Us A few days since we published para.

perpetrated on the HoOsier State by gang
of deck passengers. The Evansville Journal

Amasa and Lorenzo Chaplin and Earle arriv-
ed here yesterday morning. Adams Chaplin
is by this time at his home in Wisconsin, and
the remainder are on their way up on the

have heard, the whole thing has ended in Il
grand fizzle. II seems that there was no
difficulty whatever experienced in procuring
the requisite sureties. While upon this sub

Forgery an d Shooting.

A man by name of DR.. Marks, resident
Of Sacramento, on Green River, KY, waa
last week detected in several ingenious for
geries. One of his neighbors, Mr.. Eaves,
had been in the habit of endorsing the DIR. g
notes in bank, and was called upon some time
since to back note for $500, payable at
Russelville. This note the doctor altered to
$500, and drew the money. When this
note was near maturing, the doctor called
upon MIR. Eaves to endorse bill for Sooo,
saying that he wished to take up the SOU
note, and wanted $500 for other purposes.
The doctor got another endorser upon the
note, altered it to $4,000, and presented IL
at the Greensboro Bank to be discounted
when he was informed that the second en-
dorser was then under protest, otherwise the
bill would be cashed. The doctor again
went to Dir. caves, and stated the circum-
stances, and new note for $500 was made.
This last note was changed to $500, and
the money drawn. The cashier of the bank
at Owensboro had previously written to MIR.
Eaves, stating his regrets that the note of
DR.. Marks for $4,000, upon which he was an
endorser, could not under rule of the insti-
tuition be cashed, and that no disrespect or
ldisparagement to his credit was intended by
I the refusal.
! The cashiers letter ''let the cat out Of the
Bag" and Dir. Eaves began to look into the
matter. He found the doctor and made him
disgorge ST. of the money he had obtain
ed, intending to proceed against him legally
for further satisfaction. An attempt was
subsequently made TO arrest the doctor, but
he was found armed to the teeth, and shot
one OF his pursuers, breaking his leg at the
thigh, and fed He spent Thursday night
last in this city. Several men from Rumsey,
Ky, were here on Friday, in pursuit of him.
They were making a very bad chase OF it,
and we presume the doctor is yet enjoying
his liberty. 1t was only necessary to set our
sheriff and marshal after him, and he would
be caught in double quick time, but our Ken
lucky friends were unwilling to make it an
object for them TO pursue him. The doctor
is known to be shooting man and an ugly
customer.

OF The New York National Democrat,
which fought like tiger for Pierce in 1852,
is now fighting against him like two tigers.

of the New York custom-house:
Under the direction Of those twin traitors.
John Cochrane and John Van Buren,, all
manner of thieves, assassins, convicts. ard
ial-birds have been placed in posts of trust.
To such shameful extent has this business
been carried, that there are many merchants
who, aware OF the character OF some OF the
men who hold office, are in the habit OF Sc nd
ing their own clerks 10 watch their goods
while i'm the hands of the United States Of
fcers. Such a state OF things is irightfuI to
Thick upon. IfJohn Cochrane is not remov-
ed, it will not be six months before the mer-
chants of New York will move in body
against him for converting the custom-house
into "den OF thieves"

there is not a mail route in Indiana where a

this. We agree with the Journal, and hope

As before said. the wheat crop in this
country will be failure. Those farmers who

scarcely get their seed back. The Mediter-

teinly doubt our zeal in opposition to that
rascally trucking to the South, that base sur
render of the rights of the North, that mis-
cradle precedent of national compact break

faces who voted for it. and of these who
now engaged whipping in their party for it,
is uceH known. Our disgust and contempt
could not be more emphaticaly shown if we
were TO write months longer on the same
subject. But we are not prepared to sympa-
thize with those Northern men, whether
Wings or Democrats, who have already COM
menced crying "Repeal or Disunion." We
are for Repeal, if such repeal can be obtained
by the ballot box, but we regard that man as
traitor to his country and unworthy of the
blessed privileges he enjoys, W no cries Dis
union under any circumstances. We be-
lieve in Jackson's principle-no reasoning
with such men, but full stretch of rope.
| But who taught these Northern fanatics to
raise the cry Of disunion, when their rights
were seemingly trampled upon! They learn
ed it from The South. The South has ever
raised it when she could not impose on the
North. She has taken that method often
and successfully, to frighten Northern dough
faces INFO sustaining her interests at the ex.

hibited by Dir. Winter, are doubtedly with
