loon, whose downward blow is calculated to strike
with a force exceeding forty pounds, a power
??quivalent to an ascensive force of one thousand
cubic feot of carburettod hydrogen. The action
required is somewhat similar to thal of rowing.

FIVE CENTS TAX ON COTTON.
In our iesue to-day will be found a deeply
I interesting report of the New York-?jh.amber
of Commerce on the bill imposing a tax of
five cents per pound on Cotton, wbich has re
cently passed the House of Representatives.
The announcement tbat this bill, bad passed
the House, and tbo probability that it will
pass the Senate, has fallen upon the communi
ty like the blast-of a hurricane. Men breathe
quickly, and, with set teeth,ask "Whatnext?"
The planter of Cotton, in hopelessness*, reads
the details of the monstrous imposition, and
feels that bia hands are tied ; be cannot raise
the article if he would. The poor freedmen,
receiving a part of the crop for their labor,
having no ability --mentally or pecuniarily
to meet the tax-gatherer, will fall helpless
into the hands of the greedy speculator ; and
the manufacturer,annoyed beyond all measure
hy the petty details of the law, will change
his business to something less troublesome
and less taxed. It is not our purpose just
now to discuss the beariogB of this extruor
ordinary measure, or its effect upon produc
tion in our oountry, but to allude to a result
which will grow out of this scheme if car
ried into practice according to the plan now
before Congress. It is well known to those
dealing in Cotton, that a great part of the
articlo is put into yarns in England and in
France, and sold by the spinners to supply
other portions of Europe ; and it has often
been a matter of inquiry wby our Cotton was
not spun here and exported in that state, in
stead of sending out at great cost of freight,
insurance, baling, ?to., a quantity of watte
equal to 15 per cent, of all Cotton exported.
This inquiry has never been satisfactorily an
swered. Capitalists have oooaeionally talked
of mills for yarn, but nothing bas been done,
and the feasibility of supplying Europe with
yarn, instead of Cotton, has never been test
ed; but Congress, if it passes the bill pro
posed, and allows a "drawback" of all duty
paid, when manufactured Cotton iseentabroad,
will settle the whole case, and will ohange,to
a great extent, the manufacturing industry of
this oountry and Europe. The immediate ef
fect of this tax, with the "drawback," will
be to stop the shipment of Cotton, and to con
vert our oountry into the great "spinning jin
ney" of the world. Was not this the real
design of tha planners of this sohome ? and
is it not contemplated thus to monopolise the
spinning of all the Cotton raised in the South?
How can a ManobeBter spinner compete with
an Amerioan spinner, both using similar ma
ohinery and making the same kind of yarn ?
We will suppose that Cotton fal 1B to 25 cento
per pound, tax paid. The British and Amer
ican spinner buy Cotton at this price-tbo
Englishman sends his to England and con
verts it into jam ; the Amerioan apina bin
also, takes his "drawback" of 5 cents per
pound, aud ships bis vam to England. The
"drawback" gives bim 25 per cent, profit,
less expenses, and enables him to sell at the
prico the raw Cotton cost the English spinner.
Hut the stupendous results of this eohetne,
if successful, oannot be calculated. Millions
of foreign capital will be placed in Colton
mills in this oountry-the value of the Cotton,
by preparation,'will' be nearly doubled-our
idle population will be employed-the basis
of exchange thuoh enlarged-general trade
with Eu.*opo inore-sod-tho supplies from hus
bandry wi?l be needed in larger measure-in
foot, there can be no estimate of the immense
roRultH wbich will follow if this tax and tho I
"drawback" on manufactured Cotton booome
facts.
.But there is another ?side to this picture.
Will England quietly bear this groat ohange
in cur morcnntilo and manufacturing rela
tions? Will she sit quiet while the life
blood flows in torrents from her vitals? It
romains to be soon, but it is not in the naturo
of man to look on with calmnoss when Kieps
aro in progress to ruin his interests or to do- i
Btroy his property.
lu our opinion, tbo passage of this tax bill,
as now beforo us, will bo a most damaging
blow against the commercial and manufaotur-*
ing greatness of England.
MORTALITY AMONG THE NEGROES.
Seemingly, in corroboration of the state
ment of the fearful mortality among freed
men since emancipation, which lately was
announced by Judge SHARKEY,-of Mississippi,
and caused a murmer of surprise to run
throughout the North, wo have the figures of
the Provost Marshal General of the armies
of the United States to show us how destruc
tive has been the war amongst enlisted
blacks.
The testimony thuBhorne Bhows how vastly
disproportionate have been the ravages of
disease among colored people compared with
white people, though the latter were in so
much greater degree subject to the rigors of
aotivo campaigning and marches. Tbo re
port tells us that while 2997 colored soldiers
were killed in battle or died of wounds re
ceived in action, the enormously largo num
ber of 2G,301 were Bwept away by disease ;
and in the analysis, the Provost Marshal
says, among tbe white troops the proportion
of deaths in action and from wounds to the
deaths from disease is about as one to two *
among tho oolored troops as one to eight.
About one hundred and eighty thousand col
ored men wore enlisted in the army during
the war, of whom accordingly nearly one out
of every seven died of disease. The general
proportion among whito troopB is ono to fif
teen. It may be assumed that where ono col
ored soldier died of diteaee, at least five oth
ers were seriously sick, BO that a very large
proportion of the colored troops must have
been constantly upon tho sick list. There need
be little surprise, then, at the statement of
Judge SHARKEY, in his evidence before the
Reconstruction Committee?that "there were
now in Mississippi very Ettie over one-half
as many frcedmen as itttro formerly were
slaves." He said there was no way of esti
mating the mortality that prevailed among
them ; they died in immense numbers. The
mortality among the oolored people of the
South, especially along the Mississippi river,
during the past five years, is well known. In
1850 there were 4'?0,000 negroeB in Missis
sippi, and by Judge SHARKEY'S statement
more than 200,000 of them must have died.
This statement is deplorable, and indicates
how desirable it is that the full relations of
peaoe and industry should be re-established
in the South as speedily as possible. The
moral and physical condition and future pros
perity of the blacks will be improved im
mensely if the politicians will but withdraw
their hands from intermeddiing with the af
fairs of both raoeB in this section. Humanity
demands that this be done.
-- .i?
SHALL WE INSULT THEM?
"The detestable specimens of debased hu
manity who are now attempting to plnnge the
country into another sea of blood (says the
Mobile Times), are enraged at the Southern
people, because, after having laid down their
arms in the most unequal contest recorded in
history, they now pause, and, looking around
them, reverently gather and religiously honor
tho remains of their deluded brothers who
have fallen in the struggle in which they all
participated. Like tbute tyrants who would
break open the graves of their enemies, and
mutilate their bleeding remains, those mon
et?re of ferocity would have us oast before
their greedy eyes tSoso sacred remains to
feast tbeir rage. But let them know that
while the people of the South will yield to
none in allegiance and faith to the Constitu
tion of tbe country, they will never forget
the memories of those who have shared their
error-if error it was to seek to carry out the
principle of the founders of this Govern
ment-and those memories will ever bo held
dear to their hearts, and they will transmit
to their children and their children's chil
dren the deep veneration they feel for the
martyrs of a faith-now no more."
...
A NATIONAL CONVENTION.
A late dispatch from Washington says that
"the President contemplates the calling of a
National Convention to settle all the issues
now pending." This strikes us as a gleam of
sunshine-a ray of hope-a splendid idea, in
these trying times, when all' the "heady c?r
rente" of pol ?ti cal differences of opinion seem
to be converging to the one, almost inevita
ble, but always unsatisfactory, solution of the
sword. Let us have a regularly called and
authorizod Convention of all the States, and
all these differences may be easily and defi
nitely settle?-' President JOHNSON has the
power to call such a Convention, and we trust
he will use it, as the dispatch seems to fore
shadow. We shall have moro to ray on this
subjeot hereafter.
