Agency Office, 40 Duo ad Street, ) Charleston, August, 12, 18G2. ) Mr Editor?From the number of' letters, 1 am still receiving from various parts of the State, requesting information about the uple?lgcd Cotton," and as to the manner of remitting all amounts for Cotton already sold, I re ccntly published on both of these points in your paper could not have been seen by all parties interested. Will you therefore, allow me to state again that Mr. Thomas II. Johnston, an experienced Cotton liroker of this city with liis assistants, will call on all parties in due time and negotiate with them as to the purchase of the "Loan Cotton;" but 1 will thank all planters wlio have already sold, or intend selling to others, than the Government, to remit inc the net proceeds of sale, either in a draft on one of our City Banks, or in Treasury Notes, without further delay. As soon as I can ascertain whether they prefer Confederate Bonds or Certificates of Stock, (both bearing eight per cent interest, but the former payable to bearer and tbe latter to order,) I will have them prepared and remitted to the planters. But it is important that 1 should tirst receive the remittances, for my orders arc to give eight per cent, interest from the date of the receipt of all moneys, and it will be impossible to make a calculation until 1 receive the amount. As the Bonds and Certificates of Stock are only issued in lOOO's SOO's 100's and 50's, should the amounts of sales be uneven, I will further thank the planters to add on the fraction. so as to make it conform with the issues of the above securities. Pressing engagements, in connection with the unties of mv olbVc. compel inc to adopt this mode ol communion-, ting with my friends in the country. I. SMv.
