Photography IN ConnterfeltIne.

4 DIR. Buchanan, of Cincinnati, in a
letter to the New York Tribune, says.
Y | have Just witnessed some illustra,
lions of the art Of Photographic Coun-
teffeiiing, which ! deem highly impor,
tant, not only to bank officers, but to
Eihe public al large. Mr.. Fontayne, oi
this city, one of the best daguerreotyp-
lists in the world, has recently made
several Photographic copies of bank
notes, which far surpasses, in the
perfection Of their details. anything
which has ever been done in the old
way Of counterfeiting. When these
photographs are carefully taken on pro.
per bank note paper, they defey detec.
lion, either by the unaided eye or BY
Aaicroacopic inspection &
One Of these photographs, from a
$l0 bill, was deposited by Mr.. F., with
other bills, in the Life and Trust Com.
pany, and was received without sus.
picion. He then informed them that
there was bad bill among them; the
money was reinspected, and he was
positively assured that it was all good,
and requested TO poin, out the defective
bill; he did so, and alter a general ex.
animation by the officers present, the
bill was again pronounced good, An.
other trial was made by presenting a
Photographic copy OF a bill at the
principal banking houses. At the
banks OF Smead, Collard 4 Hughes,
Gregory & Ingulsbee, and some Others
the photograph was received, and after
careful inspection, was pronounced a
good bill. A still more rigid test
was made by presenting photographs
and genuine bills to Mr.. Booth, and
other bank note engravers. After the
most careful inspection they were un-
able to detect the Photographic coun-
terfeit. for as | have observed, the min.
utest details are perfect under microsco.
pic scrutiny.
l think it is obvious from these tact:
that our paper money currency is in q
dangerous condition, and that il is nee.
essarv to give The widest publicity tc
these alarming developments. II any
Igood masters Of photography can, in 9
short time, and at a trilling expense
flood the country with spurious money,
which even cashiers, presidents, and
experts OF every grade are unable to de-
Ilett, we have no security in our paper
currency.' %'''
-
1t is not only our currency that il
asssiled by this art, but every thing de.
pending on the human pen is liable to
counterieiting. Ones autograph may
be at any time affixed to a bank check,
promissOry note, will, Decd. letter oil
credit, or recommendation, or any mum,
ber Of autographs may be affixed to
any document the operator may please
the autographs being so perfect, that
the writer himself could not detect an
error. .."... ....{ 90. t.-.t r.'r

not already been anticipated by arrivals at

criterion, the new Government appears to be

which may be judged from the outline, which
forms the first paragraph. He says:

Do the English Misstate, or do They Misun
derstand tho esources Of Russia?

Do the English Misstate, or do They Misun-
derstaad tho resources Of Russia:
An American traveller in Russia, returned
home by the Atlantic communicates to the
reporters of two of the New York papers,
results of his observations upon the resour-
ces of the Gar, the spirit of his people, and
the economical condition of the Empire,
which are strangely in conflict with the out
givings of the British Press, though in har-
mony with opinion in America, upon all these
vital points in the question of the duration
of the war in Europe. ~
First among the facts reported is the most
pregnant one, that Manufactures are rapidly
springing up in every part of Russia. The
War serves as an Exclusive Tariff The pol
icy of the Government has for forty-one
years been wisely Protective. In aid of this
has come absolute commercial non-inter-
course with the manufacturing English and
French. Necessity and opportunity, con-
spire to supplant foreign labor with domes-
tic industry. A nation iii this case, is acqui-
ring wealth and growing in power, inevitably.
War, if confined to the frontiers, is a bles-
sing and not a curse.
Stcohdly, money is Said to be abundant
in Russia, and undoubtedly is so. The army
supplies, unlike those of the Allies, are pur-
chased wholly within the country. The mon
ey is paid to Russians and not to foreigners.
The Imperial Mint, too, is kept at work
night and day, and an ukase has prevented
the expectation of coin and the precious met
ais. The evidence of an abundance of mon
ey, is in the continuation of the public civil
works-the construction and ornamentation
of churches-the building of private resi-
dences-the' undisturbed state of the mar
kets-the unchanged relations of paper to
specie-and the freedom with which metallic
change is paid out in all stores on the pur-
chase of goods.
| The two facts above stated speak volumes.
The English ought to know them-and prob
ably do know them. If they gave them
their full weight, they certainly would have
national sigh over the prospect of an in
terminable conflict, which they must logical
| ly suggest to all minds.
The temper of Russia throughout is war
like. The pride, the religion, the obstinacy
and the self-interest of the nation, are fully
reused. The determination to fight till an
honorable and just peace is offered, or con-
uuered. is national: Can this be said of the
English people2
r To support these elements of protracted
warfare, comes the regular prosecution Of
Agriculture in Russia, and On increased
growth of breadstuffs. This too is a fact oil
great Importance, and deserving Of note and
| MEASUREMENT in Downing street. Kindred
thotibh somewhat remote facts to be estifha-
ted in the solution of the question of the du
ration of War, are first, the abundance and
cheapness of transportation in the Crimea
