ARREST. OF THE SUPPOSED, tROBBER.r Z.
It will be seen by the following letter from
the postmaster at Hudson to the postmaster Of
this city that the great northern mail containing
the mails from Albany and the cities and towns
north, to this city, Of the 9th and 7th Instant,
and Thursday,) was robbed at Hud-

Sir: The mail from Albany, containing the
mails Of the 9Th and 7th instant for New York,
was brought by land to this city last evening,
and put in the mail carriers office. This morn
ing it was found in the river opposite the steam
boat Dock in this ciy,cut open, and many of
the letters robbed of their contents. We are
drying the letters. The papers are in bad con-
dition. | have written to the postmaster at
Albany to send some one from his office to ar
range the letters and make out post-blls, as
there is but one post-bil in the mail. t'f 'H Y

In addition to the facts of the robbery, as con-
tained in this letter, we learn from the postmas-
ter of this city that man named Hough, who
has been for several years employed by Smith
Hudson to Albany, was arrested on Friday, and
is now in custody. The evidence is very strong
in establishing the fact that the robbery was
committed by Hough, while the mail was on its
way from the mail carriers Office to the steam-
boat. l[at q N}httf{I
/ The mail bag was found in the river just as
the steamer Utica was leaving Hudson. II was
fastened with rope, which was identified as be-
longing to the stable Of Smith Il Miller, where
Hough was employed. 4 Hough was seen on the
sons, and was observed TO have a large pole,
with which he was pushing something down
into the water. Some one asked him what he
was doing. $ Fishing far eels2 Z, was his re-
ply. Ut will be seen that he made tolerably
good haul ~ $50
The letters had all been opened and ri1ed.
Not the slightest blame attaches to any person
connected with the Post Office Department, or 10
any one, so far as is known, except Hough. -
/ Immediately upon the receipt of the news at
the post office in this city on Saturday evening,
the most energetic measures were adopted by
Gen. Eaton, the special agent OF the Department,
now in the city, by despatching Mr. Ostram, the
vigiant steamboat agent, to Hudson, 10 convey
the rifled bags to this city. The whole affair is
in process of thorough investigation, by the

times, as we do now, in the name of more

of this city, their deep adherence of the
odious doctrine of reputation; their i'll
dignant and unequiyocM denial that 1t is
sanctioned by any principle Of the Dem

at war with its cardinal principle OF equal
and exact justice to all; and that we will
use every effort in opposition TO this now

as the faithful defender of the virtue, in
teligence, and patriotism of the people.

able Editor Of the Baltimore Republican
