Doremus & Nixon of No. 81 Park place had their
pames forged to note for $i,7l4 81.
VIM. Wall & Sons of No. 30 Front street had their
name forged to note Of 5000.
Another note of i79S, on the firm Of Phelps, Dodge
g. Co., was also discovered yesterday.
Forged paper executed by Huntington to the amount
of $25, 900 more has come to light and the parties
whose names have been used will probably make aifi-
davits against him to-day.
1t is said that not only nOteshavers but one or more
banks which have taken the forged paper as conat-
eIal security for discoVnts have suffered by Hunting
tons operations.

from Its commencement is entitled 10 great credit for
the admirable manner in which he has managed il.

The Weather and River.

Since our last issue we have had the
heaviest rain that has fallen for two years,
as We are informed by gentleman who
fought to know" Our usually sandy
streets were made as compact and hard as
the solid earth itself, which is saying a
good deal for them, as everybody knows,
who ever undertook to 'wade through
during drought We hope the effect of
the rain may be to raise the river, in fact,
we learn at the moment of writing that
both Red and Little rivers are rising
above.

A Free State in Texas.

Some may look upon such thing as a
free State of Western Texas as improba-
bic, paI ticularly at time when such siren
uous efforts are being made to carry slave
ry into Kansas, where slavery does not now
exist bv law. Yet there Is Il strong proba-
bilitv that such an event will occur within
the next tcn years. Our opinion is based
upon the fact that foreign Immigration is
greater than domestic, by at le,.st zen t.,
one and upon the weil-known fact th:.
foreign immigration is opposed to slavery,
from principle, prejudice and education.
And there are many of the immigrants
from the older States opposed to slavery,
who quietly tolerate it So long as it is en-
institution of the State, but whe Will vltc
no slavery when the question comes up
whether Western Texas shall be a free or
slave State. This fact is not generally
known; if SO, it is not duly considered
The vote of the adopted citizens of Texas
now number at least 10000 In less than
three years it will be increased to three
times that number. unless the naturaliza-
tion laws are changed. This increase will
be in a much greater ratio than that of
the native-born.-.S. 4. Tcran.

The SEMINoLEs.-It is reported that
the general government, abandoning all
hopes of subduing the few Seminoles in
Florida, have concluded to buy them off,
and that Alligator is now engaged in nego-
tlating the terms. The government a.
grees to take the stock, etc., of the Indi-
ans at fair valuation, and pay them the
sum of $4,000. They also agree to
guarantee to Billy Bowlegs the chieftain-
ship of the tribe, even if they have to give
him different location west. of the Mis-
sissippi. This has always been the sore
spot with Billy, as that portion of the tribe
who emigrated some years ago have cho-
sen Micanopy for their chief After the
death of Billy he is to be succeeded by
young Sam Jones, who in point of talent
and eloquence is said to be second Philip
or Red Jacket. He is now % years of
age, but is next to Billy Bowlegs, the lea
ding man In the nation.

Our COUNTRY AND IT'S PROSPECTS,
Some interesting facts are recapitulated in
the United States Military Argus. 1t is
stated that the population of the eleven in
FAINT colonies in 1701 was 262, 900 souls
Georgia and Delaware were added to the
number about 1749, and the census re-
ports give ,046,00U. In the year 1775,
the thirteen colonies had 2,303 900 whites
and 100000 slaves. After the adoption
of the present constitution, in 1870, there
were thirteen States, with 3,172, ,664 white,
5O,456 free colored, and 697 ,S07 slaves.
In 1850, the States had increased to thir-
ty-one, and the population to l9,550,O0O
whites, 434 900 free colored, and 3,2O4.-
900 slaves The total population at this
time is approaching thirty millions. The
number of electoral votes is 296, requiring
l49 to elect president by the people
The free States have 176, and the slave
States 120.

Cairo and Fulton Railroad.

The affairs of this road seem to be in a
very prosperous condition. The remarks
of our Little Rock correspondent, "JUNI-
U.s. whom we can vouch for as gentle
man of high social worth and position
and in every respect reliable, can be taken
as a correct exposition of public sentiment
in regard to this enterprise at the State
Capital 1t is doubtless gratifying to the
friends of the road to see, even at this
late date, the difficulties which have beset
the prosecution OF the work, vanishing
before the gradual enlightening of public
sentiment, both in regard to the magni-
tude of the interests involved and the fol-
ly and unreasonableness of factious oppo-
sition to the true policy, whether that op-
position may have existed on one hand or
the other.
The President of this Company, Judge
Cross, by devoting himself to the sue
him, and by overcoming all remaining OBJ
stacles by wise and conciliatory admin
istration of the affairs committed to his
keeping, will doubtless build up for him
self a monument of public esteem far
more durable than any trophy which could
be won in the barren field of politics; and
for ourselves, earnestly desiring the pros
perity of the country aud the speedy ad-
vancement of the great work of Internal
Improvement, we hold ourselves ready to
do all In our power to push the work along
without tagging, even to the consumma-
ton thereof .

''THE JENNINGS FoRrUNE.-Th

'THE JENNINGS FoRTUNE.-The re-
suit of late developments in searching the
genealogical tree of this family, is any,
thing but fattering, and precludes all
hope of any share in the great English
estate. Bishop Meade, who has been col
lecting materials for history of the
Episcopal Church in Virginia, in look
ing over the musty records of an old Epis-
copal parish In Lower Virginia, finds that
the Jennings family, like the Boiling, is
of Indian descent, and traces :hem back
through many generations to Woolly-hoo-
hoo, (signifying big drink an Indian
chief, or Bab-a-shee-la, who exercised SOW
ereignty over very large tribe of Indians

IMPORTANT DEcIsIoN.-A question has
recently been argued in the Supreme

Congress of February Sd, 1853, can pledge
her certificate to the person who acted as
her attorney In procuring the pension
from Government, as security for tie pay
ment of such service The Court decided
that no such pledge can rightfully be
made, as Congress intended to secure the
benefit of its bounty TO the pensioner per-
sonally, and to place it wholly beyond the
consequences of improvident acts of his
own, as we'll as out of the reach of credi-
