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

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.

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

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.

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
