THE CURRENGY. QUESTION AT

As our readers have already been apprised, an
Interference with the circulating medium at
Memphis was attempted by the Federal com
maulcr last week; by his issuing an order pro
hibitirg the use Of Confederate Treasury notes,
in ordinary transactions between citizens. As
was pr. dicted the unusual restriction caused a
large amount of distress, to alleviate which, as
lar as practicable, an eff3rt was made by The
municipal authorities, who addressed the follow
ing communication to Col SLACK:

their use. Without the opportunity to earn
wages by their labor, and deprived the privi-
lage of using the money they now hold, there
must be great distress and suffering, and, Per,
