bretaxseot.ta, May 24th.—A considera
ble excitement was caused in this city this
afternoon; by the diseoveryofatt enormous
freed aeon the State of Indians to the
atanuntofnear -one million two hundred
thousand doThers,- by one of her former
agents. The facts, as near as we can learn
them, ste as follows :
Previous to February, 1859, the Auditor
and Treasurer of this State were in the
habit of signing and entrusting State bonds
to the agent of the State, who has an office
in street, New York, and it is now as
certained that Mr. it. C. Stover. as the
elerk of Hon. John A. ervens, agent of
the State, issued over twelve imoilred thou
sand dollars of frnitilitleiii au I spa :on-4 five
per cent. stocks. Mr. Craven-,
.held the
office but a short time, not overt o months.
and resined.
.thiv. Willard at mit.e tip.
pointed Mr. Stover agent of the
had control of the office all the time. eit itet
as clerk or principal.
It is thought that Mr. Stover continued
to issue the bonds from blanks still in his
possession during his entire term of MEN.,
dating them back to Craven's term. in or
de:4o-00;d an act passed. in l'obrunr . .
1859, requiring them, in 'ease of trans
fers, to be registered in the State Audi
tor'd office, as well as to secure his own
bonds Men. They are all signed J. A.
Cravetat; by D. C. Stover, clerk. Mr.
Cravens was notaware of these frauds un
til.. within a few days. They were first]
dissevered by Colonel R. N. Iludson, the
agent, some months since, when they
were presented for the payment of in
terest. He immediately communicated
the fact to Governor Morton, who at once
proceeded to New - York, where he had an
interview with Hon. Daniel S. I)ickinson,
Attorney General of that State, and A.
Oakley Hall, the District Attorney. The
Governor insisted upon the arrest of the
parties, but Messrs. Hall and Dickinson
argued that it would have a bad effect
un the State as well as National finances,
and they thought they could get the par
ties to take up the paper. The guilty par
ties informed the District Attorney that
there was not three hundred thousand dol
len out, and that they would redeem them
at the rate of twenty-five thousand dollars
per - week. This had been carried -out till
over seven hundred thousand had been
redeemed, and they now confess that there
iiaatin ihalf million yet outstanding. The
matter leaked out in New York, and was
in the New York papers of yesterday.
Mr. Stover's accomplices are two well
known Well street bankers.
Gov. Morton, who is with lialleck's ar
my, was notified of this yesterday, and Un
wed** telegraphed to the Attorney
Cleiersl and one of the Loan Commis
sioners, to proceed to New York and as
sist iR the prosecution of the guilty parties,
*hick wilt be done without delay.
These use parties have a bank in op
oration at Belihrille i New Jersey. Mr. Sto
ver is its President.

Indiana, being coupon bonds, have no

OB.& HUM&
year of his age. He was a native ol*West
moreland County, and a man of ability and
great force of character. He filled with
credit various important public positions.
He served with diStinction in the MeXicart
war as Lieutenant in the New York
Regiment. The exposures of this service
probably induced the diseases which finally
terminate I his existence. At the close of
the war he was elected Register and Re
corder of Westmoreland County, and af
terwards re-elected for a second term.—
Under the administration of Gov. Bigler
he held the office of Adjutant General of
Pennsylvania. This position he resigned
on his appointment .by President Pierce,to
the Consulate of Kong Kong. in
He has been abroad titer since, with the;
exception of a short visit to his home
Anna three years ago. After his return
to China, he suffered at times very much
from what seemed to be a return of* m a l s •
dies with which he had been afflicted in
Mexico; and though he was naturally of
a powerful .physical organization, these.
aggravated by the severity of the climate.
wore him down rapidly, and for a year
past his health was very bad. He left for
home, with his family, about four months
since ? and ,landed in New York on the
16th instant in a state of utter exhaustion,
and survived but six days longer. His re
mains were taken to Greensburgh and in•
terred there on Sunday last, being attend
ed to their last resting place by a large
concourse of people. He leaves a widow
and two young children.
General Keenan was a very active and
influential citizen, and had a great many
warm personal friends. He was of an ar
dent temperament, zealous in sustaining
those whose cause he espoused, and pos
sessed in a strong degree the faculty of it
taching men to him. Many illustrations
might be given of this. During the early
part of his consular term, he was placed
m a very trying position by a conflict with
the British Colonial authorities on nectuint
of the assumption by thent of what he
deemed an intolerable control over Amer
ican vessels, and their officers and crews,
in the Hong Kong district. The decided
,position taken by him, and his bold and
fearless conduct in sustaining it. compell
ed the authorities to back square down and
abandon entirely thereafter any attempt
to exercise the:power which. to the great
annoyance of Americans they haul alWayS
previously claimed and exercised. The
characteristics he showed in this case and
his liberality to, and adyocacy ot. his
countrymen abroad male Sim hosts of de
voted friends among the officers of our
naval and mercantile marine, and Ameri
cans traveling to China. His early death
will create sadness in many hearts.
Gen. Franz Sigel.
This accomplished officer arrived here
from the West yesterday afternoon and
proceeded to Washington City by the next
train. He goes to make necessary arrange
ments for taking his new command. He
was welcomed at the depot by many of our
citizens. and in obedience to a call from
some of his German fellow:citizens, came
out on the platform and made an apology,
stating that he demired no ovation and was
no speech-maker; he could only speak
with the cannon and write with his sword
in men's blood. file shook hands cor
dially With all who came forward for the
purpose.
Pittsburgh Printer Dead.
Thomas Scanlon, Corporal in the Friend
Rides, who was badly wounded in the hat
tle of Williamsburg, died in the 'hospital
at that place last week. Deceased was
printer, and was prior to his enlistment
employed in this office for several years.
He was an estimable young man, and his
early death will be a source of deep regret
to many, even though he died in a glorious
cause.
Another Plttobarnher Gone.
A letter received yesterday from Capt.
F. C. O'Brien's company, of this city,
states that Sergeant Scott. C. McDowell,
of the same company, was killed in a
skirmish at Tutnall's Station, near Rich-
mond, Virginia. Young 'McDowell was.
it will be remembered, so severely burned
at a fire on Pennsylvania Avenue, two
years ago, that for a long time he lingered
between life and death and reeovered only
to die in a noble cause.
Allotment Money.
John Harper, Esq•, Cashier of the Bank
of Pittsburgh, is in receipt of copies of
allotment rolls for companies E. and
Captains James Ni Hoosey and William
S. Jack, 78th Regiment Pennsylvania
Volunteers, Col. William Sirwell, accom
panied by $6589 20 fordistribution. Per
sons to whom this money is allotted will
receive it by calling at the Bank of Pitts
burgh with satisfactory • evidence of their

Sergeant Fulton.
Although a military order prevents, for
the present, the transportation of the bodies
of soldiers on government vessels from
Yorktown. Dr. Jonas R. M' Clintock, who
visited the battle-field at Williamsburg and
recovered the body of his nephew, Ser
geant John M. Fulton, who was killed
there, had it placed in a metallic case,
hermetically sealed and transported to
Yorktown for transmission to Baltimore
by private vessel. The body will be
brought home to this city during the pres
ent week.

teemed of late called the ILLUSION PARTING.
and my mode of inserting the same in Nip' and

It gives them a light and life-like appear
ance hitherto unattained • I have also just re

best French Hair, purchased for cash, and MY
motto is nick sales and small

CAMERON'S EXTRACT OF FLOWERS, or
Botanic Cream, for softening and beautifying the
hair, is too well known to need comment. Also
my new HAIR WASH for familv use: it prevents
the hair from falling out and getting prematurely

such complaints every spring: 'felt in the mein'
ins a most severe pain in the back. as if the lower
oints of the spine were broken or bruised, and an
asthmatic pressure on the chest, Owing to my oc
cupation which keeps me 'sir day busy out of
doors. and entirely distrusting any so called"regn

my house. I thought of following a plan of my
own, which might cure me without the inconveni

• "regular prectitioper." So I put an Alleoeles
Mater right over the groin, renewing it every.

I worked, ate and drank as I was wont, illicit most
