MORMON CoUNTERFEITs OF QUARTER MAS
TIERS DRAFTs.-The st. Louis Republican
says mandatory of counterfeit United
States Quarter-Masters' Drafts on the U. 8.
Treasury, has been discovered in the church
tithing Office of Brigham Young, at Salt
Lake City. Several of these Drafts for
considerable amounts had been put in circu-
lation, and some of them have been receiv-
ed in st. Louis. They prove that there are
good engravers at Salt Lake City. When
first these Drifts were presented to Major
Crossman, of the Qusrter-Master Depart
ment at Salt Lake, he pronounced it a coun-
terfeit. The person who passed it was i'm
mediately seized, and on searching his
premises, the copper-plate, with several
printed blank checks, together with mate
rails for counterfeiting, were found These
checks were on the Assistant Treasurer at
st. Louis. The engraver and accomplice in
the fraud has also been arrested in Salt
Lake City, and large quantity of tools
and materials seized by the United States
Marshal, including bank note paper, bank
notes, drafts, &c, found in his place of bust
ness, IN The church hthing office of Brigham,
Young.
Others, it is said, are implicated in this
bold transaction, but so far, none have
been arrested; nor is it probable that proof
can be obtained to authorize it. Both the
prisoners, it is stated, are Mormons of high
standing, and it is understood that all the
profits to accrue from the transaction were
to inure to the benefit of the church. The
rascally scheme has been discovered in time
to save every one from being swindled- AL
though caught in the act, it is very doubtful
whether ajury can be found in that Terri
tory who win sentence either of the Offend
ers to salutary punishment.

TIE JOHNSTON AND Buchanan DIFFIcUL-
rY.-Mr. Johnston, who was formerly editor
of the Executive organ, the Union, and on
retiring from that paper, several months
ago, was appointed Consul to Hayre, was
recently reprimanded by Mr.. Buchanan, in
a very petulant manner, in the railroad
cars, for delaying his departure to
France He retorted upon the venerable
President, and threw his commission in his
face The Washington Constitution fatty
denied the occurrence. Mr.. Johnston comes
out in card, and declares the published
account of the scene that occurred between
him and Mr. Buchanan to be literally true,
except as to an understanding that he should
receive an appointment on quitting the
Union. Had Mr. Buchanan wished to re-
prove him, Mr. Johnston thinks he had a
proper opportunity on the previous evening,
when they took tea together at the Soldiers.
Home He felt indignant at being rsbuked
IN public car, and in the presence of sew
eral members of the Cabinet Secretary
Cass assured Johnston tha, the President
meant no insult. What says the Bripadier f?

Mr.. EDITOR While our town Is generally

street connecting Richardson Street with

narrow alley, perhaps twenty-five feet wide;
above the Aurora House in another narrow
alley, and at the head of Main Street, the
old road is nearly fenced in, aud these are
the only communications with the southern
precincts OF the town. Citizens living north

The following account We extract from

Dazely informs us OF an additional loss OF
life at Parks Bar-three miners, working
In the bed OF the river, at that point having
he,n overtaken by the food, and drowned
We we're told at Nevada. on rA-'suHy' that
tho .--jvcsure al lrst made that the cause oi
the food was ,he breaking OF one OF Capt
Irving's dams, was then supposed TO bc er.
roneous. inasmuch as the bitches at Orleans
Fla! were running full.
The miners on the South Yuba we're great.
Iy astonished about the middle OF the day
on Tuesday last, at beholding q solid column
Of water Of somo eight feet in height. rushing
down the channel OF the river npon them,
boiling and eddying. laden yith trees. logs
and lumber aud sweeping all before It..
The torrent ran three hours 1t is said with
out any sensible diminution and gradually
subsidized in nine or ten hours mere The
cause Of the Good has been founi TO proceed
from the breaking OF n dam to one Of th.
small lakes owned by the EurekaLake Com
pany, high up in the mountains.
The loss OF property along the route OF
the food has been slight owing to the miners
not having yet made preparations TO work
on The low bars and Ia the bed Of The river,
hut the loss OF life has been more serious.
Three Germans were swept away from New
York Bar and drowned. The body Of one was
found next day aud recognized. Coroner
Bszcly held an inquest on what was cup.
posed to be the body OF another one Of the lost
Germans on Wednesday on Boston Bar, six.

body was nude, slight tuft oil beard ofligh,
color was under the chin. and an anchor
prcked In blue ink on tho back OF the right
