EXTENSIVE FoRGERIEs-ARREsT OF THE PERPETRA-
ToR:-A man named r. R. Monroe, resident of
Indiana, was yesterday brought to this city by off
part of Wisconsin, where he was arrested, after q
long and successful evasion of JUSTICE a warrant
charging him with being the perpetrator of series
OF extensive and most ingenious and successful
money, and swindled the bankers of most of the
northwestern cities in very complete and scientific
manner. The plan of operations which he pursued
was not new one, but the way in which it was
done and the success which attended it were quite
remarkable. This was accomplished by purchasing
genuine drafts New York banks for various small
sums, generally not exceeding ten or fifteen dollars
and by means of certain acids of which he was in
possession erasing the red ink endorsement and the
words specifying the amount, and afterwards filling
it up by an endorsement of his own and sum Of
money varying in different cases from 800 to
$1,000. These altered drafts were then sold as New

IMPORTANT FROM VENzUELA.-We are politely fur

following extract from letter received by the bark
Thomas B. Watson:
"PUERTo CABELLo, March 25.-Early yesterday
morning the Government troops, stationed at the
Pallto, at about an hours ride from this place.
numbering nearly four hundred men, were sur
prised and attacked by the revolutionary forces
from Coro, under the command of Gems Zamora and
Zulo. After a few hours, fighting, during which
about dozen on each side either killed or
wounded, the Government troops were dispersed
and took the road to Valencia in order to obtain,
if possible, reinforcements.
The revolutionary party, numbering about seven
hundred men, retired upon Moron, small village
about three leagues the other side of the PaIito.
The Government forces here number about three
hundred men, who ere expected to be reinforced
with troops from Salguana and Coro daily. Should
they arrive soon, and be joined by an additional
force from Valencia, and march on the enemy, the
revolution will soon be put down, as the Govern
ment forces in possession of Coro, and are re-
ported to have dispatched forces from that quar-
ter to attack the revolutionists in the rear
I'VE are anxiously expecting termination of the
affair." as business is entirely paray zed and will be

The FEEJEE IsLANDs.-A New FIELD FOR CorroN
CULTIvATIoN.-A pamphlet has just appeared in
London giving some account of the Feejee Islands,
the sovereignty of which has been offered to Her
Britannia Majesty. The author, Mr.. w. Arthur,
fellow of the Asiatic, chronological, and other
learned societies, advocates the acceptance of the
offer, on the ground of the Feejee Islands offer
ing an eligible field for the cultivation of cotton,
as well as lying in the track of vessels going
from Panama to Australia, and affording a coun-
terpoise to the growing influence of France in the
Pacific.
In reference to the first point, it is stated that
the cotton, even as grown wild, has been pro-
nounced by Mr.. Bayley, and other Manchester
authorities, to be well adapted to manufacturing
purposes as any that is known. Two-thirds of the
entire surface of the islands, whose area is COM
puted at 5000 square miles, said to be avail
able for cultivation; how much of this will pro-
duce cotton is not stated. "The field for cotton
being so extensive" says Mr.. Arthur, "and the
labor to produce it ready the colonists foresee
immense commercial advantages in the posses
sion of this rich group. To us this latter advan-
tage is not less important than to our friends in
Australia.
