AS many persons have mistaken ideas
about the value of mutlated treasury notes,
we publish the following regulations Of the
Department, which it would be well for al
who handle the greenbacks to peruse care
fully:
1. Fragments OF note will not be re.
deemed unless it shall be clearly evident
that they constitute one.half or more OF the
original note in which case, however nut
lated, they will be redeemed in proper.
ion to tho whole note, reckoning by
fifths.
g. Mutilation less than one tenth will be-
disregarGed, unless fraudulent but any mu
tilation which destroys more than one-tenth
of the original note, will reduce the redemp.
ton value + the note by one-ifth of the
face value.
g. Mutlated notes presented for redemp.
ton must be in sums OF not less than three
dollars Of the original face value.

The banded organizations Of dislo, alists
N Illinois have begun their work. Yester-
day, body of them, armed with pistols, at
Anna, on the Illinois Central Raj road, res.
cued two deserters from the castody Of an
officer who had them in charge. They over
powered the officer and disarmed him,
threatening to hang him, and showing ropes
they had brought along for that purpose
Events like this, together with the recent
developments at Reading, Pa, leave no
doubt that secrct trsitorous organization.
of vast proportions, exists in the Northern
States having for its object forcible resis.
lance of the Conscription Act, and of the ar
rest of deserving soldiers.
The organization possesses its greatest
vigor and influence in those districts where
the largest "Demo cratic" votes are aecus-
toned to be polled. Arms and ammun-
ton have been collected, and the organize
ton is now prepared to begin actual hostil-
it les.
The conspiracy is not confined to Illinois
snd Indiana. It extends to Otio, Penn.
sylvania and New York, and appears to be
under one controlling head, which, we half
suspect, resides at New York City, and is.
sues the orders by which ths whole machin
cry is moved. 1t possesses community
Of objects and interests, and one of it's prin.
riples, as developed by the trial of the Read
ing conspirators, is that the whole power
OF the organization shall DO used for tn pro
lection and rescue OF those Of its members
who may be arrested.
il is said that the League embraces mil
Hos of members Whether this be true or
got, It certainly is very formidable, and de-
serves the serious attention ofthe Govern
ment. 1t should be met at ones, and with
armed force
1t will be mistake for the Government
to daily and te,nporize with it, until, EN-.
boldened by fancied impunity. and strength
ened and consolidated by continued prcpar-
stisn and discipline. it will be abls to seize
cities, rob banks aud treasures. capture ar
senals and forts. destroy railroads and
bridges. and spread confusion and disorder
throughout the lani.
The history Of the Southern rebellion
teaches Us the folly and the peril of permit
ftsg armed insurrecton to acquire dignity
pnd boldness by neglect to crush it. Let
not the Government .riae with this formid-
Able disloyal organization at the North un.
Iii it shall demand huge armies for its re-
duction. 1t must be met, attacked and d is
persed at once, else it will cause nfinite
mischief and produce intsrpinable disorder.
