Another Forgery.
After giving vent- to so much indignation
against the Partner AND 1.7::on and other Dem
ocratic newspapers that published the speech
alleged to have been delivered by John M. Wil
son, a “ Lincoln elector” of Massachusetts, one
would naturally suppose that. the ”Sew York Tri~
buneneverpublished anythingagainst Democrats
without. being perfectly sure of its authenticity.
But we have not had to wait. long for the evi
dence that this paper sometimes commits the very
same sort of blunders for which it. undertook
to herate us. Wmmnx KELLY is the Demo
cratic candidate for Governor in the State of
New York, and the Tribune is using every means
to defeat him. In its edition of Thursday last
it published the following secret circular, which
it ancged was being spread over the State by
persons holding confidential relations with Wil~
liam Kelly -:
[PEEP-.1- _r , ~,fl:?§?l.o°t'zlsm'
DEA: 5m : 'We send you herewith copies of a. Bio
gnphied Sketch of the Hon. Wm. Kelly, which we are
anxious to circulate as widely as possible among Repub—
licans and Americans, especially Farmers and Baptists.
Some of the copies are inclosed in envelopes, that you
my “dress them to the less accessible ; while the others
are for distribution among those in your more immediate
neighborhood. In behalf of the State Committee, we
enmeutly request your careful attention to this, and re
main, Youris, truly= SAM. NORTH,
' IL A. WIGHT.
Can you give me the names of some active men in
your district who will take charge of Mr. Kelly’s paste-rs
t 1: the polls?
Please destroy this circular. Yours truly,
B. A. WIGHT, Box No. 7&0, Albany.
Of course the Tribune deems this :3. “base ap
“ peal to sectarian sympathy,” and thinks this
“ expose is not calculated to impress the public
“ favorabiy with regard to the candidate whom
“it isdesigned to serve.” But. the Tribune never
takes the trouble to suggest a. doubt of the gen—
uineness of this secret circular, but gives it to
its readers without hesitation, and probably
without. examination into its truth.
But the Albany Atlas exposes this forgery to
which the Tribune gives the currency of its large
circulation. The Atlas is authorized by Mr.
North, whose name is attached to the circular,
to any that he “never saw or heard of it, and
“never, in any way, authorized its issue, and
“ that it has never been authorized, approved
“or known by the State Committee.” Thus it
appears, by evidence as clear as that against
the authenticity of the Wilson speech, that this
pretended “ secret circular” is a base forgery,
and that the Tribune has assisted in giving cur
rency to a lie. We wonder whether it will dis
play as much virtuous indignation against itself
as it has against others, in reference to the
Wilson speech, and whether it will denounce
the whole Republican party as the party of
fraud and forgery, because it was guilty of at
tempting to impose a gross falsehood upon the
public.
A Very Voracious Correspondent.
The New York Tribune has a correspondent.
in Philadelphia, who occasionally enlightcns
the readers of thatjournnl concerning the poli
tics of Pennsylvania. In a recent letter this
correspondent, after quoting an extract from
Forney’s Press to prove the folly of attempting
to unite the Anti— Lincoln organizations in this
State, discourses in this wise in reference to the
withdrawal of the Straight- out. Douglas electoral
ticket:
The remnining ticket [the Reading ticket] is known
110.1): crowded with Breckim—idge men, for whom the
friends of Douglas will not vote, because these men acuw
their determrumtion, under no circumstances, to go for
omm. lat both wings of the now thoroughly terri—
lied Democracy are fluiming the whale ticket for their

field Earl-fun"? 0f its being elected, counting chickens
from 9533 5° fiddled that one may be sworn they cannot
be hatched. The Withdrawal of the Douglas electors is
either " new attempt, by in'fil‘l‘c'fion, to [use or is (1;.
signed to swell meoln’s majority, ' The 13ft“- with
other hpses, is openly charged on 00L Forney Who’seems
new to he about the worst: abused Imm of 1}“. time in
apitoe of as consistent a. record, ever since he tinned éxil
on Lemmpton, as any man in the party can show 1;“-

but he still lives and flourishes, laughs and grows rm“;
Ilia declaration will be realized, The new fusion with):
averse failure than that attempted on Foster. Thou.
sands of Douglas men will reject in tum this =-’ mongrel
Presidential combination,” either going our to Lincoln.
or not voting at all. Except the Bell ti cket, which still
keeps the field, though of no account. we have thus the
single-handed fight for President which from the first we
had coveted. The challenge being given, we are impn.
tient to close up and begin the tight.
There are some misrepresentations in this
letter which are about upon :1 moral love! with
forgery. The Breckinriclge men on the Reading
electoral fickethave never avowed their deter
mination, under no circumstances, to go for
Douglas. On the contrary, the writer knows,
if he knows anything about. Pennsylvania
yolifics, that every friend of Breckiuridge on
this ticket: was willing to give a pledge to vote
for Douglas in case he should obtain a majority
of the popular vote, to be ascertained by the
method embraced in the Cresson compromise
resolution. This is falsehood number one.
Falsehood number Lwo_is of a piece with its
yrodoceasor. Bath wings of the Democracy are
not how claiming the whole ticket for their own
man. Every friend of Breckinridge in the
39m knows that. the Reading ticket contain-3
a. number of open and avowed Douglas men.
They have never pretended that this was not the
fact. How could they, when no less than twelve
of these Reading electors allowed their .names
to appear upon the Straight-out Douglas ticket?
And yet-,vl‘ight in the face of this fact, this booby
tells the readers of the Tribune that. the Breck
inridge men claim the whole ticket for their OWn
man. '
A correspondent who is so wide of the mark,
when he pretends to state facts, cannot be relied
upon when he attempts to deduce inferences.
He says that the Straight-out Douglas ticketwas
probably “designed to swell Lincoln’s majori
“ ty,” and that “thousands of Douglas men
“ will either go over to Lincoln or not vote at
“ all.” It is highly probable that the thousands
of Douglas men that Forney threatens to array
against the Democratic organization, and who
are only Douglas men in name, may go over to
Lincoln; but if it was the intention of the
Straight-out Committee to swell Lincoln’s ma.—
jority they took a. very queer way of doing it- by
advising the friends of Douglas to vote for the
flooding ticket. ’
The Tribune, which professes to abhor all
sorts of falsehoods, misrepresentations and
forgeries, should instruct its correspondent to
try and come Within, at least, a thousand miles
of the truth when he attempts to furnish infor
mation relative to the politics of this State.
Tm: DUKE or NEWCASTLE on THE ancn’s
Vine—The Philadelphia Press says that the
Duke of Newcastle, speaking on the subject of
the Prince’s visit to this country, to a gentle
man of that city, said:
“I wish it could he stated, upon my author—
ity, that the visit of the Prince of Wales to the
United States cannot have other than the very
best results. Everywhere he has perceived
with what kindness—l might almost say with
what afiection~his mother, the Queen, is re
garded here by all classes, and he has been
deeply touched by the consideration extended
to him upon her account. He has been able to
compare the Conadas with the United States,
and mark how difi'erent institutions have created
different results. Above all, he carries back
with him a sense of strong persoual obligation
for the warmth and kindness of his reception
here, and—for the English are not ungrateful—
this will he shared by all classes at hoiue, who
feel a kindness rendered to their Prince as if
it were rendered to themselves. To be frank
with you, this visit will decidedly make En
gland and America. better and warmer friends
than ever. Should the question of a difference
ever arise, depend upon it, the Prince Will
farnkly protest against it, alleging, in support
of his views, his personal familiarity with the
character and inexhaustible resoueces of a coun
try which rivals England in the arts of peace,
and can summon three million of volunteer
well~disciplined soldiers to fight for her, if the
misfortune of war should arise.”
VICISSITUDns or Rom: AND HER Pores.—
The Papacy is not so near its end as many
hope and expect. It haslsurvived many a. tug
as hard as the present. In 1527 the combined
German and Spanish armies of Charles V.
stormed and sucked Rome, enacting in its
streets the most diabolical cruelties, burning,
torturing, robbing. ravishing and destroying
for ten days. Some 6,000 of the inhabitants
perished, 10,000,000 crowns of plunder were
collected, and Pope Clement VII. paid 400,000
ducnts for his own ransom. Luther thought
that. the end of Rome had come. But it. has
survived and recovered. Sixty years ago it.
was in the hands of Napoleon, who seemed to
hesitate whether to crush it or not. In 18:20,
1831 and 1848 it was a. prey to revolution, Ga
ribaldi himself, at. the last date, expelling the
Pope, who escaped in the disguise of a footman
on a. coach box. A republican government
was then established, but another year saw
him back again, and now he looks for support
from the despotisms which would themselves
tremble at his fall. His temporal dominion
may be even now at an end, but that dominion
is really his weakness, and not his strength;
and when he is well rid of it he will reign as
head of the Roman Catholics with more sub
stantial influence than for a long time past.—
English Paper.
Ax Anvnxrunous Yovrn.—We have heard
of a little fellow in this city. only seven years
old, very bright and intelligent, who seems to
have a passion for traveling about the country
on his own account. Once he had been as far
as Castleton, Vt., and on another occasion up
to Manchester, all alone and unattended. The
other day, during the Fire Department parade,
he took it into his head to go to Philadelphia.
Secreting himself in a box on the Skiddy, he
Went down to New York, and would have gone
on toPhiladelphin hndhe not been discovered by
a. friend of the family, who telegraphed up to
the city, and was requested to bring the little
truant home. Since that time he has been
kept on an allowance of bread and water. Be
sides being a. traveler, the little fellow is a
genius. He will map out lines of railroads and
rivers over which he has traveled, locating cities
and villages with great accuracy, and other
wise manifesting decided topographical skill.
Music seems to overpower him, and it is. only
on the occasion of some public demonstration,
when musxc forms a prominent feature, that he
manifests a, desire to go away—Troy Times.
Tnmms Mamie—He wasa. very well-dressed,
bright, sparkling-looking little man. It is a.
disenchanting phrase to apply to asentimental
poet; but I must say, in his general appearance,
there wnszsomcthing that very nearly approxi.
mated to what is now denominated as “jolly.”
He had a. dark and most vivacious eye, hair of
the same color, and in suflicient abundance,
glossy, and nicely arranged ; a broad, comman
ding foretead; a complexion fresh, clear, and
ruddy ; small, but well defined features; a.
mouth that. seemed made alone for mirth and
brimming smiles; an extraordinary play and
expression of countenance, whose changeful
variety yet over betrayed the genius within;
a. quick, brisk, active, gait; a merry, joyous
laugh ; and the generally dili'nsed impress of a.
happy, easy, heatthy man—one contented quite
with the lot he had in iifc,and in perfect amity
and peace with those about. him. Such was the
aspect Moore presented when I first saw him.

THE NEW YORK POST-OFFICE DEFALGATION.——~ !
It will be remembered, a Commissioner was
appointed to proceed to Havana, for the pur~
pose of obtaining the testimony of Mr. I. V.
Fowler, late Postmaster of New York, in the
case now pending between the United States
and his sureites or bondsmen. That Commis
sioner has returned with the answers to the
interrogatories. The substance of this state
ment is, that Mr. Fowler was first appointed
Postmaster of New York, by President Pierce
in 1853. He was again appointed Postmaster
in 1858, he forwarded to the department, in
September of that year, a. bond, in the sum of
$75,000, by Messrs. Law and Conover.
In requesting Mr. Conover to become his
surety, he mentioned the names of Messrs.
Law and Charlick, and in requesting the name
of Mr. Law he mentioned those of Messrs.
Charlick and Conover. Owing to the absence
of Mr. Charlick from the city, his signature
was not aflixed when the others signed, and the
bond was forwarded to Washington, with only
the names of Fowler, Law and Conover at
tached, opposite three seals, having a blank
space opposite the fourth seal. This premature
delivery was entirely unauthorized by Messrs.
Law and Conover, and it would appear that
these gentlemen were kept in ignorance of the
incompleteness of the bond until the fact was
disclosed to them after the defolcation.
Mr. Fowler seems to have considered the
bond a mere matter of form, for, he says, “I
did not think my sureties would ever he called
upon, as I consideres I had property and inte
rests more than enough to pay my obligations,
and knowing that the bond complied with the
requirements of the law, I sent it forward.”
Mr. Fowler is a. lawyer, and yet he distinctly
asserts that this bond complied with the re
quirements of the law. His sureties seemed
to consider the matter in a different light, for,
being called upon to pay the penalty, they re
fuse, because, as they allege, there was afraud
in the execution of the bond.
Wonnx’s vannmox.——The Semaphore of
Marseilles relates the following somewhat amn
sing incident which is said to have occurred
at the ball. given to their Majesties at the Cha
teau Boreli. “At the moment when the doors
were opened, two ladies, accompanied by two
gentlemen, and duly provided with tickets,
presented themselves for admission. The 121-
dies Were elegantly attired in white dresses and
handsome ornaments, but unfortunately they
had not conformed to the established etiquette,
so far as regarded their head~dresses, for they
wore bonnets. These appendages were, it is
true, of the most light and elegant kind; and
ornamented with marabont feathers ; but they
were considered, notwithstanding. inadmissa
ble. The stewards at the door expressed their
regret in the politest terms, but as their in
structions were positive on the subject, they
could not allow themselves to be softened by
the entreaties of the ladies, who retired in
great dismay. An old proverb says that when
a woman determines on doing a thing nothing
can prevent her; so it was in this case. The
ladies, inspired with a. sudden idea, went in
among some trees that were growing near, and
taking ofi‘ the objectionable article of dress,
deepoiled them of the feathers, which they
speedily transferred to their own hair. The
question next arose what should they do with
their bonnets, which were too pretty to throw
away. Feminine invention here again come
to their aid, for, lifting their ample crinoline,
they safely attached the discarded headdresses
within their ample folds, where they were
complete] y unobserved. Thus newly equipped,
they presented themselves and were duly ad
mitted.”
ENCOUNTER BETWEEN Cows AND Geese—We
cut the following from the West Highland (C.
W.) Journal of September 29th: On Thursday
afternoon, a. flock of about twenty geese, be
longing to Mr. F. ‘Hogg, farmer, Blyth, wan
dered from the Links, where they usually feed,
into a field near Crofton, where four cows were
grazing. The cows on seeing them bellowed
furiously, and presently setting themselves
shoulder (20 Shoulder, like soldiers, they made
a. run at. the geese. This they repeated several
times, when one of the geese getting detached
from the flock, was run upon by the cows, one
of which caught it upon its horns and tossed
it up in the air. After it fell the four cows set
upon it and killed it. By this time an alarm
was given to some persons who had witnessed
the strange scene,. and two men went to the
rescue with a. dog. While driving the geese
out of the field the cows again gave chase after
the (log, men and geese, and it: was with some
difficulty that they got clear ofi'.
REMARKABLE ESCArn.—As Mr. M. Mei-win,
of Durham, in this State, was crossing the
Susquehanna river, at Oreonto, otsego county,
New York, with nearly 300 head of cattle—
some of them heavy fat oxen—about forty feet
of the bridge gave way, on which were nearly
sixty head, and fell with a tremendous crash a
distance of about sixteen feet. Some 30 of the
cattle were so firmly entangled in the ruins,
that it was fifteen or twenty minutes before the
first could be extricated ; but, singular to relate,
only one animal was injured, and that one not
so much as to prevent his driving. Mr. M.
was on horseback, and so near across, that at
the noise of the crash, the horse sprang, and
just saved himself and rider from going down as
the bridge gave way, at the spot from which
they sprang. The inhabitants of the village
near by, rushed to the scene, and were aston
ished to find so little harm done. Mr. H. is
indebted to them for their prompt assistance.

ENGLISH NOBELMEN WHO HAVE MARRIED
AMERICAN Bums—More American ladies have
married English noblemen than is generally
supposed. The most remarkable instance was
that. of the three daughters of Richard Caton,
Esq., of Baltimore, grand-daughters of Charles
Carroll, of Carrollton, who were sent to England
to be educated, and each of whom “ knocked
down her peer.” They married the Marquis
Wellcsley, Lord Stafl‘ord, and the Duke of Leeds.
The Duchess Dowager of Leeds is the oniy sur
vivor of -the sisters, and their husbands are
also dead.
Besides these, the first Lord Ashburton mar
ried the daughter of the Hon. William Bingham.
of Philadelphia, by whom he left a large funk
ily. The eldest, William Bingham Baring, the
present. Lord Ashburton, held high office, and
is very influential, as well from his abilities as
his great wealth. The second Lord Erskine,
(son of the Chancellor.) married the accomo
plished daughter of General Cadwallader, of
Philadelphia, where the presentpeer was born,
and named, in honor of the country of his
birth, Thoma-s American Erskine.
Kmomnc. W 001) ror. Lerner—All the kind—
ling wood for London is out. and bundled at
Deptford. The wood comes from Norway,
Sweden and Russia, and is brought over in
lengths to avoid duty. The piles of it at Dept
ford cover acres. It. is prepared in long sheds
divided into compartments about 10 feet wide,
in each of which a man, women and three
children work—the man cutting with a common
wood saw, the largest child dexterously split—
ting with n cleaver, the younger gathering up
the splints, and handing to the woman, who
bundles them with great rapidity. Each
apartment will average 1,000 bundles a day,
for which they get $l.BO, and this is aboutthe
best wages earned in England by persons of
this class. About 625 persons are thus
employed, puttinglup 30,000,000 bundles in a
year, which 300 persons are employed distri
buting from wagons, and which amount to, 111'

J UDGE LYNCH IN Nnnnnsxn.—-The Omaha
Nebraskian of the 17th has an account of the
arrest of three men charged with horse steal—
ing. and their incarceration in the jail at Coun
cil Blufi‘s. This was on the 13th. 0n the 16th
they were taken out by a. mob and one of the
number, Philip McGuire, hung without the for
mality of atrial. The others are missing still.
A rumor prevailed that one of the missing men
had made a confession of crimes committed, in
which several suspicious characters were im—
plicated. The feeling is rather favorable to
further trials by Judge Lynch than to the law,
owing to an alleged inefficiency of the officers
whose duty it is to execute the commands of
the law.
CATHOLC PRIEST Mommas» AND ROBBED.—
The Clarksville Jeffersom‘an says that there has
been a report in that. place for several days,
which seems to obtain a. general credence, that
the Rev. Mr. Moshell, a. Catholic priest, who
has been stationed in that vicinity for the past
year, was brutally murdered in Stewart county,
Tennessee, one day last week, and robbed. It
is further stated that the murderers, of whom
there were three, sold his mule, which led to
the discovery of the murder and the arrest of
one or more of the wretches who perpetrated
the crime.
Tuner: DAr'Vrsm's Tun STYLE—AII visits to
the palace of the Queen of England are rc~
striated, by custom, to three days—the first day
for the arrival, the second for the reception,
and the last for the departure. The Prince of
Wales has rightly observed this practice in his
tour through the United States, never stopping
more than three days in any place, unless Sun
day intervened. Many families would rejoice
to have this fashion introduced into the United
States.
Census or VERMOXT.——Suflicient returns of
the late census have been received to show that
the population of Vermont has decreased since
the census of 1850. In four counties the losses
amount to 4,413, and in two other counties the
gains are 3,443, showing a. real loss of about a
thousand. The total loss of the State, it is
thought, may be four or five thousand. This
is, we believe, the first instance in the history
of the country where the population of at State
has receded in the course of ten years.
INTERNATIONAL (Exxon—The Hon. Mr.
Lindsay, the English financier, made a speech
at a. meeting of the Chicogo board of trade on
Wednesday lost. He pledges his earnest nd
vocacy at home in favor of unrestricted inter
national trode, and urged upon those present
the representatives of the grain mart, almost
of the world—the memoralization of Congress
in favor of the same policy. He was frequently
applauded, and deeply interested and pleased
his auditory. '
GREAT Hnnmne CATCIL—The boats ofi~ the
Scituote cliffs are making great hauls of the
above fish. Some have caught more in one
night than they have been able to bring in
snfely. They sell at about forty cents per hun
dred untouched, or at sixty cents “ gilled," and
it is not uncommon for one boat to catch from
'six to ten thousand per night. This would seem
to be a. paying -business.—-Ifinglmm (Mat-3.)

BLACKS AND Mum-noss.——According to the
census of 1860, 2,957,657 of the slaves of the
United States were blacks, or of unmixed Af
rican descent, and 246,656 were mulattoes.——
The mulattoes of the United States are about
one-eighth as numerous as the blacks—the free
mulattoes are more than halflhe humber of the
free blacks, whilst the slave mulattoes are
anly about. one-twelfth of the slave blacks.
THE AMERICAN FEMALE SCUL]‘TOR.—AmOng
those at the ball given to the Prince in Boston

he informed her that her statue of Puck still
adorned his rooms at Oxford.

he distinguished himself for his bravery.
