AsSizc at Munich was lately occupied
with the tral Of band of robbers.
who had for some time back been com.
uniting great number of robberies
and several murders. What distin.
guished these men was that they have
lived altogether in the Gil Bias style.
They inhabited n vast cavern in the
SchiIlbinger Forest, the entrance to
which was concealed by old trunks Of
trees. Two.and.tw, steps led to
the chambers below, five in humber,
two of which were twenty feet long by
nine wide. In the kitchen was placed
vast fireplace, the chimney of which
issued in the midst of n thick cump Of
trees, and through precaution, fire was
only lighted there by night. The rob.
bers had also their stables and store.
houses all underground. and at the
end of q long corrIdur there was even
found sort of slaughter.house, where
they killed the animals which they re,
qnired for food. The court condemn.

the others, either to imprsonment
with hard labour, or to simpl impris.

REILLY OF Hon. l.. NJ. kElrr.-Thc
following reply was recently eiici,cd
from The Hon. l.. NJ. kElrr by a
remark made by Mr.. SoLLEns OF
Maryland against nuliiicaton and
secession.
" Mr.. kcitt-Thc gcnteman from
Maryland (Mr. S"licr>) has introduced
tle'c What he is pleased to call the
northern extreme and the Southern
extreme in con junction. This, sir is
i matter of taste and when not con.
''rctcd with anything personal and
offensive, may he allowed To pass
lie spoke on notification and secession,
and said the Know Nnthings were
opposed to them as violently as to
Ab"litioniSn. Sir, accept the ad.
mission. AS my friend from Virginia,
CHR. Lctchcri has yicl led to me the
floor for IL moment, shall make Il
tcw remarks.
Sir, the principles of notification
have been illustrated by the nobcst
intellect of my State. 1t has been
illustrated and expnunJed by Calhoun,
llaync, McDuflic, and Preston, and
that host ofgrcat minds, which poured
SpIend"r up II the annals of Carolina
in 1882. Sir, it was Il party of brave
men and free men. In times OF
trouble and danger, South Carolina
made heavy aac..nce of blood an
treasure for the Union but when
inSutierable wrong was inflicted upon
her, she took her safety into her own
hands, aud gathered her children
around her to redress her wrongs, and
maintain her rights and sovereignty.
Yes, sir. she gathered together snrs to
defend her rights. This. sir, she did
openly, in thu eye Of the sun. She
did not gather them ut midnight hour,
and in subtaranean caves to conceal
her purpose. No Catlinc was there,
with brand and dagger, fostering in
midnight conspiracy, ard in senate
hall next day, when disclosures were
made, protesting to be Know
Nothing" Sir, she rallied her sons
