OOUNTERFEITING UNITED STATES BONDS. IMPORTANT DISCOVERIES. The counterfeiting of the issues of the Treas- try Department bas received a sharp check, which, it 1s believed, will result in putting a Step to the operations of the gang and the cap- | ture of the guilty parties concerned. The Se- cret Service Division of the Department, which ds under the jurisdiction of Hon. E. Jordan, | Solicitor of the Treasury, bas during the pe- Tied from the first to the 23d of November arrested twenty notorious counterfeiters, who have been among the most extensive operators in the country. A large amount of legal tender Notes was also captured, together with a num- ber of piates, including one on which counter- feit coupons of five hundred dollar ten-forty bonds were printed. They were put in circu- lation some months ago, and were only detected by the rough manner of printing and finishing. ‘The plate was found in a wall in the aquednet, near New York. Itis almost a perfect imita- tion of the genuine, and was owned by Jerry Cowdon, who was arrested for counterfeiting the fitty cent currency. Five dollar legal ten- | der notes haye been detected, and are known to bave been made in Indianapolis, Indiana. This new counterfeit can be known by its dark ap- pearance and general clumsy execution of the Goddess of Liberty on the leftend. The red geal of the Treasury is the best one yet made by counterfeiters. The chief of the secret service division, Mr. ‘W. P. Wood, reports that lead impressions ‘were taken from the pilates of the $100 com- pound interest notes, by certain printers em- ployed in the printing division of the Treasury, from which steel plates were made for printing the counterfeits. The statement telegraphed from Washington that Mr. Wood had said that ® plate had been abstracted from Mr. S. M. Clark's division, and that he (Mr. Wood) could prove it if allowed to do so, is emphat- ically denied. Mr. Wood expresses much gratification at the zealous co-operation of Mr. Clark in the efforts to ferret out the parties implicated in counterfeiting, and states that to Mr. Clark's assistance is due much of the suc- cess which has attended the operations of the Secret service division. MERCHANTS AND Mecuanics ExcHANGe 3N Nokro_k.—The Merchants and M+ ciari>s Exchange of Norfolk, Va, killed off by the war, bas been reorganized lately, and con- Mendable interest is displayed in the affair by the people of that city. The Norfolk Day Book in reciting the advantages arising from such an institution, says that through the well directed energy of the old Exchange, the receipts of Cotten during the last year of its existence, ‘Were over five hundred per cent. greater than On the first year of ¢.ganization, and the in- crease in the rece'pts of other staples were equally gratifying. This a fact worthy the Bttention of the people of Washington. PersonaL.—G.

The Times says the general wish of the lead- mer of Liverpoo! seems to be that Eng- land should, in conjunction with France and America, take prompt steps to put a perma- Bent stop to the proceedings of Spain in South America, and says measures in support of that view are likely to be adopted in Lon- don, Manchester, Glasgow, and other trading centres. The Daily News remarks -—« The arbitrary conduct of Spain must soon occupy the atten- | tion of the great Powers of Europe and Amer- ica. Spain must be taught that the practice of levying black mail must cease.” Quotations of copper advanced £10, anda further rise was expected, and business was very active. FRANCE. The Paris correspondent of the Times says M. Fould has no intention to resign. No difficnl- ty exists in the way of an economical reform, All differences on ‘the subject in the Cabinet bave ceased.

The Times’ «City Article” says: The de- mund for discount at the Bank yesterday wes moderate, but in the Stock Exchange advances were in request at Ga6 per cent.

General Fullerton, who was sent by the President to New Orleans to adjust the diffi- culties between the military authorities and the inhabitants concerning the freedmen, returned this morning, having eoapeed a4 executed his mission. The General repo’ that the planters are unable to obtain a suffi- cient amount of iabor, and would employ several thousand more freedmen than there are now in the State, The negrocs are gradn- ally becoming disabused of the idea, encour- aged by mischievous Northern men, that they are to 1eceive lands from the Government, and «wre contracting with the planters for the ensuing year. . Affairs on the Rio Grande excited very little interrstin New Orleans, none there antici- ratng any serions results from the recently rm ported collision: tween our troops and the French. The citizens of Louisiana are ab- sorbed in repauring the losses sustained during the war, and take very little interest in po! itical or military movements. Real estate‘ rents, and all products, are commanding high prices, and all branches of business have been resumed with a degree of energy unusual in that sec- tion. THE FREEDMEN {N NORTH CAROLINA. Official returns received at the Freedmen’s Bureau show that of the 10,000 negroes sent down Cape Fear river in March, 1865, to Wil- mington, by General Sherman, 2,000 died from i7th March to 3ist of May, for the want of medical attention, which it was impossible to afford them at the time. Since the establish- mentof the medical department of the Freed- men's Bureau in North Carolina, the mor- tality among the freedmen has greatly de- creased. RELEASE OF DESERTERS. The War Department has issued an order directing the immediate release from confine- ment of all enlisted men convicted of deserting by court-martial. Under this order quite a number were released yesterday from the Old Capitol and Fort Whipple, near Washington. GENEBAL FULLERTON. This officer, who was Acting Assistant Com- missioner of Freedmen for Louisiana, arrived here this morning, haying been relieved by - Baird. Gen. Fullecton will be assigned to duty at Gen. Howard’s headquarters, prob- ably ds chief of staff. WHITE HOUSE. There was a large crowd of visitors at the Executive Mansion to-day, among them Gen- erais Hancock and Rousseau, Senators Doo- litde and Trumbull, and Hon. Horace May- nurd, of Tennessee, OLD CAPITOL PRISON. The highest number ef prisoners in the Old Capitol at any one¢@time during the rebellion was 1.004; but according to the official returns to- there are but eleven confined there now. MUSTERED OFT. Orders just promuigated from the War De- partment direct the muster out of about ten thousand more volunteer troops, consisting of infantry, cavalry, and artillery. THe HT-HOUR MoveMENT.—A meeting of the workingmen of Portsmouth, Va., was held on Friday night last to agitate the eight- hour system. An eight-hour league was formed and a series of resolutions adopted. one of which pledged the members not to support fer office those not in favor of the eight-hour sys- tem. SENSATIONAL REPORTS FROM THE Rto Granve—The New York Times says: We are rather willing to believe that the French commander had the sense to understand that no force—great or small—of United Sta soldiers were engaged in the demonstration on ihe Texas side of the river, and that he knew the firing on the Antonio to be the work of ad- venturous bands ot Liberals that had managed to cross to the “neutral” side. The incident is one barely inviting comment, except in so far as it may indicate the purpose of a class of ad- venturers—many of them fugitive rebels—to drag us into this Mexican imbroglio. before it shall have become expedient for the Govern- ment ofthe United States to depart from its present attitude of neutrality. That there are such adventurers at work in considerable numbers, we presume no one doubts. They may be Mexican Liberalists, Texas Rangers, remnants of the rebel armyof Kirby Smith, with a mixture of Northern chevaliers of for- tune. They are no doubt in greater or less numbers at work on the frontier, doingas mach miscbief—whether designedly or not—to the cause of the Mexican Republic, as is possible under the circumstances. =| SALE OF VALLEY Prorerty.—The beautiful farm in Shenandoah county, lately owned by the heirs of Wm. Steenberger, deceased, was sold a few days ago to John G. Meem, of Lynchburg, for $24,000 in specie, or $84 per acre, the farm consisting of 287 acres. he terms are one-third cash, the balance in six and twelve months. Mr. Meem owns abeut “0 geres in the same section. The town property, in the public square of Harrison- burg, owned by J. Leowenbach, has been sold ‘o Peter Wright, of Hagerstown, Md., for $2,150 in currency, half cash, the batance in one and ‘wo years, with interest. The purchaser is a ny manufacturer, and will carry on the business on the premises. Samuel Frank’s turm in Roekbridge, three miles northwest of Dridgewater, has been sold to Samuel Cline, of Angusta, for $14,000, half cash. The farm con- tains 200 ‘e.
