ARREST OF THE THIEF AND RECOVERY
OF THE MONEY STOLEN FROM THE BANK
OF THE STATE OF New YoRK.-A few
days since, as will be remembered, q
bag containing s87,8f in bank bills,
was mysteriously stolen from the coun-
ter of the Bank of the State of n. York,
Just before the hour of closing. 1t ap-
pears that on Saturday afternoon, Or
Ger Keefe, of the Chiefs Office, was in
a public house on Broadway, where he
met a suspicious character, known as
Chauncy Johnson, for whom he had, for
some time, been looking, and suspecting
that he knew something of the robbery,
the officer took him aside, and charged
him directly with it. johnson offered
Officer Keefe 81, 900 to let him escape.
The officer pretended to accept the bribe,
and the fellow then told him that he
was in possession Of all the money, and
said that it was at his room in Conn
merce-st. The two then proceeded in
that direction, but the officer, in learn
ing the number of the house, arrested
the rogue and lodged him in the Fif-
teenth Ward Police Station. He then
proceeded to search the room of his pris-
oner, and found about s83, 900 Of the
stolen money, wrapped up in an old
flannel shirt. This money was forth
with placed in the hands of the Chief Of
Police. Johnson was yesterday remov-
ed to the Chiefs Office, where he is
now confined. This same individual
was arrested in July last, for stealing q
box containing 800 from behind the
counter of LovejOy's Hotel, but on trial
he was acquitted in consequence Of the
absence of the principal witness for the
prosecution. He is a young man. Of
rather sporting appearance, and has
lived most of his days in that city. The
S5, 600 reward offered by the Bank for
the recovery of the stolen money, win
probably be awarded to the officer who
made the important arrest.

CHARLEY HoY, THE BorTLE-SroPER
MAN. AND THE MEIGs COUNTY DEMoc-
RAcr.-The Meigs County Telegraph
contains communication from G. w.
Hoy wherein be belabors those Demo
Gratis of Meigs who have given no help
ing hand to his proposed project of star
ting Democratic paper in that county.
Charley says they oppose it because he
is temperance man. He talks right
out in meeting. as the following extract
will show:
But have been driven from the idea
of starting a Democratic party paper,
and therefore calculate to start an inde-
pendent paper here, one that will speak
out fearlessly on all subjects. l do not
wish to throw brands into the Demo
cratic ranks, but when majority of that
party hearken unto the voice of a FEW
unprincipled leaders, and hear the char
acter of fellow Democrat traduced, it
is time to apply that first great law Of
nature, self protection. l wish it par
ticularly understood that l am not be
holden to the few upstart politicians, who
opposed me in starting paper here, on
account of my temperance principles
those principles are dear to me, and 1
shall not sacrifice them to the whims of
any man or of any party. But those
who oppose me are the ones who need a
prohibition of the liquor traffic the most,
for then their brains could be saved from
the ravages of the fiery drug.

Gale on Lake Ontario - five Vessel.
Wrecked.


The Rochester Union says there was
severe gale on Wednesday night and
Thursday morning on Lake Ontario
The wind blew heavily from the north.
west, accompanied with snow squalls.
The schooners 0ntonagon and Pales-
tine, loaded with railroad iron, bound
from Kingston to Cleveland, went ashore
eight miles west of this place, near
Braddock's Bay. The vessels will
prove total loss, or at least SO think
those who have examined them. The
iron will doubtless be saved. The
crews succeeded in getting safety
ashore.
Both vessels are fully insured. The
Palestine, after beating on the rocks
near four hours, filed with water, and
will prove total loss. The Ontonagon
will fare no better.
There was thick snow storm pre-
vailing at the time, and the disaster is
attributed tothe variation of the needle,
caused by the iron with which the ves-
sci was loaded.
We hear that three other vessels are
ashore some 90 miles east Of this port,
but have received no parhculars.-Buf.

UNION OF SPAIN AND PoRrUeAL--
The Paris correspondent of the Londeu
Times, states that the question Of the
union between Spain and Portugal, is
again seriously discussed by persons Of
all parties; and the difficulty that would
otherwise be encountered in the unwil-
hngness Of Portugal to be absorbed, as e
were. in the larger country, would be
removed BY calling to the crown Of the
"Iberian Peninsula" the Duke Of Bra
ganza, son of the Queen Donna Maria
da Gloria, and who Is now in his nth
year. However feasible, or otherwise,
the matter is really discussed.

Gentlemen, LrishMen, Citizens, Soldiers
of Ameriea:-I am unable to begin to
express my gratitude and delight at this
manifestation of your good will. For
many long day l have pined to set my
foot on the shores of America. The
banner that the New York Militia Reg
iments have undertaken to guard, is
glorious banner, and l hope the Irish
men who serve under it will for ever
defend it to the death. Cheers. 1
know, indeed, that Irishmen who enlist
in the American army will be true, as
they ever have proved themselves to
their adopted land, and that when they
have an occasion they will carry their
banner deep into the ranks of the enemy.
[Cheers. l viii say nothing about
Ireland on this occasion, although God
knows 1 feel much tonight, but as 1 see
Irish armed men arrayed in glittering
phalanx before me, | cannot help remem-
bering the words of Sarsfeld on the
Plains Of London when he exclaimed,
80 God, that this were for Ireland"
Loud cheers. 1 will ask you to ex-
cuse me tonight from further speaking,
as l have Just arrived from long and
fatiguing journey. But l hope to have
speedy opportunity of addressing my
countrymen and Americans in the City
of New York at greater length. Indeed
1 should be very sorry if did not have
that occasion afforded me. With most
heartfelt thanks l take my leave of you
tonight. Loud and prolonged cheer

H A petition is now being circu-

sented to the legislature at its approach

a charter and give aid for the construc-
ton of railroad from the intersection
of the Covington and Ohio railroad
with the Kanawha river at the mouth OF
Scary Greek, thence down the Kanawha
river, crossing it at Red House shoals,
and by the town of Buffalo to its termi-
nation at Point Pleasant.

habiting the country on the proposed
route, but also from the assurance o
the increased travel and transportation
it would give upon the great line now in
course of construction, between the
Ohio and Atlantic ports in Virginia.
After the efforts made and the money
expended by the people of the Eastern
portion of Massachusetts,, New York,
Pennsylvania and Maryland to partici-
pate in and draw to the Atlantic ports,
portions of the trade and travel Of the
Mississippi, no doubt can remain of the
soundness of this policy to Virginia.
Virginia has one railroad in course oI
construction to terminate at the line
dividing her territory from the State OF
Kentucky, leaving the whole western
boundary of the State from the Ken
lucky line to that of the State of Penn
sylvania untouched by any railroad
and of course of any terminus of any
railroad belonging to Virginia, in that
great distance of her territory on the
Ohio river.
The road to Sandy is too low down to
participate largely in the trade of the
State of Ohio. Theroad to the mouth of
the Great Kanawha now asked for would
penetrate more readily the central part
of that State by short line connection
with the Cincinnati and Belpre road
now constructing
The railroads in Indiana and Illinois
have been located with a view to a con-
nection with the roads of Ohio remain
ing East and West, and therefore would
give portion of trade and travel from
that wealthy region. The landing at
Point Pleasant is unsurpassed; the har-
Dor for boats in the mouth of Kanawha
is one of the best on the whole course of
the river Western Messenger.

LouIsvIILz, Nov. 50.
The Salt Lake mail has arrived at In
dependence.
A letter from Governor Young, Of
Utah. states that Capt. Gunnison's sur
veying party had been surprised by the
Utah Indians. An express messenger
from Capt Morris reached Gov. Young
on the 3fst October. bringing the intel
ligence. The particulars are as follows:
Gunnison and a party of twelve men
separated from the rest, while at break
fast, when band of Indians who, intent
upon destroying a Mormon village,
came upon them, and fred on them, with
rifles, and afterwards with bows and
arrows. Gunnison's party returned the
fire, but was overpowered, and only
four Of them escaped.
The massacre took place on SEWER
river. Among the killed are Capt.
Jennison and Kerne, Typographical En-
gineer: William Porter, guide, and
three privstes belonging to a company
of rihemen. Jennison's body when
found, had twenty-six arrow shots IN it,
and one Of his arms was cut of. The
mules and arms, and all their surveying
instruments, with their,notes were taken.
The survey had been nearly completed,
and the party soen intended going into
winter quarters. Gov. Young immedi-
ately dispatched aid to Capt. Morris,
who was in a critical position amidst
hostile and treacherous Indians. A
party of Cheyenness surrounded the
mail train, and demanded most all the
provisions, which had to be given up.
