250 - L. Jan. 8: ed:2/1 - From the general tore of a letter written by the
Rebel minister of war, James A. Seddon, to Quartermaster-General A. C.
Myers, the farmers in western North Carolina have given evidence of their
unwillingness to be taxed any further for the Southern cause, and are un-
willing to have their crops taken by the Confeder te government. Seddon
instructs the Quartermaster-General to issue orders to these fellows to
deliver one-tenth of their crops at once. "The ultimate result of this
growirg disaffection in the South will be the overthrow of the terrible
despotism of Jefferson Davis." (8)
