Great Robbery I'm Georgia.

The following paragraph, giving an &c.
count of a great robbery in Monroe CO.,
Ca, and the arrest of two of The robbers,
one of whom halls from this city, are Ia.
ken from a letter from the neighborhood,
dated October 18th, addressed to a mer.
chant of this city, who has placed it in
our hands for publication:
"Our community have been thrown in.
to quite a CONSERVATION by a bold and
startling robbery which was committed a
few nights ago in Monroe county. The
party consisted OF five men. who a.isck-
ed a wealthy old farmer who was known
to have abundance of money. The rob
bers took $1,000 in gold and silver, and
made their escape. They came on
horseback as far as this place. They
arrived about breakfast lime, and thought
il most safe for them to separate. Three
went on towards Griffin, and the other
two towards Newman. They were close
ly pursued by several men thus far. and
upon their arrival here, James PEBBLES
and Coales joined in the chase and came
up with the robbers at Newman. These
had concluded to pass through the back
streets OF the village, but by that time
the whole town had been aroused en-
mass and turned out, and the two were
captured. On examination one proved
to be the notorious DR.. Roberts, who
was convicted of robbery a few years a.
60, and sent TO the Penitentiary in Ala.
bama, but pardoned out about two years
ago. The other processes TO be j. b.
Simpson. of New Orleans, and from his
papers and baggage appears to have been
a SPECTATOR in cotton in your city. You
will remember there was a man of that
name who ~absconded from New Orleans
last spring. Both were handcuffed and
taken 10 Jail. The other had not been
arrested"

Eruption in Mount Etna.

The published account from Catania,
as TO the course Of the lava, reach to The
9Th September. Zaffarsna which ap-
pears to have been in such great peril
il is now hoped may escape.
We find the following graphic account
Of the lava in a letter da ted Calania, Aug.
3d.
Yesterday after breakfast we reached
Zaffarana; from the last house in the viii
lage we saw the lava at guushot distance,
and at that distance The heat was very
great.

airy and irightful torrent advance is not

first waves, if | may so express myself,
rise aud fall at the least oh stacle they en-,
counter; then send forth streamlets here
and there, recede, extend themselves, aud
again advance. Now it is heard as a
continued sound of glass breaking in
the fire, nothing more, and now immense
damage succeeds. Every now and then

greater obstacles or of water.
by day all this grand mass presents
an appearance between red and yellow,
sometimes dull sometimes brighter. ! can
i'll describe the spectacle by night; that
dull stream of fire, those clouds of ashes
and sulphurous vapors are beyond des-
c~ription, and sublimely horrible.
1.-The streams of lava are much high

former lands have become solid, the new
lava flows over them.

feeling of misery and grief which per.

that has fallen upon many propriesors

Last Moments of Daniel Webster
MARsHFIELD, Saturday !
Evening, 10 o'clock. {

During the day Mr.. Webster convers-
ed freely and with grea. c~learness Of de.
tail of his private affairs and condition of
the farm, stating his plans fully; a, five
o'clock he was seized with violent naus-
ca, and raised considerable dark matter,
Hinged with blood; great exhaustion en-
sued. The physicians announced 10 him
that his last hour was approaching; he re-
ceive4 The announcement calmly, called
in the females Of his family; addressed
them in a few words, individually, Of
farewell; then he called the male mem
bers and personal friends, whom also he
addressed individually, referred to past
relations, and babe them an aflecsionate
farewell, after calling the richest blessings
of heaven upon Peter Harvey. He then
said, as ifspeaking to himself, on the Gath
of October, all that is mortal of Daniel
Webster will be no more. He then pray
ed ia a full, clear voice, ending "~Iieascn-
ly Father, forgive my sins and receive
me to myself through Christ Jesus."--
he then convsrsed with DIR. Jefireys,
who SAID he could do nothing more
VeOSbcf SleN Snlu. tiISh l. dhl HSiS
patiently ill the end; be il so; may j..
come soOn."
Between 10 and III O'Clock, Webster
repeated indi.inct.y the words OF poetry
from Gray. Fletcher Webster repeated
the first line:
1.-THE curfew tolls the snell Of parting day. "
That. il, that's it," said Webstel.-
The book was brought and stanzas read;
.his seemed TO give him pleasure.
From IL TO 2, A. NJ, much restlessness
ensued, with slight suffering; f,in'ncss
now occurred which lasted till DEATH
While in this condition, some expressions
fell from him, indicating .hs. his mind
would remain with him till the last. Mr..
Webster spoke of the difficulty of dying
when DIR. Jeffreys repeated the verse
Though | walk through the valley OF
the shadow Of death, ! will fear no evil,
for thou art with me, thy rod and thy
staff, they comfort me-" Mr.. Webster
said Immediately, "the fact! the fact! that
is wha, l meant, thy rod, thy stafi."-
The close was perfectly tranquil and
easy.
Mrs. Webster was unable TO witness
the last moments, and awaited the event
in her own apartment.
Mr.. Webster gave special directions
that lie be buried unostentaliously, and
inferred in South MarshGeld tomb. No
day is fixed for the funeral.

France and AmerIcU.

The London CORES pondent of,he New
York Tribune asserts that Louis Bonapari
has already proved his Intention of med,
ding in American affairs, and adds:
"He has sent his friend and Minister,
M. de Persigney, TO London. in order TO
bring about an understanding as to the
state of things in Mexico, and he has de.
Glazed that he is ready 10 maintain the
right of Peru 10 The Guano Islands, which
he has been called in question by Mr..
Webster; and, as Lord M~ales5ury is the
personal friend of Louis Bonapars, there
is no doubt whatever that Russia will sue.
coed through him. in involving England
and France in difficulty with The United
States. The first thing is, of curse the
meddling with the affairs of South Amer.
ica."

INTERESTING FROM WAsHINGToN.-
The New York Express, of Saturday
10Th, says:
"Our special correspondent telegraphs
us from Washington that there is great
activity in the Navy Department, and
That about every vessel capable of being
pu, in commission will, as early as prac-
licable, be ordered TO sea. The Japan
expedition will get away in November,
aud Commodore McAuley will remain in
the Pacific until all things are made quiet
shere. Intelligence has reached Wash
ington that a large number of vessels,
chartered for loading with guano at the
Lobos Islands, and now on their way
there, are in danger of being seized, or
arrested, in a business which has hiiher-
to been regarded as legitimate and regular.
1t is believed that the Administration, in
the order Of August last, intended but to
suspend for a time the protection which
had been pledged to the American fleet
of vessels SO many Of which have been
chartered in the Atlantic and Pacific ports.
The Rarilan will remain in the neighbor-
hood of the Lobos Islands, and, if neces-
sary, the Japan fleet will stop there on
The way out.

Attempted Arson.

On Monday night the 4th ms. near ii
o'clock, when all our hands were absent
from our Printing Office, a villain entered
il. tore up our edition for that week which
had been printed on one side; then tore
in pieces all of the white paper, then
piled the balance of it on and against the
stove, so as to have one end extend TO
the stove door while the other end rested
upon the floor of the Office, and so as 10
communicate with paper piled up against
the sides of the stove. Fortunately one
Of our hands who slept in the Office of
nights, but who had been absent that
evening, returned just as the paper out
side the stove began to burn freely and by
the use of two buckets full of water,
which fortunately were in the room, soon
extlnguished the fire, and before it had
done any damage to the furniture or room.
Our office is in the upper story of a large
frame building, in one part of the lower
story is a grocery Store and in the other
a large Tin and Stove shop, all of which
with an adjoining building must have con
sumed had not the fire been discovered
in time so tina, it could be extinguished.
The miscreant could but just have made
his escape as the young man returned,
but he had gone, and as yet no knowl-
edge of the culprit has been obtained
The Indignation of the people here when
they learned that such a desperado, was
among them was almost withou. bounds
and had he been known, we doubt wheth-
er he would have been able TO have es-
capped the jurisdiction Of Judge Lynch,
notwithstanding the general feeling Of OPP
