How TO DO GooD.-s'The Washington CITY
Soldiers Relief Association have issued an
appeal to the citizens of Pennsylvania, which
is worthy the attention of all patriotic and be-
nevolent people in the State. Many of our
brave and gallant soldiers, who have been
wounded in battling for their country, have
suffered much, in times past, on account of
the scarcity of proper clothing and other ne
cessary articles in hospitals. This Asso-
citation proposes to supply these deficiencies
to the extent of their abilities, and ask the
hearty cooperation of their fellow citizens in
the good cause. Here, then, is an opportuni-
ty presented to do good, which should not be
overlooked. Fathers, mothers, brothers, and
sisters, who have a loved one in the great u
nion army, should not neglect this opportuni-
ty to lend helping hand. Some may say,
sswe are too poor" But, friends, have you
not frequently spent quarter of dollar un-
profitably or foolishlyi Most certainly you
have; and we have no doubt that many will
do SO again at the first opportunity. Instead
of going to ssone-horse circus,'' or sim liar
humbug, we advise you to spend your money
for something that may add to the relief or
comfort of your son, brother, husband, or
father, who has been wounded in defending
the blessings which you now enjoy. Remem-
Der this, and act the part of the good Samari-
tan. DO not pass by on the other side lest,
in the future, you may reproach yourselves
for having neglected your duty to those who
are near and dear to vou. Read the appeal of
the Association, and profit thereby.

CONFEDERATE STATES OF AMERICA,
TREASURY DEPARTMENT Richmond,
Dec. IL, 1861

D. D. EREBEE, ESQ,
Commissioner Of North Carolina, Raleigh ". G.
SIR: cur letter of the 9th has been euy received and
take the ear lest opportunity OF answering the several
quries which it makes.
lst The claims of the State of North Carolina cannot be
set off against the he object of tax is TO
sustain The financial operations of the Confederate Govern
ment by securing of the principal
tbs public debt. This object would be defeated if the
claims OF The States were allowed to absorb the tax.
Znd An essential feature OF the financial scheme of the
confederate states is to create demand for Treasury
notes. The circulation of these secured the
tent OF the tax by making them receivable in payment
OF that tax The acceptance CT bank other
currency woud defeat this object and they cannot
fore. be accepted as a substitute.
Sd AccOrdn g to the existing laws, payment of public
dues be lawfully made only i'll coin Treasury
1t was not necessary therefore, to declare specifically
what medium the tax shou be paid the general law
applied to this in common with other public dues, and
made it the duty Of Collectors to demand Treasury
notes and to exclude an exceptional construction where
state nigh assume payment it expressly
such payment should be made in the medium as is
required by the general law.
4h This inquiry already substantially wered in the
negative 1t is obvious that objections would ap-
ply TO the acceptance OF State currency in payment,
whether Issued by corporate or State authority
In conclusion permit me to say, that think the appre
henslons entertained IN State TO the difficulty of
procuring Treasury notes by the payers, well
founded They arise from the present condition of things
You Will observe, however that the not payable
til May Before that time large amount of Treasury notes
Will be Issued by the government, and there viii be diff
Guilty IN procuring them in exchange for her currency
good credit at or nearly par. The superior
ence which they afford in being available State
the Conederacy will make them valuable but small
premium has always proved able to control this
and to place the best funds the
desiring Them and sDch will be the here the
