 A Very Old Paper. -A Representative Clemans of Falls Village has a copy of the Neso Eaagland Weekly Journal, which was "Printed by s. Kneeland and T. Green, at the printing house on Queen street (Bos- ton,) where advertisements are taken in." It bears date of Monday, April 9th, 172s. It contains as it announces, ''the most re- markable occurrences, foreign and domes- tic." A few advertisements adorn it's pages, among which we notice one advertising Negroes for sale, enquire of the printer" 7" This old souoe7sir of Colonial times, now over one hundred and forty years old, is very valuable, and it is presumed Mir. Clem- ans will carefully preserve it,as it would be a great pity to have it lost or destroyed
 Those Altered Drafts. - Something like ten days since, young man ot gentle manly address, purchased several small drafts at the National Iron Bank in Falls Village, ostensibly for the purpose of pay ing few small bills. These drafts were presented to banks in New York city, after they had been altered in amount of their manifest value, making them very much larger. ana as certain inquiries have been made by the Island City Bank, 1t is pre- stunned that institution has paid some,i not all of them, and in their passage through the Third National Bank were intercepted, the keen eyed teller detecting guilt in their countenance that reused his suspicious. Of course our Falls Village bank meets with no loss in the transaction. If the Island City Bank pays altered or counterfeit drafts, nobody else has a right to say it is any of their business. Ehp

The "Lost Cause" Resurrected.-] J. one of our letters from the ''Sunuy South e we alluded to the fact everywhere manfe ', there, that the Southern people had n }, lquietly and submissively laid away the e animosity for the d--d Yankee, iete v mining never more to resurrect it, but il g stead are nurturing thelr hate; and a ,f though the fires of passion are kept ''ban

 ply destructive if allowed to blaze up ane' , as can well be imagined. The followil ~ clipped from an exchange corroborates t
 above remarks:

 by miserable thrall of Yankeedom, | a- they cannot muzzle our chivalry and pat
