In a number of communications to the Marysville Democrat, over the signature of “Henry Jacob,’ he took occasion to make some sweeping charges about the immoralities of the mining communities in general, and of the one in which he lived in particular. When his communications were received at La Porte, according to his own account, a conspiracy was formed to mob him, but receiving timely notice of what was going on, he prudently took himself outof the town. McKinley is the same person who undertook to give Shaksperian readings in this place, and aflerwards set up for a poet, but not being very successful in these occupations he migrated to La Porte. We had lost the run of him, until he turned up recently asa newspaper correspondent. His charges of drunkenness and rowdyism in the mines have no existence except in his imagination. —— Tuanxsaivine.—Gov. Weller has issued a proclamation, appointing Thursday, the 25th inst. asa day of thanksgiving and prayer. The same day will be observed throughout most of the other States of the Union. The Governor says: “And Ido earnestly invoke the good people of this State, abstaining from all secular pursuits, to assemble in their respective places of worship, and with sincere and contrite hearts to offer up thanks to the Supreme Ruler of the Universe for the manifold blessings con. ferred upon us during the past year, and humbly and fervently supplicate Him that he will continue usa free, prosperous and united people.” Commutation or Sentences.—The three Justices of the Supreme Court, in answer to a question propounded by Gov. Weller, have given their opinion in writing, that the Governor can constitutionally commute a sentence. It has been held by some, that according to the wording of the Constitution, the Governor could exercise the pardoning power only, and could not if a man was sentenced to be hanged, let him off with a term of imprisonment. The Supreme Judges, however, hold that the Governor bas the power not only to commute a sentence, but also to annex conditions to a pardon. CLoraixe ar Averion.—We direct attention to the large and extensive sale of clothing &c., at the store of J. B. Newman & Co., Broad street, on Saturday next, Nov. 13th. It is perhaps the largest stock of clothing ever put up at auction in this market. The extent and variety of the assortment will afford all an opportunity to clothe themselves at a mere nominal price, ‘Uncle Ike,’’ auctioneer. Scrip Issvep.—At the late session of the Board of Supervisors, scrip was issued to the amount of $10,760 46, on the following funds ; General fund,.. ceccceess $5,824 40. SPECIAL TONG. 2. i ccceneccs MOOR OB Indingeut sick fund.. net Et on! unum «mitch seveess $10. 760 46 Lapirs Party.—The ladies of Grass Valley have made arrangements to give a party on Thureday evening, the 18th inst., at Hamilton Hall. The party is given for the benefit of the Episcopal Church of that place, and an invitation to attend is extended to the citizens of Nevada and surrounding towns, RerurneD From Fraser.—John O'Brien, who was among the ‘first to leave this section for Fraser river, returned to Nevada last week. He agrees with all other returned F raserites, that the mines of that country are a grand humbug. At the present time there are probably not over 5000 Californians in British Columbia, anda large portion of these will be back to this State before the first of next month. Foor Race.—The great foot race so long talked of, between *‘Johnny Gildersleeve”’ and the “Mountain Buck,” for $50 a side, will come offnext Saturday afternoon, at “Uncle Natty’s’’ Race Track, one-fourth of a mile from town, on the old Washington road. Returnep.—Dr. Harvey Hunt and Joseph Todd, old citizens of Nevada, were among the passehgers of the steamer Sonora. They return with the intention of making California their permanent homes. . Ricu Quarrz.—A quartz lead of almost fabulous richness, was discovered last week at Timbuctoo, Yuba county. Within two or three days, about $5,000 worth of quartz was taken out. ‘ Eastern Parers.—We are indebted to J. W. Sullivan, the enterprising agent for all the “leading Eastern papers and magazines, for a large package of papers, received by the mail steamer Sonora. Tur mail steamer Sonora sailed for Panama Nov. 5th, with 300 passengers and $2,251,858 in treasure. Acquirrep.—Richard Galway, accused along with Michael Murray, of the murder of Daniel Sweeney, in Sierra county, was tried before the District Court at Downieville last week, and acquitted, J. Wine Ouiver, Esq., bas assumed the editorship of the Yreka Chronicl. Mr. Oliver has been connected with the mountain press of this State for some years, and is well known as a vigorous writer. ; Favors.— We are under obligations to Geo. Welch, of the Alia Express, for furnishing us with San Francisco and interior exchanges. J. E. Hamlin bas our thanks for late Atlantic papers received by the Sonora. To Jno. Pattison; of Langton’s Express, we are indebted for Downievitle papers. The Woshin n Uni with this remark: “His heart is as treacherous as his principles are rotten,’ and doubtless the whole article is in keeping with the closing sentence. The Union claims to be the or,an, and there cannot be a particle of doubt that it echoes the sentiments, of the administration, Its very existence depends upon Federal patronage and were that patronage withdrawn, it would not survive a week. The position of the Administration towards the Ill nois Democracy, is without a parallel in the history of American polities, Either Douglas or Lincoln must be the next Senator from that State. Doubtless the President and his parasites consider the election of either, as an evil; but of the two evils they have chosen what to them secm the least, and the power and immense patronage of the government is used for the elevation of Lincolo. To accomplish this object the administration have resorted to means before unknown, and almost unheard of, in politieal -contests; the agents of the government have traversed every nook and corner of Illinois, and the services of every scribbler in the country, who would sell his talents for gold, has been bronght into requisition to defgme and vilify the great states: man of the West. In a few weeks we shall know with what success the almost super-human efforts of the administration have been crown. ed. If the Republicans have succeded in carrying the State, as there is some reason to fear, the toadies of power may well claim the result asan administration triumph, although it will be » defeat to the party that placed that administration in power. But let the result be as it may, the position in which the President and his Cabinet have placed themselves towards the Democracy of the country, in their vindictive efforts to defeat Douglas, is one not to be envied. The Fall Elections. Elections for Members of Congress have already taken place in most of the Northern States, and in a few weeks we shall receive returns sufficient to indicate pretty clearly the political character of the next House of Representatives. In Iowa and Florida the election was held on the 4th of October, but the news from St. Louis to the 11th make no mention of the result. In Pennsylvania, Ohio and Indiana, the election was held on the 12th, and the next steamer will doubtless bring the result in nearly all the districts. The election in New York, Illinois and Michigan was held on the 2d of November. The six States last named elect in the aggregate one hundred and five members of the House, which is nearly half of that body. Political matters have become so mixed up in several of these States, that it is not possible to form any definite opinion as to the result: the Lecompton issue of last winter has been a disturbing question in the ranks of the Democracy, and in eighteen or twenty Congressional districts two Democratic candidates were before the people, and in other districts the only candidates were Lecompton and anti-Lecompton Democrats. Notwithstanding these divisions, we shall look for large Deinocratic gains in the Northern States; but it will not bea gain for Lecomptonism. Such men as Haskin of New York, Montgomery of Peunsylvania, Davis of Indiana, and Harris of Illinois, without doubt will hold the balance of power in the next House of Representatives, During the last session of Congress these gentlemen planted themselves upon the Democratic platform, and neither the influences of Federal patronage on th: one hand, nor threats of ostracism on the other, could induce them to swerve from the principles of their party, It is gratifying to know that many others of the same sort have been nominated for election to the next Congress, The evidences are numerous on every hand thatthe Republican party are on the wane. They have about run the length of their tether, and must shortly follow in the footsteps of the Whigs and Kuow Nothings, their ignoble predecessors. Sequet, To tuk Marysvitte Roppery.—On our first page will be found an account ofa daring robbery committed at Marysville, last Wednesday night. From the Marysville papers of Friday, we learn that about one o’clock on Thursday morning, a Mexican known as “Hiepaniole,’’ who was part owner of the robbed bank, was seated at the Universal Restaurant, with an American named Harris and a Mexican pamed Alexander, whom be accused of the robbery. Harris went out to get a weapon, when Hispaniole took out his revolver and shot Alexander in the breast, inflicting a dangerous wound, the ball entering near the right nipple and passing out atthe back. Hispaniole then gave himself up and is now a prisoner. Harris was arrested about 10 o'clock the same morning, and on examination was held in $8,000 bail to answer to the charge of robbery. Alexander was notable to make his appearauce in Court, anditis feared his wound will prove fatal. Sacramento Evevtion.—The election in Sacramento, on Saturday, to fill the vacancy in the Senate, caused by the death of W. I. Ferguson, resulted in the choice of Johnson Price, the Lecompton candidate, by a majority of about 300 over R. D. Ferguson. It seems that little interest was taken in the election, as appears from the fact that the vote of the county was about a thousand less than at the late general election, Price, the Senator elect, was formerly a Whig, thena K.N, By nominating him the Lecomptonite were enabled to unite the entire anti-Democratio vote. Senator Broperiox,—By the arrival of the Overland Mail Coach at Placerville, on Wednesday last, we learn that Senator Broderick and Major Chorpening, arrived at Salt Lake, on the 18th October, Mr. Broderick was not seriously indisposed, but looked haggard and way-worn, Mr, B, left Placerville on the 2d October. R. H. Vance’s Daguerrean Gallery, at San Francisco, was destroyed by fire on the evening of Nov. Ist. His loss is estimated at $15,000 to $18,000. LecEerpEMaln.—A company of Chinese actors gave an exhibition at the theater last evening, Ming Sing, the celebrated magician, (so the bills say) was the principal attraction. 1, of alate date, ¢loses ent for this a three column article upon Senator Dou las, In Pennsylvania, Obio, Indiana and Illinois, . Letter from Omega. Omxoea, Nov. 7th, 1858. Ep, Democrat.—Nothing of a criminal nature has transpired here for some time, to enable us to get a puffin your columns, and the peaceable disposition of the citizens indicate that we might be entirely forgotten by our neighboring towns should we wait for an event of this kind. Our little town is now growing rapidly, and the prospects for increased mining facilities in this district are flattering. Mr. Withern. foreman for Capt. Kidd & Co., has been busily and successfully working some forty men, on flumes and reservoirs, for the past six weeks or two months. The Omega Diteb, under contract of A. Swarton, is being puebed ahead at a rapid rate. The late snow ssorm of course set them back considerably, but*they are now pushing the work on with as tonishing rapidity. The ditch will be completed carly next year, if not this. The positive assurance of the early completion of this work has broke a dawn that shede light over the path that leads to Omega’s future progress and wealth. As regards her rich miueral deposits, now undisturbed, Omegais said to be now what Nevada was in ’51 and ’52. That this is the largest gravel range in this part of the State, is a fact admitted by all who have visited the place, and the gravel or dirt is not equalled in richness by any hill in this section. The great drawback heretofore has been the short seasons that we have bad water, which bas enabled the miners to wash but a very limited amount of dirt. The scarcity of water caused a negligence in cutting down rock or running tunnelr to geta proper grade. Before this summer miners have usually left the hill for the creeks and rivers, leaving their diggings until fall— generally until bad weather—when it would be impossible to make the necessary improvements to ensure the speedy and successful working of their claims for the two or three months that water could be obtained. But the past summer has been spent in making all modern improvements in the way of bydraulics, grades, &c., which will enable the miners to work their claims to much better advantage in future. The town bas been greatly improved in the past sixmonths. Tie place now supports three provision stores (and another will be open in a few days;) oue clothing store; two meat markets; three blacksmith shops; four drinking saloons; one Division of Sons, and a Chinese washman. To add to the general wants of the place, I understand a log-house is to be converted into a calaboose, which will have a tendency to preserve order, and keep down the effects of bad whiskey. Yours, &e. Currs. “Tho Grissly Diteh. — We learn that the owners of the Grizzly Ditch, Messrs. Marsh, Tisdale and others, have sold that property to the Miner’s Ditch Co., for $48,000, being at the rate of $1,000 a share. The San Juan Press has the following notice of this property: This ditch was commenced by Messrs. Pettibone, Marsh, and Stewart, in Nov., 1851, and runs from Grizzly Cafion and Bloody Run to Cherokee, a distance of 18 or 20 miles, It was completed to Cherokee in the summer of 1852, atacost of $38,000, and gave that town an immediate impetus and importance: by the introduction of water to the surrounding diggin ze, Branches were extended to San Juan and French Corral the following year, at an additional expense of about $12,000. The extension to San Juan, not long after the discovery of the diggings by Nathaniel Harrison, gave the place its first substantial commencement, and led to the developement of the mineral riches surrounding it, and ultimately to the construction of the Middle Yuba Canal, which first introduced a . constant supply of water in June, 1856, The reservoir which is still in use on the south side of town, and the old flume which crosses Main street, were both constructed by the Grizzly company, The French Corral branch of the Grizzly Ditch, from San Juan down, was sold to P silard & Co., in 1855, for $6,000; and in 1857 the branch from Cherokee to this place was bought by the Middle Yuba company for $10.000. For the last two years the Grizzly Ditch has paid remarkably well, yielding a dividend of $500 per annum to the share ; in view of whieh fact the price at which it was sold may be deemed very advantageous to the buyers, The old Grizzly company was always popular amongst the miners, and the above facts in regard to its history will prove interesting toa large number of old residents. Murper.—A man named Patrick Doyle was stabbed in the abdomen, at San Francisco, last Friday morning, by some person unknown, from the effects of which he died in a few hours. A man named Kelley, who had been on agpree with Doyle the night preceding the murder was arrested on suspicion. The two were together when the stabbing took place, and Kelly’s story being unsatisfactory, he was placed in oustody to await an examination. There appears to have been no cause for the stabbing, except that Doyle and his companions were intoxicuted. Doyle wasan Irishman, ang had just returned from Fraser river. The coroner's inquest was postponed until to-day. MINERS AND RancumMeNn.—Considerable diffi culty has occurred recently near Columbia, between the miners and ranchmen, growing out of disputes as to the right of the former to cut wood on the ranches. A meeting was held by the miners,on Monday tho first instant; who adopted resolutions, expressive of their sentiments, and resolved themselves into a society for the purpose of protecting their rights, Parpoxev.—Governor Weller has pardoned Jose M. Sepulveda, who was convioted of Grand Larceny in San Joaquin county and sentenced to the State prison for ten years. He has served nearly five years, TE Batre witu THe InptaNs on Map River.— We received a letter from Capt. Messeo, of the Indian fighters, on Saturday evening, bringing the intelligence that an engagement had taken place. Ou the arrival of the company at Pardee’sraneh, they found the buildings burned, and that most of the stock had Leen driven off, Ascertaining the route which the Indians had taken, as soon as a igh redetay: could be made, Messec started with a small party, in pursuit, and came upon their camp about eight miles above, on Mad river. The Indians were fired upon—eight killed, several wounded, and five taken prisoners—two of whom bad since died from their wounds. One man belonging to the company was wounded by a rifle shot. His name is John Harpst, from Canadian Bar, Trinity river. The ball entered below the collar bone, and came out near the spine. The wound is not believed fatal.—Zrinity Journal. Tag namber of children in Sacramento city under the age of 18 years is 2.675 ; between 18 and 4, 1,690; under 4 years, 985. The Central Mail Route. . From the following whica we copy from the Alta, it will be seen that the mail stages by the Central route have made as good time as has been made on the rainbow route. The echedule time from Placerville to St. Joseph is thirtyfour days, and as separate companies bave the contract for carrying the mail to Salt Lake it is often detained there for several days. But it seems that the mali bas actually been carried through from California to Missouri in about tweaty-two days, although no extraordinary efforts were made, and the public were only apprised of the fact through the answer of correspondents. Allowing twenty-two days from Placerville to St. Joseph, and twenty-four days would be required to convey the mail trom San Francisco to St. Louis, which is about equal to the shortest time made on the southern route. It must be remembered, too, that the latter mail has generally been a day or two behind the schedule time of twenty-five days. The Alta says : There are probably few, if any, of our readers aware of the fact that the mail carriers on the northern overlaud route, have already made as good time going Eastward as the Butterfield contractors, although, owing to the incomplete nature of their arrangements, they have as yet made no pretension whatever to superior speed. It is time, however, that there has been some rapid traveling over the northern line, and in evidence of it we may refer to Capt. B. B. Williams, who received a letter by the Sonora from Boston, in reply to one he bad written in this city on the 2d of September last, and dispatched overland via Salt Lake. The Boston letter was dated Sept. 30tb., and acknowledged the receipt of the one from Capt. Williams, via Salt Lake. io Hm se. We have no information of the time to Bt. Joseph’s, Mo., the eastern terminus, but making the least possible allowance for the transit thence to Boston, say four days, and one day from San Francieeo to Placerville, the western terminus, we have twenty-two days and a half through time. This seems almost too good to be true, considering the lack of stations and stock on the route, yet the proof cannot well be overcome, Such being the case, what time may we expect when the preparations for regular travel are finished and fulfilment of the through contract finally commenced? Tehuantepec will be the only rival, EXTRAORDINARY PHENOoMENON.—On Wednesday evening Nov. 3d says the Mountain Democrat, near Brockliss’ some gentlemen were startled by the sudden flash of a most extraordinary meteor. The erolite, or whatever it was, contrary to all precedent, appeared to shoot up from the earth towards the zenitb, and so vivid was the flash of light, it momentarily blinded the bebolders. It left a bright train behind it which lasted for several minutes, Gowp Mristna In Monterey County.—We are credibly informed that men are making from a dollar to a dollar and half a day at Alisal, near the old silver mine formerly worked there. They are carrying the dirt some distance to water, and expect when the rains come, to make cight or ten dollarea day. Thisis a rich locality for minerals, mines of lead, of silver. and of cinebar, having been discovered and worked there.—Santa Cruz Sentinel. New Quartz Discovery.—Near Cold Spring Ranch, on Kanaka Creek. last week, Mr. Chase and others discovered a ledge of gold bearing quartz which on prospecting yielded three bits to the pound; on further examination by parties expert in such thingsit is thought that much of the rock will pay ns high as $250 to the ton—which is surpassingly rich.—Sierra Democrat. Letrer Maris ror tae East.—The following number of letters left San Francieco, Nov. 5th, for the East: For St. Louis, 165 letters; tor Memphis, 41; for Little Rock, 11; and for New York, 44— making 261 per Overland Route. The steamer Sonora carried away 42,923, of which number 736 were registered. Srantsh Grants in Bourre Covunty.—Butte, though one of the richest mining counties of the State, has more than two thirds of its surface covered by Spanish grants. Micration to Honey Lakg.—It is said that a dozen families in Petaluma valley intend to move to Honey Lake Valley next spring. Tuk Washington correspondent of the Philadelphia Press, says : “It seema Prof, Alexander has accomplished nothing in his mission to England. Av appropriation of $5,000 was made by Congress, with a view of securing, on the part of England, a coincidence of currency with us upou a decimal system. The object was to secure a decimal currency the world over, and to try the first experiment with England. Professor Alexander went out as the agent of the Tresury Department, under the act of Congress, but the money has been expended, and nothing practical has been done. Tux Feprrat Treasury.—The Treasurer’s weekly statement shows a balance in the Treasury on the 30th September of $10,171,000. The receipts were $578,500—a reduction as compared with those of the previous week of nearly $698,000. The drafts paid amounted to upward of $1,417,000, and the drafts issued to $1,276,000, A Toveu Joxe.—-A law of Ohio requires commissioners to count quarterly every dollar in the Hamilton county treasury, The work was performed recently, when the commissioners had $205,000 in cash to manipulate, including $16,000 in gold dollars, and 23,000 pennies of the pew coinage. As each coin was handled separately, the work was not slight, Exoneratep.—The Secretary of the Treasury has exonerated the Collector of San Francisco from all blame iu relation to the case of the ship Himalay, which brought sugar to San Francisco in certain sized packages forbidden by the revenue laws, and which the Collector permitted to leave San Franeisco for Victoria without atte mpting to enfarge the penalty against her. Coxxecricut E.ection.—An election for town officers was held in Connecticut, Oct. 4th. As far as heard from the Democrats have carried thirty towns and gained two, and the Republicans have carried forty-seven towns and gained fourteen ; shawing a nct Republican gain of twelve towns, Deservep CompLiment.—A diploma of hoaorary membership in the Berlin Geographical Society. has bepn forwarded, through the State Department, to Professor Alexander D, Bache, the Superintendent of the coast survey of the United States. Tenaciry or Lirk.—A man named Thomas Henly, of Atalanta, Ga., was recently shot, and lived four days and uiaeteen hours with a pistol ball in the right ventricle of the heart.

The overland mail arrived at San Frameisco,} last Sunday evening, with dates from St. Louis, . to Oct. 14tb, and from New York to Oct, 11th. The election news received are meagre and indefinite. From the telegrapbic dispatch to the Union we copy the following items: Muscatine, Iowa, Oct. 13th.—The whole Republican ticket is elected in this district by 150 majority. , P Ixpiaxa.—The Republicans haye carried this State. Outo.—-Returas show the election to Congress of five Republicans, three Democrats, and oue Opposition.

Eleven lives were Jost by the explosion of the boilers of the freight steamer Hercules, in the St. Lawrence river, eighteen miles below Ogdensburg, on Saturday morning, Oct. 9th. The Hercules was owned in Kingston, C. W., and was nearly new. From Mexico.—A courier had arrived at Vera Cruz at7 o’clock in the morning, from the City of Mexico, stating that Gen. Vidaurri had been beaten by Gen. Meramon, near San Luis. The latter was said to bave captured 10,000 prisoners and several pieces of artillery. At 8 o’clock another courier arrived. stating that Vidaurri had defeated Meramon, and that the . latter had blown out bis brains in despair. News from Tampico, state that Gov. Garrion had levied contributions on all foreigners, to the amount of $100,000, and on failing to raise the sum, he had imprisoned a number of Spanish and American citizeus for thirty-eight . hours, with nothing to eat or drink. They were released on promise to raise the amount. A number bad fied to the steamer Solert, and the Spanish Consul took refuge on board a) Spanish vessel-of-war off Tampico. His family . took refuge on the Solert. There are three days later date from Europe, . but nothing ef importance save the following :. Iraty.—Letters in regard to the late conspiracy at Naples say that it assumed very formidable proportions, ineluding many bigh per. sons in it, and having extensive foreign ramifi. cations, It was discovered by the finding of some papers about the person of aman who had been accidentally drowned. Indian Outrage on the Southern Route. The following account of an Indian massacre near the borders of our State, is taken from the Santa Fe Gazette, of October 16th. Thies evening, after we bad gone to press, an} express arrived in this city with very late and important news from the cinigrant route to. California, Lieut. Wilkins has allowed us to} peruse the letter containing it, and we stop the press to publish its contents, which we do in brief, and without room or time for comment. The letter is dated on the 22d of September, eighty miles west of the Sau Francisco Mountains, The cmigrant company, by the principal persons of which the letter is signed, bad arrived . in safety at the crossing of the Rio Colorado, near the Mohave villages. Shortly afterwards, . they were attacked by 300 Mohave Indians, . while most of the white men were engaged iu . constructing rafis to cross and in berdi:g their . stock, when a bloody fight ensued. In this en. gagement the emigrants lost three men, two} women and four childrev, killed, and sixteen . wounded, The Indians took all the stock ex: . cept nineteen head of cattle and eleven horses, . The emigrants then retreated on the return! route in the night, taking with them but two . wagons, wherein to baul a small supply of pro. visions, and bedding for the women and chil. dren. The whole party, at the date of the let: . ter, consisted of 123 men, 33 women, old and young, and 47 children. from the two weeks o!d . babe up. Soon after the retreat, starvation al. ready staring them in the face, they fortunately met another emigrant party, who generously shared with them their provisions and comforts, . This party, out of five bundred bead of stock, bad but one hundred forty-five left, and they were in the most miserable condition. The signers of tbe letter we alluded to are the . following twenty persons, who implore assist. ance, not for themselves, but for their wives and children, whose sufferings are described as the most intense, to wit: E. O. and S. O. Smith. Joseph Ferman, Jobn . Hamilton, J. McCoy, J. Hobbau, J. Miller, Mrs. . Mary Brown, E. M. Jones, Peter Allison, L. J. . Rose, J. H. Jordan, J. B. Cave, R. Renkins. A. . Bailey, S.

In New Mexico the party divided, one part com. ing the Beale avd the other the Butterfield . route, Those by the latter route have been in . San Bernardino some weeks. neem Srurenxvovs Counterreiting Derecrep.—One of the most stupendous cases of counterfeiting has just come to light in New York. Itappears . that abont a year agoa foreign Jady, calling herself Madame Sevesti, arrived in New York, and engaged a job printer, named W. L.S. Harrison, No. 82 Duane strect, to strike her off 600,000 copies of a certain Jabel-looking document covered with characters that were perfectly undecipherable to the disciple of Faust. Supposing them, as he said, to be labels for some Chinese or Eastern nostrum, Harrison took the job . had fac-simile plates engraved and electrotyped, and struck off the required number, which he delivered with the exception of about onefourth. which, with the plates. were left in his care, The woman then disappeared. and Har. rison heard no further of her until his office was pounced upon by the police, and he arrest. ed for counterfeiting an immense amount of . Turkish Money! Such the “labels”? that he had printed proved to be. It seems that Madame Sevesti, on getting the . bills printed, had packed them in the false bottoms of three large trunks. These she carried to Liverpool, and from that place took passage in the steamer for Syra, Turkey. When she landed at Syra, she was anxious that the reve. nue officers should not be very rigid in examining her luggage, ‘for fear of injury to her war. drobe.’’ They detected the false bottoms in the trunks, however, and from them. and off the person of Madame, took 1,250,000 piastres of counterfeit money, neatly done up in bundles of 1,000 piastres each. She was arrested and confessed that she belonged to a band of counterfeitere, Information was sent to J. H. Smith, Consul of the Ottoman Porte, in New York, upon whose affidavit the printer Harrison was arrested, and the balance of the “labels’’ with all the plates were seized. Harrison publishes a card, in whigh he declares his entire innocence of any knowledge of the nature of the labels he was printing. What he says, shows pretty clearly that his principal fault was in not understanding the Turkish characters and language. He wus held to bail in the sum of $2,000. { TRANSFERRING Bioop.—The delicate und interesting operation of transferring blood from one person to another, has again been successfully performed by Dr. Wheatcroft. an English surgeon, in the case of a female patient. When apparently expiring from the loss of blood. about two pounds were transferred from the veins af her husband into her veins, with the most favorable result. In a few minutes after the currents of blaod began to flow, and the ebbing of life was checked. the circulation being re-established. and the deliverance from appargntly cer'tain approaching dissolution secured, R SALE—A DERRICK, WITH Tackle, Pulleys, Ropes, and everything complete.

In a number of communications to the Marysville Democrat, over the signature of “Henry Jacob,’ he took occasion to make some sweeping charges about the immoralities of the mining communities in general, and of the one in which he lived in particular. When his communications were received at La Porte, according to his own account, a conspiracy was formed to mob him, but receiving timely notice of what was going on, he prudently took himself outof the town. McKinley is the same person who undertook to give Shaksperian readings in this place, and aflerwards set up for a poet, but not being very successful in these occupations he migrated to La Porte. We had lost the run of him, until he turned up recently asa newspaper correspondent. His charges of drunkenness and rowdyism in the mines have no existence except in his imagination. —— Tuanxsaivine.—Gov. Weller has issued a proclamation, appointing Thursday, the 25th inst. asa day of thanksgiving and prayer. The same day will be observed throughout most of the other States of the Union. The Governor says: “And Ido earnestly invoke the good people of this State, abstaining from all secular pursuits, to assemble in their respective places of worship, and with sincere and contrite hearts to offer up thanks to the Supreme Ruler of the Universe for the manifold blessings con. ferred upon us during the past year, and humbly and fervently supplicate Him that he will continue usa free, prosperous and united people.” Commutation or Sentences.—The three Justices of the Supreme Court, in answer to a question propounded by Gov. Weller, have given their opinion in writing, that the Governor can constitutionally commute a sentence. It has been held by some, that according to the wording of the Constitution, the Governor could exercise the pardoning power only, and could not if a man was sentenced to be hanged, let him off with a term of imprisonment. The Supreme Judges, however, hold that the Governor bas the power not only to commute a sentence, but also to annex conditions to a pardon. CLoraixe ar Averion.—We direct attention to the large and extensive sale of clothing &c., at the store of J. B. Newman & Co., Broad street, on Saturday next, Nov. 13th. It is perhaps the largest stock of clothing ever put up at auction in this market. The extent and variety of the assortment will afford all an opportunity to clothe themselves at a mere nominal price, ‘Uncle Ike,’’ auctioneer. Scrip Issvep.—At the late session of the Board of Supervisors, scrip was issued to the amount of $10,760 46, on the following funds ; General fund,... ceccceess $5,824 40. SPECIAL TONG.. 2. i ccceneccs MOOR OB Indingeut sick fund... net Et on! unum «mitch seveess $10. 760 46 Lapirs Party.—The ladies of Grass Valley have made arrangements to give a party on Thureday evening, the 18th inst., at Hamilton Hall. The party is given for the benefit of the Episcopal Church of that place, and an invitation to attend is extended to the citizens of Nevada and surrounding towns, RerurneD From Fraser.—John O'Brien, who was among the ‘first to leave this section for Fraser river, returned to Nevada last week. He agrees with all other returned F raserites, that the mines of that country are a grand humbug. At the present time there are probably not over 5000 Californians in British Columbia, anda large portion of these will be back to this State before the first of next month. Foor Race.—The great foot race so long talked of, between *‘Johnny Gildersleeve”’ and the “Mountain Buck,” for $50 a side, will come offnext Saturday afternoon, at “Uncle Natty’s’’ Race Track, one-fourth of a mile from town, on the old Washington road. Returnep.—Dr. Harvey Hunt and Joseph Todd, old citizens of Nevada, were among the passehgers of the steamer Sonora. They return with the intention of making California their permanent homes. . Ricu Quarrz.—A quartz lead of almost fabulous richness, was discovered last week at Timbuctoo, Yuba county. Within two or three days, about $5,000 worth of quartz was taken out. ‘ Eastern Parers.—We are indebted to J. W. Sullivan, the enterprising agent for all the “leading Eastern papers and magazines, for a large package of papers, received by the mail steamer Sonora. Tur mail steamer Sonora sailed for Panama Nov. 5th, with 300 passengers and $2,251,858 in treasure. Acquirrep.—Richard Galway, accused along with Michael Murray, of the murder of Daniel Sweeney, in Sierra county, was tried before the District Court at Downieville last week, and acquitted, J. Wine Ouiver, Esq., bas assumed the editorship of the Yreka Chronicl. Mr. Oliver has been connected with the mountain press of this State for some years, and is well known as a vigorous writer. ; Favors.— We are under obligations to Geo. Welch, of the Alia Express, for furnishing us with San Francisco and interior exchanges. J. E. Hamlin bas our thanks for late Atlantic papers received by the Sonora. To Jno. Pattison; of Langton’s Express, we are indebted for Downievitle papers. The Woshin n Uni with this remark: “His heart is as treacherous as his principles are rotten,’ and doubtless the whole article is in keeping with the closing sentence. The Union claims to be the or,an, and there cannot be a particle of doubt that it echoes the sentiments, of the administration, Its very existence depends upon Federal patronage and were that patronage withdrawn, it would not survive a week. The position of the Administration towards the Ill nois Democracy, is without a parallel in the history of American polities, Either Douglas or Lincoln must be the next Senator from that State. Doubtless the President and his parasites consider the election of either, as an evil; but of the two evils they have chosen what to them secm the least, and the power and immense patronage of the government is used for the elevation of Lincolo. To accomplish this object the administration have resorted to means before unknown, and almost unheard of, in politieal -contests; the agents of the government have traversed every nook and corner of Illinois, and the services of every scribbler in the country, who would sell his talents for gold, has been bronght into requisition to defgme and vilify the great states: man of the West. In a few weeks we shall know with what success the almost super-human efforts of the administration have been crown. ed. If the Republicans have succeded in carrying the State, as there is some reason to fear, the toadies of power may well claim the result asan administration triumph, although it will be » defeat to the party that placed that administration in power. But let the result be as it may, the position in which the President and his Cabinet have placed themselves towards the Democracy of the country, in their vindictive efforts to defeat Douglas, is one not to be envied. The Fall Elections. Elections for Members of Congress have already taken place in most of the Northern States, and in a few weeks we shall receive returns sufficient to indicate pretty clearly the political character of the next House of Representatives. In Iowa and Florida the election was held on the 4th of October, but the news from St. Louis to the 11th make no mention of the result. In Pennsylvania, Ohio and Indiana, the election was held on the 12th, and the next steamer will doubtless bring the result in nearly all the districts. The election in New York, Illinois and Michigan was held on the 2d of November. The six States last named elect in the aggregate one hundred and five members of the House, which is nearly half of that body. Political matters have become so mixed up in several of these States, that it is not possible to form any definite opinion as to the result: the Lecompton issue of last winter has been a disturbing question in the ranks of the Democracy, and in eighteen or twenty Congressional districts two Democratic candidates were before the people, and in other districts the only candidates were Lecompton and anti-Lecompton Democrats. Notwithstanding these divisions, we shall look for large Deinocratic gains in the Northern States; but it will not bea gain for Lecomptonism. Such men as Haskin of New York, Montgomery of Peunsylvania, Davis of Indiana, and Harris of Illinois, without doubt will hold the balance of power in the next House of Representatives, During the last session of Congress these gentlemen planted themselves upon the Democratic platform, and neither the influences of Federal patronage on th: one hand, nor threats of ostracism on the other, could induce them to swerve from the principles of their party, It is gratifying to know that many others of the same sort have been nominated for election to the next Congress, The evidences are numerous on every hand thatthe Republican party are on the wane. They have about run the length of their tether, and must shortly follow in the footsteps of the Whigs and Kuow Nothings, their ignoble predecessors. Sequet, To tuk Marysvitte Roppery.—On our first page will be found an account ofa daring robbery committed at Marysville, last Wednesday night. From the Marysville papers of Friday, we learn that about one o’clock on Thursday morning, a Mexican known as “Hiepaniole,’’ who was part owner of the robbed bank, was seated at the Universal Restaurant, with an American named Harris and a Mexican pamed Alexander, whom be accused of the robbery. Harris went out to get a weapon, when Hispaniole took out his revolver and shot Alexander in the breast, inflicting a dangerous wound, the ball entering near the right nipple and passing out atthe back. Hispaniole then gave himself up and is now a prisoner. Harris was arrested about 10 o'clock the same morning, and on examination was held in $8,000 bail to answer to the charge of robbery. Alexander was notable to make his appearauce in Court, anditis feared his wound will prove fatal. Sacramento Evevtion.—The election in Sacramento, on Saturday, to fill the vacancy in the Senate, caused by the death of W. I. Ferguson, resulted in the choice of Johnson Price, the Lecompton candidate, by a majority of about 300 over R. D. Ferguson. It seems that little interest was taken in the election, as appears from the fact that the vote of the county was about a thousand less than at the late general election, Price, the Senator elect, was formerly a Whig, thena K.N, By nominating him the Lecomptonite were enabled to unite the entire anti-Democratio vote. Senator Broperiox,—By the arrival of the Overland Mail Coach at Placerville, on Wednesday last, we learn that Senator Broderick and Major Chorpening, arrived at Salt Lake, on the 18th October, Mr. Broderick was not seriously indisposed, but looked haggard and way-worn, Mr, B, left Placerville on the 2d October. R. H. Vance’s Daguerrean Gallery, at San Francisco, was destroyed by fire on the evening of Nov. Ist. His loss is estimated at $15,000 to $18,000. LecEerpEMaln.—A company of Chinese actors gave an exhibition at the theater last evening, Ming Sing, the celebrated magician, (so the bills say) was the principal attraction. 1, of alate date, ¢loses ent for this a three column article upon Senator Dou las, In Pennsylvania, Obio, Indiana and Illinois, . Letter from Omega. Omxoea, Nov. 7th, 1858. Ep, Democrat.—Nothing of a criminal nature has transpired here for some time, to enable us to get a puffin your columns, and the peaceable disposition of the citizens indicate that we might be entirely forgotten by our neighboring towns should we wait for an event of this kind. Our little town is now growing rapidly, and the prospects for increased mining facilities in this district are flattering. Mr. Withern. foreman for Capt. Kidd & Co., has been busily and successfully working some forty men, on flumes and reservoirs, for the past six weeks or two months. The Omega Diteb, under contract of A. Swarton, is being puebed ahead at a rapid rate. The late snow ssorm of course set them back considerably, but*they are now pushing the work on with as tonishing rapidity. The ditch will be completed carly next year, if not this. The positive assurance of the early completion of this work has broke a dawn that shede light over the path that leads to Omega’s future progress and wealth. As regards her rich miueral deposits, now undisturbed, Omegais said to be now what Nevada was in ’51 and ’52. That this is the largest gravel range in this part of the State, is a fact admitted by all who have visited the place, and the gravel or dirt is not equalled in richness by any hill in this section. The great drawback heretofore has been the short seasons that we have bad water, which bas enabled the miners to wash but a very limited amount of dirt. The scarcity of water caused a negligence in cutting down rock or running tunnelr to geta proper grade. Before this summer miners have usually left the hill for the creeks and rivers, leaving their diggings until fall— generally until bad weather—when it would be impossible to make the necessary improvements to ensure the speedy and successful working of their claims for the two or three months that water could be obtained. But the past summer has been spent in making all modern improvements in the way of bydraulics, grades, &c., which will enable the miners to work their claims to much better advantage in future. The town bas been greatly improved in the past sixmonths. Tie place now supports three provision stores (and another will be open in a few days;) oue clothing store; two meat markets; three blacksmith shops; four drinking saloons; one Division of Sons, and a Chinese washman. To add to the general wants of the place, I understand a log-house is to be converted into a calaboose, which will have a tendency to preserve order, and keep down the effects of bad whiskey. Yours, &e. Currs. “Tho Grissly Diteh. — We learn that the owners of the Grizzly Ditch, Messrs. Marsh, Tisdale and others, have sold that property to the Miner’s Ditch Co., for $48,000, being at the rate of $1,000 a share. The San Juan Press has the following notice of this property: This ditch was commenced by Messrs. Pettibone, Marsh, and Stewart, in Nov., 1851, and runs from Grizzly Cafion and Bloody Run to Cherokee, a distance of 18 or 20 miles, It was completed to Cherokee in the summer of 1852, atacost of $38,000, and gave that town an immediate impetus and importance: by the introduction of water to the surrounding diggin ze, Branches were extended to San Juan and French Corral the following year, at an additional expense of about $12,000. The extension to San Juan, not long after the discovery of the diggings by Nathaniel Harrison, gave the place its first substantial commencement, and led to the developement of the mineral riches surrounding it, and ultimately to the construction of the Middle Yuba Canal, which first introduced a . constant supply of water in June, 1856, The reservoir which is still in use on the south side of town, and the old flume which crosses Main street, were both constructed by the Grizzly company, The French Corral branch of the Grizzly Ditch, from San Juan down, was sold to P silard & Co., in 1855, for $6,000; and in 1857 the branch from Cherokee to this place was bought by the Middle Yuba company for $10.000. For the last two years the Grizzly Ditch has paid remarkably well, yielding a dividend of $500 per annum to the share ; in view of whieh fact the price at which it was sold may be deemed very advantageous to the buyers, The old Grizzly company was always popular amongst the miners, and the above facts in regard to its history will prove interesting toa large number of old residents. Murper.—A man named Patrick Doyle was stabbed in the abdomen, at San Francisco, last Friday morning, by some person unknown, from the effects of which he died in a few hours. A man named Kelley, who had been on agpree with Doyle the night preceding the murder was arrested on suspicion. The two were together when the stabbing took place, and Kelly’s story being unsatisfactory, he was placed in oustody to await an examination. There appears to have been no cause for the stabbing, except that Doyle and his companions were intoxicuted. Doyle wasan Irishman, ang had just returned from Fraser river. The coroner's inquest was postponed until to-day. MINERS AND RancumMeNn.—Considerable diffi culty has occurred recently near Columbia, between the miners and ranchmen, growing out of disputes as to the right of the former to cut wood on the ranches. A meeting was held by the miners,on Monday tho first instant; who adopted resolutions, expressive of their sentiments, and resolved themselves into a society for the purpose of protecting their rights, Parpoxev.—Governor Weller has pardoned Jose M. Sepulveda, who was convioted of Grand Larceny in San Joaquin county and sentenced to the State prison for ten years. He has served nearly five years, TE Batre witu THe InptaNs on Map River.— We received a letter from Capt. Messeo, of the Indian fighters, on Saturday evening, bringing the intelligence that an engagement had taken place. Ou the arrival of the company at Pardee’sraneh, they found the buildings burned, and that most of the stock had Leen driven off, Ascertaining the route which the Indians had taken, as soon as a igh redetay: could be made, Messec started with a small party, in pursuit, and came upon their camp about eight miles above, on Mad river. The Indians were fired upon—eight killed, several wounded, and five taken prisoners—two of whom bad since died from their wounds. One man belonging to the company was wounded by a rifle shot. His name is John Harpst, from Canadian Bar, Trinity river. The ball entered below the collar bone, and came out near the spine. The wound is not believed fatal.—Zrinity Journal. Tag namber of children in Sacramento city under the age of 18 years is 2.675 ; between 18 and 4, 1,690; under 4 years, 985. The Central Mail Route. . From the following whica we copy from the Alta, it will be seen that the mail stages by the Central route have made as good time as has been made on the rainbow route. The echedule time from Placerville to St. Joseph is thirtyfour days, and as separate companies bave the contract for carrying the mail to Salt Lake it is often detained there for several days. But it seems that the mali bas actually been carried through from California to Missouri in about tweaty-two days, although no extraordinary efforts were made, and the public were only apprised of the fact through the answer of correspondents. Allowing twenty-two days from Placerville to St. Joseph, and twenty-four days would be required to convey the mail trom San Francisco to St. Louis, which is about equal to the shortest time made on the southern route. It must be remembered, too, that the latter mail has generally been a day or two behind the schedule time of twenty-five days. The Alta says : There are probably few, if any, of our readers aware of the fact that the mail carriers on the northern overlaud route, have already made as good time going Eastward as the Butterfield contractors, although, owing to the incomplete nature of their arrangements, they have as yet made no pretension whatever to superior speed. It is time, however, that there has been some rapid traveling over the northern line, and in evidence of it we may refer to Capt. B. B. Williams, who received a letter by the Sonora from Boston, in reply to one he bad written in this city on the 2d of September last, and dispatched overland via Salt Lake. The Boston letter was dated Sept. 30tb., and acknowledged the receipt of the one from Capt. Williams, via Salt Lake. io Hm se. We have no information of the time to Bt. Joseph’s, Mo., the eastern terminus, but making the least possible allowance for the transit thence to Boston, say four days, and one day from San Francieeo to Placerville, the western terminus, we have twenty-two days and a half through time. This seems almost too good to be true, considering the lack of stations and stock on the route, yet the proof cannot well be overcome, Such being the case, what time may we expect when the preparations for regular travel are finished and fulfilment of the through contract finally commenced? Tehuantepec will be the only rival, EXTRAORDINARY PHENOoMENON.—On Wednesday evening Nov. 3d says the Mountain Democrat, near Brockliss’ some gentlemen were startled by the sudden flash of a most extraordinary meteor. The erolite, or whatever it was, contrary to all precedent, appeared to shoot up from the earth towards the zenitb, and so vivid was the flash of light, it momentarily blinded the bebolders. It left a bright train behind it which lasted for several minutes, Gowp Mristna In Monterey County.—We are credibly informed that men are making from a dollar to a dollar and half a day at Alisal, near the old silver mine formerly worked there. They are carrying the dirt some distance to water, and expect when the rains come, to make cight or ten dollarea day. Thisis a rich locality for minerals, mines of lead, of silver. and of cinebar, having been discovered and worked there.—Santa Cruz Sentinel. New Quartz Discovery.—Near Cold Spring Ranch, on Kanaka Creek. last week, Mr. Chase

and others discovered a ledge of gold bearing quartz which on prospecting yielded three bits to the pound; on further examination by parties expert in such thingsit is thought that much of the rock will pay ns high as $250 to the ton—which is surpassingly rich.—Sierra Democrat. Letrer Maris ror tae East.—The following number of letters left San Francieco, Nov. 5th, for the East: For St. Louis, 165 letters; tor Memphis, 41; for Little Rock, 11; and for New York, 44— making 261 per Overland Route. The steamer Sonora carried away 42,923, of which number 736 were registered. Srantsh Grants in Bourre Covunty.—Butte, though one of the richest mining counties of the State, has more than two thirds of its surface covered by Spanish grants. Micration to Honey Lakg.—It is said that a dozen families in Petaluma valley intend to move to Honey Lake Valley next spring. Tuk Washington correspondent of the Philadelphia Press, says : “It seema Prof, Alexander has accomplished nothing in his mission to England. Av appropriation of $5,000 was made by Congress, with a view of securing, on the part of England, a coincidence of currency with us upou a decimal system. The object was to secure a decimal currency the world over, and to try the first experiment with England. Professor Alexander went out as the agent of the Tresury Department, under the act of Congress, but the money has been expended, and nothing practical has been done. Tux Feprrat Treasury.—The Treasurer’s weekly statement shows a balance in the Treasury on the 30th September of $10,171,000. The receipts were $578,500—a reduction as compared with those of the previous week of nearly $698,000. The drafts paid amounted to upward of $1,417,000, and the drafts issued to $1,276,000, A Toveu Joxe.—-A law of Ohio requires commissioners to count quarterly every dollar in the Hamilton county treasury, The work was performed recently, when the commissioners had $205,000 in cash to manipulate, including $16,000 in gold dollars, and 23,000 pennies of the pew coinage. As each coin was handled separately, the work was not slight, Exoneratep.—The Secretary of the Treasury has exonerated the Collector of San Francisco from all blame iu relation to the case of the ship Himalay, which brought sugar to San Francisco in certain sized packages forbidden by the revenue laws, and which the Collector permitted to leave San Franeisco for Victoria without atte mpting to enfarge the penalty against her. Coxxecricut E.ection.—An election for town officers was held in Connecticut, Oct. 4th. As far as heard from the Democrats have carried thirty towns and gained two, and the Republicans have carried forty-seven towns and gained fourteen ; shawing a nct Republican gain of twelve towns, Deservep CompLiment.—A diploma of hoaorary membership in the Berlin Geographical Society. has bepn forwarded, through the State Department, to Professor Alexander D, Bache, the Superintendent of the coast survey of the United States.

Indian Outrage on the Southern Route. The following account of an Indian massacre near the borders of our State, is taken from the Santa Fe Gazette, of October 16th. Thies evening, after we bad gone to press, an} express arrived in this city with very late and important news from the cinigrant route to. California, Lieut. Wilkins has allowed us to} peruse the letter containing it, and we stop the press to publish its contents, which we do in brief, and without room or time for comment. The letter is dated on the 22d of September, eighty miles west of the Sau Francisco Mountains, The cmigrant company, by the principal persons of which the letter is signed, bad arrived . in safety at the crossing of the Rio Colorado, near the Mohave villages. Shortly afterwards, . they were attacked by 300 Mohave Indians, . while most of the white men were engaged iu . constructing rafis to cross and in berdi:g their . stock, when a bloody fight ensued. In this en. gagement the emigrants lost three men, two} women and four childrev, killed, and sixteen . wounded, The Indians took all the stock ex: . cept nineteen head of cattle and eleven horses, . The emigrants then retreated on the return! route in the night, taking with them but two . wagons, wherein to baul a small supply of pro. visions, and bedding for the women and chil. dren. The whole party, at the date of the let: . ter, consisted of 123 men, 33 women, old and young, and 47 children. from the two weeks o!d . babe up. Soon after the retreat, starvation al. ready staring them in the face, they fortunately met another emigrant party, who generously shared with them their provisions and comforts, . This party, out of five bundred bead of stock, bad but one hundred forty-five left, and they were in the most miserable condition. The signers of tbe letter we alluded to are the . following twenty persons, who implore assist. ance, not for themselves, but for their wives and children, whose sufferings are described as the most intense, to wit: E. O. and S. O. Smith. Joseph Ferman, Jobn . Hamilton, J. McCoy, J. Hobbau, J. Miller, Mrs. . Mary Brown, E. M. Jones, Peter Allison, L. J. . Rose, J. H. Jordan, J. B. Cave, R. Renkins. A. . Bailey, S.

In New Mexico the party divided, one part com. ing the Beale avd the other the Butterfield . route, Those by the latter route have been in . San Bernardino some weeks. neem Srurenxvovs Counterreiting Derecrep.—One of the most stupendous cases of counterfeiting has just come to light in New York. Itappears . that abont a year agoa foreign Jady, calling herself Madame Sevesti, arrived in New York, and engaged a job printer, named W. L.S. Harrison, No. 82 Duane strect, to strike her off 600,000 copies of a certain Jabel-looking document covered with characters that were perfectly undecipherable to the disciple of Faust. Supposing them, as he said, to be labels for some Chinese or Eastern nostrum, Harrison took the job . had fac-simile plates engraved and electrotyped, and struck off the required number, which he delivered with the exception of about onefourth. which, with the plates. were left in his care, The woman then disappeared. and Har. rison heard no further of her until his office was pounced upon by the police, and he arrest. ed for counterfeiting an immense amount of . Turkish Money! Such the “labels”? that he had printed proved to be. It seems that Madame Sevesti, on getting the . bills printed, had packed them in the false bottoms of three large trunks. These she carried to Liverpool, and from that place took passage in the steamer for Syra, Turkey. When she landed at Syra, she was anxious that the reve. nue officers should not be very rigid in examining her luggage, ‘for fear of injury to her war. drobe.’’ They detected the false bottoms in the trunks, however, and from them. and off the person of Madame, took 1,250,000 piastres of counterfeit money, neatly done up in bundles of 1,000 piastres each. She was arrested and confessed that she belonged to a band of counterfeitere, Information was sent to J. H. Smith, Consul of the Ottoman Porte, in New York, upon whose affidavit the printer Harrison was arrested, and the balance of the “labels’’ with all the plates were seized. Harrison publishes a card, in whigh he declares his entire innocence of any knowledge of the nature of the labels he was printing. What he says, shows pretty clearly that his principal fault was in not understanding the Turkish characters and language. He wus held to bail in the sum of $2,000. { TRANSFERRING Bioop.—The delicate und interesting operation of transferring blood from one person to another, has again been successfully performed by Dr. Wheatcroft. an English surgeon, in the case of a female patient.
