CouNTERFEiTERs ARRESTED IN KENTUcKY.--An
extensive counterfeing establishment has been dis
covered and broken up in Kentucky, about 40 miles
from Lexington, and FIVE miles from Stanford. II
was located upon farm, and consisted Of presses,
stamps, dyes, crucibles, &c, The counterfeiters,
John and William Banton, were arrested. The
Lexington Observer, whence we gather the particu-
lars, says:
"About two months ago, gambler, named Rob
inson, was arrested in Columbus Georgia. for pass
ing counterfeit money. The money consisted Of
notes on the Bank Of Charleston, and the South
western Railroad Bank; and such was the skill
with which they were executed, that he succeeded
in passing hundred and ninety dollars in notes
of various denominations from IS TO 900, upon
keensghted broker of that place. receiving in return
gold, at but Two per cent discount. Shortly after
the exchange WINS made, one ofthe notes was upon
examination, thought to be not genuine, which led
to more critical examination Of the whole Of
them, when they were all found TO be coun-
icrfeit. One-haf Of the business men Of Colun,-
bus, however, protested that they were genuine,
until subsequent events forced upon them the
conviction OF their baseness. Robinson was there
upon arrested, but protested vchemently his inno-
ccnce, stating that he was Kentucky drover, and
had received this money for stock he had sold. His
room, however, was searched, and in the lining of
his felow-lodgcr's cloak il discovered that he
had concealed near thousand dollars of the same
money, and also bunch Of skeleton KEYS. which
he had with him TO answer certain purposes when
his counterfeit money failed him. He was tried
before an examining court; and the evidence being
al we have stated there no hesitation as TO his
guilt, and he was sent on for final trial before the
criminal court. Shortly after his Imprisonment. he
was taken sick, and was so III that the physician
supposed he must die. Under this belief himself.
he sent for several gentlemen, and made full con.
fession and detailed all the circumstances about the
counterfeit money which had been found upon him.
He told them that he procured the money, as an
agent for its disposal, from the Bantons (John and
WilIiam,) where there was extensive manufac-
turing establishment for notes well as coin, and
that il was in constant operation. He accurately
described to them every portion Of the buildings
well az the apparatus, and gave them the names Of
many of their agents for the disposal Of the money
throughout the United States" ID
