Professor J. C. WATSON, of Ann Arbor, Michi
gan, announces the discovery of a new planet,
hitherto unknown, which was first seen by him
August 24. It is situated in right ascension 1 deg
40 min., and in declination 3 deg. 10 min. south
It is moving west and south.
San Francisco is about to build a bulk-head
sea-wall along the entire city line of the harbor.
The rapid growth of her commerce renders ouch
a structure a necessity, as otherwise the wash
sand from the ci ty would seriously obstruct the
harbor and prevent vessels of large draught from
reaching the wharves.
A letter from a planter at Thomasville, to
merchant of Augusta, dated the 23d, says
"Cotton has commenced to open fast. I have
all hands picking, and if the weather continues
clear I will send some cotton to Savannah Tues?
day, 27th. Cotton is still doing well, and there
no sign of the caterpillar yet. Even if it does come
it is now too late for it to do much harm. I am
satisfied I will make a full crop."
A singular accident from lightning occurred
the other day in Ireland. As a young man in the
telegraph office at Garriok-on-Suir.was transmi
ting some messages during the thunderstorm, the
lightning struck from his hand an open penknife.
The knife having struck against the wall of the of?
fice rebounded and struck him oh the back of the
wrist, which immediately became very much
swollen. The lightning did no other harm.
A remarkable instance of the well-known vital
ty of seeds may be now seen at the Paris Exhibi?
tion, a great variety of plants foreign: to France
having sprung np under the wall and around the
buildings in the Park, the seeds of which have
been conveyed to Paris in packages from various
countries. Especially around the house of GUS?
TAVUS WAKA, several plants may be seen which are
peculiar to the country of that monarch. .
A mean swindler in Philadelphia advertised for
peach pickers to go to Delaware City. About fifty
poor Germans responded, and met him, according
to direction, at the depot, where he collected $1.25
from each to pay their passage. He then de?
camped, but his poor victims did not discover the
swindle until they had ridden several miles and
were called opon by the conductor to pay their
tares, and were obhged to get off at the first sta?
tion.
The Greek steamer Arkadi, whioh has been so
successful in running the blockade around Crete
was pursued by a Turkish man-of-war. The crew
of the Ar kadi, finding that they were in danger of
falling into the hands of the Turks, scuttled and
set fire to the steamer, and took to their boat?
While enveloped in flames, the Aricadi made
sudden lurch and plu i ged beneath the wa ven
The crew subsequently reached the shore in
safety.
The Springfield (Mass.) Sebubltcan says that
five thousand Spencer rifles, whioh havo been de?
layed at Albany several months, are now arriving
at the Springfield Armory for repairs. They were
long delayed at Albany because of an old govern?
ment order to pay for no freighting except upon
the presentation af the original way-bill ; and as
in this case the way-bill was lost, the Western
railroad refused to transport the guns, and run its
risk of getting its pay ; but the matter has now
been arranged satisfactorily.
The dispatches from Bear Admiral BELL, detail?
ing the operations against the savages in the south
end of the Island of Formosa, seem to indicate
that the object of chastising the inhabitants for
their murder of American seamen was not satis
faotorily accomplished. Beyond burning a number
of native huts and chasing the warriors, who, as
they fled, ambushed our brave seamen and inflict?
ed a grievous low of life, with no corresponding
damage, so far as is known, to themselves, the ex?
pedition appears to have been completely fruitless.
The Italian papers continue to announce the
transit through Milan of convoys of horses and
cattle for the French Government; they are im?
ported into France by the Sus* Pass. It is also
stated that by the 1st of September the French
Government will receive from the contractors a
fresh supply of 300,000 Ghaaaepot rifles and 1,100,
000 pairs of shoes. Few persons now give a warlike
construction to these facts. The general impres?
sion is that the Emperor is augmenting his mate?
rial merely to increase his moral force in conti?
nental politics.
The Porte government energetically protested
against the despatch of war vessels to Cand?an
waters by the European powers, for the convey?
ance of Turkish subjects to Greece, as being an
attack upon its rights. The Porte has also flatly
denied the alleged excesses of the Turkish troops
in Candia. Rome close investigations instituted
by the French and Austrian Ministers in the isl?
and have resulted, it is said, in the discovery that
the Bussian Consul at Canea was the originator
of the news whioh has been propagated of bar?
barities having been perpetrated by the Turks.
The Journal de Paria says : We leam from
Borne that the Pop?is highly satisfied with the
stay," "journey,"or "mission" of General DU?
MONT. The final interview between the Pope and
the General was most cordial After a conversa?
tion concerning the legion of Awnnxs and GARI?
BALDI,* the General is said to have expressed the
pleasure France and the Emperor NAPOLEON
would fed at the Pope visiting the Exhibition.
"We are very old - and mnoh fatigued to make
such a journey," said his Holiness, " besides, are
we not already sufficiently exhibited?"
The Washington correspondence of the New
York Tribune says : "The Hon. E. B. WASHBUBHE,
member of Congress from Illinois, who has been
absent in Europe for the last six months, arrived
here this morning and is the guest of Gen. GUA NT.
Mr. WASHBUBHS spent all of to-day with GBANT.
He says that he (Mr. WASHBDBHE) is of the opinion
that the first business that will be done at the
meeting of Congress will be to prepare articles of
Impeachment against President JOHNSON. He
thinks it the only way to save the country. This
is significant, coming as it does from one of Gen.
GRANT'S warmest friends and admirers.
Hon. J. G. BLAUTE, who is making the tour of
Europe, thinks the estimates often made that
there are fifty thousand to seventy-five thousand
Americans travelling in Europe at this time ex?
tremely wild. He has made a careful estimate
from the most reliable data at his command, and
is satisfied that to-day there are not fifteen thou?
sand Americans in all Europe, from Queenstown
to Constantinople, from Madrid to Moscow.
Others, who have better facilities for judging, put
the number as low as ten thousand. The amount
of gold, therefore, which is taken out of the coun?
try by tourists is far less than has usually been es?
ma ted.
A Washington telegram to the Boston Journal
says : "The President gave an audience recently
to several representatives of the press from a dis?
tance, who called specialty to seo him. In the in?
terview he said he was willing at any time to fur?
nish proper information for publication, but that
be had reason within a short time to complain bit?
terly of certain persons who bad boen to see him
publishing exaggerated and false accounts of con?
versations with him. This practice had become so
annoying to him, he said, that he should take care
ia future to grant interviews only to such respect?
able and honorable journalists he knew person

Bev. Dr. BELLOWS, of New York, who is now in
Europe, writes home that American government
Blocks are in large and increasing demand in Ger?
many as investments. The area over which they
are rapidly spreading is already very large. Or?
ders come in to the Frankfort Bourse every day,
not only from all parts of Get many and Switzer?
land, but from Austria, Hungary, and even Molda?
via. In short, they seem the favorite security at
this time. The general estimate of the Frankfort
bankers of the amount of these stocks now held on
the continent is not less than five hundred mil?
lions. So scarce are they that a demand for two
hundred thousand a day would raise the market
price of them.
CURRENT TOPICS.
IN REFERRING TO THE purchase of thc Bay of
Saman? by the United States Government, tho
New York Herald says : "Tho territory which has
now become the property of the United States has
been tho subject of negotiation for several years
past. The Bay of Sumana is situated on tho south
side of thc peninsula of the same name, and is
from east to west about forty-three mUes long, by
eight miles wide. Tho Yuna-tho largest river tn
St. Domingo-empties itself at the western end.
Tho Bay forms one of tho largest and safest har?
bors in tho wjrld, and, from its position in refe?
rence to tho Gulf of Mexico, trade, and tho routes
across Central America, may bo regarded as being
the most important point, iu a military and com?
mercial view, in that portion of tho continent. On
its northern shore*, and lying in tho light of
land-locked bay, is the small and dilapidated town
of Santa Barbara, which is probably included in
the purchase. The entrance to tho Bay is about
three miles wide, and can be easily defended by
heavy batteries located on both shores. Of the
capacity of the harbor it need only be said that no
fleet could be gathered within it largo enough to
take up its space, so that, either from the weathc
or from an enemy, our commercial and war navy
can always find a place of certain safety. In a politi?
cal point of view, the possession of the Bay of So
mana by the United States is of great importance.
It giveB us a powerful and controlling position in
the Antilles and tho Gulf of Mexico, and should
this acquisition be followed by tho purchase of tito
island of St. Thomas, we will become tho prepon?
derating power in the archipelago, and the actual
arbiters of the destinies of all the i-dauds which
comprise it. That European powers havo always
recognized this fact is certain, as, according to tho
Opinion Nationale, of Paris, the attempt to get
possession of it several years ago was baffled by
the French Consul-General at Port au Prince. Tho
same paper, under date of February 14,1867, in
referring to the visit of Mr. FREDERICK SEWARD to
St. Domingo, declared that tho acquisition of tho
Bay of Santana by the United States "could not fail
to become a cause of just disquiet to Franco,
Spain, England, and the Republic of Hay ti." And,
indeed, so far as Spain and Hayti ore concerned,
its occupation by us would almost ensure our suc?
cess in case of a war with oither of those Govern?
ments, commanding as it does Hayti and Cuba on
one side, and Porto Rico on the other. Should wo
succeed in getting possession of St. Thomas, thou
we would completely hem in Jamaica, and com?
mand tue French Autillos inlands. Tho five circuit
miles of land sold with the bay are very fertile, as
indeed is the entire peninsula. They will doubt?
less bo used to construct the naval station, and to
erect forts and batteries upon.
THE BALTIMORE Gazelle, ot Monday, speaking of
the sixth day of the great Sch?tzenfest in that city,
says : In consequence of the rain, which deprived
many persons of the opportunity to visit the great
festival of tho Schuetze a Association, it was deter?
mined to continue it on Saturday and to-day, so
that all might have the chan oe to enjoy tho amuse?
ments provided for the visitors. Now lanterns
were put up on Saturday for a grand illumination
at night, but a heavy shower of rain fell early in
the afternoon, which destroyed tho greater part of
them, and entailed on the Association a damage of |
some five hundred dollars. After the rain, how?
ever, the afternoon and evening were delightful,
but there were not so many visitors as on either
of the preceding days of the festival. There was,
however, no abridgement of the amusements pro?
vided. The dancing saloon was thrown open, and
the Punch and Judy exhibition was mado as at?
tractive as before. Prof. LESLIE ascended with the
balloon and went through his daring feats on the
trapeze, holding by one foot at an altitude of
three hundred feet, and turning summersaults.
Alter he descended Prof. LIGHT made an ascen?
sion which was decidedly the handsomest of the
Festival. The ' olloon ascended to a hoight of
about fifteen hundred feet, and remained for some
time over the Park. It then slowly floated toward
the north, and remained in full view until the de?
scent, which was near the eastern confines of the
city. At night the magical illusions were very
fine, and up to a late hour the dancing continued.
The Festival will closo to-night, and during tho
day there will be shooting and bowling for prizes.
A grand vocal and instrumental concert will bo
given in the afternoon, and a procession of tho
Schuetzen-Gesellschait. Tho balloon will ascend,
and at night there will be a grand illumination.
For variety of amusements, it is intended to moke
the closing day excel all the others. The Post i val
occurs but once a year, and to-day will be the lost
opportunity to visit it.
THE NEW YOBK WOHLD of the 26th says : "On
Saturday morning Judgo BARNAUD, of the Supreme
Court, issued on order for tho arrest of Mr. Tnos.
F. SMITH and wife, of Yokohama, Japau, against
whom a civil action has been commenced by Mr.
THOMAS M AQUIEK, on tho part of himself and as?
sociates, to recover possession of tho Japanese
troupe of performers. Sherill MCGONIOAL, to <
whom was entrusted the execution of tho order, 1
visited Mr. and Mrs. SMITH at their hotel, and, in 1
default of $25,000 bail, was obliged to convey thom 1
to Ludlow Btroot jail. A Japaneso boy, ton or <
eleven years of age, said to bo "AU Right,' ac- 1
companied them, and, against the solicitations of
members of the troupe, preferred to go to jail 1
rather than to bo separate! from thom. Tho 1
iffidavit of Mr. MAOUIRE states that tho 1
lefendant, THOMAS F. SMITH, mado an agreement
arith the acrobats in Japan on tho first of October, 11
1866, to work for him and givo performances in j <
lifferent ports of the world until tho 20th of
august, 1867, for the sum of $6,500, Mexican money; j 1
hat subsequently SMITH sold port of bis intercut
io a Mr. BURGESS ; and that MAGUIRE afterwards | <
purchased BURGESS' interest, and SMITH conveyed
lis to Messrs. ROBLEY, SHEDT & BAHES. On the
16th day of June the plaintiffs on ter od into another
agreement with the troupe extending to tho first 1
lay of February, 1868, and paid over the contract <
noney. They charge that SMITH and wifo unlaw- <
olly conspired with the Japanese for their own t
ion cfit and advantage, to injure tho plain til ls and i
ireak up the troupe, and that the defendants have
lucceeded in enticing away the Japanese from the
?amti?s' control, with the design of exhibiting
hem in diff?rent parts of the world ; that they, 1
he defendants had enticed the Japanese into the i
{tate of New Jersey, with the intent to embark for t
Surope. 1
GENERAL ROUSSEAU has addressed a letter to the
iditor of tho New York Tribune, denying that
General STEEDMAN and himself left New Orleans to
)scape arrest by SHERIDAN, as related by the Walli?
ngton correspondent of -bat pa por. He says:
'That General SHERIDAN made out an order for
.he arrest of General STEEDM'.N and myself may
KS true, bat 1 neither know nor do I believe it to
JO true. The insinuation in the abovo paragraph
hot Generals STEEDMAN and ROUSSEAU 'suddenly
eft New Orleans to avoid arrest, is simply a
nalicious, if not a malignant invention, and its
m thor is either a very credulous and simple, or
sise a very artful or ?eokleot? fabricator. As your
?rrespondent shields liimself behind the words,
it is said, on good authority,'he is supposed to
>e no farther responsible in the premises than
my other journalist in his peculiar department.
3ut as, perhaps, it will not do to let the state
nent go nncontradicted, I am rather forced into r
he annoyance of this reply. " Let me toll you t
fir. Editor, that General SHERIDAN knew perfectly li
roll, and from my own lips, the day and tho In mr
if tho day of my departure from New Orleans, aud | ti
io had faD opportunity to enforce au arrest, if,
ndeed, he designed one. Perhaps it is well
luough to add, as a fact within my knowledgo, tl
hat General STEEDMAN, who was to have leit Mow 1;
Means with me, was detained in that city fur c
overol days after my departure by tue serious b
llness of a nephew. I have not heard that any ti
ffort was made to arrest him. " It is not thc g
labit of either General STEEDMAN or myself to
depart suddenly.' "
IT CANNOT BE denied that the colorod race has
roved itself the most generally useful race that
,0s ever existed in this country. They havo not
nly cultivated cotton, rice, tobacco and corn, tl
nt they have been invaluable to tho politicians, f:
be philanthropists, the philosophers, the senti- $

octors of divinity. While their industry pro- fi
need the staples which laid the foundations of the J

finds and set going the tongues and pens, and 11?
nally the muskets and cannon of the white race.

GENERAL HAMPTON'S LETTER.
We call attention to the very interesting let?
ter of General HAMPTON, printed on our first
page to-day. We cannot but regret that Gen.
H. should have allowed himself to be presuaded
to withhold from publication the very interest?
ing, dignified and statesmanlike letter he wrote
to Mayor GIBBES two years ago. Had his
counsels been followed at that time, we might
probably have avoided many of the troubles
that have befallen us since.
THE PRESIDENT AND THE MILITARY
COMMANDERS.
In our telegraphic columns this morning,
will be found tho order of the Secretary of
War, ad interim, transmitted through the Adju?
tant-General's office, relieving Major-General
D. E. SICKLES, and assigning Brigadier-Gen?
eral E. R. S. CANBY to the command of the
Second Military District.
On our first page, to-day, will also be found
tho correspondence between the Presidept and
General GRANT, relative to the removal of Gen?
eral SHEHIOAN, and the appointment of General
HANCOCK in his place.
TTE INTERNAL REVENUE BUREAU,
The "Excise" or "Internal Revenue" Law was en?
acted by Congress, July 1,1862, and contained one
hundred and nineteen sections. On the 14th July,
1862, it was provided that the portion of it, rela?
ting to stamps should not take effect till Septem?
ber, 1862, and that portion relating to tho ap?
pointment of assessors and collectors, should take
effect on the 21st day of July. On tho 3d of March,
1863, important amendments were adopted by Con?
gress. June 30, 1864, tho law was substantially re?
modelled, and again March 3,1865, and the rates of
tax in most respects greatly increased, and addi?
tional subjects cf taxation provided for. In July,
1866, tho present law was established, and a sub?
stantial reduction made in the rates of duty upon
some articles ; others which had been subject to
taxes either burdensome, or impolitic, omitted, and
au estimated reduction made in tho aggregate
revenues from internal duties of some seventy mil?
lions ot dollars.
In thc first ten months of the operation of tho
original law of 1862, as amended in 1863, it real?
ized for tho Treasury something less than forty
millions of dollars. In the second year, ending
Jrno 30,1865, about $211,000,000, and to Juno, 1866,
about $311,000,000. Tho report for tho fiscal year
just passed has not yet been made, but wo do not
think it will exceed the amount of the year pre?
ceding.
GEOUOF. S. BOVTWELL, of Massachusetts, was tho
flrst Commissioner of Internal Revenue, succeeded
by Judge JOSEPH J. LEWIS, of Pennsylvania, who
resigned in July, 1865. WM. CBTON, of New York,
samo next, who was succeeded a few nioutns later
l>y tho present incumbent, E. A. HOLLINS, of Now
Hampshire.
Tho Bureau in South Carolina was organized May
10. 1865. Tim State was sub-divided into three
Collect iou Districts. Tho first consisted of tho
Districts of Morry, Georgetown, Williamsburg,
Marion, Marlboro, Darlington, Clarendon, Sumter,
Kershaw, Chesterfield and Lancaster. The second
:omprisos tho Districts of Charleston, Coll eton,
Beaufort, Barnwell and Urangebnrg. The third
comprised tho Districts of Richland, Lexington,
ridgefield, Abbeville, Newberry, Fair?old, Chester,
Laurens, Andoraon, Bickens, Greenville, Spartan
jurg, Union and York.
Tho following aro tho o Airers for this Slate: 1st
District, Assessor, C. W. DUDLEY, Bounettsvillo;
Collector, SAMUEL MEVOANT, cumtor. 2d District,
\jS80ssor, C. J. HASCALL, Charleston; Collector,

Assessor, H. O. HERRICK, Anderson, and Colloc
or, ALEXANDER S. WALLACE, Columbia.
The first tax laid cn cotton, in tho original Act
)f July 1,1862 was one-half cent a pound. This
Vet took effect October 1, 1862. By tho Act of
March 1, 1864, tho tax on cotton was mado two
-en ts a por nd; July 13,1866, it was made three
-outs a pound ; and March 2,18C7, it was reduced
0 two and a half cents a pound. This Act is to
*o into operation September 1,1867.
Tho amount of tax coUoctod on raw cotton, du
ing the fiscal year of 1864-65, (two cents a pound;
vas $1,772,983.48; Tennessee contributing the
afgest amount, viz : $877,901.09. There were no
?eturns from South Carolina, North Carolina, Geor?
gia, Alabama, Mississippi, Florida, Arkansas and
Texas, and only partial returns from the other
Southern States.
In the fiscal year, from Juno 30,1865, to June 30,
866, tho tax on raw cotton was as follows (2 cents
1 pound):
Alabama.$3,733,020 20
California. 145 oe
Georgia. 3,664,544 38
Illinois. 113,732 06
Indiana. 12,428 40
Kontncky. 121,660 89

Texas. 1,395,624 17
Virginia. 168,268 29
Total.$18,409,654 90
It will be Been by the above table that the tax
eturned from any given State is no critereon os to
ho amount of cotton produced withiu its
?mite.
Duriiig the fiscal year just passed, tho amount or
ix collected on cotton nos, doubtless, much
rester than this, as tho crop was larger, and the
tito uf taxation 50 por cent, greater. If wo accept
Ito clop, that underwent taxation from Juno 30
866, to Juue*30,1867, at 1,500,000 bales, which is
crtainh a low estimate, and count 500 lbs. to the
ale, wc have, at 3 cte. a lb., $22,500,000.00. It is
rue tho tax was only 2 cts. a lb., from July 1, to
eptombcr 1, last year, but tho difference, wo
aink, is fully compensated by our moderato est??
late of tho crop.
The South, wo thus soo, contributes very mate
ialiy to tho rovenue of tho government, and from
source that can ill afford such a tax. Besides
ais tax on raw cotton, tho tax receipts for cotton
ibrics, and manufactures of cotton, in 1865, wore,
15,747,923.18 ; and in 1866, $11,405,963.73.
Tho gtand total of receipt! from every sourco
rom South Carolina for the fiscal year ending
uno 30. 1866, waB $986,253.35. Of this amount
22,932.78 was for cotton fabrics (6 per cent.), and
22,347.38 for spirits of turpentine (24 couts a gal
uif. Om railroads during that timo paid internal
avenue tax (2J por cent.) $30,285.16; our u,a.ts com?
panies $2121.66; for wholesale dealer's licenses ($50
adi) South Carolina paid $64,003.10; retail dcalors'
?censes ($10 each) $21.290.7'.). For wholosale li
[oor dealers licennos ($100 each) $7171.07; for re?
ad liquor dealer's licenses ($25 each) $36,584.38.
jawyors licenses ($10 each) $10-17.42; giving only
09lawyers in the State. Tho physicians and sur?
dons in thc State, also paying $10 each for their
conso, during tho ?anio yent paid $2185.42, shoi?
ng that wo have nearly two doctors to ono lawyer;
273.37 only were paid for apothecaries licenses;
1712.48 for bankers'; $1061.77 for auctioneers',
'otal of licenses $74,078.01. The amount of in
omc tax wo find returned for South Caroona du
ing that year (1865-'06 is $269.30.
From the Assessor's Books, wo havo gathered
JU following estimates for tho current year.

TESTIMONIAL.
SHEFFIELD SCIENTIFIC SCHOOL, )

TALE COLLEGE, November 10, 1866. )
I have always recommended the Faber Polygrade
l>ead Pencils as the only pencils fitted for both ornamen
al and mathematical drawing; but, after a thorough
rial of 'V' American Polygrade Lead Pencils, man
liactnred by the American Lead Pencil Company, New
fork, I find them superior to any pencil in use, even tu
he Faber or the old English Cumberland Lead Pencil,
>eing a superior pencil for sketching, ornamental and
nechanicai drawing, and all the ordinary uses of a lead
lend!.
These pencils are very finely graded and have a very- ?
mooth lead ; oven the softest pencils hold the point well, .
hey are eil that can be desired in a penciL It gives mo -
rreat pleasure to be able to assure Americans that they
rill no longer be compelled to depend upon Germany ot- '
my other foreign market for penc'ls.
