N. C. Money in sou,h-Caroliua.

The following Communication, from responsible
source, will excite the Eveiest Indignation in the
breast of every North. Csrolinian. 1t seems that
the people of Charleston and Savannah, and of
SOuthCarOlina generally, utterly refuse to receive
our currency, and that too from war-worn vep<
Grams who have been sent to hazard their lives in
their defence If this specimen of the courtesy,
not to say justice Of those people towards our State
and our soldiers, in the midst of war; when all
hearts and al purses ought to be blended as one,
what may we not expect when the war is over?
Nearly every section of this State receives and cir
cuates, not only the Bank notes and Treasury notes
of Georgia and South Carolina but even their
poraton shinplasters but the people of those States
it seems, will not touch our Treasury notes. We
beg leave TO say that North Carolina credit is better
than outh-Carolina credit that the bonds of the
former have always been as they are now, higher
than those Of the latter; that our negroes are quite
as valuable, and are held by as secure tenure as
those of South. Carolina; that we have more white
men, and consequently more labor and intelligence
than that State; that we have more and better min
erals than that State; and better timber;
more and better manufacturing establishments Of
all kinds; that our currency is as good as that Of
any State tho continent; and that we have more
troops in the field in proportion TO population, than
the State whose people thus contemptuously refuse
to receive our currency They want our ~,
but do not want our currency! Our soldiers have
either to submit to be shaved our Treasury notes
or 90 without such articles necessary to their
supper! and comfort.
The communication referred to is as followS:-

ELifpr MdnJIIi:-A certain number OF North Carolina
troops in this State, and around Sayannah tire exact
number of which had well nat be mentioned but'e it
suffice that is very considerable The citizens Of Charles
and Savannah very much rsjoced when they
rved-u fact, ii diSS paed the panic which then reigned
in those Cities. But let remark 10 the North Caro-
linianS who eager 10 South Carolina money,
that the citizens of Charleston and Savannah and along
the C. ) Railroad utterly refuse to receive rthng
of North CSrulina money of any description and plrcu-
larry the State Treasury notes For this they give
reason except that il is North Carolina money. If this is
hc confidence which exist between the States Of the
Cunederacy, predict that it. will be short-lived Six
hundred Of brigade, the wounded heroes Of Rich

with North Carolina money. Let us teach the presump-
iuOus States by which hauked that cannot be
nsulted with npunty and show them if they lack conf
dence in us that they expect from neither conf
deuce nor courtesy. OBSERVER.
