Prominent Southerners just from the,
North report that the popular sentiment is

Pirates OH Hudson River.
The Herad's Poughkeepsie special of the
1st says: A heavy robbery was perpetrated
at Coldspring, New York, yesterday morn
ing. Poe thieves entered the store of one
Cooley and stole therefrom large quantities
of silks, velvets, ribbons, &c, to the amount
Of $1,000. Mr.. Cooley has offered reward
of $500 for the arrest and conviction of the
scoundrels. The Hudson river at the pres
ent time is infested with gangs of thieves
from New York to Albany. The pirates
ascend the river in small sailing crafts, and
depredations are being committed all along
its banks. Stafford, recently shot at Sing
Sing while attempting to escape, was one
of the leaders of the gangs. From up the
river reports reach us of harness, silver
ware and clothing of every description be-
ing carried away from different points, and
in almost every instance strange looking
vessels have been seen in localities, where
the robberies were perpetrated the day
previous to the theft.
Counterfeit 500 Greenback.
New YORK, Oct. "A very dangerous
500 counterfeit on the Central National
Bank in this city, is in circulation. The
only way for the public to protect them
selves will perhaps. be to refuse for the
present all 800 National Bank notes, eX-
cept they are received from sources of well
known respectabiIty. One of the peculi-
arities of the counterfeit here referred to
is, that the "T'i in the word "Maintain," on
the right hand of the bill, is defective, and
looks like theletter ~" The counterfeiter,
however, can soon remedy this detect.
