srRANoE OCCURRENCE.

siding near the scene of action to her friend
In this vicinity, is little the strangest we
have met With. Not having seen the letter,
VIE are under the necessity Of giving second
hand account of the affair, and may conse-
quently be in accurate in some OF our details ;
but the substantial facts are as furnished to
us. Being personally acquainted with the
writer Of the letter, we have no hesitation IN
expressing our belief Of her statements. Here
Is the strange tragic tale -
Some time since the sheriff of q county In
the southern part Of Mississippi had received,
in his Official character, large sum Of money
say fifteen OF twenty thousand dollars. Un".
der pretext of a, call from home for day OF
two, he placed the money in the keeping OF his
wife, whom he charged to take good care OF
il.
Late IN the evening ofthe day on which be
left home, stranger Of fgenteel appearance
called at the house, and asked permission to
remain over night. Disliking to entertain a
stranger during her husbands absence. the
wife Of the sheriff denied the request, and the
stranger rode on. Directly after his depar-
ture, however, the lady came to tho couclusion
that she had done wrong in refusing TO- take
him in. and sent a servant to recall him. The
gentleman returned, and soon after retired to
rest.
Late in the night, ths.e men disguised az
negroes, came to the house called up the lady,
and demanded possession Of the money leR y,
her charge. Believing that there was no help
for 4 che at length tsla thea that the -naoney
was in another roam, and that she would 90
and cpet n 6or them.
Il 50 happened that the money had been de-
posted in the room occupied BY the stranger
and ON her going for it she found him up and
loading his pistols. He had been awakened
by the noise, and had overheard most OF the
conversation between his hostess and the rob''
bets.
Telling the lady TO be Of good heart, he gave
her loaded pistol and instructed her to 60
out and present the money to one OF the rob.
bers, and to shoot the fellow whilst in the act
Of ofdoing so-on her doing which, he (the stran-
aer) would be ready for the other two
With GOODNESS and courage that It is dith-
cull 10 conceive Of In q woman, she did AZ d.
fected, and the robber who received the money
fell dead at her feet. Another instant, and TIT
strangers bullet had Aoored second robber
The third attempted escape, but was over.
taken at the gate by the stranger, and fol
under the thrust OF his knife!
As 5000 as practicable, the neighbors were
alarmed, and On washing the paint from the
faces Of the dead robbers, the one killed BY the
lazy proved to be her Gwn husband, and the
other two couple of near neighbors
Such is the story, in substance. Az before
stated, it comes in q letter from lady fol
whose credibility we are willing to vouch. I
error exists in the statement, either the wrl.
ter of the letter was misiniofmed OF we have
been most egregiously hoaxed.

MISSISSIPPI SPRINGS RAILROAD BANK
The statement which has been going the
rounds of the newspaper in this State gener-
ally, that the Mississippi Springs Railroad
Company had made an arrangement by
which the Girard Bank of Philadelphia
would redeem its issues to the amount Of
500, 900, has been fatty contradicted by the
Cashier of the Girard Bank, who says that
no correspondence in regard to an arrange
ment of the kind has ever taken place
Since this positive contradiction by the Cir
ard Bank, it is pretended that loan Of
800 900 was made by the Company, o.
John w. Tilford, Philadelphia broker, in
stead of the Girard Bank, and that, only the
securities by which Mr.. Tilford guarantee.
to pay that amount on the post notes, is de
posted in the Bank. This is widely diff
ferent from the first statement, and it would
be we'll for people to be cautious how they
receive post notes of the Mississippi Springs
Railroad Company, until they have posi-
tive assurance that they will be prompt,
met as they fall due.

FOR THE RODNEY TELEGRAPH.

Mr.. Editor:-Through the medium of your
paper, beg leave to communicate to our
fellow citizens, some observations on the pro-
priety of an early selection of two indiyid-
uals, fit and well qualified by natural and ac-
quired endowments, to represent our County
in the next legislature. Much of the alarm
ing embarrassments now felt by all our citi.
zens, must have emanated from ignorance,
inexperience and nvarice in our national and
state legislatures. In the first place, beg
leave, candidly and explicitly, to promise,
that |, sincerely deprecate all illiberal, un-
generous, neighborhood feaings, petty feuds
and animosities in Cod because all
unkind feelings and passions should subside
and give way to the permanent and undivi-
ded interest of the whole, at all County cleo
lions, without recurring to party or sectional
recrimnations,-for, in a calm, dispassionate,
and friendly spirit of mutual indulgences,
mutual kindness and forbearance, shah we
be able to adopt that plan of representation
best calculated to advance our interest and
prosperity.
1t has long been manifest to all correct
observers, that the industry Of ours, as well
as of all other countries, is necessarily divi.
ded into three great prominent occupations,
together with many others of less importance
but useful in their respective avocations -
The P PLANTER, the MECHANIC, and the
MERCHANT, are the, three great pillars
that support the great temple Of human in.
dustry, utility and c mfort Connected il
interest and closely allied, shock given t
/ any one of them, is Immediately felt by the
other two The industry and agricultua
skill of the Planter, furnishes sustenance
and raw materials for the support and con
venience of mankind; the Mechanic fabri
Gates implements of hnsbandry, and furnish
es the mechanical skill, science and labo
necessary 10 convert the raw material Of til,
Planter, into fabrics and commodities ne
cessary for the comforts and convenience o
all; hence the necessity of mechanical skill
and art THE enterprising Merchant, wit
his capital and his credit, steps forward /
aid the Planter and the Mechanic in trans
porting the proceeds of their industry to
3 domestic or foreign market, to be exchane
ed for other materials and fabrics for hom
consumption or for ready money, withou
loss Of timesor risk to either; hence the grea
utility Of the Merchant.
i The absolute necessity for wise law-ma
ker to have "a accurate knowledge q eacl
