Tall Specimens Of Lying.

1t will be remembered that the United
States Navy. in December, 1862, captured
certain rebel dispatches on their way to Lon
don and Paris. These dispatches abounded
with the most abominable pack Of lies ever
uttered, and were intended to be used by
upon the British and French Cabinets We
submit the figures of Benjamin to Mason, as
faIsehoods without parallel in even the
living of the Contederacy:
McClelIan's loss on the peninsula. 100, 900;
Popes army in the battles of Cedar Run
and Manassas. 10000: Fremonts Banks and
McDowcl's in the battle in the Valley 30
900; iiaIlcck' 5 army in the West ut Pitts

ing battles, 17,500-in all, $4,000.
To give the reader an idea of the unblush-
ing character Of this lying, we Will only state
one case. The Federal loss at Cumberland
Gap was 5000. There We're only two Skin
mishcs there in the first. th,rc We're less
than 1000 on either side engaged, and the
rebels lost twelve or titteen-the FedcralS
none. In the second, a portion of tao Fed
cral regiments were engaged. killing taIt
dozen rebels, who pretended to be under a
flag of truce The Federals lost none The
reader can Judge of the other estimates by
the facts in this case of Cumberland Gap.

The New Postage Currency.

The following account of the arrange
mcnts for the issue of the new Postage Cur
rency. appears in 1Hompson's Bank Vote

be uniform, and better paper is to be used.
We have 80 cents Of it, and find it all it is
here represented to be. This currency. to-
gether with the large class Of bills called
..greenbaclls is the best paper money in the
world as it is based upon the faith and
credit of the best Government in the world ::
The public Is not generally aware that the Treas
urv Department Is making extensive preparation not
only for the engraving and printing Of the Is
sues 81 Postal Currency and Treasury Notes, but
that the ink and paper will also be manufactured in
the Treasury Building at ashingtnn. The Postal
Currency is already printed, and will be issued
soon n there demand for 1t by the withdrawal Of

greatest safeguard against cOuntereitIng in all the

printed. This will be made a secret process in the
Treasury Department under the immediate superin-
tendence of the inventor. The paper in question is

Ancient Hebrew Manuscripts.

The Russian Government has just pur-
chased a collection Of Caraite writings
The Caraites, as is well known are jew
i>h sect, who reject the Talmud and the
traditions of the Rabbins, and adhere ex-
clusivcly to the letter of Holy Scripture
Two brothers named Firkowick-
have succeeded in making this collection
They have been more than thirty years
employed upon it, and it is said that some
of these writings bear date before the birth
of Christ. During his residence in Con
stantinople in 1880, Abraham Firkowick
procured several Hebrew Goddess. and from
that time he conceived the hope of obtain
inc other still more ancient. He submitted
to all sorts OF privations in order to attain
his end. His very life was often in danger.
He traversed the Crimea and the Caucasus
in every direction. He lived entire months
in cemctarics to study and copy ancient
manuscripts. He penetrated into syna-
gogues, and the places where the Jews COZ
cealed their books in time of persecution
In this manner he collected Ia Hebrew
copies of the Old Testament, more ancient
than any which can be found in all Europe
an libraries There are % manuscripts
written before the ninth century, and 20
before the tenth. In short, these writing,
contain - manuscripts in scrolls on the
Pentatcuch, - copies of the Old Testament,
% transations into Oriental languages, 2I2
Caraite works. 523 Rabbinical works, $50
historical letters or documents, I'D tumular
inscriptions and 800 plans Of ancisnt fort
resSeS in New Russia According TO the
opinion of Messrs. Tischendorf Dorm, Beck
err. and Others no European library con-
tains Hebrew manuscripts of so ancient
date Consequently they will supply valu-
able materials for the complete study of the
Old Testament and also for the photography
and chronology, as well rs the history, OF
Southern Russia.

How the President Spends His Time

! In one of his recent letters from Wash

he takes a great interest Returning to the

to the Observation-Disclosures are entrusted
to the secretary, who makes minute of the

all which are entitled to reply receive one,

argument does he demolsh by

Rebel OutrageS i'm Alabama.

! On the 24th Of February 1868 Brig. Gen
DoDGE, at his Headquarters for the District
| Of Corinth officially announced a string OF
| the most revolving depredations, outragcs,
and murders perpetrated by the rebels upon
! Alabama Union t;lmilies This publication
! show. that they have not carried on this
war in accordance with the rules that gov
ern civilized nations in such cases, and that
the outragcs perpetratcd are disgraceful
even to savages. We give a few Of the in
stances named by Gen DODGE:
Abe Canady and Mr. Mitchell were hung
for being Union men, and no other crime was
laid to their charge They were citizens of
Marion county, Alabama. Mr. HALLMARK
and his daughter, of the same county were
shot for the same cause. The daughter was
instantly killed. and the father mortaIlv
wounded, and died in a few days Peter

thirty others, were burned The women

them to 90 into other houses, orted. clothed.

would be served in the same way Mr.. |

WAS done because the parties We're for the

sy of Secession. In other cases it was done
because the parties had sons or relatives in
