that ian interest the very large number of
readers of the Weekly Leader.
Notwithstanding the war monopolizing
necessarily so large q share of our columns,
we intend to devote liOeral space to the
details of other news of the day, and also
not omit the literary and miscellaneous
matter which has always made the LEADER
a pleasant companion in the family circle.
The LEADER will increasingly advocate the
right and The duty of the Government to
protect and defend ITSELF and to employ un-
limited means for the accomplishment of that
end. 1t viii, as it ever has done, wage de-
termined war upon whatever is opposed to
the principle of civil and Religious Liberty.
The PrOprietors of the LEADER have made
definite arrangements for the year 1852, by

TIC Nntlonnl Hymn RooI..

Il will be remembered Tat a reward OF
$500 was offered last summer for the prize
National Hymn or Anthem. In response 70
tho proposal, an immense number OF hymns
and songs were sent the Committee, some
very good and some very poor The Oom-
mittee decided that none OF them were enti-
uea 10 ths prize. and so ended their labors
Rut one of The Committee Mr.. Richard Grant
White. has published a part Of them in a
volume, giving specimens Of the good and the
bad. In the book he gives the usual manner
Of conducting the investigations and ex-
amining the offerings by the Committee,
which will be Of interest to those in this re-
gion who contributed to the "rSeCted ad'
dresses"
The Committee usually met at Mr.. Whites
house, where the venerable Gulian O. Yer
planck, 80 well and favorably known in al
literary circles ut home and abroad, sat a
father Of the Committee. When all wer
ready, the manuscripts containing word

aside for separate consideration. The verse

vote, they were cast into awaste basket read

The music was winnowed separately at

of excellence, if not of nationality, and the
were laid aside, pending the proposal to MAJ

EemarkaBIe COunrerfsit on the Shoe and
Leather Bank


One of the most extraordinary enterprises
ever recorded In the history of c9unterfeiting
has, within the last two or three days, been
brought to light. Bills-to an, as yet, un-
ascertained RmOunt-ars in circulation, forg-
ed on the Shoe and Leather Bank of this city,
one of the Weathiest and most relis3le of ali
our metropolitan financial institutions. The
bank itself will sustain no material injury in
the affair il is true; but the skiIlful way in
which its officers have been deceived, in the
matter of their own paper issue, proves that
it has had q narrow escape. The spurious
issue is in 500 bills, and it is said that quite
a number of them are known to have been
thrown upon the market. Several City
banks have taken them, and unless able to
trace them to customers, will stand in for a
considerable loss
The circulation Of these counterfeits was
commenced ont West and the first intima-
ton of their existence was divulged to the
bank on which they are forged by one of the
detective police. The CONSERVATION created
by such a revelation can be better imagined
than described. The bank had taken quaint
tity of them in the usual course of exchange
at the Clearing. house, and the officers, even
after receiving the detectives information,
could scarcely bring themselves to believe
that the counterfeit was not genuine.
A close and critical examination of the
counterfsits by the engravers of the American
Bank-Note Company actually failed to detect
any evidence of the forgery, until they had
been serutinized under the microscope, when
tao or three triRing mistakes were discover
ed. The vigneite Of the bill Is g mounted
Indian lassoing buffalo, and in the genuine
the hand OF the Indian touches the shading
Of The letter Z, in the word bank, whilst on
the counterfeit there is 10 the naked eyes,
an almost impercsptible space between. In
the counterfeiT too, the red tint is dimmed
by the artificial process used to give the bills
an appearance of having been used, and the
leaves on the ornaments around the Bank De-
partment die are the least bit in the world
out Of shape, and unfinished as to detail.
The counterfeit is an unprecedentedly dan
gerous one, and many unfortunate people
viii have to sufer-particularly business
men IN Chicago, Cincinnati, Cleveland, Mil
waukee and other Western cities. The Shoe
and Leather Bank has not taken any of them
over the counter, and has returned nearly all
that came to It through the Clearing house.
Il has only about fifteen Of them Isl, 500

STATE FA1E.-IU is IszHernIly ulde=stOod
that the Annual Meetings of the State Agri-
cultural Convention have heretOfore been held
on the Wednesday after the first Monday in
December, but the last Legislature changed
the time of meeting to the Wednesday after
the first Monday in January. All interested
will govern themselves accordingly. The
location of the State Fair for 1852 viii, in all
probability, be determined by tbs Board at
the annual nesting it would, therefore, be
web for the cities that wish to enjoy the BEN
efts of the Fair to be prepared to present
their claims at said meeting, together with
bond, and tender of free use Of the requisite
grounds.

CAMP NEAR CRAB ORCHARD
Kentucky, Nov. 18th, 1851.

After march OF almost unparalleled Sc

were issued to that effect proclaining their
intention to return home. Our march has

The Commercial comments upon this as
follows:
The news that the Cumberland Gsp expe-
dition has made an absurd and ruinous re-
treat, is enough to sicken the whole country.
/ There has been an alarm both false and
foolish, and most abominable stampede.

to advance, and East Tennessee vas con-
verted into trap for Zollicofer's s-ry, oul
