Great Mail Robbery in Illinois.

The two largest mails passing over
the Terre Haute and Alton and the
Chicago Branch of the Illinois Central
Railroad, were stolen from the depot in
this place during the last week, and
robbed OF their letters-being carried
about one quarter of mile from the
depot IN the ank-house, there riflcd
and then thrown into the we'll of the
Illinois Central Railroad Company,
where they were found by one of the
hands engaged at the work there
They are now in the hands of the post
master (Mr. Connolly of this place,
who is using every means to save what
little matter was found left in the sacks,
but owing to their being in the well
some eight or ten days, it requires We.
ry careful handling, the matter being
entirely pasted and run together.
They evidently have been large let
ter mails, and no doubt important ones,
as they are the mails from Chicago to
Terre Haute and indianapolis, con.
tanning mail matter for Charleston, Pa
ris, Marshall, and Vincennes; the other
from Indianapolis, Terre Haute, Paris,
Marshall, and Charleston to Chicago,
being mostly business letters, &C., of
Importance.
Mr.. Connolly has been able to save
the way bills of over one hundred let
ters that were destined for Chicago.
There are many way-bills that are very
much mutilated by being torn and de-
faced, the writing on which is illegi-
BILE.
Of the way-bills saved and perfect,
there are forty-fve from different Off
ces throughout Indiana, Illinois, and
Iowa. There is shown on those way
bills, nearly four hundred letters, to
have been mailed, and all that could
be found with the sacks are twenty.
eight letters and about one bushel of
paper mail.
Since writing the above, another
sack has been foupd, having been thrown
into ditch south of town. No clue to
the perpetrators has as yet been dis
covered.

A Peep at the Comet.

AS many. person have pinned their
faith tn the sleeve Of Babinet, and a,v
foolishiy Concerned in reference To his
prediction of fiery. blazing comet at
extraordinary magnitude. who erranJ j,
the destruction of tho world and N,
J"s'ls ofall creation out ri mint, few
more facts are respectful submitted.
The first comet that was discovered
and described accurately. was bv Nj.
csphorus. At the birth Of the great
NTH dates two large cnmets appeared
which were seen forsevenry.two DAYS
together. and whose spendor eclipsed
that of the midday sun. and occupied
iorty-hve degrees. or the fourth PAL, OF
tho heavens, 1856 3. G. This phenom.
enon excited many to self destruc tion,
and not only puzzled hut startled tho
wlsesi astronomers. Nevertheless, its
glory like all things else of sublunarv
nature. soon departed and in lapse Of
less tina" century, was no longer talk.
ed OF. And at this day the only record
OF the astounding event is that of Jus.
tin from the profound depths of whose
researches we have fished it up.
A comet which terrified the rpeopl.
rom lis near approach /" the earth, was
visible from Nov. 3, 1879 to March Q,
loSO. One hundred yeas later anolh-
er still m"re brilliant passed within the
space of 1000. 900 IF miles of the earth.
and one more Brilliant than either was
visible To the naked eye Throughout tho
entire autumn of 1911, These phenom-
e EN-, were frs, nationally explained by
Tyro Brache, about 1879 but more
clearly by Professor Haley, England's
greatest astronomer. .H..a
Or. HALEY first fixed the identity of
comets, and predicted their periodical
return. He dem onstrated that the com
ct ut 1852 wasdbe same with the comet
OF 1886, of 1881. and 1907, deducring
'h's fact from minute observation of
the first mentioned comet, and being
struck 10y its wonderful resemblance To
the comets described as having appear
cd IN those years. A celebrated comet
bearing his name appeared. in 1860. and
came to its pe'ihelion on March IS; and
performs its revolution in about seven
'y'six years, SO that its last appearance
was in 1885, and consequently that of
NJ. BabDet in Jnne next, cannot be the
same. .... ... .. .....-
We incline to the opinion that the APP
preaching comet ia that discovered by
M. Biea. an Austrian Officer, Feb, 2S,
1926. 1t has ever been an object Of
tear on account Of the nearness with
which II has approached, not the earth
but its path. Its revolution takes six
years and thirty eight weeks, and az
lis last appearance was consequently ir
1901, aud It's next would be in 1857. or
as com els are erratic bodies, probably
several months later, extending lis time
I" February 1858; bot notwithstanding
tins plausible conjecture, we anticipate
no harm whatever. AS nebulous body
Is as incapable ofinjnry as churchyard
ghost or the fash Of meteor.

THE ELECTION,

The Following are as full returns of
the Election of the 2sth ult. as we could
obtain. No Poll was opened for Os-
bern's precinct, and the poll.book from
Guseman's had not been returned,-
The vote in our county wasvery small,
perhaps not over half the votes polled.
At the late Presidential election, Bu-
chanan received, in Monongalia, 1473
votes; Fillmore, Go9-total vote 21O2.
Less than one thousand votes we're cast
at the late election which is account
ed for by the facts that the season was
an unusually busy one, and that the
Democracy had no organized opposi.
ton in the field to create an interest in
the canvass. The vote is as follows:

The French Commissioner to China.

From our late French exchanges we
learn that it has been definitely settled
that the French envoy to China, Baron
Gros, is to DO styled commissioner
Extraordinary of France in China"
The chief cause Of complaint which the
French Government alleges against
the Chinense is, that French mission
aries have been vigorously treated
-one Of them, the Able Chapde-
laine, having been put to death in Chi
ma, in violation of the treaty, which
provides that such missionaries, if APP
pretended within Chinese territory,
shall be delivered up to the French
Consul.
The instructions of Baron Gros, after
receiving the plans of military action
laid down for the guidance of the
French squadron as communicated to
Admirals Guerin and Rigault de Geno-
uilly, direct him to demand of the Chi
nese Government a new treaty, in which
the following conditions arc to be in
serted:
l. France; as we'll as England, shall
have resident representative at Pc
kin.
2. Nine ports, instead Of FIVE, shall
be opened to French commerce, and
French vessels may enter ut any point
on the coast of the Celestial Empire
either for repairs or shelter.
B. Missionaries shall be allowed to
preach the Catholic religion in China,
provided they abstain from all attacks
upon the existing government, and con-
form to the laws of the country.
4. The number of French Consuls
in China shall be increased, and their
powers and attributes shall be enlarg-
ed within prescribed limits. ..
The Commissioner Extraordinary is
alone to decide when military opera
tions arc to commence, and to what
extent they shall be conducted; but he
is Instructed, before hostilities shall
actually begin, to present, in conjunc-
ton With the English, an ultimatum
to the Chinese authorities. Washing-
