The Manassas Gap Notes
   We learn from the President of the Manassas Gap Railroad Company that our notice of the notes issued by that Company would give an erroneous impression of their character. They are not notes of circulation "but customary due bills, issued to contractors in payment for work done, bearing interest, and payable six months from date. The contractors wanted them in small sums, to suit the hands, of whom there were a great number, claiming small amounts, and were printed to save trouble. The company would on no account issue a "circulation."
