FROM sUbLIVAN's ISLAND.
r SEPTEMBER %, 1864.

Mr.. Eaitor:::-Th firing noticed in my
last at Battery Marshal, was some Of the
enemy transports that had been to Long
Island, removing some runaway negroes
from that Island in,returning few shots
were fred at Battery Marshal the report
of the enemy landing in force at that point
was a; a;mistake. During the past week the
shelling Of the cityshasincreased, the firing
on Sumter has also been increased, but with
the usual effect. The enemy, for Sometime
past, have been at work on Battery Gregg,
our sharp shooters, for several days past,
have stopped their operations by their we'll
aimed missiles. So annoying has been this
fire that Yankee seldom lifts his head a
boye the parapsts. This is good work for
small arms, a diatance,of fourteen hundred
yards. But few shells have been thrown
here during the past week. A large NUM-
Der of Yankee prisoners have lately been
brought to the city snd,are stationed at the
race course, there are about FIVE thousand
in number. A part of them were removed
last week to Mount Pleasant. On Tuesday
about three hundred we're removed from
that point to this Island. They have been
brought here ii; work>on the fortifcations,
it being their own choice, they preferring
to work rather than stay at the race course,
as q good many are dying at that place:
Among the number thatWere5brought here
there werea q good many who appeared to be
quite young, probably seventeen and eigh.
teen years of age, this locks like Yankeedom
has been pretty well drained to raise troops.
The Yellow Fevefis said to be raging in
the city at this time, il IS confined to the
East e1dof Calhoun Street, and originated
by passengers from Nassau. Passes from
this place to the city are stopped for the
present, to prevent the spread Of the fever.

here this week. Yours as ever, -.

Secretary of Treasury,

The Pos1T1oN.-A few days since we
remarked that Sherman was running eight
or ten trains day Of provisions into Allan
ia. The Macon Latelligencer says he is
feceiving over two hundred car loads !of
provisions daily. This is one Of the beauti'
full fruits of the siarmistice." But what
has been done in this matter cannot 5e NO.
done. All we can now do is to vigorously
prepare for the future. If the Confederate
authorities at Richmond pass few more
weeks Of ease and negligence, and refuse to
take proper measures and steps for the de-
fence of Georgia, Sherman viii succeed in
housing himself in Atlanta, and will not
only be in strongly fortified position, but
will have provisions enough on hand to
make it impossible to starVe him out.

ry, which was written to correct a'misap.

+nishing new issue to exchange for the old
TREASURY DEPARTMENT, C.:S. A.,
Richmond, Sept. 8, 1864.
z. Sanator%, Esq.,, Dopositary, MOntgons-
cry, AlC. 1919.
SIR: Your letter! of the Both .ult, has
been received, land Lam very glad, of the
opportunity itafords nae to correct a mis-.
apprehension into which you have fallen,
in common with all who hayeEaddressed
similar complaints to this Department 1t
is; that of suppqsipg that the old issues are
exhausted from motives of policy. This. is
not the case. The mechanical appliances
at our command are limited and inadequate
to supply notes fast enough, for the pay Of
arrearagess that accrued during the time
that elapsed between the demonetisiug 81
tie old notes, and the preparation ofithe
new; for the discharge of current expenses,
and for the exchange Of the old currency.
Had the Treasury been abundantlY sup
Piled with notes, the plan of sending prompt.
! iy an adequate amount to the depositaries
to, effect the exchanges would bave been
the first put in force, but this was not the
case. AS the next thing, and the only
method Of ascertaining where remittances
were most wanted, and in what sums, the
regulation was adopted, Of which you COM
plain, viz: to- receive and receipt for the
notes, and send them here to be exchanged.
As q further convenience and protection
to the holders of the old notes, the regula-
tion was adopted authorizing the taking OF
them on loan, and in payment for bonds OF
the FIVE hundred million loan. !,
You will see that all these measures are
in the interest Of the holders of the old is.
sues, and intended to overcome, as far as
possible, difficulties that were unavoidable
under the provisions Of the law. .
I hope this explanation will enable you to
allay in the public mind, and produce
sense of security in holding, or using the
notes. Every effort is being made to ex.
change them ais rapidly as possible. Very
respectfully, g. A. TRENHOLM,
Secretary of Treasury.
