NAIL ROBBERY.

We yesterday met Capt. Carson, on the New
Lucy on his way to investigate case of mai
robbery. The robbery was committed by a mail
rider near Fairfield, illinois, who took eight land
warrants and five hundred dollars in money
from the mail bags. The stolen property was
passed over to his three brothers, who sold one
OF the land warrants at Mount Vernon, about
1hirty miles distant and the other at Pinokney-
vile. 10 prepare these warrants for sale, the
robbers must also have committed forgery.
-Four OF the warrants are located al Kaskaskia.
Two hundred of the ave hundred dollars stolen
Usrs half sheet blls, and some bills of that
chsrsctsr have been passed by the brothers, all
Of whom are now in Jail at Fairfield, in default
Of $4,000 bail for the principal, and 81 900 for
each Of the accessories, and will be tried at
Springfield in December, There is no doubt of
their guilt.

CITY ATTORNEY

Mr. 5. 5. Allen requests us to correct mis-
apprehension likely to arise from the published
report OF the recent city election. He was not
candidate for the Office, was away from home
on Monday, and previously to going had posi-
lively refused torun. One reason was, he was
not eligible not having lived here two years.
A man naturally enough dislikes to be published
as defeated candidate, when he was not a can
didate at all.

BIG DoINs,

At night, last Tuesday, apparently labOrinq
under the hallucination that the Rails county
folks, by swelling the democratic vote Of thi,
township TO a small majority, had elected Pierce,
the "unterrifed" rolled out some tar barrels on
The Levee, and set the small boys to make a
great light to attract an audience for Mr. James
5. Green, who with face newly shaved and
washed, and haiE slickly Combsd, harangued the
Democracy ca their glorious eleuen mai,rity.-
There was such an uproar, however, from the
boys that nothing could be heard. After Mr..
Green, Mr.. Harrison talked as we'll as he could
for the noise and confusion.

Attack of three thousand sayages upon an American
Brig.

Aitaek Oh three thousand Savages upon an American
Brig.
We learn (says an exchange) by private let
tiers from Rio de Janeiro, that the American
brig Mary Alkaline, A. Oaksmith, of New
York, Master, arrived at that port on the 9Th
OF August, from the coast Of Africa, where she
had most perilous and thrilling adventure with
savagcs on the river, with valuable cargo from
RIO Janclro, and, on rounding Stark Point, I'M
fortunately got aground near the shore. The
natives seeing her helpless condition. floeked to
The shore to plumber the vessel, and in the
course oil the day their numbers amounted to
some three thousand. They made furious and
savage assault upon the vessel which was most
bravely and CALAMITY defended by the captain
and his crew for some hours, till the British
armed brigantine Dolphin, which was fortunate
" IN the river, came to his rescue, and saved
The vessel and Cargo, and she lives of all on
board, though not without the loss of life on the
part Of the savages. On the following day the
British steamer FREELY came into the river, and
promptly rendered every possible aid, together
with the Dolphin, to relieve the Mary Adaline,
which was at length got afloat, and enabled TO
pursue her voyage without much loss or damage.
RAILROAD SURVEY ComPLrrE.-We had the
pleasure of a visit on Thursday afternoon from
MI ~ 1 Drown, assistant engineer on the Pa
ciic Railroad. His survey commenced at JEFF
ferson City, running along the bank Of the Mis-
souri, river to this city, distance Of forty-fve
and half miles, thence along the bank Of the
river to The mouth of the Laminc river-up the
Lamine TO the mouth of Backwater, and from
thence TO Salt Fork, in Saline county, running
about four miles south of Marshall and in near
ly direct line to Lexington His route con-
nected with that run by Mr.. Stewart, from Kan
sas down, near Jonesboro, in Saline county.
The distance, by the river route, from jeHer-
son City TO Kansas by this survey, is one hun
dred and ffty-one miles, and from Jefferson
City to st. Louis, one hundred and TWENTY-FIVE
five miles and half shorter than anv
route yet surveyed and the cost Of construc-
non supposed to be from 81 800 TO SO coo per
mile cheaper than any other route. The whole
Instance by this route from St. Louis to Kansas
IS two hundred and seventy three miles, and it
can be built for about half million dollars less
han any other road. This looks very encoura-
5lng TO the friends Of the river route. With the
arge subscriptions they have made TO the road,
md the diminished price at which it can be con,
'tructed, they have confidence that il NAV be
ocated on this route Boonvile Obs.

SaOU in Mem Orleans.

We clip the following from the New Orleans
Delta, of the 18th inst. Our people will see
that if they have been subjected to an uuusu-
ally inclement season, the people of New
Orleans, where winter seldom appears in his
rougher moode, have been made to shiver un-
der the dispensation of heavy snow storm:
NEW ORLEANS CLAD IN WHITE RoBEs-We
wrote our notice of the sudden and extraordinary
visitation OF snow, early last evening, when the
snow had fallen only TO the depth of inches. We
have to record still further DEVELOPMENT of this
| phenomenon, which made our oldest Inhabitants
when they awoke This morning and looked out of the
window, stare IN utter amazenent and stupefaction
1t showed all night, and this morning the earth was
entirely invisible white carpet to the depth of EIGHT
inches covered its entire surface During the NIGHT
our population were all agog, and snow balls flew as
thick and as fast bullets at Buena Vista The hats
OF peaceahle citizens were knocked into c6rners
eyes aud mouths were filed with conalomerated
ma ses OF snow, and ears stopped with heavy
SOLID Jumps, whchit took considerable shaking of the
head sideways to get out and flakes of the subtle ele
ment were deposited under the coat collar which
occasloned 5martng, burning sensation Altogether
our streets presented lively appearance last eve
ming. The crowd who attended Neatie's benefit. at
the 81 Charles, experienced large share of the no
nee OF snowbaling urchins, in the shape of voies
OF balls which they took quite good naturedy
When the morning broke, the scene was indiscri
baby rare andnteresting-suc as has not been wit
messed in New Orleans for forty years. Some of the
Oldest bitants did say that in ls06 and 1911 there
was as heavy fall of snow, but old people always
think that everything in their day ahead of pre-
sent times, so allowances are to be made for their
statements. Nobody however. pretends that there
has been any such fall of snow since 1911; that of
1888 was not as deep by several inches, but the cold
was much greater, and there was more ice. Skaters
were out then, but there no seighng; whereas
evennow, whilst we write, the merry bells of seighs
may be heard passing cur Office Several extempo-
raneous vehicles of this character were hurriedly
fitted up, and their owners have made good use Of
the short time allotted to them, to snatch mere
seinblance, at least Of this delightful sport
Our merchant ana vehicle-venders had neglect
ed 20 lay in supply OF sleighs, but fortunately
there were plenty Of dry goods boxes and other
timber, and Yankee ingenuity soon contrived to
supply the deficiency. But alas we fear tina, the
fun viii be britt, as the Sun already beeius 10 pro

FROM THE RIO GRANDE.

|. by the arrival of the schooner Star, Captain
Hoffman, at New Oreuns from Brazos San
tiago, the New Orleans papers have dates from
Brownsville of the 3lst ult.
The Rio Bravo states that on Christmas eve
some eight or ten persons, at Rio Grande city,
crossed over to the opposite side and attacked
Mexican guards stationed at that point, in num-
Der fifteen or twenty men. Three of the Next
can soldiers were killed, and the rest were
wounded or dispersed. The reason ASST gned
for this bigh.handed outrage, was that these
guards insulted all persons who had occasion
to cross the river, and that they had grossly in
suited some ladies that day, under pretext OF
searching them. The persons composing the
attacking party are not known.
The Rio Bravo says it is assured that for
the last month and upwards, all of its mails
sent to the interior of Mexico, have been inter-
cepted and withheld from their places of direc-
ton by order either of Gen. Avalos or Gen.
Uraga. -
The Rio Bravo gives the following mpor-
tant item in relation to the Tehuantepec af-
fair, which we do not remember to have seen
before:
In the Mexican Senate the following bill or
project of law, presented by Senor Gambos
was read the first time:
Art. /. Tue Executive will proceed to open
negotiations with the Government of Her Bri-
fannie Majesty, for the purpose of verifying
the opening of the Islhmus of Tehuautepec.
Art. 2. Ofthis agreement the following bases
are necessary.
/. The British Government shall bind itself
TO open the canal within a special time, losing
its right should it fail to comply it shall bind
itself to pay the capital and interest of the
foreign debt from the day the contract is
signed; it shall erect the Notifications the Co.
vernrnent of Mexico may design as convenient
to It's safety and security, and it shall succor
Mexico in the case Of any invasion tending to
deprive her of the right to those lands of Te-
| huantepec and to the canal.
2 The Mexican Nation facilitates its 18th.
| mas for the only purposes indicated; it shall
| maintain military post of no less than NV o
| hundred men to protect the work; it shall give
| the forces that may be necessary to cover the
forts. and cedes the duties imposed for crossing
| the Isthmus as we'll as others it might receive
in favor of Great Britain, for the time that ma
be sufficient 10 satisfy the amount of the debt
| and the indemni6cation that may be stipulated
| as a premium.

The Are. Others were held alive over the
aames, COZ The amusement Of the savagss,
whose nirth knew no bounds, when they be-
held the victims writing in torture. The fate
of Captain Hart, uf the Kentucky volunteers,
was particularly depiorable. He was the
broihe, .in-law of the Hon. Henry Clay, and
was one of the most promising among the Ame-
riean officers. He had been wounded 10 the
knee, and was unable to walk. He happened
to fall in with halfbreed, named Elliott, who
was q Captain in the British army, and had
been his cIassmate at Princeton College. This
man promised to protect him, and TO carry him
| to his own house in Maiden. Nevertheless, he
left him TO his fate, and party Of Indians en-
tering his room, tore him from his bed and
were about to murder him, when he was res
cued by brother officer. He then made
| contract with an Indian, to convey him on
horseback to Maiden, and actually paid the
stipulated price. The party Get out, and at the
distance of four miles, were met by another
body of Indians, one of whom shot Captain
Hart dead On the spot. He was fomahawkcd,
scalred, and being left on the ground, his body
was devoured by dogs and hogs. An Ameri-
can officer representing to Elliott, the necessity
OF medical assistance for the sick and wound
ed, received ior answer, that the "Indians Tere
excellent surgeons?" The number Of wound
ed prisoners, who were stripped and murdered,
was sixty-four!
In all history there is nothing so Infamous
as this massacre. The British, in their official
account, took the entire responsibility, by say
ing that "Roundhead, and his band Of warriors,
rendered essential service, by their bravery and
good conduct" The prisoners who reached
Maiden, when offered their parole, the condition
of which was, that until regularly exchanged
they should not bear arms against his majesty
or his majesty's allies, asked, ''who are his
maiesty's allies ~ Ashamed to answer thi,
question directly, the authorities replied "his
majesty's allies are we'll known" Certaj nly
they were. They were "Roundhead and his
band of warriors"
