"

appreciated by those who have been accus
tomed to their. use. To coal dealers, 1 um
bo rmen, merchants, boatmen, and business
men generally, it is of great advantage
THE ( LOSE OF THE LKUISLATl'RE.
1 lie L.egisiaiure closed its Jession on
Tuesday last at noon. There was, as usual,
considerable confusion, and hasty leoisla-
tiou, the proceedings of which appear in
another column. The appropriation bill
alter several weeks labor and discussion
was killed on Monday last, by the disagree'
ment ol the Committee in Conference. A
new bill was however immediately got up
which passed both Houses, and has now be
come a law.
THE NEW JIOKIAL DISTRICT.
The Legislature on Monday last passed a
bill altering some of the Judicial districts,
lorming a new district out of Northumber
land, Lycoming, Centre and Clinton. The
Governor having vetoed this bill on ac
count of some defects in the bill, it was re
enacted in almost the same form, the day
following, and has now become a law.
We cannot see the propriety of extending
the district so far, except it was for the pur.
pose of accommodating some aspirants for
the JJench, who must have districts carved
out peculiarly adapted to their circumstan
ces. We make no objections to the Coun
ties of Centre and Clinton, with whom we
are now, for the first time, jociated Jud
cially, but to the geographical length of
the district. Belletonle and Lock Haven
are both pleasant places, and when our
rail road to Erie is completed, will be easy
of access.
the Susquehanna rail toad.
The continued opposition bf various in
terests, came very near defeating this bill,
although the,re would have been, when
tested on its own merits, a large majority
in its favor. Some members who have
made loud professions and large calcula
tions in regard to the value of this improve
ment, did not in the end, act consistently
with those professions. We rejoice, how
ever, that we have succeeded, and we
have every reason to believe that the road
between this place nnd llarrisburg will be
made as speedily as possible. The road is
an important one, and will receive the
trade of four Coal regions, viz : the Shnm
okin, the Trevorton, the Lykcns' valley,
and the Dauphin. The Philadelphia mem
bers continued their opposition to the last
moment, and by a system of log rolling and
combination of various interests, came near
defeating the bill. Our representative,
J. B. Packer, Esq., fought them manfully
in every attack, and on Saturday night be
fore the passage of the bill, made an able
and convincing Speech in its defence;
which we regret we ate not able to lay
before our readers.
O5" Gr.s. liven Brady. In another
column will be found an article Irom the
Philadelphia Bulletin, recording the death
of Gen. Brady. Since the article was put
in type, we arp glad to learn, that though
the General was severely hurt, by a fall
from his carriage, that he is still among the
living, and is likely to recover lrom his in
iuries. This will be grateful news to his
relatives and numerous friends in this place
K7" Cuba. It is rumored that Lopez
and his coadjutors have on foot another in"
vasion of Cuba. We have but little faith
in Lopez as a leader. Besides, people who
are fit for freedom and desire to be free,
should make better efforts than the Cubans
have done heretofore.
IIARKIMUIU; MAIL.
The citizens of this place have for some
years past labored ttnejer a strange delusion
that the contractor was obliged to deliver
the Ilarrisburg or Southern mail at this
place six times a week, but as we get it
only semi-occasional ly, we take it for
ranted that we were mistaken, and that
the Post Master General has left it discre
tionary with the contractor to deliver it
just when, and as often as he pleased. If
so the contractor certainly lives up to his
contract. During the past week the mail
has laid over at Northumberland) three
times, from one morning until the next.
Surely Mr. Kapp could send the mail two
miles in less than 2-t hours. If the Post
Master General will do nothing the con
templated Telegraph, to Northumberland,
is our only hope.

THE NEW Tlllt EC C EKT COIN.
The Washington Union referring to the
new three cent coin, publishes a letter from
a gentleman in the mint, wnich contains the
following information respecting it, which is
interesting. The coin will be ready for is
sue by the first of May.
As the new specimens of a newly project
ed coin are always interesling, 1 send you
one of the three cent pieces, the dies for
which have very recently been prepared at
the Mint, and approved by the President of
the united States. On the obverse you no
tice the large ornamented letter C, enclosing
the Roman numerals lit which, without
much guessing, will be found out to mean
three cents aiound which are the old thir
teen stars. On the reverse you have in the
centre a single large star, expressive of the
unity of our confederation, with a shield
upon it, and around it the usual legend, Uni
ted Statu of America, and the date, 1851.
The devioes are neat and simple, and per
fectly conformed to the law, which provides
that they 'shall be conspicuously different
from those of the other silver coins, and of
the gold dollar.1
i The metal is composed of three-fourths
silver, and one-fourth copper, nnd will al4 I
ways retain a silvery color, though not quite
equal in that respect to the other standard,
tt leaves a margin of profit to the govern
ment, which tho other coins do not ; the
reason of which may be explained as fol
lows i The original bill for this coinage,
prepared before the postage bill was initia
ted, contained another provision by which
the worn out Spanish money which circu
lates largely among us, and which is every
where regarded as a nuisance, should be
drawn into the mint and worked op. But,
In order to effect that, it was necessary to
provide means for buying thorn at their
nominal value, or not much below it ; other
wise, the people could not bo expected to
make the sacrafice those coins being real
ly worth some ten or twelve per cent, less
than their current value, by reason of wear.
The reduction of fineness from nine-tenths,
to three-fourths in the three cent piece was
therefore attended to enable government to
call in the tips, levies, nnd quarters, as
also to pay expenses of transportation, insu
rance, &c.
But in getting up that new postage law,
the framers took one leg of that coinage bill
namely, the issue of the three-cent coin as
an atixilliary lo their project and left out or
overlooked the other, which contained the
only ground or reason for alloying the coin
more largely than Ihe other silver. It is not
too late, however, to remedy this deflect.
Your representative in Congress could hardly
benefit the country at large more effectually
than by taking the subject in hand : for nl- I
though these little coins may seem to be lit- 1
, , . ,, :
tie matters in themselves, they are of all
things the most diffusive, as they come into
every body's hands, Mid are incessantly in !
requisition.
The Treasury Department has authorized
the mint to withhold tho issue until there
shall be an accumulation of half a million
pieces lo start with. They will no doubt be
ready by tho begining of May, as the coin
age has commenced. They are to be paid
out, iu order of application, in sums of thirty
lo ono hundred and fifty dollars that is one
thousand to five thousand pieces and will
bo exchanged for American gold or silver
coins, or foreign coins.
EM) OF Til li rit.lTIVi: SLAVE CASE,
departure of Sinlim far Siuvnnnull.
Triumph of Law and Order Massachusetts
llcilccmcd !
Hoston, April 12lh, 1851.
After Judge Woodbury had pronounced
his decission yesterday afternoon, he said iu
reply to an observation of the prisoner's
counsel, "1 thank God Massachusetts is still
a Stale of the Union, and so long as she is
such, 1 shall administer the laws of the
Union or perish in the attempt."
A crowd of about one thousand persons,
follownd ihe witnesses lo their hotels. The
Souiherneis were accompanied by a large
police. They received cheers, groans, ami
hisses, but n cry for :three cheers for Dan
iel Webster and the Constitution," was res
ponded to in a glorious manner.
During the night there was little excite
ment, though tho watch and police were un
der military drill until 4 o'clock this morn
ing, when they baited in a body in front of
the east door of the Court House, being iu a
hollow square.
The Fugitive Simms was brought from
his place of confinement, and placed in the
area, and the whole body moved off down
State street to Long Wharf, where Simms
was deposited on board the brig Acorn,
Coombs. The brig was towed down the
harbor by the Hornet, and is now probably
under good headway for Savannah. Several
officers accompany the captive.
The whole allair passed otT very quietly, j
There were from three to lour hundred po
licemen and watchmen in the column, arm
ed and equipped ; tho military had no look
at all. U. S. Marshall Devens, and City
Marshall Tukey, were iu the column, as
were also Ihe U. S. Deputy Marshalls.
The spectators who had followed down to
the biig did not number more than 100, and
there was no disturbance except a little his
sing. Massachusetts is redeemed !
DEATH OF GENERAL lilttUV,
Another veteran is gone. General Hugh
Hi ady, of the United Slates Army, was killed
on the 10th iust., by a fall from his carriage
in Detroit, Michigan, where he has been le.
siding for a number of years. There are
few men now living, in our army, who have
had longer service, and there are none who
have been more deserving of the popular
esteem.
Hugh Brady was a native of Northumber
land county, Pennsylvania, and was at the
time of his death over eighty years of age.
He entered the army March Tt Is, 1792, as an
ensign of infantry. He served with credit
up to the time of the war with Great Britain,
and on the 6th of July, 1S12, he was appoint
ed Colonel of the 22d Infantry. In tho bat
tle of Chippewa, he headed this regiment,
which was almost annihilated iu thai hard
fought field ; the Colonel himself being e
verely wounded. His rank in the line ever
since the war, has been that of Colonel (of
the 2d inf.iutry,l although by brevet he has
held the rank of Brigadier General since July
6th, 1822. Probably there is not another
man in the world who has been a Colonel for
nearly fbrly years.
Although not for a long time on any ac
tive duly, General Brady has stood high in
the estimation of the government and of his
fellow citizens. He has for many years had
his head-quarters at Detroit and contributed
greatly to preserving peace on the frontier
during the "patriot" disturbances in Canada.
During the administration of Gov. Ritner, his
native stale, in tardy acknowledgement of
hU services to his country, presented him

New and Dangerous Counterfeit. An
admirably executed counterfeit bill of the
uenominntion of five dollars on the liana oi
Middletown a re-issna of the Relief notes
has just made its sppearance, and unless
great care is observed, will be widely circu
lated. The general appearance of the bill,
when compared with a genuine note of the
bank, would probably delect its spurious
character. The signature and the figures
composing the number are in a heavier hand
and in blacker ink than the getiine. The
faint lining in tho medalion head on the right
end of the bill i i'p and down ihe face,
while cn the counterfeit it is nearly across
the face. More ceitain marks of detection,
however, with those who may not have a
genuine bill nt hand to compare with, may
lining of the bill. In the genuine it appears
twenty-seven times in the counterfoil onlv
ii.uiiu in uio vYuiu - uvu ' in wie uouom
twenty-six limes and in the imprint of the
genuine, "Panforth, Underwood & Co., New
York," ihere is a full point nfter II,h "Co."
in t tic counterfeit there is no lull point.
