FIFTIES.
Several white spots appear just over
tlio figures fifty, in the medallion work
at the upper right corner of the gen
uine notes; there are none in the coun
terfeit. The outside of this medallion
work in the counterfeit is covered hy
a running net work; in the genuine
there is none. In front of, and at-,
taehed to ihe chest, in the centre pic
ture of the genuine note, there is a
padlock; there is none in the counter
feit. In the genuine note the head of
the man in the lower left corner
is ‘nearly bald, a little hair is
1 down on the right temple; in
full hrtnd of hair is
replies* o
temple being slightly uishev; oea, no
blown by a puli' of wind.
In the genuine the head of the fe
male between the words Confederate
Stafr.s, is near the centre. In the coun-
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,
entiroly coparating tho tail of the fig
ure from the main body of it; in the
genuine ° ~ ** p^rTecr. xu
the genuine bills the hat on the head
of the man- in the lower left corner of
the note, sits more upon the top ol
the bead than in the counterfeit; in
the counterfeit the hat seems to be
thrown more towards the back of the
neck.
.In the genuine the crown of the sailor’s
hat is broader than in counterfeit—the sha
ding line on his jacket in t lie genuine, run
square across the body—in the counter
feit they run diagonally across the body.
Also, between the* XX on the right
lower corner are two hearts separated
and pointing towards each other in the
genuine, but in the spurious only one,
or if two, run together.
The paper of all the genuine notes
is of poor quality, but in the counter
feit it is of a fair quality of bank note
paper.
’Note.—The hair line is not an infallible teat,
as I have seem one on a counterfeit—but a famil-
iority with the face of the sailor on tho genuine
bill will enable you to detect the false one on
sight, JJ.
If we unfold the bloody page
Of ’62—bloodiest of any age—
What glorious deeds! what heroes rise
Like holy incense to til*- skies !
Born ol' the Flood and Storm and Flame,
Crown'd with an immortal fame—
“Old Stone wall’’—how we love thy name !
In Camp, in Court, in Grove the same.
Strong as the Oak—swift as the wind,
Fierce as the Storm—vet oh so kind,
And brave and generous and true !
Hard as a knot—vet fresh as dew
Upon a violet, ere yet one ray
Of ligltt had hearakled the day.
And Lee ! great Captain of the Age—
Patriot, Soldier,Statesman, Sage!
Virginia’s pride—a Nation’s boast—
The terror of the Yankee Host: j
No “On to Richmond,” if lie stand
With his brave boys, to guard the land.

And glittering blade uplifted high,
The wily Rosencrana defies,
And fills his Legions with surprise.

Whose honor glitters like their sword:
And Evans, i’olk, aua Hood and Wright,
Calm of sold—but terrible ill fight.
And Hardee, Pillow, Cobb and Toombs
The light of whose brave deeds illumes
The pages of onr History,
Unmarred by fraud or mystery.
And now our gallant privates, too,
By tens of thounands come in view,
Whose deeds are writ in blood—:
How have they suffered, how withstood
The weary march, the leaden rain.
Disease and death anil torturing pain !
Oh more than heroes ! History
Will speak your deeds when we are free.
Bat pause ray Muse! the hallowed dead!
Sweet be thy sleep, green bothy bed.
To write their names would take more time
Than I can spare, and my poor rhyme
Would fall so far below the task.
That I must, humbly, pardon ask.

And make the scamps send down a shower

But le<;ve this weight! question where

And now kind readers all, good bye !
I’m young, and half inclined to cry
Because I've made my song no shorter:
But if you'll all give me a Quarter,
I’ll be as happy as a Bird,
And never say an angry word,
To hurt your ear, or mar your joy,
While I remain your

I Headqu’bs Army of the Potomac, I
| December 1G, -18C2—(j o’clock, P. M. j
i Major General IIali.eck,
The army was withdrawn to this side
i of the river because I felt the position in
| front could not be carried, and it was a
j military necessity either to attack or re-
’ tire. A repulse would have been disastrous
to us. The army was withdrawn at night,
without the loss either of property or men.
A. E. Burnside,
Jfajor General Commanding.
Gen. Bnrnside, with military frankness
and brevity, explains the reason of the
retreat of the Army of the Potomac to the
north side of the Rappahannock. ‘ - He felt"
that the position of the rebels could not
he carried, and it was a military necesity
to attack or retire. A repulse would have j in simple division on a schoolboy’s slate
been disastrous to us.’ The return to this j a historian is needed—one that is faithful

extracts.
Your correspondent lias seen many
biographical sketches of the celebrated
“Stonewall but they all abound
inconsistencies, untruths, and inaccuracies
■In the hands of some historians, his life
like the short india rubber blanket of
long soldier, is stretched to suit the subject
To others this eventful history has been
as a lump of clay in the hands of a child—
capable of any degree of plastic distorion
or buauty from a Hindoo idol to a winged
statuette of Apollyon the Lovely, Somp
there be who declare him a myth, a will
o’-the-uisp, a da ncing jack of the wilder
ness, the creation of the mind—or any
amount of minds—disordered ; hut the}'

fact ; and that his life may not go down

may not be wiped out forever like a sum

1 ed without the loss of either men or pro-
; perty. A press dispatch from headquar-
j t-crs gives a full account of the rctrogade
| movement of the army. Even the strag
glers and outlying pickets were brought
off in small boats. The army has been
considerably reinforced since the battle,
and is now comfortable and safe on the
same camping ground it occupied before
tho advance. The dead have been buried
under Rags of truce; and the wpo" J —'

PqssjIiuEa. large portion of the latter, how
ever, fell into the hands of tho enemy.
The total loss in killed and wounded, it is
estimated, will be from 10,000 to 12,000.
In the attack of Gen. Franklin on the left
we had 443 killed, 3,343 wounded, and
1,900 missing. The only redeeming fea
ture in the sad and fiuitlcss loss of life and
limb is the bravery and coolness of the j
] capable and unbiased ; like those, for
; instance, who do the-bingrapbicial sketch-

’ that is wholly competent, and that careth
not a pin for Northern praise nor Southern
; commendation; in brief, one like those
who write tho biographical histories for

a history which he is willing to take his

'Stonewall Jackson was horn very early
in life—in fact, so young was be at that
interesting period of his history, that the
date thereof lurkcth not in Lis ownmemo-

remarkable statement.
We have no words of unkindness for
General Burnside. He is a very different

deserves commiseration rather than cen

To the Editors Republican:
The accompanying brief address was
designed to appear in the morning papers,
and with that view was sent to the only
two reputed independent morning journals,
which, as I am informed, have circulation
among Marylanders, the Sun and Gazette.
The publication was however declined hy
these journals, not as they informed me,
because of their dissent from the truth of
what I say, but because such truths are
not allowed to be published in Baltimore
by the despotic censorship to which they

The following letter, (says the Rich
mond Enquirer.) written on a sheet of a
large blank book, was found in Fredericks
burg when the vandals retired- It tells
of their sacking of the city, and also gives
some idea of their enormous losses. We
give the letter just as it is written, as a
somewhat favorable specimen of that
“education” on which our enemy indulges
his complacency:

the Wandering Jew. In early time the
Jew family was rich, but one evil day
the head of it went down into Egypt,
“bucked” against Pharoah, and come back
with nary shekel, having lost them all in
that, interesting game. From that time
till the discovery ofthe Mississippi river,
the family was too poor to have a name.—

divers ponderous blows. Y‘oung Jackson

political economy of the Shenandotfli Val
iev. Not liking the state of tho cur
rency there, be determined to abolish
Banks; in doing which several desperate
battles were tought, in all of which, though
outnumbered, our troops “gained mater
ial advantage,” (see B—k’s dispatches,)
but our cavalry horses becoming thirsty,
tho army fell back to the Potomac to wa
ter them.
Jackson’s horses, also being dry, he
pushed on for the same watering place,
but learning that Fremont had cut loose,
fell back. Freemant following, a desper
ate engagement took place at Front Roy
al, in which Stonewall would have been
annihilated, had not the U. S. Govern
ment stopped the battle (N. Y’. Tnb.) to
hold a court of inquiry to sec if Fremont
had not paid three postage stamps too
much for a bushel of oats, furnished
through a California friend, to a horse of
his body guard. While the court was in
session Stonewall skedaddled. Fremont
followed, however, anil would have bag
ged him if he had not taken the wrong
road, (N. Y. Herald) and travelled Forth
while Jackson was going South. Getting
safe back to Richmond, Stonewall bore a
leading part in the battles in front ot that
“doomed” (sec all the papers) city.
According to the Noitbern prints, Jack-
son suffered terribly in ptrson in these
battles. He lost his right leg at Hanover
Court-House, and his left at Gainesville.
The next day, while leading his corps into
battle at Savage's, his horse baulked in
front of a barrel of beans, which had been
abandonod by our army, and lie was com
pelled to dismount and go it on foot, in
doing which he lost his right arm. The
succeeding day he lost his left arm at
Peach Orchard.
Two days after, at the battle of Mal
vern Hill, he stooped down to fasten his
shoe, and while in that position his head
was blown off by a 103,000 pound shell.
This was the unkindest cut of all; but the
old veteran merely raised his martial form
erect and said: “My bleeding country, I
cheerfully make the sacrifice. Old head
farewell!” These are but a few of the
wounds the old man has received—accor
ding to the papers. Even as I write, the
report comes that this modern Briareous
lost another arm at Antietam.
Stonewall Jackson, in personal appear
ance, is most unlovely—and it is said that
he—like the Ashantees—files his teeth to
a sharp point every other morning. He
stands eleven feet five inches (or five feet
eleven inches, I am not certain which) in
his boots—when he has got any.
His hair is black, and was furnished to
order by Bachelor of New Y'ork. In re
gion he is at times a devout Catholic—at
least he followed closely in the footsteps
f the Pope during one of his campaigns—
and at others he is a colporteur for the
American Tract Society—at any rate he
has probably left more tracks in Virginia
than any other white man; and, accord
ing to the papers, always goes into battle
with a family Bible under one arm and a
Greek Testament in the coat tail pocket,
which lie feajjs during the intervals of the
fighting.
He is abstemious in his habits, ha-’”

to sum up, Stonewall, in private life is
—as Shakspearc says—“a man as is a
man that we ma' never look upon his like
again.” In his military capacity he is, to
quote etiertuan rcnowicn, -f« r
lamb, in war—a latn'er.

A Gallant lrixbninn at Frcderick»burg.
The following extract from a private
letter will show that Meagher met his
match at Fredericksburg in a gallant son
ofthe Emerald Isle. Col. Robert McMill
an, of the 24th Georgia. We should like
to see McMillan at the head of the lament
ed Cobh’s brigade pitted against Meagher
or Corcoran in an open field:
“But the rejoicing ceased for a time,
and mourning sat on every countenance,
as four grief stricken litter-bearers passed
down the lines, hearing the heroic Cobb,
who had fallen in the first charge of the
enemy. Lieut. Col. Cook, commanding
Phillips’ Georgia Legion, was killed at
this period of tlie action. A fixed resolu
tion seemed at once to possess every heart,
toevenge the death-wound given to their
General, and it devolved upon Col. Robt.
McMillan, of the 24th Georgia regiment,
to lead them in the effort. An opportunity
now offered. A column, stronger and
heavier than the first, was seen to advance.
Flash after flash was seen upon the oppo
site river bank. Shell after shell fell around
us, which were responded to from the
heights in onr rear. Col. McMillan direc
ted the small arms to cease until the enemy
should come within musket range. The
artillery continued its thunder, the mus
ketry remaining silent, till tho enemy
came within lire of our shortest range
guns. Soon leaden hail commenced pour
ing from the clouds of smoke before ns.
The Colonel passed along the lines sur
veying the movements of the enemy,
when suddenly, at his command, the brig
ade rose and sent a volley into the rauks
ofthe foe, which carried ruin in its way.
Again and again was the assault renewed,
and again and again was it repulsed, with
tremendous slaughter. For the troops, tho
position chosen was an admirable one, but
on the part of the officers who did his
duty, there was required the utmost cool
ness and courage. This Colonel McMill
an certainly manifested; While he was
passing along the line, waving his sword,
and encourageing his men, they seemed
to catch the spirit of their leader, and re
double their efforts, while his own regi
ment turned, in the thickest of the fight,
and gave him three hearty cheers. He pos
sesses the confidcuce of his troops. They
love him, and, if need be. will follow him
to the death. In the battle of Fiedericks-
hich
hen
again summon him to tho
field.”
