n New Counteyfeit.-Fhe Milton Chronicle
describes counterfeit $50 note on the Bank
of the State of North Carolina, of which a
number have been passed in Virginia by a
man named Madison. in the purchase of ne
groes, horses, sc. The paper of the counter
felt is thinner and whittier than the genuine,
though of better quality than The common run
of counterfeit paper. The Cashiers name
(Mr. Dewey,) is a perfect faiIure-being
elumsily executed and spelt Daury instead
of Dewey. The signature of Mr.. Cameron,
the late President of the Bank, is bad imi-
tation, and easily detected by those familiar
with that genlleman's manner of writing his
name. Although tolerable imitation of the
genuine note, yet the general Engraving is
coarser and more imperfect.

FRENCH INTERVENTION IN lTALY,-The
most important news by the america. is un-
questionably the proposed French Intervention
for the restoration of the Pope. Beyond all
manner of dispute, the French are the most
unaccountable people in the world. That
they the apostles of republicanism-the ex-
emplers of European democracy-the stead
fast opponents of interventon-should go out
of their wav-deviate from their established
policy, and perhaps involve themselves in an
en,angling dispute in favor OF hereditary po'
tentate, is one of the anomalies that only the
nineteenth century could produce.
Whatever may be the merits of the case
whether the Pope be right or whether he be
wrong-we think is a matter for the Roman
people themselves to decide, and no one else
has any right to interfere. In his capacity as
| ruler of the Papal States, other nations car
only regard him as temporal prince, exerci
sing temporal authority, and as such we car
see no mole grounds for meddling with thu
civil policy of his States, or coercing tbei
people INFO accepting or retaining any form o
government. than there would be in Francs
attempting to dictate to the people of the Uni
ted States. Ii there be any faith to be places
in appearances, France is fast returning to he
old monarchical afinilies, and we much fea
that lease during the maintenance of the re
public would be rather precarious tenure b.
which 10 hold anything of value. Of course
in this we say nothing. because we have moth
ing to say, about the matters of religious faitl
involved, (if there be any,l as we regard thi
matter altogether in its political aspect.

clines reelection to Congress, which deter.

we sincerely regret, as he has so long. so ably.
and SO faithfully, represented our district
with so much credit TO himself, and so much
usefulness to-not only his constituents, but
to the achole country We also understand
that VIM. S. Ashe, Esq, is the first choice of
the Democrats of New Hanover county to fill
the vacancy. This is very natural, for the
name of Ashe has associated there with so
much disinterested worth and patriotism, that
it is almost irresistible. II is name that we
have been taught to venerate from our youth.
But apart from this, (for we are clear for eve
ry man TO stand on his own merits,) inasmuch
as we believe Mr. Ashe to be one of your
honest, straight Jor,uard. old fashioned repub-
licans. who possesses handsome abilities, and
who would do credit TO the station And for
the further reason that he has for several years
made so many sacrifices in endeavoring 10 sus.

we are free to say that he is our first choice

Details of the Last Battle.

The details of the battle Of Gooierat brought
by the Indian mail, which left Bombay on the
18th March, realise all the hopes we enter
tanned of the complete decsiveness of the vic
tory gained by Lord Cough. The journals
which have been the loudest in decrying the
gallant commander find themselves
now compelled 10 eulogise him, and no doubt
ran be entertained but that the noble lord has
glorously redeemed his reputation for militia
ry skill, which for passing moment had
been impeached HIS bravery was never
doubted. 1t appears from the official despatch
es. the material passages of which will be
found elsewhere, that On the Goth February
Lord Cough, having been joined by the Bonn
bay column, pressed forward upon the Sikhs
| lodged around Goojerat. the British forces
amounting TO about 90, 900 men and 100 guns
| The Sikh forces were computed at 10000
men, with SO guns.
| The passage of the Sikhs over the Schenab
having been frustrated, as we have before
stated, and their designs upon Lahore thus
cIrcumvented, on the morning of the 2lst
February, Lord Cough advanced upon the en-.
envy, who was protected by one of those In
dian nulahs which have previously been his
ehectual security. The field, however, before
reaching the nuliah, was open ground With
the precision of a parade movement. the Brit
ISL army advanced, the object of Lord Cough
being TO penetrate 10 the centre of the enemy's
line with the right wing of the British, so a.
10 turn the position of the Sikhs in rear of the
nu'lah, and thus enable our left wing 10 cross
it with little loss, and in cooperation with

New ROUTE NoRTH,-It is in contempla-

Norfolk to Philadelphia, directly through the
State of Delaware, from Dover on the Della
ware, TO Seaford on the Chesapeake Bay.
The distance by railroad between these two
points is about as miles. and its estimated cost
not more than three hundred and fifty thous-
and dollars. The distance by steamboat from
Norfolk 10 Seaford is 81 miles, from Dover
10 Philadelphia, 70 mies-207 miles in all.
The distance from Weldon to Norfolk is 81
miles, making the whole distance from Wei
don to PhiladeI phia 289 miles, while by the
old routes il is 344 by way of Washington
City, and 377 by the Chesapeake Bay. As
the Rail Road from Norfolk to Weldon is in
process of substantial renewal, this line pro.
misses soon TO be built, ard put in successful
operation.

FROM SANTA FE.

We learn from the st. Louis Reveiile, that
MIR. Samuel Trussdail has arrived in that city
from Santa Fe, New Mexico. which place he
left on the 18th Of March. in company with
forty Mexicans, with train of fifteen TO twen-
~ wagons. He brings with him the remains
of Major Samuel Hackleion, of the Illinois
regiment. formerly Speaker of the House of
Representatives of Illinois. The party had
several articles stolen from them at the small
Mexican town OF SaE Miguel, which they
could not recover; among the rest, the pail
covering Major Hackle,on's coffin.
MIR. Trussdail reports large Indian encamp-
ments on the Arkansas river, for the avowed
purpose of levying toll from traders and emf
grants passing over the territory. The In
dians, however, seem friendly. Everything
quiet at Santa Fe, with nothing stirring, The
news of the California excitement had not YET
reached them. Santa Fe is behind the age.

ANNEXATION OF NoRFoLK-The papers OF

in favor of the annexation of that place to N.

be no doubt that large majority would be in
