the 20*8, 50’s and 100’s, of the issue

the genuine issues of these notes there
is a shield in the upper left corner, the

of the genuine note wears a black belt,

j as if the stone from which the impres-
sion was taken Jiad been broken or
! cracked. In the counterfeit there is
j no such blurr or hair line. In the
i centre vignette, right side, near the
' cotton press, is a mule—in the genuine
it is very indistinctly executed, and the
mule looks as if ho were walking from
you, presenting only a tail view—in
the counterfeit it is much plainer, and
the mule presents almost a broadside
view.
Ai the upper l ight corner of the
genuine notes, the white ground ap

dallion work; in the counterfeit the
entire work is dark.
FIFTIES.
Several white spots appear just over
the figures fifty, in the medallion work
at the upper, light corner of the gen
uine notes; there are none in the coun
terfeit. The outside of this medallion
work in the counterfeit is covered by
a running net work; in the genuine
there is none. In front of, and at
tached to the 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
combed down on the right temple; in
the counterfeit a full head of hair is
represented, the hair on the right
temple being slightly dishevelled, as. if
blown by a puff of wind.
In the genuine the head of the fe
male between the words Confederate
States, is near the centre. In the coun-
eiffeit the head is placed so as to
touch the letter E iu Confederate.

entirely separating the tail of the fig

genuine the figure 2 is perfect. In

of the man in the lower left corner ol
the note, sits more upon the top of
the head than in the counterfeit; in
the counterfeit the hat seems to he

hat is broader than in counterfeit—the sha

feit they run diagonally across the body.

The Flarcup in l!ic Yankee Cabinet.
The Richmond Examiner thus alludes
to Old Abe’s Happy Family : ”
The physiogomy of the Government at
Washington varies from hour to hour and
from day to day. Now we hear that the.
Cabinet is smashed, that Seward and
Chase have resigned; now that Stanton
and Halleck, and the reds who are redder
titan Lincoln, and the Abolitionists who
are blacker than Seward, have triumphed
or been beaten ; that Lincoln has turned
out every body or refused to order the
decapitation of'any one; and finally that
thieves have ceased to fall out, and that
the mantle of & patched peace covers their
venomous animosities. But whether this
or that member of the plot goes out, or
comes in, or is turned out we ma3 r safely
.leaunie H5 a certainty huh mm
and concert is forever ended. The party
quarrels now in full conflagration are
unextinguishable save in the bath of a new
Presidential election. The ilaine will
rise despite all efforts to quench it, to
more towards the back of the {culmination in November of’64. It is the
old, deathless, eternal quarrel oi the outs
and the ins. Offices cannot be given to
all. Contract will not make a millionaire
of every Yankee. The sands of the shore

have ceased to be a unit, even for tho
plunder and murder of the South. Here
we have a solid ground for satisfaction.—
The real union of a nation for any purpose,
good or bad, constitutes a tremendous
agency. The union for resistance in the
Southern Confederacy exists in its great
est integrity. 'The combination for attack
in the North is disordered and discordant.
That division does not immediately end

hut it is an element, the growth of which
will render our safety and success purely

STONE H'A I- J, S ACKSON,
Not in the dim cathedral.
Filled with the organ’s tones,
But on the sward beneath the trees,
Through which th* sad wind moans;
Where spurs and sabres clank,
And chargers paw the ground,
And the bronzed and bearded troopers kneel,
Silent and stcru around.
Thence to Heaven ascending,
Breathes forth as earnest prayer
As ever irom the towering roof,
The angels upward beat;
When the bloody toil of battle
Is o'er and the fight is won,
And the dying gaze from their last red field,
Upon the smoke-dimmed sun.
And be, the war-worn chieftain,
With bowed aud humbled head,
Pours forth a prayer for his native land,
For the living and the dtad;
In sight of their desolated homes,
Laid waste with fire and sword,
Of the wounded and slain, he bids them turn
To the eternal Loud.
He prays for the wives ar.d mothers
(Worthy of ancient Rome.)
Who watch iu the gathering night, for those
Who will never more come home '
Old gray haired men like children weep,
And boys press nearer still;
The wounded open their fading eyes
And forget the warning chill.
lie pray3 for their bleeding country—
The wronged and outraged South—
And the grim, stern look of vengeance
Gathers around each mouth,
He thanks the God of battles
For His blessing in time of need.
And asks for the help of that right strong artn
Until the land is freed.
Next day where the fight is thickest,
And the bayonets clash and meet—
Where the shell and round shot his-, and scream,
And the bullets come thick as sleet—.
Jackson will lead the forem~-‘--t>arge,
Till the rocman iec-1
in riant and rear the avenging stroke
Of the trenchant Southern steel.
The moon light gleams on the cannon,
And the scouts go galloping by;
The watch-fires fiare through the gloomy trees
And redden the quiet sky.
The spirit of prayer has strengthened all,
Who live on that gory field,
Where patriots vow on their unbonght swords,
To die—but never to yield.
The Fight of Cobb’s Brigade.—In
giving on account of tho battle of Satur
day, allusion has been made to the des
perate encounter of Cobb’s brigade with
the enemy in which that gallant com
mander lost his life. ’I’lie Richmond Whig
has since learned, that this figfit occurred
on Mr. John C. Marye’s place just out
side of the .town of Fredericksburg. A
stone wall runs through this place on eith
er side of a small building, and behind the
wall Cobb’s men were concealed. The
position is on a hill, separated from thc
town by an interveuiag valley known as
Sandy Bottom. A heavy column of the
enemy advanced to dislodge our small
force at that point, and when within mus
ket range they lay down and opened fire ;
but finding this had no effect they gath
ered up for a charge* Gen. Cobb waited
until they had appeared within a hundred
yards, when he ordered his men to fire.
The effect is represented to have been
terrific. The approaching column was
broken, and in the retreat many were left
dead on the field. A second, and yet a
-
PiesiJent of the Confederate States, he
had determined to know no State, yet his
heart beat with livelier pulse for Mississip
pi, and he looked upon Mississippi sol
diers with a pride and emotion which no
others inspired.
'The President spoke of his love for the
j old Union. He alluded to it, however as
• a matter of regret, that tho best affec-
| tions of his heart should have been be-
j stowed upon an object so unworthy—that
! he should have loved so long a government
i which was rotten to its very core.
He bad predicted from the beginning a
fierce war, though it had assumed more
gigantic proportions than he had calcula
ted upon. He had prediettd war, not
because our right to secede was an un
doubted one, and clearly defined in the
spirit of that declaration which rests the
right to govern upon the consent of thc
governed, but the wickedness of the North
wouid entail war upon the country. The
present war waged against the rights of a
free people was unjust and the fruit of the military establishment was of
evil passions of the North. In the pro
gress of the war those evil passions have
been brought out aud developed; and so
j far from re uniting with such a people
l a people whose descendants Cromwell had
j gathered from the bogs and fens of Ire
land and Scotland—a people whose intol
erance produced discord and trouble wher
ever they went—who persecuted Catho
lics, Episcopalians and every other sect
that did not subscribe to their bigotted
and contracted notions—who hung witches
and did a thousand other things calcula
ted to make them fororcr Infamous—the
FrP-AAoiit: was emphatic in his declaration
that under no circumstances would he con
sent to re-union.
ITc drew a glowing picture of the hor
rors of war, and the ravages of tho enemy;
and while his tears flowed for those who
suffered, yet all these would be endured
cheerfully before our manhood and our
liberties would be surrendered.
The War upon Northern Soil.
He alluded briefly to his desire to trans
fer the war upon Northern soil, but the
failure to this proceeded not from a want
of inclination, but of*power. We were
not an old established nation, with armies
and navies at our command. TIipso had
to be improvised from the scanty materials
to be found within the limits of our own
Confederacy. TFe were blockaded and
cut off’from other nations, and everybody
knows that we had been an agricultural
people, and that our facilities for manu
facturing materials of war were extremely
limited. Notwithstanding this fact, pa
tent to the most casual observer, we had
now an army larger than ever before—our
arms and munitions of war were increased
iu number and improved in quality, and
we are in a better condition to-day than
we were twelve months ago.
Conscription and Exemption Acts.
He alluded to the Conscription and ex
emption laws of Congress, explaining the
necessity of the one, and the intention of
the other. Was sorry to perceive that
there had been a false construction upon
the first of these laws. There was no dis
honor in being conscripted. The Govern-
third attempt was made by fresh troops. • men t j iat i as much right to make laws rc-
to take the position, but with the same
result. The third time, after our men had
discharged their pieces with deadly aim,
they leaped over the wall and pursued tho
retreating Y ankees, loading and firing as
they run. The position was held through
out the da}*; and after the fall of the
General, at 2 o’clock, p. m., there was
not a manSn TffC imgcrttr. w* in
spired with a desire to avenge his death.
It was remarked that General Cobb dis
played a spirit of invincible courage, and
doubtless the fact that he was fighting in
sight of his mother’s birthplace, now inva
ded and polluted by a mercenary foe, con
tributed somewhat to his determination to
die rather than surrender.

LEGISLATURE OF MISSISSIPPI.
At noon yesterday, the hour appointed
for the speech of the President, the Rep
resentative Hall was crowded to over
flowing—not a space large enough to
stand upon was left unfilled. The ladies
occupied nearly all the seats, leaving the
men all standing. The gallery, too, was
literally thronged, and many hundreds,
perhaps, had to turn back disappointed,
so great was tho eagerness of our people
to hear the President.
The President spoke about one hour
and a half, and during all that time the |
drop of a pin might have been heard itr I
any part of the auditory, except when ;
the welkin was made to ring with thc ,
quiring the services of its citizens in the
army, as to compel them to work public
roads or to pay taxes. The object of that
portion of the exemption law which ex
empted thc owners, agent or overseer of
twenty negroes, was not intended to draw
any distinction whatever between classes.
No benefit vt as intended to the rich from
• it. It was simply to provide a police force
• which C’ongieoo thought necessaiy, and
j to facilitate the agricultural productions
| of tlic country, to supply the wants of
! both the poor people and the army. Any
law intended to bear unfairly upon the
poor, even to a feather’s weight, would
never have received his signature. “Tho
poor have fought our battles,” said the
i’residcnt, “and so have the rich.’ / The
poor in all revolutions are flic main stay
and props of the country. But while the
poor have nobly done their duty, wc have
no cause to complain of the rich. All
have done well, and many of the wealth
lest aud most distinguished families in the
South have sons in the ranks. He in
stanced Hon. Israel Welsh, and others,
who had fought as privates in the blood
iest engagements of the war. He thought
there might be very properly a revision of
the exemption law, and trusted there
would be no conflict between Confederate
and Slate laws upon the subject of the
military. That there should be no war
with States; and if any State chose to in
flict a blow upon tho common cause by
enacting conflicting military laws, he
hoped that .Mississippi would be thc last
to adopt such a suicidal policy.

Last Moments of Gen. Gregg.—On the
evening of the great battle at Fredericks
burg, after he had received his mortal
wound, Gen. Gregg dictated the following
despatch:
“ To His Excel/envy Gov, Pickens:
“I am severely wounded, but thc troops
under my command have acted as
always have done, and I hope wc
gained a glorious victory. It I am to die j
uow, I give my life cheerfully for thc iu- j
dependence of South Carolina, and 1 trust j
you will live to see our cause triumph j
completely.
“Maxcy Gregg.”
To this Governor Pickens returned the
following reply:
• * To Gen. Maxcy Gregg, Yearly House, j
near Fredericksburg:
“I trust God will spare you; but if you
die, your glorious name will be loved
throughout all time. Every South Caro
lina heart beats for you and your heroic
men.
“F. TV. Pickens,”
ic facilities rcuders that impossible aud
we have only to draw from our memory.
Upon thc appearance of the President,
lie was greeted with rapturous applause,
clearly showing that he still retained the
deep love and hearty confidence of bis
old friends. Ascending the Speaker’s j
stand he was introduced by Hon. James
i Drane, President of the Senate. There j
! were several moments before he could be ;
continued applause
heard amid the long
of the audience.
He commenced by stating that two
years ago he had been called to fill a posi- j
tion the duties of which had occupied all
1 his time, leaving him no opportunity to j
they '■ mingle with his friends of Afrssissippi,. or
have share personally in the dangers that me
naced them. But wherever ho might bu
—wherever duty commanded him to stay
—his heart was with us, and the success !
of thc common cause for which we were |
the disciplined aud active soldiery could
take thc field. The calls for such service
could be for thirty, sixty or ninety days,
and when the emergency had passed, they
could return to their pursuits. Raw sol
diers, the President contended, could do
effective service in the trenches, and the
adoption of such a policy would strength
en our means of defence quite materially.
In his allusion to thc vast numbers of
the North, thc President said that upon
any fair field wa were willing to fight
them two to one; at Antietam, Gen. Lee
whipped them four to one. But this might
not be the case always. As thc enemy pro
gressed in discipline, they approached
nearer to our own troops in efficiency.
Hence the necessity of providing some
thing like a corresponding force to that
which the enemy arc bringing against us.
Stragglers.
The President denounced in terms of
all battling was first in his thoughts, first (
in his prayers, and the safety and promo- I scathing hut dignified rebuke tho habit
tion of which should be the object of bis . of straggling from the army. He invoked
constant endeavor. When he left Missis- 1 public opinion to frown it down, andcall-
sippi two years ago he thought his absence i eu upon the women to drive tho strag-
would be only temporary—that he would glers back to duty,
soon return and lead her heroic sons to bat
tle in defence of their dearest rights—a
task which ho thought would have been
more congenial to his tastes aud better
suited to his capacities, than tho one to
which he had been assigned. Although
iu the discharge of his responsibilities as
Fill up the Ranks.
He urged the necessity of filling up the
thinned ranks of our regiments. Those
veterans who had gone through many hard
fought battles looked for their kindred at
home to supply the places which had
been made vacant by the death of their
comrades. A brigade which mustered
only twelve hundred men, would have to
bleed as much as if it had its full quota
of 4,000. Their ranks must be filled; hu-
manity demands it. It was a time for-
patriots to throw off tho shackles of pri
vate interest, fly to the rescue of those he
roes which thc ravages of war had yet
spared, and consecrate themselves to the
most sacred cause on earth.
The real Danger. ' v
The President remarked that when be
arrived here he thought the enemy were
pressing down upon us from the
borders of our State, but when he went
to Greneda he there learned that noth
ing could be seen of them but their backs.
They were going back, perhaps with the
intention of reinforcing the heavy column
that was now being thrown down the
Mississippi river. The real points of at
tack was at Vicksburg and Port Hudson;
and to all who desired to lend a helping
hand to the country in her present exigen
cy he would say, “Go to Port Hudson
and Vicksburg without delay!”
'Sccvssity of Harmony—Permanent Mili
tary system.
He spoke of the salutary effects of har
monious action between the several States
and the government at Richmond, and
urged upon legislators, both State and
Confederate, the necessity of establishing
a.permanent military system, for even af
ter the present war has ended we might
expect trouble from our enemies unless our
such char
acter as to give them a wholesome fear of
precipitating a war upon us. The true
theory was to adopt a military system
which would he permanent and opera
tive in time of peace.
The Question at Issue.
The issue involved in this war was no
ordinary one. The question is, will yon
be free, or will you be the slaves of tha
most depraved and intolerant and tyranni
cal and hated people upon earth? This
was the real question to be decided. Ev
erything else was as dust in the balance.
A people who had demonstrated iheir ut
ter incapacity for self government, who
had destroyed their own liberties in the
vain effort to deprive us of ours, seek to
be our masters, and inflict upon us such
galling chains as have no parallel in the
the annals of tyranny. Mississippi is the
object of their peculiar hatred; upon her is
to be visited their refined vengeance. But
our cause is just and vengeance belongs to
the Lord! We will resist the power of
the enemy. Discard all other considera
tions but the public defence, and victory
will again be ours.
Asptrtions of thc Administration.
The President alluded very briefly to
the falsehoods which had been circulated
relative to the administration, which he
could not disprove, because such disproval
would give the enemy a knowledge of
things which the good of the cause re
quired to be concealed from him. That
he had committed some errors lie did not
doubt, though they were never the re
sult of improper motives. For s^indica-
tion of himself from the aspersions of some
of his fellow citizens, he confidently a-
waited the time when the cause would not
suffer from such vindication. He, howev
er explained the great necessity of public
confidence in the officers of the Govern
ment, and pointed to that great and good
man Gen. Albert Sidney Johnson, as a
shining example of the effects of withhold
ing that deserved confidence which tha
public welfare requires.
Mississipjtians must sustain their Fame.
Mr. Davis made an eloquent appeal to
Mississippians to prove themselves in this
hour of peril, worthy of the proud fame
won by the State upon the plains of Chal-
mette—to emulate the glory achieved by
her sons upon the fields of Mexico, and in
the still more glorious battles of the Con
federacy.' By all the future and hy dll
the past, by the memory of those whose
bones already bleach upon the battle plains
of our country, lie invoked then to stand
firm against the devastating columns of
theenemy.
Duration of the War.
Though the war had somewhat exceed
ed his expectations, yet he has never
doubted our final success, and he consid
ered it now as absolutely certain. The
duration of tho war was a question of
time. He thought, however, it was not
possible for a war waged upon such a
tremendous scale, to bo long protracted.
Be it long or short, however, we could not
be the first to cry out “hold enough.”
Vicksburg.
The President paid a deserved tribute
to Vicksburg. That noble little city
had withstood the shocks of the combined
fleets of the enemy, after the great cities
of New Orleans and Memphis had suc
cumbed to their supposed invincibility.
The heroic women of Vicksburg cried out
give the enemy the soil if it cannot be de
fended, hut let hitn have nothing else.
The Governor left his chair and repaired
to the scene of danger and refused to listen
to any advice except of defiance to the
concentrated power of the enemy. We
are belter prepared at Vicksburg now than
then. Our defences are gieatly improved
and strengthened. TVe have better ar
mies, and that gallant soldier (Gen. John
son) is pouring in reinforcements. He
comes to Mississippi to protect and save
her. (Immense applause.)
Recognition—Foreign Nations.
To the question of recognition and in
tervention, the President devoted only a
few words. TVe had a right to expact
recognition long since, but it had not come
and his advice was; “Put not your faith
in princes, nor rest your hope, upon for
eign nations.” It seesied that England
still refused to take any steps towards
either recognition or mediation* France
had made a move that seemed friendly,
to us, a.tdwhcn we she extended the hand
of friendship, we would be ready to grasp
it.
No Relrogradation.
The President took a brief retrospec
tive view of tLo movement of our armies
since the fall of New Orleans—an event
as unexpected to him as it was to ns—and
showed that we had not retrogaded, but
had gathered largely in strength. Annies
are not made up in numbers only. TVe
have now au army that we can safely re
ly on. We have stripped gunboats of
their terrora. We have improved in all
those things which go to make ns invinci
ble. Our prospects are much better thau
they were twelve months ago.
Two objects of thc Enemy.
There are two grand objects of theen
emy: 1st, to get possession of the river,
and thus cut our Confederacy in two, and
secondly to seize the Confederate Capital
and to hold it up to foreign nations as an
evidence that the Confederacy does not
exist.
The President dwelt at some length up
on the vast importance of thwarting the
