A New AND DANGEROUS CoUETERFErT.-
The Portsmouth Tribune says: ave have
seen within day or two several counterfeit
S. bills on the Southern Bank of Kentucky.
The counterfeit may be detected by the en-
craving, which IS much lighter than in the
genuine bill. The vignette on both genuine
and spurious is a farmer on horseback, over
seeing hands harvesting and loading wheat.
One mark will enable persons to detect. In
the genuine bill the head of the man recei-
wing the sheaf of wheat on the wagon is moi
darker than the rest of the picture. On the
counterfeit the head is jet black. The pa
per is rather lighter in color than the gen
uine, but heavier in ntuxture The Cashiers
name on the genuine bill is NJ. B. Morton
but in the counterfeit, the B would be ta-
ken for an 90"
A number of these bills have been offered
in Portsmouth within a few days. They
look new, and no doubt are fresh issue, as
Thompson's Reporter does dot describe
them"

The latest news from California, it will be
recoflected, brought US accounts of serious
war in Oregon, and of battle betwesn 400
regulars and volunteers and some 800 In
dians, IN which the former after nine hours
hard fighting, were compelled to retreat
The fact of an American force being forced
TO retreat before a lesser number of Indians,
ought to have made the California people
little wary about believing such foolish
gossip; but they were not, and the story has
had a run all over the country. The account
as first published, was contained ip,an extra
from Yreka paper, Of the 5th' Of Novem-
Der, and went on to state, that on the Slst
ult., Captain Smith of the U. S. A, had
this engagement with the Indians. Now
the truth is, that letters have been received
in this city, BY his family, from Captain
Smith himself, and dated as late as the 9th
Of November, in which he does not even al
lude to any battle with the Indians. He
was at Fort Lane, and his letters were mail
cd at Jacksonville. fan engagement last
ing nine hours, and costing the lives of so
many men, had taken place, certainly he
would have mentioned so novel a circum-
stance in his familiar letters. But he did
not do it, and we look upon the account Of
the battle as an unadulterated hoar, gotten
up to force the Government to send addi-
tional trecps TO that region.
We cut the above from the st. Louis Re
publican in order that our readers may know
something of the tricks practiced upon the
government for the purpose of getting the
government troops sent to the territories
Nearly all the reports put in circulation Of
Indian depredations, Indians numbering
white men, &c, are either totally false, OIL
gross exagerations. The story of this Indi
an war has had the desired effect, for We
see by the papers that Col. Wright of the
U. S. Army, with 900 men, has been des-
patched to Oregonto protect the inhabitantf
from the Indians. Our Territorial brethren
feel much more deeply interested in the
the money expended by the U. S. troops
than they do IA receiving their protection

S. NJ Booth, of the Milwaukee Free
Democrat, announces that the subscriptions
good will and all the effects of that journal
have been assigned to pay his debts. He
announces that he will pay 100 per cent on
all claims that may be presented up to the
first of January. He adds, however, the
following:
"Nota Bene.-This offer does not include
either of the Thousand Dollar Judgment
and costs rendered against US in Judge Mil
ler's court, for the support of the Slave
Trade. To pay our just debts we have as
signed all that is due US from subscribers
and patrons, and if they are half as ready
and willing to pay US, as we are to pay
those We owe, we shall be able to obey the
command to owe no man any thing but
love one another and have enough left to
buy a New Years dinner Come, friends,
let us practice the first principles of honesty,
and pay our debts. A christianity that
won't lead men to pay their Just dues is not
only worthless, but is religiously counterfeit,
and will be at an enormous discount here
and hereafter"

E The Ohio Statesman learns awit

g The Ohio Statesman learns "with
indignation and alarm" from Mr.. Ball
member of Congress from this State, that
Mr. Banks, of Massachusetts, the Anti-Ne-
braska candidate for Speaker of the House
of Representatives, "has boldly uttered the
reasonable sentiment that he 'a0ould let the
Union slider" This is awful. The edi.
tor of the Statesman is dismayed, his knees
smite together. and his teeth chatter. What
will become of him when he learns that the
ultra men of the South fully endorse the
sentiment attributed to Mr.. Banks, that Mr.
Brooks, of South Carolina, stopped the bad,
gering of Banks, by saying that "in certain
contingencies" the same qualifying remark
used by Mr. Banks, he was emphaticallv in
in favor of letting the Union slide! and from
the earneStneSs of the Carolinian, we can.
not doubt that if a good slaighing time

The large guns manufactured for the new
steam frigates, have lately been tested at
Richmond, Virginia, and pronounced sound.
The officers of the ordinance department
are now engaged in firing two enormous guns
lately cast by order of the government
They intend to fire each of these guns one
thousand times successfully with the usual
charge, and if they stand this test, they will
increase the charge and continue firing un-
til they burst. The object of this expert
ment is to ascertain in which part of the
gun explosion is most likely to occur, the
the metal having been graduated in thick
mass upon new plan.

what Made bean Chaplaina

Many Of our contemporaries seem to be
somewhat astonished that Rev. Henry CLAY
Dean should have been elected Chaplain Of
the Senate, and none of them seem to know
how it was brought about.
1t is pretty generally known that at the
Iowa Conference at Dubuque, Dean and the
Senator became fast friends, and that i'm
mediately thereafter, and from time to time
for year or more, Dean delivered stump
speeches through our State, abusing the
Know Nothings and abol.tionists. 1t is not
how0rOr, so generally known that Dean re.
ceived a letter of recommendation from
Jones, to Wise, of Virginia, and that he de-
serted the post which his church had as
signed him, and went to Virginia, where
under Mr.. Wise's direction, he stumped the
Mountain District" during the Gubernato
rial contest, and did most essential service
for Mr.. Wise.
1t was in consideration of these acknowl
edged services in Iowa and Virginia that th'
Rev. Henry Clay Dean was elected Chap
lain of the Senate.

CHEROKEE LEGIsLATIoN.-Ac correspon.
dent of the Fayetteville Independent writes
from Talequah, the capital of the Cherokee
Nation, as follows:
According to recent act white men
will be recognised as citizens of the Chero-
kee nation, by applying to one of the clerks
of the district for license to marry, which,
being granted they will be required to take
an oath of allegiance to support the Con-
stitution and laws of the Cherokee Nation,
and not to seek legal redress out of the Ma
ton.
"a bill was introduced prohibiting polyg-
amy, but was unfortunately lost; also, one
authorizing the principa Chief to open cor
respondence with several of the Missionary
Boards complaining of the inculcation by
their agents of Abolition doctrines, and the
superintendent of public schools was instruc-
ted not to employ any teachers who were
opposed to the institution of slavery.
"Tho most important feature of the ses-
sion was the bill for the sale to the United
States Government of the tract known as
the neutral land. All are willing to sell,
and are in favor of lquidating the national
debt, amounting to some s150,o0O. The
great difficulty appears to be as TO the dis
position of the balance, some 100000 OF
$3OO,OO0."
