'The oath of allegiance taken by ourselves
In common with our fellow citizens, has far
different significance now, than the same oath
could have had before the unsettled question

to the Union: before we held obedience to be
due, first, to the State. The same honesty and
sincerity which made the sons of Virginia

Will make them true and faithful to their oath

great severity many eastern towns, has almost

1t is understood that the Solicitor of the
Treasury has issued instructions as to rewards
which shall be given to persons who may aid
IN detecting, arIesting, OF convicting counter
letters of United States notes or bonds. There
IL no doubt that If the Government shall give
adequate rewards (and promptly to persons
who succeed at great personal risk in ferreting
out desperate gangs of counterfeiters, that
much may be done in putting a stop to the
issue of counterfeit money. 1t is frequent
matter Of complaint amongst expert detectives
that the Government pay for such work is so
trifling, and obtained with such immense cir
cumlocution, that il is not worth their while
attending to it, in fact that they can do much
better in their ordinary line of detective busi-
ness, in the employ of private citizens. The
present energetic officials of the Treasury De-
partment are alive, we doubt not, TO the fact
that the most accomplished counterfeiters of
