DEATH OF WILLIAM B. DICKINs,

More than twenty years ago, the writer
of this article met WILLIAM B. DIcKlNs,
in Pamela County, Mississippi. He was
then a young planter, known far and
we'll for his energy, truth, and personal
virtues. Differing, and yielding as parti-
sans do, in times of high political ex-
ctement to passion, we were at times
fierce party antagonists, but not per-
sonal enemies. AS time passed, he grew
in wealth and influence, and became one
of the first men in county that was
remarkable for the intelligence of its
population. He was sent to the Legisla-
ture of the State, and though never
aspiring to the character Of debater,
welded personal influence that gener-
ally crowned his measures with success.
None surpassed him in the sublime attri-
butte of courage, and few equaled him
in the practice of justice. Danger had
few terrors for him, and vice no fascina
ton. He saw grown up around him a
large family who honored, and great
community who trusted and respected
him. After passing unscathed through
many dangers, he fell at last victim to
the destroyer that has lately swept along
the great arteries of commerce and travel,
and breathed away an honorable life in
this city few days since.

COUNTERFEIT MONEY.

The Solicitor of the Treasury has now
organized a complete corps of detectives
to find out counterfeiters of national cur
rency. Most of the counterfeiting is
done at New York, The greater part of
the counterfeit money printed is shipped
to the South, where it is more readily
passed, as the people are unaccustomed
to its use, and they are less liable to de-
lection than in the Northern States. This
is clearly proven by the fact that in mo-
ney packages Of currency received at the
Treasury from parties in the South, for
redemption on account of mutilation,
ETC., large part, frequently one-half, is
found to be spurious.

A Rich Couple.

A London correspondent says: The
betrothal is just declared of perhaps our
wealthiest manageable lady (for Miss
Burdetta Coutts l look upon as already
welded to her good works., and Dame
Fortune, in her blindest mood, has de-
creed that she shall find bridegroom
nearly as wealthy as herself. Such will
be the case in the marriage of Earl Beau
champ with Miss Dundas- Christopher
Hamilton-Nisbett, in whom each patro-
nymic is understood to imply fortune.
Lord Beauchamp, well known in the
House of Commons as the staunch con-
sentative member for Worcestershire,
succeeded last year, by the death of his
younger brother, to the title and estates,
estimated at over forty thousand year.
But bis bride is even more richly en-
dowed, for it is admitted that she will
ultimately succeed to an income Of more
than sixty thousand year, to say moth
ing of an immense and increasing amount
of ready money.

THE RADICAL GERMANS.

The radical Germans are now worse
than the radical Americans. They fed
from their country to enjoy American
liberty. They came here, and their first
act is to introduce their impracticable
theories to the public, and dictate to the
men who were born to freedom, and
therefore, know what it means. This
class Of Germans recently had conven-
non at Indianapolis. They say 1--WE
quote now from the Peoria Democrat,
that the present limited power of the
President is anti-democratic and mon
archical and recommend that the
executive powers should be united with
the legislative, to prevent the central
ization Of power. By what means
this evil Of Capitalization is to be pre-
vented we are not informed, but the
resolution to place the prerogatives of
the President in the hands of com
mite Of Congress, sayors so strongly OF
the preparation made for a despotic
monarchy in France by the appoint
ment of similar directory, that people
will be apt to consider before they adopt
or encourage this Red Republican, rev.
dictionary measure.
They resolve in favor Of the Monroe
doctrine. and as means Of carrying it
out, they propose that the United States
shall take part in any European revolu-
ton that may offer an opportunity, thus
infallibly embroiling this country in a
war with all the States Of Europe.
They resolve against thanksgiving and
fast days, and the observance of the Sab
bath, the oath on the Holy Scriptures,
the opening of legislative bodies with
prayer, and demand that these things
shall be abolished by law. These things
appear to be, in their opinion, mountains
in the way Of progress to universal lib
erty.
They resolve that the Roman Catholic
religion is dangerous to the State and
violation Of national sovereignty, and
that il should not be allowed to exist
without special permission under pre-
cautionary conditions" In regard to
this point. they propose to take pattern
from AID copy the governments Of the
old world. of which they say that none OF
them concede to the Catholics that
!. Independence and peaceful condition
which they possess in the United States
