PUBLIC MEETING At THE cry HAIL.
Reconstruction Of the South.

The citizens Of Portland win not forget the
meeting at the City Hall this evening, at 7 1-2
O'CLOCK Which is to be addressed by
REV. JAMES w. HUNNICUTT.
OF Virginia. Mr. Hunnicutt is native Of the
South, was raised and educated there and for
several years before the rebellion published
and edited popular and widely circulated
public journal in the city of Fredericksburg.
he had accumulated a comfortable property,
had his family around him. and apparently was
as favorably situated to enjoy life as most men
of equal social position.
But evilminded men fred the Southern
heart" and the red torch of war was applied
to our national fabric. Mr.. Hunnicutt's own
State toppled over on the side of rebellion, her
great men followed the interests and fortunes
of their State, and her sons in the army and
navy, with few honorable exceptions, threw
themselves into the vortex, determined to sink
or swim with the rebel cause.
Not SO with 61r. Hunnicutt. He loved his
country, which had been true to him; he loved
its flag, which was the symbol OF freedom. of
equality, and Of liberation, and from the start
he resolved, come veal or come woe, come
prosperity or come adversely, come life or
come death, to stand by his country, its honor
and its flag, though to do so he should become
estranged from friends, and be cast out Of the
State which had had the benefit of his best
thought and of his most vigorous effort.
By that resolve he has stood, firmly, I'M
hinchingly and fearlessly, though his property
dissolved away and he was forced to become a
refugee among the people of the North. The
storm having passed, we find him the same
untiinching, infexible Union man; a man
whose Unionism has cost him nearly every
thing except life and honor, and now he is
about going back, not to Fredericksburg, but
to Richmond, to establish paper that shall
advocate the great doctrines Of Human Rights
as those doctrines are held and maintained in
our own New England.
Tonight Mr.. Hunnicutt viii give bis views,
at the City Hail. on the coadition and wants
of the South, and on the great question of the
Reconstruction and treatment OF the late reb-
ell States. The bare announcement viii, we
dare say, FIJI the Hall with the loyal ladies and
gentlemen Of the city. Admission free.

visitors, Mr.. Schade did not consider it proper
to ask for direct answer, thinking it possible
some additional facts might come to the knowl-
edge OF the President before Friday, which
might induce him to extend the desired Exec

however, short statement, with the reasons
GA which he based the applications. The Pres

day, that he was not very well in body, and
therefore feared he would not be able to walk
to the place of execution with steady step,
and that this might be interpreted as a sign Of
fear and guilt. When, this morning. he saw
workmen building the gallows, it astonished
him, occasioning a shudder, which he said
was owing to the fact that he felt innocent of
the crimes with which he was charged. ia

New York, Nov. s.
Counterfeit $50 legal tender notes are in cir
culation in this city. They are very close inn
itations Of the genuine, and experts are being
deceived BY them. There are but two discrep-
ances between the genuine and false notes an
parent to the public. The last part of the en-
craving of the head of Hamilton on the face
OF the note, represents the line of the waist
coat as crossing the white collar at the neck.
The acute angle formed by the shape of the
collar, so far as is known, is perfect in the
counterfeit, but in the genuine the lines of the
flesh are drawn by the engraver across the
point of the collar at its junction with the
waistcoat. The other discrepancy is in the
shape OF the ornaments in the border and on
each end of the face Of the bill and in the
whole border on the back. All the figures of
the genuine bill are OF an octagonal form.
rather well defined, though the angles are not
sharp and the eight sides may be easily discern
ed. In the counterfeit the border ornaments
are octagonal only in slight degree and seem
perfect circles. 1t is thought the Treasury
Department win call in all $50 legal tender
notes in circulation.
