MoRE CorSrERFEiTs.-Mr Clayton, of the
Georgia R. R. Bank Agency, Mr.. Duncan, of
the Insurance Office, have both, within a
day or too, detected counterfeits Of IS Con-
federate notes of the late green issue. These
are the most elegant notes that have yet been
issued by the Goyernment--the engraving
excellent. the paper good, the printing supe-
riOr, and the whole admirably set or by the
green ink, with which the medallions and
the engraving on the left hand end OF the
bills are printed.
No one need be deceived BY the counter
felt. LISA bOteh. The yignette- -intended
fer a likeness Of Mr.. Memminger, is very
poor, and instead of being deep black, is
very pale, and the lines very rough; the
words Confederate States Of Americas"
which, in the genuine, are deep black and
very finely executed, are also very pale in
the counterfeit, and miserably executed.
The statue on The right hand end Of the bill
is wretched botch. The green on the bills
is paler Than on the genuine. The three
circles in the engraving on the left hand end
Of the bill have, in the genuine, the words.
/" five in very small letters, several times,
10 two lines in each circle. These words
fire" are not in the counterfeit. Then the
signatures 10 the bill are engraued-not print
ed, aud il is on shabby paper.
Let the people look out for all badly print.
ed bills, or those printed on sorry paper, and
reject them. Always be cautious in reeeiv-
ing any money from stranger.

COUNTERFEIT CONFEDERATE NOTES.
Below we give as good subscription Of the
genuine and counterfeit Treasury notes now
cure: -. - :, IS -

wears a Dlack belt, with the buckle upon il 4
Wy distinct; IN the counterfeit bills the
pel1 y whte anu the buckle not plaialy seen.
~ !, the centre picture the mule attached to I
we cotton press, IN the genuine bill, is less
distinct though larger than in the counterfeit. 81
ana presents bis head to the front; in the !
counterfeit he Exchanges his base . and pre- {
sents side view. On the ground between 4
'ne sailors feet, in the genuine, is broken
stone--a separate one by il; on the counters d
ie't there are three separate stones, the GEN. &
ire one smaller than the others. At the up
per right corner of The genuine notes. the
white ground appears through the shading of
we medallion work; in, the counterfeit the 4
entire work is dark. This will suffice for
the hu ndreds.
In the FIFTY DOLLAR Bills, several white
spots appear just over the figures fifty, in the
medallion work at the upper right corner Of
The genuine bills; there are none In the
counterfeit. The outside of this medallion
work IN the counterfeit, is covered by runs
nins net work; in the genuine there is none.
IN iron! OF, and attached to the chest, in the
centre picture of the genuine note, there is a
pad lock; there is none in the counterfeit.
In the genuine note the head Of the man in
the lower left corner of the bills is nearly
bald, little hair is combed down smoothly
on the right temple; in the counterfeit bills
aiull head Of hair is represented, the hair on
the right temple being slightly disheyelled,
as i blown by puff Of wind
TWENTY DOLLAR BlLLs.--Inlh the counterfeit
bills, the figure 2. on the right side, is cut
by hne line. entirely separating the tail Of
the hgure from the main body Of it; in the
genuine the figure 2 is perfect. In the gen
ulne bills the hat on the head Of the man in
the lower left corner of the note, sits more
upon the top Of the head than 10 the counter
felt; IN the counterfeit the hat seems to be
thrown more towards the back the neck.
II A New Commemorative Augusta Chro-
nlcle says: Another counterfeit Confederate
note was exhibited to US yesterday morning.
II is of the ten dollar issue Of September 2,
1861, printed in colors. The principal dis
tingulshing mark is the filling up Of the red
OblODg in the lower centre Of the note. In
the genuine, the filling up consists Of the
word "ten" in small letters frequently re-
peated-in the counterfeit il is merely dots.
!. The counterfeit has the words ADRIAN
SHARP, &c., on the lower left hand corner,
not on the genuine. The red color Of the
counterfeit is paler than the genuine, the
engraving is coarser, apparently on wood.
while the genuine is well finished steel
plate.

How they fire in Battle:

You wonder whether the regiments
fire regularly or in volleys, or whether
each man loads and fires as fast AZ he
can. That depends upon circumstan-
ces; but usually, except the enemy is
near at hand, the regiments fire only
at the command of their officers. You
hear drop, drop, drop, as few OF the
skirmishers fire, followed by a rattle
and a roll, which sounds like the falling
of building, just as some Of you have
heard the brick walls tumble at great
fire. Sometimes, when a body of the
enemy's cavalry are sweeping down
upon regiment to cut it to pieces. the
men form into square, with the ON
GERS and musicians in the centre. The
front rank stands with bay onet charged
while the second one fires as fast as it
can. Sometimes they form in tour
ranks dcep-the two front ones kneel
ing with bayonet charged, SO that if the
enemy should come upon them they
would run against a picket fence of
bayonets. When they form in this way
the other two ranks load and fire as
fast as they can. Then the roar Is ter.
rife, and many horse and rider goes
down before the terrible storm of bull
lets.
