Mr.. HENRY SHuLTz, one of the plaintiffs in the
great southern bridge case, has proved himself to
have been one of the most useful men in that part
Of the Union BY his enterprise structures of great
public advantage and value were more than a
quarter of century ago erected the facilities OF
internal communication increased and the public
authorities of South Carolina and Georgia testified
their respect and confidence towards him in a
ner the most signal and complimentary. We take
pleasure in transferring to this paper editorial
article from the Georgia Jefrsonian in regard to
this public spirited gentleman Union.

HENRy SHULTz, THE BANK, &c.--We copy the
annexed article from the Savannah Republican. OF
public that of the largest and best fiscal inst-
tutions of the State is in no danger of insolvency,
and that its bills continue TO be worth their face in
hard dollars. But there are always two sides to a
question; and while we rejoice that the fiscal con-
Germs of the State will not be interrupted by the
decision of the Supreme Court, cannot altogether
shut up our bowels of sympathy for Henry Shultz.
We have known him long, and have ever known
much for Georgia, and Georgians-particuarl
those about Augusta-should feel grateful for his
services. That he has been wronged somewhere
yc have no doubt; where that wrong is we know
200 little Of his affairs TO say to judge. We do
not fix that wrong upon the bank, nor do we fix il
anywhere else, but we do not believe Henry Shultz
would pursue an interminable lawsuit unless he
was fully satisfied that others held what he was in
equity and justice entitled to.
"THE BANK OF THE STATE OF GEoRoIA.-Letters
received in this city fully confirm the correctness
of our first impression in relation to the trial of the
Augusta bridge case which has Just been had before
the Supreme Court of the United States, at Wash
ington. One Of these letters, from Major Porter,
the president of the bank, dated at Washington on
the 9th instant, states that the court cannot deliver
opinion short of eight ten days, reckoning
from Friday last. Mr.. McAllister, one Of the coun-
sci employed by the bank, writes: Il cannot doubt
success though zoe may not get decision for three

RoBBERY A CALIFoRNIAN.-D. Campbell
turned to the city on the 10th ult, from California
with quantity Of the sacred dust, which, for
curity, he kept to the number of twenty nine and
half ounces, wrapped up and in his pocket. Be-
ing on Sunday afternoon in Basin street. First Mu-
nicipality, he was met by person named McClen-
nan, who had returned with him from the land OF
digging, and was soon afterwards joined by third
person, sometimes named Charles Moor, and at
other times George Harrington, who was stranger
to Campbell, but appeared to be on intimate terms
with McClennan. He handed to the latter small
black ball, coming from his (McClennan's)
brother, and, after word or two, left them TO get
little refreshment and with the intention of re-
turning. McCennan careessly opened the black
ball by unscrewing II, took from il half dime,
shut the box, and laughingly proposed to Campbell
to bet Moor he did not know where the half dime
was. Campbell innocently agreed; Moor returned,
and the bet was made, not for two dollars but for
twenty, which sum Moor staked in bank notes.
Campbell had no paper, and pulled out his bag of
dust. Hardly had the treasure emerged from his
pocket, when Moor snatched it, and dashed down
the street as If nest Of hornets were after him.
Campbell followed at the same pace, crying "Stop
thief" at the top OF his voice; general race en-
sued, and a cloud of dust-the street article-was
kicked up, in the midst of which Moor rushed into
the yard OF grocery store at the corner of Frank
lin and Custom house streets, where he found him.
self caught in a trap, the walls of the yard being
too high to be jumped, and the only other Of
| exit being the alley through which he entered, and
into which, fast and furious, came the Campbell
and crowd of pursuers. The robber seized,
and, as may be supposed, rather roughly
handled, but no gold dust could be found on him.
Campbell's disappointment and indignation were
fierce in the extremes they lasted but short time,
however; the police officers, up TO such tricks,
searched every nook and Granny and found the lost
treasure and the bank notes-which proved TO be
