Spurious and Genuine Greenbacks. On inquiry at the United States Treasurer's office, to-day, it was ascertained that of the large amount of notes presented for redemp tion,, not more than from one and a half or two per cent., if so many, are counterfeit. The spurious notes are easily detected, and are promptly branded counterfeit with an iron constantly kept heated for that purpose. Of course the holders, and not the Treasury, bear the less. From to . one hundred dollars of such currency, of various denominations, is destroyed every day. No•knowledge of coun terfeit National Bank notes has come to the bureau,nor ot ones or twos ofrnited States cur rency. The latter denominations are, how ever, altered to represent higher amounts, and some photograph fives are in circulation, A tolerably wellexecuted five-dollar. note . re cently found its way to the redemption bureau, having been stamped: as counterfeit by an Eastern bank.

THE " SEODTH 9 > NOT WHIPPED YET THE "TOP OP THE REAP" HER NA- TIIBILL PLACE Dalt, Wisdom, and Whisky among De feated Demag4igues, NEW roux, August 11 • You are, perhaps, aware that New York has been all through the war, and is now, the headquarters of the disaffectedelement North, and the rebellious element South. Here in one Or two of the hotels—one of them particularly prominent as a meeting-place—most of the plans of tbe Copperhead campaigns have been concoctedcolleocteds most of the leriAers have found and counselled with each other; and most Of the sympathy evoked to be sent in words of pleasantness to the struggling malcontents of . the South. Just before the last Presidential campaign, all the money and discussions elm tred here, although Canada, Dayton, and Chi cage, at afferent times enjoyed the question able honor. Then, when the country was in its throes, sympathizers, cunning enough, but destitute entirely of the courage to evi dence their sympathy by their acts, congre gated here. Then there was hope among trai tors, and plots and cabals to bring success to a cause already referred to the arbitrament of battle. Now, not only the Sympathizers are here, but those for whom they sympathized. The cause has been referred to battle's arbi trament. The decision of battle, like the de cision of law and justice, long ago given, has been adverse. Sympathizers and defeated reb; ens now hobnob together in "secret and silence alone," comparing notes, gathering hope and mustering courage from each other's utter ances, to again " some of these days," attempt the verification of a fallacy, the compassing of au illlDOSSibinty. lrliAT A " 911ADOW" IS, AND WHAT /T There are three kinds of shadows—one fami liar to every one who walks in the light, and. every honest man does. Then there is the sha dow—a substantial one, too—once to be found on every Southern plantation, which rebels said had obscured the peace and the pros perity of the land. _And there is the third " shadow," which policemen are called, when, like avenging fate, they follow craftily and steadily in the footsteps of the malefac tor. Such a shadow I have met, have seen him for two or - three days, known where he went, Whom he - saav r what he had. said and heard, and, if 1 could get the reader to believe me, I have actually known what he felt and thought. Ife has been to the places where the gentry of whom I have spoken most do congregate,. and he has ga thered many filets, whielilie - has kindly placed at my disposal for the benefit of your read ers and every lover of Itioeountry. WHAT. "/T” SA33, Anybody who has ever passectup one of the finest streets of this metropolisy.be it at morn ing, at high noon, at evening, or far into the night, cannot help but noticethe - eollection of fine hotels that cluster in partienlar . spots, remarkable at once for their appearance, their comfort, their altitude both in build and prices. On the steps of at least two of them be will-see lank men, many.ofthen4 with dark faces and dark hair, and dark- eyesiwho smoke and lounge and lounge and smoke the live long day. Among them circulated rotund men, and round-faced men, and' men of all forms, sizes and dresses—oily men who glide around like snakes, gathering-ecaufort from sly interchanges of subdued • murmurings of treason. Enter Vie reception hail, and the same elassea of rden lounge in the diOans, or moodily read "Yankee" newspapers. They appear to have nothing to- de; . and, in deed, it has been remarked to me by the shadow friend of mine, that they have much the air of men reduced to poverty and now ex isting on the bounty or the .regard of their friends in the North. Their dress is none of the best. Most of them appear as it.' they' were wearing the suits that were in their-wardrobes four years ago, or were doffed to don Confede rate gray, There is a peculiar air about them that enables one in any way experienced in his observation of Southern men, to tell im mediately whence they came. Conquered though they be—malefactors, defeated at the last court to which they appealed—they swag ger as if they were victors, and,. among them- selves, at least, are as proud of having.belonged to the rebel or (as they call it,) tho."-Conlye drate Army," as if it were indeed .ars honor, and not a crime rendered doubly heinous by. defeat. A SINGLE EXAMPLE To show you a single " Southern mowd," as my "shadow" terms it, (only need totake his own words as be described_ one , to me : " Take," said he, "any ordinary crowd to base your idea upon; group them as -you will on the porch of a hotel, or dispose them, in a cir cle in a reading-room, an ante-room, a ;bar room, or anywhere else ; mix a Ibw young men, in striped clothes and broa&brimmed bats, the pattern which was affected by the whole rebel army, officers and soldiera alike; then put in a fats sturdy, old fellow in jean, with a broad smile on his face and a leer in his eye—a contrast quite to • the young men of sallow face and long Ilia, whohave yet the interest of the Confederacy at heart. And then insert a gw-bearded man impusty black, not exactly the centre of the gathering, or the one listened to, witli the most. attention, but the most noticeable to Northern t nyes, because the most venerable—and you have what is called a New York COnfederata crowd.' rut a few Northern men among _them, talkative, condoling fellows, who are continually talking of 'hope for the best,' and are arguing the best things fror.*:' a contbination.of, a great Demo• crane party•-in the future,' and, you have what I call, and. what most other people call, a complete -Confederate crowd." , Du yoll,never find such crowds in the bar "MOMS 7" we asked, " Oh, yea! very often," sal:the Shadow, who, by had a particulear object in being what hewas. "Of course you , find them in bar-rootea of course youdind them drinking, and talking, and hob-Lobbing, and embracing, while they guzzle the, favorite Southern drhilis,,whicia are never' whisky straight,' be cause such institutions= intended only for the tali ; while cobblePa' and 'amashes' are theapecial orders of thy• 'aristocrats. , " ,'sad where else do you: ice these crowds?'' 'They have their roftate confabs,' where. they discuss the full:lo4nd what they will try to make it for themselves." " Are these confaha,! as you call them, dia. ailed and earnest, Draw they merely eonversap tion for conversation's Raker "Well; no," amavered the shadow servations all compelled the belief that what I have called emfabs* were not so much eon labs' as the mere• dignified consultations. I am satisfied that where I have been I have seen and heart.bwhat will no loubt be thetpoli ey of the 'reonganized Democratic putty , in the coming tame, as well as the policy, of the defeated rebels, if they ever get an opportuni ty to carry ip into effect." "Ali!" Bald. we, surprised. "What rebels have you 44ppened to meet?" "I wouldr sot like to tell you their names," said he ;,'"but I can assure yOu the they were men of weight and influence—or influence during . the 'war, and of weight_ after it, for they were men who are, at home, both of po sition and intelligence." "'flays they been officers of Say rank in thu rebellion?" "'Most of them have, but they are not the only persons with whom I have met and con versed. There have been ISorthern men, too, and they have been ales.. of weight and in fluence, if not now, at least before the war, to the inception and continuation ofwhich they were such powerial contributors." " Well, of course, in your conversations, intit mate as they have been with there, You havo learned a great many important facts. Aron must be pretty well acquainted with their pre, sent sentiment% their. regard for the Gosrernf ment which has asserted its overmastering authority over them, and their intentions for the future. 'You know, of course, that I refer not only to the rebels defeated on the battle- Reid, but also to their sympathisers who were so overwhelmingly defeated at thehanot•hos.” lgtQw Alat Very . Itrolie , - uttacm . _ PHILADELPHIA, SATURDAY, AUGUST 12, 1865. Idled, and at length discovered to us what he knew. But of that in its logical order. WHO THY. REBELS AIM The " Shadow' , is reputed to be an intern tent gentleman, and in his intercourse with the prominent rebels, be has met here and associated with during the past three or four days, almost constantly, day and night, he has had an opportune of not only agreeing with all that was said, but of hearing'all that was to be said. There are many prominent rebels about here. Mrs. Davis and family, my friend was informed by Colonel Stewart, of her has baud's late staff, was stopping at the hotel in strict privacy, however, and few even of the sojourners at the hotel have been aware of it. Then there is ex-Senator Pugh; of Ohio, who has come to see some of his friends, and General Marmaauke, of Southwestern rebel fame, and General Granger and General Rey nolds.. Frank Gardener and Beale, who con jointly surrendered Port Hudson, are als here. with Major General Fagan, who distinguish ed (1) himself so much in the early part Of the .war ( 9 01_ and 1 63) in Arkansas. Among' the civilians who have been noticed at tile hotel are many prominent New York politi cians, including lawyers and business . men, who court the rebels partly from sympa thy and partly from interest—the others entirely from sympathy now, but interest in the far and uncertain future, Among the New York ClYillans was one man who, on Wednesday last, in an advanced state of ine briety, kept-assuring the few about him that he had been a consul once, but was now "thoroughly and forever with the Confede racy.ll Consul as lie was, and "loyal') to the South, it did not prevent him from being col lared by a stalwart and also inebriated brother, who essayed to take the consul's life, because the denounced him as a " d--d Yankee?' Another was an OX-Sheriff of New Orleans,. who: had been invited to - wave New Orleans as or abOut the time that General Butler assumed command of the captured city. There were others, both . military and civilians, but it will suffice to say that they were all prominent enough to warrant the assertion that what they say and what they think is a fair index of the thoughts and sayings of the radical secession element, both Worth and South. Now for • They are not whipped ! "Oh, no! We are not whipped," all chime—generals, civilians— Northerners, SOUtherhers, all; This no-whip. pad spirit is visible everywhere, If you even venture to insinuate that slavery is dead; that its death is a boon to the South; that Southern aspirations for power have all ceased; their short-lived flight forever shackled; all open on you with a fierceness, which, to use our friend's words, - made him doubt whether he was a Texan or not, for he was a Texan once. ANOTHER EXAMPLE. Take a ease in point, which will give an idea of their general conversation : A day or two Nip our friend—our shadowy friend—met two Confederate soldiers on Broadway, %Mile Walk• ing in company with the-colonel of a Georgia regiment. lie was introduced according to his proper rank, and soon was on good terms with the soldiers, who had served four years in the Confederate service, and were captured at last in the undoubtedly hard-fought battle at Fort Fisher. They were intelligent enough in their way, ordinary fellows, who had gone into the War young, and from instinct and pre.

They were glad as soldiers are, and as soldiers of a defeated and disbanded army Particularly are, to meet an °Meer in the old ranks ; one who had stood with them against the storm of "Yankee lead,' and struggled against Titanic Yankee charges. "Where have you been ?" asked our shar dotty friend. " We have just cum from- Elmira, sir," they answered," We was captoored at Font Fisher, (an elision of the r here, as in fort, and as al most all Southerners do,) whar we guy the Tankeesparticular " I am very glad to see ,polls" Said Shadow, "It was a battle well fought and well won." "Well fought on only one side, captain," said one of the men (a sergeant)- respectfully, " they drove us np into one corner of the fort, and then they plimped into us ; them Con necticut fellows did with their la.sliooters, and then we lryked out of the travusses and went eout towards Battery Buchanan. But we had to give into theyankee sons moaned the sergeant, regretfully. And our friend moaned, too. "Hut, do you knew," said the other solqicr, a corporal, both tnen•of the list south Varolina, "do you know," addressing our friend by his military title, " that: the hull thing isn't over yet. You're young enough,-;'and we're young enough yet, too, to try this thing over again; and, the next time,"' he exclaimed, winking.

They desarted, and hyked oft. See yere, ---,you know that If the COnfeyeduratea - had stuck together, thar wouldn't have been this yer tale to tell." " That's so," was the ready response. In company with the two Confeds, the four bent their way to what is called politely the refreshment room of a prominent hotel, used as a Democratic headquarters - fOr years. 'Here the toast proposed Dy trio Confederates them. selyes was: "Better luck next time ! it be soon ; we're all young enough yet !" A dashing or glasses, a gurglin". .zof cobblers, and energetic approving nods, ' showed how well the toast was appreciated... "Is 'that the opinion of all the Confeda. rates?" was the question. " Down whar I was we knew little and cared less. We'd have liked to be victorious, bat when we couldn't, we couldn't," wasthe sage remark, expressed in language suitable to the comprehension of the listeners; "It was the opinion among •nearly all the men in our regiment, wasn't itr asked the sergeant, addressing the corporal, / "Do yon know anything about 0.4, opinion of other regiments in your army?. (Lee's army.) What was the feeling among the 'tozescripts, especially?" asked the Shadow. • " Wall, we can't speak for that," replied the corporal, Courteously, following in a-seconda, ry way the lead of the corporal; e but if we know anything, we know that themtcrhats lost brothers and fathers like I hey, and like the sergeant has, and them whets lostrnoney and property, ain't going to give in for good if they can help it."

The quarrel attracted. .but little attention, for among the large gathering everybody was interested in the lificuliar QUestion of the South, and Southern.. everybodies were vis-a-vis with Southern nobadips—good.for nothing ex ceot for the miseliWthey are trying to corn.: pass.

So much for t*e talk of the privates, and they were not the only ones who spoke the same way whom the Shadow met. WHET THE OFFICERS BAIL Is Italia I Jim; how do you dot" said a tan man, 'with a V@ l 4 Wet itti 110 Eudlcd WV? filict the back taverns peculiar in New York, de posited a huge portmanteau, and cordially saluted the bartender. Male 1 why Pm glad to see you 1" was the equally cordial response. This back tavern lay between two hotels, which divide the honor of entertaining ex rebel guests, "Jim, I've been four years at work, and bet ter work I never did, by said Maio, proudly. The Shadow was introduced,lind in a long conversation, "Maio" boasted of the prowess ,Of Lee's army, and the likelihood there was, if fortune and justice (F) favored, of that work being done over again. Bennington's brigade was what the "I.htje" belonged to, and "it was in Fields' division, and it was the best brigade and the best division that any good man and good Confederate ever could want to belong in—that was so." He was going to Georgia, and he belonged thar," and he was going to stay " thar" until he was wanted again- All this time he was busily enghged arranging it all. And - when he had finished he called all in the room, ( who were only the Shadow, and a pale, sallow, turtle-backed Arkansas man,) to have a drink. The drink taken,he again announced his allegiance to the onfederacy, and left for the State which Sherman overrun, just because it was a part of that Confederacy. 140 Mr. Editor, this officer's Opinion about his being " whipped," was the opinion of every officer he met ; and we can show to you that many were of influence, and of high degree. "They were not whipped"—only subduedfor a time—ready to springup again as soon as their friends in the North regained poWer and again Controlled the important working branches of the GoVernment. And how were these friends to gain the important working branches? There is WO ANOW'ZII YET Just for that very purpose is all the Caucus ing now going on in this" metropolitan" city. Just for that very purpose do ex-Senators, and Consuls,and high and mighty men generally, in the emocratic ranks, hob-nob and drink, and' lay up big bills, to hotel-keepers here, who " are noted for their devotion to Southern principles."' And now, HOW DO THEY 00 ADOPT ITI Just as we have been telling. From all parts of the South are coming prominent people, who journey hithet to lay heads together, compare notes, and decide on a course of action'. Now, their course of action has boell pretty well chalked out, but of course will be modified by ciremustances., There is. a class who are willing to sup port negro suffrage for policy's 'sake. They support it because, as they argue, (and by they is meant Northern prominents as as well as Southeru,) nothing will sooner dis gust the voting population of the North than tacit equality with negroes, inconsiderable and contemptible in character North, and brutish and miserable South. Besides, they continue, there is every - likelihood of blank men getting into Congress—then a free tight in the "Government circles; , then, "Hurrah for the Confederacy:" Shadow saw many of this class, among others.an old, white-headed man, of facile tongue and fossil ideas. Another class intend opposing negro suf frage, hoping that it will find enough support among the white 'prejudice in the North to " divide the dominant party," and give them an opportunity of riding into power. These two *Classes exist jUst now, but may merge as has been stated, uniting on one or the other of the planks. But these two planks have not yet been put in the platform, because the political carpen ters have not yet decided on their relative strength. ABPIITYLATION Their last plank is " - repudiation." " Do you suppose" said the Northern-South. ern et, and the Southerners proper. to Shadow, "Do you suppose that if we once get power in Congress, we are going to vote for the payment of money used in conquering us!" "Of course not," says everybody, and every body seems totake for granted that the debt never will be paid, because if the " Seouth" failed in the dell, it hag "hrainS" enough to overmatch the royal North .in the council halls.

The fair-haired marg , had sidled up from a knot of politicians atrthe farther end of the hall in which the lennge was placed, and appeared anxious to talk with the gentleman he supposed was from the South. "You are from the south, I suppose I" with a Patronising . yet a fr . iendly air.

Soldiers in Need of Employment. DEMONSTRATION IN NEW YORK YBSTRIMAY 'The New York Post of yesterday, says; A demonstration of Soldiers, sailors, and other persons was made to-day under the an spices of the "Metropolitan Employment Agency," °Thee, No. US Canal street. A. pro cession, which was intended to march to the City Mail, to Wall street, and through various streets in the city, formed at that °Mee this forenom.under the direction of Colonel Her• man and others. The Metropolitan Agency, which was estab lished to get employment for soldiers and sai lors, is under the ostensible management of a committee. The names of the members of this committee, printed on the posters, are. C. Godfrey Gunther, Mayor j Mat'WV' T. Brennan, Comptroller Charles G. Cornell, Street Com missioner, and ether city officials. THE PLAN OF THE PROCESSION. The programme of the procession was made at the agency, and was set forth in two set of resolutions, - which were read to meetings of the eo)diet% at the agency office and approved by them. The movement, the resolutions stated and repeated, was entirely peaceful in its aims, and the soldiers were seeking only to direct the attention of the public towards them, so that they might obtain employment, to which their services in behalf of their court. try ought to entitle them. The soleters hear tily applauded the name of General Hooker, voionwo THE pßoczeStox—ntE BANNERS The procession was to move promptly at nine o'clock this morning, from No. 13S Canal street, and at that hour between two and three hundred men were assembled in the street, near the office. Shortly after nine o'clock men were sent after some banners. Six of the ban ners were soon on the ground. They bore the following inscriptions "We are now soldier citizens, with our head quarters at the Metropolitan Employment Agency, En. 185 Canal street. "We represent thousands of brave dis charged soldiers and sailors now asking for work and bread." "Our latest employers and referent:lea are Grant, Sherman, Sheridan, Meade, Hooker, Hancock, and others." "Our last occupation was the destruction of the rebellion and the re-establishment of the Union with the modern improvements.." "Give us employment to support our fami lies., “ Wanted—A definition of the republican form of Government. Answer—National gratitude towards those who have save; the Republic.” When the soldiers saw these banners they expressed their admiration of them. At ten o'clock the crowd bad increased to five hundred persons, and the SOldiers who were to carry the banners and the flags had taken their places in the street. ARRIVAL OF TEIE BAND• , --T RIC FROCKS B lON MOVING At half-past twelve o'clock the band of the 4th Regular regiment arrived in Canal r street. The drums beat, the banners reappeared, and the soldiers who were in the vicinity came from various places, and formed in procession. They numbered two or three hundred.

The New Uric Express of last evening says About half-past one o'clock on Thursday afternoon, Special Detective John'll. McCarty, of the Twenty-ninth precinct, proceeded to the office'of Smith, Martin_, Co., No 3 Wan street, and arrested John H. Earle, on a charge of being concerned in the Plicenix Batik defal cation. Earle made no denial of his compli city, hut at 01100' proceeded with the officer to the bank. fiere, in presence of John Me- Keone, Esq., and the bank officers, he confess ed to having received $lOO,OOO from - Jenkins. The first money he received was $50,000, which he supposed to be the property of Jenkins. When he received the second *50,000, he knew it had been purloined from the bank. On being interrogated as to what had become of the money, Earle said it bad all been invested and sunk in stocks. Earle was then taken and locked up in the Twenty-ninth-precinct sta tion-house. - - - - Acting upon information received from Earle, Officer DicCarty proceeded, at haMpast ten o'clock last night, to No. 159 Bleecker and arrested a stylish-looking woman, callinther self Mrs. Brown, but whose real name is• enc. vieve Brower. She was Jenkins' mistress, and becoming conscious of his position and defal cations, she, it is alleged, worked upon Jen kins, fears till she blackmailed him of nearly $15,000, besides a house full ofuostly furniture. About an hour after, the same officer arrested Charles Brown, said to be the kept man of Mrs. Brown, and who, as was charged by Earle, helped herin her blackmail operations: Pre vious to these arrests, Earle had been. con veyed to the station-house, searched, and •everything taken from him. About one o'clock Brown was put in a cell by McCarty, who at the same time saw Earle and asked him.how he> felt. Earle said pretty well, and thought he wouldgo to sleep. The officer then Did him , good night, Earle'' last good night on earth. About half-past seven' o'elock, McCarty pro. seeded to' the station-house for the purpose of fetching his prisoners to the Jefferson Market Police Court. He sent the . doorman down to • fetch them up. ln a short time he returned, saying thathe could not rouse Earle. McCarty rushed downstairs, and, placing his hand on Barlo'F heart, found. that it had Ceased , to throb, and his pulse Was motionless. On rais gip the prisoner, the blood gushed from a Ikrge orifice in the neck. On the floor of the VliftiarAttri n n tigrEVlTUarnree. quar ters of an inch; and of the kind known as a lady's pocket-knife. This instrument, it is supposed; Was concealed on the inside of the lower lip, and Earle rushed to meet his Maker about four o'clock, as the doorman saw him awake about three. The deceased was deter mined on his death; he first cut a hole near thejugular vein, and pushing the knife in, worked round and round till he made a hole in his neck about the size of a quarter of a dollar. As soon aS death was ascertained, the body was removed to an upper floor, and the coroner notified, and thus ends one phase, and probably the most tragical, in this bank case. The Pod says: The clerks remained at the bank until a late hour last night, examining the amounts of that institution, but no further errors were discovered. The persons employed in the hank say that Jenkins was a warm-hearted, generous Man, who was always at his desk, and unusually attentive to his duties. He was the first man at the bank in the morning, and the last to leave at night. One of the most singular facts connected with his crime, is that he was very economical, dressing plainly, and wearing no jewelry, He was never known to lead ft AMA life, or dissipate in any manner. The cashier of the Phenix Bank believes to. day that the defalcation will amount to a 9.75,000. The bank has a surplus fund of V 270,000, besides the earnings of the past six months, which, apart from the July dividends, are considerable. WAIFS FROM THE SOUTH.
