Are the most deceptive kinds Of frauds
set afoat by counterfeiters. 1t has prov
ed the most lucrative, and by far the
most successful deception. The change
is much easier made than to manufacture
new bill, and much less liable to de-
lection. because the general appearance
of the bill is good, and when we'll done
more liable to deceive than a fac simile
counterfeit. Counterfeiters take advan.
tage of this, and are constantly issuing
very large amounts Of altered bills from
the notes of old defunct institutions,
many of which were originally engraved
in the best style Of the art. The mum
Der of these bills is rapidly increasing,
and to such an alarming extent that a
merchant can scarcely leave his count
ing room for an hour with any degree of
safety or comfort, if his emplo ees are
not we'll posted and guarded, fearing that
on his return he will find in his money
drawer one Of these ingenious frauds.
Such perfection has been acquired in
this art, that no business man is safe
without having regularly and constantly
reliable and well-posted Bank Note
Reporter. If counterfeiters get up notes
on some Eastern Bank, they generally
select the West to circulate them in first.
1t therefore becomes necessary to have a
Detector that is published where the
earliest information in regard to them
can be obtained. Such an one we can
recommend in Messrs. f. /. Tinkham &

Patent Tire Heater.

~ While Literature and Science are
presenting to the world almost every
day, new beauties and developments, the
Mechanic Arts are not whit behind in
attesting the great truth that this is an
age Of progress. One by one the old
landmarks are being displaced by new
objects, and the old tire-some way of do
ing things, superseded by methods which
make the act to be accomplished mere
matter of play. Nothing has so much
impressed our mind with the utility of
American inventions, lately, as the Pa.
tent Tire Heater" whose practical work
ings we Witnessed few days since. This
machine is the invention of our towns
man, ALFRED INGALLS,, Esq. So far as
we could observe, it works admirably,
and accomplishes all that the inventor
claims for it. The following are some of
the advantages to be secured by its use ::
1t saves at least four fif.hs in time, and
of fuel nine -tenths. 1t heats the tire
more evenly. 1t can be used indoors,
and with as much safety as an ordinary

or coal, and in the winter season it can

Fort Pickeus.

Judge Douglas is in favor of giving
up Fort Pickens, but processes to be in
favor Of holding on to Key West and
Tortugas. How long he would remain
of this last opinion, nobody knows. blu,
probably not long after he had persua-
ded the Government to give up For.
Pickens.
The distinction which he attempts to
make in the two cases, as given in his
own words, in the Senate on Monday, is
as follows:
1t may be supposed. perhaps, that
Key West and Tortugas, or Forts Tay-
lor and Jefferson. as they are called in
the War Department, are within the linn
its Of the Confederate States but that is
entirely a mistake. The Confederate
States, being a revolutionary Govern.
ment, hold whatever they actually occu.
py, and no more. Revolution takes moth
ing by implication /; and inasmuch as the
Confederate States have never been in
possession Of Key West and Tortugas, it
cannot be said that those places are with
in the limits Of the Confederate States
under the revolutionary Government
Besides. those two places are national
Notifications, built for general defence
Notifications in which the commerce OF
Maine has thousand fold more interest
than that of Florida. Those are places
that we should hold under all circum-
stances, whether the cotton States should
be restored to us, or whether they shall
be permanently separated from U.S."
If revolution takes nothing by impli-
cation, it has never taken Fort Pickens,
which is on an island, from the possess
ion Of which the United States have new
er been ousted.
1t was for national objects that the
harbor of Pensacola was acquired in the
purchase of the Floridas. 1t has been
for national objects that it has been forti.
fed at vast expense. 1t is the only
naval harbor on the Gulf, and high ma
tional policy requires that it should be
held. The same reasons apply to it
which apply to Key West and Tortu-
gas.
1t was the doctrine Of the Democratic
party, that Cuba was so essential to us
that we should be justified in making
war for its acquisition. if Spain refused
to sell it. The Floridas are more essen
tial to US than Cuba ever was and while
the morality of Selling what belongs to
others may be doubtful, the justice of
holding on to what is our own by fair
purchase. is not doubtful at ALL This
question is not to be affected by the wish
es Of the handful of people in Florida.
II is simply question, whether Georgia
and Alabama and South Carolina have a
better right TO Florida. than the United
States. Judge Douglas thinks they have,
so far at least as Pensacola is concerned ;
but we doubt much if the country will
agree with him.-National Republican.
