TIE POSTAGE CURRENCY AND REVENUE
STAMPS.
The Treasury DEPARTMENT will probably direct
the engravers OF postage currency TO deliver it two
DAYS in the week 70 Assistant Treasurer Cisco in
New-York, instead Of sending it all here. The
opinion which has caused many persons to send
remttauces 10 the Treasury Department for postage
currency. that the discount allowed for internal
revenue stamps applies 10 thiscurency, is erroneous.
The Commissioner Of Internal Revenue has nothing
TO DO with the postage currency, and the Treasury
Department proper has nothing do with the Inter-
nal revenue stamps. The latter only are furnished
nj a discount. IL may be noted also that persons
sending for Internal Revenue stamps, if they wish to
have their orders filed, must state the kind US well
as the denomination Of the stamps they desire Con-
tract stamps, check stamps, draft stamps Nc, &c''
differ from each other.
