from Rochester to Buffalo arc quite too high

TIE COLUMBUS RoBBERY.-The City OF Colum-
hrs Ga. seems TO have been thrown INTO state
Of most unusual excitement BY the recent robbery
Of the office of the Insurance Company, already
mentioned After the discovery OF the package
containing $4,000 OF the money IN flower pot
of Thomas c. Mckeen. he was arrested. and tiie
ncyt day taken out of the City as he sad he could
not make any disclosures in the presence oi 'he
excited multitude. A r,lnor immediately became
rfe that the officers of the Company intended to
compronise the matter and release hun on condi-
ton that he should restore the money and reveal
his accomplccs A band of citizens immediately
pursued the carriage and brought hlm BACK. l. nc
next morning he was examined and comntsca 10

self by alleging that he was told BY Mcheeh
where the money was while cndeavonng TO CON-
promise the matter according to the wishes OF the
officers. This. however, not satisfactory,
and he was required to give bail IN the sum OF
81 900. 1t appeared that Mexican had gwen
two gentlemen an order on Lewis for the surrcn-
der Of the money, and that Lewis had accord
ingly pointed them to the place where SJi,ooo
was concealed On Monday morning great
number of the citizens assembled to continue the
investigation and in the evening William N.
Jackson, who had been arrested and discharged
en- Saturday, was again taken into custody, and
at once gave full account of the robbery, I'M
plicating Allen G. Bass, the Clerk OF the Bank,
and one of those who had been seized and locked
in the vault. Bass was Immediately arrested,
and at the latest dates the investigation was pro-
cccding. These men, with negro, were all who
had been arrested.
II. IT., Tho 81
state that a large number OF traders intend to
leave that city early this spring for Santa tc-
Many Of them arc Mexican merchants and others
citizens of the United States. Considerable alarm
wos created by letters from authentic sources at
jackson, Mo. stating that number OF desperate
characters residing the MEXICAN frontier had
lci, for tho boundary line, where they expected TO
be lolncd by band OF men of like character from
Texas, for the purpose of attacking and robbing
the traders. Ii was believed that such an attack
might well be apprehcndcd; and Immediately on
the receipt of the information Col kcarncy, the
commander Of the division Of the L. S. Amy at
that post, wrote to the Secretary of War urging
him TO procure the consent of the Mexican Minis
ter that an escort of L. S. troops might attend
the company across the frontier into the Mexican
territory, until they should be out Of danger. 1t
was supposed that permission would be readily
given, as without it the expedition would be highly
hazardous. The presence of Mexican merchants
among the traders would probably justify an at
tack Ill the view OF the Texan robbers, and little
discrimination III such case would be made.
SING SNG.-A correspondent Of the CONNER
cial conlradicts the statement contained III
several of the city prints, that vicious convicts
have been employed in the Sunday School at
Sing Sing. The Herald and Sun have stated
that Edwards and Michele were thus employed
this is expressly denied, and the writer says that
no one, no, believed to have become pious, is en-
gagged as teacher. The inspectors say that till
teachers can be procured from the village, which
cannot now be done, the prescn. system will not
be abandoned.
IL In speaking of the horid murder OF a
woodchopper in Arkansas by man named Stew
art, recently published, the Louisville Journal
says that can relate story OF deed scarcely
less horrible perpctrated some years ago III that
State by man who is now one OF John Tyiers
oftice-holders." The facts are promised soon.-
By the way, the Pcayune says that the story of
the murder By Stewart is said TO be greatly dis
torted. The version of Stewards friends is that
the woodchopper made the assault, that Stewart
defended himself as long as he could bat was
finally in self defence forced to shoot him and that
he then aed-lcaying the body as it was. We
hope Tor the honor OF humanity that this modified
statement may be true.
