l
 The New Haven Register publishes the fol- lowing extract from private letter from lady Qormerly of New Haven county:) for the last five years resident of Western Missouri Gas principal of an academy,) to her brother in N CIV Haven, dated
 "Mami, ,Sahne O., Nov 26.
 You ask me to tell you something about the Kansas and Missouri troubles. Of course you know in what they have originated. There is no denying but what the Missourians have de- termined to control the elections, if possible; and 1 don't know that their measures would be |justfiabe, except upon the principles of self preservation; and that you know, is the first law of nature. They certainly had just as good right to go there and vote, as the abolition party at the north had to send their minions by the hundreds and thousands! who had no other business there. Had the question been left to be decided by the actual settlers of the territo- ", Missouri would never have interfered.- However, 1t was not upon the right or wrong of the question, that intended to say anything; but upon the character of those whom the northern press has assailed with all the oppro- brious epithets that could be thought of. l know, either personally or by report, large majority of the men who have been in these expeditions from Lafayette and Saline counties, and presume they may be regarded as tolera- ble fair sample of the balance; and 1 do assure you that they are the very best portion of so- ciety and as good men and true as can be found in any portion of our country-men distn- guished for character and integrity, and every virtue that renders man valuable citizen Many of them are professors of religion, and of unblemished christian character. Such knov to be large proportion of the leaders of these expeditions. These are the men whom the northern press stigmatize as 'Strngfe lows myrmidons,' 'cut throats,' rufians,' 'rowdies, and the like
 That there are some wild, hot-headed young fellows among them is likely, and to be ex- pected; but such as have described to you, so far as my knowledge extends, is the character of those who have determined to meet the ag- gressions of the aboitionists, in defence of what they regard as their rights; and were you here, I think you would bid them God speed.'"

The Robbers of the American Express
 COmnanv.

| It will be remembered that in the month of | September last the American Express Com pany was robbed of $5O,OOO in gold, which it was conveying from Dubuque, Iowa, to the New York branch of the sub-treasury. The Company, failing to receive the stolen specie. paid over the amount to the treasurer, but did not at all releX their efforts to fer. ret out the thieves. The messenger, w. c. White by name, who had charge of the treasure during it's transit by night from Chicago to De. trolt resigned his office at the end of the month and came to this State Mr. Best, detective officer in the employ of the Company, after a few weeks investigation, was at last able to write to his employers that two men, Oliver King, who formerly kept hotel in Lowell, and Wm. c. Aver, formerly a broker at No. +, Brattle Square, in this city, had, through third party wo has also been arrested, deposited $500 in gold in the Haverhill bank, and from other circumstances not yet divulged, it is thought they were in connection with White.
 It was subsequently, ascertained that King whose previous property was we'll known, had made purchases of houses, horses, and other property, and seemed to be rolling in wealth. Upon receipt of this information, officer Best with two of the partners in the American Fix. press Company, Mir. Fargo and MT. Williams immediately stated for this city. Here they held a conference with the chief of police and other officers, and accompanied by Deputy Chief Ham, officers Savage and Lynch, they proceeded 10 Lawrence where King and Aver reside.
 Arrived at Lawrence, Mir. Ham, leaving the rest of his party at the hotel, went out to re- connoitre, and soon discovered Aver riding in one of his new v-purchaSed carriapns Paturp- ing to the house he met and arrested King at the very door; and after placing him in custody went in pursuit of Aver. lie soon captured him, and returned to the hotel. In a search of the premises and persons of these two men, silver plate gold bank bills to the value of nearly S2,2OO, were found in the possession of King whose financial transactions of different kinds, within the past few months, have amount ei to nearly S12,O0O. Aver has recently pur- chased half of a livery stable, and two or three valuable watches were found in his possession
 After a fruitess search for White in New Sa- em Lltchtleld, Manchester and other places, the officers returned to this city on Saturday, and found him here. The three were taken before the Police Court in the afternoon and re- quired to furnish bail in S15,O0O each to appear at the trial, Otis F. Lord, of Salem, and l'hos A. Parsons, of Lawrence, have been engaged as counsel for the defendants.
 There was a rumor few weeks ago that this money had been found as mysterouSly as it was lost This report first appeared in the Chicago Tribune, and was contradcted immediately lv- It may have originated from the letter of of ticer Best to his employers, which was impru- dently mentioned ill that neighborhood -Bos- ton Atas
