.Peterson's Counterfeit Deteotor,

a. Peterson's Counterfeit Detector,
for August /, 1851. is published to-day, with its
usual valuable contents. The fourth page of this
number ought to be cut out and pasted up for
reference, as it gives the descriptions of many
plates, engraved in the best STYLE and capable of
being altered to various banks throughout the
country. The recent issue of notes of small
denominations by our country banks, will afford
room for the issue of new batch of these fraudu
lent bills and tradesmen ought to make themselves
acquainted with the description of these fraudulent
plates.
Here are Sc counterfeits put into circulation in
one month. Such publication as this of Peter
sons is indispensable. Everybody who receives
and pays money must have it. If they are wise,
they will take the double issue-of the 18th as well
as the LIST of each month. The completeness of
the "Detector" makes it thoroughly reliable.

1t strikes us that the working Glasses, who earn
their money with difficulty, have the most direct

by them. They ought to subscribe to it at once.

The War In Missouri.


Sharp Skirnaish near Springfield be-
t,ceen Lyons and Nc CuUocRs forces
Small loss on each side.
Especial Dispatch to the Chicago Tribune.)
FRANKLIN, Mo-, Aug. 6.
Intelligence has just been received
here of battle fought last Friday,
the I'd, at Dug Spring 10 miles south
of Springfield, between Gen. Lyons
forces, 5000 strong, and the rebel
troops of McCulloch, estimated at 49,
600. Lyons loss was killed and 80
wounded. Gen. Lyon seized 80 stands
of arms, Is horses and several wagons
of provisions. 27O United states cav
airy came suddenly on the enemy's in
fantry, estimated at 1000, rode on
them and created stampede among
them. They cut their way through the
enemy and came back with loss of 5
men. The cavalry charge was most
brave; several of the enemy were
found on the field with heads cloven
entirely through by the force of the
sabre strokes.
The enemy rctreated during the
night to McCulloch's store, a few miles
south. Gen. Lyon took possession of
the battle field. His pickets were fired
upon on Saturday morning, and fight
was momentarily expected. The re-
ports last Sunday morning of the bat
tie then going on are not authentic.
There are rumors of large force of
rebels west of springfield, and an at
tack is still expected.

To VoLuNrEERs.-We have noticed

To VOLUNTEERs.-We have noticed
for several days past, that strenuous efforts are
being made by officers of regiments outside of this
State, to induce the young men of this county, who
are DESTROYS of enlisting for the support of our
country. to join regiments of other States Already
this county has furnished one full company for an
Illinois regiment, and more is asked for. We
certainly hope that before any of citizens
volunteer into foreign regiments, they will take
into consideration the fact that four more regiments
are called for from Michigan, and unless they can
be filed by volunteers, they must be filled by
drafting. We are well aware that there are more
than enough patriotic young men in this State,
who are anxious to volunteer to fill the entire ten
regiments authorized by the Legislature, but if
the same efforts are being made in other places
that there is in this, to induce volunteers to join
regiments outside of our own State, we should
not be surprised if drafting was resorted to in less
than six months Michigan has made the most
ample provision for the brave soldiers, and in
addition Congress has just performed an act of
justice by Increasing the pay Of prYates to fifteen
dollars month. As the law now stands, every
volunteer from this State will receive SIS per
month, mileage to and from the place of enlistment
and when discharged, the additional sum of 800.
Besides this, BY an act of the Michigan Legislature
the families of volunteers amply provided for,
This, then, should be sufficient inducemept for
those who wish to enlist, to join a home comnanv
and home regiment. so that when they leave home
they may always be among friends After our
State has its ranks filed, then it is time to think
of joining those of others, and not before.

DEAR SIRs Yours of the 18th inst is at hand,
and contents noted, and in reply would say that
the Howe's Scales you put up for me works like a
charm since you were here, and any statement to
the contrary, by the Agent of Fairbanks Scales,
or any party, must have been made from false
impression made by some interested party, or
from disposition on his part to injure the reputa
ton of the Scales, by false statement. At all
events, the whole thing is fabrication, the
Scales, thus far, works to my entire satisfaction,
as well as to the satisfaction of all other parties
who have witnessed their working since you were
here. Ihave the fifty pound weight yet, and would
like to keep it sometime longer. Mr.. Jesse Burr
has not purshased Scales yet, and probably will
not for sometime, on account of the hard times

Messrs. VANDERVOORT, DICKERSON Il CO..


Messrs. VANDERVOORT, DICKERSON & CO.,
GENTLEMEN In answer to your letter of June
17th enclosing a letter to your house from Mr..
NJ. B. Harden, of Abingdon, dated June 14th,
would say that after L left your store | called at
the establishment of Messrs. Fairbanks 4 Green
leaf on or about the 18th of june and inquired of
them the lowest price they would sell me four ton
Scale, and mentioned at the same time that | had
been looking at the HOwe's Scales thought some
thing of purchasing one Of them. Mr.. Greenleaf
then gave me their prices and spoke of Howes
Scales as being very imperfect and poor Scale,
and that there were many of them that would not
work, and mentioned to me that Scale near by
where lived was badly out of order, and would
not work at all. This Scale, he said. at
Abingdon, ILL.,, and had been bought by Mr.. NJ. b.
Harden, and was worth nothing for weighing and
had been abandoned; all of which tended to dis
courage me from purchasing the HOwe's Scale, and
after mentioning this matter to your Agent, Mr..
Hooker and he denied the same, and stated to me
that MIR. Greenleaf not man Of veracity, as
he had detected him very recently in several false
hoods, began to doubt his veracity. Since have
seen the letter from Mr.. NJ B. Harden of Abingdon,
dated June 14th, am inclined to think it was all
said by Greenleaf for the purpose of discouraging
me, and that it was FALSE, as the enclosed letter
of Harden is in contradiction to Greenleafs state
ment to ME, and think this unfair course of CON-
petition ought to be discountenanced, as there is
nothing like fair play and truth in trade. Hoping
this explanation is satisfactory,
| am respectfully yours,
