We are credibly informed that two of our citizens haring bit at the following tempting bate, have each been sold to the amount of a fifteen dollar package. The packages have been received, and are pho tographs on good paper of the genuine bills but only about half the sue of Treasury notes. They are of the denomination of one, two, five and ten dollars. But, of course the size will prevent the possibility of deceiving any one who is at all familiar with money. .These woold-be criminals who bought this counterfeit money, deserve the punishment they have received and mnch more. Doubtless Noyes & Co., have sent out thousands of these confidential letters, all over the country. They are lithograph copies of written circulars, and look very much like writing. The folio ing is a copy of their letter: New York, 1869. My De.. n Sin—We have in our posses sion a very large stock of exact copies of the genuiue United States Treasury notes, executed by thv most skilled men in the art, outside of the States Prison, which we desire to iuime liatcly dispose rf on the fol lowing very liberal terms, viz : Packages representing $200, in various denominations, price $15. Packages representing $500, in various denominations, price $30. Packages representing $1,000, in vari ous denominations, price $50. Packages representing $2000, in various denoiui rations, $80. Aud so on forevery package thereafter. If you order a $50 package, we will sell to no one else in your vicinity ortown, thereby giving you the exclusive right to oiroulate or appoint agents to do so in a town. For a county right you must order an $80 pack age. In order to induce you to assist ut in circulating these notes, we propose to send you any package on receipt of one- third the price we charge above, you pay ing us the balance, two-thirds, as soon after you have received the package as possible. We trust only partly to your honesty to do this, at the same time thinking that us you will consider it to your interest to deal with us further, you will comply with onr re quest. If you are afraid to send money to us by mail, we will send you the package by Ex press, C. O. D., collect on delivery, one- third of the price we charge for a package, you sendiug us the balance—two thirds— as soou after same is received a- possible. However, it is preferable to have th.e money scut by mail, for reasons of safety; also, it saves Express charges, and it is sure to come safe to us if you have the let ter regis tered, or send postoffice order. You may send money by registered letter to any amount at our risk, as we prefer it to all other ways. Your order receives more at- teutiou and you get your goods quicker.— Should you desire to avail yourself of this opportunity, you must do so at once, aud address, iu confidence, Noyes & Co., 65, Well St,, N. Y, P. S. We place reliance iu you as far as offering this opportunity, aud confide in your ability to keep the whole thing a pro found secret These notes, by the knowing ones arc pronounced perfect copies of the genuine., and we claim the right to make our owu terms iu disposing of them. If we scut samples it would make our business much too public, as disinterested parties would scud for such, therefore injustice to ourselves, we positively refu'-e to send sam pies, or sell in any less quantities than above stated, to any one, or on any other tern s.

The mining County Officers and that before any Election non he held there must be farther Legisla tion. He stated that the Constitution pro vides that the Officers except Oordinaries Elected in April 1868 shall hold their Offi ces until two years from the following No vember unless otherwise provided by new Slemphis Branch Railroad. The survey of the road will be commenc ed to-day.' The following are the survey- brs : C. M. Pennington, Chief En ' Mr. Rarer, of Pennsylvania, tantand H. Cartier, 2d Assistant, and some ten men. The survey will coximmce at the Rome Road, cross the Oostunau la just above the junction, and then run down on the north side of the Coosa. planters. We are assured by Mr. R P. Glenn, the agent, that one of them will soon be put up id Rome, where it may be seen in practical operation. The small space te- quired for it, its portability, and the case with which it is operated, are great advan tages both in packing cotton and hay.—See adv. 'Special Dispatch to the Constittonalist. .

The great obstacle in- cideut to the development of the mineral resorces of this portion of our State, is, in consequence of its inaccessibility—the near est point to the railroad being 65 miles— though in the space of two years, this dis tance will be shortened at least 40 miles, by the building of the Georgia Air Line Railroad.

Tennessee Election. The Herald says a most gratifying point From the Harrisburg Patriot The Fifteenth Amendment The Radical papers publish strangely in correct lists of the States which have rati fied or assumed to ratify the Fifteenth Amendment. IVhat object is to be gained by repeatedly asserting that Tennessee, Minnessota,and other States which have taken no action, have fully accepted the amendme it, passes conjecture. The action taken thus far is as follows: Alabama, said to be ratified. Atkaosas ratified March 15. Connecticut, ratified May 13. Delaware, rejected. Florida, ratified in June. Jenrgia, reject'd.

He 1 seizes npon a party issue to cany him into power, and when once he has ex tracted all the good ofit, it is henceforth a meatless shell to him. To-day he is an abolitionists and the atnpion of a moral idea, but to-morrow his instincts tell him that there remains other and yet ttnsucked oysters in the same bed, and he behaves like a wise drnmfish. That everlasting and all but exhanstable bed, the Treasury, has been from the first snrr mnded by a countless school of these depredadors, all provided by nature with, the necesaary cracking aud sacking appa ratus, and it is all in vaiu to plant fresh oys ters in their presence, as they prefer to work while the shells are still soft. To their honor, almost be it said, we can not class a legitimate drnmfish the crackers and suckers of the Wendell Phillips school, who persist in continuing to month and munch over and over and over and over again the empty shell of their one particular oyster; it was large, it was fat and it was well flavored, and they refnse to believe that it can have been exhausted even by their preternatnral power cf jaw. Bat perhaps their self-satisfied delusion is a sav ing to the national plantation—who knows? The drnmfish is not especially available for food, for oil, for his bones, and bnt indi rectly for an editorial illustration.

Each of these hills or houses has an openingat the top leading into subteranean channel that connects with oth er channels from neighboring houses, and it is natural to infer that, unless the prairie dogs have been unduly mormonized, they jointly occnpy their homes by pairs, male and female, and when they make their vis its, they pass, as do all honest people, in open daylight along'their streets, and go chirping their greeting from house to house in all the pride and circumstances of a glo rious prairie dogship. When they are attacked, they descend suddenly down the opening in the roof of their houses, and in an excited and noisy manner hasten through the subteranean passages, and thus alarm the whole city, which, tinder the discretion and manage ment ofits older and official inhabitants, at once congregate for an outride attack en masse. Then woe to the luckless and im pudent offender against the peace of the city; be be antelope, wolf or hnfiqlq, {he frightful noise and daring itiaok of the combined force will necessitate an immedi ate and precipitate flight, or an instant and ignominious death of the intruder. without treading on it, and tbe indications are, as pronounced by Pennsylvania miners who have seqn){, {hq’, \t is biw the croping oqt of a yefy dgep at)4 extensive vein. At the base qf the mountain is a pond, kept full by never failing spripgs, and furnish ing an abundant supply of water for fiiruace purposes. There is also plenty of space forall nec essary buildings, and wood in the greatest abundance. Here, then, you have the ore, wood, water, plenty of room fqr all building purposes, right at the mine, and transpor tation within almost arm’s length. Speci mens similar t> those I send yon were pro nounced by (he miners to whom T alluded, as containing at least seventy-five per cent of ore. Even the “lean” ore was rated at forty-five to fifty per oept. 'fhese qiiners ■made the owners of the mountain an offer for the property, with the intention of erect ing, at an early date, works to cost 9100 000; but the figures were considered too low and so the natter stands at present, think they will probably make another pass yet. An exphaqge speaks of {^e Southern planters as “lazy lordtings,” to which “Brick” i'omerpy, in his New York Demo crat responds as follows : Bold on a moment, who are those lazy lordlings ? Are they the bond holders of New England aDd Wall street, or the men in the Sonth who are laboring under terri ble disadvantages to repair the layqges of war? The so-called lazy lordlings are the pro ducers of the South. The rightfnl owners of the soil. The ones who for years have raised the cotton which gave us credit abroad. They are the ones who paid tuxes aided in developing the indjStiy of the country—who paid millions of dollars each year to the Northern manufactories for the benefit and beautifying Ncrthern homes- They are thc ones who cared % tbe black rncq better thag the white operatives o'f New Eqgtqnd are cared for. The ones who fought like heroes and patriots, as did Washington and his compeers for wbat they bel cved to be right. They are the ones who have been rob bed by the thieves of the North, tyranized over by Northern tyrants clad iq the garb qfsildfers—lihqied 'by paidvillifiers in the service of q rotten’administration—denouno ed as inhuman fiends and deprived by wok-' less power of the ability to support the ones thrown upon them to care for. Your lazy lordlings are the bondholders who pay no taxes—who* give presents to Grant—who dissipate in fancy hotels and concubine ranches—who are supported by the workingmen qf the eqcqtry everywhere Yon elame 'ns for §pca(tiDg^ of Lincoln, as if one we think did wrong oonld take shelter behind a gravestone—yet you persecute with power and insult with, words a de- defenseless brother, when he is minding his own business aq4 setting aq example others should foUoty.

God help tlic South, dear snuoy land, By tyrants crushed and riven, Betrayed, insulted, conquered, taxed— By negroes ruled and driven ; Bright native land of noble hearts, The Union’s truest glory, The day will come when troth shall write Yonr fair, unwarped story. God help, the South 1 Thine arms alone Can loose the chains that bind her— Degrading bonds that have too long Most ruthlessly entwined her; Lift np the heads now bowed in grief, Give joy instead ofsorrow, And for these weary honrs of gloom A calm and glorious morrow. Their fathers’ God, and new I heir own, On whom their hearts still rested Whetf darkest -days of grief and woe Their happy homes invested; Then was Thine sufficient arm The power that oft sustained them, And from more bitter draughts of grief Thy pitying hand restrained them. Still do they turn to The, O God ! Give rest from all their, sadness, And pour upon theirstrife-sick hearts Thy precious oil of gladness ! Give them Thy firm, enduring peace—a. A peace that will not leave them, Then bitter words shall cease to sing. And broken faith to grieve them. Men eall this peace—this wretched thing— O, falsehood basely spokeD, Because their banners trail in dost, Because their swords are hrokeu. Because—ah 1 bitterest of all— Their warriors’ heads are lying On battle fields, too dearly won, Whqn victory crowned the dying. Ah! who shall know the mighty hopes Relentless death has shattered— A nation’s hopes all swept away, Like leaves in Autumn scattered 1 They hope no more. They turn to Thee, For only Thou eaust aid them, To rise renewed and vigorous still, From th' ruin we have made them. Died—In this oity on last Saturday evening, Wm.
