CoUYTERFEITERs ARRESTED ED-IMPLEMeNTs OF
TRADE SECURED.-On Sunday last an impor-
tsnt arrest was made in this County, Of COun-
terieiters The Gate Hill House, Arthur
O'Connor, hes for some time been suspected.
There were two young men arrested in Bing-
hamton last week for passing counterfeit half
and quarter dollars, and from them some idea
vas got Of the source from which they got the
coin United States Deputy Marshal B. W.
Morse, of Binghamton, came down with his
assistant, Thomas Young on Saturday night
last, and having secured the assistance Of off
GERS Farnham and Dofy, Of Owego, moade a
descent on the Gate Hill Hotel, abont 5 clock
on Sunday morning They found Mr.. O'COn-
nsr at home, and arrested him and scare he'd
him on the premises On him officer Farnhanl
found Two bogus half dollars which he tried
to secrete. On searching the house a GaITan-
c Battery, Acids, and other Chemicals nsed
in plating coin were found IN o trnnk.-
On further search n the bar they found Secre-
ted in the ceiling Machine called an Edger
for Milling the coin; also, hve dollar coun-
terfet bill, and an important letter and other
materials, such as playing cards, copper Filings,
charcoal, plaster of Paris, and :uany other
things employed by counterfeittrS, Mr.
OConner was brought to Owego and deposited
in Jail, and on Sunday night taken to Bug
hamton, where he now lies for examination.
Bogus halves have of late been very COM
mon. We lately saw two of them in the hands
of prominent Lawyer of this village which
he had carelessy taken in his business transac-
tions The style of manufacture is good. and
as they are plated with the genuine metal. it is
difficult at first to detect them, but after being
used for some time, they show the base metal
They are always lighter than the genuine, and
may be known easiest by comparison OF their
weight with pure coin. We hope this gang
will be so thoroughly broken up that this bns
ness will be abandoned in this county. The
bogus coin in circulation is enormous, and il
becomes every person receiving silver to exam
inc it closely They are, not all made from
one die, but are cast in plaster of Paris mould;
and from each mould only one is made, which
of course, bears the date of the genuine coli
used The bogus coins are of the same size
and we'll milled, and the impression as clea
and as well defined as the good money O0sg'

BALTIMORE, Friday, June 7, lS

The Williamspors correspondent OF the
Anerican who has shown himself to be q most
careful and faithful man, writes this morning
that "a number of Virginia companies at
Harper's Ferry have been disbanded, and most
of the soldiers that went from Berkeley, have
returned home A deserter who this moment
arrived here, assures me that deSertions have
reduced some companies TO about half the
original number.
1.-TWO boys Of this place (Williamsport).
about II years OF age, were induced this morn
ing to cross the river by two men, representing
themselves as Uunionists desiring to escape.
The moment they crossed, the boat was seized
by hidden soldiers, and broken to pieces, and
the boys carried off to the camp"
A Baltimore deserter ct Harpers Ferry,
arrived here, represents q deplorable state of
affairs there. He says there is no discipline
the men are only half armed, and the food is
obtained by scramble, fight, or foraging
Half OF the force is watching the opportuni-
ty to desert, and he ridicules the idea of their
being in condition to repel the force ap-
preaching from Chambersburg. He thinks
that Secession is played out in that part OF
Virginia and that place will be evacuated.

THE WHEELING CONVENTION.
WASHINGTON. Friday Jrne I. 1861

We learn from prominent politician. who
has Just arrived from Wheeling, what will be
tho probable course Of the Convention which
meets on the ll;h inst. All the leading men
have agreed not TO attempt to make new
State out Of Western Virginia, bet to
act for the Old Dominion, as a whole, setting
I'D provisional Government in place Of that
which has by rebellion, a6dcated its power.
TIE first act Of the Convention will be to de-
pose Gov. Letcher and his rebellious asSo-
ciates It will then appoiut good and true
men in their places. The provisional Govern
ment will probably be Geh Jackson OF Park
ersburg. The convention will then declare
Eastern Virginia in state OF insurrecton
against the General Government from which
d to put down the rebellion will be invoked
The Legislature chosen for the 23d ut, the
members OF whicn are, by its request, to iGeet
with the Convention, will be pronounced the
legally elected Legislature Of the State, and
will be empowered to proceed at once to the
transaction of business. The Governor will
send in his message to the two Houses, and
two Senators, of whom John S. Carlile will
probably be one, and leading Republican
the other will be chosen.
In this plan of operation Messrs Carile
Wiley, Perpont, jackson unite. Our infor.
maui thinks that the Convention will be one Of
the grandest popular sssemblages ever called
together The leaders are few Behind them
the people, numerous and united. In this move
ment lies the hope aud salvation of the Old
Dominion. Through its action, in cooperation
with that of the Federal Government, she will
| be transformed from a wholesale negro trade
| into great commonwealth. The sentimen:
| Of Western Virginia is represented to be all
one way. In 80 counties out Ct $4,000 free
votes, all but 1900 were for the Union. No
traitors are allowed to plot treason now
The polls are examined, and every voter for
Secession is led, without violence, with the
utmost kindness, to the Court House, where
be required to take the oath of allegiance to
the United States. There are very few who
| have not taken it bv this time
