The Judas Iscariot Coin.

Mr.. A. Kicholas n Wall street, has
struck off number of fec simile coins OF
the Hebrew holy shekel-the piece of sill
yer money in which Judas Iscariot was
paid for his service in betraying the sa-
viour. The present coin is from drawing
procured last year in Rome. The drawing
was from piece "whch," says DR.. Ra-
phael, who furnishes the description, "must
have been coined during the time the Jews
were sojourning in the holy land under their
own kings, and contemporaneous with the
first temple, which brings it to period Of
100 B. c." The Hebrew character upon
it are much like style of our own American
coin; for while the legend upon ours re ds,
"United States of America" this, in the
same position on the outer edge, bear,
the inscription, Jerusalem the HoIy."-
While one side bears the resemblance to
Aaron's rod, as mentioned in Numbers xvii,
s, on the other, which has the imprint Of
the pot of incense, is inscribed in the He.
brew characters the words, "Shekel of Is
rael."
"Judas received thirty of these pieces
for the betrayal Of the saviour Of man, as
mentioned in Matthew xvii, II. As is
plainly shown by the the text, they were
the largest pieces Of silver coined, and Moth
ing less than thirty of them could have pur-
chased field in or near Jerusalem. We
| learn from Matthew that when Judas began
to reflect that he had been the cause oil
shedding innocent blood, he went back TO
the high priest who had given the money
and laid it at his feet, Bat they would not
let it go in the treasury of the sactuary, and
and purchased potter's field to bury strang-
ers, Roman soldiers and others.
"Accordng to Leviticus v, Is, this coir
was one Of the counts Of reckoning and Of
lering, where the person HAD committed Q
trespass through ignorance.
"Of the censer, with the incenser there.
Of, full account is found in Leviticus x,
when Nadap and Abihu, with others of The
rebeIlious priests, having presumptuouslS
put strange incense in their censers, anC
went into the tabernacle to Offer Tin diree
contravention Of the orders of the deity
through Aaron the high priest for which
offence the ground opened and swallowed
lhom-being the first account we have
either in sacred or profane history, Of al
earthquake. ....
1.-TWO important events are thus commem
GRATED in the history Of the Israelites by til,
devices engraved on the piece-the destruc
tian Of the rebelious priests, and the bloom
ing Of Aaron's rod. f"

The Central American Treaty

The London Post, organ of Lord Palmer
ston, has a rather significant article on Cen
trail American affairs, in which it doubts
"whether the Clayton Bulwer convention
can be reckoned among the existing things
any more than the recently repudated Dali
las Clarendon treaty." On more than one
occasion the articles in the Post have fore
shadowed the policy of the British govern
ment with reference to Central American
affairs, and this one in particular, merits at
tention. 1t also states that negotiations are
still in progress, and anticipates that Lord
Napier will succeed in settling the question
10 the satisfaction Of both nations. 1t adds
however:
"The sueen, as the sovereign of the mag
nifcent province OF Canada, is the second
power on the continent of North America
and in that capacity she has an undo bted
rtgh 10 oppose, not only every possible en-
torcement Of the Monroe doctrine, JM Md
gradual extension ofthe curse ofslarery which
appears 10 be the suicidal and insane poilcs
ofH considerable portion of The american peo
pie. The loss Of the Bulwer- CIaton conven
ton, of the Honduras convention. and of The
Clarendon-Dallas treaty, will be amply com
pensated if England should now have tn,
happiness TO save Central America form th,
infliction of That domestic institution, equal,
abhorent to the laws of God and man, ,whicl
is the plague spoi-the damnosa hersi,taS-
of the people Of the United States"

Decotah Territory.
From the Philadelphia North American,

From the Phllldephla North American.
Swarms OF spectators are preparing TO
make grand rush in the territory of De-
cotah as soon as it shall be organized. In
expectation thereof, Sioux city, which is
down at the southern extremity Of the fu-
ture territory, and at the junction of the
Missouri and Sioux rivers, has suddenly
become point Of great Importance. 1t has
now large hotels, all crowded with visitors.
A steam ferry boat plies regularly to the
Nebraska side of the river, where a new
village has been founded. And thousands
of emigrants go 10 the Sioux city as the
centre of northeastern Iowa, southwestern
Minnesota. south eastern Nebraska, and
the future territory Of Dlcntah. In Min
nesoa a land company has been organized,
which has already sent agents into this un-
organized and unopened territory, TO locate
seven town sites, one of which is designed
for the capital. The administration has not
as yet, taken any steps TO establish the ter
TNoTlaI government, nor uoeS IL seem llkely
that any will be taken until after the ad-
mission into The Union CT Minnesota as q
State. But the spectators are all on the
quivWe, and at every point near Dacotah
they are gathered in swamps, with well di-
gested plans for town sites, railroads, banks,
&c. No doubt, as soon as operations can
be fairly commenced there, everything will
go ahead on the high pressure principle, as
it is now in Iowa, Minnesota and Nebraska
In fact, Congress has acted too tard,ly in
opening and organizing territories at the
northwest, and if new and more enter.
prisng policy could be inaugurated, great
progress would be made in that region in q
few years.

Col. w. b. Thompson, Of our city, who
arrived Yesterday from Doniphan, X. r.,
brings full accoupts Of the late disturbance.
Il appears that man named Mitchell, who
figured rather conspicnlously as an officer
du, ing the difficulties last full, took excep-
lions nj some remarks made bv MIR. Boyd, in
his Grafton on the Fourth. Mitchell sought
an explanation from Boyd, during which time
some insult was passed, when Boyd knocked
Mitchell down with his fist
4 challenge was then sent by Mitchell 80
Boyd and readily accepted by the latter
seconds we're chosen, the distance measured
Of and the muskets presented, when the civil
authorities arrived on the ground ana arr
restcdthe belligerent parties, who gave bunds
| for their good behavior for n limited period
Of time. The bonds had not been signed
uore than fifteen minutes before Mitcheilre-
newed the challenge, but Boyd decline say :
! ing that he had given bonds, but Ms sopn Ms
the time expired he would give satisfaction.
The proslavery and free Stat. part es zen
took ii up. Gen. Jim Lane, with his follow
| ers, seized upon thirty-seven muske sbslo ~
! ing to the government and plnt cd themselves
in a defensive attitude. Runners ANA ex-
presses were dispatched to all quarters for
recruits. Speeches were then made by men
belonging to both sides.
On Monday night, armed men, belonging
to the Free State party, wee stationed oul
all around the CIV. Lanes excuse for hi.
course and conduct is, that he understood
that the pro-sl very men had sent for thu
Kckapoo rangers, and heparsued this course
for the benefit Of oil concerned. Colone
Thompson and Mr.. Middleton of this city
had an interview with L.he, q d used Their
utmost endeaSors to dissuaoe IN from hi
course. lie made faithful promises to capi
tulate, and then proceeded to make n flaming
speech to his excited comrades, in which b,

i ed, in y tist fight. or with bowie-knives, re
