LARGE A KM EST OF COUNTERFEITERS AND ItlJRGLARS.

A Conspiracy to Fire the Town.

On last Thursday night, officers Mack, Ensmingor, and Taylor Jones, who for the last three weeks have been on the alert to ferret out a conspiracy to fire the town, succeeded in arresting the entire gang, consisting of Thomas Bastablc, James Unstable, Bartholomew Bastable and Thomas Grady. Some three hundred dollars in counterfeit notes and silver coin were found on their persons. This gang, from the developments that have come to light, had made every arrangement to fire Commercial Block, Craig's Bakery, and Earl's Livery Stable. It is needless to say, that had the villains succeeded it would have well nigh destroyed the business portion of town. Their examination takes place this morning before Ksquiro Pursel. j.y

The rush oi customers at Brown's

Grocery, No. 6, Commercial Block, is a natural consequence of a large and well selected stock—prices below all competition and a gentlemanly attendance upon customers. This establishment has already earned for itself an enviable reputation and it is the firm purpose of the proprietor to maintain it.

•9*Graham Brothers have a splendid stock of Clothing on hand. We'areaseurcd by those who know, that a saving of five dollars can be affected by purchasing a suit. Every jnc should visit Graham's before purchasing elsewhere.7. *-1 "to MFWm. ROBERTSON presented us the other day a couplc of beautiful arm chairs for our sanctum. Mr. R.,. is a genteman, one who appreciates the power of the printing press. Last summer he imported from the east the largest and finest stock of furniture ever brought to tins section of the country. That stock has all been sold put and his cabinet ware rooms are again ready to be filled, as they soon will be, with another magnificent assortment of household furniture due notice of which will be given. In tlie meantime we advise the ladies to wait for the new stocks)': tic

Illinois is Dcmoff^tic-7-Ppugias' el^c^iou is^ecure.jt It gives^us. infinite sa^su^n. to make the announcement as ,a certainty And-so it is decided that a maniinay^bis:n Demoferift' arid differ witli a Dbiiifrcinttic President that ^einc Democrats, we'aire not bound. to cbangc.our pEincip]lc8 at t^ Presidential bidding1, or, to shit tho.eon.ve4 nience of the admiiiislrition, lay down our political and personiil' honor that. bcin| Democrats, wc arc neither bound to clo^e our eyes upon courage, consistency, truth and genius, outside the Wiite House, no* pass their possessor by as if ho were'a Magdalen or a leper- In this clectidri moreover tlie people have spoken, and pub' lie men who pretend to conscience may take heart from what is said, and hope again. Through the ballot-box a great voice says, "Do right by us, and wc will by you. Stand true to .our interests, and fear not—we will remember you. To us, the masses, belongs the power."

By this election, also, tho Democratic party is saved the division that threaten cd it is 110 longer probable a little prudence, and kindness, and toleration, are all that is wanting to restore the old fashioned harmony that made it invincible

The battle was a.great one its noise was heard throughout the Union from it we derive the materials for a just and conservative platform in 1860. Nothing is more certain than that, if the nominee of the Charleston Convention, whoever' he may be, is elected at all, it must lie by virtue of the principles so successfully avow ed by Mr. Douglas throughout his canvass. And for that reason, Douglas wiU be the nominee. We have not time to~ elaborate those principles now.

In the beginning of the fight, the "sharp men" of the Republicans spoke-kindly of the "Little Giant," and eveA paironized him they never doubted that the unnatural war made upon him by the Administration would drive him headlong into their ranks and

at. last they would have gain

ed a hero in fact, and nofc*n effigy of one, like the mule eater of "bumble-bee" memory, and along with a hero, they xrouldihave also acquired brains., The sharp men male ami stake.

During the entire evening the house was surrounded by a'large- crowd of people,, who knew very little about the affair, but discussed it quite warmly for all that. An officer remained in charge of the house during the night, and kept the crowd from entering. We are obliged to him for all the information in his possession, which was'chccrfully given.

Through some misunderstanding, the coroner was not informed of the case until early this morning, when he at oncc proceeded to the spot and held an inquest.

It seems that the girl'of. whom he was in pursuit, had gone to the theatre at the time he was in the hduse.

This event) was only the first act in the drama. It seems that Dillon had another mistress, who.livediin Pine alley, and who went by the name of Annie* Smith, an assumed name.

on THE BROWN BROTHERS,

A remarkable exhibition took pldce'iii our anipitheatre on the last day of the Fair one perhaps never before witnessed atrSriy fair in the Union, and which would liiavc been a noticeable feature at any exhibition in the world. Ten brothers named Brown, all'tine looking fellows, with a strongly marked family likeness, with long flowing beards, dressed in similar apparel and'inoPntcd

tcn-supcrb gray charges,

iVhich they rode in splendid style, entered the amphitheatre arid dashed arOund the arena as gracefully and as fearlessly as a calvacadc of Bedouins chasing a flying foe over the desert. They twined and intertwined in every variety of graceful evolutions. Now in lengthened line, now whirling in intersecting circles, now thundering all abreast in one unbroken line, whose front seemed as impregnable as a Macedonian phalanx, and whose advance was as steady and as imposing as an approaching billow of the ocean. The excitement was intense, unbounded and universal, and the spectators cheercd long and loudly, while showers of boquets rained from the hands of beauty on the gallant horsemen. At the call of the Marshal, they reined up in the presence of their venerable mother, who was looking with tears of joy and pride on her array of gallant sons, and on behalf of the Association, Major N. E. Gray presented her with a goblet, accompanied by some very beautiful, touching, and appropriate remarks. The oldest Brown is aged 40 the youngest 20 years. Their names arc Andrew Jiilien, Absalom, Gravenor S'., Augustus W., Robert S., William, John A. F., Thomas F., Samuel M., Milton D. All but three live, in this county, and all but one in this* State. They are all farmers and trader's, ond steady, thrifty, respectable men. That day was the first time for fifteen years since they had all niet, arid an affecting meeting it was, both to them and to all who beheld it.1

When soon or lato tliisy reach that coast, O'er life's riVbgh ocean driven. II -V- Mnv they.rejoice, no.wanderer lo»t,

,In the following passage from Miss Jewbixry's Three \Histories she avowedly describes.Mrs. Hejnans:

Egeria was totally different from any other woman I had ever seen, either in Italy or England. She did not dazzle she subdued me. Other women might be more, commanding, more versatile, inpre acute, butT never, saw one so exquisitely feminine. Her birth her education, but above.all,, the genius with which she was gifted, combined to inspire a passion for the ethereal, the tender, the imaginative, the heroic-^-in/one wprd, the -beautiful.

TOWER OF TIIE

.PRESS. .:.,l

The Hon. Caleb Cushing, :in his lalo. speech at Richmond, Ya., thus eloquently alluded to the press of the present day: -,v

Most wondorful. I say, is the intellectual and social activity and efficiency of our times. We pcrceivc it in the teeming earth, in the crowded city, on,the burdened seu we pcrceivc it in .the increased productions of society, and,jts fixed monuments we perceive it in our colleges and schools, inthe debates of .the legislative assembly, the courts, the hustings, the pulpit and the lecture-room we pcrceivo it in that, unimaginable fecundity of human thought of which printing is the prompter, the minister and propagator. Take, as exhibitor, aud at the same time as illustrative of this fact, that familiar thing, a newbpaper, a rare.luxury of the rich once, now the necessary of universal daily life, of tho mental life of men as much as food and drink arc of the physical life. How various are the contents of the diurnal sheet how extensive is the knowledge it impart* how vast is tjie field of its action and its usefulness!

Whatever wants there may be in the human breast, it shows how they may bo satisfied. If it be, as Cowper says, "tho herald of a rising world," with ".News from ull nutiont" hunbcrini,' :it liin baek,v so it is the silent monitor of the erring, tho. solace of the sorrowful, the companion of the solitary, and the messenger to all of thought and of reflection. When Shakspcare, with not unlaudablc estimation of his own art, said of playing—"Whose end, both at the first and now, was, and is, to hold as 'twere, the mirror up to nature, to show virtue her own feature, scorn her own image, and the very age and body of the time its form and pressure"—how felicitously, though unknowingly, did he not represent the uses of the newspaper prcsM at the prescut time! Faults it has in ample number and degree, undoubtedly for whatever men do, in their highest as well as her lowest works, testifies to the imperfections of our nature and the press,.with its very short comings, is, indeed, the mirror of each passing day, and, of course, with its wisdom and its folly, its virtues and its vices, and all there is of blended good and evil, of Ormuzd and Ahriman, in the ways of the world. And now tho steam-engine, and the rail-car, and tho ocean-ship, and the telegraph conspired to accumulatc and to diffuse the mass of intelligence in that newspaper sheet! Let us add, as another sign of the advanced state of our society, that the knowledge and scholarship manifested in the columns of the higher class of the newspaper press, whether in Europe or America, are equal now to the famous literary authorship of other times. What a reputation was attained by Junius on account of a few newspaper articles in the London Public Advertiser.' And yet many a leading column of the better journals of England, France, Germany, £!pain. Italy and the United States comes before us day by day, and passes Off without our special, note, and with rib individual fame to its author,though it be higher in composition and .pnrer in spirit than is any thing of- the hand of Junius. .ririi-. j-w,!
