many OF these upon turning their effects into SPECIE
with precipitation and upon whatever terms The
process of conversion by the negroes free and slave
who have attempted flight been preparing for IT, has
been nconsidcrahe element in this local demand for
gold Added TO these Is the increased demand in the
South, consequent upon the occupation of Savannah
The large quantity oConfederate currency held by the c
zcns there, but not available them has been seek
ing conversion into gold through every possible
sity has been to raise the price Of specie in that quarter
The supplies here being drawn from the South the nd
vance there Is Of course felt at in Richmond
In addition to these things il may be mentioned that
the breakage in our communications, caused by the
frcshets has interrupted the Transmission Of funds TO the

in the meeting of the demands which have matured
against the Treasury The inconvenience Of this has
