TAR east as Ragged Island Considerable
goods are drifting ashore at the mouth Of
Shelbourne Harbor. The country people
generally are acting honestly. Three

value. The ships articles have been
found, and they show that the crews num-
bered seVenty-four. No passenger list has

COUNTERFEIT CoIN.-The counterfeit
gold coin recently offered in New York,
and which answered every test Of the gen
uine, sadly puzzles those familiar with
counterteltlng processes, to account for
1t. a writer in the Philadelphia LctEger
gives the following respecting its origin:
"The white metal is known only to the
Chinese, and workmanship on the geuu-
inc, to render them Of less value, is done
by them, and If the United States officers
will trace back, or examine future coins
they will find them emanating from the
Chinese quarters of San Francisco, Cal,
where L have seen many SOS and one $50
gold coin, or slug, all of which were well
executed, and were taken in the California
Branch Mint. This metal, like the gong
metal, and the manner Of soldering the
lead paper in tea chests, is still, and [ be-
lieve ever will remain, secret with the
Celestials, unless Chemists may hereafter
make the discovery Of those invaluable
secrets"

Hon. Henry %. Foster.

As our readers are we'll aware, the Loco
Foco State Convention which assembled at
Reading, on the 29th ult., nominated Hon.
Henry d. Foster, Of Westmoreland county,
for Governor. Thus the State campaign is
now fairly opened, and full opportunity is
given to the political press to discuss the
merits and dement's of the men who aspire
to gubernatorial preferment. We trust
this may be done freely and fairly on both
sides, and that the political sentiments en-
tertained and avowed by the rival candi-
dates, as we'll as their personal qualifca-
tions, may be duly considered and set
forth If the truth thus brought out
happen to injure any candidate or any
party, there can be no just cause Of COM
plaint. Those who do the voting should
vote understandingly; and if they do so
vote, we have no fears as to the result in
the contest of October.
Against the private character Of Henry
D. Foster we viii not say one word. We

we could. Prudence, if nothing else,
would prompt us to pursue this course
Here where he is known, we should have
but little to gain by personal attack upon
Henry d. Foster. Politics aside, he is a
general favorite with our citizens, and his
fitness for the Office for which he has been
nominated, is unquestioned But while
we concede to him many good qualities,
we must not forget to take slight peep
at his political principles. For it is not
Henry D. Foster the man, but Henry d.
Foster the politician, that we have to deal
with in the campaign in which we have
engaged. And here let US say, that in
politics he is in very bad company. Ever
since we have known him, he has been
an active, working, prominent, uncompro
missing member of the Loco-Foco Party
fact which, standing by itself, is sufh
cient to damn him in the estimation Of
every sincere and enlightened patriot
1t may be that, at times, his conscience
IIASSACN 4l1lAiI Nuu hC HAS refused u
endorse the conduct of those who woulc
force Slavery upon an unwilling people
So much the worse for him now, when h
consents 70 be their champion SO mucl
the worse for him now, when, as thei
standard bearer, he endeavors to rally tina
old party which, upon that very issue, wa
rent into fragments. As the nominee o
the Loco-Foco State Convention, he i
placed upon no platform for the Conven
tien made none for him But in accept
ing the nomination, he takes down Loco
Foeoism at gulp. He winks at ex
ecutiye usurpation, shuts his eyes t
Kansas outrages, connives at fraud an
corruption, and bends his neck TO Souther
domination Who viii vote for such
man Nobody but Loc0-Foco.

A Laus hab ie Incident "AiI in the
FumiIY.

The Chicago Times aud Herald
tells the following good story OF
worthy produce merchant pf that city
and his son.in.law, who have lately
been dab6ling in stocks:
Seeing that stocks were going down
tho produce merchant (who is a Re
publican, with great faith in the 1inal
redemption Of all things through the
agency of Old Abe,) concluded it a
rood time to invest. Hc did invest;
laid down his margin and waited for
the anticipated rise. Instead OF rise,
stocks continued to 90 down. lie
paid another margin; and, nothing
tiislleartencd, bought more stocks and
paid more margins. Stocks contln'
ued to fall, and the brokers continued
to ca for more margins. my con-
science, mani" exclaimed the mer-
chant to his cashier, "give 'em a check
for the full amount; the margins will.
ruin. me ]" Tho cashier did as he was
directed, and the worthy produce mer-
chant found himself the holder OF a
large amount Of full paid stocks. lie
did not want the stocks to hold. He
bought on speculation and was anx-
jous to sell. But stocks kept 0n go
ing down, and what with the margins
he had paid and the depreciation he
was in fair way to suffer, our pro-
dace merchant felt uncommoEIy blue.
One morning the son in law (who
was temporarily II hosrder in the
house) came down to breakfast. The
old gentleman was reading the stock
market over his coffee. "Mysie," ad-
dressing Ills housekeeper, don't give
any breakfast; not bit; take
away the things; don't let him have a
mouthlul-not u mouthtul," The sou
in.law did not know what it meant.
Ee waited for an explanation and his
breakfast, but got neither. The stock
buyer was inexorable; not mouthiul
to eat would he permit his son-ln.law
to have in the house. AT length he
was about to leave with disappoint-
ment and an empty stomach weig hing
down his spirits. Sir" cried the
father.in.law, "have you been dealing
in stocks latelyl" eyes, sir" answer
cd the son.in law. They've been
falling considerablyW "YeS, and
Pve made good thing out Of it; Eve

coniound you! and l've been buying;
rve bought all you had! Not a mouth
ful Of breakfast do you get in thi:
house!"
The son.in law departed, congratu
lating himself that he lost bis break
fast lie had got satisfactory reason
for it,"

Coon News FOR THE ToptRs.-
There is good news for topers among
the foreign items by the last steamer.
A DR.. Beck, of Dantzig, has discov.
cred an antidote for the poison OF alco.
hol--a kind OF dog eat dog, the effects
of the liquor being DESTROYED by tho
counter,irritant 1t is a mineral paste,
which he incloses within an olive, and
which, once absorbed, destroys not
only the effect, but also the cOnse-
quences, OF drunkenness. All amold
topper has to do hereafter is to put 10
the fire water until drunk comes, then
swallow his olive, and up and at il
again. Rather a novel idea that of
having a score of drunks between
sundOwn and bed time.

HARD HRS AT THE SECFssIoNIsTs. -
The Vicksburg (MississippD Wing
rldicules the Seces8ioniSts in that
State without stint. A late number
contains the following paragraphs:
The Breckinridge secession Office
holders Of Mississippi have not yet re-
signed, but are drawing their salaries
from this "accurSed government"
with remarkable regularity.
JEFF. Davis has not yet declared
himself Emperor of Mississippi.
The startling rumor that o. r. Sin

return to Washington during a Re

had resigned his seat in Congress, is
utterly without foundation. = '

VIoroR EMANUEL's LATE GREAT
VIoToRY.-.-The late victory of the Sar.
dinians over the Bourbon Neapolitans
at Gaeta, is one OF the, most decisive
and complete in modern annals, and
recalls to recollection the astonishing
triumphS oil Napoleon |, with which
it may we'll vie. Eleven thousand
prisoners were taken, and all the tents
wagons and stores. This ends the
war in Southern Italy, for the Fort
ress OF Gaeta Is already preparing to
surrender. The cause OF the Bourbon
King is utterly and irretrievably lost !
Italy is now practically united into
one State under the energetic sway OF
Victor Emanuel. That monarch and
his General, Garibaldi, have at their
command one OF the finest, best dis.
ciplinei, experienced and most eff.
cient armies in Europe. 1t is Injured
