l; corn meal $6.30 per bushel; oats and hay, per hundred pounds, unbaled, at $6 and $7; baled east of the Blue Ridge and delivered within the time above specified. These variations hold only for the months of July and August; in September, the Commissioners propose to adopt simply the former schedules for May and June, with the exception of the assessment upon railroad iron, which they wish to continue at $190 per ton, according to the old valuation. They also re-adopt the revision of the February and March schedule in reference to the impressment of horses, as published in the July schedule. The Commissioners say in their report: "We trust that the people in those counties who have recently, in public meetings, expressed their views in favor of Low prices, will now, since all impediments have been removed, as patriotically lead out in tendering and selling both to the Government and to the people, all they can spare, at schedule rates." We hope so, too, and wish the fullest measure

Revision of the Schedules of February and March last. Since the adoption of our last Schedule, for the months of February and March, the financial bills passed by Congress taxing the currency have seriously impaired the value of the old issues of Confederate Treasury notes. At this juncture, large numbers of horses and mules were impressed and paid for in a currency which was, in a few days thereafter, to be taxed thirty- three and one-third per cent. The Board of State CommissioFebruary and March, the financial bills passed by Congress taxing the currency have seriously impaired the value of the old issues of Confederate Treasury notes. At this juncture, large numbers of horses and mules were impressed and paid for in a currency which was, in a few days thereafter, to be taxed thirty- three and one-third per cent. The Board of State Commissioners having adjourned, and one of its members being out of the State, it could not be convened in time to review our schedule of prices. Under this state of facts, we have re-examined and re-arranged our tariff of prices so far as we have been advised of recent impressments, proposing, in this mode, to remedy any diminution of valuation which may have resulted from the action of Congress upon the currency. Therefore we assess the average value of artillery or wagon horses or mules impressed si

, to capture the town of Petersburg. The army of General Sherman, although succeeding at the end of the summer in obtaining possession of Atlanta, has been unable to secure any ultimate advantage from this success. The same general who, in February last, marched a large army from Vicksburg to Meridian with no other result than being forced to march back again, was able, by the aid of greatly increased numbers, and after much delay, to force a passage from Chattanooga to Atlanta, only to bere as the subject of impressment, the service or labor of the slave has been frequently claimed for short periods in the construction of defensive works. The slave however, bears another relation to the State, that of a person. The law of last February contemplates only the relation of the slave to the master, and limits the impressment to a certain term of service. But for the purposes enumerated in the act, instruction in the manner of encamping, marching and parking trains is needful, so t

suspicion is sufficient to kill it dead. The recommendations of Mr. Trenholm are brief, business-like, and to the purpose. We must, he says, "anticipate the productions of future years of peace, and convert them into money for immediate use." This is his basis — his foundation — strong and practical. Then, as a beginning of all things, we must stop the printing-press--that is to say, we must issue no more Treasury notes after we have issued all that were called for by the act of last February. The Government must pledge its faith to this effect. Next, the notes are to be exempt from taxation — the stupid measure of taxing them having already worked a vast deal of mischief. Twenty per cent. of the tax in kind is then to be applied to the redemption of the notes and the reduction of the outstanding amounts thereof, and this twenty per cent. is to be applied annually until all shall have been redeemed. As to the means of improving the currency, it will appear from this short ou<

The War news. Yesterday passed without an event of moment on the military lines before Richmond and Petersburg. The deep mud makes military operations, for the present, impossible; and the indications are, that the wet weather is not, by any means, over. We have had the dryest summer and fall known for many years, and we have a right to expect a wet winter; such a winter, indeed, as that of 1862-'63, when it rained and snowed almost incessantly from November to February. Deserters and Yankee prisoners report that great activity prevailed in Grant's camps previously to the rain storm, and that considerable bodies of reinforcements had arrived. Yankee newspapers say they were about that time preparing not to make an attack, but to resist one from us, and give it as their opinion that Lee is determined to make an early effort to raise the siege of Petersburg. The Yankee correspondents describe General Pickett's capture, on last Thursday night, of Butler's Bermuda picket

rn and wheat in dispute. The Mayor admonished the accused to be cautious in future how she permitted strange negroes to leave things in her care, and thereupon discharged her. Owen Milldowner, white, was charged with stealing three hundred dollars' worth of iron, belonging to the Confederate Government. The iron was found upon Milldowner's premises and fully identified by Government employees. He was bailed to answer indictment for the offence before the Hustings Court Grand Jury in February next. Richard Murray, white, charged with drunkenness, disorderly conduct in the street, and resisting the civil officers in the discharge of their duties, was remanded for indictment by the Grand Jury of the Hustings Court. Myer Schwartz, white, charged with using abusive and insulting language towards Mrs. Sarah Phillips, in the First Market, and being generally disorderly in the same place, was fined twenty-five dollars and required to give security in the sum of three hundred

North Carolina Senator. Colonel Thomas S. Ashe, formerly a member of the House of Representatives from the district now represented by Hon. J. M. Leach, has been elected Senator for the next term, to serve instead of Senator Dortch, whose term expires next February. Mr. Ashe was elected in opposition to Hon. E. G. Reid, formerly Confederate Senator from that State. He is understood to be in favor of the vigorous prosecution of the war till independence is gained; while his competitor is said to have been a strong adherent of the extreme peace policy.

es that all the States, in the month of January next, before the expiration of the Presidential term, shall present candidates for the Presidency and Vice-Presidency, the free States for the one office and the slave States for the other, as they may be respectively entitled to one and the other office; and shall certify, severally, to the two Houses of Congress and to the Supreme Court the names of the persons so chosen, and for which office they have been chosen; and on the first Monday in February following, the Supreme Court, in the presence of the two Houses of Congress, shall select from the persons whose names have been certified for the Presidency a President, and then a Vice-President from the names which have been certified for that office; the Justices of the Supreme Court to be ineligible to any other office.
