A GERMAN ESTIMATE OF YANKEE SWAGGER.--A
late German paper published in this country, thus
speaks:
The interest taken by the Americans in the pre-.
sent German war is greater than il has been in
former Warlike events of the old world, and we do
not regret this is so The Americans vet see be-
fore them all the details Of their own civil war
They have not forgotten the endless time which
WAS required to strike heavy blows on the rebels.
They know their own sacrifices in money blood
and time for the capture of Richmond Mobile
Atlanta and Savannah. They saw that even their
most exalted generals could achieve great results
emily by slow process and dispToportionate sacri-
ices. They. were ungratefnl to the able German
officers and they did not protect them sufficiently
against the Infamous Vaccinations of American
generals who systematically pushed the German
generals IN the background whilst they knew how
to make tleiro native ignorance and incapa=
city valuable.
They were so much saecnstonedto worthless
otheeTs they raised even the smallest of their sue
oess0rs TO the clouds, and they proclaimed any
officer a Napoleen,a Hannibal and Cesar for his
most insignificant success IL be was OnIya native
born American and, when finally after d reais-
lance Of four years, the South could not hold out
any longer with its one hundred and seventy
thousaRd men against the million Of the North,
they declared themselves the greatest warlike ma
ton on the earth; and they burnt in the most ridi
culong manner snch immense quantities of incense
for their generals that anybody that did not look
at the sight through the spectacle of national van
ity was an object Of pity and disgust The events
ID Bohemia have opened the eyes Of the Ameri-
cans ia the most cruel way. They have shown
them how war shonld be carried on, ana of what
value the performances of Messrs. Grant. Sher-
man, Sheridan, and ell other American Napoleons
were. Compare only what the Prussian army
achieved in seventeen days with the deeds of our
greatest American generals.
It is, in fact, the general opinion, among dis
passionate observers, that General Exhaustion had
more to do with the overthrow of the Confederate
cause than the military of the federal armies
had 8a&

The increase in national bank notes between
the 10th Of June, 1865, and the 18th of August,
1866, aggregated $l4l, ZIG, 245. ii we deduct the
amount Of legal-tender notes Withdrawn from cir
cplation from this total, we find that the real in
crease in the currency, exclusive Of the State
bank circulation, since June l, 1865, has been $751;
439,544 # we were to go fmtheg back we shonld
greater; but what we have given will be sufficient
to correct the prevailing idea that the volume Of
paper money aflOat had been greatly reduced
during the past year. As $2S7 0t6, $50 of the au-
thelized $500, 100000 Of national bank notes
have been already issued, the maximum will
soon be reached; and after this elimination there
will be no material change in the circulation of
the country for long time to come. The act Of
congress providing for the reduction Of the cur
rency limits the same to 81 000, 0G0 month after
the first six months have expired, during which
the reduction ia limited to ten millions Hence
there is no ground whatever for any anticiDasion
Of the evils arising from q sudden contraction of
the currency, which is as impossible as a sudden
resumption OF specie payments would be, unless
government were to be ridiculously and criminally
sacrificed; and Of this there is, fortunately, no
danger.-[ Northern Exchange.
NATIONAL BANK CURRBSoY.-As there are at
present SO many counterfeit and altered National
Bank notes in circulation throughout the country,
we publish the following list of designs on the
back Of the genuine notes: $1,000 notes Washing
ton resigning his commissions $500 notes, sur
render Of General BurgOyne 500 notes, declara-
ton of independence; $40 notes, baptism of
Pocahontas $40 notes, De Soto discovering the
Mississippi; SIS notes, landing Of Columbus in
1872; 81 notes, Sir Walter Raleigh 1885 81 notes,
landing Of the Pilgrims. All National Banknotes,
the backs of which do not correspond with the
above, are bogus.
