Look out for BOGUS Coin.

Counterfeit quarter dollars are
very plenty now. Look out for
them, as they are we'll calculated to
deceive. They are made of brittle
metal coated with silver in such a
manner as to have the appearance of
the best silver coin. Acids do not
affect them, but they are brighter
than the genuine, and can be detect
ed by their weight.
A new style of half and quarter
eagles have recently been put into
circulation in the East, and We shall
doubtless have them here shortly
The Baltimore Sun says both are da-
ted 1851, and are exceedingly we'll
executed; although being lighter and
softer to the touch than the genuine
coin, are easily distinguished by the
careful observer.

From the Nathville Banner, of last Thursday
Servile IaSurrecliOn.

We learned yesterday from a gen.
tleman just up from GAINESVILLE that
considerable excitement exists in that
place and throughout the country adj
iacent on account of the discovery of
the preliminary preparations of an in
sumection among the slave population,
to come off on the Oath of Deem
Der. Quite number of negroes had
been arrested and confined, and seve-
ral had made confession. In the
neighborhood of Louisa Furnace, a
plan to blow up church was discoy-
cred and thwarted. A keg of pow
der had been placed under the build
ing ready for the fatal match. A large
collection of arms and ammunition
had also been discovered and seized.
A white man, we learn, who was caught
in the act Of counselling the insurrec-
ton, had been arrested aud imprisoned.
Among the negroes arrested and con-
fined are the supposed ringleaders-
the Generals and Captains, as they
are called-of the movement. The
general opinion prevails in Montgom-
cry county, as we learn from our in
formant, that the plotis deep laid, and
embraces the slaves throughout wide
extent of territory, ranging from Ken
lucky South and West.
At GAINESVILLE strong extra patrol
are on duty every night, and so well
assured are the citizens that there is
ground for precaution, that nearly ev-
cry housekeeper is prepared with
arms for any emergency.

A PLEDGE FOR LIFE.-One of the
best jokes furnished from the late
canvass, and it affords a great
many, is now being told of one of our
citizens, who it seems had become
rather fond Of the "ardent," notwith-
standing the entreaties and impor-
tunities Of his "better BALI" He
finally consented and pledged HIM
self to leave off until Fillmore was
elected President. Believing at the
time that this event would certainly
take place soon, he gave orders for a
regular built spree as soon as the
result was ascertained. The vote OF
Gibson county doubtless made his
mouth water as he looked with
yearning anxiety to the cd bottle;
but "the time is not yet" and we are
very much inclined to think, as we'll
as rejoice, that he will live sober
man the balance of his days. The
same pledge might have been of i'm
mense service to many another poor
fellow that we know, of the same
faith; if they had thought of it in
time. Trenton Journal.

THE VoTE OF THE SOUTHERN CoUN-
TIES OF THE FREE STATES The Sou.
thern counties of New Jersey, Penn
sylvania, Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, all
show large Democratic gains. This
fact proves that those people of the
free States who reside near the slave
States, who have opportunities Of
perceiving the practical workings Of
slavery, and who have lad for years
a considerable negro population a.
moDg them,-the very people who
know most particularly about this
question, are the most determined in
their opposition to the crusade
upon the South inaugurated by
Black Republicanism. In the States
and counties farthest removed from
the slave States, Northern Illinois,
Northern Indiana, Northern Ohio,
Northern New York, and Vermont,
Maine, and Massachusetts,, where ne
groes are curiosities, where little is
known of their characters, or the
practical workings Of slavery-and
where the greatest amount of igno-
rance upon this subject prevails.
Black Republicanism receives its
largest majorities.

The 'nigger-worshippers' are already

A private letter from Morgan
county, Ill.,, informs the st. Louis
Evening News that most distress
lag casualty, or, rather, series Of
casualties, occurred about three
miles from Jacksonville, a few days
ago, to which nearly a whole family
fell victims. A small girl, daughter
of a widow named lromonger, while
feeding the pigs, having got into the
pen where they were confined for
the purpose, was attacked by a vi.
cious SOW and torn SO shockingly
that she died. A large hole was
eaten in her side by the savage beast,
and she was otherwise mangled.-
The shock on the mother at the hor-
rid spectacle, killed her, too. The
next night camphene lamp explo-
ded accidentally, in the house, kill
ing one child instantly, and SO severe
ly injuring another that it is not ex-
pected to survive. The family was
an English one, and moved from st.
Louis few months since.

THE ONLY INFALLIBLE REMEDY .
HURLEY'S
SARSAPARILlA,

nF all the remedies that have been 6iscov
~ cred during the present age for the thou
sand ills that flesh is heir TO-" none equal this
wonderful preparation. Only three wears have
elapsed since the discoverer (who spent a de-
cade in studying, experimeDtalizing and per
fecting it first introduced it to the public, and
1t is already recognized by the most eminent
physicians in all parts of the country to be the
most surprising and effective remedy for Ger
tain diseases of which they have knowledge.
All other compounds or syrups Of the root
have hitherto failed to command the sanction
of the faculty, because On being tested thew
have been found to contain noxious ingredi-
ents, which neutralize the effects Of the sar-
saparilla, and oftentimes injure the health of
the patient. 1t is not so with Hurley's pre-
paration.
This is the pure and genuine extract Of the
root; and will, on trial, be found TO effect a
certain and perfect cure Of the following com
plants and diseases
Debility, Habtual Costiveness,
Disease Of the Kidneys Indigestion,
Dyspepsia, Liver Complaint,
Erysipeias. Piles,
Female Irregularities. Pulmonary Diseases.
Fistula, Scrofula or Kings Evil,
And all Diseases Of theSyphilis.
Skin
Besides curing the above, it is also known
to be great and powerful tonic, purifying the
blood and invigorating the system.
/ In short, it is without exception, in the ca
ses mentioned and its general effect on the
system, the most efiicacious, as il is most de-
sirable. remedy ofthe age. It'll already extern
ivelsy used throughout the country. and is
fast obtaining an European reputation. The
instances of cures i; has effected are daily
coming to the proIretor's knowledge. and he
has no hesitation in recommending il 10
one and all who desire to procure relief from,
sufferings One bottle being tried, its effects
will be too apparent to admit Of further doubt.
Recollect Hurley's Ssrsaparilla is the only
genuine article in the market.
