It appears from the Denton Journal, that in March last a young Englishman, twenty-five or thirty years of age, made bis appearance there, and through letters of recom: mendstion, purporting to be from Abel Stevens, of New York, editor of the Nutional Magazine, and from John Giles, Frtneipah of Bergen Academy. N. J., he provured the situation of teacher in the male school in tbat village. Subseqnently he inform- ed the members of the Methodist Episcopal church that he was a regular licensed preacher, and pe sented a licenre dated at Richmond, Va., signed by the Rev. Thos. C. Hayes. He was thereupon in- vited to preach, and by his eloquence attracted large crowds, A vacancy occurring, he was ap ted to fill the p) of “young pieacher,” when he procured a handsome sulkey and a $165 horse, and soon became a favorite with the ladies, All went on well, until it turned out that he was engaged to be married to two respectable girls. One of them, however, unfortunately for him, wrote to Mr. Stevens, to ascertain something about him, and received for answer that he knew no such per- son as John Howard, the name under which it is bot he had passed himeelf off. When this letter reached Denton, the Journal says he attempted to elope with the other girl to whom he was engaged, but fortunately her friends saved her from his grasp. ‘The gentleman who sold him the horse not having been paid, ti en pursued him and found him a mile from Denton with the horse, which he gave up, hitched in the woods. In a day or two he started for Baltimore, and returned in ‘about a week, but being threatened with lynch law by the citizens, again left for this city. On Wednesday last, how- ever,he wert down again, and stopped at the house of @ gentleman seven miles / ke Denton, where he wasarrested the same night by the sheriff and a posse, and committed to jail in default of bail for hyip Lectiomame ln caer sibeeembee the Caroline county circuit courte The Journal states that let- ters have been obtained within a few dove, sawing that he is the same person who figured year South Groton, Mass., under the name of James Cooper, or Cowper, where he married a Misa Fletcher; pres poeel dd he created @ sensation at Rockland Lake, Mass., and in oe came near securing the charge of the Clay street chapei, at Richmcnd, Va. The facts were published in the Sun at the time of the flare up at Richmond, to- ether with certain preferred sgainst hin relation to the death f his wife, in England.

While it was pre; and durin; moving of the furniture, some one exa- mine cellar to take an inventory of the articles subject te sale, and in an old bap ender a hens of, wood, came upon over $1,700 in gold and silver. It was tied in small bage, so rotton from age that the slightest handling reauced the canvass to shreds. This discovery induced another exploration of the cellar and office, and it ended in a still more sur- prising vewslt-—tee Stig of near $4,500 in Mis. sourl k bille, hidden away in the chimney. Dil- igent search was again made, but as no more eer ves forthcoming, it is probable thet the en- ire wealth of the old man Las been regained. A rumor prevailed, hcwever, from the statement of two emall boys inthe thborhood, that about the com- mencement of the &@ man was seen leaving the office with two small bags of money.

Such a tise they would deprecate. The fewer ras- cals the better for them. “The rest of mankind” they ‘would have innocent and confiding. Let us imagine a com formed after the model of many ing institutions in Wall street. We will designate it, (the hi ‘bolean style is the one now in vogue,) “The Soft Soap, and Universal Washing Company.” + The company issues its prospectus—a very hand- somely bound and typographical pamphlet of forty or fifty pages—with @ preliminary description or history of soap, both hard and goft, from its earliest invention, stating alzo its various uses and applica tions dowa to the presenttime. The importaoce, in fact necessity, of washing,is also earnestly dwelt u,on, and the mind is gragually prepared by these pleasing and instructive disquisitions for the pro- gramme which follows. This is the giat of the whole watter—the complexion to which they would come at lest. The prozramme first sets forth the valuable pro- perty of the company, consisting of ‘a vast bed of ashes, in the immediate neighborhood of a great deposit of fat.” The fat is supposed to have drop- ped just at that point, from the clouds—as in some parts of the earth, blood, flesh, and tisb, have de- scended in rain. The origin of the ashes is unknown; it pay be artificial, may be netural—it {ia not of monch consequence. be ashes” are thar. Besides these essential elements in the manufacture of soap, the company owns a large tract of land, whi:h con- toons enormous quantities of alkaline earth, impreg- nated with soda, and through which flows a broad and rapid stream fhe Board does not wish to en- Jarge on the great advantages to be derived from | this fine water power, and the abundance of excel- lent timber growing on its banks. They would ra- ther confine themzelves exclusively to the means they posscas of Tspnhcnatioe soap in any quanti and of every quality; and the facilities sfforde them of washing, at the lowest prices, in the short- est possible time, and in the best style and most | thorough manner, every variety of: garment, with- out regard to number, color, te naterial. To enable them “ to falfil t ions of the public,” (these ‘‘ expects always antici- | pated), the company nav ia the most con- | venient location a “ mejes ice, two hundred feet in length by ome hun in breadth (nothing Is said of the height), in which both the sosp will be Manufactured and the garments washed.

The above paragraph ie from the Buffalo Express. Ita senior editor was is this city about three weeks since, and spent some time in ooking around upon us and our “institutions,” and many le things did he report of us—much more than the solitary item of intelligence contained ia ed es a the above pi ph.

The question of the constitu tionality of the Meine Liquor law was raised in les then a month afier its passage here in Detroit, a justice of the peace taking extensive powers t imgelf, deciding it unconstitutional. Thence it was taken to the Supreme Conrt, where the full bench stood, and stand to this day, equally divided. Inthe light of our explanation it will be seen at once that in foor districts of the State the Maine law ia held to be unconstitutional, and if it is not carried out, would be, because ‘‘not in accordance | with public opinion.” In the other four districts— among them this one of Detroit—the case being referred back to the Jucge for final decision, he pronounces the law unconstitutional. And this de- cision has all the bincing force of a decree issuing from the Supreme Court of the State!

We are indebted to the kindness of Mr. J. W. Smith, of the Michigan Central Railroad ya office, for the ren sd ere pen showing the ship- ments of whiskey from it over the Central Road for the months of December, 1851, 1852 and 1853, January and February 1852, 1853 and 1854. The law went into effect the lst of December, 1853. Locking at the last column of figures under each brace, it will be seen that for December, 1853, and Jani and February, 1854, there was a great fall- ing off in the shipments of whiskey to the different stations on the road. We have also given the ship- ments for March, April and May, to show the rise and progress of the trade after the fear of the law was gone:— ee ae ee ‘SL 152 63°53 "SS 4 162534 15454 De De De.

AnoruER Revoiring Ovrrace.—The most re- volting case cf rape it has been our duty to resord, ‘was committed near Goodale Park, on Friday even- ing last, between 6 and 7 o'clock. The guilty wretch bas thus far eluded the officers and re who bave been in search of him. So far as we could learn, the following is the description of the demon:—He is supposed to be an Iri-hman, about six feet high, wore at the time black loons, check shirt, (in his shirt sleeves,) and cloth cap, sy bair, and light sandy whiskers. The victim is a little girl, about-tweive years of age, who, in company with a little deaf and dumb girl about ner own age, had gone to the grove after their cows, The child was so much injured that she could not have reached home (had it not been for the aid of two attachés of the penitentiary, wh» fortanately came across her, and conveyed her to the residence of ber parents. The excitement among those re- sidivg in the veighbrrbood, and others connected with the railroad, was so intense as to render it evi- cent that, had the inbuman wretch been caught at the time, the country would bave been saved the ex- ma of atrial. The officers of the different trains aving the city were advised of the circamstances and ordered to arrest any man vho answered the description, if he should be found at any station for the care. Aman got on the ca sat Jefferson on Securcay morning, who answesed the description, end was immediately arrested. He was brought back to this city, ani was met at the depot by our city marehal and other officers. There were be- tween three and four hunared citizens present, and the exciement was so intense shut it was with tne greatest diffivulty the man could be conveyed to the + residence of the unfortanate victim for recognition. He was not revognized as the man, a2d was permit- ted to go. The officers are still on the alert. We ean think of no punishment which, in our minds, weuld be severe enough for the inhuman monster who committed tie outrage.— Co/umbva (0.) States man, Avgut 7. Ixpran Excrrewent.--The St. Joseph (Ind.) Val- ley Register, of August 3, publishes the following letter from Marietta, Marsball colnty, lowa, dated July 15, 1864:—During the past week, there bas been considerable excitement about Indians all through this wait A party of indiana, sald to be of the Bioux tribe, came down the lowa river, as far as the vorthern boundary of Marshall county, also & great e: on the head waters of Cedar river.

Tney also com pelied the United States Sarveyors to quit their ba- siness, eaying they did not like the place where vernment had sent them, and that they meant to five that country beck again. Alarmed these movements, the settlers on Shell Rock and Lims Creek, and surrounding vicinity, fortified them- selves until they ran out of provisions, and then beat back about miles. The Sioux tribe is all armed with double barrelled guns, knives and tomahewks, ard a number of them with re- | volvere. ‘This much {s obtained from authentic | sources; besides which,@ great man; | afloat through the land, one of which ia that three rumors are cannons have been been discovered among the In- dians; but probably this is false.
