its contents. 1t contained, the New
Orlcanslatters and packages Of that date;
in which it is supposed there were valua-
bic drafts, though not nucl, cash. As
soon as the mail was missed information
Of the fact was telegraphcd 10 New o.:
leans that payment on, papers OF that
date might be stopped. A mlsicry hangs
over the manner in which the robbery
was effected It supposed that The
mail was taken when thrown out oil the
stage at Opelii;a, by some one who
adroily concealed it under his cloak
The indrtalieable McGibbonv is one tho
trail and The matter will be terrctcd out,
if within the compass of possibility.

lions, says; "The Bible for more than a
thousand years has gone hand in hand with
civilization, science and law. II has never
been be!:ind tho age; nay, it has always
gone before it, like tho pillar Of tlre Leture
lsrcal in the wilderness. It's great
principles OF order, submission and lree-
dom, have been stability of States. Its
very presents among them has been say
Ing ark, refuge, and resi-. How far,
eve, beyond the present time CLEANS the
light orilat wondrous poor which describes
and promises true freedom and fra
tcriiIy, that divine and universal brothct->
hood of which the nations only dream. In
a word, the Christian Revelation is tho
true salt of The Garth, the vital lorce oil
communities and States. 1t alone rcgcn-
crates while it preserves, preserves whllo
it regcncratcs. There never, says Lord
Bacon, WAS found in any ago ol the world
either religion, or law, that did so highly
exaIt the public good as tho Bible"
