FORGERY AND SUICIDE. A young man pre-
scented check for $500, drawn by J. B. Smith,
broker, at the counter of the Pennsylvania
Bank in Philadelphia, on Saturday, which was
paid; but in a minute or two afterwards it was
discovered to be a counterfeit. He was imnc-
diately pursued, and after hard chase, arrest
ed and the money recovered, He studiously
avoided divulglng his name, and no one SEEM
ing to know him, he was committed to prison
where he died, rather myterously, on Sunday
afternoon, supposed from taking laudanum. 1t

TIE HypRo-ELEcTRIc MACHINE. The great
machine in New York for the production OF
electricity by steam, excites much attention.
1t appears that the boiler is cased with wood,
and the whole machine stands on six large glass
legs, three feet long. A few grains of the
neutral salts put into the iron boiler, or the
iron rust upon its sides, will prevent the gene
ration of the electricity. Impure water will
not produce it; the water of London will not
the Croton only is used.

GREAT COUNTERF EIrING ESTABLISHMENT
Broken UP. One Of the most extensive coun-
terfeiting establishments in the country has bsen
discovered and broken up near Stanford, hy.
1t appears that a man named G. W. Robinson,
of Kentucky, was lately arrested at Columbus,
Geo, for passing counterfeit money, and that
soon after he was taken dangerously i'll, which
induced him to make full confession, disclos-
ing the fact that two brothers, named john and
William Banton, on their farm near Stanford,
Ky, had a large establishment for the manu-
flcturc Of counterfeit notes and coin, constant
ly in operation, and that he and many others,
in various sections Of the Union, whose names
he also disclosed were employed as agents for
its disposal. Mr.. Aver, merchant Of Colum-
bus, Immediately proceeded to Stanford, aud
aided by the Sheriff and number Of citizens,
arrested the two Bantons On searching their
establishment they found number of presses,
Zone Of which will weigh 5000 lbS.;) stamps,
dyes, cIuclbles, metals, and every other article
necessary for counterlGlting, all OF which were
taken in charge by the Sheriff. and the offend
ers committed for trial The father Of these
two young men had often been suspected Of
carrying on this business, and had once or
twice been arrested, but through his wealth al
ways managed to escape punishment. He had
finally, a few years ago, 10 leave the State and
flee TO Texas, where he now resides.

EXTRAORDINARY METEOR. AneXtraordnary
meteor was observed at Fayetteville, n. c., be-
tween and 8 o'clock on Monday morning last
It's explosion was like violent thunder, and
aroused many of the citizens from their slum-
bers, who imagined that terrible storm was
passing over the city; but on looking out they
were astonisled to find the sky clear and Sc
rene. The Carolinan says: at rose much in
the direction of sunrise, and rapidly moved TO-
wards sunset. 1t appeared at first, says one OF
our informants, about as large as bushcl mea-
sure; and increased in magnitude rapidly as it
approached Just as it,apparently, passed tho
limits OF the town, it burst into fragments with
an awful explosion, and was seen 10 more. Its
whole passage did not occupy half a minute
Many persons who saw this unusual sight, ac-
knowlodged themselves frightened. One gen
tleman who was at his window at the time, de-
clares that it knocked him backwards like an
electric shock, and created a sensation which
had not then a or ) hours after left him.

ANOTHER STORM AT CINcINNATI. On We'd
nesday last there was another violent thunder
storm at Cincinnati. The rain fell in torrents,
perfectly deluging the city and surrounding
county. The tannory of Mr.. Hepworth was
again overlooked to the depth of I or s feet,
1000 hides buried in mud and sand, and ten
cords Of bark swept of. The brewery of MIR.
Jones; the ink factory of Mr.. James; the brick
yards around the city, and various other estab-
lshmcnts, were either destroyed or much dam
aged, while many persons narrowly escaped
drowning in the act of saving their floating pro-
petty. All that part Of the city called Texas,
lying between Richmond and Lawrence SITS,
was completely inundated, and in some places
to the depth of G, I, s and 10 feet! An I'M
mense amount of damage has been done in cell
lars, as they filled, in many instances, in FIVE
minutes-so sudden was the storm.

WILL THERE BE WAR WITH MEXICO: This
is question which will generally be answered
in the negative. The New Orleans Bulletin, in
commenting on the news tro'n Corpus Christi
which we gave yesterday from the Picayune,
says it confirms the opinion that there will be
10 declaration of wal by Mexico.
1t seems, adds that paper, that Gen, Arista
has yet made no demonstration towards the
threatened invasion Of Texas. On the contra
ry, he has not dared even to cross the Rio
Grande, but has slut himself and troops up in
Natamoras, as j! himself expecting an inva-
sion, instead of showing the intention Of push
ing the war into the cncmy's country. All the
rumOrs about the large divisions that Mexico
was marching or the iionue,r have turned out
to be untrue, or much exaggerated. There is
no preparedness for offensive operations.
The ostcnsible purpose seems to be, to stand
on the defensive, and maintain TIE boundary Of
the Rio Grandc. This is fully demonstrated
by the movements of Gen. Arista Had the
intention been to claim the Nucccs as the boun-
dairy, there certainly should have been all at
tempt to occupy some military position on the
western bank Of that stream. This apparent
acquescence Of the Mexicans in recognizing
the Rio Grandc as the line of limits, removes
the only difficulty we have ever arprehcndod
as likely to lead to hoStllites. We have al
ways indicated Il collision between the troops
of the two Governments on the boundary as
the most probable cause of an outbreak.
This danger we consider now to be removed
by the disposition evinced by the Mexicans to
keep within their own lines, having the deep
waters of the Rio Grande and the fortified
walls of Matamoros between them and all
harm from the Americans. The posture of
affairs is certainly most pacific. In the mean
while, it will not be advisable on our part to
be slack IN prepare tons to meet the contin-
gency Mexico threatens. Our surest guaran-
tee for peace is--to be prepared for war.

publications heretofore Of private papers, il never
has occurred that the whole of AN individuals pri-
vaie and most confidential papers through active
career Of more than quarter OF century, have been
nefariously obtained and spread before the world.
Nor is it any extenuation Of this grossly immoral
act that II tends to unvei the real characters Of men
eminent for public station, and high in public conf
dence, and to show that neutrality-suspicious. Of regard
Tor the peoples interests and the peoples rights are
o9t covers to the most profound and mercenary self
ishness. ri
Even lessons such as these are not TO be taught al
the expense of what is right and becoming positive
evil may not be perpetrated in the hope that good
may be the result.
II the public press generally the public senti-
ment do not reprove this feonous publication there
is no longer any security for private and
correspondence Of any sort n political antipathies
or resentments can palliate this publication other
antpathles and other resentments may induce and
justify the breaking into other private repositories
and the publishing for the qualification of envy ha-
tired, and all uncharitableness, of whatever may
there be found. In this view, we have seen with
pain that the Tribune opens its columns TO repub-
LEGATION of some Of the letters. This cannot be
right, and therefore cannot be expedent even for
paper so profoundly partisan that is; for, in the
long run, men of oil parties must find that honor
and good faith are OF more value than any tempo
rary or accidental advantage to be obtained at their
expense. Ft
In our little sheet, at any rate---which walks amid
parties IN armed neutrality, and aims to speak truly
and decorously Of all, and especially prefers to be
able To chronicle good Of each rather than TO record
evil OF eiiher--no place be found for extracts
from publication, such as we have described this
TO be; and which derives sanction, certainly nor
claim TO confidence from the name and history Of

From the baltimore Republican. Sen,

The coNTEsT.--We are now in the midst of
contest which promises most fattering results.
From different parts of the State, we learn that
our friends are determined to do their full duty
From the third congressional district, particularly,
have such intelligence causes us to feel perfect
ly confident that the democrats of that portion of the
Stale will give good account of themselves, having
buried all dssensons, and periodically determined to
show their full strength, and wipe of the mputafion
ofhaving surrendered themselves their opponents
No part ofthe State has sounder democrats than
the Old Tenth Legoni and nothing but the state of
the weather, the unusual time of holding the eec
ton, and too full confidence in their immense
strength, enabled the cunning day-and.night work
ing of coonery, once to deceive them. They have
since that anxiously awaited the time to place
themselves again in the first rank; and this day
week they will do il most efIcctuay, despite the
tricks and misrepresentation resorted 10, for the
purpose of defeating the able gentleman who is the
democratic candidate for Congress- The other can
didates for the legislature, &c, are on the track
and certain ola full vote; and we shall once more
have the pleasure ofplacing the democracy of the
"Tenth Legion" side by side with invncible Bal
timore. In our city, the. temporary clouds which
for while obscured our sky, have passed away;
and we feel it in our bones, that high pumed vic
tory awaits our tickets. Let our friends, however
every energy; and it will be seen by their papers,
that they indusrlously at work in their wards.
We should be fully organized and prepared for any
movement that they may make. Although there are
atpresent three tickets in the field we should depend
upon our own strength alone, which is amply suffi-
Gent ifbrought out, to defeat all opposition, COM
bnsd or single We therefore again say, our pros
poets are bright indeed--let push on to victory
neither looking the right nor lef calculating and
relying upon oion friends and orn erertions,
This done, and are sate-come what will, happen
what may.

man named Hunter Hill was arrested yester-
day, by officers Leonard and Brown, charged with
the murder Of Major Robert R. Smith, Of Suffolk,
Nansemond county, Va. Il appears that Smith
was in command Of company Of men, organized
for the purpose of preventing instructions among
the slaves, and the prisoner applied 10 him for an
appointment in the corps but Major Smith, think

station, gave the appointment TO another person.

up TO the door and called him out, saying that he
wanted to speak to him. Soon nficr, they were
