The Currency Act.

The following analysis OF the Act ha
been very carefully prepared and Wi
give general information as to its provi
sIons, in plain simple form, readily un
derstood and easily applied. We sug
ges, to our readers to preserve it, AS wei
AS the law Itself, of winch ii is u sutnus
~. The Currency Act has divided n.
Treasury notes INTO three classes. |. Thos.
issued before lst December, 1862. III
Those issued between lst December, 1862
aud 4th April, 1868. III. Those issued
after Alb April, 1868. The first are fun
dabIe in 8 per cent. bonds or stock until
22d Apr: 1868; sfer that day in 7 per
cents. until lst August, 1863, after which
they cannot be funded ut al. The sec.
ond class are fundable in 7 per CENTS
The third class are fundsJle 10 SIX per
corts. at any time within one year from
the first day OF the month Of their issue
after one year hey are fundabIe in four
per cents. To distinguish the notes aud
fix the period of one year, the month in
which they are issueo is stamped across
the face Of the notes. Ii c.Ill be seen.
therefore, that no per cent. tunds will
be issued after the 22d April, aud no sew.
ers alter lst August. SO that all holders
who desire to secure these rates, must
present their notes FOR funding within III.
period above named. Six per cent. call
certificates are no longer 10 bs issued
but instead thereof, five per cent. call Ger.
uhcateS may be had for ANY Of the notes
OF The third class, which will cn,i,le th.
holder TO reeonvert the same nj anv time
within six months from the date Of III.
Oldest OF the notes which the. call cer,ifi
cate represents, and 10 receive interest
until recunver:ed. II not reconver,ed.
the call certificate may, at any time, be
funded in six per cent. bonds. TIE fear
per cent. bonds issued for the note of the
I'd and 81 class may be exchanged 1T
any time for call certificates, which will
entitle the holder to reconvert the same
into notes OF the same character, and t.
interest at four per cent. until reconvert.d
The six per cent. call certificates now il,
the hands Of holders may he redeemed {
in the notes which they represent, a, any
time before the lst July, 1863; after tina.
date they become six per cent. bonds
payable At any time, not exceeding thirty
years.

The Finale of the Fight for the Har-

IfoudIy TINS thirteenth day OF April,
the second anniversary Of the surrender
OF Fort Sumter, dawns upon the Ci,y Of
Charleston. The boosted ;soa aee., which
was in three hours to have reduced our
defences and pulverised the walls Of Fort
Sumter, battered and discomfi,ed by our
skilled art'Ileriss, after tarrying five days
within our bar, probably to repair dana

her steam pump has been kept steadily
IN motion, that her water line has been
raised 10y the remova! Of n portion. NJ

been careened, evidently undergoing re

troops, or o-Iy to bring more to Folly Is

the progress Of the grca, Yankee move
