Our CURRENcY.-Robt. Tyler, Esq, the Regis
ter of the Treasury, has published letter state
ment in regard to the condition of the Confederate
currency, from the concluding portion of which we
copy as follows:
There is nothing, then, in the military situation,
or in the character of ourpablic debt, far the
sovency of the Government is concerned, to enable
us to account satisfactorily for the unfavorabe
ditiun of our currency. We must look for other
causes, and it seems, to me these are
/. The large volume of the currency, in quantity,
much beyond that needed for necessary purposes of
circulation.
p The contraband trade carried on so extensively
between the Confederate States and the United
States through the lines of the armies, both in the
East and West.
B. The blockade running between Charleston and
Wilmington and the port of Nassau.
4. The practice of dealing and Specializing in
Yankee currency within the Confederate States: of
dealing and specializing in State bank notes. for the
purpose of making exchange in New York and
elsewhere in the Federal States.
To remedy the difficulty, Mr. Tyler makes some
suggestions which worthy the immediate atten-
ton of Congress as soon that body meets. He
proposes
LIST. Congress should proceed to fund in the
terms of a law drafted for that object, all the
twenty, fifty and hundred dollar notes of all the
issues up to the lst of July at 8. and per cent.
interest respectively, interest bearing Treasury
notes bonds; thus at once, without injury to any
one, relieving the plethora now exsting"ih the cur
rency.
I'd. Any dealing in Yankee currency within the
Confederate States should be prohibited and pan-
ished by the severest penalties. '
Sd. Any expectation of cotton, except on Govern
meIt account, should be strictly prohibited ard
no importations on private account should he
allowed, except by special license under the hand of
the President of the Confederate States counter
signed by the Secretary of the Treasury
4th. All dealings in State bank notes. gold, or
State bonds, with the intent of establishing any ex
change at any point within the United States should
be prohibited, and the prohibition. should be en-
forced by the severest penalties.

LIBERTY AND TREASON OF. THE ,PREss.-A
contemporary draws the following rational distinc
ton:
'The elderly of the press" does not mean an
immunity to teaching ideas and sentiments calcu-
lated to destroy the government A man who hap
pens to own printing press should not be per-
mtted to print and publish sentiments that are
designed and intended to aid the enemy, and to
injure and destroy the army of the country.
This view, says the Savannah Republican, is
correct. When the constitution guarantees Glib
erty' to the press, it does not promise to sustain
it in RIGHTEOUSNESS, and abuse of that liberty
When it guarantees "freedom of speech to the
citizen, it does not promise to uphold him in the
declaration of sentiments calculated TO demoraze
the army in time of war; and to spread disafecsion
among the people. .Such man is as much a trail
tor in spirit as he who crosses our lines and joins
the enemy to fight against US. In the midst of a
struggle for liberty and at the very crisis of our
fate such conduct, the part of either the press
the citizen, cannot be tolerated with safety to
the country.

~ The author of communication in the Bulletin
OF last week has entirely Inexperienced the mean
ing and intention of our article headed Have the
matter examined" A little reflection might have
saved his ink and paper. We did not object to the
complaints of those who think there are too many
able bodied men at home but to the manner in which
such complaints are made. We said it was their
duty and priuitege to have the matter examined and
see II all who at home were fairly and properly
exempted and we suggested that this would be the
pt'' pan instead of making a general complaint
among the people where it could ACCOMPLISH No
so pu, o'es create dissatisfaction and disaffec-
~. p'oper quarter to lodge complaints is
