and a plate of the fall fashions. It also contains two
ages of music, "Our friends of old."

As he passed by rrc, with his upper lip stuck full of

CONFESSION OF YOUNG SAUNDERS
Mr. Wilmerding, of the firm of Austen-. Wilmerding,
-• Co. started fur 13oston on Friday evening„ and had
aterview on Saturday with young Saunders at the
- ctt street prison in that city. Oit his entering
11 Saunders seemed no way disconeetted, but
- hold of Mr. W.'s hand awl appeared delighted
him. He felt that he was beside one who had
*riend to him, and on whom he could still lean,
...i.standing his betrayal of trust, and the deep
• g uilt which had placed him in the fearful position he
then occupied.
On being questioned. Saunders repeated the old
story that no person had been concerned with him in
forgeries—that the money had been lost in the East
i •River,&/_!. He then went on to give a history of hi s
L' - .ffight, and stattxl that he "had been very unfortunate,
it seemed as if providence itself had determined to
so him." lie paid $lO5 for his passage in the
but arrived at the wharf a minute or two al
had started. Not being able to get on board
, he m vie for the Boston boat, but she also start
tas he reached the wharf. He then went to
bany boat, and was within a second of losinf ,
also, but succeeded in getting on board. At Al.
y he missed the ferry boat which carries passen
-1. 'gars across the river to Orcenbush, for the train of the
ostern Railroad, and he was compelled to hire a pri
conveyance to get across, and it was only by the
t possible exertion he succeeded in reaching the
in season. At Boston, he made acquaintance with
or two lads, rather titan men, as he thought it
, dbe more safe,and it was necessary to have some
person to show him the way to the packets. He paid
$3O for passage to New Orleans. The vessel was
ready to start at the moment, but the wind set
in ahead, andhe was detained. He then carried the
lads to the Museum, which createdsuspicion and led to
1;: his arrest. He says that after he found that he had
l* missed the Western, his heart died within him, and he
at once ga:e up alias lost; and what transpired to him
after that time appears more like a dream than any
thil. V e l lse il . merding was not satisfied with his story as
being the forger himself and ache money being lost
the river, and pressed him still more closely to tell.
fiefinally made a full and free confession—stated that
The had a confederate, and that the forger lil was a young
.: Frene.hman of his acquaintance named Ragee,residin Er,
at No, $2 Canal street, and that Illovi-ee had nearly all
the money. Mr. W. had intended remaining inn Bes
ton for 3 or 4 days. but after receiviug this intelligence
of course took the cars immediately on his return, and
arrived there the next morning. Ile forthwith repair
ed to the police office, but had the satisfaction of learn
ing that the forger had been arrested, and the money
was in safe hands, $2.1,000 of it having been secured;
which with the V2loo found on Saunders, makes the
-;i, whole sum taken, lackinr , a little less than $3OOO.
lia'lt appears that the Spanish authorities ofCitba
have been in the habit of treating the American tiag and
American citizens with contumely and disrespect. No
, wonder; they caa insult us safely. They can't do it
with the English or French.--,Thi/a,

Persons politically obnoxious, have been dragged from

the consideration of my fellows iti.Lens for the office of
County Commissioner. That my sentiments may nut
be misunderstood, either as to political or private
affairs, I make free to say that I have been all my life
a consistent Republican, in the true sense of the word.
As the country is somewhat embarrassed in its finan
cial affairs, and the reduction of salaries of public
officers has received the approbation of large majori
ties of the people, the undersigned would not should
he be so fortunate as to be elected, in any manner at
tempt to resist this salutary reform; should it reach
the office of County Commissioner.
