committed on this bank, by person named
Green, at Little Falls, (where the bank is To-
cated,) and person, name unknown, said to
be from Baltimore, through the agency OF a
young man named Brown, clerk IN the
bank. The amount of funds Of which It Is
said the institution was robbed was $1O'UOO
in notes of foreign banks, $25y ZOO or $SOOOO
in notes of the Herkimer County Bank, and
about $1,000 in specie. The robbers made
their way to this city, where they arrived
yesterday morning: finding there was no
day boat, they hired carriage to take them
to Hudson, in the hope, no doubt, of making
the best of their way to Boston by the Hud-
son and Berkshire, and other railroads.
In this, however, they will be disappoint-
ed, if we are right in supposing that no tram
leaves Hudson for the east on the Sabbath.
At all events they would not be able to get
beyond the bounds of the State by Railroad,
supposing they reached West Stockbridge
from Hudson. A party of some seven or
eight persons. arrived here yesterday after
noon from Little Falls, in hot pursuit of the
fugitives. They divided company here,
some taking the road TO West Stockbridge,
for the purpose of heading them, should they
have taken that direction from Hudson
others with the night boat to New York
AS the pursuers are so close on the track of
hear Of the arrest of some of them to-day.
While in this city they staid at the City
Hotel. We are told that brother of Green's
stage driver in this city, accompanied the
fugitives in :heir route to Hudson. The rob-
bers were no doubt under the impression that
the robbery would not be discovered until
this morning at the opening of the Bank. A
note however left by the clerk, Brown, in his
brothers. bed room, and found by him yes
terday morning, authorizing him to draw the
balance of salary due him BY the Bank, cre-
ated some suspicion in his brothers mind
that all was not right. He showed the note
to Mr.. Story, the Cashier, and communica.
ted his suspicious to that gentleman. An
investigation at the Bank followed and the
robbery discovered.
Arrest of the Bank Robbers.-As we antici.
pated, the robbers of the Herkimer County
Bank have been arrested. They were brot
to this city yesterday afternoon by Deputy
Sheriff John D. Livingston, who, with Mr..
Charles Webster of this city, went in pursuit
of the fugitives on the evening Of Sunday,
with warrant for their arrest. Mr.. l.. took
the road from this city to Sandy Hill, think
ing, and as the result proved, correctly, that
they would make tracks for Canada. Al
Sandy Hill, where they arrived yesterday
morning, nothing could be heard Of them or
of the wagon in which they left this CITY,
At this place they were joined by Mr.. Burch,
the Deputy Sheriff OF Herkimer county, who
was also in pursuit, but without success
Burch, leaving Livingston and Webster at
Sandy Hill, crossed the river at that place
and took the road towards Saratoga Springs
About three miles from Sandy Hill, Burch
met a stage which had left Saratoga that
morning, in which he discovered the fugi
tives he went with the stage to Sandy Hill,
where they were arrested BY Livingston and
searched, and the entire Of the money, ex-
cepting $500 or $780, recovered. 1t appears
that the fugitives left this city on Sunday
morning in wagon hired at the livery sta.
BILE of Mr.. Jew ell, and driven by a brother Of
one of the fugitives, (Green.) They took
the road to Schenectady, thence to Saratoga.
and were proceeding towards Sandy Hill,
when one Of the horses in the wagon fOun-
dered, and they were compelled to abandon
it. They walked 10 Grswold's tavern, about
six miles from Sandy Hill, where they pass-
ed the night. From this place they took the
stage, and were arrested as before stated. at
Sandy Hill, at 8 o'clock yesterday morning.
On parting with the driver (Green) they
gave him two bundles of notes of the value
of $3.50 each, in addition TO which his BROTH
er gave him some $50 or $50. The driver
has not vet been met with. but he cannot
long avoid the pursuit making after him.
On their arrival in this city they were Ia.
ken to the Jail and gave their names Aaron
C. Brown, clerk of the bank, Tobias T.
Green, printer, and w. G. Francisco or Fran
discus. They were examined before the
proper authorities and are now confined in
separate cclls.-Albany ADJ, Sept. %.
Green, the driver for the Herkimer County
Bank robbers in their hurried excursion from
Albany to Saratoga before their arrest, has
been found and committed to Jail for further
examination. He confessed that the robbers
gave him $500 as a present, and $3.50 more

SAVANNAH. Sept. 25.
From Florida.-By the arrival yesterday
of the United States steamer Gen. Taylor,
Capt. Peck, we have the cheering intelligence
1T the coming in of sixty Indians, and the
prospect of upwards Of two hundred more,
they having promised IL meet Col. Worth al
Pease Creek on the 22d inst. These Indians
belong to Hospitaki's band. and include the
whole of this indomitable Chiefs people.
The prospect of closing this long and in
terminable war brightens every day under
the auspices of the gallant Worth. The blow
was long since struck by Col. Harvey which
soon will give peace to Florida, and we conf
IDENTIFY believe, that with the commencement
of the new year the long desired result will
be accomplished.
