New MAGAZINE.-The last mail
brought us the first No. of new Maya
zine published by Phillips, Sampson &
Co, Boston, and called the Atlantic
Monthly At the first glance we cannot
but be pleased with its neat Topographic
cal appearance. We have only had
time to run over the contents and read
an article or two, but are disposed to say
the matter is fully equal to the expecta-
ton begotten by the first look at the
number. So far we like the Atlantic
Monthly immensely. We can hardly
be disappointed in our first impressions
for with such list of actual contributors
as the new Magazine is usheredinto the
world of literature with it can not fail to
prove valuable acquisition to persons Of
taste. The names of Prescott, Emer-
son. Bryant, Longfellow, Hawthorne,
Whittier, Holmes, Lowell, Herman
Melville, Mrs. Stowe, Mrs. Lydia Maria
Child, Mrs G. NJ kirkland, and others
we'll known to fame, are bound to es-
tablish reputation for the Magazine
unsurpassed. These authors have not
only been engaged but are zealously
enlisted in the success of the publica-
ton.
The Atlantic Monthly is devoted to
Literature, Art and Politics. In the
after department it does not promise
neutrality, but treatment of a political
question in bold, yet broad and philo-
sophie spirit.
The Magazine is for sale by all Book
sellers, Newsmen, and Periodical deal
ers in the principal places throughout
the Union, or of the publishers by mail
prepaid, for three dollars per annum, by

Supposed RoJbery.-Pfoba6le Case of
CarelesSness.-A purse of money con-
tanning near 5000 was missing from the
safe in the Liquor Store of Fred May &
Co. on Wednesday morning. AS soon
as officer O'Brien returned from Marys-
vile in the afternoon the information
was impaired to him and reward offer
ed for the recovery of the money
Messrs. O'Brien and Under Sheriff Van
Hagan, after examining the premises
and hearing the story of the occupants
of the building could not believe that a
robbery had been committed, as the
safe was found locked at the time the
money was discovered to be missing and
box of jewelry left in the safe and
some money. The iron doors of the
building were also reported to have
been properly bolted. The officers COM
menced a thorough search of the store
and finally discovered the purse among
lot of rubbish and boxes in one corner
of the store, where but for the assist
ance of Messrs. O'Blien and Van Ha-
gan it would probably have remained
for some time before being brought to
light, as the owners had searched the
premises during the day and had given
the treasure up for lost. The bag, in
view of the many robberies committed
in the vicinity of late, had probably been
concealed in the place where found for
safety and its whereabouts forgotten.

Local Affairs.

THIEF TAKEN AND PROPERTY RE
covERED.-On Sunday last Officer
O'Brien received information of the bur-
glars who have been entering houses of
late in this vicinity and carrying off val
uables. Learning that one was on his
way to Marysville he followed him
thither, and with the assistance of an
officer of that place succeeded in cap
turing him. When first taken in the
streets of Marysville he was hurried to
the station house, stripped and search
ed, but nothing was found upon the per-
son of the thief. He was then turned
loose and watched narrowly. About a
half hour after he was digging in a sand
bank near the river. Discovering that
he was waite he'd, he took to his heels
He was ordered to stop, but not obeying
he was holly pursued and fired upon. A
ball took effect under the right shoulder
blade, in the back, coming out near the
right nipple. Another lodged in one
leg. The rogue fell and submitted to
the officers of the law. On being
searched watch and chain, belonging
to Mr.. Vantine, of Marysville, stolen
some time since, the watch and chain
taken from the house of Judge Buck
ner on Tuesday night of last week, a
pistol stolen from Mr. Sargent's office
the same night, pin taken from the
house of Mr.. Allen, also a silver watch
and chain supposed to be stolen from
some one, were found on his person
The night before he was caught, Fran
els, for that is the name of the rogue,
attempted to enter house in Marysville
but being detected, he fired upon the
person who discovered him, and immedi-
ately left.
Much credit is due to officer O'Brien,
who was deputized by Sheriff Boring,
for the sagacity he has displayed in
catching a notorious thief, who has been
an annoyance to this city for weeks
past, as also to the Marysville police
for valuable information and assistance
rendered him in the affair.

Gideon j. PiUow.-It is we'll known
that this individual has an inordinate
ambition to figure in the United States
Senate, and for some time past his raids
upon the affections of the people of
Tennessee have been standing jokes
among sensible men everywhere. TIC
magnify his great services to his coun-
try in Mexico-where he managed to
throw up breast work with the ditch
on the inside, so as to take the enemy
on the wing as they came over, as even
the raw militia facetiously said,-he as
sumes to criticise General SCOTS tactics
and course during the Mexican war
But bouncing rather unceremoniously
upon friend of Gen. Scott-N. p.
Trist-the old hero picks up pen and
proves the said Pillow to be veritable
jackanape of the purest quality. The
rash Gideon distills another dose of his
essence Of stupidity for the stomach Of
him who dispatched hasty plate Of
soup, whereupon the latter comes back
at him with crusher which utterly de-
molishes the upstart and gives Polk a
side-winder that don't help his fame
overmucb, to be sure. The Legislature
of Tennessee met, and behold. this Pill
low couldn't find bolster in all that
body. Gideon j. Pillow, the confiden-
tial friend, and aforetime law partner OF
Polk, the spy sent out to Mexico by the
latter to watch General Scott, did mt
get vote for the U. S. Senate Thus
his hopes are crushed for the present
and he left to regret the ingratitude Of
Republics.

Mental C0ncentration.-Ihe blindfold
chess-playing of Mr.. Paulsen of Iowa,
as recorded in the New York papers, ex-
hibits one of the most remarkable intel
lectual feats which we have known in
modern times. Here is a young man,
only twenty-four years of age, who,
blindfolded, plays contemporaneously
five games of chess with FIVE strong adj
versaries, conquers four, and comes out
in a draw game with the fifth. At any
stage of the playing, he is able to de-
scribe exactly the position of all the pie
ces on all the boards. What concen-
tration of thought, what skill in combi-
nation, what distinctness and amplitude
of memory, does such feat evince. 1t
would seem that such man is fitted for
the highest achievements in any pro-
fessional or scientific pursuit. But we
know from observation that such con-
clusion does not necessarily follow
The genius in one department, may be
but ordinary, or even below ordinary. in
every other. In fact, it is rarer to find
a man of good combination of all men,
tai powers, than it is find brilliant in
stances of separate faculties. We are
at liberty, however, to entertain the
hope that Mr.. Paulsen has other excel
lencies besides his skill in chess-p.aying
Tie McKi66en A6air.-The Atlantic
papers tell us of shooting affair be-
tween Joseph G. McKibben, and a
younger brother on one side, and a
brothsr-in-law, Mr.. Isaac Craig. on the
other. The affair occurred at Cham
bersburg, Penn. Craig was in the cars
at the time. Joseph entered the car at
one end and the brother at the side and
commenced firing at Craig who return
ed the fire promptly with revolver in
each hand. About 20 shots were fred
Craig was wounded twice but not dan
gerously. Our Membef of Congress

The affair grew out of the alleged Sc
duction by Craig of sister of the Nc
Kibbens who is deaf and dumb.

Hard Money Currency.-Some of our
contemporaries of the locofoco school,
are directly or indirectly advocating an
exclusive hard money currency. They
tell us it is in accordance with Demo
cratic principles that paper money
should be discontinued and gold and sill
yer substituted in its stead. Let us see.
South Carolina has always been a loco
foco State. Its constitution and laws
were made by that party. And yet pa
per money is recognized as one of the
institutions of that State, and the CAPT
tai invested in banking in South Caro-
lima exceeds that of any other State in
the Union in proportion to population
Virginia, the mother of Democracy, pre-
sents similar spectacle. New Hamp-
shire has always till lately been count
ed a Democratic State. She permits
banks and paper money to circulate al.
most to the exclusion of all hard money
but few coppers. Why, if Democracy
is opposed to bank bills, has not the
party, potent as it has been all along in
some of the States, excluded the evil
long ere this And now having control
of the general and State governments
why do not its principal men wage a
shinplaster war until rags are no lon.
ger currentl We have had preaching
without practice long enough. Away
with such hypocrisy, for hypocrisy it is
and nothing else. We undertake to say
four fif;hs of all the banks ever institu
ted in the United States were chartered
by locofoco authority, and a pregnant
fact indicative of the views sub rosa Of
the leading men of the party may be
given, that the administration keeps un.
der pay the National hteligencer, which
paper advocates the substitution of an.
other United States Bank in lieu of the
Independent Treasury.
