WHEN I left camps near Tupelo, Mies., is
July last, as a Courier to the State of
Arkansas. I was entrusted by Mr. Coady. ot
Washington, who is a eoldier in tbe Confederate'
ar m y, with SIOO u Confederate money, to be
given to his wife. M hilc i was in Washington
I gave Mrs. Coady the money and took her re
ceipt for tbe same. Since I came back to the
army, Mr. Coady informed <ue Giat he hod re
ceived a letter fro n -bis wife informing him
that I had paid her the §100; and in the last
few days I understand that it is the .current
gossip of Washington and vicinity that I used
the money and did not pay it over to Mrs.
Coady. Any person or -persons who would
batch up such a falsehood againet me while
absent in the army, would be yutZ<y of thmgt

; Indeed apart from the payment of this

He thinks it may not be necessary to
assume the Confederate tax for the two
years to cutue, and estimates for tuem as
follows:
The two years revenue at $125,000
each year, added to tbe Confederate mon
ey ou hand , makes-5358,054, leaving at the
end of two years, c cording to my view, a
d--licit nly of 5G6.84G To meet this wo
have tin- unexpended fund of tL»- military

Beside tiie interest u war bunds will
be rapidly diiniui-!»ed by riu-ir receipt
’ into the treasury lor revenue aud other
i piaymeut us State due*. And unless the
1 Confederate tax is paid fur 18*>3 and 1864,
no deficit will exist at tbe expiration of
ibe incoming two years, at the preseet
rate ut taxation, which is low.
