bearer OF Southern dispatches board the Persia and
who is at Fort Lafayette left in the hands of the
police detectives considerable quantity of baggage
which Las been examined and some interesting matter
has been brought to light.
A letter written by James s. NJ Garter, at Charles

N. p London, says that the writer attended the

the Government about to issue, say the amount
OF $500 O00,OOO and to pay out those notes to their
customers. This will give them universal currency
throughout the Confederate States and as ports
blockaded and we must in consequence do without
foreign importations this Government credit
among ourselves so long the lasts and when the
is these notes will have to be funded into a
permanent debt.

such plan might seem very ruinous but we have made
up our minds that the Government must be supported

these Treasury notes depreciate become worthless
