which was universal and disinterested be-.
nevolence, making willingness to suffer
the highest degree Of misery for the sake of

Recent Developments have brought TO
light financial transactions by prominent

brand him as forger to large amount.
d. A. Lyon, the we'll known carriage
maker, for nearly year has been engaged
in negotiating notes purporting to be made
by parties in different parts of this and adj
joining counties, the signatures of which

The document published in the New
Orleans Morning Delta, purporting to be a
protest from the commander of the French
war vessel now lying in that port, against
the bombardment of the city by the FEEDER
al feet, is pronounced forgery. The

Samuel Bowles, the editor of the
Springfield Republican, now travelling in
Europe for bis health, writes as follows:
As yet get my walters and ministers of the
established church sadly mixed up. They
dress just alike, and so far l have to give the
preference for impressiveness of manner and
mental alertness to the walters. Certainly a
big man in white canonicals, who mouthed a
lot of inceherrent stuff at q popular audience
in Westminster Abbey last Light, would do the
world and his Maker better service bring; ing
bread and cheese and pouring beer in coun.
try hotel, tha1 disgusting and befOgging peO-
pie from pulpit in a matter of the highest i'm.
port to their happiness.
-Parson Brownlow is reaping golden

bis mind to deliver Fourth Of July grafton

The regular Washington correspondent
of the Euenimg Post thus alludes to the
Presidents proclamation ard the republican
opposition to it:
The proclamation of the President last night
took most of bis party friends by surprise.
They knew that he would modify Hunters or.
der 10 some way, but were not expecting the
proclamation. L. can do no harm ard work NO
injustice to any one to state that large ma
jorIty of the republicans were in favor of let
ting Hanter's order alone-if good for nothing,
to fail to the ground with its own weight if
valid, 20 have its full effect
