The New Counterfeit.

The Pittsburg Commercial gives the fol
lowing account of the new counterfeit:
The appearance of the new counterfeit one
hundred dollar compound-interestn note has
caused quite sensation. Its face is one OF
the best engraved limitations ever issued,
while the back is q fac Simiie of the genuine
plate and only distinguishable from the gen.
uine note by the coloring and impression,
differing in minute particulars from those
printed at the Treasury Department. The
honor and interests Of the Bank Note Com
panies are deeply involved in answering the
question where the back Of this counterfeit
came from. Either the original plates en-
graved by the American Bank Note Com
pany have been allowed to get into improper
hands, or tho fac siDiiie was obtained by the
electrotype process. Taking the first by.
pothesis, it is difficult to see why the gen
uine face was not obtained in the same man
ner; but If the plate was obtained by elec.
trOtype, the probable reason for the face not
having also been electrotyped is, that the
vignette and other portions of it are en-
graved in several different pieces, while the
back is one piece.
In connection with the electrotype theory,
II Is now remembered that experiments in
the duplication Of plates by this method were
carried on in the Treasury building by per.
sons not regularly employed by the Govern.
ment, prior to Mr.. McCulloch's appointment
as Secretary, and that any such multiplca-
tion of the plates was talked of as a danger.
Gus proceeding at the time. Boxes contain.
ing electrotype plates, but not this one, it is
believed, are known to have been shipped to
New York for backing. Either there or in
transit they might have been in improper
custody. This subject derives much of its
importance from the fact that if the facts
eventually show that the back of the note
was electrOtyped in the engraving room of
the Treasury Department, it is possible that
other plates may have been obtained in some
way, and that succession of spurious and
almost fac SiRiiks issues Of Government cur
rency will follow this.
1t would seem that long time has been
taken to perfect the process Of mixing inks
and printing, as well as in engraving the
face Of this note, which is altogether the
most dangerous counterfeit yet imposed upon
the public. The whole matter is undergoing
thorough investigation at the Treasury De-
Partment, whose officials will doubtless be
efficiently aided in forreting 1t out by the
Bank Note companies,

Sir Morton Peto's Speech at Hamilton

Sir Morton Peto's Speech Mt Hamilton,
G. w.
SR MORTON PEro concluded his speech in
response to an address of the Board of Trade
at Hamilton, G. W., as follows:
We have had the happiness OF being brought
In contact with many Of the leading minds Of the
United States, and also with their greatest Cen
erals, and we found on all sides the greatest de-
sire that America and Great Britain should re-
main on terms Of amity and concord; aud II is
universally the opinion that any war between
them would be most disastrous In impeding the
progress OF civilization and liberty throughout
the world.
this morning, how doubly important II is for your
interests that the best feeling should exist be-
tween yourselves and the United States. be-
lieve, and / desire to speak frankly, that they
have no desire to interfere In the affairs OF Can
ada They have enough territory for all the sur
plus population Of the whole Of Europe fer an
other century, were 1t all concentrated on them
selves They can therefore well afford that you
should prosper II you desire, as an Independent
people, and cultivate the most amicable rela-
r lions, both commercially and socially. You
know the policy Of Great Britain has totally
changed within the last few years both with re-
gard to our foreign nations and oar colonies
In the first, we are determined toi pursue pol
icy Of the strictest ou-interyentton; aud In re-
dom Of trade with every other country, askin e
no advantage Of any kind for ourselves, You
have been permitted the greatest freedom in your
legislation.
You have tie government Of your country as
much In your own hands as II no connection with
the mother country existed but let me ask you
whether this should be reason for our not en-
tertaining towards you the strongest possible
desire to SEQ you prosperous and happy
On the contrary, we could not give you greater
evidence Of that desire, and so long as you desire
a connection with the mother country, and feel
the same devoted loyalty to Our Queen aud gov
ernment as we do ourselves, It will not be from the
other side Of the water that any severing Of the
link which binds us to each other will arise.
We have seen, throughout our progress In the
United States, everywhere marks Of rapid growth
and increasing prosperity; and we cannot but
desire for them and for you q continuance OF
this great blesssing. May no shadows cross
the path Of either country In Its progfess.
The time has come when nations must no longer
be guided by the prejudoes Of the past or the
passions OF the present; but you, In your own
busilass affairs, must be content to sit down and
calmly consider every matter aud subject Of dif-
ference, and when this Ia done In spirit Of con-
-ciliation and desire for each others prosperity
you may depend that no difference will arise
which will call on the sword to arbitrate but all
will be blessed in consciously following the great
precedent Of each doing to the other as he would
desire to be done BY

To the Editor orhs National Republican:
The political campaign now drawing neal
the close has been one Of unusual interest in
the gallant Republican State of Iowa. The
Republicans Of that State made their nomi
nations early, and, as usual, adopted plat
form of straight-out principles on which they
could, and have, made fine fight against
the Opposition. The Democracy did not have
any regular nominations at all.
They have been setting up their pins fol
no earthly purpose but to see them knocked
down so long that they have got tired of it.
So they managed TO get few disaffected
soldiers together at Des Moines in what they
called Soldiers Convention, and which
had delegates from only Eve or six of the
hundred counties in the State which nomi-
mated Col. Benton for Governor and Col.
Van Anda for Lieutenant Governor. The
latter promptly withdrew, and the {" Pos
sums" as they are called, have at last put
up Judge Hamilton, an Englishman, of Du-
buque, who never smelt gunpowder, as the
second man on the Soldiers ticket
The game OF the soldiers ticket has not
been successful. The soldiers see Copper
heads under it, and they don't see anything
else. So, though no objections are made to
Col. Benton personally, he gets no sympathy
from soldiers, and will probably be more sig.
nally defeated than Gen. Tuttle was two
years ago. The Republicans, meanwhile, in
nearly all the counties, have nominated sol.
diers for the Legislature and the local off.
ces. Gen. Fitz Henry Warren is a candi.
date for the Senate from Des Moines county
Gen, Clark X. Viewer, the hero of Reseca, is
running for the same Office in Lee county.
The gallant Col Leake, Of the goth, is the
candidate in Scott, whilst Col. c. G. Carpenter,
Col. T. I. McKenney, Major Bergman, and
many other soldiers, well known throughout
the State, and some of them throughout the
country, have been nominated for different
off ces.
Gov. Stone, Ex-Gov. Kirkwood, and other
able speakers have been canvassing the State
and there have been nearly as lively times
out thel0 s.s during Presidential campaign.
The only trouble has been the weakness of
the Opposition. We suppose there is not a
particle of doubt that Gov. Stone will be re-.
elected by prodigious majority, or that the
Legislature will be nearly two thirds Repub-
lioan. Iowa is star that never sets.

PRIZE Fight NEAR PHILADELPHIA.
Boston Against the quaker City,
SIXTEEN ROUNDS FOUGHT.
The Quaker Citizens Break into The Ring 10
Save their Champion. %

Yesterday an exciting prise fight took
place about six miles distant from the "City
OF Brotherly Love-" and the scenes there
enacted would have Mortified the soul Of the
late William Penn, Esq, could he have wit
messed them. -r
John Turner-familiarly called "Jack
Turner "a noted pugilist Of Boston, was
matched to fight another party Of the same
persuasion, named james Turner, belonging
in Philadelphia, within the area Of twenty
four feet ring, according to the rules Of the
London P. r., at place to be named near
the Quaker City. .......,
The pommeling was to have come of sew
eral days ago, but some difficulty interven-
ing, the match was postponed to yesterday,
Ave hundred dollars having been added to the
original stakes. ......
An eyewitness to the ''mill, )" who arrived
in the city to-day, reports that the result was
not very creditable to tho pugilistic element
of the City of Brothsrly Love. Tho adven-
turous and indiscreet Bostonian who had
Coho w hh'o - hhoVh-uoWu WIN Onc
of his professional brethren of the Quaker
City, learned the difficulties and dangers Of
fighting cock upon his own dunghill.
Sixteen rounds were fought, when the fel-
lows belonging in Quakerdom found their
champion getting the worst of 1t I" very
fast, whereupon they broke into the ring with
yells and blows and asserted their original
peace principles by ending the fight In a row,
after the fashion Of Democratic convention.
II is said that the referee was all on one
side, like the handle of a jug. calling out
"foul" before he was appealed to by either
sidei and II afterwards proved that he was
bar.keeper in the employ Of the backer of
the Philadelphia Turner. A meeting was to
be held at ten o'clock to-day of the parties
interested, whom q decision respecting the
disposal of the battle money would be rem
dered, the result of which has not yet come
to hand.

Mr.. William Wallace Is the author Of the
following resolutions now pending in the
South Carolina Convention:
Mr.. William Wallace introduced the fol.
lowing resolutions:
Whereas, by the fortunes Of war, our
former noble and beloved Chief Magistrate,
Jefferson Davis, is now languishing in prison,
awaiting his trial for treason; and whereas
the fanatics Of the North, not satisfied with
the widespread ruin and desolation which
they have caused, are shrieking for his
blood; .-...-..a.-.-.- =
Resoived, That II is the paramount duty of
South Carolina, who led the way in our late
struggle for Independence, and for which
struggle he Is now suffering, to use every
lawful means in her power to avert the doom
which threatens him.
Resolved, That to this end, q deputation
Of members Of this body be sent to the city
Of Washington, in behalf Of the people Of
South Carolina, to ask Of his Excellency, the
President Of the United States, to extend TO
the Hon. Jefferson Davis that clemency which
he has shown to us, toho arc egWdLly the
shdrers Of his gnih, If gn,h there Be, and
which is accomplishing so much towards re-
storing the peace and harmony Of the Union.

SOUTHERN RESOURCES.

II begins to be quite apparent that the
South was not really impoverished by the
war to half the extent we had been led to
suppose, for Southern merchants are coming
forward and paying their old debts and pur-
chasing new goods in way that astonishes
those who looked upon the Southern country
rs nearly dead broke. JEFF. DAVIS having as
Gen. JORDAN charges upon him, neglected to
avail himself Of the resources of the cotton
States, when the hand Of necessity pressed
heavily upon them, many of them converted
their property into specie and hid it awayfrom
the rebel government and the contending
armies. Denying themselves the superflui-
ties and even the comforts Of life, they kept
end or their last extremity should come.
Living in the plainest manner possible, they
were subjected to the least possible expense,
and thus saved most of their property OF
money. In this way we account for the sums
of money brought North by Southern NOR
chants.
There are large districts, too, in the South
where the cultivation of the soil and raising
of focks and herds was not materially inter.
fered with. Texas, for instance, is full of
cattle and horses. A correspondent writing
from thence lately says the country is alive
with stock Railroads and lines Of steamers
are actively getting into operations new en-
terprise is being infused into all the channels
of trade and business, and the recuperation
of the South is growing with great rapidity.
We hear more about the resources of the
South now than we ever did before, because
the veil of slavery which darkened that fair
land having been rent away, there are many
prospecting for business enterprises, and re.
porting what they find.
Before the war thousands Of enterprising
business men, agriculturists, &C., who had
no conscientious scruples on the subject of
slavery could not go there because they had
not sufficient capital to buy set Of slaves
in addition to other necessary investments.
Take the line of slavery, and on one side n
farmer was only required to purchase his
land, buildings, and agricultural implements,
while his labor was paid for from the produce
of his farm season by season on the other
side Of the line, he would be obliged to pur-
chase, in addition, from $50, 900 to 500, 900
worth Of slaves. Now that labor can be
hired in the South, men can engage in bust.
ness there on much smaller capital than be-
fore, and this will lead to development Of
