A Ik, rs4ar. April I ISCis. Athens Poajt-Offlce. We re requmleJ by tha rot master to give notice that there Urge number of letters in hi office, which, if not called for rnusl, in accordance with instructions, forward ed to the Dead Letter Office, RichDiond. Confederate Bonds.

The "Act to provide for the funding and further ifuue of Treasury notes," appear in our advertising column by order of the Secretary of the Treasury. The attention of purtic having money, to invent is particularly iuvited to the provisions of the act. We published lust week a wire-fully prepared tynopeU of the law, copied from a Richmond paper, and huvp, upon several occasion, urged the advantage to be derived by the purchase of Bond. We can now only reiterate the opinion that the investment must prove Highly profitable, besides improvingthe currency and helping to relieve the country "in the unequal struggle in which it is engaged. 'The lav will appear in our columns until the first of we shall take occasion to call attention to its provisions from time to limo.

Gov. Harris. A letter from Gov. Harris, in relation to the coming leoUoua in IhiaSUte, will be found on tho ouUiUe of our paper. The Governor asserts that the elections will occur at the proper time, and thinks there will be no great difficulty in the way lie suggests that but one candidate be run for each elective office, and thereby we can secure good and sound men.

We cordially endorse the suggestion, and do hope there is patriotism enough and a spirit of self-sactifice sufficient to adopt and carry it into effect. Why should there be a scramble for office now, when there is a struggle on hand in which the very existence of our institutions is involved? The army is open to all, and there is a broad field where men anxious to serve tho "dear people" may enter and win distinction, honor, fame and a glorious sepulchre. An individual who at this time has no higher ambition than to fritter away his vigor and manhood at the political hustings, must bo a "poor shoat" indeed, and will be so regarded when the crowning victory is won and the country emerges from the conflict, dripping at every pore, to take its stand among the great powers of the world. Financial Affairs at the South. A Charleston correspondent says money is tighter there than at any time since the war, and that the withdrawal of so very large amount of bills fundable in 8 per cent, bonds has reduced the circulation, and caused a contraction in the bank accommodations.

He Says: This was evident at the last sale here of bank stook and other securities. We learn also that cotton has felt it seriously there being a marked decline in Augusta, and in some other interior towns in Georgia, amounting to 4(ii)5 cents per pound, or $25 per bale. prlsfii ilt'tliis, Tor cotton lias attained a rediculou and hazardous height. What prudent banker will loan money to speculate in cdtton at 30 cents per jiound, or what sane man who can obtain 7 percent. Confederate bonds would in preference invest his money in cotton at such prices quoted as above? We find among honest men an earnest desire that the Confederate Tax bill should, become a law imme- diately, and go into effect on the 1st of May.

Nothing that Congress can do will go further to Benefit the country, restoro confidence, and give a tone and strength to our paper circulation and place the currency on a sound basis. Confederate States Bank in London A preliminary prospectus (witiiout any name being attached) of the Loudon and Confederate States Bank, is published in the London journals. The capita! is fixed at X2.000.000. The prospectus points out tl'ie certainty of the ultimate recognition of the Southern States, and the desirability of having banking facilities ready for tLe redemption of that trade which will be carried on through new and independent channels. Tho Manchester Examiner and Times says: The object of this bank is distinctly stated to be to render the South able to carry on their financial and export operations entirely independent of New York.

Cattle Dying for Want of Salt. The Fincastlo Express says that in Craig county, the cattle are dying by scores from not having had salt during the past year. One farmer had lost fifty head, another forty, another thirty, and all cattle own org had sustained some loss. Sheep and hogs are also dying rapidly from the same cause.
