"FoRGED LAND w Nrs.-Despatchesf from
Washington mention the discovery of land
warrant forgeres covering more than million
of acres The investigation is proceeding, and
new frauds are coming to light every day
We are requested to state that this rumor
probably grew ont of the discovery that prepar
atons were being made to put in circulation a
considerable number of conntcrfeited warrants,
and that the despatch above quoted has led to
the suppositon that the warrants alluded to
had been issued from the Pension Office, which
is not the fact Hash Union.

s FrIs.AoRE ASp GsrSD.---Wth strict regard
70 tire fitness Of things charactefistic OF the
Know Nothing party, Francis j. GRIND is
allowed to report the motives and divulge the
counsels of the KNOWN othing nominee. BY
birth and blood Grnnd is an Austria" Jew, a
prostitute in morals, by trade a foot-pad, and
in politics a hireling scavcnger. This indv-
dual selects the columns Of the New u Ork / eral
as the medium of communication between
Millarl Fillmore and the people of the United
States
Grund SAYS, writing from Rome and in the
presence of Fillmore, that he will not accept or
reject the Known othing nomination, until he
is Informed of the result of the Cincinnati Con-
venton, and ascertains the chances of his sue
ccss-whch is exactly equivalent to a declara-
ton that he will never accept at ALL for by that
time Fillmore's name will not even bc before
the country Grund tells us, moreover, that if
Fillmore should accept the nomination, he will
not commit himself by any pledge or declara-
tion but will stand solely his personal merits
1t is singular coincidence that wretch like
Grund should write for gentleman like Fill
Unconstitutional Enquirer.
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
STEAN-rowER EcILrsEp.-The London Morn
ingCrhoniclc announces an important discovery.
1t is stated that a great experiment twas
recently tried at Vincenncs, in the presence Of
General Lahitte and the officers of the fort.
The secret of compressing and governing elec-
tricity is at length discovered. and the power
may therefore, now be considered the sole
mortar henceforw ard to be used. A small
mortar was fired by the inventor at the rate
Of a hundred shots Il minute, without flashing,
smoke, noise. The same power can, it
seems, be adapted to every system of mechani-
cal invention and it is destined to supersctse
steam, requiring neither machinery nor combuS
tion. \ vessel propelled by this power is said
TO skim the water like a bird, and to fear
neither storm hurricane. The inventor
has already pctitioned for a line of steamers
from L'Orcnt to Norfolk, in the United States
| which passage he promises to accomplish in
! c light ard fort & -hours.''

CorRr1Nc W1pows.-An exchange paper, the
editor of which, no doubt, lately "set up" with
a widow, goes off thus:
For the other half of courtng match,
there is nothing like Interesting widow
There's as much difference between counting Il
damsel and an attractive widow, as there is in
cyphering in addition and double rule of three
Ccurting girl is like eating fruit, all very nice
as it extends, but doing the amable to a blue
eyed bereaved one in black Grape comes under
the head of preserves-rich, pnngent. syrupy
For delicious counting, We repeat, give us live
| 'widder.'"
COrroN SUPERSEDED SILK.-The Paris
correspondent of the London Atlas says:
1--WE hail with delight the announcement
that a sarnnt has just made so valuable dis
covery in the art of preparing silk, that this
article will become cheaper and more common
than cotton. The sarnnt, it appears, one day
ha wing nothing else to do, began to think,
which is wonderful for a sdranf, says Alphonsc
Karr-that there was but one creature capable
| of producing silk-that there was but de-
scripton Of vegetable matter, that of the null
berry tree fitted for the creatures food, there
fore the silky substance mnst not lie in the
animal but in the vegetable matter; at once
| the sarnnt set abont analyzing the composition,
of the mulberry leaf, and by boiling to thick
paste has produced every.dcscription Of silk in
immense quantities | have seen several yards
! of manufacture, and although wanting little
of the gloss belonging to that spun by the
worm, can pronounce it as superior to tho
| finest fomlurd hitherto made. The price o
/ SILK is hve francs pound Wnen spun, beln9
one hundred and twenty francs cheaper thar
that of the present day. This new method o
procuring silk will at once be adopted in a.!
countries, as the mulberry can be grown in an,
country, and requires scarcely any culture.
A NICE FAMIIY.-We clip the following from
the Newark (N. J. Advertiser:
"a Mrs Sarah Coarson eloped recently from
West Milford, Passaic county, with NJ
David White, of that place, being the thir'
time she has figured of the parties of a
clopement The woman is Of family Q
six sisters, named Rycrson, FIVE of whom hav
;, left their husbands and eloped with other mel
All six have been married. and not one live
with a lawful husband at the present day; fv
having eloped, and the only remaining on
descrting her husband, or refusing to live wit
him. A case of equal singularity cannot pre-
badly be found anywhere III the Union"

An Intelligent lady whose little 10y we
beginning to swear anxious to express to ht
4 child her horror of profanity, hit upon ii
# novel process of washing ont his mout, wit
soapsuds whenever he swore. 1t was an effe
tual cure. The boy understood his mother
IS sense of the corruption Of an oath, which, wi,
b the taste OF the snds, produced the desire
result. The practice if universally adopte
!. would raise the price of soap.
