Counterfeit Ccnfi derate Treasury
Notes,
The notes mostly counterfeited are
the 20 s, 50’s and 100’s, oi tiie issue
of Sept. 2, 1S61—lithographed by
IIoyer & Ludwig, Richmond. In all
the genuine issues of These notes there
is a shield in the upper left corner, the
the right upper corner of which is
placed in the centre between the let
ter N in months directly over it. In
the counterfeit the corner of the shield
is placed directly under the l ight down
stroke of the letter N.
HUNDREDS.
The Sailor in the lower left corner
of the genuine note wears a black belt,
with a buckle very distinct,—in the
counterfeit the belt is very light, and
the buckle scarcely to be seen. The
face of the sailor in the genuine is fine
and regular—in the counterieit the
mouth seems pinched up, and the eyes
Imve a bleared or scratched look.
The sailor in the left hand end leans
upon an anchor, diagonally across tlie
vignette from left to right, in 1 he gen
uine, there is a hair line* very distinct,
as if the stone from which the impres
sion was taken had been broken or
cracked. In the counterieit there is
no such blurr or hair line. In the
centre vignette, right side, near the
cotton press, is a mule—in the genuine
it is very indistinctly executed, and ilie
mule looks as if he were walking from
vou, presenting only a tail view—in
thecounteifeit it is much plainer, and
1 he mule presents almost a broadside
view.
At the upper right corner of the
genuine notes, the white ground ap
peals through the shading of the n.e-
lallion work; in the counterfeit the
entire woik is daik.
FIFTIES.
Several white spots appear just over
the figures fifty, in the medallion work
at the upper light corner of the g« n-
uine notes; there are none in the conn- ;
terfeit. The outside of this m< dulliou j
work in the counterfeit is covered by I
a running net work; in the genuine
there is none. Iti front of, and at
tached to the chest, in the centie pic-|
tore of the genuine note, there is a '■
padlock; there is none in the count**r- '
feit. in the genuine note the head of [
rhe man in the lower left corner j
is nearly bald, a little hair is
combed do^n on the right temple; in
the counteifeit a full head of hair is
represented, the hair on the light
temple being slightly dishevelled, as if
blown by a puff of wind.
In the genuine the bead of the fe
male between the words Confederate
States, is near the centre. In the eoun-
erfeit the head is placed so as to
touch the letter E in Confederate.
TWENTIES.
In the counterfeit bills the figure 2,
on the right side, in cut by a fine line,
entirely separating the tail of the fig
ure from the main body of it; in the
genuine the figure 2 is perfect

: mortal peril, come in what form it
might, could daunt. He exulted in
j looking destruction face to face in all
1 its ways. He loved wild and danger,
ous adventures for the \ r ery danger’s
sake. His eagel spirit lived among the
mountain crags and shouted back to
the shouts of the Storm. Although kind,
unselfish and humane, he was impetu
ous, passsonate and of unconquerable
prejudices. He was not unfrequently
j unjust in his judgments,and he permit
ted nothing to stand between him and
the execution of his purposes,
i This young man, if he had always
directed his energies judiciously, could
have made himself a distinguished
; ornament in any profession of life. He
: might have been an able and honored
statesman in the service of the republic !
I but an intense Southern sy mpathy, in
!*_!/ i spite of the arguments and theentreat-
| ies of those who dearly loved him, made
an active rebel against his country. And ary
! after a brief five w eeks’ service in the ! " ho
ring this indefinite, war. what but papef,
paper. The paper money system ol Mr.
Chase, founded upon little or nothing, was
working well upon the presumption that
under a Constitutional and radical policy,
not only the Union was to he restored,
hut the Commerce anti Free Trade of the
whole Union—while here is presented to
ns war for the. destruction of the labour
system South, and a trade, if trade is re
stored, only with negroes such as are in a
Ilayii—not such as ue have in Cuba, or
had with the old slave labor s\ stein of
the South. Hence, as the war is now to
lie prolonged indefinite’)—and for pur-
to the government are fulfilled. They
expect to have some, fighting to do. and
that fighting they ought to do.
We recall the words of Cov. Andrew’^
letter to the Secretary of War, promising
that when the principles of the proclama
tion were adopted “ r l he roads will swarm
with multitudes, it need he, whom New
England wifi pour out to obey your call.”
We should expect to see them now in
hosts, anil the abolition enlistments taking
henceforth the lead of all othcis.
It will he in vain to contend against the
dividing effect which the proclamation
will produce at the North. The Fiesi-
dent does not expect his new policy to he

tive to all trade and commeice—what is , country, who believe it to he uncoustitu-
to be our cmrency founded upon >nch ha- tional and wrong He therefore looks »o
ses and for such ptirpot.es? What hot in
flation—with aggravated prices to all con
sumers?
i here is, tlierefoie, now, upon the dis
cussion of these new questions, a very
general di-position to uprise and over
throw the starters, projectors and tnain-
the radical wing of the Republicans for
the sole support of the administration.—
bile all the loyal men of tire nation will

and tieasuie, the Government of the Uui-

Obi'i uary.—William Courtland
Prentice died on Monday last, at Au
gusta, Kentucky, of wounds received
in the conflict at that place on the pre
ceding Saturday. He perished in the
cause ot the rebellion.
It is not in the columns of a newspa
per—it is only in the family circle or in
the hush of solitude—that the emo
tions of a parent over such an event
of
weeping eyes and last trickling drops
of bleeding hearts are not tor the pub
lic gaze. The deepest agonies should he
content to ibid their sombre wings in
the soul. Consolation could not come
from the world’s sympathy, It can be
looked for only f rom God and his angel
time. Nay, there are griefs that time
itself has no power to allay or sooth—
griefs that, like running streams, are
deepening their channels forever.
Wm. Courtland Prentice was no
common young man. He wasremaik-
rr'HEnml. rsigimd hsvir.g removed from w >!" i able in his powers and in his tempera-

feit it is of a fair quality ol bank note I

that proclamation there is but one senti-

and shows in tbe following article, what
would Be tiie ellcct of such a policy as
.Air. Lincoln proposes to carry out on tbe
duration of tiie war and the trade ami
commerce of the North. After discussing
the uucoustitutionality of the measure the
Express say s :
’i lie President’s Emancipation Procla
mation. provokes the question among bus
iness men—when this war is to end, and
how is it to end—if that end is to he in
the desti net ion of the labour system of
the South—cotton, rice, tobacco, sugar.
&c.,—what our ships freight, wbat oui
commission merchants make their profits
on, and what supports vast masses of
manufacturing labor in tbe North. The
Piesident’s Proclamation is two-fold:
1st. Tbe destruction of all the slave
system of labor South.
2d i he depottation of that labour to
some foreign country.
< ’oinmeicial men, naturally enough see
in these propositions destruction to ships
aud shipping. Northern cotton and to
bacco manufactories, the p*otirsi>f the in
terchange of Northern Manufacturers for
Southern -negro labour. Uonimissions,
freights, labour, Foreign Exchange, &c„
&c., Hence there is great inquiry among
Commercial men.—
1st. Wbat interest has commerce in
prosecuting a war upon such destructive
and revolutionary principles? and.
2d. It the Southern Siaie« are to be black
—Negro States—is a “L’nion” with such
negto States wnitb fighting for on such
couimetcial principles? AAbat.is most
profitable to us, a llayti or a Louisiana?
Resides, Business uieir, Ranking men,
Couimetcial men, now see. that a war,
prosecuted i.pon such principles, must be
prolonged itiuefinitely, and at greater ex

known as the radical party, and all othe's
must necessarily co-operate agaiist it.
I fie war is indefinitely prolonged bv rad
ical demonstrations, aud it may he by this
new policy extended into years of daik-
nest- and blood. All who believe the
proclamation to he disastrous in its neces
sary efleets, will unite in the elections
w hich are approaching, to pioclaim, by a
louder voice than the voice of a President
—i-namely, by the great voice of the peo
ple at the ballot box—that this is not their
wisdom, not their policy, not their method
of treating the Constitution.
The New York World thinks the proc
lamation was squeezed out of Mr. Lincoln
dollars, see the reduction of piofits is to be
permanent if radicalism becomes perma
nent. Rankers, who have property, see
the indefinite inctease of paper—nere pa
per—no real prop or certainty for their
property Ship owners, in case of a fail
ure of the grain crops, see no prospect of
cotton, sugar, rice or tobacco freights —
Laborours, manufacttiters, see that tbe
great raw material of their industry is
now to be uprooted—while taxation is to
on -Tidefiinitely, and oppressively too. All
ate disposed, and mean to support the
Government, but very few real, live'busi
ness men now mean to support the ad minis
trution of * / nan nt, k upon the new
career it has started on.
The story upon commerce and manu
factures, was told, very* briefly, by our
market editor, yesterday in bis pithy re
port. Cotton tip two cents per pound,
closed at filty-fiie cents for Middling up
lands. which show that cotton purchasers
manufacturers, &c.. in the Notth now
look for a lone war—w ith but little hope
of fiesh supplies of cotton for a long time
time to come.
Cotton shirtings and sheetings have
been doubled and trebled in prices to the
consumer- -and cotton at fit'ry five cents
per pound must make the consumer pay
higher and higher.
The Piesident now lias but one thing
more to do—to execute the programme
that puritan abolitionism of New England
demands ot him, and that is the aiming of
the slaves, the quicker lie does which, tiie
quicker the agony of the struggle of opin
ions in his councils will be over. It.is
now past-tbe day when such aiming can
do barm Southward, and as Noitbward it
may more efficiently unite the radical abo
litionists in his siippoit (his lecent piocla-
mation cutting oil all conservative men)
the quicker he unites that abolition senti
ment, develop s arouses and inspires it.
the better, perhaps, now for him as weli
for all concerned w ith It.m. If it but
brings the abolitionists all into tbe army
it may “pay.”
Our 11wii opinion from the. start, has
been that as in the case of the Maine Law
'lie Puiitaii mind of New England >vi 11
woi k itself out over, or'under, or around,
and in despite of any const.tution or law
of nature; the quicker, theiefore, the bet.
’er for the peace of the countiy. The
Maine Law, so potent in theory, once "en
acted,” abolished itself—and hence, we
reason now, that the quickerall the ab >li- |
riou theories are now all woiked out by j
the now surrendering President, the bet-
only by the greatest pressure. »r>d says
that yielding to pressure is Mr. Lincoln’s
* weakness, it disapproves tbe proc
lamation, and makes the following appeal
for its condemnation through the ballot-
box.
President Lincoln, in his address to the
border S*ates Congressmen, warned them
that the pressure upon him to issue an
emancipation proclamation was so great
that he feared he might yet be compelled
'■■yield. Ilisdistiust of his own resist- j humanity and usages .of civilized wat
Judge Dean remarked.—The *ir we
breath, the atmosphere we live in, the
ground we tread, all are trpmhling, under
the change the last twenty-four honra
have broughtforth. On Jlonday night ten
millions of loyal men retired to rest be
lieving, that though bad as bi# crew n<ight
be, tbe pilot at the helm, until tbe 4th of
March, 1865, was conservative, but they
awoke the next morning to see all their
hopes vanished, that obnoxious proclama
tion had been signed, and no one could
tell the results. He had sustained the war
by men, money and supplies, but he pro
tested against this policy, which makes the
emancipation of the negro the paramount
object of the war, to that of restoring the
Union. This was the object of the war,
as he understood it,for which lie was leady
to die if necessary, hut if it was the tree
ing of millions of black savages, who are
now already smacking their lips alter the
blood of the w >*»en .itid chiidten of tlie
South, then he would no! further c>'iinre-
nance the war By wo-d or deed* 'i hey
might send him to Foil Lafayette tor
this, but be was ready logo, as lie was
not alone, there weie many uioie "I tbe
same opinion. He loveu ’Be Government,
but, alas, the administration bad changed.
Citizens weie taken from their houses
and families to a jail, where llieie is no
hearing ami no escape, save by tbe dic
tates of a mere eleik to the Chief Magis-
tiate. And why was this? bitnply for
the purpose of freeing the blacks. If
this was to remain, then this Government
w as not worth the life of a single white
soldier.
Rut no. there was a sufficient power of
lesurtection iu tLe people to free them
selves. The lepubhcuns say that, in con
sequence of a decision of the Supreme
Couit. the democrats have nothing to sav
dining the benign government of A hi haul
Lincoln, hut Greeley can semi forth tiie
vilest slanders against the l’resident, and
he sits down aud leplies. The Times
may ask Mr. Lincoln toabdicate and nom
inate George Law as bis successor—not a
wo,d is said. The Eceniig Post may
charge everything on tlie administration
without notice, but when a democrat say s
anything of that kind, then Foil Lafay
ette wots opened for bim ; to be dischaiged
on taking tbe oath of allegiance into camp
parole, there to temaiii at the pleasure of
the President’s Clerk, lie then as«l% zed
an editorial iu the Erening Post, in which
the war was called muider and Butchery.
If »my one should use these expressions in
this meeting, Marshal Murray m Kennedy
would wait on hini. In Rryant’s paper it
may he poetry, but here it wi.ufd be fact.
The Post H>ked, ‘Why giant the enemy
time to bury his dead ?’ Of couise the
poetical editor does not it cognize laws of
ing power has since been fully justified.
Indeed tins yielding to pressure is Mr.
Lincoln's fatal weakness. He yielded to
to piessttre in urging tieneral Sc -tt to
fight the first battle ot Rull If in,; be yield
ed to pressure in giving Colonel Miles
another command when lie should have
Been sliof; lie yielded to pressure in dis
concerting General McClellan’s plans last
spring, try oidering a premature advance
the West; he yielded to pressure in ,n
meddling with the Peninsular campaign
as to cause it to miscarry.
No man ever y et administered success
fully tbe affairs of a great nation without a
backbone incapable of “yielding to press
ure.”
1 his extraordinary proclamation will
Bring no advantages to the negro race at
II proportionate to tlie obstruction it
throws in the way of reunion. It is cer
tain that the Union will never be restored
till this ill advised action ot the govern
ment is reversed. It. converts every in-
habita t of the South into a zealot whose
all is embarked iu the success of tbe rebel
lion. Y he idea that they will succumb to
threats, that they will vote on compulsion,
fare.
I lie Republican party was in.able to
govern the country—they bad shown that
sufficiently. Now was the t£<ns; to itraw a
distinction between G>*v eri.uit ot and Ad-
mintstiation. and the latter could not skel

of the hunier. Law was the e* million of
existence. Y lie black and w bite laces
could not he turned over by an act of leg
erdemain or legislatine, as one iace waa
superior to the other. On Friday morning
last, before the news of Mct'b-llan’s vic
tory reached Washington, the heads of
Departments shook in their boots ; they
talked of mistakes, but baldly is the fright
over, when this Proclamation, the. issue of
which was tlien^iot thought of, is piomul-
gated and dated the twenty -second• If
the rebels should have rtinained in Mary
land this proclamation would, peihaps,
never have been issued. T he object of
tiie present campaign was to declare (be
policy of the war, viz: the same as Cou-
gieso, after the first battle of Rull Run, iu
1861, not the emancipation of the negioe,
nor the sttl jugatioii of the South, but the
restoration of tbe Union. If the Deino-
anything but increased indignation, at
such a proclamation, shows small knowl
edge either of human nature or of the
temper of the Southern mi.id. Such a
proclamation cannot be possibly en
forced, and its only effect will be to
strengthen the determination of tiie rebels
to fight to the very last. T hey are shut
up in a latte which has no turning. When

that opinion will triumph or fall, and thus may Earn from our enemies. They will

carry out.
The New Y r otk Journal of Commerce,
which may he regarded as the best expo
nent of the conservative sentiment shows
' hat there is bitter opposition of the j
Xortli against the Proclamation, which
will make itself beard through tint ballot
box iu tiie comniing elections. In the
course of its article it says:
Y’be radicals have pressed for a procla-
tion and the ptoclantation they Lave to !
the full extent of their wishes. Y’heir

It is powe:less in our hands for good; in

salvation now is in the ballot-box.

have assuied us that it would bring the re

ed the meeting He competed Lincoln's
proclamation to the, black flag lioisteil over
St. Demny, and did not want a Union,
w here the Press is in fetters and the men
in prisons, without cause or process ot law.
Y he penp.e must demand a change of men
and measures. He compared the past
history of the country with her present
state, brought about by the New England
fanatics, the ( heevers, Beechers. SSnm-
ners, Wilsons, Phillips. Greeley s, w ho re
paired to a distant city of the West, and
there nominated a man of unseemly ap
pearance, uncleanly looks, for the Uiesi-
dency of this conntr>. Y’his party then
j had as their motto, ‘Free speech, Free
! Press, Free Homes, Free Men.’ V\ here
| are the devices of the motto? If a man
j says anything which displeases Mr. Stan-
i ton, he goes to Fort Lafayette ; the Press
j is muzzled woise than iu either Vienna,
St. Petersburg or France, and as to the
Free Unines, no palace, cellar, hovel or
home is secure from the myrmidons of a
Kennedy. No citizen is shielded. tRe
writs of Habeas Corpus and the Rill of
Rights are revoked by a btanton.aud that
Broome street epitome of Fouche. Tbe
issue is, w betln-r the Union shall be re-
oigatiized by a Democratic im-asuie. or
die under the arbitrary rule of Stanton or
Kennedy. If New Y’otk State declaies tor
a change of men and measutes it will be
so. Y h*y call democrats secessioni-ts,
tbe thousands of democrats now under
arms, laying beuearii bunt hern soil, speak
against that. Y'he detune 1 at ic paitv is a
war patty, hut if the head of the adminis
tration oversteps tire Constitution, lie is as
■nucha rebel as the rebel under arms be
yond tbe Potomac. Nobody desites a per
manent war, and as soon as tbe detaociaiic
patty will again be at tbe bead ot affairs,
the South will again come back under the
obi flag. But to obtani this result, the re
publican paity niiist be ctusbeti.or they
will crush their opponents, ami e'en if
that party be annihilated tbeie will never
be peace until the New England element
is put down. 1 his element agitated tho
country, first by the aiitiiiiasonry trou
bles. next by temperance, then by Knnwr
Nothitigi m. and latterly the sla\ery, and
wh:» knows what other designs they may
have upon the social and mania! rights of
the people. Y’his party as well as their
oflnhot, the republican party, are not for
dications are multiplying of a coming po
litical revolution in tbe Noith. Y'be e
mancipation proclamation of Lincoln lias
passed into a moat exciting issue, and a
spirit of revolt is openly manifested in tire
North against car*y ing on this w ar on tiie
servile insurrection and bloody plan pro
posed by Mr. Lincoln. We have ample
evidences of this spirit arid the public voice
at the Ninth begins to assert its rights, de
spun tbe despotism of its rulers. We
give below some 1 f the sentiments of tbe
speeches made last week in New York on
the occasion of the inauguration of the
Democratic headquarters.
Hon. Stephen F. Russel remarked that
when he awoke on Y’uesday morning and
found the proclamation of the President in
his morning paper, the city looked to him
as if covered with a pail. T his prodama
lion sets forth that Mr. Lincoln will remain
honent until the 1st of Jauuary, 1863, and
no longer. Disgiacetul as this proclama
tion appears to every true patriot, still
they mutt not run too fast; there were but
ten miles to Fort Lafay ette undet the heel
of tyranny. He was not afraid of it, as
the proclamation only reflects disgraceful
ly upon its author. He asked the work
ingmen whether they were prepared for
the effects of this proclamation ; whether
they were ready to sKnulder the heavy I *^ e r f t,tor **'dn of the Union, but for auni-
tax imposed upon them by this and simi- ! dilation and extermination of the Bouth.
lar measures. Is the Democratic party
prepared to submit to these usurpations of
power ? But a little light was dawning :
Mr. Brooks, (editor of tbe Express,)
said :
Y'he’kingly idea of government, in one
a wing of the Republican party had ai- ; man, or nnder one authority, with certain
