J small of the back has created a good deal of
' indignation among some of the- Yankee papers.
The Chicago Times, commenting on it, Kays :
"The farmer brands his cipher upon bis
hog; the slave driver, inc ase of an incorrigible
slave, brauds a letter upon his hand; the
I French, iu their days of barbarism, branded
*} the infamous T. E\ P. upon the shoulder of
the galley slave; but to-day the only white
men on earth who arc forced to undergo what
\ civilization long since rejected as too scandai
lous and ignominious are the people who call
su themselves Americans. Is it not utterly shamefull
that men to whom has "decendcd the lieriAl
tage of Washington aud the Patriots of the
*! Revolution should to-day be not onl y the abject
; slaves of a coarse, brutal tyraut, but that his
' ;J minions should brand upon their backs marks
< which have ever distinguished the vilest crim
\ inals? If the once proud sovereigns of this
\ country must become .impoverished, and lose
i fliniw ^ '
men -uvea in uueuicuce ro [no miscreant lit
; Washington, can they not be allowed to seek
poverty and find their graves without bearing
upon their bodies the iufauious brand of criminals?"
A Substitute.?A Wealthy gentleman in
New Jersey, a few days since, enlisted as a
i- substitute a stalwart and patriotic Canadian,
pitying him 8300, and expending a considerable
sum for an outfit. When they parted, the
recruit promised, at the request of his prineij
pie, to write at the first opportunity. The
| gentlymah was a little surprised at receiving a
< letter from his man dated Quebec, informing
j him that his money hail enabled the substitute
and his wife to set up a corner grocery, and
that they were doing well, and that if his pat|
ron would give him a call. lie. should have a
drink gratis.? Yankee paper. ' j

with your opinion of the question presented by
i it, I beg leave to say that I do not think it was
the purpose of Congress to tax the necessary

States. Such an interpretation of the law
'i would be without precedent and its execution
' i would*be. annoying and offensive to the last
degree to the public, whilst the tax derived
from it would be utterly insignificant.
I respectfully request, therefore, that you
1 will instruct, if it bo necessary, your assessors
and collectors to forbear laying or demanding
any tax upon necessary wearing apparel.
Very respectfully,

Eiciiangi: of Prisoners at Savannah.?The j
Richmond Whig, of the 17th inst., saj-s: We suppose |
we will not have here after regular arrivals of a Hag of
truce boat at Yarina as Captain Hatch of the bureau
of Exchange will go someiimo during the week to Savannah,
to superintend the exchange of ton thousand
prisoners to he made at that point.
The Guardian ol Satuidav says:
"We regret to learr.. that in an engagement Oct. I
13th, in the Valley of Virginia, near Strar.hurg, Gen. j
James Conner lost a log, and Col. W. I). Rutherford,
ol the 3d Regiment, was killed, llis remains have
gone up to Newberry for burial."
The telegrams of this morning say Gen. Conner was
wounded in the leg on the 13th, hut makes no mention
of his wound causing amputation. We hope it
may prove hut slight. South Carolina has sent no
purer patriot or accomplished otlicer, to light her hatlies,
than Gei. Conner.

menis for blockading the port arc good, and will hold j
so perhaps a in onili longer, when they all will be'
swept away by the rude blasts of Winter. This North
Carolina coast is. in winter, tin most dangerous in the 1
world; and when iho wiutersots in, the blockades J
must stand oft'to sea, or they will inevitably be blown ;

The Mormons.?The Mormons, according
to their own census, are decreasing in Utah.?
*In 1S5G they numbered 38,000; in 1857, only
31,022, and in 1858; aboitt 30,000. They
claim, however, that they arc increasing in tbo
country at large, and in the world, and they
ascribe the diminution in Utah to temporary
causes and absences. It is computed thai
there are 32,000 in Great Britain and Ireland:
and 7000 on the continent of Europe, besidesome
5000 in Canada, 4000 in California, and
several thousand in the Eastern States and
South America. Altogether they number 128,000.
Utah is th<j only place where they prat

! ilio only place where they do not increase.
