WITHIN the past two weeks, a number of Bilis have been
presented at the Bank of the State of Georgia, purpoit

the Branch in Augusta, to John Phinzy, dated 4th March, IB3li, ‘
and Bth Nov., 1840, signed A. Porter, Cashier, and W. B. Bul
t ch. President, which are spurious. The genuine p’ate of the
50’a is so nearly imitated that it is well calculated to deceive.
The signatures are well executed, apparently engraved, and
traced over with pen and ink. The paper is thick, and of a
dingy yellow, and the back of the counterfeit not printed in •
redink. The general appearance is rather good, but the fraud ;
may pe detected by noticing the tilling up of the words i
