Sequestration.
--By reference to our advertising columns, the public will find an important notice from
Mr. Thomas T. Giles, who has been appointed a Receiver under the act of sequestration.
We are authorized to state that in a few days, or as soon as
Judge Halyburton can properly apportion the Eastern District of
Virginia, several other Receivers will be appointed for the purpose of dividing the labors and of giving the greatest possible efficiency to the law. The appointment of other Receivers will prove of great convenience to the people of
Lynchburg,
Norfolk,
Petersburg, and
Fredericksburg, and other localities.
The rules and regulations of the
Attorney General of the
Confederate States for the guidance of Receivers, and of others interested in the sequestration act, will appear in a few days, and the work of sequestration will then commence.
