BayA young gentleman in Vincennes
hired horse and buggy at livery stable
few evenings ago, to take a fair daughter
of Eve to moonlight ride. Beneath the
genial influence of natures sweetest see merry,
with souls attuned to melody ana love, they
did not ride long or far before Cupid shot
the fatal dart, and fixed the destinies of the
lovers for veal or woe. They mutually
woed and won each other, it is to be sup
posed for they soon came to the unanimous
conclusion to have the true lovers knot
tied. For this purpose they called ON a
country squire by the road side, and after
the ceremony, sought lodgings with ancigh-
boring farmer. The hours flew by, and
when the first blush of morning appeared
in the Eastern sky, the bridegroom-says
the Gdzctte-missing his better half, arese
when 10 he found that not only the hour:
had flown, but that the fair creature, who
had pledged her faith to him the previous
night, had also flown; and on examination
it was ascertained that the vehicle, in which
she was wood and won, the evening before
amid the enchanting scenes of nature, a:
well rs the horse, had taken flight to parts
unknown. The hero of this romance in rea
| life was now in a predicament. The starch
| was taken out of his pride and he wiIted
| like a cabbage beneath an August sun
Slowly and sadly he turned his steps back
to the city, it is to be hoped, wiser and
bet er man. The last heard of the horse
and buggy, they had been sold, the money
pocketed, and the fair but frail creature had
| sloped to parts distant.

A schooner from North Carolina, arrived
at New London, Connecticut, few DAYS
ago, with a fugitive black on board and an
attempt to detain and send him back to his
master caused an excitement among the peo-
pie. The vessel sailed from Wilming ton, North
Carolina, on The 10Th September When
six days out mysterious rapping was
heard in the fore hold, which, on examine
| ton WAS found to be caused by half-starved
| fugitive slave The darkcy had sccreted
himself on board six days before they s;tiled,
and had thus been hidden for twelve days
with only two pounds of crackers and a
| piece of cheese for provisions.
| The captain of the vessel, on arriving at
ashore after an officerto whom he could su,s
render the fugitive. On returning he dis
covered that the darkey, doubtless reluctant
to 60 back, had jumped overheard and
swan ashore.
! The captain then went to New London
and after search found Joe in clothing
store, seized him, and took him to the Gus
tom House Collector Mathcr, being Com
missioner also, took charge of the fugitive.
The affair, however, had been uoised about
in the streets, and Judge Brandagce with
some friends went down to the Custom
House, where he found the negro in custody
of the Collector, the captain, and several Of
| ficers of the L. S. revenue cutter Brand
dagee inquired Of the fugitive if he was anx-
ious to return to North Carolina, when the
darkey, expressed a desire to depart at once
"Go then," quoth Brandagee, and tile dar-
/ key went. The Custom House people
evinced a disposition to stop him, but the
presence of the citizens rendered their eff
forts of little avail, and he is now on his
way to the north.

Rag The New Orleans papers earnestly

8G- The New Orleans papers earnestly
appeal to strangers and unacclimated per-
sons to keep away till frost appears. The
raEages of yellow fever at present are
among the new corners, crowds of whom
are imprudently pouring into the city, to
secure the places supposed to have been
made vacant by death. One steamer from
St. Louis brought down 275 passengers on
the first of the month, before there had heen
any abatement of the disease. large
portion of these persons probably suffered
an attack aud contributed to swell the cases
of mortality. The True Delta implores
those away to remain till after a frost. 1t
says:
In the name of humanity can nothing be
done to keep unacclimated people from rush
ing into New Orleans by wholesale? If they
really do not know t. 9 peril, then every
means ought to be taken for their enlight-
eminent. of course we cannot expect steam
boat officers to be so conscientious as to
turn back passengers making application,
but we do expect benevolcntly disposed and
intelligent persons in the up river cities to
take some pains to inform the ignorant OF
the risk which they run, and induce them, il
possible, to hold on for a time. Of course
the arrivals improve business a little, but
what is that in the balance with human life
sacrificed. A short time more and a health
full business animation will legitimately en-
sue, compared with the progress of which
the spasmodic revivals of trade caused by a
few arrivals are as nothing. Let us wait
patiently until then, and let people abroad
also wait.

EeE@ The Washington Union now says
T its object is not SO much to defeat Douglas
IN Illinois, as to secure his reputation by
the Southern Democracy" Its labors seem
to have defeated its design, and its bitter
persecution has rallied the South almost
unanimously to his support. The Union
produces the record of Mr.. Douglas Oh the
subject of slavery in the Territories, from
1850 down to 1854 and the present day, in
order to prove from his record all the
way through, that while his uniform policy
has been to enforce the doctrine of Con-
gressional nonrintervention, he has uni
fornly maintained the right of the locrl
Territorial government to encourage or ex-
elude the institution of slavery by friendly
or unfriendly legislation The. argu-
ment is well sustained but in reference to
the Illinois contest, its promises, facts, quo
tations and conclusions are better calculated
to strengthen the cause of Douglas than
any outside assistance which he has yet re-
eeived from any quarter.

TURKISH MONEY CouxrERFEIrEp.-S,


TURKISH MONEY CoUNTERFEITED.-Somc
time ago, Moldavian lady had her bag
3 gage inspected at :Constantinople, by the
+ Turkish Authorities, and under false bottoms
and secret drawers in her trunks, was found
a large amount ofcounterfeit Turkish Treas
ury notes. They were printed on sheets of
delicately tinted paper, about four inches
wide by eight inches long. There were two
impressions on each sheet. The lettering
consisted of a,cypher embossed in tint in
circlet of hieroglyphics, surrounded by rays
of glory. The body of the notes was filed
with large Turkish characters, as was a
neat border about the whole 80
The lady confessed that she had bad them
printed in New York for circulation in the
4 Northern provinces of the Turkish Empire.
Last week, on complaint of the Turkish Con-
sui in New York, the printer, respectable
man, was arrested for the crime of counter
feiting. He publishes a card declaring he
had no suspicion thatTthe tickets were ini-
tations of any sort of money, but supposed
them to be labels for patent medicines.

ID q BaE- The election passed off very quietly
yesterday. We did not hear of disturb
==ance, ora single personal difficulty or alter
eation, in the large crowds that were gath
cred around the polls. The candidates for
the county offices and their friends were ac-
tive canvasers, but all was conducted with
good humohand natural courtesy. The bar
,2rooms and groceries closed their doors in
y compliance with the Mayors proclamation;
"A 4 and during the day we did not see single

are very creditable to the city and the peo-
pie. Whatever may be the result all will

The Cincinnati Bank of Redemption

The Cincinnati Bank Of Redemption.
The Ohio Valley Bank which was de-
signed to be the general agent of>all he
Ohio Banks does not meet in its operations
the expectationsof its founders. They have
discovered that the Ohio Banks alone cannot
succeed in their plans. They at first rejected
the proposition of the Indiana State Bank
to take an equal share in the stock and
management of the agency; but they have
begun to reconsider the subject and now
invite union with the Indiana Banks.
The Cincinnati Gazette says q the Indiana
banks have not acted definitely with regard
to the Clearing House project, on account
of disagreement as to ownership and
management the latter requiring an in
terest equal in all respects to that held by
the Ohio banks. In this respect their de-
mnnds are not in any degree unreasonable
and probably they Will be aeeedcd to. A
full and cordial cooperation of the banks of
the two States would insure the success of
the Clearing House enterprise, but the Ohio
banks alone cannot succeed in the under
taking. This much is pretty well UNDER
stood by those who have observed the opera
tions of the new bank since LIST Sept II is
the interest of all the banks in Ohio, Indi-
ana and, Kentucky to unite in establishing
the proposed system of redemption in this
city; it obviously is not good policy for the
banks of any one State to adopt such terms
as viii exclude or prejudice the banks OF
both or either of the two. "United we
stand" &C., is a motto worthy Of being OBJ
served by those who are negotiating in this
matter" .,It
The interests of Cincinnati merchants
require that the Indiana currency should
have its central point of redemption in that
city. Indiana trade might find its supplies
at home or at ST. Louis, or Louisville
should war upon Indiana currency be
kept up by an institution that should collect
ii to run it home for specie.

The srst overland mail from California,
under the new contract, arrived at st. Louis
on Saturday night, in twenty-fourdays from
San Francisco. Several passengers came
through on The line. large numbero of citi-
Gems met the mail at the Pacific Railroad De-
pot, and in a formal manner, through a Chair
man, gave Mr.. Butterfield, President of the
Overland Mail Company, hearty greeting.
They then formed in procession and escorted
the mail to the Post Office. Mr.. Butterfield
notified the President by telegraph of the
safe arrival of the mails, and received in re-
ply, a message congratulating him upon the
success of the enterprise as an important
event in the settlement and intercourse be-
tween the two sections of the cof-ltry.
Tie st. Louis Republican says: "WAat
has hitherto been regarded as visionary
and speculative enterprise, has been estab-
lished beyond doubt, and st. Louis and San
Francisco have been brought within "a
days travel of each other, on stage line,
and route which win admit of easier and
safer travel than did the trip from st. Louis
to Philadelphia thirty ye..fs ago. The
only difficulty experienced on the route, was
want of water at several places on the de-
.scrt. This deficiency is to be remedied
The whole distance is 2,765 miles from San
Francisco to st, Louis. The Company have
over 200 stations. 1t is confidently believ-
ed that the time can be reduced to 20 days
in good seasons.
