A RASCAL ABscoxpED.-The New
York Tribune of the 9th instant, has
the following:
Much excitement was caused III
Wall street yesterday by the non APP
pearance Of Mr.. Shipman, the well
known agent OF the brokers. s car
rier betwee Philadelphia and New
York. lie left Philadelphia on We'd
nsdav night, and was in the cars just
before they reached Trenton. since
which he has not been seen. 1t is
not known how much money he had
with him, but report states thatlt was
less than usual. Another report.
however. states that he had 100000
in gold from one of the banks. Mr..
Lowndes went along the line OF the
road last evening 10 endeavor to DIS
cover some traces of Shipman or MS
m~urderers. Mr.. ShiPman has a wife
and several children, and has accu-
mulated some property. having been a
carrier for the last twelve years. He
enioyed the'most unlimited confidence
of the brokers, and, by his many So
cial qualities, made friends of all who
knew him.
LArER-THE MYSTERY SOLVED
We learn by this mornings tram
from Philadelphia, That Mr.. ShlPman
is not murdered. but that he is on hIs
wav post heate for Texas, wit, about
S19o.ooo in his possession! He left
Philadelphia as already stated. at 5
o'clsck; Tuesday evening. and on
reaching Trenton left the cars, and
going to Il livery stable. told the keep
er (who OF course knew him vel, and
suspected nothin.) that he had or
COTTON a very valuable package and
must return TO Philadelphia lnmedl-
a,ely. He got horse and vehicle
and arrived in time 70 take the II
O'Clock train for Tiltsburg. But as
h, stepped into the cars he saw the
President of the Mechanics Bank at
Philadelphia. vino said at once.
aWhy, Shipm1n, where are you gong
at this time of night?' He carelessIy
answered that he wished to take a
ride: but left the cars and waited Tor
the train at 8 o'ciok on Wednesday
morning. He entered his name AT
the office as r. Johnson. and from his
perfect acquaintance with the r"ut
and facilities for travelling, will I'M
doul,tedlv be able To reach Texas
some days in advance OF anybody
that NAV undertake the pursuit. On
Tuesday he took from this city about
$4,000 in French gold. with instruc-
ton TO deposite it in the mint a Phila-
delphia. Instead of doing this, he
exchanged it for Treasury notes
with which he could Of course more
conveniently travel. He has lett a
wife and four children in Philadelphia
and the amount ofmoney with which
he has eloped is variously estimated
at from $4,000 to Sl3o,OOo.
