completed TO the satisfaction of General
Mcclellan, the troops have returned to THEN

As everything connected with the War Tax
is at this time interesting to a lar number of
our readers, we publish in this paper the Act
OF our State Legislature providing for the pay.
ment 10y the State of the Confederate Tax, and
for the after collection of the same from the
Tax Payers by her own officers. 1t will be
seen that the Books for the collection of this
Tax will be opened in June next, and again in
November following; and that all Tax payers
who pay at the first opening Of the books will
be entitled to deduction Of five per centum
from the amount Of their Tax.
We also publish the recent instructions of
the Secretary of the Treasury, based upon an
Act Of Congress further supplementary to an
Act to authorize the issue of Treasury notes
and to provide War Tax for their redemp.
tion." These instructions, though received
after the work Of the Sub Collectors and As.
SCISSORS had begun, may prove interesting and
advantageous to Tax Payers in general.

lion and demolish with a single stroke the last
traces OF the gallant Confederate armv.
That VIC are now on the eve OF great struggle
desperate-one In which is suspended the very
existence Of our new Government-seems To
be the foregone conclusion of our people,
Whether our armies can meet and drive back
the opposing legions which are to be hurled
against them, there is but one expression of
entire confidence, both in their superior discip,
line and bravery. uttered by our people.
Though we sometimes meet with reycrs.s,
ii is no more than we may look for. We can,
not expect to be victorious over larger conten.
ding foes upon every field Of battle. And
though we have met with a sad disaster In the
defeat and death Of Gen. Zolcofier. and we
feel It the more sensible, as our confidence had
so much increased from the multitude Of sue.
cessiul efforts which have crowned our arms
yet, II reports be correct, the defeat of Gan.
Iollicoffer and his gallant little army, is more
than counterbslanced by the Supreme Ruler In
scattering the mighty host Of Burnside with
