as to the transierabty of four per cent certificates
FoUa PER CENT CErrIsArEs.-As some uncertainty and
even msapprehension exists to the ranseraby of the
four per Certc being issued under the
cent urrency Ac the following statement, which
and by its desire, viii be acceptable to the public.
The four OF deposit will be received

sued or fang assigees. The certificates assigna-
the form usual with certificates OF stock. We would
advise holders the of making
an assignment before mag strae, using the form be
found the back Of all Confederate registered bonds but
leaving blank for the of the assignee. The name
Of any holder can be inserted to suit occasions.
We further informed that when certificate Of de-
pos presented by shall exceed the amount OF

zens tax be hundred dollars and he give in GER
tfcate deposit thousand dollars he will receive
a new certificate for three hundred dollars. Thus

three Tor tW0 the question to whether it s wiser to
buy these certificates to pay taxes in currency is
very difficult to 1t may be to the interest
OF each individual to fund much of the old currency
in four per cent certificates will pay his taxes but
it appears very questionable economy to procure a
surplus 10 the expectancy ct these certificates COM
handing their par value 10 currency. The unset
tied and uncertain condition of the currency prevents
the most experienced fnanciers from forming opn-
ion to the best policy for individuals to follow in this
matter. Some hold the opinion that four per cent
certificates will command high premium Others that
they will not be worth than fifty cents in the
dollar in the new curIency.-Rishmod Enquirer.
BISHOP LYSCH-A correspondent of the Columbus
Enquirer writes from the White Sulphur Springs
Montgomery, Va, now a Confederate Hospital as
follows
Biehop Lynch, the eminent Catholic divine from
Charleston, s. g., has been ut this place for over
week, and have been fortunate enough to have enjoy
ed the pleasure OF listening to his eloquent dscources
on the two proceeding Sabbaths. He is very fine
specimen OF manhood, not overdope with years, with
fine eye and pleas int counterance, finely balanced
head features of his face what termed handsome
and his eocution is easy as his language is classic
graceful and elegant. In private conversation he ie
very interesting and seems perfectly devoid of all o.
tentation to highly educated men, In
him as in other great lights of religion, we could
perceive none of that austerity Of manner ger
man to the underlings who generally cruelty
Christ more than they preach Christ crucifed In all
my observations OF truly great ministers have read OF
them and found them meek and mild in disposition
lambs, and it is good rule by which to true
pety or merit. Having been favored with an intro
duction to the Bishop and entertaining high opinion
of his piey and wisdom, cannot torbear giving you
the above sketch.
Surgeon Moroton, by order Of General Longstreet
has bern taking the rounds examining post employees
and sending all the able bodied gents to front seat 10
the war picture learn such visitor s needed about
all posts, and if So oh, crackery, what rusng there
will be among some Swapping employees.
Ia my former letter to you neglected to mention the
fact that this hospital under the superintendent
of the Sisters Of Charity in the medical depart
ment-and must admit that their kindness and atten-
tion is worthy of all the praises worthy merited by
their works. Modest, unpretendiDg and with single
Of purpose in doing good these good sisters devote
their whole existence in ameliorating the suffering OF
the soldiers, and act administering agents to their
wants.
