THE KALLOCH IOROED CHfiCfe FOil $1,806;
The Doston Transcript ot April 27
says : .
On Saturday we copied a paragraph
from the Bee, stating that the RcVj Mr.
Kalloch had received from Dr4 Jayne,
of Philadelphia, a check upon the Gi
rard Dank of that city for $2,000, to as
sist him in defraying the expenses of
his late trial, fcc. ; Such was apparent
ly the case, but we have the subsequent
unpleasaut fact to state, that after the.
money had been drawn and disbursed
by the recipient, the check proved to be
a base forgery, evidently executed for
the purpose of deceiving and annoying
Mr. Kalloch and his friends:
Accompanying : the check was a let
ter, written in a handsome mercantile
hand, and couched in the following lan
guage: :
Philadelphia, Apiil 10, 1857.
Rkv. I. S. Halloch t -Reverend
Brother: Dear Sir I have never felt
more strongly the duty ol the Christian
sympathy than when consi Jering the
persecutions you have endured from the
adversary of soul, through ' which 1
trust God will sustain your natural body
and spiritual - strength) so that -the end
may be a triumphal issue for yotirs Ai
personally and for Christ's Church mili
tant ; but, my dear brothertI feel that
besides the sympathy and fraternal love
of all Christians, you may require ma
terial assistance, and I have therefore
concluded to offer you the enclosed con
tribution .to your financial assets a
Bmall portion of the means which Di
vine Providence has placed at my dis
posal. You will herein receive a check
nu the Girard Dank of this city, drawn
by D. Jayne & Son, and endorsed by
me and, for the purpose of your tnore
conveniently negotiating the same, 1
have requested my particular friends.
Myers, Clagborn & Cof to endorse the
same ; this is done to enable you, should
you deem it necessary, to avoid the pry- j
ing scrutiny of your enemies. Truly
and affectionately your brother in Christ,
D. Jatwe.
Enclosing a check for two thousand
dollars. " 1
This letter, with the Check enclosed,
was received by Mr. Kalloch on Tues
day last. . The check was in the usual
form of a printed blank, duly filled up
for $2,000, and purporting to be signed
by D. Jayne & Son, and endorsed by
Myers, Clanghorn fc Co. Having no
reason to doubt its genuineness, Mr.
Kalloch on Thursday passed the check
to Mr. C. Driscoll, who, after endorsing
it, drew the money from the Eagle Bank
and paid the sum to Mr. Kalloch. The
Eagle Bank passed the check for collec
tion to Messrs. Gilbert fc Sons. They
forwarded the paper to Philadelphia,
and on Saturday last received a tele
graphic message stating that all ; the
Philadelphia names on the check were
forgeries.
Another exchange says :
Parson Kalloch's check for $2,000
put his friends to a deal of. trouble. It
seems that he had it cashed before it
fairly warmed in his pocket, and spent
every cent of it at one single dash.
Consequently when the forgery wa,s de
tected, his sattelites were in a terrible
fidget, and actual' compelled to beg a
pony purse from door to door, before the
matter was settled. Kalloch is one of
your old fogies that is certain and is
equally as fast a financier aa he is a
preacher a biick. "
TITLES.
A Lfefcnant in th& service by the
na ms of Broom, was advanced to a Cap
taincy, and naturally enough liked to
hear . himself addressed as Captain
Broam. One of his frieud persisted in
calling him plain Broom, much to his
annoyance, and one day, having done
so for the fortieth time, Broom said :
"You will please remember, sir, that
I have a handle to my pme."
"Ah," said his tormentor, "so you
have well Broom-handle, how are
ye?" 1. . . .:??
TERRIBLB AFFAIR IX WAKE COUNTY, H. C.
On Thursday night last, 30th ulL
says the Raleigh Registert Messrs. Al
bert H in ton, James l'enny, and
Keith, three citizens of this county, who
were- acting as a patrol under the ap
pointment of our court, in the discharge
of their duties, visited the plantation of
Mr. B. K. S. Jones, about 10 miles from
this citv. where a negro wedding was
in progress. ' Ongoing into the kitchen
where the negroes were assembled.Wm.
Robertson, a free negro, who was sold
out of the jail in this city some tffne last
year for debt, assaulted Mr. ttinton with
an axe, splitting his head open, and in
flicting a wound upon him which it is
feared will Drove fatal. The same ne
gro struck Mr. James Penny with
shovel and knocked him senseless to
the ground Mr Keith was also knock
ed down, but by whom it is not known,
Messrs. Penny and Keith soon after re
covered, but we are pained to learn that
there is but little hope for Mr. Hinton
Mr. H resides about 4 miles from this
city, and is one of the most estimable
men in the county. Our citizens are
greatly incensed against the perpetrator
of this outrage, and a large number of
them joined Sheriff High . yesterday
morning, and weul out. in search of the
diabolical fiend: The negro, William
Robertson, is described as very black,
and about 6 feet in height.
ir.tS. Since writing tne above we
learn that it is reported that Mr. Hinton
died yesterday morning from his mju
ries.
TALLEYRAND AND ARNOLD
There was a day when Talleyrand
arrived iu Havre, on foot, from Paris.
It was the darkest hout of the French
Revolution; Pursued by the blood
hounds of this reign of teiror, stripped
ot every wreck of properly, Talleyrand
secured a passage to America, in a ship
about to Sail. He was a beggar and a
wanderer in a strange land, to earn bis
bread by dam labor.
. "Is there- any American staying at
your house 7 ' he asked of the landlord
of the hotel. "I am bound to cross the
water, and would like a letter to a per
son of influence in the New World."
1 lie landlord , hesitated - lor a mo
ment, and then said ; "There is a gen
tleman up stairs either from America
or from Biitain, but whether from
America or Eiigiaud, I, cannot tell.'"
He pointed the way, and Talleyrand
who in his life was a bishop, prince
and minister ascended the stairs. A
miserable suppliant stood before the
strangefs door, knocked and entered.
LJn the far corner of the dimly light-UA-oom
sat a rilan of some fifty years.
his arms folded and his head bowed
upon his breast from a window di?
rectly opposite, a flood of light i poured
upod his forehead His eyes looked
from beneath the down cast brows, and
upon Talleyrand's face with a peculiar
and searching expression. His lac-
was, staking in outline, the mouth and
chin, indicative of an iron will His
form, vigorous with the snov 'of fifty.
was clad in a nark,, tut rich and dis
tingiished costume.
I alieyrahd advanced stated that
he was a fugitive and under the im
pression that the gentleman befdre him
was an American, solicited his kind offi
ces f . -
He potlred forth his history in elo
quent French and broken English.
"I am a wanderer-1 an "exile. I am
forced to fly to the New World without
friend or home. : You are an American.
Give me then, 1 beseech you a letter to
some friend of yours so that I may be
able to earn my bread. 1 am willing
to toil in any manner a life of labor
would be a paradise to a career of lux
ury in France. You will give me a
letter to one of your friends? A gen
tleman, like you, doubtless, has many
friends." '
The strange gentleman arose.' With
a look that Talleyrand never forgot, he'
retreated towards the door of the next
chamber, his eyes looked still from be
neath his darkened brow
. He spoke as he retreated backwards
his voice full of meaning
"I am the only man from the New
World who can raise his hand to God
and say, I have not a friend not even
one in all America." . .
Talleyrand ueveT forgot the over
whelming sadness of the look which ac
companied these words.
"Who' are you?" , he cried, as the
strange man retreated 10 the' next room ;
w - you r narlie ?" , , : " ; . , T ' '
"My-name," he replied, with a smile
that had more of mockery than joy in
its convulsive expression, "my name
is Benedict Arnold !" ......
- He was gone. Talleyrand sank into
a chair gasping these words:
"Arnold, the traitor .
- Thus, you see, he wandered ? over
the earth likeanotherCain, with wan
derer's mark upon his brow.
' THE "JOHN JOHNSONS."
A correspondent ot th Christian
Times who attended the lastv session of
the Hudson River Association North,
where Dr. Welch. was Moderator, states
that during the session there was au
interchange of views oh the permanen
cy of the Pastoral relation . After some
discussion of the point, brother L
arose and related the following anec
dote : ' 1 ';..v..:;;:
" "When our Moderator was Pastor of
I u aii . . i .
buiuiui ui uauy, a oroiner minister
from the " South whoVas in quest of a
location, called upon our : Moderator,
and wanted some advice. .'Having sta
ted his business, Dr W. inquired, 'why
not remain where you "have labored?"
; Oh 1 have a man in my church by
the name of John'Jobnson, who causes
me much trouble."
The.Dr replied, "I have a John
Johson m my church, .and have had
for a long time, but 1 do not think it
best to leave on that account." ,
Next the brother went to New York,
and sought direction from Dr. Cone.
Having stated his object to Dr. Cone,
he was aiked
- "Why not stay where you are ?"
"Oh1" Ihave"a man in my church
by the name of John Johnson, who is
very troublesome."
"I have always had two or three
John Johnsons in my church," said Dr.
C, "but I never mind them."
Not yet quite satisfied, the brother
went to Boston to consult Dr. Baldwin
Having stated his errand, Dr. B. in
quired "Why not stay where you are?"-
"I have a man by the ..name of John
Johnson in my church, who makes me
a world of trouble." : y-
"Well," says Dr. D.,V"I have some
John Johnsons in my church too, but 1
remain notwithstanding."
Our opinion is, that these John John
sons are a perfectly ubiquitous race;
and he who expects to be entirely rid
of them, must needs go out of the world.
DANGEROUS
The Claiksville
VISITORS.
Tobacco Plant,
says : " -
A collection of Gipsies, some forty in
number, consisting af men. women and
childrenpassed through Clarksville one
day last week. 1 hey had been in tne
neighborhood for several days, and went
hence in the direction of Boydton.
Theywere traveling in wagons and on
horseback, having about hlteen horses
ui all. We are informed, that mey
make it a business to swindle every
credulous person they meet with out of
as much tnOney as possible ; as an ex
ample, that ihev induced Mr. Mathew
Avery, residing a few miles across the
Roanoke, to believe that they could
cure him of a very dangerous disease
under which he was then laboring.
And that they thus swindled him out
of all the monpy he had some twenty-
five dollars. How they live, aud sup
port such a caravan of horses while
corn sells at five dollars a barrel, and
hay at two dollars per. hundred pounds,
we cannot imagine, except Upon the
supposition that they finger a great ma
ny things which don t belong to tnem.
But the most dangerous feature in their
character is, that tbeyyloubtles tamper
with ohr slaves; telMng their tortunes,
and inspiring ihem with false hopes of
manumission, and false ideas of liberty.
Thev are a'dancerous set of vagabonds,
and . to say the least, ought not to be
permitted to remain in the Southern
States. Let them be 6ent to the North,
where they can find congenial compani
ons.
TALLEYRAND'S TEARS.
1832. "De Ror said, that in society
lately the conversation turned on the
horrid scenes which a field of battle
presented on the following day. Talley
rand, who was present, described that
which he had himself seen alter the
battle of Austerlitz, which field he visited
from Vienna in a carriage with Marmont
soon after the victory. He concluded
with saying Marmont plehroit a chatides
larmes, dtiant a moi je vous assure que
cela ne me la i soil aucun effet'
It is stated, however that Talleyand
had been seen to cry .
"Alvauley said, that he had hkcwise
once seen Talleyrand melted into tears,
and the occasion of it was rather
. a a . " a
curious. A nttie more man a twelve
month ago, in the House of Peers, the
Marquis of Londonderry, in th heat
of a violent attack on the foregin policy
of the present whig ad ninist ration, made
some very personal allusions to the pri
vate character'' of Prince Talleyrand,
which as ambassador to a foreign court
he might have omitted. 1 There was
only one opinion ou this subject ' in the
House, and the Duke of Wellington rose
immediately to ; protect his veteran
friend, finishing his speech with many
handsome compliments to the Prince on
the following day, and found him peru
sing the debates of the preceding-night,
and, though much hurt at the attack of
Lord L.. still more affrcted by the friend
ly intervention of the Duke. He ex
pressed his. gratitude, in the warmest
trms, while the jears ran down his
cheeks, and' then added : J'en suis
d'autant plus reconnoissant a M. le Uucy
que c'esteJe homme d'etant dans le man-
de qui ait jamais dit du bien de mou' "

A CERTAIN DISEASE.
When the misguided and imprudent votary of

painful disease, it too often happens that Bnill-tim-ed
sense of shame, or dread -of discovery, deters
him from applying to ihose who, from edueation

whence no trSveller returns. "To such therefore
Dr. Johnston pledges himself to preserve the most
inviolable secrefy; and, from his extensive prac

hecan confidently recommend a safe and speedy
cure to the unfortunate victim of this hnrt-il mZ.
