Dodmtn In to Take his l'lara. One of the most important railroad changes that has occurred recently has just been made, and it will no doubt create considerable surprise. Superintendent Geo. R. Talcott, of the Charlotte, (Columbia and Augus ta, and Columbia and (Jreenvllle roads, has tendered lug resignation to the controlling company. Last evening it was uncertain d in an accidental way that Col. Talcott had resigned. The authority for the statement is the best, as it conies di rectly from a gentleman to whom Col. Talcott himself gave the inf r- niatlou. It isall the more surprising. 1 military career, it knows but littleof as Col. Tulcott had but a few day! '''a P'ivate life, and if we uiiiler ago declined to say whether the ru-jMl l,ld Mrs. Jackson's intentions mor that he intended to resign was i :ir'g't, the design of her work is to true or not His resignation will go more fully over this deficiency, t into effect on April lath. present his Iiome life to the world, He has been in the service of the ! incidentally embracing his military railroad company for eleven jmrs and has made a very i-fUcient officer. He is superintendent of the Coluin Ida and (Jreeuville, and Charlotte Columbia and A tigusta roads, as well dowed w ith rare attainments, jjfted as of the Chester aud Lenoir and'wilhthe ik-ii, the work which she i Cheraw and Chester narrow guage roads, having under his control about tC'-") miles of railroad. The cause of his resignation or his future move ments cannot lie ascertained. The Columbia Statesays that it is alinot certain that his successor is to be Capt. John A. Dodson, t e pre sent superintendent of the (eurgip, Carolina and Northern Kailroad, with headquarters at Abbeville. It was rumored last night that such uas the case, and that Superinten dent Dodson had already handed in j ins resignation to the management of his road. Mr. Dodson is a thor ough railroad man aud will, no 1 doubt, iiea worthy successor to Col. , Talcott. Col. Talcott's retirement ! from railroad circles means a great j loss to that business, j CapuThos. V. Whisnant, suerin tendeiit of the Carolina Central road, will succeed Capt. Dodson, as super intendent of the ( i. C. & N. The (i. C. A N. is a part of the tcahoai d ys- tem.and it is simply an extension of (apt. Whisiiant's authority.

The vignette of Hancock i tine its the original and the lettering and lathework is an exact c py uf the Tn usury note. In fact, the only difference is too minute to Ik- visible to the naked eve. In the upper lef. -hand and lower right hand corner of the genuine note is a figure 2 and on its face Is engraved in characters so minute that they ! are not leginle except under magni fying glass, the word "two" repeated three tunes. I u the counterfeit the i word ''two" is similarly engraved the same number of times, but in two cases the counterfeiter has made the letler- r ad "o t."'
