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.
