Bogus Coin Mannfanfnru

An aged man, named James Baily
Faris, was arrested at Philadelphia on
Friday, the 9Th inst, on a charge of be-
ing counterfeiter of coins. Upon search
ing his house various dies and tools were
found, and large quantity of bogus
Spanish fps, levies, and quarters, in diff
ferent stages of their manufacture, from
the rude dieces of brass just chopped from
the sheet to the finished coin silyercd o.
yer ready for use. The tools and dies
are of the rudest description, and were
used to manufacture counterfeits having
the appearance of well-worn coin. The
materials and manufactured trash were
found secreted in all parts of the house,
from the cellar to the garret, and con-
siderable quantity of coin was found.--
Faris, after preliminary examination,
was committed to Jail, He is "a years
old.

The Arsenal War.

at present we appear to have two
Adjutants General of Pennsylania-Gen.
George w. Bowman holding on to his
Bigler commission, and Gen. Thomas Ii.
Power. claiming under tho Pollock COM
mission. A short time since the latter
addressed n note to the former, inquiring
In what way it would be most convenient
for him to hand over the books and papers
belonging to the Office; to which the for
mer replied, in substance, that it was
useless to discuss that question, as he did
not intend to hand over at all until the
expiration of his full term. From this
moment there has been war in the camp.
Dir Drane, Gen. Bowman's keeper Of the
arsenal, refused to deliver the KEYS to
Mr.. Ward, who had been appointed
keeper by Gen. Power. Matters stood
in this way until Monday morning last,
about o'clock, when the indomitable
Gen. Harms, warlike memory, followed
by brace of police officers and an exper-
fenced ock-pickcr, all acting under orders
of the CommaGdcr-;n- Chief, proceeded
TO the disputed premises, opened the
door, walked in and took possession. Mr..
Drane, getting wind of the proceedings,
and not liking the summary process by
which he was elected, proceeded to the
arsenal and ordered the intruders out.
The result was, after some conversation,
he was himself pat ont, and the Arsenal
Of Pennsylvania, with oil its arms, ac-
eoutrements and camp equipages, swords,
pistols, small arms and great guns" at
the lime of this writing, remains in the
undisturbed possession OF the Goths and
FGndals. Gen, Bowman is expected in
town today, and God only knows what
scenes may follow. 'WhenGrcek meets
Greek, then comes the tug of war; The
scenes before Sebastopol will probably be
child's play compared with those which
may tie enacted in front Of the arsenal.
