JAMES E. KEKR, 1 Chairman pounty Ex. Committee. March 6, 1872. ; X 4 COUNTERFEITERS ARRESTED.' Two young men of Cabarrus county, Daniel D. Petrey and Dau'U H. Harkey, were broagbt before U. S. Commissioner, Mr. W. HHowerton. UstvweeV ehirgjd with passing countefeit gold and silver eoin. Tbey were arrested in Concord, at which place tbey had passed a considerable quantity in small sums at different stores. Tho facts al leged against thein were easilr and abun dantly proven. Some of the spurious coin was found upon thein, and their guilt was subsequently established by their coufWioii. Tbey implicated others, and said they were hired to pass the money, aid were to receive fifty per cent, of all they got off. E. D. Ridenhour, a merchant doing business six miles this side of Albemarle, in Stanly Cot; was charged by these youug men of being engaged in the business : but when Riden hour waa arrested and brought before these and an examination had, they utterly failed to sustain their charges, aud Ridenhour was discharged. The young men, Harkey and Petrey, in default of bail were sent to prison in this place, where they remain at the pres ent writing. f It is conjectured that the spurious eoin in question was manufactured somewhere iu the north, or else that . the moulds or dies were prepared there. That representing silver coin is well executed, and where coin is the common currency of daily transactions, would readily escape suspicion. The gold is not so well done: it is deficient in weight, and color; and a very slight scraping re veals the base metal underneath the thin ITS DEFENSE.

AxxpuxcEMENT. W ith this issue my edi torfal connection with the Era ceases, after a cuiuinuajice 01 six monuis, The Ralegh Sentinel of March 28, says : We Fiiulinz that mv maimer f conducting the paper, and my views i .1 .u j i u. i ofnolicvl in apvral nart'JnL MA JL having taken the second sober thought, couclu- ed SO much riterence for law, and who with the; approval of a large portion of the paryl ded to OTCr l"e appropriation made by the IF EPHRA1UMBE JOINED, HIS IDOLS, LET .HIM ALONE. In order to ascertain if our impression was correct, that jhe Statesrille Amcri can, was about to depart from it political faith, we wrote at! editonal on the subject of "Uxder Which Kix, Bexzoxiax," asking if it coud be true that the American bad decided to take the fatal leap into the daik flood of Radicalism. We remembered the former faithful ser vices of that paper to our party. We remembered- how ably and efficiently it fought against lladical lraud aud Radical oppressbu. We remember ed how bitterli but justly it bad denounced the poltical enemies of North Carolina aud low zealously it had espoused Ibti cauj of the people against the Radical thieves aud swindlers, who have bankrupted the State and blasted its prosprriety. We remembered also how indignant the American had become in witnessing the atriiressious of Federal power, and the bvaaiou of North Cart), liiia by ared t'oop to arrest peaceable citizens, in defiance ot the Constitution and every principle of civil government. We remembered, all these things and more, and woudeied why it was that our respected cbtemporary and former faithful ally, should note give forth an uncertain sound. Its conduct strikes ' its former friend dumb with amazement aud morti fication. They cannot uuderstaud why it should be dilly-dallying iiowf" in this great crisis in our political fate. They cannot understand why so great a chang has so fuddei.'y "come over the spirit of! its dreaa." in auswermg our interrogatories, the American says : ''Our estcemeed cotemporary, the Raleigh Daily News, in a late istu , mauiieits great solicitude to learn the true positou of the American with regard to future co-operation with political parties of the country, aud bestows a high compliment for our past coarse iu lustaining the party with which the News will ciutinu to act, although we claim riocrit for what we honestly believed at that time, was riuht : nor. do we kiow that our aid was of any special importance, to be appreciated in such conplimentaiy terms by our worthy eotempoiry, who seems loth to part com pany. YVe can assure him that thi is not of our sacking, but has been iorced upon us, by '.lie course of the party that the News aud American had hitherto siu taincc', espesially by its leaders and office seekers ; and that, iu our opinion, public sentiment upon the question, is iu ad vance among the people, whose voice should be obeyed. ' The American claims no merit for what it "houestly btlieved at that time was right." Iu sther words, if we un derstand the language uecd, it now Dclievcs its former course in opposition to Radicalism was wrong. Th; italicim of of the word right was nvide by the American. Its denunciation of the Radical bas been each a strict constructionist, should advise a conrgo which he must know in his conscience to be wrong, aud "utterly untenable" in the light of reason, common-sense and the Constitution.

"WHO'S FOR SALE V We noticed at the time that It was published in the Raleigh Sentnel, aite wards copied ino the Salisbury jELcawin er, with approving comments, an article with the abore leadiog, intimating, if not charging that if "two old Whig pa pers, west of Raleigh," could net be purchased, in that case the Republicans would start an "independent paper at Raleigh." We do not know what "old whig papers, west of Raleigh," are referred to, but if the American is one of tbtm, then we pronouuee the authors of these article! fal sifiers of truth To our surprise, we see these calumuiating articles, copied : into the Salisbury Watchman, a paper that, hitherto we had considered above such unfriendliness towards any old Whig papers and their well-known Editors for honorable principle in the State; for we da not believe that there is an old Whig Editor in the State, whether he will now support Grant, or choose some other person for President, hut is as honest, honorable, and as worthy of public con fidence, s when he followed the lead of the Sentinel and kindred sheets. As to the Amkricaw, we will say that we hare not "sold out," but we hare re ceived flattering bids from more than two Democratic, office seekers, to "sell out" to each of them, but refused, for the reason that the Ameeicax Is not fwr sale to any man or party but will suppert whom it pleases for office. j Such au attempt at ku Uuxina and in timidation, for a difference in opinion upon public measures and the rights of i individuals, is not very creditable to the men or party that do it, and cannot re ceive the sanction of proper tbiokiur met This the slrougest evidence on the part of the leaders of the so-called Democratic party, that freedom of thought aud ac tion is to be suppressed ; that meu are not to be allowed to thiuk and act for themselves, al the hazard of being calm niated and charged with selling their principles. Did the Old Line Whigs and Democrats sell themselves to secession, when they have voted for a candidate of that stripe? If thy did, what was the price paid! Th-y kuow what they got! We well know what they feel when the blood mounts to the cheeks, aud indig nation at so foul au imputation, flashes from the eyes of these genuine lovers of " A I. "11 union ana political honesty, educated in the schools of Hejjrt Clay and Andrew Jackson. When the American has co-operated with the leaders of any party, we made no sale or transf. r to them of our principles, but claimed the privilege to sever the al liance at any time. This, we take it, is likewise thw line of conduct which every old Whig and Democrat in the State claims the right to pursue, if they shall deem proper. And who will dare sit iu judgment upon them for so doing ? Do the people lelong to the politicians, that they shall not thiuk, act aud vote as they like? If th-y do, tee have uever seen the bill of sale, by which '.he people have voluntarily deprived themselves of their liberties, and we pray God we uever may behold the parchment, with its red lines and broad seal for it will be writteu in blood !

North, to even obtain a respectable tni noritg by alliance ; in doing which, it Is reasonable to suppose that they will be required to surrender a portion, at least, of their Southern principles, and accept such terms as may be propesed to them. Will the old Whigs and Democrats be willinjr to be thus dealt by T or will they not rather choose for themselves theii party allies? This freedom of choice lies at thj very bottom of civil liberty, and is us antagonistic to party tyranny as auy thing can be. It is useless foi men to talk against tyranny, while they are en deavoring to rivet the adamantine shac kles of party upon the minds of the peo ple, aud appeal to prejudice and passii n to si cure the manacles as with bolts of steel.

Caldwell made tbe appointment of " CommiMioners " for the Penitentiary, the convicts were under good discipline, well be haved and submissive. The investigation into t lie origin of the late outbreak has brought to ight the fact, that the convicts acted under the conviction that the Directors had no suthority to hold them, and that if they would attempt to effect their escape, the Gnard would not be justifiable in shooting them. Information had been conveved to the convicts that tbe Governor did not recognize the Legislative Board aa hav ing any legal authority over them, and if the Guard should kill any who endeavored to es- oa(e that it would be an act of murder, for which the Guard should be punishable with death. These rumors havinc reached the ears of all the convicts, they immediately resolved on an outbreak at the hr oppo.rt unity, and on Thurs- lay evening I act, the inmates of the cells at tempted to carry out the plan agreed upon. With the fatal consequences of this attempt, our readers are already familiar. ill the people of orth Carolina hold Ciov.
