A case OF Conscience.

The Cashier Of the Bank of Tennessee received
yesterday morning an anonymous communication
as follows
Mr. MORTON. -"Enclosed find S25 which belongs to
your Bank put out $50 of that spurious money on
your Bank Il was given to mel did not steal 1t /;
the rest was put out by somebody else. If you will
put it in some OF the papers how much you have
taken up, will pay it back to you. think it was
$500 they put out, and burnt up the rest. will
send you S25 at a time, till pay you all fit
Tell your folks at R9gersVie not to be SO careless
with their money! will try to get this mailed at
Knoxville l don't know where I will send the

The letter contained $50 in good money. We are
requested to state that one hundred sheets of blank
impress were stolen fromthe Branch at Rogers
vile; each sheet contained three one dollar notes
and one two dollar note. 1t is to be hoped that
the anonymous writer is in saying that only
two hundred dollars were put ia circulation and the
balance burnt The Bank of Tennessee, we under
stand, has Dol ordered the redemption Of these
counterfeit notes The officers of the Branch at
Roqersvlle, where the earelessnes, occurred, will
probably redeem the whole ofthem The officers
Of the Bank have only heard Of ninety dollars in
circulation.
