Valley road got off the track near Cases
Creek, this forenoon. Nobody hurt and not
much damage done. Everything is all right
now. Think for a moment, how important
it is that everything goes right on that road.
More than 80, 900 people depend on that road
for the fuel to cook their daily food and keep
them warm. The failure of a bridge or an
engine, or anything else which would stop
the trains, is, therefore, of the utmost impor-
tancs to 10000 people. who would suffer very
much if anything shouldsgo wrong.

DISPOSITION OF CoUNTERFEITERs.-E ah
Carter, ESQ, government assessor and col
lector for this sub district, has been at Chi
cage for the last two weeks IN attendance
upon the United States court during the trial
OF several persons arrested In this county
charged with passing counterfeit United
States currency. We learn from him that
Rose, alias Roseerans, who was arrested for
showing two $50 greenbacks on our banks,
Las had his case continued.
Patterson and another man, who were ar
rested in Coal Valley for passing counter
felt $50 on Mrs. Troyer, proved that they
were not in Coal Valley at the time the bills
were uttered: Mr. Patterson has always
been much respected for his uprightness and
We congratulate him on making 1t appear
that he was not the man. Although Mrs.
Trover testified positively that Patterson was
the man who gave her the bill, he proved
that he was in Rock Island at the time 1t
appeared that the man who passed the worth
less bill went from Coal Valley to Deanlng-
ton and there passed other worthless bills OF
the same denomination Mrs. Trover was
mistaken in her Identification. The two per.
sons looked 80 near alike that Mrs. I. thought
Patterson certainly was the man.
Eli Robinson, who sold the two boys, Il.
Waters and Garner, the $50 counterfeit
gFeenbaek, was tried, convicted and sentenced
10 the Rock Island county Jail for one year.
We believe the above comprises all the
eases from this county.-Cnton.

4 TRIP TO DIxrE,-Wm. Bell. Esq. of this
city, has Just returned from trip to Alabama
where he has been for the purpose of exam
lining and reporting upon gold discoveries
there. Gen. Coon, of Iowa, and some other
gentlemen, supposed they had a chance for a
fortune, in the gold mines of Alabama, but.
before purchasing. Gen. Coon procured Mr..
Bell. an experienced miner, TO go down and
examine the prospect. Mr.. Bell, after
thorough examination. reports that there is
gold there, but not IN sufficient quantities to
pay Tor working.
Nr. Bell speaks in high terms of praise Of
the disposition of the people Of the south,
wherever he has been towards the Union and
thinks it only requires a hearty support of
President j ohnson's policy to ensure per-
feet restoration of good feeling between the
north and the south. He says the people
there, all seem to be entirely satisfied with
President johnson.
