Counterfeit.

A counterfeit note on the Com
mercial Bank Of Kentucky of the
81 plate, has made its appearance.
1t was received in this city in let
ter from Nashville. The Commercial
Bank has no two dollar notes on the
principal bank, and the counterfeit is
made payable at Paducah. 1t is Il
very gross counterfeit, being en-
tirely unlike any of the genuine
notes. The Gate and signature are
both Autographed, and it purports TO
be engraved by Danlorth, Wright &
Co., OF New York. who have never
done any engraving for the Bank.
The vignette in the center OF the
note is ship, with a ship 90 the
right hand end, and portrait on the
left end. In the genuine no.e the
Vignette is a map Of Kentucky, with
the letters tago printed three times
on the right end, a portrait Of a la
dy and the figure 2 on the left end.
This is enough to guard the unwary.

FAYETTEVILLE, TENN:
A few Plain Questions.

A correspondent of the Christian
Observer asks of the Evangelist, and
anti;slavery editors who are in the
habit oe denouncing slaveholding as
sin, a categorical answer to he fol-
lowing inquiries:
lst. In the covenant which God
made with Abraham and bis spiritu.
al children, which is understood to be
the Gospel covenant, WIS it vrong
to provide for the purchase Of bond.
men, or slaves? Genesis, chap. II:
II aud IS.
2nd. Was it arrOng for the Angel,
when meeting HIgar in The wilder
ness, fleeing from her mistress, who
had treated her badly, to send Der
b,ck into the state Of servitude from
which she had so happily escaped?
Gen. 1G: 9.
81. Was it evro1g for Moses, act.
ing under direct command from
God, to authorize the lsraelitcs 10
purchase bondmen, or slaves, from
the heather, and leave them as an
inheritance to their children forever?
Levitt. %: A. A., 46.
Ali. Was it wrong for The S ivioar,
when he healed the CeDturlonS Ser
want, to commend the faith of the
master without roproving him for The
sin of slapeholding.
5th. Was it wrong foi the Apostle
Paul to send runaway slave back
to bis master. Philemon, without a
single word Of admonition about the
sin Of slaveholding?
9th. Was it wrong for the Apostle
TO speak of masters who had SER
wants under the yoke (of servitude)
as fnMtiH and beloued, aud to state
that as a reason why their slaves (uu-
der the yoke) should render them a
cheerful obedience? / Tim. 6: |, 2,8.
18th. Was it sgrOng for the Apos-
lie in immediate connection With
such teaching, to condemn those who
fea:A oMermise,as ignorant and proud,
doting about questions and strife of
words wherefore cometh envy, strife,
ratings, evil surmisings, and peryerse
dispuiings? l Tim, 6: 4 D 6.
Sth. Is there anything in the re-
lation of master to his servant to
make That 10 be a sin now, which
was not sin in the days Of Paul
and Moses?
9th. If slaveholding be sin. have
not Paul, and Jesus. and Moses, and
the Great God himself { speak it
reverently,) given explicit permission
for the existence Of this sin. without
"A single word o. rebuke?
10th. Is not the "royal law =
thou shalt lore thy neigtbOr as thy-
seif--as truly aud readily obeyed by
the master TO his slave, as BY the en-
ployer to those 10 bis seryiee-and
is there not as much injustice and
oppression exercised over those IN
seryituda at the North as there is
over the colored population OF the
South?

IA. there were present British hish.

Sl4, there we're present British bish-
ops. At this time there were three
metropoiitans in Britain, and this was
two hundred years before there were
any Roman missionaries on the island.
st. Albap, its proto-martyr, was put
to death for his faith during the reign
of Diocletian in A. D. sos. Almost
three hundred years before Rome had
a foothold in Britain, the British
Church had not only her Bishops bat
her martyrs.
Thus it is evident that the church
was fully established in England, and
from a source entirely independent
of Rome, nearly five hundred years
before the Romish church sent thith-
er its emissaries.
The shades Of the night Of the
Middle Ages were now falling upon
Christendom. The Pope's suprema-
cy had finally, though reluctantly,
been conceded by The Western
churches, and the successor Of st.
Peter was beginning to lord it over
Gods heritage. To the great credit
Of the English church. ii can be shown
that. during this dark period. there
were leading men in that communion

DR.. Potts succeeded in the Chan

case was then argued aud -e-argued
before the High Court, and decided

CHARLESTON TRADE.-'Spectator,
the Charleston correspondent of the
Mobile Register, writes:
1T is truly encouraging TO US to
read the liberal and just comments
Of the press of your State on the re-
suit OF the efforts Of our city to Sc
cure the Southern trade, and the fiat
tering manner in which they allude
to the ability Of Charleston to COM
pete with Northern cities in this re-
spect. Your merchants who have
purchased large stocks here, appear
to have gone home with general ex-
preston Of qualification at their visit,
and with disposition to return an
other season. | am sure that our
merchants here will meet them in an
equally generous spirit. In view, Of
more general aud extensive patron.
age from the South. they will Ger.
tainly make more diligent repara.
tions for laying in as largo and su-
perior stock as en- be foundin any
part Of the country, and selling on
as advantageous terms. They feel
full able to compete with New York
in every respect. We have repeated
testimony from merchants OF the in
terror that our merchants have dis.
played grea. judgment and sagacity
in making just such preparations, the
present season, as we're necessary fol-
the contingency. The season was
somewhat advanced, and the attempt
was attended with risk and uncer.
tainty. 1t would therefore have been
unwise in them to import heavy stocks
of goods 70: their first experiment
But let the merchants of the South
and West do as we'll as they have
done so far, and We promise them
they will never again have occasion
to patronize their enemies.
/ Setting all political prsjudices aside,
there is no reason that Charleston
should not be the great seat Of South
ern trade. Long ago, before any
necessity arose for retaliatory action
at all, she was called the CONNER
cial Emporium Of the South, and
had the same disposition Oh the part
of both buyers and sellers been shown
then as now, her geographical posi-
ton alone would have entitled her
to fair competition with other At
Iantic cities, for at least the trade and
patronage Of her neighbors and Sis
tiers.

Louis Nape!eons Huge Army.

A Paris correspondent Of the Bos-
ton Tfaueler, tells, under the date Of
Paris, March Is, the following story
of Louis Napoleon's military schemes:
Louis Napoleon is about organi-
|zlog an immense army 10 addition to
the regular army. He knows that
before he attains the objects he pro-
poses, be must confront all Eorope in
arms. The new-army will be some.
thing between the regular army and
the National guard. Every year
10000 men will be called out to
serve the country for seven years;
that is, there will be enlisted 1850,
600 men, one-half Of which, !. e.,
100000 men. viii be actually in
the ranks of the regular army; the
other, $4,000 men, will be allowed
to remain at home, but will be liable
to be called into active service, and
drafted into the regular army whensv-
er it may please Louis Napoleon.
In ordinary times these men, who
win be allowed to remain ct home,
! will be assembled once month and
thoroughly drilled by officers Of the
army. When their seven wears of
service exnires. they will be drafted
into the NItional Guard, where they
will Serve until forty-fiye years
old.
The National Guard is to be re-
organized. No person will be ap-
pointed an officer in it, except half
pay officers of The regular army, and
no person will be allowed to enter
the ranks except discharged soldiers
Of the army, and all discharged SOL
diers of the amy will, upon their
discha rye, be drafted into the Ma.
tional Guard, and be Of service until
they are tive-and-lOrN years old.
By the management Louis Napolean
will have ready to take the field at
any moment
Reserved National Guards 100000
National Guards (all old soldiers mind
.you) 100000
Regular army $4,000
Total army $500 600
