SrEALNG.--We often see articles ofour own put
in other papers original matter, andit sometimes
vexcs Us to be treated SO cavalierly and some
times amuses US. But when we saw the other
day in a religious paper, the Ncm.Engtand Pr.
ritan, our condensation Of the Post Office and
Navy Reports, with our condensed portions
IsadsG as editorial we confess were little
surprised. How paper protesting such strict
integrity could lead line of matter not its own,
without giving credit for it, strikes US as rather
5trange-and to open the article by quoting our
own language, The Report of the Postmaster
General is very long, and hence we condense
rather too cool. To hide the theft, or to escape
the charge fit, the first part Of one report and
the latter part Of the other arc cut off
r Tbs Troy Wing gives the following sketch
Of Alr. Copp, now under arrest Ill this city, on
suspicion of having robbed OF connved at the
robbery of the trunk on board the steamer Utica
Mr. Copp Is a native otWakeheld, New-Hamp-
shire, and has long been resident Of this city
He was fos several years clcTl. III the brokers'
o!hce Of Calder S: Co. which he left to enter INTO
tho service of IIarnden g. Co. When Harnden
* Co. withdrew from the river, MT. Copp, IN
connection with NJ, Pullen, established Pullen
& Cops n. Y, Albany and Troy express--an
agency which has enjoyed the unlimited conf
dence OF the hank directors and business men OF
the cities which It connects.
During the present year, Pomeroy & Co. en-
tered into al agreement with Pullen & CopP, by
tbs terms of which the latter were employed as
the messengers of the former between Albany
and New. Xork-transacrng at the same time
the business OF their New-Nork and Troy cX-
press on their own account.
Mr. Copp has always been considered a man
of the strlctest integrity; as remarkably eau
tious, and particularly careiu! OF all property en-
trusted TO his charge. In this community no
suspicion oil a want OF honesty rests upon him.
In the unfortunate transaction now under notice,
he is regarded only as unpardonaoly and unac.
