The New National Bank Currency. The
Eiraf

The New National Bank Currency THE
First.
As the introduction of these new bills
may be said to open anew era in the history
of our national currency, a short description
Of the national bank note will not be inap-
propriato in this connection, 1t may be
stated at the start, by the way, that the
plates, designs and appearance of all these
notes will be the same for all the States,
with the single and necessary exception of
the local names and numbers.
The face of the notes may be briefly dc.
scribed as follows:
At the left hand corner Of the face is a
vignette representing Columbus sighting
land. lie is standing on shipboard, and in
the act of pointing out the shore of Guiana
Hani, while figure kneeling, is seen point
ing in the same direction, and looking into
the face of the great discoverer. In the i'm
mediate foreground is another figure with a
cross in claspcd hands, and the face turned
heavenwards, in thanksgiving to the AL
mighty. The background is occupied by q
priest and other figures, while on the sail
above the word "iye" is engraved in highly
ornamental letters. This design, it will be
noticed, is historical, and this is in compli
ance with the wish of President Lincoln
who limited his desire on subject in his lettei
inviting proposals.
| The vignette on the left hand side of thu
face contains an allegorical representation
which is also another idea of Mr.. Lincoln s
l. consists Of picture of Columbus pre-
senting America, in the form of an Indial
maiden, to the Old World, personified b,
three figures, representing Europe, Asia anC
Africa. In the foliage overhead is the fgur
five, handsomely onamentcd.
The border OF the face is composed of tn
word five, scroll wo.h, consisting Of crap
leaves, and the figure 8, alternating in panel
The novel popularity of the border is tina
no two words, figures or scrolls are cxacti
alike, having been varied purposely, so tha
the counterfeiter may not be able to imitat
the note by repeating small portions, as
frequently noticed in spurious money. I
order to initiate these notes the counterfeite
will find it necessary to engrave the who
with the minutest nicely.
The legend Of the face, or that porto
which is to be read, contains the folowin
inscriptions:

EDITORIAL CORRESPONDENTS.


Harrisburg, at this time, presents the APP
pcarance of lively military post. Regi-
ments of soldiers are daily arriving and
departing, and the recruiting service never
was more active. In the Legislature but
little is doing. Both Houses NEE. at II
A. NJ. and adjourn at p. NJ, though the
Senate seldom does much more than read
the Journal and then adjourn. But this
factious opposition by men protesting de.
mocracy will not last long, and we are
assured, by good authority, that more than
one of the factious Senators will rejoice
when the successor of Major White will
arrive and one of them con6dentially re-
marked to friend, that Major Whites ap-
pcarance in that chamber, would be more
welcome to him than a thousand dollars.
On Wednesday last spirited debate sprung
up in the House on a resolution to allow no
damages caused by the invasion Of the rebel
army, to persons who could not establish
their loyalty. This brought up our repre-
sentative, Mr.. Purdy, who gratuitouslg as
sumed that the resolution was aimed at a
class of persons like himself, and proceeded
to give an account of the Invasion of his
Office" by file of soldiers from New York,
on their return home. That our neighbor
would make political and other capital CIT
of this raid, was not unexpected, but to dc
this it was neither necessary or proper tc
condemn the war and to abuse the admins
tration and the government. A very bad
feature in Mr.. Purdys remarks, was his at
tempt to cast odium on the government or
account Of the taxes by stamps. He stated
that there was but one thing he could re
member which was not taxed, and that wal
"cradle." II that was included, he thought
we might say, "wc were taxed from th'
cradle to the grave" As it is not SO lons
since our neighbor has left the order o
bachelorhood, and as his age does not pre-
clude the necessary use of such an article
he ought to be thankful, at least, for tina
boon, When some carping, ill.natured fel
low, told DR.. johnson that "he thankc,
God" he was different from him, the d.
camly replied, that he was gratifed to lear
that he thanked God for anything" Ou
neighbor ought not 10 be less grateful &c
this favor, even though it be "a small one
But seriously speaking, the attempt
render odious the tax laws, upon the SUI,
cess of which our very existence, as go,
ernment, depends, and without which IL
Union and the Constitution arc but a rol
of sand, is to say the least, unpatriotic
not disloyal. The time is not distant wht
the opponents of the present war, will dee
such a charge stigma upon their characte

while the latter gives an illustration of the
necessary deviation required by local names

In the lower margin of the face are found
the words, "Act approved Feb 25, 1861
The spaces beneath each vignettc are left
vacant for the signatures of the president

The back of the note displays another
beautiful exhibition Of ingenuity and taste.
The principal vignette is large oval, ex-
tending over the greater part of the back,
reproducing Vanderlyn's famous picture in
the rotunda of the Capitol at Washington,
representing the landing of Columbus. The
picture is printed in black, as are also the
legends which surround it. The upper le.

~" We find the following in regard to
the late attack of the soldiers on the Demo
crat Office, in the Bloomsburg Democrat:
at is alledged that tins cowardly act was
committed by body of rowdy soldiers
from New York, so,journing the past day in
Sunbury. 1t is more likely, that so mean an
assault upon private property, was either
committed by, or the assaiIants instigated
to it's commission by the Editors Of the Sun
bury Abolition machines, and their disloyal
abettors-sreaks, pimps and towards
enjoy the largest license for such unlawful
business, Ivy the voluntary Pardon-for all
such crimcs-of Andrew &. Curtin.
The above is o specimen of the moral
honesty of another miserable Coppcrhcad
editor. The fellow knew lie was leing when
he wrote the article. as Mr.. Purdy himself
| distinctly stated that the act was committed
| 10y the soldiers. Men whose morals have
been more than questioned, should be eau
tious in making charges against others.

The Situation of Sherman's
Army Critical.

WAsHINGToN, March 1.-The N. Y. Worlds
special says: Since the disastIo Gus retreat Of
Grierson and Smith upon Memphis the most
serious apprehensons are felt in official and
political circles that their retreat interrupts
Sherman's communications all along the
line of the Mobile & Ohio Railroad and de
prlves his army of an important source of
supply, without which it is believed, be
can't maintain his ground, and worse still |,
it deprives him OF the cavalry force upon
which he relied to perfect his operations
Military men believe Sherman will now be
obliged to retrace bis steps and return to
Vicksburg.
A private letter dated Feb'y goth says
Sherman had reached Meridian, but hearing
of the cavalry retreat he dared not proceed,
and had erected earthworks around the city.
The report of his occupation of Selma was
iscredited, that being 100 miles from Me
ridian.
News from the South reports Polk be-
tween Selma and the Tombigbee river who
was watching Sherman and is prepared to
dispute his passage of the river.
The Alexandra Journal says We would
not be surprised within day or two to
hear of raid on our wagon trains on the
Orange and Alexandria Railroad as well as
in the neighborhood of Vienna, as force OF
Mosby's guerrillas were seen estesday q
miles from Falls Church watching the
movements Of our trains. Mosby was with
the gang in person.

The Paris Press, in an article upon the
American war, in which it arrives at the
conclusion that the South is nearly ready
to abandon the struggle, thus speaks OF Gen.
Grant: "Grant is the American Massena,
the beloved child of victory, who has never
met with reverse, but who is as vigilant
and indefatigable as if be had one to
fear. Alone be is able to resist the three
armies of the Confederation.
GEN. Wool has written letter to the
secretary of the Albany Bazaar, in which he
gives his plan for the defeat and crushing of
the rebellion during the ensuing campaign.
He would have ESQ, 1000 men under Grant,
and as many more under Meade, moving up
on the enemy at once and with irresistible
power. Thus, placed between the upper and
neither grind stones, the rebellion would be
efiectually crushed.
