The following in relation to the j income tax on cotton sales contains j official information which may be ol importance to some of our renders : TREASURY DEPARTMENT. OFFICE INTERNAL REV'E DEPT, WASHINGTON, May 19, 1SGG. SIR: Your letter of May 13, ad? dressed to Hon. Secretary of the Treasury, in relation to income from sales of cotton in 18fiC, has been re? ferred to this office. I reply, that there ure numerous instances in the law where two or more distinct taxes are imposed upon the same receipts. For instance, the manufacturer pays a tax ou all his products, and a license tax for the business of manufacturing, and in addition an income tax on his nett profits. Other examples might be adduced to show that it is not con? trary to the spirit of the law to im? pose two or more taxes upon the same gross receipts. The payment of the tax of two cents per pound on cotton, does not therefore relieve the owner from pay? ment of income tax on his income from the sale of such cotton. Such a tax of two cents per pound may, however, be deducted from the gross income of the year when it was actu? ally paid. It appears, however, that yon sold your cotton for tho market price less such tax. You should, therefore, return as income the price actually received, without further de? duction for such tax. The law expressly requires all pro? duce of the estate, sold during the ?ear, to be returned as income, 'herefore the time when such pro? duce was raised cannot be taken into account. The amount of produce sold by the farmer each year, is, on an average, equal to the amount raised for sale, and hence no injustice arises from this provision of the law. Very respectfully, D. C. WHITMAN, Deputy Commissioner. To SAM'IJ FREEMAN, ESQ., Ncvvnan, Georgia. COMMODORE J. R. TUCKER.-Com? modore John Randolph Tucker, late of the Confederate navy, has received the appointment of the supreme command of the Peruvian navy, with the title of Admiral, and he departed on the 1st instant from New York for Peru. Admiral Tucker was, by ar? rangement with the Peruvian Gov? ernment, permitted to take with him his staff of officers, and was accom fanied in his departure by Capt. D. ?. McCorkle, of this State, and Lieut. Burt, of Norfolk. Capt. McCorkle is to take command of ono of the vessels, and Lieut. Burt is to be flag lieutenant to the Admiral. I The State of Peru could have se? lected no where a superior sailor or a more spirited and accomplished com? mander than Admiral Tucker, lie is a native of Norfolk, and was amongst tho first in that corps of naval officers, which we believe was superior to any in the world the officers of the United States navy before the war. A more gallant gen jjVeaaan never trod the deck of a ves bcl-while tho grace and dignity of his deportment, and the gentleness and sincerity of his character, com? manded for him everywhere the re? spect and love of his associate?. All who knew him deplore that he wits forced to leave his native, land for employment; but the good wishes of his friends and country men attend him to his adopted country, and his successes will ever be hailed hero with joy.-Richmond Dispatch. --<????? - A Texas editor, reviewing the ei\ il rights bill and the Texas papers that Pretended to approve it, says: "We ave buried the hatchet-yes, and we have eaten dirt enough to cover if forever-but, aa some emphatic writer says, 'd-d if wo havemuch respect lor the man who pretends that he likes it.' " Two On i IJDKKN IX ONE.-A. RE I MAKKABJLK FBEAK OP N ATURE.-The I Washington Star, of Saturday after? noon, give?, tho following account of ; a wonderful birth near that city: I On Thursday morning, the wife of j Mr. John liarnhardt, residing in I Uniontowu, was delivered of a child j which is a great curiosity in its way, i almost outrivaling the SiameReTwins. ! This child has two perfect heads, well I covered with hair, aud ure beautifully j featured, four arms, the bodies being I united just below thom, two spinal j columns which unite in oue pelvis, I two breast boues, but only oue pair ? of well formed legs. The physicians j who have sueu tliis wonderful freak of nature, are under the opinion that there are certainly two hearts, two ! lungs, and that perhaps a portion of j the digestive organs ave also double, I the two bodies not apparently losing their individuality until they reach the pelvis, and even at this- point, where it is apparent, ono body is male; there is some sign the other is female. The features of oue bears t the resemblance of n female and tho j other a nude. One of tho bodies, or I rather one side of the body, was born ! alive, aud lived some time afterbirth, I and the other died in the birth. \ This is thu first product ol' the mar ! riage of the parties. The mother is i a young and healthy woman of about tweuty years of age, from the neigh? borhood of Lynchburg, Virginia, and the father is a nativo of Germany, about twenty-five or twenty-six years , old. Tho father was iu the anny, ? and served in the neighborhood of I Lynchburg, where he married the I mother ou the 11th of August last. It has not been definitely determined i aa to what disposition will be made of the bodies, but at tho present they are nt Dr. Scollay's embalming es? tablishment, where they have beru placed" iu alcohol. Notwithstanding the bodies are fully developed, ami measure nearly eight inches across the shoulders, tho mother is doing remarkably well. A LITTLE ROMANCE.-The grand? father of Gen. Robert E. Lee waa u rival of Cien. Washington in a love affair. Thc object of their nffectior. was the beautiful Miss Grimes, th? first love of Washington, and whoa he celebrated as 'the lowland beauty. Lee was successful and bore oil' tin prize. The son of this marriage, "Light Horse" Harry Lee, wa: always held in great friendship bj Washington; and Irving, in lib biography, suggests that the memory of this tenderness for the mother wa not without its influence in connec tion with the son. This friendship continued betweer them until the death of '"the fathe of his country." Maj. (len. Henr Lee was a gallant officer, the autho of "Memoirs ol' the War in th .South;" Governorof Virginia in 1791 an advocate of tho Federal Constitu tion in the Virginia Convention; : ! member of Congress when Washing ton died; appointed by Congress t< deliver the eulogy on the occasion and in his eulogy originated th classic words : First in war, first i; ' peace, and first in the hearts of hi ] countrymen." .-+ . ?

Duels have been frequent iu Hava? na recently. One was between a Cuban, named Domingo Ouiral and Lieut. Col. Prado, in which the Lieutenant-Colonel was killed. Auother between a Cuban, named Autonio L. Brid?t, aud Col. Juan Echemeudia, in which thoy fought with pistols, nt twenty paces, Mr. Bridat killing his opponent immedi? ately. Mr. Bridat is a young man, nearly twenty-five years old, very amiable, educated, and a good patri? ot, although a bitter enemy to Spain. While beiug tried, before his release by the people, he treated the authori? ties with contempt. He belongs to the best families and is wealthy. Thc Governor-General has offered $5.000 for his apprehension, and pro? hibited the papers from saying any? thing about the matter. Tun COXFEUEUXTK DEAL? AT GET XfsnrRo.-TheGettysburg(Pa.) Com ?iler, of Juno ll, publishes a revised st of the Confederate dead that lio buried on the Gettysburg battle-field. The Comp Uer says : "The list has been gotten np for the purpose of enabling relatives to recover their dead with certainty, thus saving them the trouble and ex? pense of a fruitless search after those not marked. Dr. O'Neal has no direct or indirect interest in this matter, and is moved only by a com? mon feeling of humanity." TUB KHODE ISLAND LEOISLATTKE. Tho little State of Khode Island has a model Legislature. That body ad? journed on Friday last, after a session of four days, during which no less than eighty-three Acts aud resolu? tions wcro passed. Rhode Island law-makers must be paid by the job. and not by tho day, or else they are chosen from that clans of useful citi? zens who do not go to the Legisla? ture to make a living out of tho busi? ness. Some other Legislatures might learn a profitable lesson from the Rhode Islanders. The Chicago Republican, which wrns lately the fierce assailant of the Administration and the eulogist, of the. extremists in Congress, now says; Unless Mr. Stevens and his associates iu Congress hasten up tho important work of restoring the Union, they will find that the country does not caro a snap for them, but does care very much for an immediate restora? tion of practical peace iu all parts of the Union. Gen. Davis has been instructed to obey the writ of habeas corpus in the case of Isham Henderson, at Nash? ville, tried by military court; but Henderson says he is confident of being able to prove his innocence even before a military court, and as it has commenced there, he wants to soc it through, and don't care about insisting on his right tn be tried by a civil tribunal. The Supreme Court of Pennsylva? nia, at a recent session at Harrisburg, decided, iu thc case of Elnora Mohn, of Lehigh County, that a woman can bc indicted as a common scold. SPECIAL NOTICES.
