post haste from point the Humboldt, eighty
miles above the Sink. This gentleman reports
the large train of wagons and stock, belonging
to himself and Company. to have reached the
Humboldt in fine condiiion-he having left

head of cattle, owned by Messrs Livingston and
Kncaid, of Salt Lake, had already crossed The

Lake last fall. which now constitutes the lading
of their train. 1t was worth. on the Humboldt,
40 cents, and in Carson Valley % cents None
other could be obtained at either locality, and in
fact the article was scarce, aud dear even at Salt
Lake. The influx of Mormons, and the other
large sales made to spectators, induced the
scarcity.
Col. Holiday thinks the emigrants from At
antic States, particularly the earlier, must suffer

IMPoRTA T Discoveries AT San FRANcIs CO.
Mr.. Chas. Duane, Fire Warden, whilst Ell.
gagged in his official capacity, discovered such
a variety Of suspicious looking articles lying
around as satisfied him that The building about
which they were scattered, demanded the strict
est scrutiny.
'.On entering the house he discovered, be-
sides the numerous articles of machinery for
coming money, trap door leading TO some hid
den vault beneath, and once in the adventure,
he determined TO the last of it. He lifted
this romantic trap door, and descending, found
roomv department, dark, damp, and subter-
ranean-jnsl such place as Mrs. Radcliffe
would have delighted to describe Here he
discovered rolling mill of German manufac-
ture, complete array OF toals, dies, screws,
files material for making the co n, a stamping
machine and press, and several specimens OF
the handiwork OF the rascais, in the shape OF
coin, from s. TO $50. The particulars he inn
parted to the City Marshall who Informed him
that the place had been long known To him and
his possee, and that for some weeks a regular
watch was kept upon the premises by chosen
officers, in hopes of finding some claimants TO
these pretty tools. Every thing but the press,
weighing nearly three tons, has been removed
to The City Hall, Where they remain for the ex
animation of the curious. That more than
regularly organized band of counterfeiiers
even now III existence among U.S. we feel as
sured, not only from the information given Us
in confidence by members OF the police, but
from certain facts connected with the circula
ton OF the $50 pieces, mentioned few days
since"
The value of the machinery brought to light
is estimated at $4,000. An immense capital
must have been invested by these Undiscovered
Williams, the value placed upon the slugs being
$50 each.

the HERALD. for . month at least, nor have seen
him since. The truth is that the fierce howl set up
by the Buchanan tigers, has brought an echo back to
them in their own dens, and their malignant scratch
ing has raised dust not altogether fragrant in their
nostrls. They are now swapping and growing at
this echo, caused by their own harsh notes, Let
them blame themselves when they get sick OF it. The
press of the whole State is stirred up by this late de-
velopement of Buchananism through the columns OF
the Pennsylranian. The same-the very same i'm
pulse which dictated "the letter in the HERALD" so
annoying to the Penmsylranian, has spoken out
from every point in the Commonwealth where
tongue or pen existed capable Of being moved by
such fragrant njustiee-such black vengeance shown
upon peerless mentor having loved Gen. Lewis
Cass.
The voice raised by the press of the State has now
frightened the Pennsytuanian-if not Mr.. Buchanan
hmself-and they have drawn in their horns in q
very ungraceful article, attempting to show them
selves the only true friends OF General Cas-, and
denying that Mr.. Buchanan will oppose Cass men
for appointments under General Pierce violently
abusing prominent Cass men in the same article.
What strange hallucnations possess their minds.
But we will leave them for the present.
The members Of the Legislature are now nearly
all in Harrisburg. They organize tomorrow. hear
many of them, from different points in the State ex-
press the utmost indignation against the persecution
of the friends of General Cass by Mr. Buchanan,
lately developed in such disgustingy malicious
shape. The Sage of Wheatland has not as much in.
uence in his State at this hour, as has General
Cas- either among the people or in Congress,
days. in the political cires here, in their converse
tons relative to the cabinet of Gen. Pierce. Mr..
Buchanans friends now declare that he would not,
under any circumstances, accept place in the cabi-
net. That he will not, most well-nformed persons
readily believe. You are at full liberty to give my
name to Mr.. Buchanan or any Of his clique, who
have opened their abuse upon the most conspicuous
friends of General Cass in this State, and will wait
for their malice only asking to have an opportunity
to tell the truth when my time shall come. have
written you through the plain dictates of Justice
alone and desire to have the real truth appear in
relation to the facts have stated. Neither Mr. Nc
ranam, as yet needs any vindicaton before tSs
country. They are highly honorable men, whose
only fault has been their love for General Glass; For
Pennsylvania to love this great leader Of American
favorte son. as his eye is cooked just at this time.
Does the Peansylcantan now think it has done any
wrong to Mr.. McAlster! Will it now do him JUS
