Extraordinary Meeting ok Nr
croeö Near Mobile . —Upon the tes
timony of a» old citizen who was
present we liave to report the pro
ceedings of a very extraordinary
meeting of'negroes, which took place
on Sunday, near this city, in the
direction of l)og River. Nine hun
dred of them assembled to consider
their condition, their rights and du
ties under the new wtate of existence
upon which they have been so sud
denly launched. Our informant was
surprised at the hard, practical sense
and moderation of tone with which
the spokesmen of the meeting urged
their views- After long talk aud
careful deliberation, this meeting re
solved by a vote of seven hundred
voices to two hundred, that they
had made a practical trial for three
months of the freedom which the war
had. bequeathed to thern—that its
realities were far from being so flat
tering as theirjimagination had paint
ed it—that they had discovered that
the prejudices of color were by no
means confined to the people of the (
South ; but on the contrary, that it
was stronger and more marked
against them in the strangers of the
North, than in the home people of
the South, among whom they had
been reared ; that negroes, no more
than white men, could live without
work, or be comfortable without
homes ; that their Northern deliver
ers from bondage had not, as they
had expected aud been taught to ex
pect, undertaken to provide for their
happy existence in their new state of
freedom ; and that their old masters
had ceased to take any interest in
them or have a care for them ; and
finally, that their "last state was
worse than the first," and it was
their deliberate conclusion that their
true happiness and well-being re
quired them to return to their homes
which they had abandoned in a mo
ment of excitement, and go to work
again under their old masters. And
so the resolutions were passed, and
at last accounts the wanderers were
packing up their little stock of mova
ble goods, preparatory to the execu
tion of their sensible purposes.—

How lo Detect Counterfeits.
1. Examine the appearance of a
bill—the genuine have a general
dark, neat appearance.
2. Examine the vignette, or pic
ture in the middle of the top, see if
the sky or back ground looks clear
and transparent, or soft and even,
and not scratchy.
3. Examine well the face; see if
the expressions are distinct and
easy, natural and life-like, particu
larly the eyes.
i. See if the drapery or dress fits
well, looks natural and easy, shows
the folds distinctly.
5. Examine the medallion, ruling
and heads, and circular ornaments
around the figures. See if they are
regular, smooth and uniform, not
scratchy. This work, in the genu
ine, looks as if raised on the paper,
and cannot be perfectly imitated.
6. Examine the principal line of
letters or name of the bank. See if
they are all upright, perfectly true
and even ; or if sloping, of a uniform
slope.
i. Carefully examine thejshade
or parallel ruling on the lace or out
side of the letters ; see if it is clear
and looks as if colored with a
brush. The fine parallel lines in the
genuine are of equal size, aud
smooth and even ; counterfeits look
as if done with a file.
8. Observe the round handwri
ting engraved on the bill, which
should bo black, equal in size and
distance, of a uniform slope, and
smooth. This is, in genuine notes
invariably well done, and looks
very perfect. In counterfeits it is
seldom so, but ofteu looks stiff, as
if done with a pen.
9. Notice the imprint of the en
graver's name, which is always
near the border or end of the note,
and is always alike ; letters small,
upright, and engraved very perfect
ly. Counterfeiters Beldotn do it
well.
N ote .—It was remarked by Ste
phen Burroughs, before he died,
that two things could not be coun
terfeited—one was the die work, or
portrait, medallion heads,|vignette,
and the other standing or ruling
above the letters.— Noir Re

ThelUcDonoffh Monument at Balti
n ore.
The Baltimore Snn of Tuesday
says :
"The magnificent monument re
cently erected in Greenmount ceme
tery to the memory of John Mc
Douogh, embracing a life-sis«} statue
in marble, was formally dedicated
yesterday. It consists of a mass
ive granite base, supporting a ped
estal of marble 14 feet high, upon
which is reared the statu«, execut
ed by Mr. Randolph, of this city.—
Upon the front side of the pedestal
is the following inscription :
Sacre 11 to the M emory of
. John MoDonogH,
Born in this city Dec. 29th , 177Ö.
D'ed in tlie town ofMcDonogli,State ofLa.,
Oct. 25th, I860,
Written by himself.
Hero lie« tlio body of John MeDonogh,
of the city of Mew Orleans, in the State of
Louisiana, one of the Unite'! States of
America ; the son of John and Elizabeth
MoDonogh, of Baltimore, in the State of
Maryland, also ono of the United States ot
America, awaiting in firm and full iaith
the resurrection aud this coming of his glo
rious Lord, Kedeemer aud Master, to judge
the world.
On the loft side are carved the rulos for
my guidance in life ia 1804 :
keinem ber that, labor is one of the con
ditions of our existence. Time is gold ;
throw not on# minute away, but place each
one to account. Do unto all men as you
would wi~h to bo done by. Never bid an
other to do what you can do yourself.—
Never covet what is uotyourown. Never
think any matter so trivial as not to des
erve notice. Never give out that which
does not fir*t eonio in. Never bond but
to produce. Lot the greatest order regu
late the transactions of your life. Study
in your life to do the greatest amount of
food.
On the right is the following :
Deprive yotirsolf of noth ng neooBsary to
your comfort, btitlivein an honorable sim
plicity and frugality. Labor, then, to the
last, moment of your existence- Pursue
strictly the above rules, aud the divine
blessing and riche* of every kind will flow
upon you to your heart's content; but, iirst
of all romomber that the chief and great
study of your life should be to tend, by all
the means ill your power, to the honor
and glory of the Divine Creator.
JOHN McDONOGH.
New Orleans, March 2, 1804.
The conclusion to which I have
arrived is, that without temperance
there is no health, without virtue
no order, without religion no happi
ness, and the sum of our being is,
to live wisely, soberly aud right
eously.
These inscriptions were copied
from the monument which Mr. Me
Donogh had prepared under his own
supervision, and which is now
standing in the town of MeDonogh,
opposite New Orleans, where lies
most of th# property bequeathed by
the testator to the oity for benevo
lent purposes. The reverse of the
monument bears an inscription set
ting forth that it was "erected by
the constituted authorities of the
cities of Baltimore and New Or
leans."
I njure not thk S ight .—An ex
change, in an article treating upon
the " Preservation of the Eyes," has
the following, which we quote for the
consideration of our readers,—par
ticularly of young men :
" Many become short-sighted at an
early age, constitutionally or by
sickness ; or by imposing too much
labor upon these wonderful organs.
In health the eyes will undergo much
fatigue, but they are as capable of
being overtaxed as the arms or other
limbs. Much reading or writing by
artilicial light is very trying to the
eyes, especially if the light is un
steady, too brilliant, or too weak. A
good full light, shaded with a light
blue globe, is the best to read or
write with during evening hours.
Upon no considérai ion should a man
read more than four hours at once by
artificial light, and he should give
his eyes ten minutes rest after lie has
read two hours ; this is the experi
ence we have gathered from not a
few persons.
"Those who are blessed with
strong eyes should not overtax them,
as many zealous students do by too
much night study, or as some mer
chants do by too much night writ
ing. There are instances on record
of a sudden loss of sight by strong
men, who had read and written by
lamp light as if their eyes would
never fail, and their vision never
lose its power. The celebrated Eu
lor lost his eye-sight by an im
prudent night's study, in some of
his mathematical calculations. The
smoke of lamps is very hurtful to the
eyes, hence a good circulation of air
is its necessary for the eyes as for
the lungs. The Seal/pel asserts that
it is injurious to wash the eyes by
dipping the face in a basin and open
ing the eyes in the water, and re
commends cold tea or milk and water
for bathing the eyes in preference to
water itself. A very weak solution
of sulphate of zinc is excellent for
bloodshot or surface inflamed eyes;
we have never known it to fail in
effecting a cure in a few days."
JBärMrs. Jeff Davis has applied to
President Johnson for permission to
visit her husband at Fortress Monroe.
Her request has not yet been granted.
