Es-Ahout the FIRST Of September last the mail
from Fort Des Moines to Keosauqua, in this state,
was robbed by some person unknown. A letter
containing six hundred dollars in bills, mostly Of
the State Bank Of Indiana was taken. Mr. Thomas
Ping, Postmaster at Ashland, Wapello county, was
arrested about ten days ago, on suspicion of hav-
ing been concerned in this robbery. He was ex.
amined before q Justice of the Peace on Saturday
last. and discharged, the evidence being insult
cient to warrant his being committed for further
trial. We learn that only one Of The bank notes
taken from the mail traced conclusively to the
possession Of Ping. AS he is however a merchant.
in considerable business, it is presumed that he
accounted for his possession of the note.
