The following important circular to
Cotton Brokers was issued this morning:
Colibctor's Office, United States Internal
ItiVENUE, First District Pennsylvania. No. 419
Cbebnut Street. Philadelphia., Februarv 24.
The attention of cotton brokers Is cai'ed to tbe tact
that the rogn'ations ol tbe Treasury Dopartment re
quire that cotton, packed In bales, shall contain a
metal tn? or Inspection label, sbowlair that the In
. tornal Kevenue taxes on the ssme have boon paid,
attested by tho Collector of Intornal Revenue of the
l?8trict trom whence the cotton is shipped. In addl
.' tlon to this, all consignments of cotton should he ac
companied by a permit from tbe Co'leetorot Internal
Kevenue of tbe District from whence the cotton is
shipped, describing the marks and numbers on the
bales, tholr weight, and certifying that the Internal
' Bevenuo taxes on the same have been paid, and
granting permission for removal. Information has
been received at this effloe that considerable quan
tities of cotton have been sent to this market with
out complying with ttie regulations of tho Dopart
ment in this particular, no Inspection lablsboing on
the bales, and no pormits forwarded with the con
signment. The absonco of these proofs that the In
ternal Kevenue taxes have been paid renders toe
cotton liable to seizure by Collectors of Internal
Revenue, no matter in whose hands tound.
Jon H. taooart,
Collector First District I'ennsylvauia.
A Deserved Compliment. The tom
mittee who have charge of the procuring of a
proper representation of the battle of Gettys
burg to hang in our State Capitol, have so far
progressed in their work as to nave selected the
artist. Mr. Eothcrmel, of this city, has been
chosen, and we do not think it could have fallen
in better hands. Mr. Rothprmel stands at the
very head of the historical painters of the day,
and Lis exquisite pencil will do ample justice
to the grand subiect. Our earlier artists made
their reputation by depicting the battle scenes
of the Revolution, and those living atthe present
day have great opportunity to excel their prede
cessors, inasmuch as their field of operation is
so much more extensive. We expect that tbe
forthcoming picture will entirely eclipe any
of Mr. Rothermel's previous efforts, for the
theme ought to inspire the dullest artist, and
we are satisfied that Mr. Rothermel's genius is
able to cope with the magnitude of the subject.

A youth named Robert Cressman, fifteen years
of age, was arrested yesterday afternoon on sus
picion of larceny. lie had in his possession

stable in the neighborhood of Fifteenth and
Callowhlll streets. They were arrested, and

Visit to Jeff. Davis!
St artlino Disclosu res I
From our own Special.
Passing by Fortress Monroe yesterday, I took occa
sion to drop in for a call npon the ex-President of
the late lamented Conlederute bta;e.
Mr. Davis is looking quite o'd. Many ascribe this
to his treatment here; but I think it probably arisen
lrom the tact that he was born in 1808.
When I entered bis aparimont, he was sitting npon
a chair which stood upon ttie floor. He had one
band on his knee. This position, however, is not
eempultory, and he varies it at will.
I said. "How do you do, sir?"
He said, "Pretty well, Cius, how are youT" I do
not know why he called me that; Augustas is not
mv name.
I then said, "Sir. tere are msny conflicting rumors
concerning your treatment In this place. Have you
anything to complain oif"
He said. "Youn? man, I should think I had."
Sa'd I, "Of what?"
Said he, " Of being lockod up "
"How do they feed you?" tasked. "On victuals
motly," he answered
"Do the buns trouble you?" I asked. "Tea, when
they bite me," ca d he.
I observed there was no Persian carpot on the floor,
neither did I notice a rocking c air. Talcing my
Jovo of him, 1 said, "Can I do anything foriou?''
"Yes." said he. send me the 'Bonk of Cuttings' I
see advertised by Charles Stokes & Co , the Clothiers
under the Continental Motel, rnuaaolpuia. vvitn
this request my interview closod.
