COUNTERFEITERS A RRESTKD,- Though
worthless, , depreciated and counterfeit
bank notes, the people are in a fair way ol
being fleeced to their heart's content. A
man by the name of Henry Bevington, we
learn from the Plain Dealer, was arrested
a few days ago at Norwalk, in this State
for passing counterfeit money on the city
Bank of New Haven. 1,060 dollars in
counterfeit bills were found in his posses
sion. A man by the name ot James Still
ing has also been arrested at Massil.'on for
passing counterfeit bills on the same bank
Counterfeits on this bank have got into
, the Southern part of the State, though we
bare heard of none being in circulation
hereabouts. They have made there way
to uncinoati, however. The Atlas lias

. . Murder and lynch law at t'onnril Bluff.
The Western Bugle, published at Coun
cil Bluff, of the 17th, contains a litn . ac
count of a murder and suhseutht execu
tion o' the alleged murderer, by a decree
of Judge Lynch' court, in that- town.-.
The muider was committed at the en
campment of a party of emigrants,.' about
half a mile from the town,, upon a person
by the iiame of J. C, SamuejsVaid to be
from Columbus Ohio. The deceased and
one Baltimore Muer were messmates at
the camp, they ! were to stand guard.
About twelve o'clock at night the party
were aroured by a man coming into the
camp, and saying that his horse had been
stolen; at daylight they went out aim found
Samuels lying ten feet from the camp
lire, on his back, with his head severely
bruised, his skulf broken in several placed,
and his neck partly cut off with rome in
strument, supposed to be an axe. which
wm found Iving near the body covered
with blood. His coat anj pantaloons had
been opened, and his belt, cont aining some
$300, had been take off, and Muer was
not to be found. Suspicion full upon
him, and active exertir.ns were set on foot,
by the Sheriff, for his arrest. A" coro
ner's jurj was summoned, and' about the
time the body of the young man was pla
ced in the wagon to be moved toilfe Court
House, Muer returned to the camp. He
was arrested, lreat excitement per a-
dud the town, and it was suggested that the
piisoner shou'd be lynched. But he was
taken to the Gourt Home and confined in
the upper room and ironed. The examina
tion proceeded. For a time the people
(mostly emigrants) were quiet. 1 '
The Sheriff addressed the crowd, and
they agreed not to be guilty of any vio
lence, After a while, howMvi", and when
the body was disposed for the enquiry,
the oflicers rere alarmed by the appear
ance of a party who demanded the pos
session of the prisoner. The Sheriff re
fnonstrated, but to no purpore. The cmi
grants took the man in custody, and pro
ceeded to try him. A Judge; jury and of
ficers were appointed; and despite the re
monstrances of the District Attorney, and
others, the trial was proceeded with.
At the eonclumon of the examination, the
jury declared the prisoner guilty, and sen
tanced him to execution at 5 o'clock that
evening, at or near the spot where th
murder was committed.' Clergyman were
admitted to him, but ho protested his ino-
cence of this crime, though guilty of oth
ers. At il.o hour appointed, the mn
was taken to the spot, a rope thrown over
thehmbofa tree, and adjusted around
his neck. To the last, he protested his
innocence of the crime. ' The lrnchin

The cultivation of thn Vine, which is
lncr.a-'iug rapidly in the neighborhood
of Cincinnali, docs not keep up with the
demand for the native wine. Last sum
mer Mr. Longworth and others who m'wkc
Champagne, were obliged to send to Wis
consin to get wine; and notwithstanding
the number of vineyards has increased.
yet the price for the plain ' juice has ad
vanced from 7o cents to about $1,25 per
gallon. Air. Longworth, un'il lately,
made about 50,000 bottles of Champagne
per year, and seemed to supply the mar
ket, but now he makes nearly 200,00 )
bottles per year, besides several other
large manufactories, iwd does not supply
the demand.' "' Vineyards are now stretch
ing up between Cincinnati and Portsmouth
on the hilly land on the river, Lands that
were considered a few years ao of little
value, except for timber, especially ori
the Kentucky side are now getting 0f
great value, and hardly yet half appreci
aled. , .
For instance, in conversation with Mr
Buchanan of Cincinnati, a wealthy mer
chant ol that city, who has interested him
self very muck in the vine cultivation, I
learned that he had a vineyard of six acres
a few miles from Cincinnati; that he kept
an accurate account of debt and credit
that last year, f which was a crape tear.
he sold 2.000 dollars worth of wine from
the vineyard; and that all the expenses at
tending him amounted to 400 dollars,
leaving a net profit of 1.C00 on sis acres,
after paying for all labor.' " '
Now no other farming will pay like this;
and the hills on the Ohio River are worth
as much for that purpose, within say 100
miles, or where Porlsmonth is situated
as Mr. Buchanan's land which, from its
contiguity to the city. Is wertb from 300
dollars to 600 dollars per acre. U. S.

) Last night wd received the" telegraphic
report from Vera Cruz, of Santa Anna's
arrival at that port, though he had not
been expected till two nays later. The
British steamer came in sight at one o'
clock, nnd an immense crowd immediately
assembled at the wharf. ' The ringing of
all tbe church bells innumerable, guns fired
from the fortress IJIloa, flourishing speech
es, and whatever else, could be done, to
be done to w Iconic the Liberfador, as he
has been nailed a dozen times alieady pn
former occasions, gave a demonstration of
public feeling. . , , . .
Most likely Santa Anna will first visit
his estates, near Vera Cruz, and leave
time for equally brilliant receptions on iiis
route, before he comes to' this city, where
General Lombardini, the provisional Pres
ident, has been raising a numeious army,
or rather officially, having created' 1501)
officers, r v
There rumors are in town, that a col's
diploma can be got Bt $303 a piece, and
other, charges in propotion; and that Gen
eral Lombardini is making up for the time
lost , under Herrera and Arista. The
treasury being as empty as ever, he has
even stretched his sacriligious hands to
wards the church property, and aroused
the indignation of the Un-vorsal, a paper
sold to the black robe, while the Monitor,
the former ministerial pnper, has changed
its colors for the tenth time, and it is as
extravagant in Santa Anna's praise, ao it
ever was in cursing him after the former
reverses. . , ,
When I saw the promoters of the last
revolution, Blancarte and Uiaga, decline
all honors, I thought that better principles
would piyvail; but I am afraid that all
thoSo starved creatures of Santa Anna,
men like Baranda, Bocanegra, Range! and
others, whose politics have been the form
er ruin of the country, will again divide
the spoils. The daily stages to Vera Cruz
are crowded with office seekers, and I co'd
not name one of all those who are thus
gone to meet Santa Anna, who is capable
of anything good.. The monopolists, the
gamblers and tho like, are the foremost,
and probably the most likely to succeed
' Santa Anna having been proclaimed
President in this city on the lflth, nnd at

C " Preventer Can. "
There shbuM be no such things as rail-
rond collisions. There is no excuse for
them. If conductors and engineers would
. . .. .. .. , -
rigorously nunere to proper time tables,
nnd if every road were properly policed
by a sufficient number of men to thorough
ly watch the track, collisions would be
nearly impossible. But if, it is the pur
pose, of railroad managers, ind engineers
to continuo to run trains hap hazard, as of
late, we suggest that two, or three, or four
preventer cars be placed on the train : be
tween the baggage and passenger cars.
They might be stoutly constructed, and
by means of a stuffing of cotton, or the
use of India rubber, or some other ' elastic
substance, be made a perfect protection to
the passengers in cases like the fatal cat
astrophe near Chicago, or the more recent
deplorable plunge at Norwalk. It would
have been far better to have had two' or
three cars filled with cotton or wool hurled
into that frightful vortex at the Norwalk
draw, than to have had that previously
treighted train precipitated into the chasm
in the awful manner we have seen.
we Are not aware of any practical ! ob
jection to our suggestion. It is nlready
half carried out; for we hear that since
the disaster, the first car on the New II
ten road is neatly or quite deserted. -V.

Many murmur and many are amazed at

between the Creator and Mis creatures.
Upon their part their is to be obedience
upon His the gift of the good things of

working for wages, and securing a re
ward both here and hereafter. . The mis
chief this mistaken view Works is incalcu
lable. It is not only mischievous, but
false also. God does so reward goodness.
His denlings favor not the merchantile idea
of religion. When the love of truth and
the love of goodness are awaked and cher
ished in the soul, God sends, sometimes,
indeed, outward prosperity, but always an
inciease of light and wisdom and virtue

which is better than peace, an insatiable

A Martyb Heroine. It is stated in
the New York Times that a report had
just reached (he Hungarians in that city,
through various private hands, of an
event outreaching and yet known of Aus
trian cold-b'ooded, judicial lyruony. Dur
ing 'the spring of 1851, fvo years after
the revolution, and in the midst of the
quiet of slavery, all Hungary was aroused
Jy the news, that a young and distinguish
ed young lady had been suddenly anest-
ed, the Couiitess Blancii Teleki. She was
high-born, of one of the oldest families of
Hungary a f.imily beloved for its many
brave deeds of heroio patriotism. She
had been owner of large estate but;
though of the aristocratic order, none
oved her better than the peasantry.
They all knew her as the friend of the
poor. And in many rural districts, the
Sunday Schools and schools for the lower
asses owe their origin entirely to the
self-sacrificing labors of this lady. , &as'.
picion had never breathed upon Iter name.
She loved Hungary,1 and she was a wo
man of hemic spirit, These .were .gup. i
posed to be the reasons of her "arrest---. '
The charge against her was, that she was
in correspondence with Kossuth and Maz-
zini. On one, even there, supposed the
Government wonld dare to injure her, or
hold her long. The news now is. tbnt in
those fi i st spring days, the young Coun
tess Teleki was private-ly executed in her
prison probably that of Gros Wardein.

ted,) who got into a great rage, knocked
me down, and even put Crispen rudely
out of the room. Bowyer asked me why
I made myself such a fool! To which I
answeied, that 1 hated the thought of be
ing a clergyman, "Why so," said he,
"Because, to tell you the truth, sir," said
I, "I am an Infidell" For this, without
more ado, Bowyer flogged me, wisely, as
I think soundly, as I know. Any whi-
ning or sermonizintr would have gratified
my vanity and confirmed me in my absur
dity; as it was I was laughed at, and got
heartily ashamed of my folly. Colerigdt.
