The run of counterfeits seems to be upon

some forgeries of U. S. Treasury notes, thus
described

great care is exercised, that the altered bills

The New York Tribune makes, half Jest
lngly, the following startling announcement
Richmond papers say that the long
threatened law Of retaliation IS to be immedi-
ately enforced; that for two officers recent
" murdered officially in Ohio, two Union
officers Of equal rank now in the rebel hands
are to be similarly killed. They further say
that official notice has been given that, here
after, for every rebel dealt with in any man
ner that JEFF. Davis may choose 10 think i'm
proper, immediate vengeance will be inflicted
upon some Union prisoners. Ifthese threats
are actually carried cut, there won't be many
rebel prisoners taken after the Union sol
diers learn the fact. Somebody will get
hurt"
If the threats contained in the above par
agraph were to be executed, the war, which
has already exhibited some of the werst fea
lures of barbariSm, would soon degenerate
into the most shocking brutalities, which
would disgrace US as a nation, and place
us on an equality with the New Zealand
savages.

TEE DITFERENCE.-About . score 0t Dem
ocratic newspapers have been destroyed, du-
ring the last two years by Abolition mobs-
but not single man has been arrested for
committing these outrages upon the liberty
Of the press-these violations of law and or
der.
During all this time but one Republican,
or Abolition, paper-the Dayton Journal
has been thus destroyed-and for this one
offence more than sixty persons have been
arrested and bound in heavy bonds to keep
the peace, and will no doubt be tried, conyic-
ted and punished as the law directs
What impartality Would it not be well
for somebody to remember that there
is point beyond which "forbearance ceases

lican Association" of New YorE city, the
speakers were WENDELL PHILLIPS. HORACE
GREELEY and WIN. LLOYD GARRISON, each
of whom, the accounts say, were received
with tremendous applause" 1t is one Of
che most alarming signs of the times, that
these three men, who only two years ago
were not acknowledged as leaders by large
portion of the Republicans, have become
their accepted most popular ones now
WENDELL PHILLIPS boasted at the corg-
mencement of the war that he had been a
disunionist for twenty years. HORACE
GREELEY is the editor who said that if the
South wished to secede he would help them

at its head the atrocious sentiment that our
noble Constitution, made by WASHINGTON,
MADISON, HAMILTON and their patriot com.

Gentlemen who arrived tonight on the
Rappahannock say that large Columns of the
enemy, in motion, were traced yesterday, by
the lines Of dust in the rear of their river
front, while one considerable body was NOV
ing southwark. The preponderance of the
masses appeared to be going in the direction
of Kely's Ford and Culpepper.
The rebel infantry guard at Banks and
United States Fords has been considerably
increased within the past day or two, which
is construed in some quarters a ruse to
cover the movement of raid by Stuart's
cavalry, via Culpepper and Rappahannock
Station.
Governor Blair, of Michigan, paid a visit
TO General Hooker yesterday, accompanied
by several ladies'. They were courteousy
and warmly received by the general, and
lett with favorable impressions of his ability
to defeat the rebels when the opportunity
shall arrive.
1t is believed the enemy are preparing to
demonstrate somewhere on our line.
The movement on the side Of the rebels
may be only ruse TO draw attention from
some other point.
From what can be learned Gen Lee is
evidently contemplating a movement but
as to what point can only be matter Of
conjecture. He continues to "show OFF,
