TO THE sHERIFFs AND TAx-CoLLEc-
The following is a copy Of so much of an act
passed at the last session of the General Assembly
as relates to the currency in which taxes may be
collected:
Sec. BE it enacted by the General Assembly Of
the State of North Carolina, and it is hereby en-
acted by the authority of the same, That all taxes
due to the State or counties and for school pur-
poses, taxes for the poor, all payments for en-
tries Of public lands, and all fines and forfeitures
for the use Of the State or counties, may be paid
in Treasury notes of the Confederate States under
five dollars, or in the issue authorized by the
act of the Confederate Congress, ratified the 18th
of February, 1S64-and all such dues may be paid
during the present year in the old issues of Con-
federate Treasury notes Of the denomination of
five dollars up to fifty dollars both inclusive less
thirty-three and onc-third per cent, the tax i'm
posed by the act of Congress.
Sec 8. Be it further enacted, That the act rati-
fed July Sd, 1868, entitled Gan act in relation to
the payment Of taxes and for other purposes, and
so muck of section second of the Ordinance No 35
of the State Convention, ratified goth February,
1862 as directs the receiving of Confederate Trea
sury notes In payment of taxes aud all other dues,
are hereby repealed.
Owing to considerations explained in my late
report to the General Assembly, Treasury notes
of less denomination than a dollar not ex-
changed for Confederate notes, but these change
notes Will be exchanged Tor NOrtn Car0Ina lrea-
sury notes of larger denomination, for coupons
from our State bonds. On presentation by you
any other person at this department of any amount
OF our notes above dollar, or Our due coupons,
our change notes for the same amount will be ex-
changed for them.' TEis exchange may be effect
ed through the agency of the Southern Express
Company. JONATHAN WCRIH,
June 2, 1864. Public Treasurer.
AN INcIDENT-W While the fighting was going
on around Richmond week before last the follow
incident occurred as related by the Richmcnd
Enquirer:
'sDurins tie engagement, four companies OF a
Wisconsin regiment sent against battery to
carry it by assault, and, it being desperate case,
their services only accepted, so the survivors
say, because they volunteered to perform the job.
When they had arrived within about two hundred
yards Of the Battery, it opened upon them; al
though their ranks thinned. considerably by
the first round they kept on, and when about fifty
Yards from our breastvorks front of the battery,
our infantry opened a CALLING fire upon them,
which, mingling with that Of the battery, annihi
lated the whole battalion. Not onc-Was seen to
escape, and the ground was covered With their
dead and wounded. Two car loads of the latter
arrived in the city, several of whom with whom
eur reporters conversely stated that they did no.
