Sunday, in which the enemy was defeated
aud driven back FIVE miles. No details
have been communicated
The condition Of the eurrency has be-
come SO alarming that its importance has
risen even above the excitement of military
movements. From every quarter Of the
Ceniederacy schemes, expedients, and rem
edies are daily scattered broadcast over the
country, and suggestions Of every charac-
ter and description are urged. One thing
Is certain and indisputable, that The pres-
ent financial management is IN utter and
absolute failure, rendered so not by Mr..
Memnlnger. but by the people themselves
The funding scheme Of Mr.. NJ could sue
coed only by the cooperation of the people,
by comming forward and continuing to con
vert the currency into bonds. Will il not
be necessary to inquire into the reasons
why the people have failed The fact that
they have not, and will not, voluntarily
tund the currency is an important matter
I Tor legislative consideration"
