The New issue.

--The new Treasury notes will be ready for general circulation about the 15th inst, except the $5's, which will not be ready until the 1st of July next. Any person taking $60 of the old currency to the Treasury will receive $40 in the new.

The $500 notes are ornamented on the right side with a medallion likeness of Gen. T. J. Jackson, with the name of the illustrious hero under the likeness. On the left side is the Confederate seal and motto "Deo Vendice," with emblematic surroundings. The denomination of the note is conspicuously printed in figures.

The $100 notes present, as before, a vignette likeness of Mrs. Pickens, of South Carolina, and a medallion likeness of Ex-Secretary Randolph on the right.

The only difference between the old and flew $50's, except the color, is that the vignette likeness of President Davis is now presented in medallion style.

The $10 notes have a vignette representing a section of flying artillery in a battle. --Senator Hunter's likeness again occupies the lower left hand corner.
