ARREST OF TUE MAIL ROBBERS.

1t will be recolIected that Baltimore Cores
pondent, under date of December Both, wrote US
that accounts had been received of most extern
sive robbery of the Western Mail, somewhere in
the ncighborhood of Unontown, Fayotto CO.. Pa.
The robbery he stated, was commenced about
the middle OF November, and continued at inier
walls up to the 18th ult The pouch from
New York and all points east OF that city had been
taken eight times having very large remitiances
IN it from merchants and Banks in New York and
Boston. The statement was Immediately contra
dicied in the papeIs of the day-in some OF them
on the authority Of Post Masters; but the following
account the of the robbers, it will be seen
confirms i'll every particular the Information then
given by correspondent -
AnRrsr.-The Unontown, Pa. Democrat, OF
Friday ;as: says -four town is now the theatre
of great excitement and commoton growing out of
the arrest Of Dr. John E. Braddee, of tins place,
and three Of his supposed confederates, who are
charged with. robbing the mail Suspicion fell upon
MIR German the driver of the stage, who was ares
ted at the instance of Mr. Pitt, special agent of
the Post Office Department. German soon confess
ed the crime, and implicated DR.. Braddee, his
clerk Pinne, and person named Strayer, who
we're all arrested last night. guard was placed
over the house and uutbudn gs of Braddce through
the night and in the morning search was mad
which resulted in finding no less than nine mail
bags labelled 'yNeto York; which had been con-
cealed in the bottom of the prvy Further search
was then made, and sum of money exceeding
ten thousand dollars was found in the hay NOW
besides sundry apparatus for coming money--pls-
tolls, travelling trunks cut to pieces, &c &c. They
are all committed for want ofbail, which was pla-
ced al high amount. On the exam nat'on, Mr..
Pitt gave it as his opinion that the sum extracted
at this place in cash and drafts must exceed 100
600 dollars We understand other commitments
are contemplated.
! The Wilmington, Pa. Reporter, gives the follow
inc partculars as to the method of committing rob
| cries as,conIessed by German.
On reaching the Post Office in Uniontown,w
the coaches generally changed, ak the mails were
discharged except The Eastern Mail above referred
to this was retained in the coach, per arrangement
until driven into the yard when theaccompllces oil
the driver received it, and conveyed 1t to the of-
fee of Dr. Braddee, when, on being rfed of its con
! tents the bags were thrown into a privy apart
ment to the premises.
This was done on the nights of the 18th, 10Th,
23d and goth of November, and on the 9th, 18th
and 18th OF December.
