
Powers of Kurope. Upon the raining of
the bloekude, the shipment of cotton abroad
and lite introduction of foreign good*, will
commence. A sense of relief will then be
experienced throughout the Confederacy.
Money will become abundant. An adequate
supply of unns and ammunition will be obtained.
The occupation of the extortioner
| ?the aider nnd abettor of the enemy ? will
be gone, nnd the Government nnd people
be placed in a position to conduct the war
with vigor and success.
I may mention a rumor in thia connection
that a Committee of Congressmen proceed
ed to Manassas yeaterday. charged with n
roqueal to Gen Beauregard, that he would
consent to be transferred to the military
department embracing the State of Missot
ri. Gen H. is almost indispensable to the
Army of the Potomac, and there are many
who would regret to see liirn leave it It
is reported that the President is entirely
willing to make the trnnafer. Of one thing
you may feel satisfied?to wit : that Gen.
Beauregard will do what he believes to be
best for the public service. A more loyal
and unselfiah patriot does not breathe within
the bounds of the Confederacy.
McClellan Ready, aod Promiaet an
Early Attaok.
Th? Norfolk Day II<mk, of tlie 2 2d in
toot, any s:
Intelligence has been conveyed to ue
that McClellan was preparing to cross the
Potomao ; and when our informant left tho
point ot observation the necessary preparation*
were very nen'ly completed.
The Yankee* are represented as being
about to make one more great effort, upon
which they real their nbiiity to subjugate
the South. That they may have nothing
| to upbraid themselves with In case of du
f iat, they have even gone ao fur as to ask
the direction and bUssing of God. To this
end Friday laat w?a observed, in Washington
eity, as a day of fasting and prayer.
We learn that the seeming tardiness of
Gen. McClellan in moving forward, has
been explained by that officer to the satisfaction
of the Cabinet . In a recent private
conference with them he made n sAtement
I of (be motives by which he was actuated,
and declaring among other things, that up
to that time he had not been thoroughly
prepared for an advance, but that now he
i was ready and that the forward move vliould
at onto be mads.

From Cedar Keys, Florida?Reported
Capture of the Town.
A gentleman just arrived from Florida
(says the Snvnnnah News,) informs us that
tho town of Cedar Keys, Florida, situated
at the Western or Gulf terminus of the
Florida Railroad, was taken possession of
by the Yankees on Thursday last.
Cedar Key* is a small town with about
thirty houses, and probably one hunded inhabitants.
Tho bar tins nine feet of water,
and is a good harbor for small vessels.?
At tho time the Yankees took the pluie
there were three schooners loading nod five
fishing smacks at the wharves. Our iuformnnt,
who had an interest in one of the
sehooners, which was loaded with lumber
j and turpentine, feels confident that the
owners of tho vessels in port destroyed
I r?ii.u. ?i? -i > ? ? -"
tllvlM ,? ?? % 11 ii i III.IV Iiivjr 9'IUIIIU 1?% 11 IIIIO
Uie hands of the enemy. JSome limo since
the Confederate troops were withdrawn
froir. the vicinity of Cedar Keys.
On Thursday night last, ns noon as it
win ascertained that the Yankees intended
to nttnek the town. Mr. Yulec, President
of the Railroad, went down with two companies
of Infantry, to protect the property
in the vicinity,and check the Yankees advance.
A messenger freut Cedar Keys was
sent to Gainsville, Florida, the nearest telegraphic
office, to telegraph to Gen. Trnpicr
that the Federals had attacked the town,
and asking hi in to send assistance. During
Thursday firing in the direction of Cedar
Keys wrs heard in the adjacent county,
and a conflict had no doubt taken place be
twecn'lie Yankees and the Florida troops.
The Situation.? It is not like!v that our
> Confederate Government would send Ma?
son and Slidell as Commissioners to Eng.
i and and France, while we have able men
there representing us. We think they
were armed with credentials as Ministers,
( and as such have presented them. As such
i the Governments of England and France
had either to receive or reject them. Under
, all the ciicumstunces We are confident they
have not been rejected. If these Govern,
merits ever entertained the idea of recognition
of the Confederate States, they would
not reject the accredited Ministers of out
Government, at a time when thev had re.
Ceived a Imuo ntterupt to t' row o(T the
reparation duo them for n great princplc,
wliicli those Government* had a right tu
require to bo recognized. These Governments
will recognize our Ministers, nnd
present their protests to the United States
Government against the inetlieient block
ade, while they make their arrangements to
remove it. We expect good news by the
next arrival I'm in Europe.? So. Carolinian.
Another "Stone Fleet" for Charleston Harbor.?
When day dawned yesterday, the
number of the enemy's vessels bad still fur
ther increased, some twenty-one, in all, be*
ing in sight. By close observation with
powerful glasses, it was ascertained that
1 the crows of the brigs and barks, the old
I .
fashioned build of which we noticed ill our
last issue, were busily engage 1 in stripping
the bulks of portions of the rigging, spars,
etc. This no longer left any rooui for
doubt that this was really another detachment
of the famous stone fleet, by which
the wicked City ot Charleston is to be "hermetically
sealed." Indeed, a report prevail*
ad yesterday afternoon, ttiat they lind actually
begun the barbarous work by acuttling
One of their ves-els between Beach Channel
and the Uultlcannke, but we doubt
whether auch was the fact. Should the
weather he moderate to day, they w ill probably
developo their plana, unless they determine
to avoid observation, by sinking the
old hulks at night.?Mercury.

ius aiforded every citizen to a secure
Dd profitable investment, wlW^contribung
aid to the cause in which the State is
ngaged. With the view of enabling citu
ens in any part of the State to share in

L-veral districts have been required to open
ooks of subscription for the Stock. Snitble
arrangements will be made for furnihing
the Bonds on the receipt of the raonat
