The Richmond papers note the appear
ance in that city OF we'll executed $40
United States Treasury notes. So per-
fect is their imitation that they are cal
oulated to deceive the best informed.
The Baltimore papers also make mention
of dangerous imitation of the fifty
cents fractional currency bill which has
been put in circulation in that city.
Our citizens and bankers should be on
the lookout, as specimens of these notes
will no doubt find their way hither.
There are now two vacancies in the
higher branch of the General Assembly p
one caused by tho death of Mr.. II. W.
Duncan, Senator from Union, and the
other by the decease of Mr.. L. NJ. VIM
bush, Senator from Chester. It is to be
hoped that an order for ON election to
fill these vacancies will be issued at an
early day, and that repetition of the
outrage on the citizens of Lexington
County may never occur. Chester, no
doubt, would elect Radical Senator,
while Union is sure for Democrat.
The Union says. significantly, "in Union
there is need for care"
