Jtfmv OBi.ri.xa. Deo. 28.—You Ijave
)seforp tliis (lute hail hoiud tidings of the
yig.uitic uc'heinc of forgery which eonkin-
pjftteil an isxuo of bogus warrants of the
State of Mississippi. IiHto revelations
have inn-'e it clear that not Mississippi
warrants alone were to be lbrged, but
that thero were to be siuiaKunconsly is-
sued ou the States of Alabama, Arkansas,
Jjonisiaua and Texas ft* well, bogtj*, or
faised warrants to t3*o amount of *u,000,
WOO in all. The organization VhieU biul
tfeia plan in hand was most complete. Its
agents were in every State, including one
h your ov:n city, and ky a complicated
■fcystera of pass words, ciphers and aliases,
tjiosoc'r(jCy«Hliis w*ork was nltnoMimpene-
trable. li c wlw'.o was finally unearthed
tMtdnirow tnp.do public by the skill of
Capfc, Hell, noting Private Secretary to
the Governor of Mississippi. Jn Septem-
ber Inst Bell was requested by the <Jov-
ernor to uiake an investigation in the
matter of certain raised warrants of tho
Bftite which, had been offered atthc Jack-
Ron bank, and thereupon began the search
which has ended iit criminating parties of
high social standing in this ami other
cities, and has roused a breeze that will
not soon be forgotten. Coming to New
Orleans, Hell, after a prolonged inquiry,
learned that a quartermaster of the Vim-
well lino of steamers, had offered several
of the suspected warrants to a broker in
Camp street. Certain facts led Captain
Bell to thb belief that a citizen of Jackson,
Miss., who has various aliases, and was
implicated in the great Cunningham for-
gery, you will remember us occurring in
August Inst, laid some hand in this now
work, and he visited Jackson to verify
liis suspicious. Meanwhile a woman, a
known intimate of tho quartermaster,
was arrested jji Camp street, where sho
Mas endeavoring to dispose of oim of the
forged warrants. This woman, as after-
wards appeared, was a mere decoy, depu-
ted to blind the scaivh and give, to tho
"ring" some tiding of its enemies' move-
ments. Accordingly she made to Captain
Bell a partial 6>nfession of the schcme,
with just enough truth iti it to make tho
deception nioro perfect. Iler charac-
ter as spy was understood from thobogin-
liing, and as slio watched site was herself
watched in turn, and thus was the uncons-
cious channel of most valuable inforina-
sion
from
The woman warned him at
fcitfty miles below the city, and tho, JaMc
son citizen took him otf. And now onu
scheme was given up by tho conspirators*
tor another. Tho woman arranged a
meeting between Captain Ho'l and tho
quartermaster, at which tho latter confess-
ed to tho contemplated forgery of £."5,000,-
000 aforementioned, and detailed a process
wherein by use of a certain liquid tho
written portions of a warrant for $( were
erased aud the blank filled to any desired
amount. Tho palimpsest was tlnisgonuino
paper, seal and signatures, and therotore
was a most dangerous forgery. The quar-
termaster m: 'riled that some $80,000 of
these? xv' 1 v.:-.mints were prepared, and
promisui Jiat ;liey should bo torthcoai-
ing. J veil permitted him to go with tho
womau to New York to obtain that amount
from the dopositry there, and he returned
early in November with £10,000 of them,
alleging that the balance ($10,000) had
been withdrawn by another of tho band
aud was out of his reach. It has sinco
been discovered that thero wore in all
$100,000 of these raised warrants, and
that $80,000 instead of $10 000 had been
reserved by the forgers, tho quartermas-
ter acting throughout in concert with
them, and choosing the partial surrender
of tho warrants as the most profitable ac-
tion under tho circumstances. This in-
deed was confessed by tho woman* Con-
cerning tho missing $10,000, (in reality
$80,000) nothing was heard for a time,
until, a warrrant for $500, raised
from $0, was offered at a broker's office in
Broad street, New York, on December 3d.
Telegraphing to Jackson to learn tho vnl-
euof warrant 3,324, the forgery was at
once discovered by the firm, aud by Cap-
tain Bell at tho latter place. Ho tele-
graphed to Colonel Whitley, Chief of tho
(Tinted States Secret Service, to arrest
tho quartermaster. The woman, who fan-
cied herself secure, was also arrested here,
and most valuablepapers which implicate
a number of prominent citizens found in
her possession. An interview with tho
citizen of Jackson was had ; and he learn-
ing of the quartermaster's capture promis-
ed information that should lead to tho
discovery of tho missing $80,000. This
promise he did not tullil, and was arres-
ted on the Ulhl of December. Another
person, a resident of this city, suspected
to bo tne penman of tho raised warrants
was also arrested, and tho two are iu jail
at Jackson to be shortly examined ou tho
charge of forgery.

A London uetoctive put his head into an
omnibus one ib> just as it wasstarting oil*
with the remark, '•Passengers willdowell
to look out for their pocket-books. There
are two members oi the swell mob in this
bus." Thereupon a grave-looking old gen-
tleman, with eye-glasses and a golden-
headed cane, hastily got out, saying,"if
that's the case, T won't go in this bus."
lie was fallowed by a clerical-Iookhiggeu-
tleman, with a white choker, who re-
marked that he "wouldn't rule in such
company." And then tho detective clos-
ed tho door and said to the driver, "All
rightj drive on, they've got out."
• Frozen to Death.—a man named
Henry Iixley was frozen to death in Clar-
ion county, Pennsylvania, on Sunday
night, January 10. The Evening Herald,
Philadelphia, says: Ho was working at
tho platiing-mill at Helen furnace, and had
ffone to Snydersberg on Sunday, whore, j
ndulged in beer, etc., and started home in
the evening with two bottles of whisky. |
The night was exceedingly cold, Ho was
found tho next morning, within a mile of
home, frozen to death. Both bottles were
lou;;d in his p rckets. |

A MtMS'irn AND IIIK FAMILY I'ltOZEN
jl'o Death.—One of the most heartrending
, eases of loss of life by freezing, occurred
: last week, about four mil s northwest of
j Granger, in this county. It happened
that ou Tuesday, tho day the great storm
began, Mr. Kvans, a \\ c-h h minister of
tho Gospel, was away fVoiu homo with
liis wife and two children* On his return
ill the evening, tho storm overtook him,
j and, it appears, when within tlirce-quar-
I tors of a,mile of ^is own house, a snow-
drift stopped further progress in that
'direction. Irorn the indications, it is
suppose!1, he took his oldest child out of
the f.Vtter, and carried it home, after which,
, tt*'aing a couple of blankets, he returned
' to the cutter, wrapped his frail wife in tho
1 blankets, and, carrying his babo, started
j for the house again, but never reached it.
Iti the violent storm he lost his way, and
with his babo perished. Meanwhile, the
! child that bad been carried home was
! waiting iu the cold for the return of its
1 father; tho anxious wife was waiting in
• tho cutter for her husband. Who can
' describe her agony and the little one's
terrible suspense. It is all left to conjec-
ture. When the neighbors called at the
house the Saturday following, it had but
| a solitary little frozen occupant; the wife
' and mother was found a stiffened corpse ;
thehi rse had ulsosucc.imbcd to theraging
' storm. How and where the unfortunate
! husband and babo were found we are not
t definitely Imormed ■ —[Ex.
One James McCrory, on December 24th,
without apparent cause, shot Charles Al-
ien, with whom he had been on intimate
terms. Allen was hit five times. McCrory
ran, but was followed by the Deputy
Sheriff and citizens, and arrested. On tho
j wrty to the jail a crowd took the murdcr-
jerl'rom tho Sheriff twice, with the inteu-
' tion of hanging him. but the officers re-
j captured their prisoner, and finally lodged
; him iu the county jail. The crowd ofciti-
I zona increased, and became more mid
[ mote,determined, overpowered the sheriff
and his deputies, broke open tho jail
dotfrs, took McCrory out, dragged him to
Court street bridge with a rope around
his neck, tied one end of tho rope to a
I railing, and throw McCrory over the rail,
i where he hung dangling in tho air until
lito departed. Allen died about tho same
j time his 'murderer was swung from tho
i bridge. McCrory was a desperado, and
| had previously assassinated five or six
persons near Yisalia, where summary
justice was at last meted out to him.—

SMITH'S TONIC S YM F
FOR THE CURE OF
AGUE AND PE VER,
ob chills fever.
The proprietor of.tlii i colebrtitod inodicine just
Jy clniuia for It a pupericrity over all reniodius ov-
er offered to the public, for the sate, certain, spee-
dy and permanent euro of Akud and Fever, or
Cliiilw and Fever, whether of Nhort or Ion*' stand-
ing. He refers to the entire Western anil SoutU-
ern country to hear him testimony to tho truth ot
the assertion, that inno case whatever will it jail
to cure if the directions are strictly followed anil
carried out. In a great many oases a single closo
has been sullictut for a cure, and whole families,
have been cured by a single bottle, with a perfect
restoration of the general health. It in, however,
prudent, and iu every ease more certain to cure,
if its use is continued in snitller dimes for a week
or two after the disease has been checked, more
especially in difficult and long-standing cases.—
Usually this medicine will not require any aid to
keep tile bowels in pood order. Should tho pa-
tient. however, require a cathario medicine, alter
luiviug taken three or four ilw s of the tonic, a
single dose of Hull's Vegetable Family l'ills will
bo sufficient.

Broadway Church, Louisville Ky.
Louisville, Ky., Oct. 8 1808.
Dk. John* Bun.—Dear Sir.—Many thanks to
you for tbo medicine you liavo so kindly given
inc. I have been a great suifetor for years, and
hud the advice of various physlciaus. Borne pro-
nonnced my spinV-. some my lungs, aud some my
lieart vo bo*ties scat, of my disown. I have been
burnt, bli^'ered and oupi'-'l until I hail become
dishoarUsr•«!. Several very eminent physicians
who examined my spine informal me link I was
threatened with paralysis or apoplexy any day,
anil that nothing but a seton would frelieve rue.
I hail a perfect horror of that, and was hesitating
about having one inserted, when yon kindly sent
me your Saisaiiarilla which I immediately begun
to take three tunes a day. I had sutiered terribly
with a most acute pain in tho right side of my
head, especially when I would read or write for
any length of time, anil on rising to my feet I
would be perfectly blind for several minutes, anil
would have to hold to something to prevent fall-
ing.
I am most happy to inform yon that th<> pain in
my lead is entirely relieved; I suffer but seldom
with my spine, and (hen wot so acutely. My ap-
7w tO« is good; inilei >1 for tho first time in my life
