Counterfeit Confederate Notes.

We learn that the recent discovery that the Con-
federae bills had been largely counerfeited by the
Yankees, and the announcement by the Secretary
of the Treasury that more bills of the denomina
ton of 2Os, SOS and zoos would be issued from
the plates dated September I'd, 1861, and that he
should call in all the old ISSUE have caused many
persons to refuse TO receive those bills. This is
wrong 1t is an easy matter to detect the counter
feits. We gave good description Of them in our
last weekly. Let the genuine notes be circulated
as freely as before, and not withdrawn, except in
the ordinary course of trade, until the new issue
supplies their place. Confidence in Confederate
money is an important item in our success in car
rying on this war, and nothing should be done to
affect that confidence injuriously. To assist our
readers in detecting counterfeit Confederate notes.
we give description of them from the Richmond
Enquirer, slightly different from the one which ap-
peared in the semi-weekly Standard of Aug 9th: {:
ain the BILLS the sailor the lower
left corner of the genuine notes black bet with
the buckle upon it very disnc in the counterfeit bills
the belt is white and the buckle not plainly In the
picture the mule attached to the cotton press
the genuine b is less distinct though larger than in the
Counterfeit and presents his head to the front; the
counterfeit he changes his base and presents a side
view. On the ground between the sailors feet in the gen.
uine, is broken sone-a separate one by it; in the
terfeit there three separate stones the centre
smaller than the Others At the upper right of the
genuine notes. the white ground appears through the sha
ding of the medallion work in the counterfeit the entire
work is dark This will suffice for the hundreds.
In the DOLLAR BILLS, several white spots appear
just the figures y in the medallion work at the up
per right of the genuine bills there in the
counterfeit The outside of this medallion work in the
counterfeit is covered by running network in the gen.
uine there is In front Of and attached to the chest
in the centre picture of the genuine noe there is pad
lock- there is in the counterfeit In the genuine
note the head of the in the lower left Of the
bills nearly bald little hair is combed down smoothly
the right tempe in the counterfeit bills full head Of
hair is represented, the hair the right temple being
slightly dishevelled, as il blown by puff Of wind.
TWENTY DOLLAR BILLs-In the counterfeit bills, the
figure 2, the right side, is cut by fine line, entirely
separating the tail of the figure from the main body Of
in the genuine the figure perfect. In the genuine bills
the hat the head Of the in the lower left of
the note sits upon the top of the head than in the
counterfeit in the counterfeit the hat to be thrown
more towards the back of the neck"

Our Eastern couu,,es.


The Counties Of Ourrituck, Camden, Pasquotank,
Perquimans, Chowan, Gates, Washington, Tyrrell,
Beaufort, Hyde, Craven and Carteret, embracing
the finest corn country in the South, and containing
one-fth OF the negro population of the State have
been for months completely at the mercy of the
emy. Besides these, he has made occasional raids
upon Hertford, Bertie, Martin, Pitt Lenoir, Jones
and 0nslow counties, nearly equal in productive
ness, and with large negro population. 1t is es-
timated that the enemy has had in his possession
at Beaufort Newbern, Washington and Roanoke
Island from 10 to 90 900 negroes, mostly men, from
those Counties who in any event, are almosta dead
loss to their owners.
1t seems now to be generally believed, that sys-
tematic plan of stealing negroes has been inaugura
ted by Yankees not connected with the army, and
that steamers are employed in running regularly
from Norfolk and other points, to Cuba and South
America, carrying cargoes of negroes thither for
SALE The government should investigate this mat
ter, and if found out to be true, the most summary
measures should be adopted to put stop to it.
Professions of kind treatment from the Yankees
to the non-combatant people Of that region, have
unfortunately had the effect to lull the unsuspectng

removing their movable means, have led many ofour
best citizens to remain for the protection of their
property. Many, no doubt have concluded to re-
main, relying upon the ability and purpose of the
government to rid them of the detestable Yankees.
AS yet the government has manifested no such pur-
pose. Whether our own troops which have been quar-
tered near them have afforded them much protection,
is very questionable Indeed, it is said, our own
forces have contributed good deal towards the
wasting of the substance of our people in some Sec
been much more worsted, even by the Yankees
themselves.
We believe that the troops Of our State, which
can we'll be spared at this time if placed under the
control of competent fighting officers, are amply
sufficient to rid ar our Eastern Counties of the ene-
my in few weeks, at least so far as to enable our
people there to effect their escape with their
ble property from that section. If this be not done
by the first of December, fear it will be too late
until the end of the war to relieve them. We Judge
of the future by the past Will not the government
do something for our suffering people2 Humanity
and Justice alike demand il.
Since writing the above, we have been highly
gratified to learn that the government at Richmond
is not unmndful of the suffering condition of our
people in Eastern Virginia and North Carolina
Our Eastern people may be assured that the day of
their deliverance draws nigh. Let them stand firm
to their principles and to the Confederacy. We
not at liberty to say more.

Further about Conscripts.

We clip the following from the Richmond Enqui-

WHERE is JUSTICE?


Mr. HOLDEN: i beg you will do me the favor to
publish the following statement of facts:
Some time ago, Lieut. S. A. Hinton published,
in two instances WIN. GArTIs IN the Standard, as
q deserter from Company Fl, 47th N c. Regiment
obtained release from him soon after the company
went into camp, !, Of course, paid attention to
Lieut. Hintons advertisement, believing that he was
we'll aware Of the facts, and doubling whether l
could be meant Subsequent events show that 1t
Hinton designed the publication for me, and fear,
was at least Indifferent to the personal injustice and
injury done me by his publication. For in short
time after his second publication was arrested by
q civil officer in this County, claiming to have an
order for my arrest; he imprisoned and carried me
to the 47th Regiment at Drury's Bluff Col. Rogers
was absent on account of sickness, but so soon as
1t Col. Farribault, commanding the Regiment, saw
my papers, and ascertained the facts he magnani-
mously and properly released me- remarking that
he did not know what they could have carried
there for, with the evidence before them that was
not deserter.
have, therefore, been unjustly published twice
as deserter by Lieut.. Hinton, ruthessly torn from
my needy family, put in prison, carried ID the reg
nert and released without dollar to pay nv way
back home. Some friends were kind enough to
loan me the money to enable me to return to my
family, which my poverty and bad health renders
me poorly able to pay.
thought before that this was free country
that the Constitution and the laws promised, at
least to show Justice to poor man and that there
was some redress for the injured, innocent man.
Will any friend to humanity tell me phere Justice
is to be had and when?
