[CARD] Harman Arrants HAS THOUGHT FIT DISINGENUOUSLY AND ntiseheviously to publish the fact, that I refused to receive Conlodorate Treasury Notes in payment of j specie funds lent him in January 18C0, to be paid in rmo week, and whieh lie has unfairly withheld, when 1 needed it, and now attempts to excito odium against me for refusing to receive, in reality, til'teen or twenty cents on tiic dollar of my debt, lor the Confederate currency, which, according to published reports, is selling live or six for one in specie. I do not require specie of Mr. Arrants, or. in fAct, anything ut this time ; but I cannot consent to be rubbed of four-filllis of my debt for his benefit only, for ho d d in fact receive the Treasury Notes, not as equivalent to money? j coin, or even bank notes?for he sold his property and j products at enormous prices in (he depreciated cur-j rency ho now attempts unjustly to force upon inc. ' The government itself does not treat tho Treasury ! Notes as equivalent to real money in its transactions? j in payment of coin debts due it?why should 1 do so, I merely for for Mr. Arrants advantage? Let him loan j it to the government for its Bonds at par, or use it in I any other way he pleases, and when the currency' im- ' proves lot him pay me what he borrowed. Juuo ID 2 I?.

Not content with wresting peaceful citizeus from their homes and confining them in loathesome dungeons; and with seizing our contented slaves and inhumanly placing them in military organization to he shot down in tho front of battle; they have inaugurated a system of raids into the interior of the States, stealing negroes, burning cities and farms, destroying live stock and growing crops, and spreading desolation everywhere in their track. To meet this condition of things and to render practicable greater concentration of our forces ahcady in the field, and to afford adequate internal protection to the States, the President oi the Confederacy deems it expedient, 1o call for a portion of their reserve force for service within their respective limits. Upon Lite < iuvcnior ot' Sout.li Carolina ho calls for live thosainl men lor the porio<l of six months from the lirst day of August next, to he furnished by draft, unless in the intermediate time ;i volunteer force organized under the act here- i u i111' published "To provide for loeal defence and special service,".at least an equal number he mustered and reported to the War Depart- < mcnt as subject to the call of tin* President for i service within the State.
