LONDOn, Nov. 23.-Reports from the north of I France are favorable to the French siege of Montmedy and Messerics being suddenly raised. The besiegers have moved towards the north of France. Lille is well armed, provisioned and garrisoned. War- I like manufactures are progressing actively. Engineers i think Lille nearly as strong as Metz. t Four French iron clads are in the port df Forbay; another is at Brixham coaling. BRaiSSELS, Nov. 23.-The Independence Beige has Paris balloon dates of the 19th. A civic guard com- posed mostly of foreigners has been completed. t Many citizens unfit for active service have been en- rolled in the civic guard, which executes orders of a the Government; distributes rations to citizens and soldiers and performs other service of a similar charac- . ter. The moral of the people is excellent. The Ger- mans were massing on the northern side near St. Denis. Advices from Tours to noon yesterday say the Prus- r sians threaten Nogent, La Ratron and Lemoins with 3000. Another force is moving on Yertan. It is denied that the army of the Loire is to move toward Paris. Several commands of north France, in- t cluding Bourkaki's has been suppressed. The entire q command has been assigned to Gen. Favre. Bourbaki is expected at Tours to command the 18th army corps n in the army of the Loire. The news is more warlike. There is considerable 7 excitement on the Stock Exchange. Rumors are cur- rent of a hostile dispatches from Russia. v VIENNA, Nov. 23.-Soldiers whose terms have ex- pired are only dismissed on furlough in view of a h probable war. LoNDnoN, Nov. 23.-Moscow papers are less insolent I and confident than those at St. Petersburg. c, The Duke of Cleveland writes to the Times arguing against a war with Russia, and says England is without w an army for foreign service and without allies, except n Austria and Turkey, both of whom are bankrupt. pi Russia's reply is expected on Thursday. It is generally G thought it will be unfriendly. at It is reported here to-day that Turkey, for the sake of peace, is anxious to have the Black Sea opened. Semi-official statements received from Vienna to-day tt deny that Austria has proposed a conference relative lo to the existing question. It is also denied that Italy U declines to cooperate with England and Austria for the N enforcement of the provisions of the Paris treaty. di The Times has a special from Constantinople invokes the interposition of the guaranteeing parties. nt The Morning Post has information confirming the El report that Italy will act in concord with England and Austria. d Late Calcutta advices announce that the threatened Russsian complications has completely prostrated busi- ness. The market is completely overstocked with Manchester goods. Heavy losses are expected. The war office distinctly contradicted the reception of the monarch's reply from Russia. The annexation of Bavaria to North Germany is im- minent. The annexation treaty with Wurtemberg was signed to-day. All foreigners, including neutrals, are forbidden to leave Paris. The Prussians had already forbidden them to pass the Prussian lines. VsERAILLES, Nov. 23.-Dispatches yesterday report severaiskirmishes south of La Loupe; in all of which the French were successful.

LosNoN, Nov. 23.-On the 13th instant the sharp- shooters in Gen. Trochu's army made a sortie from Paris as far as Champaigny, three miles southeast of Vincennes. At that point a large body of Prussians were dislodged and the stores collected there destroyed. The Parisians returned to camp withour serious loss. Rumors are in circulation that renewed efforts for an armistice have been made lately. The stories that the manufactories of M. Schneider, at La Cruzote, were sold to an American company is authoritatively denied. PzsTs, Nov. 23.--In the Diet yesterday Count An- drussy, on being questioned, declined to give any in- formation as to negotiations with Russia touching the Black Sea difficulty. ST. PETERSBURO, Nov. 23.-To an address from a Lithanian regiment the Czar replied yesterday: " I hope there will be no war, but if God wills it, you will prove your known devotion," ToURs, Nov. 23.-Bourbaki arrived here last night. A great battle is imminent. The design appears to be to press the enemy's center at Etamps, by a column of 50,000 men, moving from Augenville, while simulta. neously, attacks will be made all along his extended line northwest of Etamps. A correspondent visited the entire French line, from Nevres to Rouen. There is an entrenched camp at Rouen with 150,000 national guards and mobiles; and from there, one unbroken line of entrenched camps extends to Evernes and Lemans. Between Lemans and Bauliner there is an extremely strong force, amounting to sixty-two guns, manned by sailors and mobiles from the south of France. Lemans is garrisoned by Pontifical zouaves. From Lemans the lines extend west to Orleans and north- west to Angerville. The correspondent is forbidden to give further details, but says the strength is under- estimated at 300,000, while equipment, zal and disci- pline are perfect. A special from Havre says a column of five hundred Prussians advanced from Mantes, along the north baick of the Seine, to Vernon, where.it was encoun- tered by a detachment of the army of the north, and routed, with fifty killed and a number of prisoners. Nothing from Evereux. LonosN, Nov. 24.-A serious engagement reported at Henricourt, on the Oiso. No particulars. Trochu's proclamation says: " We have made ef- forts and honored our misfortunes in the eyes of the world. Europe is amazed at the unexpected spectacle of a close union existing between rich and poor. The enemy are suffering far more than we suspected. They begin to yield. They may crush us yet, but if we fall, we shall have bequeathed Prussia a scheme which can- not be carried into execution and an inheritance of ex- ertion and hatred under which, she in turn will fall. The World's correspondent adds: " Our first line 1 of defense, fifteen hundred yards from the Prussian outposts, consists of impregnable entrenphments con- structed on the road beyond Ville Juif; from these en- 4 trenchments one may clearly see the Prussian sentinels. I One hundred and fifteen mitrailleuses received from private makers, and heavy guns made here, have been placed on the works beyond Ville Juif. The health of I the city has improved decidedly; last week the deaths were 1878, this week they numbered 1762. The t deaths from smallpox last week were 378, this week they have been 380. The bishops of Prussia and Poland have petitioned I King William in favor of the Pope. The iron clad Sultan, just finished, was found to be 1 so top heavy that she had to take in three hundred tons i of ballast before it was considered safe to ship her 1 armament. FLOaENCE, Nov. 24.-The Pope has issued an eney- clyecial and bull concerning the spoliation of the r Church, and declares it is impossible for him to make 4 any surrender of property belonging, not to him, but I to God, and only placed in his hands as trustee, and that if taken from him it must be by force. He can- r not have anything to do with robbers, nor accept any- I thing from their bands. The bull pronoances a major a excommans•ation against those who order, commait, sseist or connive at the robbery.t Lomox, Nov. 24.--Ear Russell writes to the Times thatb As CGa proposned tofast ide ihe emeaty f" Fst i by fiese let meet iatm with force.

The weather all over France has been stormy for several days with heavy falls of rain and snow. The bombarding of Thionville is continued with un- remitting activity since Tuesday. A Prussian frigate is cruising in the Azores. . raRSAILLES, Nov. 24.-No news of importance from Paris. The Duke of Mecklenburg is rapidly advancing. 3 Sr. PETERSRURG, Nov. 24.-Gortschakoff's reply to the British and Austrian governments is very concilia- tory. It explained the pacific meaning of its provi- sions and declarations, and affirms that Russia craves peace generally and for the East specially, which it r- would be impossible to maintain without a common understanding, and Russia shrinks from acting sepa- rately from other powers. . BERLIN, Nov. 25.-The North German Parliament opened to day. The royal speech was delivered by commission. It attributes the prolongation of the war with France to the selfishness of the leaders; asks for the needful means to bring it to an end and declares it d has drawn German unity closer. Hopes negotiations le with the Southern States will be considered immedi. w ately, and closer with general congratulations, and a r fervent appeal to God's favor. FLORENCE, Nov. 25.-General Menabre leaves for d Vienna soon as ambassador. S No answer yet returned by the Italian Government k to Russia's note.

MADnlD, Nov. 25.-The total and immediate abolition of slavery in Cuba is again being agitated in Spanish of press. y VERSAILLEs, Nov. 24.--Tihe treaty uniting Bavaria s with the North German Confederation has been signed. ST. PETERSBnRG, Nov. 25.-The press of this city has been officially warned against supporting France or a unfavorably criticising Germany. The interests of Germany is now identified with Russia. Lo•woo, Nov. 25.-The Times, editorially, intimates that Russia will be firm without closing the door to ne- s gotiations-an attitude which England will imitate. The Times estimates there are 200,000 Germans in 1. the valley of the Loire. The Prussians were defeated in an attempt to capture f a train at St. Quentin. I Movements looking to the concentration of the Ger. man army continue. In north France large bodies are marching south to take positions around Paris and near Orleans. The troops operating around Rorerey, Ru- migny and Mezeries suddenly departed southward. I Several Prussian divisions passed Soissons going to- wards Amiens early in the week. Others are to follow. It is reported that en. Monterreffel, leaving Amiens - to-night, will march on Rouen. Monterreffel's head. quarters are still at Campagine. i The formal surrender of Thionville occurred this morning. The town has been burning since Tuesday. The Prussians repulsed the mobiles near Ligonsel. The flight was disorderly. The Duke of Mecklenburg urges an immediate ad- vance on thearmy of the Loire. Skirmishes have occurred between the outposts at Neuville and Naziens, in the department of Lorett. VERSAILLES, via Berlin, Nov. 25.-The forts around Paris are silent for the past three days. The weather continues bad for military operations. FLORENCE, Nov. 25.-The Pope's encyclical, which was recently printed in Geneva, was posted in promi- nent places in Rome. The Journal of Rome which printed the encyclical was promptly seized by the Italian Government. The Italian artillery is to be increased at once. The Duchess Aosta has just given birth to a son. LoNDos, Nov. 25.-The feeling in financial circles at this hour may fairly be called panicy. Securities closed low but without corresponding advance in breadstuffs.

NEw YORK, Nov. 22.-The Northern Transportation s Company suspended payment this morning; liabilities $400,000. Arrangements are negotiating which will 8 probably enable them to resume businesl a The World's special from London says the belief on t Downing street is that Russia, in deference to the united opinion of-the great powers will withdraw the pre- r tensions advanced by Gartschakeff's note; and ex- 6 presses it by a willingness to refer-the question at issue a to a conference, which will not be summoned until G after the termination of the present war. h It is believed 1in some qTnsters that Italy will ulti- e mately join Austria and England in resisting Russia. I There is no truth in the report that Turkey is nego- *1 tiating with Russia regarding an armistice between the i French and Germans. A Paris letter dated the 14th, by balloon, reports the city quiet. Perfect order prevails. Ample pro- visions have been made for three montha There has been no great engagements lately. Great events are expected within a few days. . I Nxw YORe, 23.-The World's special fiom London o says: advices-of the abandonment, on-the.pr of 1e i Germans, to invest the northwest ani osptbwest of Is France is confirmed.

SNEw Yons, Nov. 24.-The Tribune's Paris corre- )r spondent, from the 8th to the 19th inst, represents that the distribution of provisions was irregular and u- unequal in some districts. The people eat guinea pigs,. eats and even rats. Only 40,000 horses remain of one hundred thousand in the city at the beginning of the as siege. Cats are sold at six francs per pound. The . deaths for the past week were 900, 419 of whom were .o from smallpox. After the 15th inst., the sale of flesh t- of horses, mules and asses was regulated by a tariff like i- beef, and rations thereof were issued by the govern- s ment. The people bear their privations well thus far. it Charcoal is now eight times its usual price and the n consumption of gas after 7 o'clock in the evening is t- forbidden. Ryat is released and his comrades soon will be. Ar- it ago resigned the mayoralty on the 18th; Jules Favre y succeeds him. On the 13th Trochu announced to his ir friends that preparations for k sortie were nearly com- sr plete, but the troops are dreadlslly demoralized. it Paris journals publish a strong appeal to the govern- is ment, the substance of which is: "You know your i- army of relief is a phantom. The provinces come to a the help of Paris, and you ought to confess the truth that it is impossible to cut through the Prftfsian lines, or so that your garrison may reach the Loire to get pro- visions. For such a sortie you must win at a great it battle, which, with your present army you cannot do." Rochetort writes, in answer to a question whether he he had really resigned: Yes; on the 1st of November. ir I have never thought cf withdrawingmy resignation. Louis Blanc publishes an address to the defenders i- of Paris, congratulating them on the failure of the n `rmistice, anrd says they cannot and ought not to treat with the enemy whilst occupying French soil.

Loomis, of New York, and Mr. Green- baum, of Illinois, Secretaries; with one Vice Presi- dent from each State and Territory represented. BosToN, Nov. 24.-Among his temptations to war, Butler says: ." I cannot but recall the truth, that our Southern brethren, many of the best and bravest among them, who fought against the government with a vain attempt to rid themselves of the glorious mem- ory of its history, are longing to fight once more under the starry folds of the old flag. Give the privilege to the brave sons of the South to defend their country again in a foreign war, and especially one with Great Britain, not loved by them any more than by us, it would bring us all together again; uniting us with one flag, one country and one destiny, insomuch is this end the hope of the patriot, that one feels almost to doubt whether to achieve it would.not be worth all the loss of blood and treasure in such a war." NEw YORK, Nov. 24.-D. A. Martin, President of the Ocean National Bank, has resigned, and C. S. Ste- venson has been elected to fill the vacancy. J. S. Hartsboro was elected Cashier. The United States steamship Congress arrived at Havana on the 16thlfrom Key West. The frigate Tus- carora was expected there on the 20th to go into the docks for repairs. NEW YORK, Nov. 25.-The World's special from London of the 25th, says the Cabinet culminated to- day. This morning Earl Granville went to Windsor to inform the Queen of the impossibility of carrying on e the Government with the Cabinet so irreconcilably di- vivded as to the policy to be pursued towards Russia. His resignation will upset the ministry. The disolu- tion of the Cabinet can scarcely be prevented. NEa YORK, Nov. 25.-The World's special from London says the Cabinet assembled at half-past two. Granville and Gladstone were absent. At 3 o'clock it Gladstone arrived with the note of Gorischakoff. It b was read and then ensued a hot debate. No decision was reached. The Cabinet adjourned at 7 o'clock un- til to-morrow. Cables to private parties say Gortechakoff's answer does not withdraw what he claims and repeats all in reference to the violations of the treaty. The morning papers say the ministry will stand firm. DA•TIY•,oB, Nov. 26.-The captain of the steamer Baltimore reports that he was chased by a Frenchman several hours, but left the Frenchman astern.. The Baltimore came around the north coast of Scotland. NEw Yon, Nov. 26.-The decision of the Supreme Court defeats Vanderbilt's attempt to blockade the ap- proaches to the Niagara Suspension Bridge against competing roads. Weston failed in his walk and was compelled to yield to the overpowering desire for sleep. The walk was four hundred miles in five eys. He failed on the three hundred and twentieth mile. The Herald's special from London says Russia's re- ply is evidence that she is not prepared to abide equiv- ocally by her original eircular; but Gortsechakoff, who does not wish war, is averse to withdraw the circular. The Tribune's special from St, Petersburg says Russia is unprepared for war and cannot be before spring. The Gazette says Russia cannot withdraw her declar- ation, without the inierence being drawn from this course, that she had been forced to it by the English press which compels her to pursue more actively a re- alization of the problem set before. No one in Russia desires war, but all classes would consent to war rather than humiliating retraction under threats. Mostroouza, ALA., Nov. 26.-The day has been one of excitement here. At the last hour last night, Gov. Smith and Treasurer Bingham obtained from the Supreme Court, Judge Safford, and the Circuit Court, Judge Pelham, an injunction restraining the presiding offieer of the Senate from coenting the vote for Gov- ernor and Treasurer, but to count for the other offices. The result of the count was a majority of all the votes cast in the State for E. H. Moren, Lieutenant Gov- ernor, 4377; J.J. Parker, Secretary of State, 4459; J. W. A. Sanford, 8428. All Democrats. The Presi- dent announced these gentlemen legally elected to their respective offices and ordered the returns to be sent to the Secretary of State to await judicial pro- ceedings. Senator Mabry then offered a resolution that Hon. E. H. Moren be sworn in as Lieutenant Governor and be invited to preside over the joint convention as the legal presiding officer of the Senate. Mr. Barr, presiding officer of:the Senate pro. temn,, asonced the resolution out of order and asked the atate to re- tire to its chamber, which it did, and immedlidely ad- journed. Mr. Moran, meantijae, was swornian Lieut. Governor by Judge Safford, and was escorted to the Speaker's chair. He then announeed that he was ready to- pro- ceed to business as presiding oMfer of the Joint Com- mittee., Mr. Lowe Opieed a resolution that the Seoaary of State, Mr. Miller, Mr. Parker not being sworn in, be asked to return to the Lieut. Governor the returns of the vote east at the lateeleetioe. Mr. Phelan, clerk ofatb te lese, waited on the See- retary of State andvbtain4 the returns. The Lient. Governor, Mr. Moren, a majority of the General As- senfbly being present, then counted the vote for Lieut. Governor and Treasurer. It resulted as follows: One hundred and tweaty-five a a y for Lindsay, Demo- crat, and about 2500 majoriy fr Greant, Democrat. Mr. Lindsay took the, of_ as Governor, and the State; for a time, will . e two Governors. The Senate will r mieg h e Smith and the House Lind- say. The matter will be in the eeasoen. W•axsierox, Nov.

Under this rule two cases have already been re- jected.

Atlanta will be the point of destination. WAsnals;Tco, Nov. 24.-Neither papers nor markets received her-to day. The reception of Archbishop Spalding ias a mag- nificent afflir. There was nearly twenty thouasnd in procession. The colored Catholics in the procession was quite a feature. Their customs and behavior in the devout celebration elicited much praise. WASnlsaTON, Nov. 2.--It has been erroneously stated that the Eighth Infantry had been ordered to Georgia. Gen. lHallerk has been ordered to make such dispo- sition of the troops now in the South as may be neces- sary. sWArtsmUoros, Nov. 2.--The Powhatan has been or- dered repaired immediately. The Star's advices from the Republicans of Georgia are confident in their tone and they claim the Legislature and all but one Con- greasman in the delegation of the first Congress. Wasmntar os, Nov. 26.-Troops have been ordered to Tallahasaee, Florida, to insure order on Tuesday next. Extract from Gen. Sherman's report: "In the ex- amfuation of the reports herewith enclosed, I invite your attention to that recommendation of Gen. Hal- leck which refers to the use of troops in assisting the* 1 civil authorities in maintaining peacecglleeting reve- nues, &c., whichihas become so comnion. The duties of the soldiery in this connection are not prescribed so clearly by statute that the officers can understand their rights and duties; and the civil agents and authorities often expect more than can be right- fully or lawfully done. I think the soldiers ought not to be expected to make individual arrests or to do any acts of violence except in their organized capacity as a posse comitai•ts, duly summoned by the United States Marshal acting in his personal presence; yet, if it is deemed lawful and proper that the soldiers should do more than this, I concur with Gen. Halleck, that Con- gress should so enant in clear and distinct terms." Under Treasury circular No. 1, parties obtained ex- changes on the South by depositing old notes in New York and then new notes were sent to them. The circular has been so amended'that notes will only be returned to those from whom old notes are received. The object of this change is to retire the old legal ten- ders. Hereafter new notes willnot be retured forcer- tificates of deposits issued by the Assistant Treasurer and designated depositories. The new fractional currency will be forwarded from the Treasurer's office under a contract with the Adams Express Company, at the expense of the Department, within the district covered by contract. FROM NEW ORLEANJS. NEW ORLEA•S, Nov. 23.-The Picayune says the de- cision of the Eighth District Cirt which places the public State school money in tre hands of the ward school directors, giving them direct and immediate control of the various schools and the orders of the State Superintendent, issued under that decision, for the admixture of the races in our public schools will in- evitably destroy them. All that is now left to us is to bear the infliction as we bear an epidemic or pestilence. The Times is editorially severe on the State Super- intendent for consummating the admixture scheme in the public schools. NEw ORLEANS, NOV. 24.-Forty of the Baton Rouge riot prisoners have been unconditionally discharged, after fourteen days' imprisonment. There was not a particle of evidence to implicate them in the riot. NEw ORLEANS, NOV. 25.-The trial of the Donald- sonville rioters has commenced before Commissioner Weller and will last a week.

K. Smith, Parish judge elect, for subornation of Ferjury. FROM HAVANA. HAVANA, Nov. 24.-Salutes were fired in honor of Aosta's election. DeRodas to-day liberated 3000 ne. groes. The city is comparatively healthy. HAVANA. Nov. 25.-News of Aosta's election is quietly but favorably received. HAVANA, Nov. 26.-There is good authority for say- ing that telegraphic communication with Panama is established. Individual dispatches of this date passed from Panama to London. Recorder's Court. MONDAY, Nov. 21.-Sandy Carr, colored, paid $5 and costs for curse words and threats. Hutchings paid the same for the same offence after it was proven on him. He made many pleas of a no- ble family. A clean shirt would have improved his ap- pearance. M. Dolles said he was drunk and if he had done any wrong he was willing to pay. Three dollars and costs mended the moral gap. Another man took the same dose with the request that his name would not appear. Oh ! how modest. John Baker, colored, had too much benzine; wanted to fight everybody or any other man. Five dollars and costs and 24 hours took the fight out of him. Hannah Finley, alias Yaller Hannah, had a fight with another of her sort. A nice case. Five dollars and costs paid out. Simon Hudgings paid $3 for walking viciously into too much tangle foot. Hill Chapman, horse loose, paid $2. TUESDAY, NOA. 23.-There were but four cases, the particulars specially amounted to $93 for the city. WEDNESDAY, Nov. 23.-W. P. Williams, lying draak, $3 and costs. Jack McDaniel, disorderly conduct. The facts were that Jack had got into a " den" and was picked up in the lot. Dismissed. M. Hutchings, lying drunk, $3 and costs. Maria Galloway, disorderly, $3 and costs. Wm. Williams, disorderly, same fine and costs. TtiuRsnAY, Nov. 24.-This being Thanksgiving Day everybody kept quiet, like nice folks ought to. There was no court-no need of it. FRIDAY, Nov. 25.-The man who made the disturb. ance in the Theatre paid $7 50 and costs. Jack Kennedy, lying drunk, $3 and costs. The man who was fussy at the back part of the Theatre got $3 and costs. How COUNTERFEIT NOTES ARE MADE.-A party of men, say from three to a dozen get together and hold frequent meetings,and act according to a plan laid down. One or two will find out some copperplate printer in the employ of the Bank Note Company-in falct all such printers are known by the party. These men will manage to meet one of the printers in the evening, get acquainted with him, and drink, and have a good time generally with him and so proceed for a few even- ings. Then they offer him from fifty to one hundred dollars to procure a certain kind of impression. This impression is made in this wise: The printer will take an impression upon the foil from the plate from which he is printing, which can be done in a moment. Thus you see every line and size is obtained correctly. From this tin foil an electrotype plate is made. Then they engage some plate printer that can be found about the city, have a time with him, and engage him at twenty dollars per day to do the printing. By this plan thou- sands of copies are struck off which defy detection, except in the quality of the paper, which will slightly differ from the genuine. The place of manufactory is generally some distance from New York, like Staten Island, Flatbush, or sometimes Baxter streetor similar localities in that city. It is a strange fact, in every case where a party of this kind exists, thatevery mem- ber lacks confidence in his associates. Every smove made by one is narrowly watched by the others of the party. It would be death to an informant or spy that did not look well to himself. [Peterson's Detector. Here is a boy's composition on " The Horse:" "The horse is the most useful animal in the World. "So is the Cow. I once had thirteen ducks and two' was' drakes and a Skunk killed One. he smelt Orful. I knew a boy which had 7 chickens but His father weouald not let him raise Them so he got mad and so he bored a Hole in his mother's wash tub. I wish I had a horse a horse weighs 1,000 pounds." A citizen of Massachusetts, who is afflicted wRih ani unconquerable love of strong drink, has published the following advertisement in the papers: "Notice to Liquor Sellers! I hereby forbid all liquor and beeg sellers giving or selling me any liquor or beer if they do they may consider themselves responsible, because at another time I shall take legal procaudlags"agarSst them."

Extract from Gen. Sherman's report: "In the ex-amfuation of the reports herewith enclosed, I inviteyour attention to that recommendation of Gen. Hal-leck which refers to the use of troops in assisting the*

1 civil authorities in maintaining peacecglleeting reve-nues, &c., whichihas become so comnion. The dutiesof the soldiery in this connection are not prescribed soclearly by statute that the officers can understandtheir rights and duties; and the civil agents andauthorities often expect more than can be right-fully or lawfully done. I think the soldiers ought notto be expected to make individual arrests or to do anyacts of violence except in their organized capacity as aposse comitai•ts, duly summoned by the United StatesMarshal acting in his personal presence; yet, if it isdeemed lawful and proper that the soldiers should domore than this, I concur with Gen. Halleck, that Con-gress should so enant in clear and distinct terms."

How COUNTERFEIT NOTES ARE MADE.-A party ofmen, say from three to a dozen get together and holdfrequent meetings,and act according to a plan laid down.One or two will find out some copperplate printer in theemploy of the Bank Note Company-in falct all suchprinters are known by the party. These men willmanage to meet one of the printers in the evening,get acquainted with him, and drink, and have a goodtime generally with him and so proceed for a few even-ings. Then they offer him from fifty to one hundreddollars to procure a certain kind of impression. Thisimpression is made in this wise: The printer will takean impression upon the foil from the plate from whichhe is printing, which can be done in a moment. Thusyou see every line and size is obtained correctly. Fromthis tin foil an electrotype plate is made. Then theyengage some plate printer that can be found about thecity, have a time with him, and engage him at twentydollars per day to do the printing. By this plan thou-sands of copies are struck off which defy detection,except in the quality of the paper, which will slightlydiffer from the genuine. The place of manufactory isgenerally some distance from New York, like StatenIsland, Flatbush, or sometimes Baxter streetor similarlocalities in that city. It is a strange fact, in everycase where a party of this kind exists, thatevery mem-ber lacks confidence in his associates. Every smovemade by one is narrowly watched by the others of theparty. It would be death to an informant or spy thatdid not look well to himself. [Peterson's Detector.
