St. Louis Criminal Court.
The defendants were indicted in the Grim
inal Court, and fined one thousand dollars
each, for violation Of the first and second
sections Of the act 10 prevent illegal bank
ing. These sections are as follows:
81. No person, unauthorized by law,
shall create or put in circulation, as circu-
iating medium, any note, bill, check or tick
ct, purporting that any money will be paid
TO the receiver or holder thereof, or that it
will be received in payment of debts, or to
be used as currency or medium of trade,
in lieu of money.
50. If any person issue, put in circula-
lion, sign, counlersign, or endorse any such
note, bill, check or ticket, he shall be fined
not less than two hundred and fifty dollars,
one half TO 60 to the prosecutor, and the
other half to the county in which the Of
fence shall be committed
The indictment contained two counts. one
on each OF the above sections. In support
OF this indictment, certificates of deposit of
various denominations, payable to the bearer
at the banking house of Flagg & Savage,
Quincy, ILL.,, were offered in evidence, and
proved to have been created, put in circula.
ton, signed, &c., by the defendants.
Ii was held, RYLAND, Judge, delivering
the opinion of the Court, that the evidence
did not sustain the indictment-that the
word supporting" in the statute and in the
indictment, was used in its technical sense,
and that the instruments offered in evidence
must, on their face, purport what the in
dictment states them 10 purport. Judg-
,aent reversed. Judge GAABtr conc,rsing

The advantages of this contract need scarcely
be urged upon wealthy men or merchants, for they
rarely neglect it, and if they Do, fires leave them

boring men, mechanics, and others of moderate
means--who. perhaps have little else than home
and its contents in the world.

may visit them at any hour. would leave them
homeless. and with no capital but their labor, to
begin again the struggle Of life, and years of Toll
and watching must pass before they can regain
what they have lost, if indeed it is ever DONE
To such, insurance is duty. If the individual
is worth little, the expense is less; if he owns
much property, still the expense is trihng, and by
investing few dollars he is safe. If he is over
taken by misfortune, and his all laid in ashes. he
receives recompense in cash capital equal TO
his loss, and may soon restore what has been Ie-
stroyed.

WooDvlLLE, Macon Co., Nov. 26.
DEAR TIMES: have contemplated writ
ing you ever since the close of the Con-
gressional canvass between Messrs. Lind
ley and Jackson, but have not done so.-
You, however, have been my weekly visitor
and friend during which time, and have
been your minute peruser and investigator,
and should you survive, and continue in
the land of the living, (Which doubt not
youwih,) l calculate to continue the same
process for many years yet TO come, and l
survive at the same time. Ell
Many new occurrences both in national
and local point Of view, have taken place
since my last correspondence with you,-
among which the aoted and celebrated Claib
Fox Jackson, the notorious For, has re-
moved from our District, and in whose
stead Judge HALL OF Randolph, and Gen.
CLARK OF Howard, are now cndeavoring 10
stand, and take the same position he did in
the last canvass. Which of the two will
succeed is yet unknown, but 10 be deter
mined by their respective friends.
| anticipate warm and animating can
vass next summer, owing 10 the many i'm
portant and grave questions that will no
doubt be introduced into said canvass. The
only thing fear relative 10 the same, is,
that Col. LINDLEY will not be able (should
there be an extra session of Congrcss) 10
90 the rounds in the district with his OPP
ponent, be him Hall, Clark or Richardson.
ain certain Of one thing, and that is, that COL
LINDLEY possesses as much talent, and more
100, than any'candidatc the Antics can pro-
duce, in this District and not only in this
District, but in the State Of Missouri, and
can sustain any point that may be introduced
into the canvass at every hazard. Be their
candidate (the Antics who he may, one
thing is evident, and that is, he will be
served as their illustrious Claib was, de-.
teatsi.
shall watch the movements of the enc
my in this vicinity, and give .4bner u blizzard
now and then, and endeavor to keep him
from underit he'cuTfain.
It seems that the recent speech made by
Davy Atchison in Fayette, has caused the
abdication Of our neghbor, B. H. Twombly.
l know Of nothing else that could have
caused the retirement. He probably may
have learned when on his visit east, that
Cid Bullion is really more popular in his

patience, out in these northern parts; though
we would advise you 10 be sure and JOIN
