Direct Taxes?Interesting to Land Owners.?By tho act oT Congress of the 1 6tl> of August, 1301, ft direct tax of $20.OCJ^.OOO was levied upon Innds and houses iu all the States in the ion, tliow of the South as well as those of tiia North. The nmount was Apportioned among the Slates, and full arrangements were mudo for the collection of the Batno by J the usual machinery of asse^smc-Kt and collection. At" the same time privilege wa9 given to each, >of the Ecveral Siaten to assutne their pro. portions of tho tex, and pay it at on^e. I,"..

Moat of them paid it without knowing exactly that they were doing so. Hence, so little was said about direct taxaft that the bqrden was scarcely felt to be ' one in the loyal States., But iri> the disloyal States the existence of tire tax will, doubtless, be well known hereafter and cause some trouble.

I3ut hero is the letter. Read it: Fort Pulaski, Nov. 8, 1805. My Dear ; It co-la me an cflfort to seat myself and write you, because the subject of my letter is always a matter of great eon?eqnenee to go, and ablhe same time of great |fg)ib!e to my friend?, who are able to do anything for me. And the tbought^that the eight of ray handwriting j brings snnoyancc to my friends ia to me a source oi inexpressible pain. Still, my condition here is so torturing* to me that, instigated by the letters- which my fellow prisoners have received to day, I am forced to write you and a*k if it is not possible to accomplish my liberation. Every other Governor of a reconstructed State is at Targe.. Every other judge pf the United States who resigned is at large. Every other judge obthe Confederate States is at large.

Or will it he snid that I closed the couft and stopped tho action of the government ? Could I close tf>o court; except 60 far a9 I was the judge, by my resignation ? Could not a successor have been appointed ? Could not Judge -bay# opened the court! Could not all#.bu8jneBS have bcoo under the law transferred to the courts of Georgia No tnalter what my private opinions may Lave been, you know that opposition to tbo movement in the State was utterly idle* You know that the ?qly .organized parly ra the State by ^^dsilion bad been made was broken ' up, and tbat its leading member? in different parts of the Stale has dissolved its unity. In tRe summer of 1860 Mr. Boyce published his letters, in which be urged separate State action in the event of Mr. Lincoln's leieotion, although-lie bad boon one of the Menders of tile anti-secession party in 1850." YoU knew tbat soon after Mr. Orr published hia letters, in which he counselled a movement as soon as four States were rea dy to act. Yoti know that these and other leaders having thus spoken, there came to be but one purpose everywhere, and all felt that upon tbe*happenirigof the conligency which was then contemplated the cboico rnjist be mhde b7 all whether they wpuld go with the State. Is not all this true? YVhoinew .more of the facts than you?

My assurance t>f future obedience to the government is given in the strongest terms. .My willingness lo aid in carrying out tlie policy of the government and reassuring the harmonious union of the States is expressed in language as sincere and strong as tiny one ha6 used. Can I not, under such circumstances, have that relief which my .discharge 011 parole would afford? If the President i9 so disposed, let the pardon depend^ upon my conduct in the future. Is thi9 asking 1 - . . - f too much? . Can it bo obtained ? I would not trouble you again if I knew^apy other to whom I could write, and who wculi be able to act in the matter. Yours, very truly, G.

"Wo all like to have our children acquire t, a graceful polish of manner, which may n make Ihem winning and attractive in so>t ciety; but it is to bo feared that wo seldom n go to tho root of - ^ie matter, and search e out tho workings of this great motive powift or of conventional life.

When we seo wefl.meant . ~ civilities unacknowledged, except by a ^ fashionable atare or repulsive frown, or j. mark the distinction conferred upon dress iO and equipage, while elderly plain persons rs arc shrunk from, a3 if tlioy carried oon? lamination in their skirts, we may conclude c ? * [ that the oflonding parlies liavo not?to U3e | m a common phrase?bean "brought up Ht right," although they may bo considered m iu their owu circlg as the creme de lacreme ||j ?the very elite of society?and be well J0 versed in all the airs and graces of Chestcrficldian?, or artificial politeness. That was a lovely little girl, who, when attending General Washington to the door (3 of her father's mansion, being told by the great man?"My dear, I wish you a better to office than to let me out," Answored^weetly, "Yes, sir, to let you in." What n gracoful reply 1 full of all the nobility of imlural, and, therefore, true politeness.

Depend upon it, mothers, that your son, if hnbitually polite and courteous, in the little * circumstancespf home life, will not call j up a blush upon your face when you meet with hiin among strangers?that your j daughter, who Las been educated in the practice of that groat precept?"Be y?

Should her voice be calm nod dispassionate, theirs will usually acquire a low, sweet modulation; and in the same ratio, if her manners are coarse and inelegant,* will bo these multiplied copios of her vulgarities. To be habitually polite with them, will then scarcely fail bf a return in kind, and these silken threads if politenea and?efinoment, woren in from * * ' the very beginning with the coarser fabrie of everyday lift*, will become inwrought, * part of their very being.

Tub Bonnet Question.?The ladies are rebelling, against, the winter ^ fashion for bonnets. The principal fit a wholesale millinery house -iuforms us that his cua?. tomers never purchased "bonnet frames" with equal reluctance. The buggy-top pattern requires a large amount of material, and makes a very email show for it. Moreover, the show,, when it is made, is anything bat graceful. To construct m bonnet over the gig top frame requires three-fourths of a yard of material, Vwith { ribbons, and lace,apd flowers ad ijiflnitom. The small bonnets of last summeV, that made quite as much display, and . were ten'fold more graceful, required lew tfcmi4 half a yard of material. The consequence is that the fashion dictated to tfie ladies ie. not accepted as fashi^a generally are, and tbst a good many damea and detbeieeUee are in open rebellion, and refuse to acoept the dispensation.of the Xwpreea Eugenie for the winter of the year of. oar Lord, j 1866.
