A"S Icce"tiy csIaoisneu nlInScn In the city OF
Columbia, AS an Engraver and Printer of Bank
Notes. The following extract we publish with
pleasure, from the Carolinian of a late date:
awe have taken walk through COL Dun
cans engraving establishment, and find it one
of the most complete that could be conceived
of. In fact we arc assured that in capacity
and facilities for transacting business, it is only
surpassed by Lemcrcicr's in Paris. 1t is graf
flying to know that it will be permanently To-
Gated here, such an establishment must ne
ccssa:ily add to the prosperity of city. Col.
Duncan was the first man in Kentucky, though
Chairman of the Bell and Everett State Com
mittec, to make secession speech after the
| election of Lincoln, and was the first man,
also, to lead regiment to Virginia-ten days
after the fall of Sumter. For his defence Of
South Carolina, against the singing, snecring
assaults of the blackguard, Geo. d. Prentice,
of the Louisville Journal, he should be warmly
welcomed as citizen of this State, who has
preferred principle to disgraceful safety and
wealth in his former home.
The establishment which, contending against
every obstacle, he has finally succeeded in fix
ing upon firm foundation, consists of twenty
four presses at present Eight additional prin-
tcrs arrived upon the Herald, who were sent
for in May to Liverpool, and six others will
shortly arrive from Paris, when the number of
presses at work will be thirty-eight. The en-
gravers and other persons connected with the
establishment have been selected from the best
shops of the Old World, regardless Of expense,
and the character and style of the ,Isrk to be
done will give satisfaction to the most cxacting.
AS our signal victory near Richmond will prob
ably lead, before many months, to a restoration
Of peace, every preparation is now being made
by Col. Duncan to procure all the necessary
supplies and materials to meet the demand
which may then arise from the various States,
banks, corporations, &c, upon the resumption
of business in its old channels. With the
whole force working, 100000 notes dolly, could
be struck off, so that prompt execution of or
ders will necessarily follow.
Heretofore, nothing has been done by him
except for the Government, and their wants
will, of course, be first supplied. When peace
dispenses with that necessity, the entire South
can be attended to here.
SECESSION IN MARYLAND.-AB Baltimore cor
respondent of the New York Post, under date
of the Goth ult., says:
l am sorry to announce that the situation
of things here is not comfortable. The fact
is undeniable, that the Legislature of the State,
largely Union, according to the meaning of the
word, when elected, sympathizes so deeply with
secession as to make it dangerous to the pub
ic safety to be convened. The second branch
of the City Council has finally rejected the Or
dinance Of the first branch 100000 to help re-
cruiting volunteers for Maryland's quota, not
withstanding the law gives them full power
to borrow money and appropriate it for the
purpose of defence. The true Union men are
becoming very intolerant of the patience shown
by the Government TO the rebels, and there is
no telling whittier they will drift. And to add
to the confusion, the proslavery Unionists
are making war upon the anti-slavery Union
lists.
PENALTY FOR PASSING COUNTERFEIT Con-
FEDERATE NoTEs.-The Penalty for passing
counterfeit Confederate notes is death. An
act of the last session of the Provisional Con-
gress provides this punishment for this crime
during the existence Of the present war between
the Confederate and the United States, and
