Look out for counterfeit Confederate bills !
--Two Confederate notes were rejected at the State Bank within the last few days as counterfeit--one a $5 and the other a $10 bill. The signatures, T. Ellett for Register, and H. H. Goodloe for Treasurer, when compared with the genuine, are at once discoverable.--The former, though approximating the genuine signature, is not in that almost copperplate neatness of Mr. Ellett's, besides the initials T. and E. are connected by the forger, while the original is never seen without a period after T. (as here printed) and entirely isolated from Ellett. Mr. Goodloe's signature is a free, distinct and neat running hand — the forger poorly imitates the initials and bunglingly cramps the name Goodloe. The forgery of both bills was evidently done by the same person. Extreme caution in examining the signatures, and particularly these two names, is necessary, when handling Treasury notes: A little vigilance and scrutiny may detect the offenders and bring them to punishment.-- Savannah Republican, 28th.
