MORE New COUSTERFEITS-T Will
mington North Carolina) .Iournal con-
tains description Of two new and dan
gerouS counterieits. These counterfeitS
are especially dangerous, from the fact
that spurious issues of one Of them were
made Il Year ago or more, and the dis
crcpancics between the genuine and the
counteriei; then pointed out by the pa
pers. This new spurious issue has cor
rccted all the errors and variations of the
former counterieits of the same date and
denomination. The Journal says:
The first counterfeit is of the denomina-
tion o. 800, interest bearing note, dated
sept. ist 1852, printed by keatinge Il Ball, i,
Columbia, ! &. The second is Hover n
Ludwig so bill, dated Sept "a, 1861
IL thG hundred dollar counterfeit The face
Of Mr.. Calhoun, at the lower left hand cor
ner OF the bin, is very badly executed, espc
ciAiiy the mouth, which looks as if some
thing were held i'll it causing the lips to pro-
tTudc. The Imprint immediately under is in
larger letters than in the genuine, and the b
IN Columbia is detective, whereas il is per
icci III the genuine. In the genuine the line
with Interest at two cents per day" is printed
on the red shade OF the large red word "hun-
counterfeit, or, if at all, too family to be no.
iiced The whole execution of the counter
felt is inferior to that of the genuine, and the
note little smaller. The date of the genu-
inu note is filled in Sept LIST, that Of the
counterfeit Sept'r l.
The f2O Is more difficult to describe and
detect than the slOO and is the most dan
getous counterfeit we have ever seen. We
have counterfeit and i genuine bill before
Us, and save that the counterfeit has been
printed with too much ink, and therefore
looks much blurred, it would be very diff
cult TO distinguish the one from the other:

fable test, IS even the genuine bills are not
plWays uniform III color. The only obvious
difference is, that in the genuine there is q
Nsar space between the tops OF the letters

der the large ship in the centre, whereas In
The counterfeit the heads Of these letters
run quite up TO the waves. In the counter
ltit We have there is plain unshadcd capital

LOCAL MATTERS.

Shooting a Woman. a.-Augustus Simcoe, said
to be detective in this city, was arraigned
before the Mayor yesterday to answer the
charge Lfielonioasly shooting and woundipg
Ella johnson, q woman of lewd character.
who resides at the corner of New street and
Exchange Alley.
When the case was called three of Miss
Johnson's boarders Josephine Hesler, Eliza
Morris, and Josephine Morris-appeared and
were sworn as witnesses for the Common
wealth. From their evidence we gather the
following particulars:
Between the hours of II and II O'Clock
last Monday night, Miss johnson being alb
seat At the moment, the prisoner knocked
al the door OF her house and was admitted by
Miss Josephine Morris. He had been in tii,.
par!or but short time when Miss johnson
returned home. AS soon rs the prisoner saw
her he said "Iet me get out Of this place" +"
ana started for the hall, where he stopped.
Miss johnson told him to leave at once-that
she wanted no such rowdies tbere-aud put
her hand upon his shoulder as if TO hu -ry bis
exit. AS she did SO, prisoner drew back as
II to strike her, seeing which Miss Josephine
got bctw cen the parties Almost Immediate
iy the prisoner drew his pistol and fired at
Miss Johnson, the bah striking her on the
left leg between the. knee and hip, passing
entirely through the flesh and Lodging in the
right leg near the knce-the fire from the
pistol igniting her dress The prisoner then
ran out of the house, down the alley to Main
st. AS he passed out Mr.. James H. Jones
and another gentleman saw and watched him
Watchman Rowe and his partner, OF hearing
the report of the pistol, hastened to the
scene, and learning what had occurred fol
lowed the prisoner to the Confederate House,
where they arrested him, took him back to
Mics Johnsons, had him identified, and then
locked him up.
The Mayor, after hearing the several wit
ncsscs, remanded the accused to an eXamin-
ing court for felony. next Monday, and COM
mittel him to prison.

Mr.. Mason WITHDRAWN FROM ESQ.
ND.-The Sentinel, Of yesterday, has
the following announcement Of the with
drawal of Hon. James NJ Mason, G. S.
Commissioner to England
f., We learn, on inquiry, that the announce
ment in the Yankee papers OF Mr.. Mason's
withdrawal from England is doubtless cor
rect Although Lo official communication
has been received from him, yet We are iD
formed that early in August last the Presi
dent instructed him to withdraw from IL
sion In which his services could no longer
be useful to his country.
From the date at which these instructions
were sent, it is apparent that this action OF
the President must have been based on The
intelligence which reached us about that
date Of the refusal OF the British Govern
mcnt to unite with that Of France in placing
us on footing of equality with our enemies
by acknowledging the independence which
We have SO fully vindicated III the face Of the
world.

GEN BRAGG AND HIS GEHERALs.-Thc
Atlanta Register has the following rela-
tive to the disagreement between Gen.
Bragg and the Generals under him:
The Appeal of yesterday alludes to the fact
that Generals Polk and liindman had arrived
i'll this city under arrest, by order of General
Bragg We were cognizant of the fact but did
not deem it necessary to allude to it. There
can now be no improperly i'll stating that
the cause for this procedure on the part of
Gen. Bragg is said to be an alleged disObc-
dience of orders by the two Generals named,
on Sunday the second day of the battle of
Chickamauga. Such is orr confidence in til 3
soldierly qualities of General Polk that we
believe he will be enabled to justify himself
before a Court of Inquiry; but the fact that
he did not bring on the battle as ordered
three hours earlier than it began, is said to
account for the alleged barrennoss OF the
victory. 1t is, however, believed that Gene
raj Polk could not possibly have done other
wise. This is one issue, and that other more
wcighty one is involved in the disobedience
OF orders. II Sundays fight at Chickamail-
ga had began, IS Bragg ordered, at daylight,
nightfall would not have intervened to save
ROsecrans's beaten army, and he never could
have reached and entrenched himself in
Chattanooga.

PUrrING IT ON Too STRONG EVEN FOR
