A Trick upon Stage Robbers.

There have lately been numerous robberies OF
trunks from the stages between Erie and Westfeld
A novel plan was hit upon last week by Mr.. S.
Clark, The agent at the latter place, for capturing
the rascals who committed the depredatons, The
Fredonia Censor says that on Thursday night last
as the stage was about TO leave West6eld for
North East, unbeknown to the driver or passen-
gers, he was safely buckled into the hind boot a.
mong the trunks, and thus placed in ambush, star.
ted off. The stage had proceeded but about a
mile. and was ascending hill, when C. felt some
body at work upon the straps. in the act of unloos
ing them. This being finally accomplished, and
the leather top thrown up by the robbers, CLARK
sprang out and seized one Of them, upon which
the stage passengers were alarmed. and came tc
the rescue In the meantime the other free -5oofers
took to their heels. The bird caught, whose name
is Dwight 0nley Of Westfeld. was then taken te
Westielc. and on Saturday was arranged on two
charges; lst.-Of having stolen trunks from the
stage at previous times and I'd. for the last attemp
at robbery. On the latter charge he was commit
ted for trial, and bound over in the sum of 900

No PRosPEcT OF PEAcE.-The Washington
correspondent of the Journal of Commerce,
under date ofJan. 3lst., writes:-"Thc papers
still talk about Mr.. Trist project of a treaty.
as if there was any such thing in existence
There is no project of treaty before the ad-
mnistration. Mr. Trist has forwarded no project.
He has no authority to act for this government.
1t is true that some persons representing the
shadow of government at Queretaro, made
some proposition toGen. Scott, looking towards
al, armisticc and a renewal of negotiations.
But, the propositions have come to naught,
and for reason, that even if terms were admis-
siblc, there is no government in Mexico which
could make or maintain a treaty. We hear
much about the effect of an increase of force
as if that would bring us peace. The entire
destruction and dispersion of the remains of the
government Of Mexico, cannot bring us any
nearer to peace.
