CogsTERrEIT TREASURY Es-The
counterfeit 300 Treasury notes lately
put in circulation may be readily de-
tected. Thelnumber Of the note is larger
and less brilliant in color than the genu-
inc. The imprintof the American Bank
Note Company at the top is also larger,
the double rule running from il Is heavier,
aud the terminal curve twice as large,
while there Is diagonal shading at the
point Of the Imprint on the rule. which
does not appear on the genuine. On the
right end of the back of the bill the 400
10 the circles are inverted thus COL.
Ia the genuine the 100" 10 the circles
on the left end read thus: '00l." The
outside circle Of the loo in the lower
left corner of the genuine touches the
lower corner; in the counterfeit it does
not come within one-sixseanth of an
inch. Tho paper is also heavy and some
what greasy in the counterfeit, and there
are other slight differences.
One OF these bills was passed in this
city sometime ago, but at the request Of
the police officers we declined mention.
ing the fact at the time.
Men in the habit of handling large
bills should scrutinize the hundred
greenbaek closely. Hf

B1~ We do not know what the Demo-

member Of Congress from the Second
District Of Ohio. He appears to be an
other Of their indiscreet gentlemen who
are unable to keep from saying what it
il TO ths interest Of the party to have
unsaid We have no doubt bnt that Mr..
Long gave ntterance to what is upper
most ID the heart Of every genuine Cop
perhead, bat most Of them deem il nm
wise 10 ayow their true opinions or in
teDlions. Then, too, how very disagree-

speeeL, and TO vote for expulsion Is wid-
ening the split Ia the Democratic party.
/ We suppose many will dodge vote alto
gether by leaving the House as they did
when the RESOLUTION censuring Mr., liar
ris was pending. Others, however, and
we presume orr cofpnlent representa-
tive will be among tbenumber, will bold
| ly back up the traitor Long and vote
against both expulsion and censure. We
are anxious to see the ayes and noes
We want to see how the Copperheads at
Washington face the music. We have
no idea that Mr. Long will be expelled
That can only be accomplished by a two
third vote, and we do not think enough
Democrats will have the manhood to
vote for either expulsion or censure q
make, with the Union vote, the requisite
two-thirds
But, however the vote may result, the
debate growing out Of the resolution will
do much good The showing up o
Fernando Wood and Voorhees,, by Messrs
schenek and orth, will open the eyes Of
the people to the true character and in
tentions Of those individuals. Sixieer
thousand copies Of Mr. Schenek's speech
were ordered for general distribution
throughout the country, and we doub
not large numbers Of Mr.. orth' speech
will also be printed
We urge upon the Union men Of thiI
part of the State, to make arrangement
to obtain copies Of these important doc
uments, for distribution in this District
Every family in the District ought to b,
supplied with sound political reading-
especially with those documents pointin,

forward hopefully to the. future. I have
the utmost confidence in the patriotism Of

us. We. need not hope for foreign assist.

hope as bright as the morning star-and
that is in our own people in. the men who
will make any sacrifice rather than. yield.
There is no cause for dependency. Let
the pulse of manhood beat in your bosom.
Think it not strange that We suffer. 1t is
for our own misdeeds that we suffer. We

GEN. JoHNsToN.-A British officer who
made the tour of the Confederacy from
Texas to Richmond, has published in the
London Inder review of book, in which
he mentions visit to the camp of General
Johnston at Vicksburg.
The Richmond Dispatch in noticing the
officers remarks, says:
This officer visited the camp of Gen. Joe
Johnton at the time Grant was besiegiug
Vicksburg, and he mentions one fact which
we do not recollect to have seen before; and
WHICH explains satisfactorily the inaction of
that officer, for which he received at the
time so much denunciation from people
who knew positively nothing of the situa-
ton. He says that, while Gen. Grant was
besieging Vidksburg with $4,000 men,
Gen. Johnston had under his command not
more than II, 900 men and l6 pieces of ar
tillery. To have attacked Grant under such
circumstances would have been to sacrifice
his whole force without the possibility of
saving vicksburg; whereas, if Vicksburg
had been evacuated, as We understand was
Gen. Johnston's plan, and the army of
Pemberton united with that of Johnston,
the Yankees would only have had Vicks-
burg, as they have it now, and affairs in
the Southwest be very different from their
present condition. ...
