jeff Davis, in his recent finances places the pub
lie debt Of the confedcracy, on the LIST Of October
at s, III, aos 1t will doubtless be puzzle to
people generally how, with m army nearly as large
MS our Own, and with graFbacks worth five cents on
the dollar, the rebel debt should be so small. The
whole matter Is easily explained. Rebel finances
have sunk into such hopeless state Of demoraltz-
ton that they hare no regular system
OF disbursements. Their commissarfot Is
supplied by produce scizcd by the army;
in payment for which certificates arc given, pAya-
bic at the close Of the war. These certificates
continue in circulation eort Of currency, help
ing the ipf1aton but not being ut present payable,
are not recognized In tho Treasury Register and
asc therefore, not included In the statement Of the
public debt. This being the case, the ordinary
operations Of the Treasury arc, to a large extent,
dispensed with. and the real indebtedness Of the
Cpnfede1acy is unknown. As the principal expen+
diturcs Of the rebels met in this WY, 1t is quite
certain that the above figures represent not more
than ouethird Of the public debt Of the Confeder~
acy 70 state the debt at 8,500 600 fs quite as
as low as the facts will warrant. Davis simply
practices his usual dishonesty and hypocrisy In
onitt3ng all mention Of the above facts This per
tured statement Will probably furnish text for
London commentators In presenting comparison
OF the Federal and Tcbel finances, as Illustrating
! The soun5ness Of the Confederate loan.

\ ICED to state TINT the runors that the Treasury
Department was about to iuterfeze in the gold
market, and by selling gold ont Of its funds' DE-
press the market to to per cent premium, arc IN
true. The Department will do nothing Of me
kind. The ffeeBt possible market for gold, and
the disposition, which now seems manifest among
nil classes, to stand by tho Government, Will 40
more to prevent the advance gold, than any ON
