Four Counterfeiters Shot,

At Pocahontas, Tennessee, family, con-
sisting of an old man and his two sons,
named respectively, VIM. S. Carper, George
and Wm. Carper, and bis son-in-law, whose
name is Gruder, were lately arrested on q
charge of counterfeiting. The testimony
including that of confederate, who turned
States evidence-implicated them in the
doings of gang who are concerned in horse
stealing, and robbery, and the making of
spurious gold pieces, which manufacture, the
evidence went to show, is carried on in Mem
pbis. The men were arrested on charge of
being concerned in the counterfeiting of S23
pieces, and on examination were bound over
for trial On being released they threatened
to take the lives OF the prosecutor and of
their old associate who had made revelations.
The citizens became indignant at this def
ance of law. and on Tuesday Afternoon pro-
ceeded to re-conduct them to prison. After
a struggle, they succeeded in disarming the
men, but on proceeding to take them to pris
on the four made desperate effort to escape,
and an exciting scene ensued. The citizens.
determined that such villains should not
again prey upon the community, fired upon
them as they tried to run of. The shots
were numerous, and not one of the four men
escaped being hit; some of them were struck
three or four times. S. Carper was killed on
the spot; George Carper was not expected to
survive Tuesday night; VIM. Carper was lying
ia critical condition; Gruder was seriously,
but not fatally injured. Geo. Carper was re-
Gently tried-probably in Memphis-on a
charge of stealing a trunk containing sixteen
hundred dollars. We give the particulars as
nearly as we have been able TO collect them.

APPLICATION OF CHLoRoFoRM IN NEURALGIA.
The Edinburg Medical Journal contains an
account by DR.. Little, of his successful mode
Of applying chloroform in neuralgia, &c.
DR.. LIS mode of application is, to take
piece of lint little less in size than the
watch glass to be used-which need not be
more than two inches in diameter-putting
it on the hollow SIDE of the glass, pouring
on it a few drops of chloroform sufficient to
saturate it, and then applying it at once to
the part affected, keeping the edges of the
glass closely applied to the skin, by cover
ing it with the hand, for the purpose of keep
ing it in position, as we'll as of assisting the
evaporation of the chloroform. This is done
in from five to ten minutes, according to the
amount of irritation wished for The patient,
during this time, will complain of the gradu-
al increase of burning sensation-not SO Sc
we're es that produced by mustard sinapism
which reaches its height in five minutes,
and then abates, but does not entirely disap-
pear for more than ten minutes. To insure
the full operation of the remedy, it is neces-
sary that the watch glass.be rather concave,
that 1t be closely applied to the skin, and
that the hand applied lover 1t be sensibly
warm. The immediate effect of the applica-
ton is to remove all local pain in neuralgia.

So the Guthrie propositions, with the

Every person seems hopeful of a saiIstac-

are elated and have flung the flags TO the

Congress will not now diSappOint the people
how the country will rejoice, and once more
return upon its course of prosperity There
are very few here who believe that the Cot

Mr. LincoIn,s Course Influenced by
Marshal Kane.

We were yesterday informed by Marshal
Kane that the following statement, which
appeared yesterday in the despatch of our
Washington correspondent Especial" is lit
orally correct, so far as it refers to himself !:
sit appears that few hundred men, par
ticularly obnoxious to the people and public
sentiment of Baltimore, had determined to
avail themselves of the opportunity to use
Mr.. Lincoln, and to accompany him in pro-
cession from the depot to his hotel.
"They applied to Marshal Kane for pro-
lection by the police. He advised against
the proceeding, assuring the parties that
while Mr.. Lincoln, in his passage through
Baltimore, would be treated with the respect
due to him personally and to his high official
position, there was no guaranty that the
proposed procession would be similarly re-
spected. He thought, moreover. that the
proceeding would be calculated to place the
people of Baltimore in false position, as
neither they nor the citizens of MARYLAND
sympathized with Mr.. Lincolp's political
views. BE advised, therefore, that the idea
of procession should be abandoned, lest it
might provoke some indignity which would
involve the character of Baltimore and be
very unpleasant to the President elect
at appears, however, that the parties in
sisted on their programme, when Mr.. Lincoln
was advised of the facts, and urged to pass
Immediately through TO washington. Acting
upon this suggestion, he proceeded to Phila-
delphia in time for the night train from New
York, and reached here at O'Clock, A. NJ,
yesterday"
Marshal Kane informs US that he did give
the information to Mr.. Corwin and other
friends of Mr.. Lincoln, so that the change of
route and incognito entrance to Washington
was caused by desire to escape from bis
pretended friends here, and thus prevent a
breach of the peace that would have been
disgraceful to the city and derogatory to
American character. We do not believe
there was any intention to assault or even in
suit the President elect on the part of any
portion of our community, but it is noto-
rieus fact that the Baltimore Republican
Committee, who proceeded to Harrisburg and
declared their determination to escort Mr..
Lincoln to his quarters, would have been as.
sailed and pelted with eggs, If not otherwise
maltreeted. This would have involved Mr.
Lincoln in the disturbance, and we cannot
but think that he acted wisely under the in.
formation communicated by Colonel Kane
in preventing the possibility of such an oc-
currence as was feared by our police author.
