MORE Hor SHOT INTO WALKER.-A cor respondent of the Augusta Constitutional ists, leading Democratic paper, over the signature of 6 Troup," thus bolabors Mir. Buchanan's Kansas appointee:
 Such vile, sneaking treachery makes one think of the dagger of Brutus, and the axe of Cromwell. If negroes are not to be de- coyed away from Missouri to Kansas under his pious reign, it is to be hoped that our friends there will manageto get hemp enough from that State to give such a traitor the doom he so richly deserves.
 But, Mir. Editor, your whole duty is not vet done-Walker states that his opinions and views were well known to Mir. Buchan- an and his Cabinet, before he left Washing ton. Whether this be true or not, the next thirty days will show. If MT. Buchanan retains him after his inaugural, any longer than he can send letter dismissing him, put it to you, and the people, is he not as vile traitor as Walker? and IS not the du- ty as high and imperative on every true Southern man to denounce him as such?

COTTON SEED OIL.-For three weeks past, the publisher of the Whig has been using the cotton seed oil manu- Iactured IF by Messrs. P.

AGLARING CoUNTERFEIT.-The New Orleans Picayune of the 10th, has the following description of base coun- terfeit:
 We have been shown a specimen of avery poor counterfeit upon the South ern Bank, New Orleans, of the de- nomination of fifty dollars. In no- thing is it like the genuine fifty dollar note of that bank. It does not pur- port to be the same plate, but is sheer swindle made out of the whole cloth. The devices are different, the vignettes, the dies, and even the size of the note. Signatures are nothing like those of Mir. Egerton, the President, and MT. Wibray, the cashier, and the name of of the auditor is spelt Borde-lin in stead of Borde-lon. The number of the specimen before us is 692, and the date April II, 1857. A very little care in inspecting ffties of the South ern. Bank will protect all, but the very Verdant, from imposition against this counterfeit.
