SECRETARY BOUTWELL, issued the following
circular on Monday, Aug. ID:
TREASURY .DEPARTMENT, - GENTLEMEN I
| have deemed it advisable, upon further consid-
| GRAFTON, to withdraw the loan for the present
from the market, with the exception of the five
per cent. bonds, as offered to national banks by
the circular letter of the Secretary of the Trea-
sury, dated the 10th inst. This communica-
| ton relates to four per cent. bonds in combina-
| ton with five per cent. bonds.
Boutwell,, Secretary:
To Agents Designated by the Secretary of the
/ Treasury to Negotiate the New Loan.
| Both for commercial and political rea-
sons, Secretary Boutwell, desires to correct
the impression which may have been Gre
ated by several dispatches sent from Wash
ington recently, to the effect that under the
| funding bill he is not authorized to redeem
| 5-20s from other funds than those arising
from the sale of the new per cents. He is
| of opinion that the law explicitly gives him
the right to use any moneys in the treasury
not otherwise appropriated, for that purpose.
| .... The Comptroller Of the Currency has de-
cided that national banks designated as de-
| positories for the new loan are not obliged
to hold a reserve upon the funds paid into
the bank in subscription to that loan and de-
posted to the credit of the United States
Government. This ruling is approved by
| Boutwell,, but does not apply to any other
Government deposits. The Bureau Of En-
craving and Printing, of the Treasury De-
partment, is now engaged in printing sup

| late Commissioner Pleasonton will be ready
for use......In reply to the letter of Gov
| Potts, asking that more troops be sent to

| that regio , and because the Indians seldom
repeat their raids over the same ground.
