MATTHIAS.

Matthias, the impostor, liberated
from confinement within the last few
days. has resumed his old VOCATION
He made has appearance yesterday at
Newark, and caused much excitement
among the citizens Of that place. We
advise the scoundrel 10 avoid this city
as he dislikes coating Of tar and
feathers. Some Of the relatives OF
his unfortunate victims have express
ed in our hearing the most firm deter
minatiou, should he cross their path.
not to permit him 10 escape unscsihed.
". Y. Coar.
There was nothing in his general
appearance TO excite observation. The
only remains Of his famous beard are
huge pair Of whiskers, and he was
dressed In the bottle green frock coat
and pantaloons, in which he occasion
ally figured in the days OF his glory;
The only popularity being the frogs on
the coat instead Of buttons. While
walking with him in pursuit of his
brother, he remarked to Mr.. G. that
he did not appear to know him. and i'm
mediately added that his name was
Matthias, thcreupon proceeding 70 in
sist upon his exalted character. He
said he had been abused prosecuted and
misrepresented. but did not believe
any further steps would be taken against
him. as the officers minated nothing
Of the kind at his discharge. He de-
MED the charge of homicide, seLuc-
ton. &c. and remarked that Mr.. Fol-
ger being misled had fallen from the
true faith. though he thought he might
be brought back. He was aware OF
the publications about him, and re-
marked in reply to question concern
ing Col. Stones memoir. that lit was
money making affair, containing
some truth and much falsehood," but
which would eventually help forward
his cause.
Failing to find the object Of his visit.
he returned TO the railroad. proposing
to take the 10 o'clock car for the city.
1t became generally known in the
mean time that he was in town, and
crowds collected about him freely
giving utterance to the popular feeling.
He responded with perfect mildnesa
and self-possession, declaring his inno-
cencc Of the crimes charged, and as
serting the high and benevolent OBJ
jects Of his mission.
The excitement against him so in
creased, that Sheriff Robinson, who
happened to be present with some OF
tho constables, took him in charge.
and conducted him to the bridge, the
crowd following on. The car soon
appeared and the wretched creature
thus escaped without giving occasion
for any thing like personal violence.
His conversation was in general inco-
herent and imbecile, exhibiting a mix
ture of knave and fool"
