ALEXANDRIA:
WEDNESDAY,, JUNE 10.
Mn. ssovDEN

Mn. sSoNDEN,
A crisis has arrived in the pecunIa-
,aa;rs of this town. which will eagen-
g. evils Of incalculable magnitude, if a
Jsc;s;ye remedy be not soon applied.
The perplexity of The community is
a,os,ld: NOT only The scarcity OF money
rreyaiIs. but of the kind that vii answer
sbe purposes of a circulating medium.
Tsere IS one kind, current at the Banks,
rsIle5 chartered, or Bank money, and
snother kind, that passes with difficulty
either for goods. or at a discount of 6 to
II, ner cent. This is, called unchartered
Of ont o'doors money, and is almost the
only kind now seen afoat. The char
tsred paper is reserved to pay Bank
debts, to which place II travels, and tlike
,Ae smaller beasts visiting the Lion is ne
YER seen returning: He who depends ON
his ssles to pay his notes, leans on abroken
reed taat win pierce his side. 1t may be
asserted without fear of contradictioa,
that no ether town on the continent Is
precisely situated like ours. As near as
Baltimore on the one hand, and Frede
ricksburg on the ether, there is but one
grade Of money in circulation In Wash
iaston and Georgetown this probationary
paper is but little encouraged; and shall
Alexandria be the sink for I'll sorts of
stuff thar nobody else will have /? De-
pend upanit, as long as you suffer this
10 be crammed down yosl threats with a
moderate degree of pushing, you viii
scarcely see one dollar Oh better descrip-
tsa: but the moment a firm aud general
stand is made against the enc. the ether
will come into circulation. These OBJ
servations are made from no hostility to-
