For the- benefit of our citizous generally, wo give the followiug from the Richmond Dispatch: 'i CoLLBCTlNe 0*FfO*R8 OF TUK CoN~ V'KliriTV TiV Ao a moltfir -t !-l??' . ?AU (? * (IKVVI l/l llHUi UOV IV the people and 10 tbo revenue ofilcera of tlie different counties*,it may be well for us to state tbo determination of the Secre tary of the Treasury in regard to the agents who will be appointed fur makiug tbo assessments and collecting tbe taxes of tbe Confederate Government. It is known i tliaC under provision of tbe Confederate law levying a direct tax, any State which shall pay its quola of t|io same into ?he Confederate Treasury by the fir?t day in April ifcxt, wilHie entitled to a disoount ol ten per cent ..on ^he amount assessed against it. This discount is probably rath er more than the exponso which will attend the collection of the tax>frora the people, and th$&(bro any State paying in its quota uy uio uaie speciUod inaysavo a small per centago of the amount to ita peoplo. At this saving, howover, cannot be great enough to afford Audi temptation to the States to unddrtako the collection of the tp Confederate lax, the Government will Joubtlesshave to appoint assessors and col lectors of its o^n in many of the States for the purpose. Looking to this proba bility, we understand that the Secretary of the Treasury is maturing instructions to the Confederate Marshals on this subject. We understand- that an important feature of these instructions will be a requirement Upon the Marshals to appoint for the as sessment and collection of'the Confederate ta^c tho game ofiicors in all tho counties which perform similar duties fotf the State Governments. We understand that these instructions will be mandatory and that the Marshals will bo left no opliou in the rhaWer. "Wo throw out this piece of information in order to relievo tho Department here, and the-Marshals in aH the Districts of the Soutlv from the swarm of nnnlii-.nuta fX? appointments in tlie Excise with which thoy would other wise be overwhelmed. The measure resolved on by Mr. Memmin ger takes away from thia prolific source ol patronage evo/y featuru of partisanship ; and, considering the immense patronage thus voluntarily relinquished by tlio Con federate Government, reflect* groat credit ^pon the President and Secretary of the Treasury. "While the policy thu.i resolved upon lvoids the invocation of a countless swarm >f office-scekera throughout tlio land, it re naves in great mensuro tlic most' odious oaturcs of direct taxation, in relieving Ik; pqoplo from tlie annoyance of two sets >f tax gatherers dinning their demands in o each" ea* at t?io same time. In the ira ority of eases llio olHcors who will assess tnd collect the Confederate tax{ will be netJ of the people'* own selection ; andA whenever not of their own choosing, they fill be the appointees of their own conn .y courts. We look -upon this determiv latioji of. the President and Secretary o hrf IVefcstury as one of the most impojtant nd happy -that has attended- tho adftinis ratio^d^ our now Government, Inr regard to Virginia, we supposp that ha late *period rfl wllich our legislature neets will preclude any effort on the part f tlie State to collect this tax Itself: and liat instructions -fliH have gone out from he Confederate Government and the work if collection entered upon b?fore the Leg jlature will meet. ^ ?
