Almost every? thing is made of paper, from money to hats and shirt collars and even water pipes.

Bat the reporter does not explain what he means. -The "White Fawn" burst brilliantly upon New York. Niblo's was densely crowded. The papers say the dance of the "Fire Flies" ia a ballet of striking originality; tho fairy creatures caper about with torohes on their heads, and there is a march of little fishes and an adaptation of the principal effect of a London pantomime called "The House'ithat Jack Bndt."

B. Smith. As the war had deprived the major not only of a limb, but of his substance and means of living, be took with him to Balti? more Little save a letter or two of introduction and the certificate of honorable service that, his maimed person afforded. Bu : these were enough for the warm-hearted 1 ?altimoreins. He had no need for money. Not only were all bis wants ministered to, but e\ery attention that hospita'ity, courtesy and sympathy could suggest was bestowed, and the Borvices of the most skilful surgeon in America were rendered gratuitously. Major Wall ia now in Bichmond, on his return home, not only relieved of the pain that his amputated limb b id given him, but possessing other valuable mementoes of the kindness and generosity o:' newly made friends in Baltimore. They have large hearts and warm ouee, those Baltimore^ ns." CHARLESTON. FRIDAY MORNING, JANUARY 24,1868. Tbe Tax on Incoir.eg. Every dweller in our good old city has the privilege of paying taxe- to three cor? porations. He owes tribute I o the United States, to the State of South Carolina, and lastly to the City of Charleston. The United States tax is ST: per cent, on all incomes over one thousand dollars allowing a deduction, however, for house rent. The State has laid a tax of .wo and a half per oent. upon all gross incomes derived from employments, faculties aid profess.ons. The City Tax bill for 18(18, printed in THIS NEWS of Wednesday, levies a tax of " three dollars on every hundred dollars of gross income, and all gross profits derived from the pursuit of any faculty, profession, occupation or employment, cr from the ex? ercise of any offioe," etc, " payable month? ly." This is unquestionably a heavy tax, but not quite so onerous an some people seem to think, who urge th it ? three per cent, payable monthly is equal to thirty-six per oent. per annum." This is a misappre? hension of the terms of the ordinance. The returns are to be made monthly, and the tax to be paid on the amount returned. Of course no one will return the same profits, salary, or inoome of any deioriplion, more than onoe ; and be will thus only pay tax once-t. e., three per cent., and not thirty six per cent. In the case of capitalists, whose chief revenue is fron stocks, bonds, etc, the dividends or interest upon which is only paid onoe or twioe a year, it would seem to us impracticable to make monthly returns. The State and city tax :s are upon all incomos, without any minimum limit. A man with an income of one thousand dollars thus pays twenty-five dollars to the State, thirty dollars to the city, and nothing (t. e., no inoome tax) to the United States. If 1 his inoome is two thousand dollars, he pays fitly dollars to the State, sixty dollars to the city, and (if five hund? ed dollars in ex? empted for house rent, and one thousand dollars needful expenses of living) twenty five dollars on the remaning five hundred dollars to the United States. So that one thousand dollars inoome piys a tax of fifty five dollars, and two thou ?and dollars pays one hundred and thirty-five dollars. These are the direct taxes upon incomes. We need not say that ever y merchant, pro? fessional man, indeed oven man, woman and i child, makes additional contribution to the revenue, in the payment cf lioenses, in the purchase of stamps, in the additional price placed upon every article of household con? sumption, because of the onerous customs : duties, or the oomplex and exorbitant In? ternal Revenue tax. Fr alu and Vegetables. We have from time to time taken occasion to speak of what is now often denominated the "minor industries." We have endeav? ored to induoo our agricultural friends to plant less cotton, and de; ote more attention to cereals, to stook rais-.eg, and to various other pursuits, for which our soil and olimate are known to be adapted. Prominent among these is the ou)ture of fruit and vegetables. In some pirts of the State, in and around Aiken particularly, this sour co of industry has commande! consid? erable attention for a number of years, and even before the war orought remunera? tive returns to those engaged in it. In Columbia, also, and vicinity, a few gentle? men have for years expended much time, labor and money, in intelligent experiments in vine and fruit culture. The people at large, the yeomanry of the land, have, how? ever, not yet taken hold, of the matter ; and peaches and grapes, generally, have receiv? ed but little more nurtire than their lees worthy compeers, the persimmon or the "bulleses." There are fine and extensive orchards in different parts of the State, and their pro? prietors are entitled to the gratitude of the public; for they havu demonstrated that South Carolina has a oapacity for producing the fruits of almost every clime. Oranges, lemons, apples, pears, plums, almonds, grapes, cherries, nuts, strawberries, cur? rants, watermelons, figs, apricots-in short, all the choioest fruits of the temperate zone, and many of what are usually called West ludia fruits, can be produced in perfection within the limits of our State. Let any one skeptical on these points visit the large and splendid orchards of Chancellor WM. D. JOHNSON, or of Major B. D. TOWNSEND, of Bennettsville, and he will find that our assertions are borne out by facts. From the latter gentleman we learned, some time ago, that he was making arrange? ments to establish a large fruit farm at Society Hill, in company wita Mr. CARY (brother of General ii. F. CAST, M. C., from Cincinnati), an old, experienced, and very succes8fal farmer and gardener, who under? stands the science ac well as the art of hor? ticulture and arboriculture. We sincerely hope that nothing may hinder this experi? ment from being fairly tried, and, moreover, that it may prove successful ; for it is only by successful exampl i that we can reasonably hope to convert our people from the old and traditional mode of planting. 1 General Grant. Mi LIT AB Y HISTORY or ULYSSES 8. GRANT, from April, 1861, to April 18. 1865. By Adam Bsdeau, Colonel and Aide-de-camp to the General-iu-Chief, Brevet Brigadier-General United Slates Army. Volume 1. New York : D. Appleton & Co., 443 and 445 Broadway. 1868. Charleston : John Bussell. Colonel BADEAU, in preparing his mili? tary history of General GRANT, had access to the records of the United States War Department as well as to the captured mil? itary papers of the Confederate States. The official dispatches and letters of Gene? ral GRANT were at Colonel BADE AD'S dis? posal, and he had every opportunity of con imlting with those who played the most con? spicuous parts in ?he events which he has en? deavored to describe. It is, therefore, sur? prising that the volume now before should possess so little interest and so few attractions; and, unless it is admitted that the subject of tho memoir is so dull that no recital of his public acts could awaken interest or enthusiasm, tho presumption is that the omission of details of personal habits and manners, and the circumstance that the author was not an eye-witness of ? General GRANT'S earlior successes, are the causes of its comparative failure. The style of the book is plain and techni? cal, without being vigorous or dramatic, and, while many of the extracts given from hitherto unpublished dispatches will be read with care, there are many others whioh have been published because they were written by GRANT, and not on account of their intrinsic importance. Tho book is illustrated with excellent maps and plans, and the print is clear and neat. It is a pity that Colonel BADEAU oould not have published his work at once in a complete form, for if the volume yet to ap? pear is no more graphic that that whioh doses with the operations of the winter of 1863-64, the first literary effort of Colonel BADEAU will have brought him no honor and General GBANT no profit. /or Sole.

It has been used for many years in the West India Islande in the cultivation or Sugar Cane and cereals with great success; was introduced for tac first tims to the fanners and planters of the United States In the sprinf of 1866, and has met wi. h unprecedented success, a a the subjoined reports and testimonials tul? ly corroborate. The BODUNDA GUANO is not a mineral 'phos? phate, renoir ng the action of the Sulphuric Acid to render lt loluble; ita great power as a fertilizer is in its entire solubility, without the aid of add. It ls not a 'manipulation" or Compound af r lah or Flesh with Min eral Phosphates, the regularity of which is always uncertain and dependent upon, and controll? ed by the honesty ot the manufacturer. The BO? DUNDA .?a a PURE NATU BAL GUANO (that term being understood tornean the excrement of flsh-ent ing bird i), as the large per centage of organic mat? ter sufficiently attests, and aa found upon tho Island of Bod uii. da, In the very state as imported and soldi to consumers. 1 he regularity and uniformity of the fineness and condition of the Tarions cargoes already imported by us into the United states, tested by the analysis of the moat eminent Chemists of this country and Eu? rope, ls Tufflcient proof of He origin and a guaran ee or our ability to lurnish this Guano of the quality and purity represented. The P BICE of the ?ODUNDA GUANO ia not the least unimportant In these days of agricultural com? petition and pecuniary embarrassment. The very low price at which lt can be sold places it within the reach of every farmer, and avoids the risk of large loss frequently incurred by failures of the crops lr the pure nate of high priced fertilisers. In thb preparation of lands for Wheat and other cereals ibis Guano postease? properties that reoder it more desirable for these crops than any yet offered to the public ?
