CUT STOCK. OF DRY GOODS AT AUCTION. Havana Cigars 4 VARIETY of Brands of superior quality, at WALKER'S CITY EXCHANGE, ieb3 Pearl or Third street. tttTThe following is an extract from the letter in relation to the arrest of a band of coun- terfeiters which we referred to yesterday. The letter is dated at Hardihsburgh, Ky citizens of this aud Larue county, have The Nations.

Mr. Walsh, in a letter to the i National Intelligencer, says: "For America, political Europe is now France and Great Britain; and you cannot be ignorant how they are leagued. The other great powers of this quarter of this globe leave your hemisphere to them; RuspiaAustriaand Prussia are abundantly occupied with concerns on this the my ambition already aroused by the notice, this drawback did not lead me to abandon the determination to become one of the competitors. I resolved to make the attempt. My preparations were soon made, and the next morning I left my lowly home, after bidding adieu to my mother's grave, and disposing of her few articles of worldly goods, which just sufficed to pay her debts.

With my pack upon my back, and my staff in my hand, I set forth; and now, on this the fourth day of my journey, has Providenc-brought me to this hospitable roof and these CONCLUSION TO-MORHOW. Fiom the Philadelphia Saturday Courier. THE WAY SIDE INN; OK, The Trial of the 1'orlrnits. A STORY ABOUT A YOUTH AND A MAIDEN. BY J.

H. INQilAHAHE. Continued. Dame Steiner thought to herself that it was very strange he did not know whether his mother were living or not; hut she had too much delicacy to press the subject. She sat "a few moments knitting in silence He placed the tankard upon the tahle and then glanced towards Jeannette, who still looked very steadily out of the window, as if ff.aring again to encounter the dark, admiring ol'tlie young man.

Her heartflutterod with unwonted throh-hings. 'You have asked if I have a at length saidthe youngman. 1 am, 1 believe, an orphan. Your kindness calls for confidence on my part. 1 will tell you all Iknow about Jeannette bent her ear to listen.

'Indeed I didn't mean to be curious, said the dame, apologetically. Yon were not so. I am an artist by profession. In this pack is coutaiued all my worldly wealth, save a silver do'lar and some few pieces of copper which 1 have in my pocket. ButI have health and a knowledge of my art, and I do not fear for the he said, with beaming and ingenuous looks.

I have come in the last five days from a valley in the Western part of the State, where I have dwelt from boyhood with one who has been more thau a mother to me. Yon remind me of her in your goodness tome. When I was about seven years of age, so she has often told me, I was discovered in a small skiff floating down tho Susquehanna, about sunset. Her husband, who was a boatman and forrester, that is, cut timber in the majestic forests upon the river, and rafted it down to a market, discovered the skiffrloating by, his attention being drawn to it by a dog standing upon ihe bows and violently barking, as if to attract his notice. Supposing it contained only the dog, he sprang into his boat and pulling out into the rapid stream, came to it and discovered to his surprise a boy lying in the bottom, quietly sleeping.

'That was yourself, observed the dame. 'Yes. Htj took mc into his boat, and towing the skiff ashore, hastened with me to his humble norne. His wife, kind and good like yourself, received me with joyful surprise; and, as she had no children of her own, she resolved to adopt me if no one came for 'Yet you must have been not long before with yonr dear said the good dame with tenderness. 'Yes.

The river for miles above flowed through a wilderness, and only here and there was a woodman's hut. When my father, as I called the. man who found me, went up the river after timber in the fall, lie made every inquiry, but in vain. He could hear of no one who had lost a child within seventy miles. So, he and his wife resolved to look upon me as their own.

My dress being different from that of the children of the foresters, it was thought by them that I must belong to some family emigraingto the west, and that, in crossing the river, I had been separated from the party. As for myself, the account I gave was that I lived iu a large house upon the river, and that I had left my father and mother to play by the water-side, when, getting into the boat with the dog, it got loose, and I was drifted down by the current. But as nothing could be heard of such a family for upwards of seventy miles, my account was supposed to be incorrect, and that I was really too young to give a true relation of the facts. As my new mother became very much attached to me, she did not anxiously prosecute the search, and by aud by the affair was forgotten in the neighborhood, and I was looked upon as her son. I grew up with this family as a son.

In my twelfth year, her husband was drowned in the lower Susquehanna, and I became her only solace and dependance. So far as my age and strength permitted, I devoted myself to providing for her comfort. 'About this time I begun to evince a taste for drawing, and though my sketches were rudely done with colored chalks found in the banks of Llie rlvrir, they Inspired me to new efforts. At the age of fifteen, a gentleman who was travelling passed a night at our house, and, seeing my drawings, said he would send me from Philadelphia a box of colors and brushes. He fulfilled his promise.

The next year I resolved to visit the city, and see something of the works of art which I had heard and read in the newspapers, for one of these prints occasionally reached our remote home- I travelled, as now, on foot, sketching likenesses on the way of farmers and their families, at twenty-five cents a head. In this way I paid my expenses to the city and backagaiu. I remained in the city some months, working with the celebrated Mr. Sully, who kindly employed me. At length I returned home, and devoted myself to my beloved art for three years.

Thence I travelled the country, sketching landscapes and taking portraits of remarkable faces that I fell in with. All this was done for art, not for gain. Sometimes I painted signs for inns, to get such little money as I needed. Again I returned to my humble ubode, rich iu art but not in purse. I would now gladly have sought the metropolis, to study-there aH the higher works of art; but my mother would not suffer me again to quit and I owed her too much to act contrary to her wishes, much as I panted to distinguish myself in the great 'You were good, said Dame Steiner.

'I knew you would never desert Jeannclte had long since turned round from looking out at the window, and had been during the latter part of his simply told story gazing upon him with intense interest. Her whole soul seemed absorbed in listening. How her heart was dissolving and gushing out into the deep channels of love -sweet, fresh, delightful love, in its first awakenings in the soul. She listened -she sympathised she admired she forgot herself in him. 'At length my dear mother my more than mother continued the young artist.

The head-quarters was at Jos. Beechum's, in Larue where was found a large amount of spurious money, both paper una bogus. I have seen several notes of their make, and they arc well calculated to deceive, the only fault is that they are rather pale and the paper bad. They attempted to rob an old man in this but failed, and left one of their horses, and to make up the deficiency stole another, which led to their detection. It is said they number 30 or 40 in Larue, and extend to Nashville, and are a part of Murrill's band.

T. L. D. Rare Specimen of Heroism. The following incident, related by a French writer, is a remarkable instance of true heroism in a person of human life.

A nobleman in the neighborhood of Pontoise, who had a grangrene in his right arm, sent for a surgeon, who saw an absolute necessity of amputation: and having never performed such an operation, he sought, but in vain, for a dead body to practise upon, that he might succeed the better. No time was to be lost; the surgeon had a father in prison for debt, whom he hoped to set at liberty with the fee he should receive for the amputation. In this perplexity, his brother, a peasant of the same village, offered him his arm for the experiment; having performed on him, he succeeded afterwards with dexterity in the operation upon the nobleman, who, being informed of this extraordinary instance of filial generosity, relieved the father from prison aud settled a life anuuity on him and his children. Dow, says, in one of his recent sermons: "We are by no means anxious to be carried speedily down to the dull low-lands of age; yet it does really seem that, if we could have our own way, we should forthwith ampu-lute the lazy-flappi ug, gull-like wings of Time, put a steam boiler at his stern, and let him 'propel' at the rate of three weeks an hour." Why not set the old "grey beard" astride of the wire of the Magnetic Telegraph and shock him forward?

Lending1 Wives. The farmers of the Upper Alps, though by no means wealthy, live like lords in their houses; while the heaviest portion of the agricultural labor devolves on the wife. It is no uncommon thing to see a woman yoked to thrt plough, nlnng with an ass, while the husband guides it. A farmer of the Uppei Atpo accounts it an act of politeness to lend his wife to labor for a neighbor who is too much oppressed with work, aud the neighbor, iu turn, lends his wife for a few days work whenever the favor is requested. Extraordinary Feat of a Woman.

On Saturday evening, January 18, 1846, a young woman from North Haven, who was living in Mer-iden, proposed, (for a joke,) to walk to her home, a distance of 12 miles, after 9 o'clock, there being at that time, considerable snow in drifts upon the track. A gentleman being present, said he would give her if she would accomplish the feat; she accordingly started about a quarter past 9 in the evening, and arrived atN. Haven at2 o'clock on Sunday morning, having travelled five hours on one of the coldest nights of the season, in an unbroken path of snow-thus winning, and we had almost said, more than earning, the sum of 500, which, by the way, she was careful to secure by note, before she left. Railroad Engines. The London papers contain reports of experimental trips on different railroads for forty-three miles, with fifty tons, drawn by tho engine.

The average rale was forty-seven and a half miles per hour. The maximum was nearly sixty miles au hour. On the same route, another engine, of the kind called narrow guage, took eighty tons forty-three miles in fifty-eight minutes thirty seconds, making about forty-four miles an hour. Errors of the Press. Typographical blun-.

dersare sometimes so detrimentally and strangely wrong, that it would seem as if they were not always accidental.

Clason, of the firm of Clason Paine, lawyers, 31 Wall street, has been several times mentioned in disparaging terms, lately as in some way connected with the Evening Mirror. This morning Clason met Bennett at the corner of Maiden lane and Nassau street, and attacked him with a small cane or dog whip Bennett putting up his arms and shielding his face with his cloak, and exclaiming "None of your nonsense!" After some half dozen blows, pretty sharply administered, the whip broke, and the grand scena terminated by Mr. Bennett picking up Mr. Clason's hat, which had fallen during the muss, and politely handing it to the owner. This is the third or fourth disgraceful exhibition of this kind which has occurred in our streets within a few weeks.

Truly we are on tho high road back to barbarism. Great Sale of Pews. The pews in Grace Church, New York, were sold at auction on Tuesday, by Messrs'. Austen Spicer- The one hundred and fifty, out of two hundred and twelve which were sold, realized a larger amount of premiums than was ever before known, being, oyer and above the assessed sales of the pews, seventeen thousand, nine hundred and ninety-five dollars The highest premium paid, as we learn from the Courier, was $425, on a pew assessed at $800, the next ii 'a pew -rated at $900. The lowest price was on one rated at $650.

The purchasers were amongst the weatthiestand most respectable citizens. East; France and Great Britain care not a straw for the judgments and means of the secondary Governments; as they are confederate to limit, if not cripple your Union, you must deny them any new foothold." A Great Invention. Mr. McLaugh lin, of Philadelphia, has invented a perpetual time teller, by means of which not only the day of the month, but the date of any important event may be instantly ascertained A Bridge at Niagara Falls. The floating ice that passed out of the Lake during the lute thaw, has accumulated in large masses in the eddy below the Falls, and forms a bridge that is I passed and repassed with perfect security.

This has occurred wo think, once before, within a few years, but at a much later period in the season. Here are some' of the conundrums which were called out by the offer of a goblet for the best one, at Baltimore a few days ago. Why is a boy that gambles like a man just recovering from the small pox? Because he is a little better. Why is the course pursued by Mr. Caihoun on the Oregon Question like Oregon itself? Because it borders ou the Pacific.

Whv is a stable of the United States? Because there is a great deal of neigh ing i uuyLitg iiiciti. Why is the Queen of England like a cracked bell' Because she has lost her Peel. Why is President Polk on the Oregon Questionlike a frightened rat? Because he goes for the whole (hole.) Why do husbands now-a-days dislike their wives to go abroad? Because they never leave their homes without a bustle. Why is flour like the earth? Because it is ground. Why is the mourning head dress of a young widow like the emblem ofFredom? Because its the Cap of Liberty.

For the Morning In the Journal of yesterday, is an article which deserves notice. The writer desires to prejudice the citizens of Louisville against the road from Jeffersonville to Columbus, because he is favorable to that from New Albany to toa-lem, and intimates, that for private considera- I tious, Gov. Whitcomb signed the charter for the former. The people of Jeffersonville, Columbus, Indianapolis, aud ail along the line between those places, were anxious to have tho charter for the Columbus road, and in spite of the op position of the Madison interest, and that of New Albany, the hill passed by a handsome majority, and, therefore, Gov. Whitcomb signed.

The road to Salem would bring no new trade to this city there is now an excellent road to that town, and all, or nearly all the trade which would be carried on with Salem and the neighborhood, is done on that road. To Columbus, there is no direct communication from here; but there is a railroad connection between that town and Madison. Make this road to Columbus, and the trade and travel which go to Madison and Cincinnati, will come to our city. This road stretches on from Columbus to the Capitol of Indiana, and will, ina few years, connect directly with the great Lakes. Thd advantages are great and apparent.

Can the same be said of the Salem road, with "JUSTICE." A Review of the President's Message. Mr Billy Williams and Mr. Sammy Chipps, -being gentlemen of a rellective and philosophic turn, sat like a of Ancients upon the Levee, the other day, warming themselves by the remnant of a fire made by some sailors for the purpose melting tar. Like all contemplative men, they sat iu silence. Mr.

Williams undertook to remodel his hat, which appeared to have had a recent acquaintance with certain curb-stoues, while Mr. Chipps pursued a stray atom of tobacco through divers leaky pockets, with the utmost desperation. Finding it at last, and di viding it between them the matter of pea's bulk tor each Mr. Williams lilted up his voice and discoursed as follows: "I say, Sammy, have you seed the Messige!" "Wot messige? Nobody never don't give me no 'ceptin a messige to cut and make myself s'cace no more do you."

jKormng Courier. Al TB IV. HALDEMAN, EDITOR AND PROPRIETOR- LOUISVILLE: THURSDAY FEBRUARY 5. IMJPORTAIVT TO ADVERTISERS. Merchants, Mechanics, nnd advertisers generally, who desire to give their business the most extended publicity, would do well to bear in mind that all advertisements which appear intlie Morning Courier, are also tjuu-lished in the Evening Express thus giving them the advantage of the extended circulation of both issues.

The Morning Courier, as is well and generally known, has a large and respectable circulation, and is to be found in nearly all of the heavy and respectable Mercantile establishments; wliile theEvenin? Express very generally finds its way into private dwellings. "A word to the wise" fcc. tmmmmmHmBKmmammm Railroad to Colombo Indiana-Cost of Construction. In 1835 the route for this road was surveyed by a careful and intelligent engineer for the State of Indiana, whose faithfulness and competency were highly approved of by Gov. Noble, then Chief Magistrate, of that State, himself much engaged in the works of improvement then under examination or iu progress.

This survey, and previous levels along the high grounds, exhibited the fact, that the lowest gap in the knobs, and the best access to the centre of the State from Scott county, and even the Ohio state line or White Water valley, to the county uf Dubois, near the Wabash, was in the route of this road. In the words of Gov. Noble in 1837, "it was ascertained, most satisfactorily, not only that the route was practicable, but that it (the road) can be constructed at a cheaper rate thau any of the routes surveyed that year or subsequently." The report of the engineer states that, "Our experimental survey has demonstrated, that iu no case will it be necessary to exceed a grade of thirty feet per mile, that this will be required for but a very small proportion of the whole distance, and that throughout the greater portion of, the route, long grades of gentle inclination, and long levels can be obtained at little cost." "The whole distance from Columbus to the Ohio, at Jeffersonville, is 73 miles 800 feet not quite nine miles longer than a right line from point to point." Thejesttmates for graduation made from this experimental survey, was $377,129 11; average per mile $5,155 46. "The estimate has contemplated a of the road bed of sufficient width for a double track, viz. 24 feet with slopes in excavation of 1 -to 1, and in embankments of is to The estimate for superstructure can be easily made by those acquainted with the cost of work.

The estimates made by an experimental survey cannot be expected to give the exact data of cost at any time- The line is run partly to ascertain the practicability of the route and general topography of the line, and to approximate the location of the route. Running but a line of survey, the advantages of the small valleys and other opportunities of avoiding difficulties, obstacles and expense, are not ascertained, and the experimental survey should present the highest aggregate of expense of construction. It was found that the survey made the same season on the Madison route, varied but little from the actual cost during the succeeding years, with the exception of the deep excavation at Madison, although thesucceeding years were periods of extravagant prices. These estimates were made in 1835, when prices of labor and provisions exceeded by 25 to 33 those of the present and probably those of coming years. A fair deduction may be made from the estimate to reduce the proximate cost of graduation at least to $250,000, and the total cost to $500,000.

This estimate provides for a graduation for a double track, and the superstructure turn touts," or passing places required for the route- These statements are not presumed to present other than general calculations of cost of construction, which the estimates made upon farther investigation cannot exceed, and which are probably beyond the proper aggregate for the present cost of construction. The average estimated cost per mile on this road, was about $3Uj0 Jess than theaverage estimated cost of either the Madison or Lawreuce-biugh road, to Indianapolis, surveyed the same season, and authorised the statement of Gov. Noble and others, of the superior advantages of this ronle from the cheapness of construction. On the route from New Albany to Crawfords-vilte through Salem, the examination and the results of that examination are thus reported by Howard Stansbury, assistant Civil Engineer, detailed by Col. Albert, from the Topographical Corps.

"Upon the route from New Albany to Crawfordsville, however, it was ascertained that the cost of graduation alone for a railroad would amount to a sum of such magnitude as to preclude all prospect of its construction." The survey was therefore made on that route for a macadamized road. This ouly agrees with the evidence from other surveys, and random levels along the line of high grounds separating the Ohio from the alluvial valleys of the interior, that the route from Jeffersonville to Columbus pierces the hills bordering the Ohio river at the most favorable point from the valley of White Water and Miami to the valley of the Wabash. English Newspaper JSntehfiiize. The en-ter prize of the English newspapers is well known. The leading morning juurnals the Times, the Herald, and others send reporters over the continent of Europe, and establish correspondents at all prominent places on the face of the Globe.

We now find that they are about to re-print the proceedings of the -American Congress. The Boston JPost makes, the announcement thus: "The London Morning Chronicle has sent to this country to report for that paper the proceedings of XCr1 Iflany Chief Absorbing lutcrest in Life, is attending to tfie wauls of tlie body. This'eve-ry man of experience is compelled lo acknowledge, however desirous he may be to lend his testimony lo the act of higher and holier objects engaging the attention of the mass. The epitaphs of most men might read "He was He toiled and worried for food, clothing, and equipage, lie sought the. pbaiitom happiness.

He died." If, then, mankind will still persist in attending chiefly to IiotiiSy wants, all must admit that health should claim their first attention.
