BEAR, the Buckeye Blacksmith, it seems, is
again to be brought into requisition By the wings
for the coming contest. Hehas taken the field in
favor of Mr.. CLAY, and has started on haranru-
ing expedition through Kentucky, Tennessee,
&C. A gentleman who met him week or ten
days since on steam boat on the Ohio describe,
him as low, profane, and vulgar BLACKBOARD,
which description is fully confirmed by the part
enacted by him in the debauch of 1870. Too
lazy to work, and deferred by the penalties Of
the law from stealing, he probably betakes him
self to the business Of an iincrant orator in anti
ciPation Of the drinking, feasting and revelry,
in prospect, and which his character will ena-
BE him, to partake Of free Of expense. The
wings should be ashamed Of taking such 4 cea-
ts,re into their service, and some of them we
know are. For fellow who has been indicted
for horse stealing to roam over the country abus-
ing The best and Purest men Of the nation is in
the highest degree insulting. Such fellow de-
serves to be Pelted with eggs wherever he goes.

Great and Astounding Robbery


Yesterday and to-day, our city was astounaed
with the particulars Of a robbery more extensive
and daring than any that has yet startled the pub
lie mind.
The iron trunk containing the money and drafts
sent from this city TO the banks and brokers in
charge OF Pomery 4 Co. on Tuesday, was stolen
from the deck Of the steamboat Uiica, after the
arrival Of the boat in the city Of New York on
Wednesday morning The particulars are brief
ly as follows;
Tie trunk was in the immediate charge Of
Amasa Copp, now interested with or in the en-
ploy of Pomeroy & Co. 1t was taken from this
city by stage, and received on board the boat at
Coxsackie. Copp placed it on deck, and at
about 10 at night retired below to his berth, and
although it was suggested by Capt. Scott, that
he should put il in more secure situation, the
landings being frequent, he declined to adopted
the suggestion. AT 2 in the morning when the
boat arrived, Copp left the trunk on deck, and
proceeded to Pomeroy s Co.'s Office, saying
that the trunk was on board, and in charge Of
Mr.. Riggs, assistant captainj thence, after delb-
erately going to sleep, he proceeded at half past
A. M. on board the boat for Bridgeport, and
returned to this city and Troy by the Housatonic
train, on Wednesday night.
4. Yesterday, when the rumor of the loss Of the
trunk reached this city, several Of the parties in
terested proceeded to Troy, where Copp resides,
and subjected him to examination, which result
ed in nothing, beyond declaration ofignorance
on his part Of any loss Of the trunk, or of its
whereabouts, but an admission of the careless
hess and inexcusabe Indifference with which
trust of such magnitude had been discharged
He was not, we believe, taken at once into Gus.
tody, but proceeded with some Of the parties TO
New York where he will no doubt be arrested.
The following are the amounts of which ctr
banks and citizens have been robbed, in cash and
drafts:

The Bank cf Trov and the Commercial Bank
of Troy had also considerable amounts of cash
and drafts.
The trunk contained also Sl56,O00 registered
bank bills countersigned hy the Comptroller, for
the Union Bank and T.adesman's Bank in the
city Of New York. but not signed by the officers
Of those institutions.
Pomeroy 4 Co. aud the Banks offer reward
Of $4,000 for the recovery Of the trunk and con-
tents.
To the above we add the following, taken
from the St. Louis New Era received by the las,
mail, which is somewhat later:
Nothing further is known in relation TO the
robbery Of the trunk from Pomeroy's Express,
at New York. The Albany Argus estimates the
value Of certificates, bonds, cheques, money, &c.,
that were in the trunk at S400, 000-upwards Of
S5O,O00 of which was in money and available
funds.
Mr.. Copp, who had charge of the trunk, was
arrested but nothing elected by the examination.
Ten thousand dollars has been offered for the
discovery the robbers.

Democratic conventions have recently been
held in both Of these States, and both have de-
clared their preference for Mr.. VAN buren, for
the Presidency. Thus it goes. In the East and
the West, the North and the South, public opin-
ION is settling down with an ualooked for degrees
Of unanimity in favor Of the Ex- President; leav-
ing but little doubt that the Second sober
thonght' will repair, in November next, the iu-
justice Of the verdict Of 1870, BY which he was
expelled from Office.
Gen. CONWAY was nominated by the Arkansas
convention for Governor, and d. J. CHAPMAN
for Congress.

rance Company.

A eommitte appointed BY the Legislature Of
Wisconsin to examine into the condition Of thi,
institution, has made report, which will do bu,
little towards allayins the apprehensions enter
tanned BY many for the safety of its issues. The
majority Of the stockholders, it seems, are citi-
zens Of foreign government, and in nowise
amenable to our laws. $4,000 of the stock is
owned in England and Scotland, $sO, t26 in the
different States, and 81 S25 by citizens Of the Ter.
ritory in which it is located. The men who
manage the institution are acknowledged to Be
''men Of shrewdness," but it 10 from this shrewd.
ness the people have most to apprshend. The
report closes as follows:
From careful consideration Of the whole sub.
ject, your committee feel constrained to recon.
mend = repeal Of this charter, or such modifca.
ton OF it as shall efetmaly restrict the company
to such business operations as were originally de-
signed by the legislature.

Intelligence, says the st. Louis New Era ci

Santa Fe, that the people Of that State, and the
Governor, were much incenscd at the new regula-

intercourse between the citizens Of Foreign coun.
tries and the towns of Mexico. II is added, that
they were disposed to take side with the TEXANS
and to attach themselves to that Republic. The
