This impossibility was clearly and distinctly stated, in an address of the Congress to the people of the Confederate States as late as the winter of 1864-5. That body then declared, with an intelligence that no just student of history will fail to appreciate: The passage of hostile armies through our country, though productive of cruel suffering to our people, and great pecuniary loss, gives the enemuable than the three. The effect of the measure was, to produce a reduction in the mass of currency to the extent of rather less than three hundred millions of dollars; and to leave, during the latter part of the year 1864, and the beginning of 1865, the amount of treasury notes in circulation in the Confederacy, at three hundred and twenty-five millions of dollars, an amount which was found to be perfectly manageable; and which, indeed, under the depreciation of the new issue, which took pla
