TUESDAY MORNING. -NOV, 11.
Counterfeit Bil!.
We have been shown a Ten Dollar bill,
purporting to be issued by the Bank of Au*.
guata, which is, however, a gross counterfeit,
'i he signatures of the President, Robert F.
Poe ; the Cashier J. VV. Davies and the
Pfljre. J. M. Hut, and the date, 4th July, all
of which, are remarkably well counterfeited,
are the only features ol the genuine bills which
are attempted to be imitations. The plate is
totally different from any bill ever issued by
the Bank, a,»u the engraving badly execated—
though it might deceive the unwary and those
not very familiar with the issues of the Bank.
In the counterfeit, the Vignette or design in
tho centre of the bill represents a female
reclining in the foreground—a laborer stand
ing near with his sleeves rolled up, pointing
to some object with his left hand, and a ship
in the distance—on the left end is the head of
Washing'* on, on the right a profile of an un
known head, and between the names of the
Presiden£ M nd Cashier a cross of Keys. The
paper is ir terior and the eng laving coarser
and lighter than the genuine bills.
As a considerable amount of these bills have
been recently discovered in Dade County,
the public should be on their guard.
Mobile and Girard Railroad. —The city
of Columbus has, in public meeting, which
has been confirmed by the City Council, au
thorised the subscription of $150,000 dollari
to the slock of this road, which is to be ap
plied exclusively to the purchase of Iron
This subscription it is said will tnabla the
company to complete the road to Chun
nenugge Ala ,a distance of over forty miles.
The City has also subscribed an additional
sum, suffi.cent to extend the road across the
river from Girard to Columbus, and to erect
Depots within the corporate limits, provided
that the raid subscription shall become apart
of the capital stock of the company.
These su bscri ions, the friends of the
r t r.a k will be amply suffic ent to secure
the rapid progress of the road, and infhse
into the friends of the enterprise along the
entire line, a spirit that will prosecute to work
to an early completion.
Consul Owen Removed —The National
Intelligencer, cf Saturday contains the follow
ing tfiicia! announcement of the recall of Mr.
Owen, and the appointment o ( bis success™ •
iitpCinthskt by the Peesiiimt.— W. L. Shar
key, to bo Consul of the United States, at Havtna,
in the Island of Cuba, in plsce of Allen F. Owen,
recalled.
We presume Mr. Owen’s defence has teen
ere thi3, receded at Washington and has, of
course, proved unsatisfactory to the Adurnis
tration. We shall not he surprised, however,
if his removal has been caused rather by popu
lar clamor than any neglect of his oilicial duties
as the reprerentativo of the government.
We are quite familiar with the capacity of
the Lopez retainers for nirpiificslicn in their
efforts to delude the unfortunate victims of
that ill fated expedition, and we think it not
probable that they have been more regardf.il
of truth in their assaults on Mr. Owen. But
time will show.
The City Guards.
This flourishing young corps, Capt. W.
E. Dkarino, paraded for the first time in public
on Saturday last, and we are gratified «o learn
from those who witnessed it, (for we could not
be present) made a most haodsime deb t.
Their uniform is among the most tasteful and
attractive we have seen, and we feel assured
that a little practice under their efficient offi
cers, some of whom are experienced in their
dudes, having seen service in Mexico, will
render them a most accomplished corps— eu
ornament to the City. We sincerely hope
that their ranks may be well filled, and, as their
charter will exempt the members from jury
duty, in addition to the eclat of belonging to
such a ps, we should think their roll would
soon be iiltfed.
The Steamer Palmetto. —The Baltimore
American thus sp°aks of the new steamship
which is to run between that city and Charles
ton :
“ This noble steamshiph, which has recently
been built through the enterprise and liberality
of a number of our public spirited citizens,
with the view, and in the hope of establishing
between this port and the cLy of Charleston,
S. C. a regular line of steamships, we are
pleased to observe, is now nearly ready for
service. We made a visit to the “Palmetto”
a day or two since, at the wharf in front of
Mr. C. Reeder, jr’s. Foundary, on the north
side of the basin, and were much gratified in
viewing the various parts of the new steamer,
which we think bids fair to rival any of
her class afloat. The beautiful model, and
faultless proportions of her hull, have been
the admira'ion of all who have seen her,
among whom have been many fully compe
tent to express an opinion in such matters.”
To the Constitutionalist and Republic :
The following statement is made in ycur
paper of the 2d inst:
“Nearly 40,000 Whigs voted for Mr. Cobb,
while 30,000 Democrats voted for Gov. Me.
Donald.”
Will you please to explain the mode of arri
ving at this result, and oblige
A Respectful Inquirer.
Ejectment from the Cars. —ln the Su
preme Court of Massachusetts, on Saturday,
in the case of Edwin Tayler vs. W. H. Os
good and others, the jury awarded to the piain'iff
damages for being ejeated from the Wo
burn branch tiain on the 4th of July, 1850,
because, not having purchased a tricket at the
depot, he refused to pay the difference estab
lished by the by laws of the company.

A meeting of the Constitutional Union
members of tbe Legislature, agreeably to a
resolution agreed to, at the preliminary meet
ing held on yesterday evening, met at Beecher
& Browu’a Hotel this evening, for the pur
pose of nominating a candidate for the Senate
of the United States.
Tbe meeting was organised by calling the
lion. Sami. Farris to preside. A motion was
made to reconsider the action of the meeting
of last night, with a view, as it was alleged by
those who favored the motion, of allowing
the members of the party to consult more
fully among tin mselves. in regard to the
proper course to be adopted in making a
nomination. It was contended on t.ie other
side, that there was no necessity for delay,
that it has always been the practice of parties
to nominate candidates for the United States
Senate, in order that one opponent should not
have a controlling influence in the election,
as they probably would have, were there more
than one candidate, Ac. It was finally agreed
upon, to proceed to nominate a candidate for
the United States Senate, by ballot, and that a
majority of all the Constitutional Union mem
bers of the Legislature, should be necessary
for a choice. Whereupon, the Convention
proceeded to ballot. On the first ballot, the
Hon. Robt. Toombs received 68 votes, and
tbeie were 13 scattering votes.
It having been ascertained that 71 votes
constituted the required majority, a second
ballot was ordered, which resulted as follows :
Hou. Robt, Toombs 73; Scattering 3.
Mr. Toombs was then declared to be the
nominee of the Const ; tutionai Union party,
for the Senate of the United States. On mo
tion of Mr. Trippe, of Monroe, u Committee
of three was appointed, to inform Mr. Toombs
oj his nomination, and introduce him to the
Convention.
Tho Chairman appointed Messrs. Trippe,
McDougald and A. J. Miller, said Committee,
who retired and in a few minutes, returned,
accompanied by Mr. Toombs. In a few, but
very pertinentremarks.be signified his accep
tance of the nominstion. His speech was
received with every demonstration of profound
satisfaction. L.

The Trait d’Union in another article on the sub
ject, makes use of the following remarks :
And Tehuantepec 1 If, relative to the aggres

tinued up to this time, is pursued with reference
to the Garay grant, the Government of the
United States will be forced to hostilities, and
hostilities once commenced, when will they be
finished 1
The neighboring Republic is agitated by a na
tional question, that is to say, oneot those qui.s
t*ons which are not easily tube passed over in
this practical age. Should the United States
then, make war, aided by the malcontents here,

Below we giro additional correspondence re
ceived from Borwnsrille, which, through some
accident, failed to reach us yesterday in time for
our evening edition :
Carvajal, on the 25th October, addressed a
proclamation to the people of Matamoros, of
which the following is a hasty translation :
Friiow-Cittizens.— The “ plan” of the 16th
of September last, which I and my companions
have sworn to defend, was made for your bene
fit, and you have a co-operative part in the prin
ciples which formed it. Thus it is, that in order
to secure its objects, and after having overcome
a thousand obstacles, full of joy. 1 come to
unite with you in order to expel the tyrant from
your midst. A proof of this is the fact of the
m- cti- _ with mi,at the rancho of Las Rusias,
of a commltte of your representatives, headed by
ihe political chief of this department. From
him I learned with profound grief that you were
fascinated by that same military power which is
plunging you into the most frightful abyss.
Von were deceived by tyranny, which, united
with low pretences and vilo interests of two or
three smugglers, overcame your reason by telling
von that foieigners were my followers, that my
object is to sicure the indepence of the fiontier
States and afterwards annex them to the United
States of the North. Atrocious calumny!
Ami not a Mexican like yourselves ? Have I not
proved a thousand times, in periods of danger,
that I was faithful to my country, which I never
have betrayed, and never will betray*? Have
you not seen that it is secured by one article of
my plan, and that the foreign auxiliaiies who
accompany me are united with the squadrons ol
Reynosa, Mier and Guerrero, your brothers,
relations and friends, in a contract which binds
them to sustain the same cause.
I do not know, gentlemen, why you give more
credit to the infamous falsehoods of the very
tyranny which oppresses you than to the faithful
promises and vows of your brothre and friend, and
even than to your own convictions.
Tyranny has fascinated you, I repeat. Tyran
ny profited by your candor, so as to cause you
to annihilate yourselves, and to take part In
its frr nds and crimes. For this I have found
myself received in a hostile manner, and for
this it happens that they sacrifice you like au
tomatons, while the real enemy lies hidden be
hind his parapets.
See, my friends, the first act of the troops on
going out to the contest. See how far the black
designs of despotism have been“cariied. Last
night! yes l that night which you will never
forget, they set fire to your houses, and not con
tent with this atrocious act, they received pleas
ure in seeing your blood flow by the light of the
flames which they had kindled. And what will
you say, fellow citizens? I have desired your
support, because thus I would be secured ; be
cause you are my brothers, because the cause is
holy, and because I long for your preservation.
My friends 1 some moments remain to you in
which you may reflect, and rid yourselves of the
false impressions which have been created In
your mirds by some vile hyrocritea and calum
niators, who pretend to be your friends. Reflect,
for God’s sake reflect on the evils which await
you if you persist in your error. What! do you
not clearly see the deceit 1 Decide against
whom you will direct your fire, against the true
liberals—against your relatives and friends,
against the liberators who wish to rescue you
from tho oppression beneath which yon groan 1
What infatuation 1
Open eyes. Will you continue shedding
your bP-rd fi r the benefit of interested agents 7
I cannot think it. Abandon the ranks of tyran
ny, leave them, with all that belongs to you,
and do not cantinue blind instruments of the
blackest pretensions. Observe that I. firm in the
principle which I have sworn to defend, will give
up every thing before yielding to any vain con
sideration.

Latf.r from Havana —By the arrival of the
Brig Adda, last evening, from Havana, which
port she left on the Ist inst., we learn that Mr.
Thrasher was still in confinement, and that a
repott was current at the time of of her sail
ing, that his brother had been arrested on the
previous day. We have hoard tha' there is a
rumor, likewise in Havana, to the effect that
same papers had bean discovered in the office
of Mr J. S Thrasher, in the hand writing of
Lopez, which implicated his brother, and moat
probably ether individuals.— Ch. Cour.
Pboposbd Division of Oregon. —A move
ment hat lately been set on foot by the settlers
in Oregon Territory which has for its object the
organizaion of a separate Territorial Govern
ment for that portion which lies to the north of
the Colunbia river. It isto be called the Co
lumbia Territory, and throughout its vast extent
is well adapted to agriculture, commerce and
manufactuting. The total absence of all munic
pal law aid civil officers, the great distance from
the scat of the present Government, and the
isolated s:tuation of this part of the Territory
therefrom, and many other reasons, arc urged as
to the pnpriety of the organization of a sepa
rate Territorial Government. For the promo
tion of tins object a Convention of twenty five
delegatcsasscmbled at Carolitz, Lewis county,
on the 29th of August, and, after discussing the
matter, unanimously adopted the following res
olution :
“ That*committee of three bo appointed by
the President of the Convention to prepare a
suitable memorial on that subject to Congress,
and that the same be forwarded to the Delegate
in Congress from Oregon Territory, requesting
him to use his influence to procure the organi
zation of t separate Territorial Government.”
Previous to the session of the Convention, a
committee on districts and counties having been
appointed, the territory north of thi Columbia
river was divided Into twelve counties, with well
prescribed boundaries. The Convention is »o
meet again at Olympia some time about the mid
dle of next May, there to form a State Conven
tion, preparatory to asking admission into the
Union as one of the States thereof, provided
that Congress has not at that time organized a
Territorial Government. — Nat. Intel.
