Allon, Greenville._' THE COTTON TAX,-An Augusta correspondent of the Cincinnati Com? mercial says: "A few toots, concerning a grand eoheme which has for ita object the recovery of all tax that has been paid upon cotton, have come to my know? ledge within the last few days, which no doubt will be of considerable in? terest to the public, from the fact that there is a great principle and an immense amount of money involved. Herschel Y. Johnson, of this State, is one of the principal parties con? cerned, aud is in company with other prominent politicians and lawyers. "One of the influential friends al? luded to by Mr. Johnson, in the cir? cular which he is scattering over the North, is Charles O'Connor, of New York, They already have about 5,000,000 of these claims for the re? funding of taxes paid upon cotton by parties in this State alone, while thoir colleagues in Alabuma have up? wards of 20,000,000, and oonfldeutly cxpeot to have 80,000,000 collected together by the time Congress con? venes, when they will present the matter, with all of its merits, and offer a bonus of 30,000,000 to carry it through. In the event of success, they will return 40,000,000 to the tax payers and retain the other 10,000,000 for services rendered. Should this scheme prove successful, the result can readily be foreseen, and the en? tire amount of revenue which had been accrued from that source will bavo to be refunded. Th? crop of cotton raised this year is larger, no doubt, than any yield since 1861, and that fact, with tho increased foreign production, has so reduced the price (it only being worth 12^<?c. to-day) that many planters say they will be utterly unable to meet their obliga? tions, and seem to anticipate nothing short of bankruptcy and financial f' lin, as, in almost every instance, ueir crops have beeu pledged to the ommi89ion houses for the payment of advances made early in the sea? son, upon estimates greatly in excess of the present prices." TROTH WELL SAU>.-We extract tho following paragraph from an article in the New York Titties, of the 81st ultimo: The people, in our judgment, do not look with satisfaction on the prac? tical results of Republican action as those results are now developing in the Southern States. Too much of justice aud of peace has been sacri? ficed to party ambition. The blacks have got, not only their rights, but a degroo of political power which thoy aro not qualified to exercise, and which they are likely to uso for tho oppression of the whites, the embroil-, meut of society, and tho rum of the communities which thoy are allowed to rule. Tho Republican party is not free from doubt and distrust as to tho tendenoy of measures for which it is hold responsible. A large portion of its members do not regard with entice complacency tho drift and probable results of the policy, which it has been made tho means of imposing upou tho country; and nothing bul Sae. dread o? LLiuwiug tho whole work of political recon? struction agaiu into confusion, and jiazarding valuable results which have already been secured, will restrain them from imposing a salntary check ?pon the reckless and selfish temper from which the Republican patty has already HiiQerod so much.

Rich ?ntl Spicy Correspondence. The Buffalo (N. Y.) Courier pub? lishes tue following correspondence, which it pronounces to be genuine : . Republican Campaign, 1867. COM. BOOMS, METROPOLITAN HOTEL, NKW YORK. October 7, 1SS7. To J. T. Wilson, Esq., Jamestown, .New York. DEAR Sm: For the purpose of de? fraying the proper and legitimate expenses of the approaching election, the State Committee are soliciting contributions from tho friends of the Union cause and tho beneficiaries of the Republican Union party. The amount which we have deem? ed it proper to ask you to contribute to aid in conducting the campaign, is sixty dollars, which you will please remit to Waldo Hutchins, Esq., No. 40 Wall street, New York. In view of the shortness of the canvass, an early response is request? ed. Yours, very truly, HAMILTON HARRIS, Ghairmau. LUTHER CALDWELL-, Secretary. THE REPLY. JAMESTOWN, N. Y., Oct. 15, 1867. MY DEAR HAMILTON : Your affec? tionate letter of the 7th, was duly re? ceived, and in reply, I would say that I am very well, never was better ; have you heard from Pennsylvania and Ohio ? Havo you heard from them, Hamilton, and how is your health ? Your friends here don't like it, and say, quite disgustedly, that this trading off whito votes at tho North for nigger votes at the South, "don't pay." Do you regard it as a profitable investment, Hamilton, and how much more of tho stock do you want ? It is for sale very cheap among tho members of the Union Republican party iu this locality. But in regard to that sixty dollars, (don't you wish you may get it,) which you so persuasively expect me to fork over 03 ouo of "the benefi? ciaries of the Republican Union par? ty." I will owu, M ann lt on, that I have derived many and great benefits from the party last aforesaid. I don't deny it. For instance, they have beneficently accumulated for me, in commou with the rest of tho people of tho United States, a great.national debt, which, we ull admit, is a great national blessing. They have replaced tho base and cumbrous metallic currency, that used to weigh a man down and im? pede locomotion, to say nothing about wearing holes in his pockets and disappearing iuconveniontly in the linings of his trousers, by light and airy currency, that costs but little to manufacture and nothing tc redeem, and which a man can carry around with ease iu large amounts, ii he can ouly got it. (Oh, if you could but get sixty dollars of mine. ) They have granted me tho glorious privilege of helping to furnish board and clothes to my odoriferous bre? thren of African desoent in thc Southern States, which blessed privi? lege they have wrested from the haudc of their late oppressors. Thej have multiplied offices and office? holders, aud raised all their salarie* and enriched contractors, and thus adding to the wealth of each indi? vidual, have increased tho aggregate of a national treasure. (Don't yon see it, Hamilton? I don't.) They have done away with th( slow, solemn and cumbrous forms and ceremonies of constitutional and civil law iu the administration of thc Government, and adopted tho mon expeditious and jovial ways of mili tary commission. They have given the odoriferous, kc, as aforesaid, a chance to vote, sit on juries, hold office, and dc everything but work and get ai honest living- that is, iu the South ern States. (They did go back or him in Ohio.) Now, in view of these and count less other benefits 1 havo received a their hands, don't you think yoi were altogether too modest in asking for only 360? I assure you, Hamil [ too, if you had asked for twice o even ten times as much, it wouh have been sent just as cheerfully, am you would have got it just as soon. Fleaso give my love to Waldo, am Lei! him when ho gets this 860,1 sha] expect him to spend it all in put t in down corruption, as you advertise to do at Syracuse the other day. Tell him, also, "in view of tb shortness of tho campaign," nott unnecessarily fatigue himself by goin too often to the post office after Mu $60, for if ho will only wait patientl a few days, ho won't get it. Adieu, Hamilton 1 Bo virtuous an yon will be happy. Tho rose is red, the violet's bim the lily's pure, and how are you? Your?, us ever, (just about,) JOHN T. WILSON. SPECIAL^ NOTICES. TAKE ? CHANCE.

EXTRACTS FROM LETTERS: "Tho Queen's Delight is beginning to awaken tho attention of onr physicians. Its remarkable curative power is seen in its wonderful fin.ct upon disease. As a blood purifier, there is no medicine like it known to the p;ofensi?n. A gentleman told me that his yon has been taking the Queen's Delight, and is more benefited by it than hy any ( thor medicine. He wants a dozen bottles." Extract from a letter: "It is due to yon to state in (hie public mannerim order that tho peoplo may know the truth, that I have tried your Queen's Delight, and found it not only what you said it was-"a Euro medicine"-but tho best medicine I ave ever taken tor eruptions and general bad health. I had an eruption all over my body, with impaired digestion and disor? dered liver, and have tried a great many medicines without any bonent. I have taken one bottle of your Queen's Delight, the oruptiou has disappeared, my appetite is better, my liver and digestion is im Eroved. I am satisfied ono or two more ottles will cure me." Extract from a letter: "At the close of the war, my constitution was shattered. I could not cat, sleep or perform any duty whatever, such was my prostrate condi? tion. Medicine and medical aid I had in abundance, such was my condition up to a few months since, when I began tho use of I your Queen's Delight. I have used two bottles, my constitution is greatly im? proved, my appetite is good, enjoy roi res li? ing sleep, ano am able to perform my share of daily labor." Extract from a letter-Wonderful effect of only one bottle: "I bavo used only a half bottle of 'Queen's Delight' for boils and eruptions of tho skin and itching hu- < mors of tho blood, which aunoyed mo very much. I am ontrrely enrcd. 1 think your medicine a valuable one." A remarkable caso of liver complaint and headacho enred by the use of "iloinitsh's Queen's Delight:"" A lady of unquestioned worth and reputation voluntarily gives tes? timony of tho wonderful effects of thia medicine. Sho bas been from carly years a martyr to' headaches, caused by imper? fect action of the liver, producing intense headache and pain over the ovos. She bas taken only four bottles, and assnres us of the porfoct euro it has mado. She now en? joys good health. Still another: "During last spring, I had been troubled with obstinate chills and fever, which, when cured, left my system in a wretched condition, blood impure, and I was afflicted with an angry, and, as I at one timo thought, an incurable, cutaneous eruption over my entire body. Tho most violent remedies suggested failed to work a cure, until, at tho instance of a friend, I tried Dr. Heinitsh's Queen's Delight. Less than two bottles cured mo, leaving my skin in a healthy condition. My general health is as good as ever. For such purposes, I have, ovor since my eure, unhesitatingly recommended yonr Queen's DeUgbt." Don't buy any but tho right kind. AU genuino Queen's Delight bas tho copy-right mark on tho outsido, and it is tue only medicine which produces those wonderful oures. For salo wholesale and retail at FISHER A HEINITSH'S ?pri!
