EXTRAORDINARY YILLANY.

A letter from Franklin, Ala, TO the Char
lesion Courier, states that on the lst of July
gentlemen oil Harris county, Georgia nam
ed Bilingslea, was robbed of eight thousand
dollars of American gold and four thousand
dollars of State bonds; and that the same
handful had, on the 10th of July, robbed a.
mother gentleman Of Il ancack CO. Ga, Mr.
Watts, Of 1900 dollars, principally in Amer
lean gold. 1t is said that the Williams gave
morphine to the families where the robbery
occurred, by throwing it into their drinking
water. Soon after the news reached Fort
Gaines, on the 29lh July, two men passed
through, who answered the description oflhe
robbers, and went on to Alabama. They
were pursued, and found at the house of Gen.
Irwin, in Alabama, who had after entreaty
consented TO let them remain the night. The
two robbers were Dr. Z. A. Roberts, and
the other supposed to be VIM. Eppes (the
murderer of Mr. Adolphus Muir, of Dinwid
die CO. Va,,) though he called himself John
Jacobs. When ordered to surrender, the
latter drew revolver and threatened to kill
any one who advanced upon him. Gen. IT.
win then order two very large and fierce
dogs TO be let loose. Eppes than gave up
MS pistol anu ~ tudiI6f GUSu-
ing between the two parties, who were in
pursuit, as to tie right to secure the prisoners
the reward being $4,000 dollars Eppes en-
deavored TO escape on his horse, and was on
the verge of succeeding, when one Butler
rode up and shot him in the head, at least 7
buckshot taking affect. He fell from his horse
never spoke again, and died in about two
hours.
''During the great excitement alter Eppes
was shot, DIR. E. A. Roberts got off his horse.
and went up TO Eppes, pulled off his finger
ring, took out his gold watch, his collar and
collar buttons, purse and roll of money, on
the (bank ofDarian,) and put it in his pocket
the ring, collar, and collar buttons have not
since been seen; the watch was recovered
from Roberts when he was searched after ar
irving at Fort Gaines-the supposion is that
Eppes' name, or initials, were either on the
collar buttons, or ring. On examing Roberts
after they got TO Fort Gaines, they found on
him and in Eppes sadlebags, near $4,000,
principally American Gold-26 skeleton keys
2 lock pickers, several pieces of spermaceti
