Memphis daily appeal. [volume] (Memphis, Tenn.) 1847-1886, 1862-12-15

A bank officer has submitted TO us batch Of
counterfeit Treasury notes which were stopped
yesterday. TkVy were from Kentucky, and, as
it is possible others may find their way out
here, it will be well to call attention to them
All these cOunts,feits are wood engrsvings with
printed signatures and filing.
Any one converssnt with printing viii easily
detect them, and any typo may do the same BY
noticing the iITsgularity Of the script, which
cannot be as well made upos wood as on copper
plate or stone In these bills the words six
months after the ratification of a treaty of
peace, etc, are much heavier, and in more iTeg-
ulsr characters than the genuine. Wherever
there is a doubt, a comparison here viii detect
wood cut countsrfsits to a certainty.
The 800 in this case is & clear open liae en-
craving, lighter and better shaded than the gen
uine Hoyer & Ludwig. All the filing is printed
in, and note that the characters in writing are
larger, bolder and more irregular than the good
bill.
There ale three different kinds of twenties-
two Of HoyeT & Ludwig, to which the same re-
mark offers the most resdy clue to detection A
third in colors resembling the good bill, butnote
that the red ground ia the centre Of the bill is
made up of mere shading, while in the genuine
it is composed Of the word twenty many
times repeated.
So Of the tens-the ground work is mere
shading while that Of the genuine is made up Of
the word " ten " repeated.
The ives, green and black, are too coarse and
badly printed to deceive anybody
We repest that everybody should narrowly
examine all notes rendered to them.-HasoH

4 CASE IN SHORT HASD Under the head
" case in short hand, +" the New York Express
quite as pithily answers the TribHNes pith:
The Tribune is pithily showing the causss Of
the war; and that great cause to be slavery, y
thus sums up:
!. The rebellion has broken out only in the
slave States.
IA mistake Il irsf broke out in Massachu-
setts, which nnlliisd the Constitution Of the
United States and the laws of Congress in So
called personal bills
2 It commeBcsd in South Carolina, the most
intensely pro slavery of them all, and mastered
State after State 10 exact proportion to their in
terest in and devotion to slavery.
Another mistake Il began in Boston in
rescues from United States marshals-in Syrs-
euse, in the Jerry rescue ease-in Milwaukee,
Wisconsin, in the Booth case
The real fact is that fer ten years Massachu-
Setts has not been fairly in or under the Consti
tuition of the United Stsses-ayer ever since
The organisation Of the government-from tn.
days Of the Shay's rebellion, on the Hartford
convention, Massachusetts, has been more or
less in opposition to the Constitution and the
laws of the United States. We have had three

STRENGTH OF THE EKEMY's RsGIMEEFs -
The Richmond Enquirer, of q late date, says:
A gentleman who had the opportunity made
observations which enabled him TO make a neal
spnroximation 10 the strength of Summers army
corps when it maSched for Fredericksburg. He
counted the men In many Of the regiments Al
they marched past. The regiments of new
troops were very full but the old regiments
we're so thin, that an average strength Of foul
hundredto q regiment, is an allowance rather in
excess of fact, Summers corps comprised thirty
regiments, which pats bis strength at twelve
thousand men. he had large supply of artil
lery.
Our informant noticed that one of the new
regiments--armed with guns that hsd not los
| the first freshness of the vaTnish-was fOlloweC
/ BIZ a guard with fixed bayonets, and the regular
wsre placed in the rear of the column. It wa
| understood that these sprecsutions were neces
| sary TO preVent deEerti0n.
