Counterfeit. --The editor of the Mobile Register has been shown a counterfeit Confederate note, of the new issue, of the denomination of $100. It is lettered "D, " dated Richmond, February 17, 1864, and signed "T. L. Grayson, for Register," and "J. D. Walford, for Treasurer." The counterfeit is easily detected; the whole bill being fully an eighth of an inch smaller than the genuine, and the letters and figures being necessarily contracted. The impression on the spurious note is also much heavier and blacker. We are informed there is a considerable number afloat, supposed to have been sent out from New Orleans, showing that our Yankee neighbors have at least enough faith in the value of our currency to continue their efforts to counterfeit it. It would be well if some of our own people could be inspired with more confidence in it.

he purchase of the article by his Government. The exemption bill. The following is the exemption bill finally agreed upon by the two Houses of Congress, and which now only awaits the approval of the President to become the law. It concerns and interests a great many people: "a bill to Diminish the Number of Exemptions and Dewills. The Congress of the Confederate States of America do enact, That so much of the 'act to organize forces to serve during the war,' approved February 17, 1864, as exempts one person as overseer or agriculturist on each farm or plantation upon which there were, at specified times, fifteen able-bodied field hands between the ages of sixteen and fifty, upon certain conditions, is hereby repealed, and said persons, shall be liable to military service upon the expiration of the time for which they secured exemption by reason of having executed bonds for one year from the date thereof: Provided, That exemptions of persons over forty-five years of a

aled at the present session.--Tanners, shoemakers, millers, blacksmiths, telegraph operators, and workmen in mines, enumerated by the President as among the classes exempted, are not now, and have not been since the passage of the act of 17th of February, 1864, exempted as a class. If railroad officers and employees, and State officers, who are not constitutionally subject to conscription, be excluded, the classes now exempted east of the Mississippi river embrace about nine thousand men--one-ejected by Congress. This is evidently a mistake, as it assumes there has been an increase of taxes on other than agricultural incomes. The present income taxes are those laid by the act of April, 1863, as amended and re-enacted on the 17th of February, 1864. To require the agriculturist to pay a tax on the income derived from his farm in addition to the one tenth of his gross productions, and the property tax of nine per cent. ad valerous, would be manifestly unjust and oppressive.
