John BrownIOw VS.. Stokes.

We find the following card intbe Bnex-
vile Wing of Wednesday:
Gen. Stokes, in his speech yesterday,
quotes me as saying in The State Conven-
ton thai the men who came here for Sen
ter did the igting during the war, and the
old men who came here for stokes are the
sugar contractors for ;he Confederate
army"
The truth Is, two words which ! usea
were left out of the printed report of my
speech. Those words were preceding whist
was said of "the old men" They were
" some Of the old men, etc. Those words
added, and the report IS correct, as [ made
the speech, as the facts were, and as l Will
stand by it. Everybody there understood
my remarks TO apply, chiefly, 10 Tom
Hamilton, she sugar contractor for the
Confederate army, and the ILLUSION to the
" old men" who supported Stokes was
made in reply 10 Mr.. Williams statement
that those who were supporting seater
were young men and beardleSs BOYS.

SHARP PRACTICE.
Wouid-be Showers Of the Queer
Badly Fooled.
CircAr from Gen. Spinner, OF the
Treasury Department, .-st.

Some two or three weeks ago several
| parties in this CITY received through the
mail a ten cent and a twenty-five cent
treasury note enclosed in q circular,
| which Stated hat they were specimens OF
counterfeits which wonld be furnished at
| so much per package. On examining the
notes thew were found 10 be ! genu-
inc or such exact copies a. 70 oeIy uetec-
ton.
NOT overly scrupulous. and thinking they
saw a chance to make a spec SEMI on
the price of several packages OF the
queer" but up to dale they have re-
celyed no answer that we have heard OF.
Another, a friend of ours, thinking that
he had discovered a gigantic counterfeit
ing scheme, forwarded the C and
the s~pecinens OF currency TO Gen. Spin
ner, from whom he yesterday received IN
replv a circular which we reproduce for
the benefit Of others who may receive
similar communications:
1.-The Treasurer of the United States,
wishes to inform the public that those
vino send oug circulars Offering TO furnlsh
exact copies of United States notes, and
who incIose genuine notes as specimens
OF counterfeiUs in which they deal, gain a
living not only by infringing on the law
of Il Uni. ed States against counterfeit
ing, but either by cheating their victims
OUT OF the whole amount sent them, or by
returning therefor small photographs OF
United States notes, or something similar,
which cannot be passed as money. As
the laws of the United States take no cog
nizanee of such o~tfenses, the Treasury
Department cannot undertake 10 secure
the arrest aud punishment of the offend
ers, but u leave them to be taken care
Of BY the local avs and authorities. He
makes reinstatement not for the informa-
ton of dupes who would otherwise send
their money TO ~swindlers, but to protect
himself and the. Department from the let
tiers inflicted upon them by well-meaning
persons who, having received copies OF
the circulars in question, fancy they have
unearthed some gigantic scheme of coun-
terfeiting, and hasten to lay their infUr-
nation before the department"

70 the Aumane ThrOuahout the siate.

The undersigned, pastOrs0f the churches
Of Clsrksyille, beg leave 10 submit the
following statement and appeal:
There arenOw assembled In the ASYLUM
near our city, sixty orphan children OF
Confederate soldiers, and applications
now on file will soon increasethis number
70 seventy or seveniy-hye. II requires
DO small sum OF money to provide daily
food for the sons aud daughters Of our de-
parted braves. Cnhappily, the current
Income has not been equal 10 the current
expenses, and should this state Of things
continue. serions difficulty must be eX-
perienced in conducting The institution.
Unless, therefore, larger contribu-
lions be made by auxiliary soci-
Giles or by benevolent individuals there
may result no small distress among the
orphans and among those in immediate
charge of the asylum. We say those In
immediate charge" for the asylum is
really, IN a wider and truer sense, the
charge Of the entire people Of the State.
These orphans are the ard 0T the people.
Let the people see that they are not dis
honored in This sacred trust.
The press Of Tennessee viii confer a IA
vor by calling public attention to the i'm
pOFtant cause.
