Extensive Forgeries-Arrest of the
Forgerers.

INV York, Nov. 1T.-Superintendant
Kennedy of the Metropolitan Police has
become aware of certain extensive foFgeries
which have been committed in New York
and other States. About SIX weeks ago he
gave the case in charge Of some detectives
in this city to be worked, and they have
since been diligently employed in it with
very satisfactory results. The principal
persons against whom the industry of the
police have resulted in bringing charges
are named Walter Patterson, Michael
O'BrieD, Ira Calder, George 7. Oonglin,
Hugh McNellis, John Sticker and Spencer
Pettus, the first four named have been ar
rested, the other two are still at large
Conglin has turned states evidence, and yes
terdsy gave testimony against the others in
one of the cases of their alleged fraud, the
investigation of which was commenced in
the Tombs Police Court, and will be con-
tinUed to-day. This case involved the
forgery of the name of Richard D. Lathrop
of this city on check on which the money
was drawn from the Bank of Commerce.
The whole sum of forgeries is supposed
to invole a sum of about $250,O00.

~THz LADIES AID socrErY.-The La
dies Soldiers Aid Society of this city still
has it's regular meetings, and the Society is
doing incalculabIe good. One great draw
back to their generous efforts is the meagre
attendance of late. In consequence the
labor and the burthens of the association
fall upon few when they could be borne
moro easily by the many. The active
members are going about doing much good
among the families of soldiers in the city, and
are making up many useful articles which
are always judiciousIy disposed of. If the
attendance were larger the Society would
be much eheered and encouraged in the
good work, and the benefits would increase
in corresponding manner. 1t is earnest
ly hoped that the ladies who have hereto
fore done so nobly will not allow their iu-
terest to lag when their services are needed
quite as much as ever.

E~ WINTER IN EARHEsT.-Already We
have had cold, raw rains and the cutters
have been filled with ice. The trees are
now nearly bare. The few remaining
leaves are tumbling down leaving their
sprays naked and bear. This is the time
to think of the poor. To the favored pOr-
ton of the community winter lie only a
change of season that brings with it sleigh
riding, concerts, social parties, and enjoy
ment in general. To far larger portion
of the community it brings suffering, hun
ger, cold and deprivation Of many kinds.
For this reason therefore let those who re-
Ioice in the pleasures that are brought to
them by winter, reflect upon the tribula-
tiOns brought upon the poor by the same
season.

and seven transports. The next day he
shelled the town for forty Eight hours and
then left. Meanwhile portion of Wheel

CongratuIatorv.

WAsHrN0FoH. Nov, I7.-This evening
the Maryland Union State Central Com
mittee formally called upon President
Lincoln, to congratulate him on his re-
election.
W. d. Purdsll their chairman in his ad-
dress said: they were under obligations to
him, because by the exercise of discretion
on his part, Maryland to-day occupied the
proud position of a free S ate, and they
desired that his future administration Of
the government, as the ast,might result in
the restoration of the Union with uniVer-
sal freedom az its immuIible basis.
The President replied, and said he would
not attempt to conceal his qualification
at the result of the election. he had ex-
ercised his best judgment for the good of
the whole country, and to have the seal
of appreciation placed on his course was
exceedingly gratifying to his feelings. He
expressed the belief that the policy he had
pursued was the best and only one which
could save the country. He repeated what
he had said before, that he INDUCED in no
feeling of triumph over any one, who had
thought or acted different from him. he
had no such feeling toward any living man.
he thought the adoption of & Free State
Constitution for Maryland q big thing and
a victory for the right and worth great
deal more than the part of Maryland in
the election, although of the latter he
thought well. In conclusion he repeated
what he had previously said, namely, that
those who differed from him and opposed
us, will see that defeat was better for
their own good than if they had been sue
cessful.
A short time was then spent in plea
SAINT intercourse, the President reIa-
ting several anecdotes appropriate to
the occasion,

h~MoRE ABOUT THR LATE HoMoCID1
AT New CREEK-we have learned some
additional particulars in relation to the re-
cent homocide in Captain Holmes battery
at New Greek. On Sunday last, after roll
call, dispute arose between a man named
Greene, who is resident of Ohio and a
member of the battery, and John Hazlett
of this city, about who should wash the
dishes of the mess to which they belonged.
Some hard words passed and they came to
blows. Greene got Hazlett down in a
little drain that had been recently dug
around the tent and was pounding him in
very vigorous manner when Filau, of
this city, member of the same mess, in
terfered and separated the combatants.-
After doing so Filan walked away and
was followed by Green with apparently
hostile intentions. AS he approached FL
Ian knocked him down, and as Greene
fell he pulled Filan down also. While
lying upon the ground Greene drew a
knife and made several cuts at Filan's
breast. Finding that he could not force
an entrance owing to the heavy clothing
about the breast, Greene ran his knife into
FiIan's abdomen, severing his entrails
and producing horrible wound. Filan
died the Same evening and was buried, we
believe, on Tuesday. His family reside in
the 9th Ward.
