A Cosh Transaction.
Wo havo received an advertisement, which
frtn forth that somebody's wife has " loft his
bed and lroard," and that bo docs not intend j
to bo held responsible for any dobts she may \
contract. Advertisement* of thio nature are :
not solicited, but, when published, must be I
paid for in advance. "NVc accordingly withhold
the notice, until the amount for four in-1
eertions, ($1.87.}) shall bo forthcoming.
Counterfeiter Arrested.
Wo learn that ono Ukesk, traveling under
the assumed name of Nieiiot.s, wns arrested
at Walhalhi lust wcok for pausing counterfeit
bills on the Farmers' liunk of North Carolina.
Ho was taken back to that State, where
he will he disposed of as the law directs.
From this man's rovelations at Walhalln,
it would appear that ho 1ms "friends" about
the " Court House," and would have asked
his ptirsuors " no odds" if he only could have
reached this place in safety! Wo have made
diligent enquiry, and have ascertained that
he not only has no "friends" here, hut is
entirely unknown to our citizens. So much,
then, for this groundless imputation.

Scenery in the Old North State. men
A frioud, writing to us from the good "Old Hon
North State," furnishes tho following intei" fore
osting account of Dunn's Rock and tho sur- Mr.
ronuuing scenery:
Azai.ia IIoijsk, .Inly 7, 18f?7. n
" Pinm'N Hock is in Henderson county, N.
immediately on the French Broad rivor.
Jt is an elevated poi.it, from which a varied
and magnificent view of tho nountains and
delightful scenery roundabout i my be obtain- F
ed. The Balsam mountain, with its contig- recti
uous spires, is only n few miles distant; umr
whilst, further on, tlie larger ones of Pisgah
and Pilate, loom up in solitary grandeur.? "
lJufc the most dolightful scenery, perhaps, in Clen
to bo seen in ascending the Hock, displacing (]0\
to the enchanted vision ol the visitor, lovely i
volleys and thcpioturescpie moanderingH of'
their silvery streams. The freshness nnrl
b?-auty arc vivifying in tho extreme, and tho p
loneliness ns soothing as tho most misanthropic
bachelor could desire. Jlore the green com
Kills lift their dewy heads, and the clear rip- layi
pling streams rejoice in the valo below. And ,,n,j
more: this section of country is the paradisc
of flowers. The mountains, in tho Bum- '
mertimc, are carpeted with the moss maple, the
or prickly pear, of scarlet, and yellow?the
Hyacinth, johncpiill, tho rose, jassnmine, yol!
low and white (lowered honey-suckle, passion mor
flower, a/.alia, and a variety of other raro ing
flowers blooming, diffusing thoir delicious ^cr j
fragrance through the air, and which give
to the whole neighborhood the appournneo of
a llower garden. cnB<
" Near by tlows tho beautiful French Broad witi
river, like a cord of silver gliding through this ])C]|
lovely valley of flowers. On tno mountain j?v0
peaks, in full view, tho raven nestles eeeure
Prom molestation, and tho hoe. forms his count- T
loss colls with tho rich honey plucked from prr
tho oTvcot-oconted flowers, iu npi iu<r <iudsuni- ,
mer. .
" Oh ! how my heart swelled with delight, hus
as I gazed on the beautiful scenery surround- bev
ing nte, and wished thoso whom I lovcil most ?
! were with mc to enjoy it. But my feeble
j pen fails to do justice to the scene, and I lay
it aside, asking of all a visit to this pictur- nea

tho tonus proscribed by tho gnvernlicnt
of your country, t?> establish their
iwn State government and frame their own

hhI protected. If laws have been enacted
by the territorial legislature which are disapproved
of by a majority of the people of
the Territory, the mode in which they
I'ould elect a new territorial legislature and
repeal those law.s was also designated. If
there are any grievances of which you havo
[tny just right to eoniplain, the lawful,
peaceful manner In which you could remove
thorn, in subordination to the govern
moiit of your eottfttiy, wnfudso pointed ou??
You. have, however, chosen to disregard
the. l;iws of Congress, and of the territorial
government created by it, and, whilst professing
to acknowledge a State government
rejected l>y Cottgrcts, and which can, therefore,
now exist only by a successful rebellion,
and exacting from all your officers the
perilous and snereligioua oath to support
tho do-called Stato Constitution-, yet you
have, even in defiance of the so-caliled
State Legislature, which refused to grant
you a charter, proceeded to create n local
government of your own, based only
upon insurrection and revolution. Tho
very oath which you require from nil your
officers to support your so-opllod Topeka
State const i tut if m is violated in the very
net of putting- in operation a chnrtcr rejected
even by them.
A rebellion so iniquitous, ami ncccssarily
involving such awful consequences, hna
never before disgraced any age or country.
Permit ine to call your attention, as still ^
claiming, to be citizens of the United States,
to the results rtf your revolutionary proceedings.
You are inaugurating rebellion and
revolution : vou nre oisrerrrirdin?v the l.iwi
of p&ngrcs* and of the territorial government
of tho United States in the Territory.
Vdur purpose, if carried into effect in the
mode deniirned by you, by putting your
laws forcibly into execution, would involve
you in the guilt and crime of treason. You
stand now, fellow-citizens, upon the brink
of an awful precipice, nnd it bcoomcs my
duty to warn you ere you take the fatal
Kip in the gulf below. If your proceedi
>gs nrc not nrrcstcd, you will necessarily
destroy the icaeo *>f.this Territory, nnd involve
it in fifl the horn*? of civil wrtr. t
warn you, then, before it \? too late, to recede
fronv the perilous position in which
you now stand. /
I. appeal once moro to your reason nnd
patriotism. 1 nsk you in the nnme of our
common country?in tuo name of tho Constitution
and of tho I'nion?to desist, from
this rol)cllion. I appeal once more to your
love of your country?to your regard for its
pea Co, prosperity ami reputation?to your
aflection fttv your wives and children, and
to all those patriotic motives which ought
to influence Am'oricAn citizens to abandon
this contemplated revolution. If yon have
wrongs, redress them through the peaceful
instrumentality of the ballot-box, in tho
mode proscribed by the laws of your cour ,try
'
Aw nil arguments heretofore so often addressed
by me to you have failed as ycl to
produce anvOffcct unoii von. f hnv#? An
it nocow?nry, lor your own nafety and that
of the Territory, nnd to wive you from tho
perilous consequences of your own cictH, order

of tho United State*, to order an adequate

Let mo adjure you, then, once more, to
abandon theso proceedings before you involve
yourselves in the or!too of treason, i
and ouujcct tho people of tho city of Lnxvronce
to all tho horrors nnd calamities of
insurrection and civil war. If yon will
now desist from thi.i projected revolution,
