Caution.

The Lynchburg Virginian cautions the
people of the South against counterfeit
Confederate notes of the denomination
of ten dollars, which have been printed
in Philadelphia, by one S. G. Upham,
and are being scattered broadcast by the
Yankee thieves who are now devastating
Virginia. The following description will
enable the reader to detect the bogus is
sue.
Rs1esls ..A,vss. s,1aastAr
Of an inch or more shorter than the gen
uine. and not quite SO wide. On each
side Of the Indian group is the letter c.
whereas, in the genuine the letter used
is "B. The number of the note is not
filed out. 1t is signed ct. Elicit for
Register" and II. N. Goodloe, for Treas
urer," whilst in the original note the
signature of the latter is II. H. Good
loe."
The yirginian also notices another base
Yankee counterfeit Confederate note,
which came from the Yankee army. 1t
is a five of the issue Of Sept. I'd, 1861
The note is green, though shade differ
ent from the genuine, and the likeness
of Mr.. Memminger is badly executed
1t can be readily distinguished from the
genuine by people who are on the alert.
Financial Condition of the North.
1t appears from Northern accounts that
their banks are beginning to demonstrate
at the call of Secretary Chase upon the
Federal Congress TO issue an additional
batch OF demand treasury notes The
money-dealers are frightened at the enor-
nous amount of the circulating medium
illegally furnished by the Federal Treas
ury for general use, and protest, with
reason, that no more promises to pay
should be put aaoat, until acts providing
a fair revenue system shall be passed.
The fictitious circulation of the North,
without any coin basis, has become SUI
perabundant and there are evident indi
cations thatit will require great straininl
on the part Of the friends Of .he Fedora
treasury to initiate the bubble again.

From the Army Of the wost.


On yesterday evening we had the pleas,
ure of copversing with gentleman di-
rectly from Beauregard's army, and who
has been in u position TO have perfect
Knowledge of all he communicates.
He informs US that the headquarters
Of the army for the present is at Tupalo,
Miss.,--a little village on the Mobile &
Ohio Railroad about Sc miles from Cor
inth-and that arrangements are being
made for protracted stay at that point.
The health of the army is improving
very much, there not being one-thlrd the
sick'a at this new encampnent as we had
at Corinth. The water is better, the To-
cation more healthy, and food and prov
ender much easier to obtain. Notwth-
standing it is retreat, Beauregard's re-
cent move is regarded by the entire ar-
my as equal to victory. u
The same gentleman informs us that
previous to the retreat from Corinth, he
was with a party who penetrated the
Federal lines, and even went into their
hospitals. The sight that there met their
gaze was heart-rending, the men being
afflicted with almost every disease known
to camp life. All around were the sick
and dying. Our loss, while at Corinth,
was very serious, but the loss of the enc
my must have been five times as heavy.
He was told that the smallpox had made
its appearance in some of the brigades.
If Halleck's army suffers so immense
ly this early in the summer, and so high
up as Corinth, certainly his army will
melt away like snow, whom he gets down
into the hot and sultry region of the

FREMONT AND PHELPs.-T The War Department
has Just republished an order issued in June
last, assigning General Fremont to a command
which he thought proper TO decline, as 1t was
beneath his dignity to serve under any other
general. He resigned the command, but not
the pay Of his Major Generalship. The intent
Of the repetition Of the order is to call him to
his duty, and TO announce that designations
cannot be accepted in face Of the enemy.
General Butler Is therefore right in hold
ing Phelps to his military obligations, and
neither giving him leave Of absence nor accept
ing his resignation, nor admitting the validity Of
his silly plea that to obey the orders of his
superior officer to employ negroes in telling
timber, erecting ebatis, and performing other
labor connected with his camp, would be to
become slave driver, and 10 be guilty Of that
sin which abolition fanatics define to be " the
sum of all villanies.n Let Fremont and Phelps
and every abolition officer be held to strict
accountability, and be compelled to do their
duty or abide the result of a court martial
Discipline must be rigdly maintained, other
wise the army viii become utterly dcmoralzcd

A Wet BLANKET on THE REBYIs.--At Fort
Donelson, and in various other battles OF last
winter resulting in the capture of rebel prison
ers, it was discovered that to protect them
selves against the cold the rebel soldiers in the
absence Of blankets and woollens usually worn,
were, to q great extent, supplied with cotton
comforters, cotton overcoats and blankets and
overcoats made from carpets. Now, as the sum-
mer is waning away, and the cold season is
coming on again. the question recurs, how will
the rebel army be clothed for the next winters
campaign, should the war be prolonged into the
winter? They have exhausted the supplies of
woollens and blankets, &c, which they had on
hand at the outset; the blockade has cut them
off from all outside sources Of supply, and their
home factories have never supplied one tenth
part Of their wants. even IN times OF peace
We conclude that the rebel leaders in view of
this important item of the soldiers winter
clothing, which they cannot, from their own re-
sources, supply for another winter campaign,
have been and are devoting all their energies to
the overthrow OF Gen. Mcclellan and the capture
OF Washington before the winter sets in as the
last desperate chance for their Southern con-
fcderacy Let, then, our reinforccments TO Nc
Clellan and Pope be hurried forward. 20 that
in this last desperate effort for existence we
may be able to turn this rebellion out in tho
cold and reduce u TO m immediate surrender.
