NEW AND DANGEROUS CoUNrERFEITs.-One ofthe
most dangerous counterfeits Of the national eUren-
cy that has yet been uttered is the fifty dollar COM
hound interest note It is ac Suliie of the genu-
inc note. The general appearance, like the one hun
drel dollar note OF the SAME issue, Is calculated 10
deceive the hest judges. All that have come under
our observation thus fan bear date July 10, 1851 and
letter C. The date and letter, however, may easily
be altered. The female figure on the left end Is
rather colrSely executed, and the viSage OF the male
portrait on the right end is not well done, having
much the appearance of mulattO face. The letter
ing Is aluosl iautiess, but the shading IS heavier
aud mnch darker than on the genuine note The
counterfeit is about Ouy-<Xtgcnth OF an inch mar
rover than the good note and fraction shorter
Counterfeit twentes OF the national currency are
being extensively circulated throughout the Yves
terra States All THAT have yet heard OF have been
on the Firs; Rational Bank OF Indianapolis; but the
plate may be easily altered TO represent the same
denomination Of any other Eaiiqnal bank.
There are some three OF four ddeTeA plates OF coun
forfeit twenty dollar legal tender notes in circulation
la many cases the defective engraving and bad gen
era. appearance of the fraudulent note will enable
its letect ton. The discrepancies noted IN the fol-
loving engraved points will he found useful in ma
sy case, In determining the genuine from the bad
Lin. slough il DOGS not hold good in all cases. The
point 10 Wbl.h Se a!lUde Is the letter Ia IN the
