C., June 27,18C3. ,1 abalt wdMTor to classify tie objects end subjects of taxation ootning within the Act of Congress, entitled " An Aet to lay Una for the common defence, and carry on the Qorernnoent of the Confederate Slates," ia such manner aa to aid and assist the Collectors and Aslessors in South Carolina hi the construction of the Act, and iu the execution of their work. , It will be seen by oarefully reading the Tax Aet; that the taxes imposed by it are somewhat different in the year' 1863, from what they will be is the feacs 1864 and 1805, during which period the Act is to remain of force. The Act does not propose a tax upon lands, negroes, dro., the usual subjects jf taxation in this Stats, in the usual node, as was the esse in the War Tax >f 1861, but instead thereof it proposes I tax that will rlach all kinda of property owned in same shape, and" besides ibis will reach all kinds of profits derived from whatever source, aud intends io make every person in the Confederate Slates contribute in soroo way to be support ef the war. This is the main idea and key to the Act, and diould be kept steadily in view by each Assessor and Collector in carrying ont .he provisions of the Act. The whole Aet may be thus carsified : Class I.? , i tax on certain property. Class II.? i tax on certain callings or bu.-iness.? Class HI.?a tax on salaries as such. Close IV.?a tax on all incomes.? Class V.?a tax on certain speculation. Class VI.?a tax in produce or kind. LJoder one or the other of these general classes or heads all of the objects or mbjects of taxation may be very conveniently arranged, as-will hereafter ap[>ear. ' ' . , I ( *1 A AG.

ATI per sons holding or owning cotton, rice or tobacco, will be taxed upon it. 9- If a planter Jias sold 'bis crop of cotton the proceeds will be inedtne, and the income will be taxed under another class, but tbe Layer holding the cotton will be taxed upon H under this class. 4. So with rice or tobacco, or fiour tbe pro ceeds of sale in the hands of the producer will be taxed as capital as well as income, the property itself will be taxed in the bands of the buyer or , holder. 5. Cotton in tbe bands of the manufacturer will be valued and taxed '8 per eent., but the money actually paid for the raw mateiud will bo deducted from his gross earnings to get at bis income, which will be taxed under an* olher elas?. 6. A factor holding cotton fbr the.producer must pay the tax of fr per cent, on its value, sad e)>Vge the producer therewith (?o with rice o> tobftcoo.) T. A party bold* cotton in this country which he bee hypothecated in ?urop?i {to be delivered after the war,) wed upon this contract baa imported goods, the petty holding such cotton* must pay a Tax. of 8 per cent, oq tts value, the good* thus imported will be taxed-under another clase. 8. If the goods be held and not put. on sale, the profits win nc4 be taxed at au estimated value, but the Act requires- a sale be* fgto It levies a tax. 9. If a factor or c<S(tu)tu?io? merchant baa fold cotton, Ac., for the producer, the sale is pot taxed, ta the bands of the faoter, but must be returned by the producer under. tnMbts rises, as his inmsrts. Ul.

I. !l I % I S the 1st Jtolj, 1868, there is no exeep- o lion in the Act; nil money will j>sy a' Ji tax of 1 per oet>L, then if this money ii be. tnooroe for the year 1863, or a part si for that year, it jrill pay on 1st Janus U ary, 1804,aUx as income. u 3. The value of all credits in which the interest has not been paid will be a taxed at 1 per oent. 1. By "credits" A are meant bonds, notes, judgments, ex- 1< ecutions, decrees, stocks, open 'ccounl* m due and unpaid, and all obligations or at liabilities whatever for tho payment of money. 2. If any are worthless, the tax payer will be exempt upon proof be- ^ fore the assessor of such fact. 8. By w ibe words " on .which tho interest has ? not been paid" as qualifying " credits," t) is meant that if the interest ha? been e, paid this will bo taxed as income if in. q< lerest has not been paid, the "credit" n itself will bo taxed as so much property ol at 1 per cent, on its value. 4. If any' rf these credits are daily used in due hi Bourse of n registered business,or where 13, the income from them will be taxed under another class, such credits will not , be taxed under this class, fi. The 1st Section of the Act which imposes a tax F on credits must be construed in conuec- C( lion with the 8th Section which taxes g income. The scheme of the law is to lay an alternative tnx on per cent, on ^ capital, or 5, 10 or 15 per cent, on in C( comes. It is not designed to levy a ^ tax upon the capital and again upon the interest; and this idea tho -word* of ^ the law are intended to convey when y ihey speak of credits upon which the in- ^ Let-tat has not l>cen paid. The income ^ lax is laid upon all interests and profits t received during the year 1803 ; and consequently the capital tax is not dotiornpfl 1ft La lsairl ttium ll?o rrA/lilo w)tiolt I | ? produce .that interest. We nro thus Furnished with a rule for our guidnnce, *nd it follows that the tax of one per * cent, in not imposed on credits upon ^ which the interest due prior to tllP 1st ^ July has been paid ; and on the other ] hand, if euch interest has not been paid, ^ then there having been no income to bo taxed, ike tax falls upon the capital. ^ lu this connection I would alto remark 0' iti respect to the " value of credits, that ^ this means tils priuclpnl and interest not paid of all solvent credit*, and the ' estimated value when the holder will ^ swear that such credits are not believed by him to b*. worth the principal and ^ interest. And next as to crodits em- * ployed in a business the income of which ^ is taxed under the Act. Those are also tj exempt from the capital tax of one per (j cent. But to entitle tl.em to ?ucb e^? ^ einption the credits must actually form ? ? part of, tt?id ho exclusively used in ^ carrying on such business. They uiuet grow out of tbo tegular transactions of | the business on account of which ex? einption is claimed ;and the money de? (| rived from the credits when paid most e be used in such business, otherwise they are not exempt. 0. The same opin- j ion will apply to Confederate bonds or stock. In caro of credits where the interest is payable at stated peiiods, and has been- paid up to the period -when it last fell due, aud the 1st of July intervenes before the next stated period for paying interest arrives then all interest which the holder has a legal right to demand has been pnid, and the credits so situated are not taxable un Jor Section 1st. This applies to all corporate or State bonds and slocks upon which the iuterest is pay- g able, and has been paid at stated periods. | But th a interest derived mil such bonds during the whole year of 1803, will Le .{ taxable as income on tl>? 1st day of t January next, subject to the conditions f of Section 8th of the Tax Act. The f tax upon interest when paid as income ( is deemed and held as an equivalent | for the tax upon the credit a* capital , when the interest hae not been paid.? , AH of the taxea in Class L will bo cob j lected on tbe let day of October 1803. j II. Ct,Asa.?A Tax on certain eall- i ings or business. Under this class are I taxed twenty five different callings, ooro- | tnencing with " Bankers," and ending I with " Confectioners." 1st. Tbey have i to be registered as tbe Act directs. 2. i Under this class, a first class Hotel would pay a apeoifie tax ef #500, and a tax on profits under another class, as * intjonae." '3. If the hotel building be wit owned by tlie proprietor, his-rent wW be ^Quoted from the profits; If owned' by tbe proprietor, the ealb mated rental will be'added in under another class of taxation, m '* income." Tbia rule WlH apply to nil hotels in the Act. 4. In ?I1 registered buftineaa, where there is nothing but the specifl) Us imposed nod no per cent ago named, (such u on bankers, lawyers, brokers, j?lr yai.| ciana, Ac.,) their " profits " will t?a taxed under Another elaae, <u to much Add ed to their " income.*1 5.

VVheq h suincieut number otvnou, say forty or j fifty, have b&en raised, elect company officers, establish a company rendezvous of all the companies; whan this has been done, tha officers can meet at some central or both, men and officers might, meet, and elect a .Colonel Lieut. Colonel and Major, who wifl organize the Regiment thoroughly. Thj troops should be mounted, 'for none others would !>? available, except probably artillery com panies at the towns, and should bo coin posed of non?qpnscripta, that-the organ 'ization may not be interfered wHb. The next difficulty to be overcomo ia the want of ammunition and arms. If the colonel will make out a requisition upon either the Slato or Confederate authorities, for fifty or sixty rounds to the man, for sucb arms as they jnay have, shot guns, pistols, rifles, Ac;, exhibiting his muster rolls at the same time, there is no doubt but that ammunition would be cheerfully issued aud such arms as could be spared. Tfce Colonel theD issues this to his captains, who issues it . to his raoD, each party taking receipts, and the men carries it home, until needed. Well, the noxt obstaclo is the dilfi cutty ot assembling at tho company and Regimental rendezvous. This cau bo accomplished by signals, such as-making a largo brush-heap in each neighborhood, on an elevated position, to be ] fired in case of alarm, or tho exhibition pf white ting* or-any signal that the "cJfficers may agree upon. The brush hemp signal has been practically rosor ted to in the army of Northern Virginia, when pickets have been posted at a long dislanoe.
