An utter derangement of the currency exists, and there is now no It-gal circulating medium. The country never Jjcfo.ro exhibited 6uch a scene of distress," from which none, whether rich or poor, are exempt. There is now no medium of exchange between different places, whether near or remote. Private bills of exchange are discredited, and the banks rannot furnish drafts on each other. Those tlrawn by one bank on another have been protested, and even those drawn by the government on its selected de positories, are in some instances dis graced. Remittances cannot be made; the traveller can obtain no currency which will pay his expenses from one State to another. Even postage and petty expenses cannot be paid in the silver which is required, unless by purchasing it at a high premium. Ma ny manufactories are elosedj while 4he raw materials they used are reduced in price to a lower rate than was ever before knowni before they can be re sumed, the laborers who were employ ed on them, are deprived of the means ot subsistence. Already corporations and - intliT-trla- aU, in those .States where the jirohibi- tory laws are not very severe, issue bills for sums of five cents to dollar,' to be circu'ated as change, and some of them probably never to he re deemed.
