Memphis daily appeal. [volume] (Memphis, Tenn.) 1847-1886, 1862-10-22

+ From the Richmond Enquirer
The Yankees axe TIE most shameless of people
They 90 not condescend 10 cover their knaVeIy
with disguise-a tribute which depravily sell
I dom fails 80 pay to virlus.
C0uutsFieiting and forgery rank among tie
basest Of crimes. Those who practice them
/ seek some dark spot for the execution Of their
villsiny, and use the utmost caution to avoid
/ detection snd Identification. Not so in Yankee
land. We have heretofore copied adyartise-
ments showing that cur pursuing brethren
10 not hide their light under bushel The fol-
( loving we find in u ie.e copy Of the Philsdolphis
Inquirer:

s. G Uphsm thus advsrtises himself knavs,
and il pvOb35ly proud to be one.
It will, Of course be said that the ffscs of his
eouHtarfeidng IS to injure the enemy, and that
IL is, therefore, allowable. To this il msy be
answered that the operations of war are carried
on By enlisted soldiers If counterfsitiag is TO
be approved IS one Of tbs appliances of war, il
Ought 10 be carried on By the waT-rnAkins power,
snd By is regularly commissioned officers. The
very YiTtuOus &r. 5 c. Uyham, 403 Cheatnas
street, IS, however, doubtless making au honest
penny On his iudi 5i3ual account. So far IS he
slcs5eis, b3 is as much thief as il ho were 70
steal she silver or ro6 the hen roost Of some
housekeeper in the Confederate States, on the
plea of irjOring the enemy.

Mr.. Q Upham, 403 Chestnut street honor5
with his attentions. He seems to be a very sn-
terprising gen.leman His lhieveries are or an
extensive SCALE No less than thirty-fvs differ
elt notes, ~ hiCl appear in the currency Of this
republic, are forged and counteFfeitsd By this
man 1t must be a most noble governments
which Stimulates such virtuOUs enterprise on the
part Of its citizens. L mrs. surely be 'the best
government In the woTldl' In tha blaze Of day,
aad ia the public newspapers, S. c Uphan, 403
Chestnut street, announces that he has made
lsTZe arrangements, with liberal terms to egenss,
30 obtain by deceit and lies the means and goods
Of the people Of the S,uta. The government,
at least, looks on qQiescent, while hs makes "sn
honest ljviugf'
Some questions ara best settled By an appeal
TO the Consciousness. Does any one know a
izsn Of the Confederate States, outside of the
list OF convicts and professional criminals, who
would Ell tsrt an for moment the idea Of coun-
teTteiing the notes of the NOrthl Does any
one know q Confederate citizen not willing 10
be considered disgraced who would be con-
CbiH5u n any way Wttn bitclT QlStIlQuLloui OJea
any one know Confederate newspaper which
would not reject such an advertisement IS that
of S. c. Upham with disgust snd contempt
Does any one know a Confederate who, if be
could ba guilty OF Upham's crime, would not
shrink from Upham's publication of it, IS
sheep-stealer sbnnks from the proclamation of
his guilt Does any one believe that, if such
man, so scting, could be found, public opinion
here would not scourge him for his crimel
JUuius says that people may sometimes be
wrong in their opinions, but they will always
be right in their sentiments. We are sure that
the unanimous sentiment Of our people sxclsins
against such an act as Upham is proud Of, and
considered is IS not incluied in honorable war
fare. And they hold it as not only crime, but
Ona Of the mesnest sGd most snesking sort It
IS related to ordinary robbery and stealing, as
poisoning is relStad to murder by open assault
The people, among whom such vice can be
prtctised, are not people with whom we could
tolerate association. Such conduct but deepens
the ditch which separates and increases the dis
gust which rFpels rs.
