The amount of Confederate tax collected
by 4, C. Green, Collector for the State of
Virginia, up to the present time, Is
So, $50, 112 so. We are informed that the
estimate now Is that. for 1868, the Con-
federate tax in Virginia, will amount to

amount. It is already ascertaiued that
the sum to be collected will greatly ex-
coed the amount contemplated by the
/ trainers of the Law. 10 900
