Journo I aniTjUesscnger. The Commitment of Ketchum, The New York Herald, of the 29th ult., contains the following interesting ac count of the preliminary examination nnc commitment of Edward Ketchum, the great gold check forger : From an early hour io the morning, the Tombs Police Court was densely crowded by the curious. Hundreds of persons vainly sought admission, and were doomed to expectant watchfulness for the prison er’s arrival in the outward halls. At the hour designated for the commencement of the examination none of the dramatis per sons had as yet appeared on the stage. Seme time. elapsed, whiled away by the spectators in discussing the probabilities ot the defaulter’s escape from the penalty of the law, and recounting all the incidents of the case for the benefit of such of their acquaintances as chanced to be leas well informed. At length all speculations and narratives relative to the defalcation and prisoner were hushed by his arrival, and the crowd ipade way for Edward and his custodians, as they passed through l and proceeded toward the Judge. \ ouDg Ketchum was accompanied by detectives Gilmore and MacDougall and Chief John Young, of the detective force, who escorted him to the front, where he seated himself beside his two captors. In person the accused is a youth, about five leet seven irtfrhes in height, rather stout and well built, with dark eyes and heavy eyebrows, a high forehead and black hair. His appearance is rather prepossessing, though a round and blunt nose detracts from the aristocratic cast, of his features. He was simply attired in a fu 1 suit of dark blue broadcloth, and wore a black si uch hat, with which he toyed listlessly during the proceedings of the court. The pris oner, as he entered, exhibited some slight embarrassment, but greeted most familiarly a number of his acquaintances. Among these were some members of the firm of which he was once an honored member. One young gentleman, a relative of the accused, was apparently much affected, and shed tears Having bowed politely to the assemblage, the accused seated him self, appropriated a newspaper which lay within his reach, and perused its contents* attentively for a few minutes. His atten tion was only drawn from the text bv the voice of the District Attorney, who had previously been engaged in preparing the documents for presentation to the court. Ex-Alderman Charles D. Hall, who had been appointed to conduct the examination conjointly with Justice Hogan, occupied the bench. District Attorney Hall, open ing the case, said that he desired to pre sent two affidavits in addition to those al ready offered. He would, accordingly, read the subjoined documents, signed by Charles P. Leverich, of the Bank of New York, and detective Gilmore, such depositions being necessary to secure the further detention of the prisoner till the preliminary examination took place : John D. Gilmore being duy sworn, de poses and says : That he is a detective po lice officer, and oil the afternoon of the 25th of August inst., at house No. 223 West Twentieth street, in this city, he ar rested Edward B. Ketchum, now present, on suspicion of forgery in tbe third degree, and on searching the room then occupied by said Ketchum found the checks (marked as appears in the affidavit of Mr. Leve rich) ; he therefore, after reading said affi davit, charges that said Edward B. Ketchum, on said day, feloniously had in his possession, with intent to utter the same, the said checks, and with intpnt to defraud, and prays that he may be held to answer this charge. Charles P. Leverieb, of Newton, Queens county, Long Island, being duly sworn, deposes and says that on or about the 27th day of June, A. D. 1805, at the city of New York, in the county of New York, Edward B. Ketchum, now present, applied to deponent, who was then, as now, President of the Bank of New York, in tliis city, for permission to open u gold account with said bank for ChaL Graham, of No. 42 Exchange place; sa : d Ketehum paid deponent one thousand’dollars in the check of said Graham, whereupon depo nent furnished said Ketchum with a check book (called a gold ch ck book), contain ing checks numbered by printing, in red ink, from 58,501 to 59,000 inclusive; and said Ketehuin either took away said check book then, or afterwards sent for it. It is the impression of deponent, but he cannot swear positively, that said Ketchum then took away said book. Deponent says that no deposit has ever been made in the name of Charles Graham, or Charles Graham & Cos., iu said bank. Deponent says that he has examined twelve gold checks, numbered 58,002, 617 646, 645,672,682, 674, 757,758,687, 802 972 and that at the re pective dates thereof the parties purporting to draw the same kept with said bank respective gold accounts. Deponent says that signatures to each of said numbered checks are forgeries, so far as the names of Iheo. Ward and P. Bunker, or Bunder, are con cerned, and that the register and teller o said bank arc Theodore W ard and Paul Binker. Deponent also avers that he is personally acquainted with the handwriting of the firms whose signatures are subscribed as drawers of sa\d checks, and he believes the same to bo forgeries. Deponent also avers that the checks numbered as aforesaid, and now shown, are torn from the gold check book first named aforenaid, Bwom to before roe vbw 28fo dayof MACON.GA, WEDNESDAY. SEPTEMBER e, 1-65. The gold checks found in possession of the prisoner, and attached to these affi davits, comprised twelve notes for $5,000 each. T hey bore the signatures of Gen tel & Phipps, Robinson, Cox & Cos., Brockelmann, linger & Cos., Lockwood & Cos., Clark, Dodge & Cos., Dupre & Kretz, R. L Cully & Cos., H. D. Maynard &Du noch, Hallgarten & Herzfed, Kamrnier, Saur & Cos., and Nernigle & Cos. All the checks altered by the prisoner have been found. They are now held by Dabney, Munger & Cos., agent for the house of Peabody, the Bank of the .Republic, the Importers’ and Traders’ Bank, and the Fourth National Bank. The gold check book is in the keeping of Mr. Groesbeck. Mr. Hall, haviug made public the con tents of the above published affidavits, stated that they contained specific and pre cise charges, on which the prisoner should be held. He, therefore, moved that they should be placed on file, having once been presented for the consideration of the • >urt. He further remarked : I will state, as the prisoner is present, that this charge is in respect to tne gold checks that were found in his possession.— I give him this information early, that he may prepare himself. Next Monday, when the Grand Jury meets—l have conferred with the City J udge in regard to the sub ject—the information and evidence in re gard to the checks which were altered, will be presented. That is to say, the checks that were uttered will be the only ones then to be sett before the Grand J ury.— The checks to which I refer are nearly all in the possession of Mr. Groesbeck, the as signee of Charles Graham and Cos., and, from assurances I have received, entertain no doubt that the checks will be promptly before the Grand Jury. This exnminaton is on the charge I have mentioned, so as not to embarrass the other Edward B. Ketchum had listened at tentively to the reading of the legal papers. His cheek was blanched, and, spite of his efforts to maintain perfect composure, his bloodless lips ever and anon quivered in slight tremulousness. He even attempted to smile; but plainly the gloom of despon dency settled more deeply than ever upon his countenance. As the District Attorney concluded his remarks, the Justice turned to the accused : “Are you prepared to proceed ?” Ketchum was not attended by counsel, but rose promptly, and addressing the Court in a firm voice and with graceful gesture, he said : “I am unable to procure presence of counsel, and ask for an ad journment for a few days. I hopo the Court will grant it.” And he resumed his seat. The District Attorney replied : “I think it were better to adjourn the examination to Wednesday next. Meantime, your Honor, I have to make a motion for a com mitment. The first affidavit filed on Sat urday, was made on information and be lief. The affidavits just read are definite and positive. The prisoner should be com mitted to the Tombs.” As Mr. Hall uttered these last few words, the expression of Edward’s coun tenance changed. In an instant, no doubt, all the scenes of his life passed before him. He remembered the hours whiled away in his pleasant house, and then a darker pic ture was considered —a thought of the comparative comfort he had experienced while in the custody of the detectives at headquarters, and again he shuddered ot the perspective which lay before him, as he looked to his future associates, felons and murderers, torn by justice from the haunts of the lowest and vi est. And he hung his head and was silent. Tho District Attorney remarked, that should the detectives desire to have the custody of the prisoner temporarily there could be no objection made thereto. So a warrant of commitment was made out and the officers took the ycuth from the court room and led him out of sight of the gazing crowd. Eiwurd B. Ketchum, who had figured bravely in the boudoirs of the aristocracy, and stood forth in all the prominence o wealth among the financiers of the street, trod the stairways and threaded the corri dors polluted by the steps of the wayward and criminal. The officers conducted him to a common cell, known as No. 55, which henceforth he will share with another shun ned human being, Oram, who, not a month since, was accused oi having murdered a fellow man. Within those four walls was the defaulter confined, to brood over the consequences of his lolly and think of the past with bitter regret. Sombre and un communicative, he closed the inner door of the cage to conceal his shame from mortal eye. Previous to his retirement he spoke laconically to the atteudant physician, Dr. Hodgman, and then was lost sight of by the happier aDd worthier who turned upon grated windows and prison bars to seek the purer light ot day. The manner in which Ketchum was caught and turned over to the courts ot justice has been variously stated. The al leged true version of the facts has just trans pired. Ketchum has made no secret of his person, the second day after the dis covery of his frauds, and had passed in and out of his newly chosen abode daily. Iwo citizens, whose names have not transpired as vet, but with whom he had done busi ness in Wall street, saw and roeogmzed him, and traced him to the house in \\ est Twentieth street. They then called on Mr Buell, President of the Importers and Trader? Bank, and stated to him that they knew Ketchum’s hiding place. Mr. Buell went directly to Police Headquarters and communicated his information to Sent Kennedy. That officercaUed de teetive Gilmore, who was on ££**¥*•*** ***** ******** him to goin company with President Buell to ascertain the truth of the statements.— Ketchum was found, as it had been stated he would be, and taken into custody. Upon the first reception of the iftfoi motion Presi dent Buell could not believe it to be true, and Superintendent Kennedy sent the.offi cer as much to please the bank president as to get the prisoner, deeming the story an incredulous one Thus much for the manner in which the great forger was.cap tured. President Buell accompanied*him to Police Headquarters, and stood near him when he was searched. A geld pen cil case of curious pattern found in hi# pocket was taken up by the prisoner, who turned to Mr. Buell and said, “Mr. Buell, I think this i9 the most compact little pen cil I ever saw.” When the knife was taken from him he said, “Don’t t>e afraid to let me have that. I shall do myseU no harm I have much more to live for than die for.” During all this time the officers were search ing and preparing him for the vault into* which he was d.rectlv afterwards thrust.

Foote s support of any cause is oqual to iu dsatb SMtWSS#. - Dasparation The following is a passage from the very laughable tale of “Despa ration,” one of the rich articles which ah.* embraced iu tbe lit erary remains of the late Willi# Gaylord Clark. It is only necessary to premise that the author is a Philadelphia student, who, after a stolen fortnight amid thegai ties of a Washington season, finds himself (through the remissness of a chum) at Baltim.ra, on his way home, without a penny in his pocket. He stops at a fashionable hotel, nevertheless, where, “after tarrying a day or two, he finally, at the heel of a grand din ner, ‘ onne solus in the private apartment, flanked with ’abundant Champagne aud Burgundy, resolves |o disclose all to the landlord. Summoning a servent, he said: “Ask the landlord*to step'up to my room* ‘and bring his bill.” He cla'.ters down stairs laughing, and shortly after his master appeared. He en tered with a generous smile, that made me hope for “the best his house afforded,” and that, jast then, was credit. “How much do I owe you?” said 1. He handed me the bill with all the grace of a private expectancy. “Let me see—seventeen dollars. How very reasonable. But, my dear sir, tbe most disagreeable part of the matter is now to be disclosed. I grieve to inform you that at present I utn out of money; and I know, by your philanthropic looks, that you will be satisfied when I tell you that if I had it, I would give it to you with unquali fied pleasure. But you see my not having the change by me, is the reason I cannot do it, and lam sure you will let the matter stand and say no more about it. 1 am a stranger to you, that’s a fact, but in the place where I came fr >m, all my acquaint ances know me as easy as can be.” The landlord turned all colors. “Where do yi u live, and how “Iu Washington—l should say, Phila derphia.” His eyes dished with angry disappoint ment. “I see bow it is, mister; uiy opiniou is that you are a blackleg. You don’t know wh re your home is, you begin with Wash ington, and then drop ir for Philadelphia. You must pay your bill. * “But I can't.” “Then I’ll take your elotlios; if f don’t, blow me tight.” “Scoundrel, ’’ said A, ruling bolt upright, “do if you dire, and leave the rest to me.” There were no inoro word?. He arose deliberately, seized tuy bat, sod my only inexpressibles and walked down stairs. Physicians say that two excitement! can’t exist at the same time in oue system. External circumstances drove away, al most immediately, the confusion of my brain. I rose and looked out of the window. Tbe tmow was descending ’ as I drummed on tbe pane. Wbat, was Ito do? An unhappy sans culottes in a strange eity ; no money, and vlightly intimated. A thought struck me. I bad a large, full oloak, which, with all my other appointments, save those he took, the laudlord had spared. I dressed imme diately, drew on my boots over my fair drawtrs, uot unlike small clothes; put on my cravat, vest aud coat, laid a trveling cap from my trunk jauntily over my forehead, aud flinging my fine long mantle gracefully about me, made my way through the hall into the street. Attracted by the shiniug lamps in the portico of anew hotel, a few squares from my first lodgings, I entered, recorded some name on the book*, and bespoke a bed. — Everything was fresh and neat, every ser vaut atteuiive, all augured well. I kept myself closely cloaked, puffed a cigar, and retired to bed to mature my plot. “Waiter, just brush tuy clothes well, my fine fellow," said I, in the morning, as he entered my room : “mind the pantaloons; don’t spill anything from the pockets, there is money in both ” ‘*l don’t ace any pantal tons.” “The devil -you don’t. Where are they ?' “Can’t tell, I’m sure ; I don’t know, s’elp me God.” ‘ Go down, sir, and tell your master to come here immediately.” The publicau was with me in a moment. I had arisen and worked my face before the mirror into a heodisb look of passion. ‘ Landlord!” exclaimed I, with a fierce gesture, “I have been robbed. My panta loons and a purse containing three fifty dol lar notes are gone. This is a pretty hotel. Is this the way jou fulfill the injunctions of scripture ? lam a stranger, and have been taken! in with a veugeance. 1 will expose you at once if I am not recompensed.” “Dray keep your temper,” replied the publican. “I have just opened this bouse, and it is getting a good run; would you ruin ita reputation by an accident? I will find out the villain who rebbed you, and I will send for a tailor to measure you for your missing garments. Your money shall be refunded. Do yon see i hat your anger is useless ?” “My dear sir," I replied, *‘l thank you for your kindness. I did not mean to re proach you. If those, trevsers can be done to day, I shall he satisfied; time is more precious than money. Jfeu roar keep the others, if you find them, and m exchange for the one hundred and fifty dollars wbieb you give me, the contents are yours.'’ The next evening, with new inexpressi bles, and one bundled and forty dollars in my pocket, I called cn my guardian in Phil adelphia for sixty dollars. He gave it with, a lecture on collegiate dissipation, that I* •hall not soon forget. I enolosed the money back to my honorable laadkod by tl# iif* post, settled my other bill at old Crusty’s, the first publican, aud got my trank by mail.' Cold Foot-.. Hot Head. Action is life; inaction is death. Lifts, in the human body, i9 warm. Death is cold. V igorous bodily action causes tbo blood to circulate throughout every part of the body. The want of action cause# t, so to speak, to stand still. The blood goes most freely to those parts of the body or brain most exercised. If we swing the sledge-hammer like the blacksmith, or climb the ropes like the sailor, wo get large and strong arms and hands. If we row a bjat or swing the scythe, it is the same.— But if we use the brain chiefly, to the ex ’elusion of the muscles, we may have more active minds, but weaker bodies. The better condition in which the entire being —body and brain—is sy in metrically devel oped, requires the haunonious exercise of all the parts, in which case there will be# happy equilibrium with no excesses,Do de ficiency—no hot headache, no cold feet.— Headache is usually caused by a pressure of bl <ui on the brain; cold feet by a lim ited circulation of blood in those extrema ities. There is an old adngewhich says, “Keep the feet warm and the head cool,” which was no doubt intended to counteract a tendency the other way. Certain it is that those who sufier with hot heads usually have cold feet. One caus; of cold feet is wearing tight garters, which interrupt the tree circula tion of the blood. Another is the wear ing of tight stockings and tight shoes.— Still another cause is, using the lower limbs so little that there is nor enough blood in circulation in those parts to keep them worm. How- to Keep the Feet Warm. —l. W ear loose stockings, fastened to the drawers with buttons nr loops— not with strings or garters. Wear easy, well-fitting leather shoes—>spch as are made on the Plumer last, with solei not too thick nor too thin such as will turn water and keep the feet dry. 2. Should this not suffice, take a brisk walk, a dance, or a trot, all in your own room, backward and forward, hard as you can. for five or ten minutes, and you will soon pump the warm blood into them. 3. On retiring at night, take the feet in hand one at a time, and give them a thor ough rubbing, wringing and squeezing.— Continue this till they cry enough, when you may go to bed with warm feet. Re peat the exercise after washing all over in cold water, before dressing in the morning, adding a vigorous spatting of the feet with the naked hand. 4. Never retire with cold feet. Manage somehow to get them warm. If too ill to to through the exercises as above, fill u quart buttle wilh warm or hot water, and put it at the feet in the bed. Hotter do this than lie awake and suffer, for there will bo no sleeping till the feet get warm. 5. Keep away from the tin?, the furnace, and the stove as much as possible, and ob tain the necessary warmth by proper clothing aud the necessary exercise. This will draw the blood from the brain, send it to the lower limbs, keep your feet warm, and, in most cases, prevent the headache. 6. Bathing. We consider it not only essential to health, but a real luxury, to take a daily bath. Not a shower, a douche, a plunge, nor a souse, but simply a quick and gentle hand bath ; aud a pint ol suit cold wa*ei,in a dish or a basin, is enough'; the face, neck, arms, shoulders, and chest first, Then wipe dry with a soft towel. Then wash the body and lower limbs— simply wotting the skin is enough. Take another towel and wipe dry; then serve the feet in the same way. After this, with the hand, rub the entire surface briskly till the skin comes to a glow. The entire process should not exceed five minutes. Then dress, and you are ready for a short walk or for breakfast. The gymnastic which this practice gives is equivalent to so much hard though pleasant work ; and when accustomed to it, no one would willingly forego the luxury. Timid and tender persons will shrink from the thought of touching cold water, but they will sit all day .over a hot stove, shivering and suffering for the want of this very thing. A little resolution to ! , start would give them courage to go through. It would also prepare them for other duties, and fortify them against “talking cold” when they go out, and ol resisting diseases when attending in the sick room. Headache is sometimes caused by over eating, producing a foul stomach, impair ing digestion, and clogging up the system. The remedy for this is abstinence and a Turkish bath; or, let 44 Dr. Diet, Dr. Quiet, and Dr. Merryman” prescribe a period of rest for both body and brain. In conclusion keep the bowels open and free by proper diet, the skin clean, hnd the pores open by proper bathing, the feet warm by being properly clad, by exercise, and the free circulation of blood, and the head cool, free from aches and pains, by keeping other parts in action and in health. .4 Hint to the SoutJuni Black*. —Among our Southern newspaper items we find the statement that “an office to procure white labor from Europe has been opened in Mo bile.” Here is a Lint of warning to the Southern blacks.

The luxurious staW-ruoms of our ‘float ing palaces ” have been to some degree imitated by occasional “state cars ” but the rigid economy of room necear.rv to general travel by fail has h.therto Uffied all attempts for extending such luxuries to the public. A car ha a recently been con structed, however, which goes very far to remedy all these evils at once—a parlor car bv day and a sleeping car by o ght, superb in plan and rich in adornment* of native wood, inlaid and nerved—luxurious in damask and velvet and fine linen, glittering with mirror* and with burnished gold and silver—furnished with couch**, easy chain, mm bln tnp toilets, cloeeta, wardrobes, etc., and all tbe comforts of parlors, sta‘e-rooms, and even smoking apartment* —the whole w«Il ru tilated and yet secure from dust; sustain, and on a combination of steel and ru-focr springs, and rolling smoothly un i - sixteen wheel*, without noise, with out jolting, and without dust—ke.q» o* -I in the summer by the rapid cinulilton ot pure air, and warm iu the winter by means of a furnace, with registers in each . merit.
