u
A person named Head, who on Tues
day evening came to Boston as the tenn
porary driver Of the mail-cosch from Sa-
lem, and who was suspected of having
secreted the mail f,om that town, and
robbed it of checks to the amount of
$1,000, inciosed in letter to the CASH
Ter of the Branch Bank of the u. States,
has been pursued TO Newburyport, taken
prisoner and carried back TO Salem. He
acknowledged The offence; that he took
out the Salem mail from the large bag,
owing to some defect in securing it, and
that other persons are concerned with him
il the robbery. The marshal ftilis dis
trict has gone 10 pursuit of them.

A Mr.. Gilman, an accomplish of Head,
in the recent robbery of the Salem mail,
has been arrested at Newburyport, and
will undergo an examination at Salem this
day. All the letters aud part Of the
drafts have been found in hayloft, at
Newburyport, and have been sent TO Sa-

u ~ un'lsua' SensDI!lty has been excited
L IN the minds OF our countrymen by the
copper plate engraving OF the Declaration
OF Independence recently published, ae.
companledb by fac SMILES of the signatures
OF those Ii.ustrious patriots who framed the
document by which our independence wzs
announced to the world. We feel. while
we dwell on those signatures, as if we were
ushered into the immediate PRESENCE Of
characters 80 exalted. and we seem for q
time to participate in all the emotion which
they felt on the approach of so aw full cri.
sIs-Hostl!e armies, dsseiate fields, towns
and cities in conHayration--carnag and
death in ITS most frishtui forms appeared in
prophetic VISION On the one hand, aud more
than all, the complicated horrors, iguominy
and slavery were presented Tor ,hsir &C.
ceptsnce on the other; they deliberated.
they paused, they tremblcd, and at last so.
lemnly appealing to the God of battles.
they resolved that the United States were
and ought 10 be free, sovereign and indie.
pendent. These iIlustrious patriots. with
nVe solitary exceptions. have now mingled
with the common mouid-they survive onIy
IN their counlry's glory and in the reco!Iec-
ton OF a grateful people. But 1t would be
