still Moving.

From every quarter of the Commonwealth
we continue TO receive reports of the move
ments of the people in favor of Gen. Scott,
for the Presidency The Wings of Dauphin
held a meeting at Harrisburg, on the
18th inst, and adopted the following resolu-
tions:
Resolved, That the distinguished services
rendered to has country by General WIN
FIELD SCOTT, in stations civil as well as
military, have endeared him TO the hearts of
the whole American people; and that the
Wings of Dauphin county, as an evidence
Of their grateful sense of obligation for such
services, cordially unite with their fellow
citizens in other portions of the State, in an
earnest and early effort to bring him before
The people of the Union, as candidate for
the Chief Magistracy.
Resolved, That while General SCOTT is
a man Of peace in time of peace, IN war he
has exhibited the highest degree of science,
skin, and valor. and that he is Justly enti-
lied 10 be ranked the foremost Captain of the
age.
Resolved, That while General WINFIELD
SCOTT has exhibited by long life of pub
lac service both in the cabinet and the field
his competency to discharge with ability and
honor to himself and to his couatry, the du-
les ofany position in which he may be placed
and that we consequently name him as our
first choice for the Presidency in 1852.

GooD.-Here is the puff of all puHs which
we have not seen. 1t comes from the "Lone
STAR" Washington Texas:
"DRAM DRINKING.-There was never a
truer line written, than that brandy is the
bane of life If all the misery, suffering and
death, which has been caused, directly or in
directly, by this one evil, could be brought in
panoramic view before our eyes, we would
shrink back in horror and dismay, at the vast
ness of tho concourse, and the degradation of
its votaries Yet, if, notwithstanding the
certainty of the consequences, and the awful
sentence passed upon him who 'giveth his
neigbgor to drink and makes him drunken ;
if, notwithstanding our advice, and the ex-
amples which we see daily, men will drink,
they have only to call on George p Lynch,
opposite Baldridge's tavern, to have it dons up
In the latest fashion, and most genteel way
possible"

The Cuban Expedition.

Although the Government has by It's
vigorous measures, pretty much broken
up the Cuban expeditions in Georgia and
Florida, it is thought the attempt may be
renewed.
Notwithstanding the positive announce
ment from New Orleans that the project
has been abandoned, there are strong
reasons for doubling the good faith of
the statement. The different Departments
at Washington are in daily receipt of
messages, from various officers on the
look out, reporting assemblages of per-
sons, here and there throughout the SOU
thern states.
The assemblages, so far, appears to be
of unarmed men, without officers or lead
ers, and who, for aught that can be as
certained, know little about their desti-
nation.
The Government is increasing In It's
vigilance, and it will not be relaxed, al
though hourly announcements should
come from New-Orleans, or other SYM
pathising points, with semi-oficial infor-
nation that the leaders had agreed to a.
bandon the project.
Formidable as this movement may be-
come, however, there is a gratifying eer-
tainty of its failure in any event short Of
actual war between this Government and
Spain.
Information has reached the Spanish
Minister at Washington City, that the
Captain General of that Island is instruc
ted to liberate and arm the slaves in the
event of danger, and Sir II. Bulwer has
intimated that Spain will not want aSsis-
tance in case of formidable marauding
expedition. Thus, so far as PROBABILITIES
are concerned, the matter seems settled.
B~ A letter from Washington to the
Tribune says that there are increasing
evidences of a character which while they
are convincing, cannot we'll be particular
lied, going to show that the Cuba move
ment is an affair of greater moment
than has been supposed. 1t appears that
the Loco-Foco party at the South have
hand in this matter, and that the bold
design is to make the present or proSPee-
tive annexation of Cuba, as the event may
warrant, an element in Presidential can
vass. 1t is supposed that this movment
will unite the hitherto refractory factions
of the fierce democrac1e, in that turbulent
section of the union, and that with AID
of that and the &" Union" operation they
will be able to carry off Wings enough
all round to make success tolersbly eeT-
! tain.
Such seems to be newly developed
plan in the movements of this twisting,
turning, maneuvering, pipelaying and Pi-
ratical party, which is still kept together,
as of old, by the cohesive power OF
plunder."

Arrest Of a Gang of Counterfeit


The existence of gang of counterfeiters
torious, and Jacob Morris, Esq, District At
torney of Broome county, and Col. John II.
Dimmock, District Attorney of Susquehanna
county, have been acting in concert for the
purpose of bringing to justice the persons
thus engaged. Not long since two of the
gang named Taylor and Luce, passed some
altered ten dollar notes on persons living in
Broome county, and Attorney Morris procur-
ed their indictment by the Grand Jury then
in session at Binghampton, and in a few days
they were both lodged IN the jail at that place.
About the same time Mr.. Cooley and his
wife of Lanesboro, who were employed to
watch certain suspected persons, heard of
quarrel between Mr.. Aylesworth, a tavern
keeper in that place, who was believed to be
the leader of the gang, and hired girl in
the house, during which she charged him
with having all the apparatus for making
counterfeit money, and declaring that she
had seen it all. Mrs. Cooley obtained all the
facts from female friend who had been made
a confdant by the girl, and information was
Immediately sent to officers Morris and Dim
ock, who arrived in Lanesboro, with posse,
on the evening of the Sd inst. About mid
night Aylesworth's house was surrounded,
and some six or eight entered and began a
thorough search of the premises, A num-
Der of yials of chemicals" large bench for
the use Of the press, &c. were found in the
garret, and in the upper loft eight plates, used
for counterfeiting and altering bills were dis
covered hid in straw bed. No money was
found, but as they entered the room of Y. H.
Brown, he was seen to throw roll of some
thing into the stove. The Sheriff noticed
a smell of bruning paper as he opened the
door of Aylesworth's room. The premises of
James Mcdaniel, Sen.' were next examined
and complete press, ink, and fixtures for
counterfeiting and altering bills were found,
together with a small amount of counterfeit
money. The premises of James Mcdaniel,
Jr. were also entered, but it is not known
that any thing was discovered. Aylesworth,
Brown, both McDaniels and one Silas Win
tiers were arrested.
1t is supposed that these individuals are
connected in their operations with gangs in
other parts Of the country. A number of
others are said to be implicated, but the nest
is probably broken up

Extraordinary and Dangerous
Feat.

On Sunday morning, Messrs A. F. Boley
and J.. H. Mann, conductors on the Pennsyl-
yania Railroad, discovered, when they ar
rived at Harrisburg, two Irishmen asleep,
seated one on each of the cross pieces of the
break on the tracks, under the car distance
cf only eight inches from the ground. They
must have placed themselves in that situation
at Hollidaysburg, before the cars started on
Saturday evening, and rode the distance of
about las miles in that manner, merely to E.
ludc the expense of "a each, but at the same
time placing their lives in monentary jeopar-
dy, seated so close to the wheels that their
backs rubbed the grease and dust from the AK

The New Bank.

The books for the sale of stock in The
Farmers and Mechanics Bank of Easi0n,'
were closed on Saturday last. During the
week 4,300 shares were sold, mostly to citi-
zens of this borough and county, being 800
more than originally fixed upon. A much
larger number of shares would have been ta-
ken, but the Commissioners could not accom-
odate all who were anxious to invest funds in
the new institution. The bank will go into
operation under the most favorable auspices,
as soon as the charter Will permit and the ne
cessary preliminary arrangement can be made.

WESTERN PRoDUcE.-An extract of a let
ter. dated Sturges, St. Joseph co., Michigan,
says that the report circulating East, relative
to probable small wheat crop this season in
Michigan, is wholly without foundation. The
prospects for a very heavy crop were never
so favourable, in this state or Indiana, as at
the present time. Our road will groan this
season with the freight We are running
down any quantity of wheat -four now, and
think the new crop will come in as soon as
the old one is off, if not before.

The Honesdale Democrat in alluding TO
the arrest of man by the Sheriff of that
county on suspicion Of being concerned in
setting the fire in Montrose, intimates that
the late fire in Honesdale may have been
kindled by some one Of the same company
It says:
There are grounds for grave suspicious, al
least that the fine in this borough was lighted
lry the same gang of miscreants. Several of
them were here when the fire happened
Whole wagon-loads of merchandise were Ia
ken away during the excitement consequent
upon the devastation, and have not yet been
tracked out. One of the guards, stationed,
10y the borough authorities to prevent plund-
ering, was knocked down and terribly stun
ned while attempting to stop the egress OF
one of these wagons from town. His groans
attracted attention to his condition, but no
trace of the depredators was discovered.

The State Rights Convention at Charles
ton has adjourned with resolving upon
immediate secession, and for the time
being, at least, the Union may count
South Cvrolina among its jewels. An
other Convention of delegates elected by
the people of that State, (this one consis-
ted of delegates from the State Rights
Associations, which have been formed
throughout the State, has been elected
and may perhaps soon meet to deliberate
upon the same subject. We may safely
hope that will follow in the footsteps OF
its illustrious predecessor, and postpone
to future day and ripper reflection the
disruption of this Confederacy.

1SF About six rods of the Erie Railroad
track sunk at the village of Andover, Ale
ghany county, on the 29th ult. There was
an engine standing on the track at the time,
which went down with it, and nothing but
the top of the smoke chimney of the engine
remains in sight. There was no indication
previous to this of a defective bottom. The
company are actively at work building a
track around the submerged portion Of the
road. This catastrophe will not interrupt
the regular travel, as the passengers are
transferred to other cars beyond the break 1t
will not take many days to rebuild the track
on its old location.

CRops IN New JERsEY.-We had an OPP
portunity yesterday of conversing with an
intelligent gentleman from the upper farming
section of the State, and we are pleased to
learn that the prospects were never finer for
an excellent return to the labours of the hus-
bandman. The regions in the farming coun-
ties of Sussex and Warren are peculiarly fer
tile, and successful season is productive of
largely increased opportunities for the further
development of that section of the State
When, by the extension of the Morris g. Es-
sex Railroad, this garden of the State is
placed in immediate proximity with our large
city, it will afford fine home market for
their produce, adding Importantly to the val
ue of the farms Thus hand in hand GO the
great principles of American industry, the
fostering of internal improvements, and the
true interests of agriculture. NesOark Mer-

The natural snpposition would be, that it will
cause an increase in the bullion of the Bank
of England, owing to the influx of engineers
who must bring specie or its equivalent. If

we shall thus have an addition of f3,000,-

not much exceed thirteen thousand that of
the old settler Cherokees, according to Browns
Roll, will not exceed three thousand; thus
MA king the whole Cherokee population about
sixteen thousand, exclusive of whites and
blacks. There is remnant of the Chero-

all collected in their fertile country on the
