A Good Omen.

The following from the New Hamp-
shire Patriot, President Pierce's home
organ. is probably by authority, and will
it not apply to the late appointment of U.
S. Marshal for, the Western district ofVir-
ginia ? If ever a man was struggled in
to office, he is that man.
Co11usroN.-We learn that the federal
and abolition managers in this State,
with the aid of their representatives at
Washington, are practising Fgsme with
which they expect to make trouble in our
ranks, and to retain portion of the po-
litical benefits arising from the possession
of those places. The game is this: The
Wing or Abolition postmaster is induced
to resign privately, and recommend the
appointment ola nominal Democrat, such
a one as they know would not be the
choice of the Democrats of the place for
the Office. This recommendation, back
ed by few who are in the secret, is sent
to Tuck or Hale, and on their representa-
ton the appointment is made This is
done in the expectation that the 4" fishy''
democrat thus appointed will not be re-
moved by the new administration, and
for the purpose of makiag difficulty among
democrats in regard to the Offices in ques-
ton. These men are well aware that
persons appointed in collision with them
will incur the opposition of great majo.
rity of the Democrats, who are thus de.
prived of an opportunity of having their
views and wishes consulted in relation II
the matter; and that quarrels and divi
sions among our friends will certainly re-
suit therefrom, which will weaken the
democracy, and afford aid and comfort to
the enemy.

A YOUNG INDIAN GIRL Convicted OF
LARCENY.-Anuie r. Cooper, an Indian
girl, has been convicted on two indict-
ments for the larceny of a gold watch
and daguerreotype likeness in Philadel-
phia. 1t appears from the evidence that
She has been in the practice of pilfering ar
ticles from the house where she was en-
gagged as seamstress, portion of which
she made presents of to certain ladies
of the city. Being a young woman of
good educution, and of considerable in
telligence, she correspondent with the wife
of the Rev. Mr.. Clark, who conducts re-
ligious magazine, and represented herself
as a Southern girl. giving her name as
Annie Greyson. Some of these letters
were exhibited in court, and while they
show the prisoner to be well educated
and strong minded woman, they at the
same time prove the gross deception she
has practised. TO carry on her deception
she stole daguerreotype of the daughter
Of Mr.. Lewis Lyons, and sent it to Mrs.
Clark as the picture of "Annie Grey
son." her assumed name. She got an
other daguerreotype of two children of a
Mr.. Hart, and sent it also as members of
the Greyson family. She introduced re-
ligious topics into her letters. which she
enlarged upon with much ability and ap-
parent sincerity. 1t came out on the ex-
animation that she has written for Go
dey's Magazine and others of equal cele-
brity.
Her counsel. VIM. f. Lehman, declined
defending her in the second case. She
assumed her own defence, and though the
testimony was direct against her, she
made most ingenious and able one
Her address to the jury, says the Sun
was marked by great command of Ian
guage, intensity of feeling, and depth o
Thought. The effect of her eloquenct
and chasteness Of language was visible il
the countenances of her jurors, and Mr.
Mann, for the prosecution, found it ne
cessary to make a second speech agains
her. She explained her apparent gull
by saying that she took the daguerreotype
and the other small articles, for the pur
pose of mistifying her correspondence, BY
presenting them to her correspondence
She commended that the artless story of thu
young witness, whose mind had been i'm
pressed with her mysticims, should no
be permitted to weigh heavily against her
and concluded with an imprisoned ap
peal to their better feelings.
