A GANG @F COUNTERFEITERS CAPTURED BY ORDER OF COL. BAKER. Within the past few months, a vast number | of fifty cent stamps nave been put in circula- | tion, which were good copies of the genuine. in order to discover the gang engaged in this nefarious business, by which thousands, prin- cipally of the poorer classes, have been vic- umized, Col. Baker, chief of the National De- tective Police at Washington, set about to give the criminals a local habitation and a name, and eventually a place in the State prison. The zeal of his own force rendered them so Well known among thieves in general that he was led to select Messrs. James A. McDevitt and John A. W Clarvoe, of Saperintendent Webb's corps ot detectives in Washington; and these young officers soon proved themselves equal to the important and difficult task set before them Acting under the instructions of Col. Baker, they soon discovered thatan im- mense number of bogus fifty cent stamps were in cireulation in the State of New Jersey, and further search showed that they were offered | and passed in large numbers along the line of the Erie railroad. After working up the case, they traced the principal issue of the notes to Patterson. N. J., and as they were about pro- ceeding to hunt up the counterfeiters, they be- came frightened, and removed the press and plates to Port Jarvis. The officers then repaired to Port Jervis, and after further efforts, they found that the notes were printed im the house of A. ©. Marvin, a brakeman on the Erie road, rooms of Marvin they discovered several ofthe parties engaged in printing the notes on asmall press, and in placing bronze onthem. The of- licers then arrested a man named Robinson, Who confessed that he had engraved the plates. He stated that he commenced the work a day After he had been reteased from Trenton jail, Where he had served a term for counteffeiting. In the room there was a man named Alexan- der, who had come from the West to bay the first lot of notes, engaged in learning the art of printing them. so as to be able, perhaps, to start 4 similar establishment «on his own hook,” in Kalamazoo, Michigan, where he hails from. ‘Two women,named Jennie Marvin and Fannie Storme, both etsters of Marvin, were occupied in brashing bronze on the notes after Robinson had printed them. All the parties were ar- rested ond are now in custody, with the ex- ception of Alexander, who succeeded in pro- curing bail. The plates, presses, bronze, bank paper, and notes, were then captured by the officers, who found $40,000 of the counterfeit currency in fifty-cent stamps, rolled up im bundles, in the room. The plates are accurately executed. One is on steel and the other on cepper—the latter being the indersement of the fifty-cent stamp. The previous issues of counterfeit fifty-cent stamps were detected—the indorsement being printed from & wood-cut—but there is no such means to detect this last issue. It is probable that an immense number of them are now treely taken in change. Col. Baxer and Mesers. McDevitt and Clar- voe deserve the thanks of the country for these importast arrests, which cannot fail to check the counterfeit business in general.—yv. Y. Express.

Lieut. Smith was shot through the knee, and obe man was badly wounded in the groin. Lieut. S. was stripped of his clothes and robbed of $1,400, intrusted to his care by his men fer safekeeping, and when the guerrillas retreated they ordered him to mount a horse and go with them, but he refused, saying that he was too badly wounded, and they might shoot him and do their worst. They then abandoned him, and mee re rapidly away with their other prisons, and he was rescued by & body of our men in parent of the guer- villas, and taken to the hospital at Alexan- ria. A party of guerrillas, reported to belong to Kincheloe’s gang, also committed similar out- Tages yesterday between Accotink and Burke’s Station, killing, near the latter place, private ‘Wm. B. Moore and another man belonging to the 6th Pennsylvania heavy artillery. The Active measures now being taken will prevent any similar outrages on the road. A REBEL CANINE DESPATCH CARRIER. An officer who came up from City Point to- day had with him an ugly looking specimen of the genus canine, which he guarded very care- fully. The dog, it appears, was a great pet with both our own and the rebel pickets in front of Hancock’s corps. The dog had been trained to carry messages between the pickets. Arebel paper would be placed in his mouth and he would scamper off to the Union lines, deliver up the paper and return with a North- ern paper. He has been entrusted with pack- ages of coffee and tobacco, and always deliv ered them promptly and safely. The rebs, however, tried to make use of him for transmitting information from one portion of their lines to another, and the four-legged messenger have been caught with one of those messages, he was confiscated and brought North. FROM CITY POINT, The United States mail steamer Manhattan, Captain Ryther, arrived here this afternoon from City Point. The delay in getting here was occasioned by aseyere storm on the bay last night. An unasual quiet has prevailed in Grant's army for few days past. The pickets, how- ever, keep up an occasional shooting. The election throughout the army was con- ducted very quietly, and the large majorities everywhere obtained for the Union ticket pleases the soldiers hugely. REFUSING TO OBEY ORDERS. Forty-seven quartermaster’s employees, who refused to 50 to Virginia tor the purpose of as- sisting in clearing the Manassas Gap Railroad of timber, when ordered to do 80. were ar- rested last night and committed to the Central Guard-house. REBEL DE3ERTERS. Sixteen rebel aeserters of Virginia, Tennes- see and North Carolina regiments, arrived here yesterday evening from Gen. Butler’s de- partment. Col. Ingraham released them upon taking the oath of allegiance, THE New NATIONAL LOAN.—To-day at ly o'clock, the work of opening the bids for the new national loan was commenced by Assist- ant Secretary Harrington, in his room in the Treasury Building, in the presence of a large number of gentlemen.

THE PENNSYLVANIA ELECTION. The State Still in Doubt—The Majority for Either Side will be Small—Both Parties Claim the State. HARRISBURG, Oct. 14.-From information received here this morning, it is absolutely impossible to determine how the State has gone until the reception of the official réturns- Both parties claim small majorities, but unexpacted Tesults in heayy northern Union counties ten- der it scarcely possible to qvercome the large Democratic gains. In either case it is admitted that the majority will be small, and can onl be determined by the official vote. The record- ing of the soldiers’ votes is necessarily very slow, they being distributed among various counties, and from the manner in which they appear on the tally papers it is impossible to make up the aggregate until the record is more complete. PENNSYLVANIA ELECTION, HABRISEURG, Oct. 14.—The official majority in this county is 651. CHAMBER6IURG.—Cotlroth, Democrat, has 50 majority in Franklin Co., and 600 in the dis- trict on home vote. MARYLAND ELECTION, The New Constitution Prebably Adopted by a Small Majority. BALTIMORE, Oct. 14.—Returns from the con- stitutional election come inslowly. The re- sult is doubtful. The triends of emancipation think it will be adopted by a «mall majority, unless the slaye- holding counties give larger majorities against it than is anticipated. FROM CANADA.

A new war- rant was issued by Justice Johnson and di- rected to G. P. Hotchkiss, who was depntized toserve it. The Senorita was arrested and taken before Justice Johnson, when it ap peared by the statements made that the child ‘was the adopted son of Geo. W. Seigrist, an actor in a circus in New York. On Thursday night week the defendant abducted the child from the circus, aud came to Washington and engaged at the Canterbury, where she appeared with this and other children last Saturday night, performing on the stage. Last night, atter the performance, she was arrested, with a man named Oharles Smith, who was charged with aiding and abetting the abduction. The legal documents confirming the statements were exhibited, and Justice Johnson told her that he could giveheran opportunity to em- ploy counsel if she desired it. She admitted that the child was the claimants, and that she took it from the door of the circus in New York and brought it to Washington; but she would like to have counsel. Justice Johnson held her to bail in $1,000 to appear at 2 o’clock this evening, with the child, tor further hearing, Mr. George Lea, propri- etor of Canterbury, becoming her security. The defendant intends to contest the delivery of the child to its adopted parent, Seigrist, on the ground of systematic cruelty practised by Seigrist to make the child Peer feats be- yond the capacity of one of its tender age— eight years. The child, when in the office of the justice, evinced great affection tor Madame Lopez, and clung to her, screaming, ‘ Don’t let them take me back to that man Seigrist.’’ Deputy Marshal Boret testified that the natu- ral mother of the child is dend, and that the father became so abandoned and reckless that the authorities of Boston, Mass, took up the child asa foundling, and it was adopted by Geo. W. Seigrist, trom whom it was abducted by the defendant. PRESSED INTO SERVICE.—Yesterday, as has already been stated, a large number of the hands employed in the Quartermaster’s De- partment were sent from the city to work in clearing up the country in the vicinity of the Manassas Gap railroad, so that the woods should not be used as a cover for guerrillas. At the 7th street wharf, after the colored hands had been marched on the boot, work appeared ata stand etill. It is absolutely necessary, SO great are the demands from the various corrals and stables, that the forage department here should be kept in working trim constant- ly; and to supply the places of the men sent off, the officers in charge made a raid on all colored men found loitering about in the neigh- borkood unoccupied. The raiders consisted of the Veteran Reserve Corps, who performed their duty admirably, gathering up within a few squares of the wharves, over one hundred men. Capt. Allen, the efficient Quartermaster there, was thus fully able to keep the work from accumulating on his hands. ——.___ CRIMINAL CouRT, Judge Olin.— Yesterday, John Leonard, indicted for larceny, was tried, but the jary were unable to agree. In the case ot Sarah Rody, indicted for lar- ceny, & nolle pros. was entered. John Gleason, indicted for a rape upon Joanna Horring. a girl about twelve years of age, was tried. This morning, the jury in the case of Gleason, returned a seaied verdict of guilty of an assault and battery with intent to commit a rape, and Lot guilty of committing the rape. Gleason strenuously asserted his innocence, and Judge Olin, after addressing him on the enormity ef the crime, sentenced him to the lightest punishment under the law—one year in the penitentiary. ee gee A FEMALE PIcKPOOKET.—This morning, Justice Thompson committed Mary McNeill to jail for trialon the charge of picking the ocket ot James Brown. Mrs. McNeill met r.. Brown on 7th street and inquired of him the way to the corner of 10th and E streets.
