E Many persons do n5t know the
counterfeit fify cent postal currency frou
the genuine. There are marks on the spu
rious that if observed Will at once show the
counterfeit. On the counterfeit the final ''E, -
in the words "united States Postage" over
the'head of Washington, is dropped, and the
letter "S," IN the word /" Treasurers," ex-
tends higher up than the others letters. An
other test is that in the spurious, the "y," in
theword Depository" does not touch the
border on the back Of the note.

Ia shot-a few miles back on the road
These guns became separated from the
maid body of the rebel army yesterday, in
the retreat and We're cut off by our adj
vance.
The loss in to days fighting is not heavy
on our side. The rebel killed and wound
ed is unknown. Their troops did not fight
obsti nately to day as yesterday, and SEEM
ed to expect defeat on this side of the river.
The wonder is they were not wholly with
drawn to the other side without an engage
ment. The rebel Gen. Tilghmun was kill
led this morning. Gen. Osterhaus was
slightly wounded, but rode on the field
again in a carriage.

BRAVERY OF EAST !TENNEssEEANs.-
We detest, above all other things, the name
of a refugee, especially an able bodied one.
And yet the city is full of refugees under
80 years OF age, who belong to Middle Ten
nessee. They growl more about the way
the war is conducted, against the Govern
ment, and use the bitterest of sentences in
denouncing the rebels, who they hate worse
than poison-dat they neuer propose to fght
them; On the contrary, we have yet to see
one dozen East Tennesseeans, who are relu.
gees, without muskets in their hands. Nos
the most down-trodden of all our people
are citizens of East Tennessee. The Louis
vile cars seldom arrive without bringing
as passengers several East Tennessee refu-
gees. But they invariably ask for the Col
onel of some regiment from that section OF
the State, and the next day we find T, them EN-
admire We would scorn to be a refugee
under any consideration. Our advice to
those gentlemen Of Middle Tennessee is,
fight moreor talk less! Follow the exam
ME of these gentlemen from East Tennes-
see-Fight. -Ndshvilte Press,

severity by the insurgents, and the secrecy
Of those who know their movements, or
have any knowledge of their movements, is
put to the severest test.
A detachment, numbering about $50 in
surgents, was overtaken in the vicinity of
konin, but, not wishing to give battle, the
former retreated.
In order to render it impossible for the
Russians to trace them, they followed a
tortuous route, and having met q Jewish
tter-carrier, they made him swear by the
len Commandments that he would not di-
vulge in what direction they had proceed
cd, and then allowed him to pass on unmo-
Tested.
but afterward, mistrustingtheJ Jews good
!alth, two men of the detachment, dressed
IN Cossack uniforms, rode hastily after him
10 put it to the test. They overlook the
Jew IN neighboring village and asked
mn nm II ne had met with any Insurgents on
TOOK him to public house. and offered him
ivo silver rubles if he would tell them where
tne insurgents were encamped, but the Jew
again declared his ignorance in the most
positive terms.
|, Inc landlord, however, Pole by birth,
having overheard the conversation, and be-
ing unable to Withstand the temptation,
offered to lead the supposed Cossacks to the
| camp of the insurgents. On the arrival of
the party there the landlord was hanged by
order OF the lnsurgent leader, and 100 rn-
bles were given to the Jewish ietter-carrier
as q reward for his honesty and secrecy.
| WARSAW, May 6.-Affairs in this CITY are
daily assuming a more critical character.
The Marquis Wielopolski appears to have
lost health and energy. The purely mill
| tary rule recently introduced has thrown
the Marquis completely in the background
and no doubt is entertained here that the
Imperial Government at st. Petersburg
will also set him aside, after having avail.
ed itself to the utmost Of his services.
In the presence of the Russian Army ,anG
the rapid extension Of the iusurrectionary
movement in Poland and Lithuania, tn,
so-called "Weissen" conservative party
is steadily dying out. That which all thu
revolutionary propaganda and the increas
ing exertions of the clergy, together will
30 years of unparalleled oppression, have
failed to bring to maturity, cannot but b.
brought to a climax by the monstrous sys
tenn of oppression now pursued.
The taxes, at the rate of from 2 to 10 pei
cent on yearly incomes, are duly collected
in accordance with orders issued by thu
Select Revolutionary Committee. On the
other hand, a strict watch is kept to pre-
vent any Infringement Of the revolutionary
order prohibiting the payment of taxes t.
the Government.

HUTCHINs PLAYED OUT.-Hutchins'
name has disappeared from it's place in the
Herald. In it's stead there stands the words:
sd. A. Mahony, Editor"
When Mahony arrived from New York.
the first thing he did was to disavow any
responsibility for editorials which had APP
peared during his absence, and the next
morning his own name appeared alone at
the head of the columns, while Hutchins
was nowhere.
Mahony is by far the most talented edi-
tor, but Hutchins is the most honest and
the most indiscreet. He was sort of Cop
perhead thermometer, by which one could
always tell at how great a heat the blood of
the rebel sympathizers in this section stood
when the rebels were beaten or victorious,
or when the Administration came down
upon northern treason. He was always
for war-always trying to incite the Herald
readers to arm themselves and resist the
Government. He wanted to be O martyr
like Mahony, and was bitterly disappoint-
ed to find, that although he wrote meaner
and holder treason than Mahony ever did,
the Government pursued the even tenor Of
its way, and paid no more attention to him
than If he did not live.
Good bye, Hutchins, Dubuque Times,

VERY LATEST BY THE CHINA.-CRACow,
May 5. lS63.-Numbers of persons OF all
ages, well armed and equipped, daily pro-
coed to the Polish frontier to join the revo-
lutionists.
All Polish subjects on this, as well as on
the other side of the frontier, speak openly
of the events which are occurring in Po-
land, and express the greatest confidence
in the ultimate success of the movement.
Sacrifices are made by all classes and
creeds for the great canse, of which history
furnishes us but few examples.
The Jews in the Kingdom deserve par
ticular mention for the part they have TAX
en- in the insurrectiOn. Not only have
they brought into the field very respecta-
bic contingent, but it is stated on trustwor-
thy information, that in money also they
have contributed at least one-third of the
expenses incurred by the insurgents.
The only son of avery wealthy Jew
ish clothier in Kalish, having been recent
ly coIled upon by the Secret Committee to
ed to the place by his parents. This young
man had previously contributed 1900 ru-
bles toward the national fund.
Adherents to the cause are recruited I'M
der the very eyes of the minions of Russian
despotism, and even Prussian subjects,
whether residing permanently or temper
arily in Poland, are urged to take part IN
the r9yOluUlOu. ~ Is utG tahcH
amiss, but if the person asked signs dec
claration consenting to join the insurgents,
letter carefully registered is forwarded to
him by post, calling upon him to fulfill his
engagement.
Several German tradesmen from Ostrowo,
who were few weeks ago in kalisch, eX-
pressed sympathy for the Poles. Upon be-
ing asked whether, if called upon, they
would be prepared to support the cause,
not considering that the question was put
seriously, they replied in the affirmative
and signed a declaration accordingly
They had probably forgotten the circum-
stance when, about fortnight ago, they
received by post summons to report
themselves at Peisetu within three days,
there to be enlisted into the insurgent
ranks. AS they did not obey this summons,
thew received a communication from War
saw, informing them that they were con-
stamped with a device consisting of q
DEATH head and a coil of rope.
Espionage is punished with unparalleled
