Rsg- The Rochester ( Ind Gazette states
that, about five years ago, man calling him.
self Alonzo Morgan, accompanied by woman
who passed as his wife, moved to that place,
where they purchased a farm, and lived appar-
emily in q respectable manner, until about q
year ago, when Mr.. Morgan died. The widow
said that he had no heirs, but herself, and accor-
dinghy administered the property About three
months since she took second husband, and
everything was apparently going on well, when
there arrived in town two persons in search of
a Mr.. Alonzo Green, who had disappeared from
the State of New York in 1854, and had not
since been heard Of One of the strangers
claimed to be Green's son, and stated that his
father had in the above year, eloped with a
niece of his wife, a Miss Emma Lanfrheir.-
the newly-married widow Morgan was ct once
identified as the erring Miss L., and the identity
of Alonzo Morgan and Alonzo Green salts
factorily established. The guilty woman was
willing to make an settlement, and surrender
notes and other property to the rightful
claimant. Out of So, 900 taken by Green from
New York, his family will recover about ST.

A LOVER OF PEACE MARRYING DUMB Wo-
MANA man named Thomas Gait was mar
red yesterday by Justice Hanselman to Sarah
Jane Anderson, deaf mute. Some curiosity
was excited by the fact of his marrying a wo-
man who could not speak, and constable
asked him the cause of his doing so. Calf
answered that he had had two wives already,
and they gave him no rest by reason of their
talking ceaSelessly, and complaining and scold-
ing from morning till night. Both had died.
and now, as he was forty years old, and desir
ons of having a little peace for the remainder
of his life, he had determined to select dumb
woman for his third connubial partner.- Gu

War or Peace in Europe.

News from Europe pourS IN upon us with
fulmess and rapidity. Wehaye English papers
10 the 18th of March inclusive, 10y the mali
steamer PcrstI.
Respecting the war-qnestOR, there continued
TO be various SpecuIatouS. The British Gov
erument have repeated their declaration in both
Houses of Parliament, that they still saw n0
reason for apprehendiug that the Emp6ror Ma
loleon would break faith, AMI preCipitate
war in Italy Lord Uowley the British AM
bassador at Paris had brought with him full
assurances from Vienna that the Emperor of
Austria would act only upon the defensive
This might be expected he is more likely to
be attacked than tC attack. All that he de-
nands or expects, is full power to rule Aus
TRAN Italy just as he pleascs
Prussia and England, should hoStliticS com
mence, may be expected not to interfere unlec,
their own Interests are assaiied. fruSSa mas
no location whatever in the sorth of F4rope :;
while England, though with no ltaIi ii posses
sions, has such resting places as Gibraltar
Malta, and the Ionian I$lsIdS. Time was
when sword could not ha drawn, nor shot
fired in Europe, but England was certain to
briS'le up, like an irritable bull dog, and rush
into the contest scarcely caring on which side
she fought, so that she fought, and reckless Of
the cost, though when she came TO pay the
bills her people grumhled terribly, and protest
ed that never again should the mere thirst Of
what is called glory lead them into such an
expensive scrape.
Russia is said to have intimatcd that her
policy, unless forced to deviate from it, will be
strictly neutral. Yet it is reported that the
Car has strictly prohibited the sale Of horses
which, as Austria wanted to purchase, shows
no very friendly feeling. Austria, France and
Sardinia are undoubtedly Strengthening their
armies, and making great preraratOns-to be
ready in the event Of hostilites breaking out.
1t is stated, from Paris, that on the recent mar
riage of Prince Napoleon with the Princess
Clotilde, a secret treaty was made, whereby
France promised to support Sardinia against
Austria, whatever should happen, securing to
Sardinia all conquests in L0mhardy, providing
that Savoy and Nice be transferred to France
The doubtful thing about this is, that the par
ticulars of such a treaty, if it had been made
would have been Sept very secret.-I'ress.

DAxGERors COUNTERFEIT "A dangerous
counterfeit has Just been detected at the Treas
ury Department, in Washington, in the shape
of s. piece, the exterior Of which is pure
gold plated upon an alloy, of which gold
seems to be the base The coin contains about
three dollars worth Of pure gold, and is of
such really superior execution as to make it
pass readily for genuine. 1t was detected by
the treasury experts in consequence of slight
aatness at the edges, but which would escape
unnoticed in its ordinary circulation.

Who ARE THE NIGGER W WoRSHIPPERS ?-The
Hon. OWEN LovEJoY, of ILL.,, in a recent speech
in the House of Representatives, thus describes
party which is not SO strong in the country
as it once was
"The Slavery Democracy prates and chat
ters about negro equality Black Republicans, ,
and niger stealing to use its classic phrases
and improved photography. 1t has or affects
to have, great horror of 'niggers' And
any one who advocates the principles of human
Freedom, as they were enunciated and laid
down in enduring forms by the Fathers of the
Republic, is a woody head and these same
Democrats have learned to speak of them with
a peculiar nasal twist. You would suppose
that these gentlemen, whose olfactorieS are so
sensitive and acute, never saw nigger, except
in menagerie. And yet, would you believe
it the very first service rendered him on earth
is performed by a nigger as an infant, he
draws the milk which makes his flesh and blood
and bones from the breast of nigger; looks
up in her face and smiles, and calls her by the
endearing name of nanny and begs, perhaps
in piteous tones, for the privilege of carrying
nanny to the Territories {; he is undresSed
and put to bed by Niger and nestles during
the Slumbers of infancy in the bosom of mig
yger, he is washed, dressed and taken to the
table by niger, to eat food prepared by a
nigger he is led to and from school by mig
ger every service that childhood demands is
performed by a niger, except that ofchastise-
ment, which, from the absence ofgood manners
in many eases, it is to be feared is not perform
ed at all. When down appears on his lip, the
tonsoral service is performed by nigger :;
and when he reaches manhood, he invades the
nigger quarters to place himself in the endear-
ing relation of paternity to half niggers Final
ly, if he should be ambitious, it may occur
that he will come to Congress to represent
constituency, three.ffths of whom are niggers,
and talk about Black Republicans amaIga-
nation 'nigger equality 'nigger stealing
and offensive odor of nggerism"

ExCITING SCENE-CAPTCRE OF AN ALLEGED
FUGITIvE SLAyE.-COnsidera excitement was

this morning by the capture of quiet and in
offensive coIored individual, in the Market

Jenkins assisted by two other officers. The
unfortunate coIored man was Immediately rush
ed to the depot and placed on board the train
which was to leave at seven o'clock for Phila-
deIphia, without being afforded an opportunity
to say a word to a single friend. Upon hear
ing of the capture, We at once wendcd our way
to the depot, and, after some hesitation, the
Marshal condescended to show lis his warrant,
which had been issued by the Slave Comms.
sioner H6ke LongStEeth, commanding the
Marshal to capture one Daniel Daugerfpld,
late of the State Of Virginia, setting forth
that he was the property of a certain Elizabeth
Simpson. Consequently these officers came
here and captured the individal in question,
without producing any evidence whatever that
he was the man whom they were ordered to
arrest, and dragged him before a heartless
Slave Commissioner in the city of Philadelphia
where he has little hopes of fair and I'M
biaSSed trial The person arrested has been
living, for a number of years, with the Rut|cr
fords, a few miles from town, bears an uncX-
ceptionable character and has proved himself
an industrious man. He has been married
about six years, anl had two children, both Of
whom are dead-the last one dying only last
Friday. The news of the capture spread rap
idly through town and upon coming to the
ears Of his wife, she at once fed to the depot,
and arrived just in time to take a last farewell
look at her husband, who was sitting quietly in
the cars manaced in irons and there we be-
held most heartrcndng scene. The unfor-
tmate wife gave vent to her feelings of sor-
row at being thus suddenly separated from her
husband. Her piteous cries brought tears in
the eyes of many bystanders, who had before
calmly looked on. If this man had been al
lowed herring here, no one would have com
planned All the testimony in his behalf couId
have been procured here without expense or
trouble while On the other hand he will be
ushered before a strange tribunal, where none
of his friends can be present A gentleman
here at once teegraphed to a distinguished
member of the Bar in Philadelphia, and we
hope the benevolent people of that city will
see that some show of justice is done to the
unfortunate colored man.-Hqrrisbprg TIL
