The Governor of Tennessee has recommended
to the Legislature of that State to collect the Con-
federate States war taS and by thus availing itself
of the provisions of the act of the Confederate
Congress, save to the State ten per cent. of the
whole amount-say 5000 600. Our Governor is so
enerossed with the preparations which the threat
ened attack of the State render necessary that it
is to be feared this saving of 5000 600 may escape
his attention If, at his suggestion, the Legisla'
ture should determine to collect the tax through
the State officials, it will not only save to the tax
payers the large sum of 5000, 900, but it will proba
bly place the money to the credit OF the Confed
