THE ST. LOUIS RoBprRy.-About two
weeks ago the broker shop of Messrs. Nes.
bit x Co., in ST. Louis, was entered, and
robbed Of large sum Of fmoney-some say
$4,000. Included in the sum were some
Sl5,oOO, which Mr.. Spottswood, OF Chicago,
had temporarily left in TIE safe Of Messrs.
Nesbit. For several days no clue could
be found as to who the robbers were. Fl.
nally, however, they were traced across the
river, and Immediately Mr.. Spotswocd and
two officers started in pursuit. The result
is given at length in the St. Louis Republi.
can OF Monday. The thieves were over.
hauled at little town called Jacksonville,
on the Wabash, and about $1,000 Of the mo.
ney found with them. This was secured,
and the parties started back with their pri.
soDers-two, calling themselves Bill Jones
and William Sco,t-butth ofIic ers Who had
taken them were by this time so exhausted
that, while riding in the stage with the
prisoners, they fell asleep, and the rogue,
got away.

Texas and Santa Ee.

The Texas government recently organ
lied portion Of New Mexico into Judi
cial circuit, and sent out a Judge, sheriff
&C., TO administer Texas law overthe terri
tory. The people Of New Mexico, howe
yer, have no idea Of being sw allowed up by
the slave power, and, as viii be seen by the
! following, which we take from the CORE
| spond,nce OF the \. o. picayune, they sent
! the Texas commissioners home nth flea
in the ear.
The claim Of Texas to Jurisdiction over
all tha, part ct New Mexico lying east of
the Rio Grande, rests, we believe, Oh the
old San Jacinto treaty Of Santa Anna. 1t
involves the qaestion of freedom or slavery
ia the territory, and thus might embruil the
whole Union in the squnbble, were il not
that it has been carried before the supreme
cour. Of the Uni,ed States, where i, will
doubtless soon be settled
