ESCAPE OF 4 WOMAN FROM THE FIFTH SToRY
OF THE ONO STATE Prison. The Columbus
(OhiO) papers state that, on Saturday night
a girl named Mary Fuller, made her escape
from the fifth story of the prison, by passing
out Of her window and passing along the side
of the building upon a cOrnice or water table
about eighteen inches broad. Passing along
the front Of the building, at the immense
height Of fifty or sixty feet from the ground,
with nothing to hold to, and upon the pro-
lection, scarcely visible from the ground, she
reached, at the distance of about forty feet
from her room window, place where it was
necessary for her to Jump about twelve feet
to the roof of the west wing. The leap was
taken, proved a safe one, and the dauntless
woman next fastened TO the corner of the
roof a rope which she manufactured out of
her bedding, grasped it in her hands, and,
swinging from the roof, passed down on the
outside of the wall, over windows where
other convicts were sleeping, and down TO
terra frna, where, at a distance OF 45 feet
below the roof, she alighted in the arms of
discharged convict, who had served out his
time a few days before, having been con-
federate in the crime for which the woman
was sentenced to a longer imprisonment.
Inc PAIR were lOunu tne next evening uOlu-

A Honolulu paper mentions the picking
up, by schooner. some six or eight miles
from the Coast, of native boy, deserter
from a whaleship which left port the preced

home-sick when he saw the green noun
tains of Oahu growing dim in the distance,
and about eight clock in the evening, he
Jumped overheard, and struck out for the
land-then about twenty miles distant. He

endeavor to reach the beach, he discovered a

ward He accordingly changed his course
for the vessel, and at nine o'clock Friday
morning, he was standing upon her deck,
apparently but little the worse for his four
teen hours swim.

THE NEW DARK LANTERN MOVE
MENT.

NEW YORK, Jan. IS, 1850.
DEAR SIR-It has been deemed advisable, In
consultation with others that Convention Of three
delegates from each county, composed of those
only who supported the Union ticket faithfully
in this State, meet at Binghampton, on Wednes-
day. February 18th, 1860, at 10 A. NJ, at the
Exchange Hotel to re-organize our State, in con-
junction with the National Union party.
1t is important that you should secraly make
arrangements in your county, and, if possible,
that you appear yourself a. one of tho delegates
or that the credentials of such delegates be
tersigned by you in your own handwriting. The
object is to advise and consult upon what final ac
tion we shall unite upon IN order to perfect our
union. We have every reason to expect hearty
concurrence in the movement.

ERASTUS BROOKS,

BOGUS so COLD PHCFs.-A most danger
ous counterfeit of the gold Eagle was di-coy-
cred a day or two since in New York. A
customer of the Metropolitan Bank paid a
number Of the coins, which he received from
the institution. into the United States Sub
Treasury when the specie clerk rejected one,
apparently as fair in appearance as the best
Of the heap. This coin was returned 70 the
bank. and in spite Of the well-known skill Of
the specie clerk I'm the detection Of spurious
coins, about thirty bank tellers to whom it
was shown, pronounced it genuine, and Of
fered to take it at its face. Some were SO
sure Of the correctness Of their judgments
that they would bet < 100 to so that 1t was
good And well they might be thus confident,
since it answered all the tests of weight, sound
inference and thickness.
In fact, externally it was standard coin;
but upon being cut in two, the cheat was
made palpable The piece had evidently been
split edge-wise, both halves filed quite thin
and IN place Of the stolen gold piece Of
whitish metal placed between the halves, and
the whole re-milled What metal was sub
stituted for the gold is not known, but some
Judges pronounced it platinum butit is not
likely that 50 costly and scarce a mineral
would be employed in cOunterieitng and
yet it must have been ola very dense body TO
equal gold in bulk and weight. After this,
who will not agree with Us that the American
Eagle is in danger?

Horace Greeley saws the West is poor The
collapse of the Railroad bubble, whereby
many people have been divested of their pro-
pcrty, and perhaps still more of their repu-
tatlon for honesty, has spread desolatiOn over
the land. There are City Lots enough duly
surveyed and staked out in the Western Free
States 20 furnish house room for all the peo-
pie of the United States: and seven-eighths of
them are not to-day really worth the cost of
surveying. OF course. the usurers who have
lent millions at two or three per cent. per
month, and taken mortgages on these lots as
security, will have a nice time in getting
their pay, and it Will be perfectly good mo-
nev when thev get it. Those who have inves-
ted their means in land warrants, and loca-
ted whole counties in this and adjoining
States, viii get their money back if they
have wit enough to advertise their land, and
sell it soon to the highest cash bidder; if they
undertake to hold on for FIVE. ten. OF twenty
dollars an acre, the taxes VIII generally eat
them up. The art of taxation-especially
the taxation of non-residents-seems to be
pretty well understood by the settlers of the
West and what they don't already know
they are fast learning. They Will have good
roads and school houses within a few years
if the Spectators hold on to their land.
