New COUNTERFEIT.-A new and
dangerous counterfeit National cur
ency-5's denomination recently
been put in circulation, which will
most likely mislead careless handlers
of money, and even the careful with
out close observance. On the left end
of the note the wrist of the left arm of
Columbus is scarcely visible, whereas
in the genuine it is distinct. At top
read "thiS note is secured by bonds"
The letters "B" and ''Y'' are too far a.
part and the go" in "BondS" is under
the "Y," whereas the ''B" in the same
word is imediately under the "Y" in
the genuine. The general appearance
of the bill is a close imitation of the
genuine.

persons have been boarding up the
nickel pennies, known as the eagle or

that the coin was worth a premium of
80 per cent. A letter from Secretary of
the Treasury states that they are quo

the rumored premium is nothing but a
dodge on the part Of certain parties to
dispose of their nickels at an advan-

FROM WASHINGTON.

WASHINGTON, March 22.-SESATE-
Mr.. Sherman offered resolution author
igng the Secretary of the Treasury to
discontinue the employment OF persons
collecting the direct tax in the Southern
States. and impose that duty on the col
lectors of internal revenue, who are to
perform them without additional COM
pensation, which was agreed to and
passed.
A Joint resolution, directing the REIN
bursemeat to Indiana for money expeno-
ed in calling cut the militia, with amend
ments to include Ohio, Kansas and Ten
nessee, was recommitted to the Senate
Military Committee by vote of q
against 9.
The House joint resolution, appropri-
ating 81, 100000 for the destitute of the
South, was concurred in.
The bill of last session, appropriatlng
Sl,OOO,O 900 for the relief of the heirs OF j.
E. Bouligny, was passed.
The amendment to the House bill, sx-
-empting wrapping paper made of wood
or corn stalks from the Internal Revenue
tax, was again amended by exempting
paper of all descriptions. The Senates
amendment as amended was then con-
Cured in, by vote of 68 to So.
The Senate's resolution terminating
the contract of member OF Congress
with the Postofiice Department was con-
sidered. Mr.. Terry moved an amend
ment empowering the Postmaster Gen
eral to reject any bid he may deem exor-
bitant, which was agreed to and the bill
passed.
In the House the Senates joint reso-
luton for the relief of the restitution in

as be may deem necessary, as aforesaid,
Of the unexpended moneys heretofore
provided to supply the freedmen and
refugees with clothing and rations"
Mr.. Bowen presented memorial and
resolutions from the St Louis Improve
ment Convention, which were referred to

goes to the President.
1t is said that General Sickles will
have the Brigadier Generals position in
