GREAT HAUL OF CoUNTERFEITERs-Sl
600 SPURIOUS MONEY FOUND IN THEIR Posses.
sroE.-A considerable excitement has been mani.
tested by our citizens for day or two, owing
to the capture of FIVE or six notorious counter.
feiters, and the securing Of 3 1000 or $4,000
of their money. The circumstances of their
arrest, as near as we can learn from the officers
are as follows:
Last Saturday, four pieces Of baggage came
checked to this place from Geneva, and without
any person accompanying to claim them. The
baggage-master at the depot, TO whom is due
the most praise for their arrest, being eonycrsant
with the fact that conductors on the road had
for some months past been more or less troubled
with spurious bills being offered them.
Supposing from the appearance of the bag
gage that possibly il might contain implements
for countcrfeiting purposes, adviced MIR. Rutter,
the superintendent, of the matter, but received
negative answer when questioning him as to
the proptjety Of examining it. On Sunday, the
baqgage-mas.er concluded he would run the
risk aud ascertain the contents Of the several
pieces. With officer Comstock's assistance, he
opened the pieces which consisted Of trunk,
two valises and box, there found their dies,
paper, ink, rollers. &c, aud counterfeit money

for George w. Sicknor, the chief of the gang,
and two brothers
On landing at Geneva he discovered one Of the
brothers near the wharf, and secured him, and
started for the othe-, whom he overhauled in
season 10 rcturn by the boat that day, learning
by them that Geo w. was ut Jefferson.
On arriving at Jefferson the two persons were
secured in room at the depot, aud he sailed
forth for the third, and had not proceeded many
yards before he ran on the him and touched his
shoulder likewise. lie then proceeded up to his
place, and they were safely lodged in Sheriff
Reeder's quarters.
Tuesday morning officer Brown arrested a
fourth, named Wiesener, and Sheriff Reeder
the fifth, and constable Cowen was dispatched
after the fourth brother near Oswego, but has
not returned up to the time Of writing this.
They arc all safely secured 10 jail, and will be
examined to morrow morning, together with

HEAVY FALURE.-The Springfield Repub-
lican says:
"The Goodman Paper Manufacturing Com
pany at South Hadley have failed. Their
liabilities amount to something like $4,000
their assets to $4,000. The effects Of this
failure fall quite severely upon some Of the in
nocent stockholders.--In consequence Of the
failure to advertise an annual statement of the
condition of the company, in compliance with
the State laws, the private property Of the
stockholders is holden for its debts, and thus
while the creditors will get their just dues, a
few unsuspecting stockholders, farmers and
others, will suffer materially, and in one or two
cases be totally ruined.
Some who had timely warning Of the crash,
escaped its effects by transferring their property
and leaving this region. This only makes the
result worse for the few. The conductors Of
the corporation made a dividend from last
years business, of 10 per cent, and thus made
the stockholders believe everything was pros
porous. But it now appears that the money to
pay this dividend was borrowed ?"

Much excitement at present exists here in re-

and gone off en- route for Cardenas. Several
left yesterday to-day, and Others ARE pre-

Two steamers have been purchased by the
Cubans to forestal their designs.

events in regard TO the present Cuban revolu-
luton, will continue until something definite is

FTFTy'FoRTy FoRTy.--The people Of Oregon
still maintain that their northern boundary is no

OF the same opinion in other parts Of our glori-

above the line of49, have proved the existence
ofrch gold deposits near the shore of the Straits,
and the news by the last Oregon mail is to the
effect that hundreds of northern neighbors are
about to take mp their quarters in what have
been deemed by certain credulous people part
OF her majesty's omnions. II appears, how
ever, that the royal power Of England has deter
mined to de end these mines from intrusion, by
calling the entire force upon the Pacific coast to
rendezvous ut this point; and IL the attempt is
made to oust the occupants, we may end some

GOLD FIsHISG IN HuNeARY.-The Gasene de
Bresldu says, that when Georgey retreated from
Comorn toward the Thesis, in the summer of
I849, he took with him seventeen wagons laden
with gold ore, which had been sequestered by
the commission Of national defence to prevent
their falling into the hands Of the Austrians.--
Upon arriving at the marshy banks Of the Thesis
il was found difficult to convey the wagons
across, without delaying the movement Of the
army, and they were thrown into the river The
director Of mines in Upper Hungary has now
organized force Of miners and engineers, with
the hope OF recovering the greater portion Of
the treasure, seeing that the specific gravity Of
the ore will most probably have prevented its
being carried away by the current. The value
Of the golden mineral thrown into the Thesis is
estimated without exsggeration, at from three 10
four hundred thousand horins,

A NEWLY DISCOVERED MANuRE.-The St.
Vincent Royal Indies Gazette mentions that a
gentleman Of that island has sent to England a
quantity OF pozzolona, to have it tested as cement,
and was agreeably surprised to learn that the che
mist who tested it had declared il to be the best
manure that had yet ever been discovered, and
hat il was far preferable to guano. The gentle
man in question was compmented on having a
mine of wealth superior to gold. When it is con-
sdered (says the Gazette) that the island abounds
in this valuable substance-the best cement, and
as it now appears, the best manure known, we
cannot refrain from offering rpublic congratu-
lations on the recent discovery, which must ere
long bring great wealth into the island by supply
ing them with an article which must be much
needed by the sugar growers. Pozzolona from St.
Vincent could Of course be supplied here much
cheaper than guano, and nigh, in consequence OF
its cheapness be extensively used.
st. Vincent is one OF the Windward islands,
about as far from us as Martinique, to which we
thirk, cargoes Of corn are frequently sent from
Virginia. Ii can not be expensive or difficult TO
make return cargo of pozzoona. This material
sis kind of substances formed OF volcanic ashes,
and most probably abounds throughout all the
islands, including Martinique, Of volcanic forma-
ton, which comprise about half the groupe. Sup
pose some of our enterprising farmers on the
Rappahannock or Potomac make small expert
ment with it. il may be superior, and must be
a very different, manure from guano, wanting
probaly all the organic elements, especially, the
ammonia Of that substance.

DEATH AMONG THE FoREIGNERs.-The re-
turns of the deaths in the city of Cincinnati show
that very large portion Of the number are Of
our foreign population. The report of deaths
last week by cholera were six; of these FIVE
were of foreigners. OF l29 deaths of other
diseases, 81 were inferred in the foreign grounds,
and III in Potter's Field. These are nearly all
foreigners, while some of foreipn birth are
buried in other grounds. From this it appears
that out Of 1876 deaths, l08 were foreigners
