coUNTERFEfTs

For the benefit Of our readers, says the
Vicksburg Southron, we extract from our
New Orleans exchanges the following par.
ticulars concerning the lately discovered
counteEfeit bills on the Citizens Bank oi
New Orleans. They say:
This is one of the most dangerous coun.
'tcrfeits yet come to light, only equaled by
the bogus gold pieces which are IN circula,
ton. The intelligence Of the counterfeit
was received from the agents in Galveston
Texas, being received there from the interi-
OF. of the State, and must have been divuleed
by one Of the confederates in the iniquity
for there is not one person in thousand
accustomed to the handling of money, who
can discern the difference between the genu.
inc and the counterfeit notes. The officers
of the bank, on closely scrutinizing discOy-
cred that the engraving and the shading Of
the counterfeit notes are different, as also
are the figures, which have coarse appear,
ance, particularly in the figures in the left
hand corner, the towering around the word
ten, and around the other ten of the notes
1t puzzled at first both the President and the
Cashier to identify the variations. 1t is
impossible to say what amount Of these false
issues are out. 1t cannot be much, as some
of the gang have blowed too quick. We
also continue to hear daily of counterfeit and
bogus gold pieces Of all denominations. The
only safety for person not accustomed tc
the handling of money is, when he gets any
to deposit it in the bank, where and when
he will soon learn Of its genuineness
We take occasion to warn the community
against counterfeit ten dollar bills Of the
Citizens Bank, number Of which are in
circulation. Yesterday we inspected two
which had been rejected at the bank after q
very rigid examination, They are admirably
executed, and would easily deceive many a
practical eye. A close inspection, however
shows that in the counterfeit the initial j
in the name of the President is carried uT
much higher than in the genuine; that the
sexagon on the book, within which the word
dix" is smaller, ard that the paper is
thinner. When we state, however, that two
counterfeits of this sort were taken without
suspicion by one of the best judges of bank
notes in our city, the reader may form some
idea of the excellence Of the imitation.
