Wc would call tlic attention of our readers to the card of Col. Blandon Duncan, who has recently established himself in the city of Columbians an Engraver and Priutcr of Bank Notes. The following extract wc publish with pleasure, from the Carolinian of a late date : " Wo have taken a walk through Col. Dun can's engraving establishment, and find it one of the most complete that could be conceived of. In fact, we arc assured that, in capacity and facilities for transacting business, it is only surpassed by Lcmcrcier's, in Paris. It is gratifying to know that it will be permanently located here, as such an establishment must necessarily add to the prosperity of a city. Col. Duncan was the first man in Kentucky, though Chairman of the Bell and Everett State Committee, to make a secession speech after the election of Lincoln, and was the first man, also, to lead a regiment to Virginia?ten days after the fall of Sumter. For his defence of South Carolina, ngainst the stinging, sneering assaults of the blackguard, Geo. D. Prentice, of the Louisville Journal, lie should be warmly ?.?l . i i- ii.:_ u_ 1 - > hui^uiijcm us u ciuz.cn ui hi is muic, who lias preferred principle to disgraceful safety and wealth in his former homo. The establishment which, contending against every obstacle, he has finally succeeded in fixing upon a firm foundation, consists of twentyfour presses at present. Eight additional printers arrived upon the llerald, who were sent for in May to Liverpool, and six others will shortly arrive from Paris, when the number of presses at work will be thirty-eight. The engravers and other persons connected with the establishment have been selected from the best 1 ./ .1 /-VI 1 i*r 11 II / suops oi uie uiu worm, regardless ot expense, and the character and style of the \Grk to be done will give satisfaction to the most exacting. As our signal victory near Richmond will probably lead, before many months, to a restoration of peace, every preparation is now being made by Col. Duncan to procure all the necessary supplies and materials to meet the demand which may then arise from the various States, banks, corporations, <fcc., upon the resumption ot business in its old channels. With the whole force working, 200,000 notes 4?ily, could be struck oft', so that prompt execution of or ders will necessarily follow. Heretofore, nothing has been done by him except for the Government, aud their wants will, of course, be first supplied. When peace dispenses with that necessity, the entire South can be attended to here. Secession in Maryland.?A Baltimore cor. respondent of the New York Post, under date of the 29th ult., says; I aui sorry to announce that the situation of things here is not comfortable. The fact i? undeniable, that the Legislature of the State, largely Union, accordiug to the meaning of the word, when elected, sympathizes so deeply with secession as to make it dangerous to the pubic safety to be convened. The second branch of the City Council has finally rejected the ordinance of the first branch $300,000 to help recruiting volunteers for Maryland's quota, notwithstanding the law gives them full power to borrow money and appropriate it for the purpose of defence. The true Union men arc becoming very intolerant of the patience shown by the Government to the rebels, and there is no tellinc whither thev will drift. And to add w y to tlic confusion, the pro-slavery Unionists aro making war upon the anti-slavery Unionists. Penalty for Passing Counterfeit Confederate Notes.?The Penalty for passing counterfeit Confederate notes is death. An act of the last session of the Provisional Congress provides this punishment for this crime during the existence ef the present war between 1 the Confederate and the United States, and until within one year after the ratification of a peace. The same penalty applies in the case of altering or passing any altered Treasury note of the Confederate States. 1 Vicksburg Intelligence. The Vicksburg Whir/, of the 29th ult., say* I the infernal Federals have left for parts un-j known. The lower fleet departed on Thursday, | and the upper one on Friday, both satisfied of the impossibility of taking the "Mississippi snag," as they have termed Vicksburg. liefore leaving, the unner fleet. dismantled tlm <rtm. o t ~ * ii" " * """" """v ; boat which the Arkansas sunk and then set fire to her. A Hat boat containing some coal ? > and which grounded near the mouth of Yazoo River, was also consigned to the flames by the enemy. The fleet above Yicksburg numbered thirty-three boats, besides coal and ice barges. The Yankees burned over five hundred of their men during their stay, and so great was the sickness among them that ontofone entire bri- I gado only three hundred men could be mustered for duty. The casualties in the city from thes hells amount to the killing of one ladv o v and one negro man. Among the soldiers at the batteries and on guard, the killing will amount to somg fifteen or twenty and a few wounded. The Whiff is boastful over the achievements at Yicksburg, butVhe people of the ConfcdcT racy, and especially of Mississippi, will not think it too much so. I^atosl from I lie Xorlli. Grenada, Miss., August 9.?The Memphis Bulletin, of the 7th inst., says that the Confederates have inaugurated guerilla warfare in Arkansas on an extensive scale, and mentions several brilliant exploits of our men. On Sun- > day they attacked two Yankee rerdinents. dU-1 ~ o ? pcrsing them completely, and capturing siffty wagons of provisions and over three hundred stolen negros twenty-seven of whom escapedThe .wine, day they bagged another paity near j Jacksonport, killing seventeen Yankees, and | capturing twenty wagons of provisions. Ninety more of the cnemv were attacked near Ilellena, and nearly annihilated, only two escaping. The Memphis correspondent of the Chicago Times says that Curtis refused to obey Grant's order to go to Vicksburg, unless he was ordered to do so from Washington direct Curtis says that a four weeks' campaign before Vicksburg would reduce his army by one half, as it did Com. Davis' fleet, and that bofore the summer was over he would not have a man left. The Governor of New York lias ollicially announced his determination to draft. A serious rebellion is reported among the Mormons, which, it is feared, will result in a war with the Federal Government. An attack on Pope or McClcllan is momentarily expected from Stonewall Jacksou. McClellan has issued orders to be ready at a moment's notice. Pope's army advanced from Warrenton on the 1st inst. The Fedoral Government demands an explanation from Franco regarding the presence of a formidable French fleet in American waters. New York will draft after the 18th inst., and Ohio after the 15th nst., if the quota of troops is not raised before that time. An immense war meeting was held at Milwaukic, Wis., on the 30th of July. Fifty thousand persons were in attendance. The railroads in the State passed all persons free for the occasion. All business in the place was suspended. Resolutions were passed recommending the drafting of A million of men! j 1 Numbers of men are leaving St. Louis for the 1 Southern army, to avoid the Northern draft* ! Arrests have been made there on the ckargo ' of disloyalty. 1 Back of Cape Girardeau, Mo., the Confede- J rates have a Wisconsin regiment surrounded. 1 There was fighting at Bloomfield Mo,?con- i tinucing for three days. An additional force 1 has been sent from Cairo, 111., to the assistance > of the Yankees. Memphis despatches of July 30, state that j Gen. Bragg has a force of 80,000 men, and < that Memphis is threatened. It is expected * that obstructions to navigation will be cstab- j lished in the Mississippi river, above Memphis, j A Federal gunboat fleet will patrol to keep the river open. . c Fight in Mo*lorn Virginia. LynCiiduk?, Va., August 9.?Their was a skirmisti at Ulack's lorry, on Wednesday last, between Gen. Loring and tlio enemy. It is reported tbat a number of tbe enemy Weic killed and wounded, without any loss on our side. Tbe fiijht was altogether with artillery. O ~ m The enemy evacuated their position after burnt.heir boats and destroying their stores. Gen. Loring crossed tbe river in pursuit of them, and a fight was anticipated on Thursday or Friday last.. A despatch from the Narrows of New River, Va., August 8th, contradicts tbe reported escape of Dr. Buckncr, the spy. lie was still in custody; and so heavily ironed as to render escape impossible. Important from Missouri. Grenada, Miss., August 9.?The St. Louib (Mo.) Republican, of August 4th, has becu received here. It says that the rebel guerillas have taken complete possession of Missouri and arc daily growing into a vast army. Nearly 90,000 of them have crossed the Missouri liiver, under Porter and Joe Thompson, cleaning the llomc Guards and Militia out as they progress. They are raising a number ot recruits for the Confederate army. Six hundred men have turned up at Bird's Point, threatening Cairo, where there is but a small garrison. Governor Uamblc (bogus (Governor) finds it impossible, under the circumstances, to get the militia to respond to his call, and has issued another i*oportant appeal to them to rally, complaining <?l their apathy in the Federal cause. From Kiioxvillc. Knoxville, August 8.?No official report of the particulars of the battle of Tazewell has yet been received. It is ascertained, however, ^bat the enemy occupied a strong position on a high ridge, which was carried by assault. The enemy's force engaged comprised three bri y o o i gades, numbering 6,000 men. Our loss turns out to be not so heavy as was reported. Other movements aro expected shortly. - , From Cliattaiio<rg;< 0*iattanoooa, August 8.?Cavairy skirmishes are constantly reported. On Monday last Scott's Cavalry made a dash on 400 Federal? near Sparta, Tenn., and pursued them until they came to a superior force; they then retreated, leaving the Yankees in possession of Sparta. Federal deserters arc constantly coming in, they report the Yankee army as much demoralized, and say that they will not tight in conjunction with the negros. From Richmond. KiciimoND, August 8.?The Federals have quit Malvern Hill. Their movement in that direction was only a feint and rcconnoissancc to corcr the trausfer of their troops aeross the river. The enemy have also falien back on the South side of the river, aud are now entrenching at Coggin's Point and below. Three members of Cobb's Legion were takeu prisoners at Malvern Ilill: Stovall and Hearing of Augusta, fift.. and one ntbrr wlinsn nnmo. is unt. rpnnrfpd. ?Savannah Republican. I>cstrnotion of the Ram 4rkansai. Richmond, August 8.?A despatch from Gen. Van Dorn to Secretary Mallory states that the Confederate ram Arkansas, Lieut. Stevenson, commanding, lias been destroyed. She left Vicksburg on Monday, to co-operate in the attack on Raton Rouge. After passing Bayou Sara, her machinery became deranged* when attempting to adjust it, several gunboats attacked her. After a gallant resistance, she was abandoned and blown up. The officers *nd crew reached the shore in safety. Pleasing Intelligence.?We understand diat the steamer Kate has arrived at a Confedjrate port with full cargo of just what we want. $hc has been absent only two weeks, and has carried full cargos both ways. This is, we beievc, the tenth or twelth oyage the Kate las made, running the blockade successfully very time. Wc wish her a loDg continuance >f success.
