@ We see in the Helena, Arkansa

W We see in the Helena, Arkansas,
Shield, . letter from the notorious Matt
F.fWard, giving an account Of a tornado
that on the evening Of the 25th ult.,
swept over his plantation, near Helena
and overthrow his negro cabins and
stables and wrenched of the borders of
large trees in the yard, without having
seriously injured single person or ami
NAL, though there were twenty horses
and mrles in the stables, and several SER
wants in The cabins at the time. Their
safety was in the violence Of the wind,
which lifted the buildings up into the air
and carried them over heads The track
Of the hurrican was but a few hundred
yards in width and did not touch the
earth for more than quarter Of a mile
in length; nor was it heard or felt beyond
these limits, though persons were sitting
at the open doors of houses at short
distance. The editor in introducing the
letter says, Mr.. Ward sis most accom-
plished and clever gentleman, is one o.
the kindsst and most considerate Of mas
tiers, which We believe to be noble
Christian attribute Of ITSELF" Ii is to be
hoped that time and repentance will
bring proofs Of other christian attrib-
uteS."

ARREST OF CouNrERrEIrERs.-For Q

ARREST OF CoUNTERFEITERs.-F Q
week or two past, . large amount Of
spurious and broken bank notes have
been passed to the simple and unwary
about town. Officers Mcbride and Mar
tin have been for some days on the watch
to discover the source Of its issue. On
Thursday, they found that well known
character by the name of Ben. Bank
son, was supplying the "pushers" with
the notes of the broken Central Bank''
of Nashville, at the low rate Of twenty
Eve cents, for IS note. The bills were
from the genuine plate of the Bank, to
which Bankson affixed the signatures OF
the President and Cashier. How these
genuine impressions Of the original plate
are obtained is known to those who
have had the management of the Bank.
Our ,igilant detectives having discover
ed that back room on j. b. Suther-
lands premises, near the courthouse,
was the place Of issue Of the Central
Bank" notes, SCOT secret admission into
the apartment, and from behind scene
saw Ben. enter, open his portfolio Of un-
signed bills, and with the dignity and
ease Of genuine Bank President begin
to I'LL up and afiix signature to them.
While engaged in pleasant musings up
on his mine of newly discovered wealth
fearless Of danger and ''calm as sum-
mer's morning." he saw mysterious
hand appear from behind curtain, and
clutch handful of the signed bills, with
the ink upon them undried, and Sc
pulchral voice uttered, all take these
for my share" Ben. fell back in his
char, with the simple exclamation, "l'll
be ID" and yielded himself unre-
sistingly to his unlimited VISITORS
Justice Walker sent him To board with
Mr.. Hall till October. The officers de.
serve great credit for their vigilance and
acuteness in ferretting out the gangs oil

CEN CASS AND THE U0DT,D,o,cr

GEN. CASS AND THE MORTARA CASE
MEssRs. EDGToRs: Much establishment has been
expressed by our citizens generally in regard to a
letter written by General Cass Secretary of State
as reply to memorial of the Israeites of Phila
delphia, forwarded to him by Abraham Hart Esq,
President of of the oldest congregations of that
ancient people on this Continent in relation to the
abduction of. the Hebrew child of NJ. Mortara.
who, it is said, had been sprinkled with what is
called holy water by a female servant about four
teen years old. The child, it appears was at that
time about year of age and has been taken
from its parents by the Inquisiton, and conveyed
to Rome by order of the Pope. The appeal was
made to Gen. Cass, and no one entertained doubt
but that he would have given an answer in conso-
nance with his oft expressed views of RELIGIONS
liberty, instead of which he writes a very cold let
ter upon the subject To say the least he might have
expressed little sympathy for such an aggravated
assault on all his religious antecedens as his letter
indicates. General Washington, in his replies to
congregations of lsraelites, had uniform system
OF geneness and courtesy and treated all his fell
low citizens with the greatest urbanity. Being
one of large delegation from Baltimore to the city
OF ashington in the early part of the year 1852,
to memorabilia the President of the United States
(Mr. Fillmore) in regard to the Irish exiles, Smith
" Drleh, hedSher, hlltchell, and Others Mr.. Fill
more expressed himself to the Committee that sin
any personal good offices in aid of your wishes so
far as may be compatible with duty and obligation,
will be most cheeriully rendered" General Cass
himself wrote to the Committee in Baltimore in re-
ply to an invitation to dine with the friends of the
exiles, regretting his inability to dine with the
Committee. He writes
81 beg to assure you (the Committee) that | re-
gard with deep interest the condition of YOUR faith
erland, and the deplOrabe sufferings of the exed
patriots whom devotion to her cause has sent like
condemned maletactors to penal colony in the
great Southern ocean.
"l GU do me but justice in supposing | feel warm
sympathy in the object of your mission here to
produce some action on the part OF our Government
which would lead that of Great Britain to restore
to hope and to pardon these noble but unfortunate
exes. An interchange between nations of such
offices of mercy is far more becoming the spirit of
the age and the dictates of Christianity than those
angry Inconsistencies too common in the political
world, which fills so large page in its history and
so often leads to war, one example of such of
mediation is worth thousand feats in arms,
whatever false glory may glitter round them.

EDIToRs OF THE EXCHANGE:
1t was Goethe who said that in order to furnish
an active and refined mind with sufficient material
for meditation, it was advisable every day lst to
read something good, I'd to gaze at some fine pic
ture, and Sd to hear some good music. | will not
stop to inquire into all the reasons why he recon-
mended daily intercourse with the three fine arts
poetry, painting and music; nor is it my purpose to
point out the sources from whence good reading
might be obtained what picture galleries may
charm the eyes. only wish to call the attention of
yourreaders to opportunity of complying with the
Sd item of Goethes advice, afforded by the pro-,
posed trio-soirees, the first of which will be given
on Thursday evening, Dec. 9th, at Carroll Hail.
Classical music, like some prosecuted religious Sect
has fed from public observation; and retired into
privacy; the concert hall hardly ever resounds now
with the masterworks of our great composers. 1t is
only in the elmer chamber of some devoted disciple
of Apollo that we may enjoy the magnificent tone
creations of Mozart, Beethoven, Mendelssohn and
others. However now and then some bold profes-
will break forth and advocate their Claims
In Messrs. Mahr, Ahrend and Courlaender, who
propose to give series of trio-sorees, we have
such bold professors, and moreover we have in
them three musicians and interpreters of classical
music who might grace the court of any prince or
potentate. 1t has always given especial salts
faction to know that Baltimore's appreciative
audiences upheld the now disbanded Germania
for two successive winters before Boston, the
much praised Athens of America was able to sus-
tain that far-famed orchestra. Our nation is a
rapidly progressing and it is natural to suppose
that the love of classical music has not only not de-
clined since the Germania reigned supreme here,
but from divers signs of the times am induced to
believe that the taste for the sterling works of the
old masters has considerably increased. Will our
music-loving ladies and gentlemen come forward
and show that they appreciate classical music? ?
The subscription list is open at all the music stores.
