More ROBBERS ARREsTED.-It is
said, that the police have arrested three
men in Baltimore supposed to be the
perpetrators of very enormous robheres
committed in that city, some time since
Notes and money to the amount Of S54,-
500, were found IN their possession.
OF For the bentf, of the planting in,
teres', who constitute our pillar of support
in This State, we opy from the Vicksburg
Sentinel, the following brief, but startling
exposition Of the tremendous and daring
frauds, practised by the cotton samplers,
and cotton presses Of New Orleans, on
the planters ofof Mississippi. BY these
frauds, i, seems that our planters are am
anaIly robbed Of thousands, to support IN
splondor, a band Of loaiiag swiudlers--a
4'l"rn'sof slattonaus harpies ba,tening on
'he rich proceeds Of the productive indus
Try Of the south. Most OF these pIunder>
srs are agents Of foreign houses, placed
among US for the ELI purpose OF swind!ino
ar unwary and too conlitng people.
Oar planters should profit by The timely
exposiIious Of the Sentinel, that thew may
aot lie caught by the deceptive bait held
out by tho robbers in smiles, to lure them
into their nets.
